• My Eternity Bigfish game Mahjong towers work properly with Windows Vista. It does not work with Windows 7.

  I click on the game icon and the game window and page layouts start charging. But the process of loading stops at halfway and I get the following message: "Mahjong Towers Eternity has encountered a problem. Please make sure that you have the latest version of the game. I have the only version of the game. In addition, once I have delete the message I can't delete the game window unless I'm using the Task Manager.

  Hi martham

  Thanks for posting in the Microsoft answers site!

  It is a standard error message coded in the game that occurs when MTE there is a mistake, for all sorts of reasons. It is a game crash, not a drive failure. You don't need to upgrade to a new version of the game. If you have downloaded a lot of tilesets and backgrounds, clean those out of your game directory. And if you have a large number of layouts in your Favorites list, delete the 'my' file that is located in your game directory

  In addition, check the compatibility of the game with Windows 7 from the link below:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/default.aspx

  Try to install the game in compatibility mode and check if this solves the problem.

• Download/Download speed of control with windows vista

  I've searched for a solution to control my download speed on my system. I live in a House with other roommates and need to know if there is a way with windows vista to restrict my network speed and download. I looked at the software and routers, routers, or way out of my price range and offers much more, then I would need a home network. Software requires another computer to stay on at all times, working as a router/firewall software. If there is some hidden in windows settings, this would solve my problem.

  Thanks, Skyday

  Hi Skyday_BG,

  Thanks for posting your question on the Forums of Windows Vista.

  There is no option to set the download speed on a particular computer in Windows Vista. There are 3 third party applications which allows you to limit the download speed of Windows Vista.

  WARNING OF THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE

  Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  First thing to do is to check its Vista compatibility at the link above, and if not to see what patches/solutions are available from its manufacturer...

  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-compatibility-mode/

  If this is not Vista compatible, read the info on the link above.
  It works for some programs, but not all.

  This applies to software programs, NOT hardware drivers.

  If it's Vista compatible > uninstall it > Re-download/save to your desktop > right click on the setup.exe > run as admin.

  See you soon.
