D3D8.dll error using Big Fish Games
This error started happening about 4 months ago. I downloaded many games on Big Fish site and each of them has continued up to this point. The specific error I get is "incorrect version of the file d3d8.dll, is missing or is damaged. I understand that this file is inherent in DirectX 8, but I'm running Vista Ultimate with DirectX 10. Not all games are affected, and has no rhyme or reason as to why. Big fish customer help has no idea. I hope that there is a patch, fix, or specific update of Vista that can solve this problem.
What you do, are made gambling a right-click, choose Properties, choose compatibility, choose "run this program in compatibility mode for" and choose Windows XP Service Pack 2. See if it works for you.

"[White] has stopped working" when using Big Fish Games
I've had Big Fish Games on my computer for over a year now and it has always worked well, but recently, when I downloaded games and tried to open them via the games Manager, I get a message that says "[White] has stopped working". There is no error code or the name of the program, just a space empty. Windows is trying to find a solution then is to say that he manages. The games does not open and I end up having to delete them. I tried to re - download but it does not work. I also tried looking at permissions for games using Microsoft various 'fix' programs, but no problem is found. Can anyone help?

Cannot delete games using the Panel configuration or Big Fish Games Manager
After a game that I'm not going to buy, I'm trying to remove it with Big Fish Games Manager, but he has not worked, then I go to control panel, programs, highlight the game, uninstall. The two methods are not working, they could remove a game once out of five times. I get a message, wait for the last item is removed. Usually I turn my Dell/Vista 32 Bit MS Office Small Business 2007, so I can start over the removal of these games. Big Fish response is to go to the control panel.

When trying to play big fish games I get only a very small screen. It will not open in full screen. I tried to run mode compatible xp and turn off windows 7 areo. But then games does not open.
Help, please.
Thank you.Hello Heatherbp.
It's probably because games are running in low resolution. There are a few things you could do on your screen and specific games.
First would be to change the resolution, in which the games are running, this is usually found in the video options. However, these options are not all games.
The second option will depend on your monitor, if you use a desktop display it will likely options to stretch the image to fill the screen. Even a laptop usually has something similar, although it can be controlled by software so it will not be controls on the front of the screen. The documentation that came with your laptop should see him explain how do that Paul Smith - MVP Windows Desktop Experience for... I crawled off NNTP - for now. Detachment Aldershot, United Kingdom.
