Doom 3, C & C Generals and C & C Tiberian Sun do not run or play in Windows 7 64 bit

Three of my favorite games, C & C Generals, C & C Tiberian Sun and Doom 3 will not run or play in Windows 7 64 bit.  Last week, I built a new computer with Intel i7 860, GA P55A UDP4 Mobo, Gigabyte ATI Radeon HD5770, 4 GB ram, LCD Samsung B2350 with Direct X 11 and Windows 7 64-bit.

Installed the 3 games. C & C Generals does not work, a little box came on the bar saying 'a serious error has occurred' tasks.  I've uninstalled it. Then installed C & C Tib Sun, the error code says "live X-please ensure you have direct X 9 or a later version, also make sure that your video card meets the req min etc.  I have the last card ATI graphics and direct X 11, then why the direct X error message?  Tried Compatibility Mode set reading under Win XP sp2, the game still will not play, and even direct X error message came.

Installed in Doom 3. When I tried to play it, it goes in the first screen of doom, but with the main playing surface in the lower right corner makes it unplayable because you can't see the OK or Cancel buttons.  A run yet compatibility mode and still the same problem.

Why is Windows 7 64 bit as a big missed with old games?  Please help, how can I get these 3 games to play on my win7 64 bit computer?

Thanks for your advice.

I should have done a little more research before asking my question, my apologies for wasting time anyones.  The C & C Tiberium Wars game works now on my Win7 64 bit computer but only after I downloaded the 263 MB C & C3 update patch.  Also, after you perform the procedure in compatibility mode, the game runs and plays OK.  With Doom3, all I had to do was check the compatibility re fonts to display box, because I was running Win7 in large fonts/icons.  Doom3 now works OK.  As I uninstalled it C & C Generals, I have not bothered with it. I guess in some cases of incompatibility, the answer is to install the latest update for the game /patch, and then run the compatibility mode.

    These sounds have emerged in June after a Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop had an update of windows explore 10 and a grandson slammed the close laptop case.

  • Can I upgrade Windows Vista 32-bit to Windows Vista 64 - Bit and preserve everything?

    I have a computer with Windows Vista 32 - Bit OS.  I have also 4 GB of RAM, but as the OS is 32-bit, he acknowledges that 3 out of 4 GB.  So, my question is, can I upgrade to a version 64 bit Vista and preserve files and programs, or what I have to buy a copy of Windows Vista 64-bit?

    Thank you

    Hello.

    No.; You cannot switch from 32-bit to 64-bit.

    It must be done with a new installation of the 64-bit operating system.

    There has never been a way to upgrade.

    You should backup your data, copy it into the 64 bit OS and reinstall all your programs

    Microsoft sells more than Vista.

    And before you buy Windows 7:

    Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

    If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

  • Computers provided with Windows 7 64-bit, and we need Windows 7 32 bit

    Our company bought 5 IdeaCentre K300 computers from a big blue store. Computers came with W7 64-bit Home Premium preinstalled.

We have several products to launch from the part of field and will not work with the 64-bit operating system and running in XP mode just hard does not work (for these applications). The person who bought computers said the computers contain the 64-bit and 32-bit W7 Home Premium and we can switch to the 32-bit version using the OneKey Recovery utility and then run the Windows Anytime Upgrade. I have one of the computer booted several times and you press the F2 key when the Lenovo logo appeared and have only one option, the 64-bit version.

  • Windows 7 64 - bit, GA-970-a-DS3P, slow SATA 3 HD and USB 2.0 also issues

    Let me start this way:

    Material:

    Motherboard: GA-970-a-DS3P

    (1) WD Caviar Black HD: 3 amendments of 1 TB each. One for the OS, one for applications and one for Swap. (Don't ask how I ended up with this config: it's a long story of upgrade).

    (2) graph GTX 550 Ti card.

    (3) AMD Phenom x 4 965 BE: all 4 cores unlocked. DO NOT overclocked.

