Can not play the games?

Recently I tried to play Left 4 Dead 2 in my laptop with Windows7 as operating system. However, after installation, when I run the game. He says impossible to check DLLs. font. Launcher DLL failed. Is this a problem with Windows7? My brother tried the same game in his laptop computer to Windows XP, it works normally. How can I fix this if there is failure of Windows7. If this is not the case, can you please help me solve this problem...

Hi Bigwill17,

You can also contact the manufacturer of the game for her.

Method 1: Try to install in compatibility mode and check.

1. open the program compatibility problems by clicking on the Start button, then Control Panel.
2. in the search box, type troubleshooting, and then click Troubleshooting. Under programs, click on run programs for previous versions of Windows.

If the method above did not resolve your problem, then you can install windows XP on a virtual machine. Then you can install this XP virtual game and mark.

  • Can not play the game of Mahjong MJWIN on Windows 7

    I have Windows Vista on my laptop. I have MJWIN Mahjong transferred to a floppy disk 3 1/2 "on my USB key, on a computer in local library Win XB or Win 7. Successfully, I opened and played the game of the stick on the library computer to verify that it worked. Got home and plugged into my laptop which then displays only some files and without their .exe or .tis or other suffixes. 3 - letter.  A box of* appeared saying that Windows could not open the files. The 2 options have been no help. I was able to play this game even from the memory stick, a couple of years, when I got this computer, but since I had it cleaned out a bunch of virus approximately a year later (that has accumulated me over a period quite unbeknownst) I can't play the game more than the stick. The game was also removed from the computer during the cleanup, but not because of the virus removal.  Viruses were not in the stick or on the diskette. What should I do to play the game? What files can I convert (like the kind of dialog suggested*)? Although I shouldn't really need to because as I said earlier, I could play the stick when I bought the camera, and when I down load at the time of the stick.  I can't download this time of the stick, just play the stick.

    Hello

    1. who is the creator of the game Mahjong?
    2. from which site did you download this game?
    3. were you able to play these games on vista?
    4 "Windows could not open the file" which is the full and exact error message?

    Please answer these questions that might help us helping you better.

    May be that file extensions are hidden, try to view it and check.

    Thank you very much!

    Hello Teo1569.

    I suggest you play the games in your native screen resolution 1366 x 768.  If you must use lower resolutions for performance and that you want to fill the screen, you will need to check with the documentation for your computer on how to fill the screen, this isn't something run by Windows, but rather the view and as such all computers are different.  Most of the screens usually have parameters like the Stretch, appearance or Fill.
