Computer game problems! Help

I bought a computer game for my laptop and it says it is only compatible up to Windows XP, but I know that in Vista, you are supposed to be able to run a program as if it is running an earlier version. Then I tried it 100 times and I also used the compatibility program, and it won't work at all! I get an error 1607, and he also says data error cyclic usage or something close to that. In any case, I really want to play my game. Help?

Install the software to a new folder that you created. Once thru, R.click on it, properties, configured to run

in XP compatibility. If the option does not exist, it would be not compatible vista but does not

not just seems, like most xp and vista software. In addition, you may need to open the folder, or open the

Properties of the game cd, locate the .exe or installation file, R.click on it, properties, compatibility

tab, run in xp mode.

    Hello, Dorian,

    If you have downloaded in Internet Explorer, go to tools, click View downloads, and you'll see the directory where it has been downloaded. Not visible? Look down, in the bottom left of the word 'options', click on this and it will display the current default folder for downloads, but after writing it down, you can change it to any folder of your choice (mine is C:\__Downloads - always watch first!).

    If you use another browser, go to this toolbar for browsers and search for the download folder and display it. You should find similar settings for the other locations.

    Let me know if this solves the problem for you.

    Kind regards

  • How can I stop there being a bunch of blurry color horizontally across my screen on computer games?

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Ideas: Hello, ALL my computer games have lines on them, kind of like a band Blur in the middle of the screen. and besides, when I start the computer, the symbol of microsoft has vertical dark lines through it. I was able to play all these games in the past (and microsoft symbol is not used to have dark lines through it) and I get no error message whatsoever. I don't know much about computers and it would be helpful if you explained what I have to do.  have you encountered this problem before? because I searched for a long time on the internet to find someone who has had the same problems!  my computer is a microsoft windows xp service pack 3 home addition, my system manufacturer is Dell and it's a 2002 version.  Thank you

    Hi Asmoses,

    This problem may occur if the display drivers are corrupt or there is a problem with the monitor. I suggest to uninstall it completely from your computer display drivers and install the latest drivers thereafter by accessing the computer manufacturer's website and check if it helps.

    Also to uninstall the drivers from Device Manager. During the uninstallation, the device in the Device Manager, make sure that you follow the steps below:

    1. click on start.

    2 access control panel > system > hardware > Device Manager.

    3. open Device Manager and expand the graphics card.

    4. Select the graphics card and uninstall the device.

    During the uninstallation of the brand of the device, of course, you place a check mark against 'delete the driver for this device '.

    You can also try to update the drivers for your graphics card in the Device Manager and check if it helps. Access the link below and follow the steps to update the drivers.

    If you have another monitor, you can try to connect the computer and check if it displays the same way and post back the result.

    I hope this helps. Let us know the results.

    Thank you and best regards,

  • Windows Vista and older computer games

    Will be a Windows vista compatibility for Windows 95/98/2000 computer game?

    Hello lordst3ph3n,

    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Community Forum.

    This a Yes/No/maybe answer.  Most of the software, games included, works with vista, and has very few questions, as appropriate.   However, some are not entirely compatible.  To check if your games is comapatible with Vista please visit the compatibility web site:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/

    If the game is he listed as compatible, you're all set.  If it is listed as not compatible, you will either need to contact the manufacturer of the game for all possible patches or it will be inconsistent and you will not be able to play at all.  If the game is not listed either, then it simply means that he hsaa was not tested yet and it could very well be compatible.  In this case, I would try to install / them and see if it works.  Alternatively, you can try to run the exeutable for the game in one of the compatibility modes listed in the properties of the executable file of the game.

    Thank you

  • WRT160N V3 games problems! need help!

    OK, here's our problem, I just moved about 6 weeks ago and have since purchased a wrt160n router, my brother and I can lose countless hours playing COD4 on our ps3 (2 on our network both wireless) we often have trouble connecting when playing @ simultaneously. He seems to get along with him immediately online, but when I log in game, I have to wait anywhere between 5 to 20 minutes, because it now says 'download settings', we thought it was a problem of the internet from comcast, but now I hear about port forwarding? I was power cycling think it was a bad internet connection and the strange thing is going online with the ps3 it gets first right line but the other must wait 5 to 20 minutes? someone has an idea? I can't find the help I need or if I can't find an article on this subject, it does not specify if the fix works for more than 1 PS3?

    Our facility:

    Cable modem

    Router WRT160n

    1 computer (wired connection)

    1 laptop (wireless)

    and 2 Playstation 3 (both wireless)

    You have to open the Ports to your PS3 on your router. If this isn't the case, then I think it is perhaps because of this, you have to deal with this problem.

    Open an Internet Explorer browser on your computer (desktop) wired page. In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press ENTER... Let the empty user name & password use admin lowercase...

    This settings are for your 1st PS3.

    On the Configuration tab, change MTU size in 1452 and click on save settings...

    Once you return to the game to the top page, click the Security tab and uncheck block anonymous Internet requests and click on save settings...

    Click on the tab "Games and Applications" and then click the sub-tab "Port Range Forwarding"...

    (1) on the first line in the box, type Application in ABC, in the start box, type 80 and type of box in 80, leave the Protocol as and under type 192.168.1.20 ip address and check the box to enable...

    (2) on the second line in the box, type Application in DEF, in the start box, type in 443 and the type of box in 443, leave the Protocol as and under type 192.168.1.20 ip address and check the box to enable...

    (3) on line 3 in box from Application to the IAD, in the start box, type type in 5223 and type of box in 5223, leave the Protocol as and under type 192.168.1.20 ip address and check the box to enable...

    (4) on the fourth line in Application area type in JKL, in the start box, type in 3478 and 3479 end box type, leave the Protocol as and under type 192.168.1.20 ip address and check the box to enable...

    (5) on the fifth line of type Application in MNO, in the start box, box type in 3658 and type of box in 3658, leave the Protocol as and under type 192.168.1.20 ip address and check the box to enable...

    (6) on the sixth row in the box, type Application in PQR, in the start box, type 10070 to 10080 end box type, leave the Protocol as and under type 192.168.1.20 ip address and check the enable box and click on save settings

    (7) now assign IP on the ip address of your PlayStation:-192.168.1.20, subnet mask:-255.255.255.0 default gateway:-192.168.1.1...

    (8) also assign addresses dns on the primary dns of PlayStation:-4.2.2.2... Secondary dns:-192.168.1.1

    (9) turn off your modem, router and PlayStation... Wait a minute...

    (10) connect the power supply to the modem first, wait another minute and plug the router power cable, wait another minute, and turn on the PlayStation and test...

    For you 2 PS3, follow this setting.

    When you connect to the router configuration page, click on 'Application and Gaming' and then click on the "DMZ" sub-tab below, click on 'Activate' and in the IP Source address, type the IP address: 192.168.1.50 and clik on save settings.

    Now you need to assign a static IP address on your 2nd PS3. 192.168.1.50 subnet mask IP address:-255.255.255.0 default gateway:-192.168.1.1... Primary dns:-4.2.2.2... Secondary dns:-192.168.1.1...

    Turn off your modem, router and PlayStation... Wait a minute...

    Now try to connect your PS3 to your wireless network and try to play this game and see how his work.