    (4) RAM DDr3 8 GB (2 sticks)

    (5) rest include 1 SATA DVD drive, Cooler Master monstrous fins CPU cooler (which cuts my fingers twice) and a power supply 650W (Cooler Master)

    Software:

    (1) Windows 7 64 bit ultimate (new installation)

    (2) MS Office 2010

    (3) Acronis True Image 2012

    (4) cloud of Creative adobe: Adobe Acrobat Pro XI

    The ORGANIC parameters:

    a value of 1) all SATA AHCI.

    (2) active xHCI. (no idea)

    (3) active eHCI. (no idea)

    Drivers:

    1st install Gigabyte SATA AHCI and USB 3.0 drivers drivers. All keyboard & mouse drivers are from Gigabyte.

    2nd configuration (after that I discovered that it was slow death): DriverMax provided SATA 3.0 AHCI drivers.

    Windows start up the GUI login screen in 40 to 43 seconds after the POST.  (Used to make less than 30 seconds before I installed MS Office).

    Problem and diagnoses that I made:

    (1) primary HD is extremely slow to respond. It takes just an inordinate amount of time to respond to the high activity of HD. (Like when I try to copy a large file on the C drive or read from drive C).

    (2) I used Perfmon.exe to monitor disk queue length and % disk time Avg. Length of queue disk on drive C starts from 0.117 and amounts to 24,26 within 20 minutes once I started. % disk time is high at 118.98 or even above.

    (3) surprisingly a USB 3.0 flash drive has reported a speed of 118 MB/s on a copy of a file of 3.4 GB D USB 3.0 drive

    (4) USB 2.0 reported avg 28 MB per second, which was expected.

    (5) after that I removed the drivers from Gigabyte SATA, I used one of Drivermax (don't know what it was).  Yes, I remove the old drivers, rebooted and then installed drivers drivermax.

    (6) disk queue length dropped to 0.28 on average when copying to and from the drive C and even under heavy operations.

    (7) Windows experience index stays at 5.9 for HD primary.

    (8) Avg speed of drive C is now about 128 to 132 MB/second (seriously?)

    (9) I don't find the exclamation points or question marks in Device Manager.

    (10) now, since yesterday, the speed has dropped again down (no updated driver, but the critical Windows updates made). Avg disk queue length again increased slowly to about 24.23.

    (11) what I did a chkdsk c: R, but could not find any errors of surface HD.

    (12) I am past controller cables and plugged in the different plugs (which cut on sharp edges of the graphics card and the fins of the cooler: why HW manufacturers can soften the edges: they will lose money?).

    (13) USB 2.0 speed has dropped drastically to 7,28 MB/second copy about 1 GB of multiple files of 12 MB each.

    Am at the end of my rope on this.

    Can I have a very problematic motherboard? Have I not dumb drivers? Or I did something wrong here?

    Any help to fix this problem of speed appreciated.

    P.S. The system is also catchy and fast with start-up less than 45 seconds, even times with connected devices. Opening apps are fast and load system (also long that I do not touch the C drive) are faster.

    Thanks in advance

    The driver is available on the Adobe Web site will not be installed.

    Where and how can I get a PostScript printer driver for my Windows 7 64 bit computer?

    I'm under 64-bit Windows 8. There are a few options:

    1. in my case, I use Adobe Creative Suite CS3 as well. It comes with Adobe Acrobat 8.0, which must be upgraded to version 8.1.3 or about 64-bit support. This, however, works OK with PageMaker 7.0.

    2. There is a method using a printer driver called "imagesetter MS Publisher' which is actually Postscript and will do the job. You will need to do some research on it: I remember using this method when installing PM 7.0 under the preview release. I also noticed that there is a 'PS Microsoft class driver"Windows 8. Maybe it's worth a try.

    3. try a third free PDF writer. I have recommended Nitro Reader for some customers.

    I keep only PageMaker to open the old client files, and anything but trivial changes, I migrate files to InDesign (which opens the MP files date back as far as PM6). You can be a better buy InDesign (if only an older version) and do the same thing - it is a much better program and PM is blowing out of the water.
