The download is broken! It doesn't work!

The program works without any problems. I can recommend a YouTube guide named "Run Any Game in Windowed Mode using DXWND". I managed to run Lords of Magic Special Edition without any issues. You did a great job, thank you.

Amazing tool for compatibility and to optionally make games run on windowed mode. Note the tool is so complete, that the original "run games in a window" description seems dated and funny compared to what it can really achieve. MUST HAVE FOR RETRO GAMING.

Great little program to run old 32 bit software on a 64bit machine. Ease of use may be a little difficult for first time users, may take a little time to familiarise yourself with the software. The performance is fantastic and the graphics are excellent. There are lots of tweaks and enhancements for advanced users.
