Big Fish Games and windows 7 errors. __

I get an error "unable to crΘer D3D device.  so I can't play any of my games.  someone knows how to fix this?

A lot of older games may not use DirectX version 11, which is included in Windows 7, but you can install DirectX 9 c to run alongside v11 and don't suffer no ill effects!  You can download it here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=2da43d38-db71-4c1b-bc6a-9b6652cd92a3&displaylang=en

  • Macromedia projector says he does not work for Big Fish Games and games won't go full size

    Original title: Macromedia projector says it does not work!  Help!

    I need the macromedia projector to see Big Fish Games strategy guides. It is said that it does not work! Also my games won't go to full size but stay in the smallest size. I don't know when in the last 2 weeks, what happened. I was in the hosptial and came home, computer to update and I've had problems since.  Downloaded DirectX as recommended in the reading of other problems, but it did not help. Would appreciate ANY help. This grandmother is not super computer but have got along very well for years even with new programs. Thank you!

    Hello

    1. is the specific question of Bigfish games? Other games play fine?

    Macromedia Projector is a utility that includes a Visual Flash presentation in a stand-alone EXE file, so you can view the images on a PC without the Flash Player installed.

    Method 1:

    You can try to run the game in Windows XP compatibility mode and check if this solves the problem.

    To install the program in Windows XP compatibility mode, see the link below:

    Make older programs in this version of Windows

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows

    Method 2:

    Make sure the application you are trying to run is trustworthy and that you have downloaded or installed from a source valid.

    a. click the Start button, right click on "computer", and then select properties from the list.

    b. click on 'system protection', click on the "Advanced" tab and click the settings button in the performance section, then click the Data Execution Prevention tab.

    c. There should be two selections, and "Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select" must be selected. Click on the Add button and navigate to the folder that your game/app for (usually located in the folder program files). Click on the .exe file in the folder that launches the application.

    d. run the game and check if it works well.

    You can also change the resolution of the games are run in and check if you get the full screen. This is usually found in the video options.  However, these options are not all games.

  • Windows 7 and big fish games

    When trying to play big fish games I get only a very small screen.  It will not open in full screen.  I tried to run mode compatible xp and turn off windows 7 areo.  But then games does not open.
    Help, please.
    Thank you.

    Hello Heatherbp.

    It's probably because games are running in low resolution.  There are a few things you could do on your screen and specific games.

    First would be to change the resolution, in which the games are running, this is usually found in the video options.  However, these options are not all games.

    The second option will depend on your monitor, if you use a desktop display it will likely options to stretch the image to fill the screen.  Even a laptop usually has something similar, although it can be controlled by software so it will not be controls on the front of the screen.  The documentation that came with your laptop should see him explain how do that Paul Smith - MVP Windows Desktop Experience for...

  • D3D8.dll error using Big Fish Games

    This error started happening about 4 months ago.  I downloaded many games on Big Fish site and each of them has continued up to this point.  The specific error I get is "incorrect version of the file d3d8.dll, is missing or is damaged.  I understand that this file is inherent in DirectX 8, but I'm running Vista Ultimate with DirectX 10.  Not all games are affected, and has no rhyme or reason as to why.  Big fish customer help has no idea.  I hope that there is a patch, fix, or specific update of Vista that can solve this problem.

    What you do, are made gambling a right-click, choose Properties, choose compatibility, choose "run this program in compatibility mode for" and choose Windows XP Service Pack 2.  See if it works for you.

    My research, I find that it is a known problem with big fish games. I also see that some users were able to solve this problem and play games by disabling the antivirus program on their computer. You can try the same thing and check.
    Reference:
    Disable the anti-virus software
    Note: Disable antivirus and firewall, virus or malware can get into the system. After this troubleshooting step, select the security software.

  • Big fish on my windows vista computer games

    I have a program called big fish games. After I played each game I uninstall the game from my computer.

    When I check my files roaming these games appear after you uninstall them. My question is is it safe to delete these files of roaming from big fish games that I uninstalled? I have checked with big fish games, but could not get an answer to my question. Could someone help me with this question.

    Thank you

    If you are sure that these folders belongs to the game that you have already uninstalled, you can remove them completely. When you uninstall a program, sometimes some instances of the program such as the folder will remain in the PC and you can remove them manually.

  • "[White] has stopped working" when using Big Fish Games

    I've had Big Fish Games on my computer for over a year now and it has always worked well, but recently, when I downloaded games and tried to open them via the games Manager, I get a message that says "[White] has stopped working".  There is no error code or the name of the program, just a space empty.  Windows is trying to find a solution then is to say that he manages.  The games does not open and I end up having to delete them.  I tried to re - download but it does not work. I also tried looking at permissions for games using Microsoft various 'fix' programs, but no problem is found.  Can anyone help?
