We recently replaced our Gettysburg disc, but we can't get it to load and the website seems to have no 'help' page or contact option…any suggestions? |

I remember the game! If memory serves, it was either DOS or Windows 95/98. You might try running it in DOSBox, a free DOS emulator. |

You might also look at D-Fend, which is a Window style UI for DosBox |

Go to the HPS website, they should be able to help you sort it out. hpssims.com If not, you might try with these guys, wargamingsociety.com some of the people here do research and game prep for Tiller and HPS. |

They still sell it, I bought a new copy, but I can't get it to pl;ay, so I'l check ou the suggestions above. Manuy thanks to one and all. If I can make the game work my better half will be very happy. I would n't say she's keen, but despite always playing the confederate side (and therefore always losing) she took her old lap top half way round the world so we could play it. |

Upgraded to Windows 10 and it seems to be working fine! |
