House Of The Dead 1 - how to run on 64bit (Win8.1 in particular)

| Situation | Best fix | |-----------|-----------| | Have original CD & drive | Insert disc + run as admin + compatibility mode | | Have CD but no drive | Make ISO → mount with Windows built‑in tool | | No CD at all | No‑CD patch (safest) or pre‑patched repack | | Registry error after install | Edit CDDrive registry key |
