Display problem of links 2003 with Vista Home Premium 64-bit

I just got a new office to replace my 6 1/2 years and am all migrant to the course. The new computer
CyberPowerPC is: Intel I7 3.07 ghz, 6 GB triple channel ram, dual 500 GB HDs and Sapphire ATI HD 4870 1 video.
I have migrated almost anything and almost everything works, including some games of the 1990s (original Unreal Tournament, etc.)
A game that is driving my crazy is Links 2003 (v1.05). When I run the game, on the start screen, it says "3D Graphics".
by ATI Radeon HD 4800 ". However, when I go into the graphics settings, the adapter box is empty. Using the drop down.
I select my ATI Radeon 4800 Series card.  I can get the error message: "your ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series is not responding.
Requirements minimum links. The software rendering engine will be used instead.  WHAT?  My old system uses an ATI X 1650
video card that is not 1/4th the graphic power of my new card and it works fine.  I tried the latest version of the video driver
from ATI (catalyst v9.6), which is what works on the old computer. I've also restored to v9.3, that does not work.
I know it must be possible to run Links 2003 on Vista, because it is running on my laptop HP DV - 9550 T lan party, which is also
Vista Home Premium SP2 running. The HP laptop with a Nvidia 8600 M GS video chipset, once again, no where near as
powerful that my new card 1 GB ATI HD 4870.  What is going on?  Is there a registry hack that I can do to force the Links 2003
to use my new card?  I contacted ATI/AMD and Sapphire, and they are both as baffled as I.  Help, please!
cooncat at gmail point com

I found a resolution.  There was a patch for this game released last year, June 2008. It's
version 1.07.  After you apply the patch, the game works perfectly... in fact, better than
never before, because there are new features.  Patch is available at:

Thanks for your attention

  • Office 2003 Pro with Vista Home Premium 64-bit

    Office seems to work very well on my new desktop Quad core i7, Vista Home Premium 64-bit - except when I try to access clip art in Powerpoint, or any help function - it simply blocks the request. Machine not crushed, but I have to END TASK - and I said this in Excel and Powerpoint three times each. But all the normal functions of work. What is the problem?

    These links are useless - I already searched the corner OFFICE, and here, no one seems ready to post or admit that there could be a problem with VISTA at all. That's why I posted my question here, thinking that the problem is probably with the 64-bit version of Vista.

    "These links are of no use."

    These Office discussion groups have a very good record, with a lot of dedicated people who help for FREE.

  • Menu toolbar problem and start for windows vista Home premium 64-bit

    I've recently been tweaking and accidentally got rid of my explorer.exe file, (I think that I sent to my trash and maybe deleted it?). Once I realized that I just typed as a new task and it reappeared.  The problem I have is that since then I had no toolbar or start menu.  I tried to access it through the control panel that does not work; I tried Ctrl Esc, which does not work, I tried everything I can think of? What's weird, that's all my desktop icons are great, and for some reason if I have Ghost click my mouse in the lower right of the screen I open random programs usually on my toolbar, I can even drag on my desk.  I tried to find common ground, if my toolbar is there somewhere?, do to slide it back on my screen, but it was done without success.  Another thing is when I start my computer in safe mode, my toolbar appears with my Start menu icon?  Anyone know what may be the problem?  I am running windows vista family premium. operating system: 64-bit

  • Trying to open the files Windows 3.1 with Vista Home Premium 32 bit

    I am trying to open the files of an old computer running Windows 3.1. the files include MS Publisher, MS Works, encyclopedia Compton, & several other w/3.1 compatible programs. Y at - it a program or an update to Vista that can be used to open these files? What I try to open it & save programs on a version of Windows 3.1 & Vista before using on Vista?

  • Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit of Validation. Can't I just buy a no serial online?

    Last year I had a Dell XPS with Vista Home Premium 64-bit pre-installed. Since then, I've changed over the entire computer with the exception of the still installed with Vista boot drive. Now, the system tells me the software is invalid, and it must be validated.

    I realize as OEM OS' are is not supported, but why can't I just buy a new serial of MS no? Does this mean I have to buy Windows 7 since Vista isn't the case to buy more?

    Thank you

    -Mario

    Hello Mario,

    I suggest that you contact Dell. Software OEMS is pre-activated and assistance is the responsibility of the OEM - in your Dell case. Explain to them what happened and they should be able to help.

    By 'Validate', I assume you mean 'enable '. Have you actually tried activating the software to see if it will turn on? If you have tried to enable you get a message saying that the "product key is already in use"? If so, take a look at this link from my Web site: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/product_key_already_in_use.htm

    You may also like to telephone line (free in most countries) activation by following the instructions in the article above. Explain to them your problem and they may general counsel.

    There is no product keys, they must be purchased with physical media, that is, the Vista DVD. Don't try to buy one on EBay or places like that because they are usually pirated copies and the product key would have been blocked by Microsoft, so you will be in the same boat as you are now.

    This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

  • Recent problem with very slow internet browsing on all browsers Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit

    Separated from this thread.

    Hi all I'm having the same issues as Theresa in the thread above split. I have Vista Home Premium 32 bit service Pack 2 with all the installed updates (automatically done!).  Within 3 months, this PC at home that was formerly an excellent navigation device became very slow when you browse using IE, Firefox or Chrome. It takes 30 to 50 seconds to load any web page (Yahoo, eBay, etc.). I followed all the instructions suggested to Theresa in SafeMode by Bill Smithers. Resulted in nothing other than a few cookies and Wetherbug I killed. I also run McAfee total protection and Spybot S & D every 3 days with nothing found.

    I have reset my browsers to the specifications of the factory without change.

    Comcast is my internet provider high speed and my speedtest returns 65 - 75 MB/s download and 11 Mbit/s upload very regularly. I connect directly to the bridge. I had Comcast out and they swapped unity Arris of a unit of Cisco beefier but that changes nothing. Other devices on my network domestic perform very well and do not have this problem.

    When I browse a site the CPU spikes up to 88% use in 45 seconds and is stable at 50% usage 1.7 GB memory.

    The only thing I can infer is at this time that something happened to the operating system during automatic updates or some other setting has been changed.  I could use any help or suggestions you may have! Otherwise, I love this OS and have not had any problems. Thanks, Dhoffa

    Try please start your computer in safe mode and restore your operating system to an earlier time (before the update). Maybe this will help.
