I have a windows 95 and I installed a game on it. When I tried to pull up the game, a box full of programs came up and it wanted me to choose. The question is, what program do I use? How do I know what program to use? Or how can I find out? It installed with no problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It is so old, it cannot be upgraded. It's my mom's and all she wants to do is play solitaire on it. Nothing major.

If you're being presented with "a box full of programs" to choose from, then that probably means that your game didn't install properly, as Windows doesn't have a clue with what application to associate the file (you clicked) with and is offering you the chance to pick one yourself, in which case you could browse to the .exe file you just installed.
The file you clicked on isn't the game, but must be a save file or other file associated with the game. How did you "pull" the game up? From a shortcut? Try opening from the original file.
How old is the game? If it's a recent one, then it may not be supported by Windows 95, which is, what, at least 12 years old?
You should really think about upgrading.

There are a lot of factors here for example: we need to know what the game is, we need to know if the game is supposed to run in DOS, we need to know if you downloaded the game or used a CD. and we need to know what is in the "box full of programs". You should most likely open the program with the extension EXE or BIN.

this would sound like a ridiculous question, yet did you verify that the recent HD replaced into formatted as a gadget stress previously you copied Win95 onto it? i do no longer see any indication of that interior the notwes you provide above. If there is not any gadget music on that stress, then it won't boot....... If that's the project, then you definately're the two gonna would desire to repartition that stress and start up returned, or get carry of something like Hiren's BootCD and manually lay down a gadget music....... sturdy luck Scots

The best thing would be to upgrade to Windows XP.
