Directplay on Windows 10

I think you have missed the point. Others have shown the way, but a lot of people are/were having a problem enabling Direct Play via P&F.

There is at least one post in this too long thread that mentions Skype , or Anti-Virus as a source of conflict, and disabling Skype

(or other potential conflicting software or Services) can help those having problems with enabling Direct Play.

• I see others have gone the extreme route and reinstalled Win10, which would also have removed any conflicting software.

My guess it they didn't read the post regarding Skype, or didn't troubleshoot other possible conflicting software.

Glad I could help, though it would be a lot better if the solution would've been much easier. :) Enjoy your old beautiful games. :)

Thanks buddy I did it today and it worked . I'm able to play old games now . It turned on directplay after all the other crazy crap I tried . Windows 10 is awful.
