Your columns are as expected, but where are the column headers???
Try working some more to see if you can get the column headers to appear.

Anyway, I can see two files with a .exe extension.
In that list, Right click on gBrowser.exe and then click Run as adminstrator.
Any luck?

If posting at 11:00 doesn't work:

What Program Files folder do you have that game program copied to?

If Program Files folder, try moving the Games folder into the Program Files (x86) folder.
Then try all the above suggestions.

I can find no way of getting Column headers to appear in Folders.
The program is already in Program File(86)
Running the .exe file just gets it to try to Install again, not actually run.

Which exe file?

Can you expand that folder called Game and do a screenshot of the files it contains?

gbrowser.exe.
The other .exe. files are for Uninstalling.
The .exe file in Games has the effect of bringing up an error file.

Its possible that your old computer was 32bit, and the program worked on it.
Is your new computer 64 bit?
Since it has a Program Files (x86) folder, it looks like it is and the program may not be suitable on that hardware.

If you surf on this:
vbrun300.dll windows 7 64 bit
you'll find lots of articles on the problem you are experiencing.

Having said that, I'm surprised that the demo version works.
Is the exe for the demo in any of the folders you have shown us?

Just realised that this is a 64 bit system. That probably accounts for it.For the life of me, only two days ago, I cannot remember how I got the Demo to work either. There are no other .exe files anywhere that I can see.
My mind is going!

This program (DOSBOX) describes itself as "games software" but is useful for many things (and it works!).

For example, I use it for old DOS software which I still use which needs full screen support. It turns out that microsoft  has removed full screen support in Windows 7....!

Ive edited your posting Eric and changed the link slightly as it didn't work for me when clicked.
