If this game in MS DOS mode, you never can play it on Vista. try to find more later version of this game ( for example: Return of the Incredible Machine: Contraptions)

You can play all those old games on VIsta or xp or any OS if you'd like. :) what you need is an EMULATOR. you need DOS-box.72, it's a free download. then you need to DL the put the game into a file called something like.... c:\old <<<
Here is a place where you can DL the game, well it's a free DL at bestoldgames.net, and dos-box is free from majorgeeks.com, if you can't figure out the mounting thing just let me know.
