if your having issues try this! The game would run for me but the display would turn into multiple grayscale boxes during cutscenes & riding. This fixed it!

Got this bad boy to play with no problems. Follow these instructions, see if it helps!
1. Download and unzip.
2. Create a new folder on your desktop.
3. Mount the ISO and with file explorer open, right-click on the Mounted BRC CD and click copy.
4. Paste that into the new folder on your desktop.
5. In the pasted folder, right-click on the SETUP.exe and go to Properties.
6. In the Compatibility tab, check the box to run it in compatibility mode for Windows XP Service Pack 2.
7. Click OK, then right-click the SETUP.exe and run as Administrator.

Chances are you’re get the Windows pop-up to start the installation, but nothing will happen. If that’s the case, read on. If the set-up runs fine, go to Step 8 and skip the next paragraph.

After you run the SETUP.exe as Administrator, open task manager. You should see something like Setup32 or something in the Background Processes in the Processes tab. Go over to the Details tab, find that Setup32 process and right-click. Select Analyze Wait Chain. The set-up is the first option, and anything under it is prevent it from continuing. Close that. The set-up should instantly start.

8. Start the SETUP, let it install the game.
9. Once installed, go to the first folder, not your copied folder. You want the OG Unzipped folder. Find the Barbie Riding Club application in there, right click, and go to properties.
10. Go to compatibility mode, have it run in Winodws XP Service Pack 2.
11. Turn on reduced color mode to the 8-bit setting and click OK to save your settings.
12. Using that same application in the original unzipped folder (Not your copied folder!) Open the game and run it.
13. When you get to the part where you enter your name, don’t enter anything. For some reason, entering anything will crash the game. Just click the stable button.

Baddaboom. That’s exactly what I did and I experienced 0 issues. Everything funcitons correctly, no weird grey boxes, no sideways against the screen nonsense. Just me and my nostalgia from 26 years ago for an hour.

Hope this helps someone!

I have changed display settings and compatibility mode, but anytime riding is 1st person the display switches to four small black and white videos like another person said. I haven't been able to find a work around.

For anyone getting the CD Rom error, once extracted, go into the folder and run SETUP Application. I had to follow a prompt from Microsoft to download something to allow use of the 16bit installer. Again, I am still getting issues in first person, but this will at least allow you to launch and play!
