There are a number of toyz, food/water bowls and treats available. Cross-breeding can create different types of petz, called 'Mixed Breeds'. Adult petz can then breed and have kittens or puppies of their own in Petz 3, Petz 4, and Petz 5 (this was not available in the first two games). After around three days (real time) the petz become adults. Once they have found a pet they like the user can adopt and name the new puppy or kitten. The player starts at the Adoption Center, where they may choose a dog or cat to adopt of a breed and gender of their choosing. Petz has sold over 3 million copies worldwide, and appeals to both children and adults.

First released before Tamagotchi, they were among the first 3D characters, rendered in a non-photorealistic cartoon style. Petz were the world's first virtual pets, and were shown to people to be revolutionary.

Petz (Dogz and Catz) is a series of games dating back to 1995, in which the player can adopt, raise, care for and breed their own virtual pets. Compare with the hexed Dane and Alley Cat on the right.

If you still donвЂ™t have sound, delete the file вЂњsmapi.dllвЂќ and try running the game again. To correct this problem, delete the file and run Petz 5 again.

No sounds will be played.вЂќДЄ conflict between Windows 2000 or Windows XP and Petz 5 can result in an error that causes no sound. If all of these are updated, edit your screen resolution.Д®rror: вЂњSound did not initialize.

Petz 5 hosts drivers#

The first step to solve this issue is to update your graphic drivers and Direct X. This is most often caused by your Graphic Drivers/DirectX being out of date or due to incompatible screen resolutions. Petz appear to be made of squares or triangles instead of balls, like the tabby pictured below. This may cause the rest of your screen to appear oddly colored, but your petz program should run fine and the rest of your computer will be restored after you close Petz.

Check the box that says вЂњError message saying the program needs to run in 256 colorsвЂќ then click Next.

Select вЂњThe program opens but doesnвЂ™t display correctlyвЂќ.

This will affect your entire computer, so you can either leave it set and accept the changes in your other programs, or you can switch it any time you want to run Petz.

Select the вЂResolutionвЂ™ drop-down menu and choose 1024 x 768, then select Apply or OK.

You can experiement with different screen sizes, but 1024 x 768 is the one I found works the best for me. If the game appears squished or distorted, you may need to adjust your computerвЂ™s resolution.

Click Start the program (allow any permissions it requires).

Select Windows XP (Service Pack 3), then next.

Select вЂњThe program worked in earlier versions of Windows but wonвЂ™t install or run now вЂњ.

exe file, click вЂњCompatibility ProblemsвЂќ or вЂњTroubleshoot CompatabilityвЂќ The directions are the same for the installation or for the program. You may need to use the compatability options to install or to run the program after it is installed. If youвЂ™ve already installed and run the program and need to rescue your files, see the instructions on the File Rescue page. When you run the initial installation, select C:/Games/Petz 5 or C:/Petz 5/ as the destination (you will have to enter this, if it doesnвЂ™t exist the installation will create it for you). If you want to be able to access the game files, you will need to install into C:/, not the default Program Files. When Petz is installed into Program Files Windows Vista, 7, and 8 makes the Adopted Petz and PetzPix folders invisible. Unless you particularly donвЂ™t want PetzA, I strongly recommend installing it. While not required, installing Sherlock SoftwareвЂs program PetzA may solve issues by auto-updating for you. Petz 5 runs on all versions of Windows newer than 3.1, though some minor modifications may need to be made during or after installation for compatability.
