I have an old computer game from 1998 and I would really love to play it again but when I insert the disk all this junk comes up and it won't let me play it... the game is rugrats adventure game rescue reptar. This box pops up and says run game or close I select run then this other box pops up and says sorry this game has encountered a problem. At the bottom you can press send error report or don't send error report.. but no matter what it don't workk. Can you please give me suggestions on what to do? THANKS (:

From a quick search online, I could not find any details about that game specifically. What operating system was it made for? Chances are you will need an emulator since old games do not mix well with newer operating systems.

What operating system was the game made to run on? If it is made to run in MS-DOS then you should look into DosBox as an emulator. It can be a pain to get to work sometimes though. On DosBox's website there is plenty of documentation on how to set it up and get it working. But like I said, this all assumes that the game is made to run on MS-DOS. It should say on the packaging what the required OS is. If you don't know, then perhaps you could clarify the title of the game.

The following games are listed as Rugrats PC games according to Wikipedia:

Rugrats in Paris - The Movie
Rugrats: Totally Angelica Boredom Busters
Rugrats: Go Wild
Rugrats: All Growed Up - Older and Bolder
Rugrats Activity Challenge
Rugrats Adventure Game*
Rugrats Muchin Land
The Rugrats Mystery Adventures


* I assume this is possibly the game you are talking about and Wikipedia just doesn't list the subtitle as "Rescue Reptar".

If the above assumption is correct, follow the below steps and let me know if it works:

1. Create a folder for the Rugrats Adventure Game.
2. Go inside the PROGRAM folder on the disc.
3. Copy all the contents and put them in the folder you created.
4. Go inside the QTWSETUP folder on the disc.
5. Copy the DATA.Z file and put it into the folder you created.
6. Use an extractor, like Universal Extractor, to extract DATA.Z's contents into the folder you created. 7-zip should also work.
7. Then run RUGRATS.EXE (Make sure the disc is in DVD/CD drive) (If you are using XP or Vista, make sure you have compatibility mode on to Windows 95)

To set compatibility mode: Right click on the RUGRATS.EXE file, choose properties, click the "compatibility" tab, then check something that says "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and choose Windows 95.

I am trying to install the Rugrats Mystery Adventures on Vista, and there is no QTWSETUP folder and no Data.z file.
