Compatibility__ poor game Windows 7

Win7 is a great OS, but as to its compatibility with commercial games – old and new – it has broken. I know it's a relatively new BONE, she and was notdesigned to have that problem, but it becomes really frustrating to get excited about a game only find on the WCC is not compatible (20 to 40%, perhaps). I even heard a game actually causing win7 crash on reboot after installation.

What is happening and who is dragging its feet?

The best way is that is you are facing any problem, then contact the story game seller, they could discuss question or give some update or the hotfix.

If your Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate or enterprise, you can install Windows XP Mode and install your game in there.

Also, you can use compatibility option in the Action Center to solve compatibility problems.

    How to play games windows 95 under windows 7. I think I have the 64 bit version. I've tried troubleshooting for older programs tool, but nothing does not open. Can I install a second operating system?. The game I want to play is the 25th anniversary of star trek

    Hi alecfss,

    Well, I don't think that it is possible to play games Windows 95 to Windows 7.

    1. When you mention "install a second operating system", are you referring to the installation of a program, something of the stature of the virtual XP 95 games?

    In this case, download and install Virtual XP , from this link and run Windows 95 games that is better equipped to manage the games for windows 95/98.

    2 Alternatively, are you referring to the installation of an operating system to dual boot?

    See also the article below to see which edition of Windows 7, since you are not sure which edition you are using.

  • Black game window

    I played bejeweled2 delux on my Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit since launch, years number last week, he went to the black of the screen in the game window, on slecting the mode to use. I can't get out of the game if in the window mode if fullscreen must bomputer reboot hard to quit the game. I cam to remove drive with Vista boot and it will play without problem on the same computer. I can't believe this is linked to a recent windows update.

    In fact Pop Cap responded with a solution to this problem that I had already tried the system restore with no luck. They recommended to roll back my driver to a previous version, because they knew that problems with the history current ATI drivers update showed that Windows had updated my driver to the current version, I selected a pilot with good results and the restoration of the performance of the game.

  • Information of the game in the games window

    The game window is a quite interesting feature of Vista. And since the service patch 2 my customizations are no longer to be "forgotten" which resulted with me actually using the game window.

    One good thing about the game window is how it automatically organizes and groups the genre-based games. For example, the game Oblivion gets nicely nestled in the category "role play". Warcraft 3 finds its place in the category 'strategy '. Windows does this automatically. It is useful.

    However, I can't find any way to change how Vista organized these games, in which case I feel that Vista has not grouped around a game properly. For example, Quake 3 is in the category called "Unspecified." I guess maybe because it is a longer game that Vista cannot find information about it to well rank it. Is it possible that I can classify it? I tried to drag and drop for Quake 3 icon for the category 'Action', but that does not work.

    A more recent title is not correctly classify himself is a role called Drakensang game. Drakensang is currently in the category 'not specified '. I want to reclassify as well but I can't seem to find a way to do it.

    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Hi CrazyAccessProgrammer,

    When you install games for Windows on Windows Vista, shortcuts to the games are located in the Games Explorer folder. The Games Explorer folder is the central location for all the games on the computer. In the Games Explorer folder, you can find and open the games that are installed on the computer, download the game information and keep track of the games you've played lately.

    Note: New games generally automatically appear in the Games Explorer folder. However, some earlier games may not appear automatically in the folder of games. Explorer If the game does not automatically appear in the Games Explorer folder, drag the executable file of the game in the Games Explorer folder. The game executable file is located in the folder where you installed the game.

    NOTE: Microsoft games will be classified in different categories by default. However the games non-Microsoft will in the category unspecified.

    Hope this information is useful.
    Let me know if it worked.
    All the best!

    Thank you, and in what concerns:

  • Pogo games window is cut only in Firefox

    I tried the suggestions and in all cases, the playroom at any game pogo does not show full screen. I had used pogo for 2 years with no problems.
    Normally the window opens but the screen seems cut about 1 "on the right side and 1" from the bottom. I tried to uninstall and reinstall Firefox and did not help. I updated and checked all shockwave and java, adobe, and everything is up-to-date - still no help.
    I tried the same page of pogo in Internet Explorer and it worked perfectly, so it is not my computer. I'm not a fan of IE and certainly don't want to start using this browser because there is a bug - but can someone understand something? No matter what? I even tried the pogo suggestions: screen resolution and that did not help either.

    Please help - thanks.

  • Games, Windows XP Professional

    I am using Windows XP Professional with wireless internet from a host computer. Whenever I play a game on facebook, it disconnects me from the internet after a few minutes of play. He used to disconnect after 20 minutes of play, but now it's all a few minutes. I have no problem watching videos or play music from the internet. I checked my router and adapter, and they seem to work fine. I have also looked at my antivirus software and that you have selected a game profile to make sure that the updates would not interfere with my game. I'd appreciate any help I can get. Thank you.

    PROBLEM HAS BEEN RESOLVED. It seems that my neighbors wireless was interfering with mine. I changed the settings and now I'm back to play games without disconnection.
