Hello, I just wanted to tell you that this game is really great and that my friend Sarah and I have been playing for a long time. Thanks to this game, I have improved my computer skills and today you can see and hear me because I am everywhere thanks to my friend Harold. The machine continues to monitor you...
I don't know why while I'm playing the game closes. Any solution??

Inside the extracted folder, go to:
Oregon Trail 1.2\OTWIN32\OREGON32.exe
Right click OREGON32, go to Properties, set compatibility to Windows 95, then run. Sound will now work. I use Windows 10.

Some of us made it first time but Jed and Sara died. I was good with it though. They were a scroggin' together within a month we set out. Jed was my friend and Sara my wife.

Simply does not work on Windows 10. Windows gives the error message that this game can't run, I've even tried in compatibility mode but to no avail. Guess it would have to be run in an emulator or something.

I should have done this. - Open the OTWIN32 folder. Save a copy of OREGON.INI to your desktop just to be safe.
- Open the configuration settings file OREGON.INI. It should open in Notepad.
- There is an arrow symbol at the bottom of the text that should not be there. Just delete it.
- Close and save the file. When you run OREGON32.EXE, it should run with full sound. :)

To make it go full screen, select the "Run at 640 X 480 screen resolution" option, which is found under the Compatibility tab. Also select "Disable visual themes" if you want to save your games. My machine is Windows 7 32 bit, and Oregon Trail 1.2 needs to be run in Windows 95 Compatibility Mode. Happy Trails!

Jason03 May. 2016
I got it working in Windows 7 64 bit by setting 95 compatibility on the icon. However its a very small window, and ALT TAB doesn't make it go full screen. Are there any other tricks you guys know of to run it full screen?

Just drag the .exe file for the game to DosBox, and it works fine. If not, right-click on oregon32.exe. Then, click on properties. Select "Compatability", and select Windows 95. Just open it up.

KT said to delete the arrow in oregon.INI. however, there is not arrow there for me to delete and the sound does not work when playing the game. The music files is just below oregon.ini and oregon32.exe and play whenever I open the files in windows media player. How do i get them to play in the game as well as the character's voices?
