Hey why don't you try what I tried and get a Windows emulator... Rayman Jungle Run is available for Windows 8 too. I can't guarantee that it works - your CPU needs to support hardware virtualization and it turned out mine does not - but emulating Windows on Windows could be a lot less laggy.

Hm... do you perhaps mean VirtualBox? I thought that one would end my compatibility issue with Sims 2, which isn't running on Windows 8, but I don't know how to make the visual part work. It keeps saying that some visual thing system whatever is halted.

Well... there's probably a way to get around that :hehe:

Yeah, I used VirtualBox... I'm not sure what visual problem you're having though... when I made a virtual machine I had graphics right away. It's not like you need to download emulator plugins or anything... it should just work. Could you post a screenshot of the error message?
Also, try updating your graphics drivers and/or getting a different Windows 8 ISO, that might solve the problem.

It simply says "FATAL: No bootable medium found! System halted.". But I'm currently updating my drivers...

You not only need to create a virtual machine, you also need to download a Windows 8 .iso file and feed it to the emulator. It sounds like you're trying to start a VM without the iso. If you are using an iso, it's broken - download another one.

Actually I'm seeking for Windows 7. Aw man, I can only find the trial ISOs, which are free for 30 days and then you need a registration code.

Her problem is related to the Sims 2, yours is related to the Metro Rayman Jungle Run.

Rayman Jungle Run is only available for Android OS, iOS and Windows Phone/8. I wonder if you actually found fake files with malicious software.

Get a regular Windows 7 iso and install that. You should be able to skip entering the registration code during setup - Windows will say "OK, but you'll need to enter it later!". Then, Google "RemoveWAT" - a tool that removes the Windows Activation Technology. Download it, run it, and you're done. Worked just fine on one of our Windows 7 PCs.
I used it on the regular OS, not on a virtual machine... but I think it'll work.

Whoops, you are correct, Saerleiya, I have committed an atrocious mistake.
A thousand apologies, GN, I shall rectify this immediately.

Well, okay then. But first I want to know if there's a solution to this error message I got:
