I thought that Baldies was a DOS game?

I'd try DOSBox. It does work in Windows 7, right?

There is a dosversion and a windows version of Baldies.
If I remember swell:
-Dosversion is dos only.
-Windows version is Windows with dosversion included. (Same as Rayman Gold)

However, most rips of the winversion don't include the dosversion, contrary to the original.

The version of this is not compatible with the version of windows you're running.
Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or a x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher

that comes up when i try to use the DOSbox and then run the game? it is a different game i have tryed but its a old game still il try it on baldies but whether it works im not sure.
