• Playing old games on (or in) Windows 7

  Is anyway to play older games which worked on Windows 95, 98, in or around Wondows 7?

  Thank you!!

  It is also a broad topic to give an appropriate response. You should restrict the question down to specific games that interest you. Each game has its own problems, and where you can find a patch to make the game compatible Windows 7 is very rare (some sites like the good old games, http://www.gog.com, offer copies remastered their favorites that are compatible - but which does not apply to all games you may prefer and is not free).

  I have try the .exe running in all sorts of compatibility mode as well as manually from the install in compatibility mode. all I get is the same error each time. I ran the esfile auditor and lists some invalid files, I guess it's because they are cracked to work without the cd files. I downloaded the game 3 times now.

  My drivers are all upward to date, research on the internet I can't find a lot of information, a lot of links goto the forums on agecommunity.com but they are no longer works.

• Cannot access any site to play online games

  Hi to anyone who can help me with this.  I have Windows XP and downloaded IE 8 some time ago.  Never had any problems until about two weeks ago.  Every time I have access to MSN GAMES, GAMES YAHOO, 'what' that is the games and try to play online, my computer completely freezes... I mean completely and it hangs forever.  Not even doing Ctrl + alt + delete to close the program.  I have to manually turn off the computer and boot from fees.  I get no error message, nothing... just a little noise beep (not like a pop-up), then the big freeze.  I tried to play on the web games on my second computer and the same thing is happening EXCEPT, I have now the message on IE shutting and something to do with the DEP (Data Execution Prevention).  I checked the Advanced tab in the system but can not change a thing.  It's so frustrating because it just started to happen.  I even uninstalled and reinstalled IE 8, went through all the procedures I can think and basically nothing changes.  Can someone please help?  Thank you.

  For the purposes of troubleshooting, I suggest to test websites on another browser to see if the problem is directly related to something in Internet Explorer, or elsewhere.

  This gives a test:

  1. go on http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/
  2. click on download, click on "Run" and follow the instructions to install
  3. after installation, restart the system and try to access these Web sites

• Not able to play the game Metro 2033 on Windows Vista-based computer.

  I just installed the game Metro 2033 on my Vista system that uses a 1080 screen.  In fact, I have two identical screens.

  The game requires activation Steam and Steam normally will attempt to update the program rather than simply enable it during installation.  This leaves a person in the dark as to what happens during the installation.

  It turns out, I use a 3G modem that Steam refuses to support their network of Bit Torrent, so download speed for an update of a concert is around 12 kb/s or 8 hours to make the point on a program that has not yet installed.

  After work, I was quite surprised to find that the program would not go on Steam.  He then took a few hours to find out that there is a solution, that I could load the game by running the executable file that had been installed in the directory Steam for Metro 2033.

  Unfortunately Metro2033, when started this default way a unknown screen resolution.  Thus when the game is started from the Steam directory nested, one gets a message "out of range" on the display of 1080 and nothing can be seen.

  Short of launching the game out, I tried the game again, to my great joy, the second run displays a safe mode issue and I ran it in safe mode.  It is quite an exciting game and I played it all night.  However, I had also contacted support original THQ regarding installation problem/solution.

  Then I fell asleep.  The PC was on.

  The next day, I played the 2003 Metro game again, but I entered in some difficult areas of the game, and I had to reload the saved game.  After awhile, I opted to exit the program.  Later, I started the program, but this time I inadvertently clicked on the Metro2033 icon who had installed Steam.   In my solution, I had pasted a link to the directory of Steam under the original icon and had pressed the wrong button.

  Of course, the first thing I saw, after playing the game for 12 hours, was "out of range".  I opted to return to the office...

  ... However I couldn't come back on the Vista desktop.  I have a 7000, and even Microsoft Entertainment keyboard by pressing the buttons of Windows or Media center wouldn't let me come back to the office.

  The day before, I needed to do this that I've experienced to workaround to start getting and I noticed that the only way I could get on the desktop to run the Task Manager to kill the out of range on my screen message has been to press the Media Center button.

  Once the Media Center menu on breaking the subway 2003 menu I could then enter the office and use the Task Manager.

  However, the next day when I inadvertently started the STEAM version, and again, the screen is become black and says 'Out of Range', I found that my system was stuck in this loop.  No way to get in the Manager of tasks at all, not even with the Media center button on my keyboard.

  Now the background of my question.  When I was forced to start my system again, I noticed the normal BIOS screen and the bar of Vista with Vista is loading, then the familiar sound of Vista boot, but now NO SCREEN at all on startup!  Now, something had inserted a driver in my Vista start which forced my display say "Out of Range" from the start of the desktop of Vista and Vista computer has not yet noticed this.  Normally, I would think that they claim that the screen resolution is wrong and put it on, instead, nothing else than the out of range message rigid or flexible boots.

  Original title: can someone tell me what happened here? Metro2033 and steam game.

  I checked by plugging my second monitor.   The system has Safe Mode startup and I was able to do a restore of the system from the previous day to evening to return to the office.   However, I am quite confused as to what happened.  How the Metro 2033 problem "out of range" migrate to Windows startup by running an update of Steam?

  I use the latest service pack for Vista.

  
  

  It seems that the STEAM snuck in an update and then everything worked fine.
