Cannot run Quake 4 on windows 7, even when its installed.

not serious. I just installed quake 4 on my computer laptop windows 7. It is upscale. but all of a sudden whenever I try to run it with the disk in it, it says please insert disc. or if I switch compatibility mode in game to vista or Windows 95, it works but the game does not display it will say something like incompatible with screen color and windows problem has changed Basic. It's weird because when I installed it before on my computer with windows 7, it worked perfectly. But now I just reinstalled it because of an update which glitched the precedent and im trying to run. does anyone have a solution?

Hi jordan19,.

·        It will prompt you to insert the CD when you play the game?

Quake 4 is compatible with Windows 7. You can check the link below:http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/Details.aspx?type=Software&p=Quake%204&v=Activision&uid=&pf=0&pi=0&s=Quake%204&os=32-bit

Make sure that the system requirements for the game with your computer matches. You can visit the Web site of the manufacturer for the same thing.

Change the Windows basic theme and check if this can help, check out the link on how to change the theme:change the theme to improve performance: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Change-the-theme-to-improve-performance

  • Cannot run exe files in Windows 7

    When trying to run an exe, error: Windows cannot drop 'xyz.exe '. Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again. What should do?

    Hi Saeed,

    Were there any changes made on the computer before the show?

    This issue would have occurred as a result of a third-party program on a virus. Follow these methods to solve the problem:

    Method 1:

    Important: this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

    For more information about how to back up the registry, see the link:

    Back up the registry

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/back-up-the-registry

    See the article and try to follow the steps to fix the problem:

    When you run an .exe on a Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7 computer file, the file can start another program

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/950505/en-us

    Method 2:

    I also suggest you use the Microsoft Safety Scanner to remove viruses, spyware and other malicious software:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note: the Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again. The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  • Cannot run system utils in command prompt even if high in mode

    Hello

    Recently, I tried (and continued to try) to run chkdsk on a hard drive, to get the message "access denied because you don't have enough privileges." You have to invoke this utility running in elevated mode. "However, the command line is in high mode.

    The exact command was 'chkdsk E:/r.

    However, chkdsk runs on boot, OS, windows, master drive in the usual elevated command prompt. Run the command chkdsk command with its parameters from the command prompt was not a solution.

    What should I do to activate myself run chkdsk on another drive? UAC is disabled and I have combed through policy to activate my account administrator full. The OS is Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.

    In many ways, all leading to a prompt titled "Administrator: command prompt".

    The first is to simply open the command prompt. Being in the Administrators group and have disabled UAC makes high command prompt by default. The second was to do a right click and "Run as Administrator", and the third was to open the Run dialog box and enter 'cmd', who was then created with administrator privileges.

    However, the issue seems to have been resolved, and I am at a loss as to how or why. I don't know if it's something I've done or by chance, but at the same time I was interacting with the SYSTEM account to see if a guest has led to it would be able to run the chkdsk utility. It was, but then later I was also able to run the utility from the elevation prompt.

  • Cannot run any form of convenience store/even Viewer with Windows 7

    Original title: problems with any form of convenience store / observer of events in Windows 7

    Hi, lately I had problems (as the title indicates current) with any form of troubleshooting as well as Event Viewer on the laptop of my father he made the end of 2013.

    I tried researching the issue, but couldn't find answers to the problem, however, was not able to find a solution for this particular combination of questions.

    I ran the SFC system several times, he can't find anything nor does it fix anything. I also tried to run the Microsoft Fix It utilities, but those who do run either.

    Each troubleshooting tool does the following:

    As you can see there the error 0x800736B1 code, but when I tried this search, the only solutions had to do with the programs that deal with photos / images.

    Then I tried to research that the context was limited, but none of the errors found during the search has the same error code.

    So the question with Event Viewer, is that it does the following:

    I tried all the solutions I could find for this as well with zero improvement.

    If I could get help to these questions and to get this sorted out for my dad, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
