Re: Links won't launch on new device

I just viewed john_iv's response and am wondering if I'm on a useless quest. Still Linksing, I also would prefer to continue merrily along with Vista on my old Dell, but now continually get the Blue Screen of Death and have no idea how to fix it. Anyone have any ideas? Should I just go and get a new...

Re: Links won't launch on new device

Just wondering, does it make a difference what location Links starts in? Right now, it shows as "C:\ProgramData\Links 2003"

Re: Links won't launch on new device

Thanks Still Linksing, I have set it run as Windows 7 and to run it as Administrator. In the same screen, there was a Change high dpi setting options which I clicked.

Re: Links won't launch on new device

I should add that whatever I know about Windows (which isn't much) came with using Vista for too many years. So I am in essence a cave man when it comes to the current version. After receiving Daniel's suggestion, it took a lot of searching before I could even find what he was talking about, but I f...

Re: Links won't launch on new device

I very much appreciate your responses and am somewhat encouraged by Still Linksing saying the game will work on my machine. I just need to find the magic button(s). Per the instructions from Pete in response to another user's issues, I went to compatibility mode and changed to a target of Links Laun...

Re: Links won't launch on new device

I read through the sticky note "Links 2003 and Links 2001 won't launch" and tried the solution suggested by pmgolf. It looked a bit more promising until I got the message "Cannot find Language.dll in w:\program\assets\binaries or w:, this file is required." I don't have anything ...

Links won't launch on new device

I just purchased Links and tried to load it on a Microsoft Surface Pro X running Windows 11 Home. After loading, I clicked on the shortcut link and nothing happens. Can anyone offer help or advice?

Re: Atlanta Athletic Club Highlands Course

Sorry but I have no plans of doing that right now No Problem as can use more forward tees to simulate playing holes #2 and #18 as par 4's since do not keep up with my stats or course stats. Hole #18 with lake in front of green just plainly says to lay up second shot playing it as a par 5 since if c...

Re: Glen Abbey Members and Tournament

I've always enjoyed the layout of this course, but in past renditions putting and chipping was nearly impossible, at least for me. Hats off to Mr. Braden for greens that are actually playable (and, based on his many efforts, presumably pretty accurate). Thanks!
