How to Get "Jurassic Park: Operations Genius" to Work for Vista

In "Operation Genesis" players construct habitats for many of the book and film's dinosaurs, including the tyrannosaurus rex.

"Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis" is a 2003 PC game that puts players in control of constructing the titular theme park. While the game was made before the release of Windows Vista, it should run on the operating system using Vista's compatibility options that allow older software to run on the operating system by simulating an earlier version of Windows. You should also update drivers for your video and sound cards by visiting the manufacturer's website.
