This is a straight forward easy to play and user friendly golf game with more course options than Microsoft Golf '98, but basically the same.
There have been numerous reports regarding it's compatibility with any operating system above Windows NT4, but I have it running on Windows 7 Home edition (32bit).
The settings I have used are to set the Virtual Memory to Custom minimum 32mb and maximum to 3056 (my RAM is 2gb). You will need to reboot after setting.
The compatibility mode setting I set to: all users Windows98/Windows ME.
Originally, and occasionally at times when opening the program an error message appears stating that the program needs a certain amount of memory to run - and no amount of clicking will get it to run. What appears to throw it out is the specific amount of memory actually being used at that time.
A very weird solution, (which may account for this), I have found that if I open Windows Movie Maker or Skype, and click on Microsoft Golf 1999, the program loads up with no problems.
As soon as I have Golf 1999 running, I create a system back up, to ensure I can revert to the working setup if the error message comes up again.
Microsoft Windows 7 Compatibility "Help" is useless - so don't waste your time on that.
Here's a screen shot to prove it loaded up OK.
The same applies to Microsoft Golf '98, which I have reviewed similarly on that particular program listing.
I must mention that, whatever I tried to do, it was impossible to run the game on my Laptop running Windows 8.1 64 bit
Hope this helps.
