Downloaded games won't install or won't open

I'm running Windows XP S2 and have already downloaded games and opened without any problem.  Now the file or not will download and install or it load, but the game does not - as if it has not been installed.  I checked everything I know regarding security options, etc.  Hard drive space is not a problem.

Help!

Download this virus/spyware software and if you can run it.

If you can not run it. try a clean boot and then run Security Essentials.

  • Games will not install

    Some games appears to install but does not open when I click the icon to play. How can I fix this problem so games works?  Tried to install three 3 Pop Cap games.  Mystery P.I., Amazing Adventures The Lost Tomb and pen of the wizard.  The games were purchased as a collection "Occurrences of hidden object.  Is there something I can do to get these games to work?  Do I have to download a particular driver.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello, Paulette.

    First upward, I suggest to close all programs running in the background, including those that are running in the system tray (usually in the bottom right of the screen), don't worry the sound, network and action center icons (all white colored).

    Then try the games and see if they launch, default.

    Try to run the game in compatibility mode, by clicking on their icons and then select properties from the menu and click on the Compatibility tab in the new window.  From there, choose Windows Vista (service pack) from the drop-down list.  If this does not work - try the option of Windows XP SP3.

    I need the macromedia projector to see Big Fish Games strategy guides. It is said that it does not work! Also my games won't go to full size but stay in the smallest size. I don't know when in the last 2 weeks, what happened. I was in the hosptial and came home, computer to update and I've had problems since.  Downloaded DirectX as recommended in the reading of other problems, but it did not help. Would appreciate ANY help. This grandmother is not super computer but have got along very well for years even with new programs. Thank you!

    Hello

    1. is the specific question of Bigfish games? Other games play fine?

    Macromedia Projector is a utility that includes a Visual Flash presentation in a stand-alone EXE file, so you can view the images on a PC without the Flash Player installed.

    Method 1:

    You can try to run the game in Windows XP compatibility mode and check if this solves the problem.

    To install the program in Windows XP compatibility mode, see the link below:

    Make older programs in this version of Windows

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows

    Method 2:

    Make sure the application you are trying to run is trustworthy and that you have downloaded or installed from a source valid.

    a. click the Start button, right click on "computer", and then select properties from the list.

    b. click on 'system protection', click on the "Advanced" tab and click the settings button in the performance section, then click the Data Execution Prevention tab.

    c. There should be two selections, and "Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select" must be selected. Click on the Add button and navigate to the folder that your game/app for (usually located in the folder program files). Click on the .exe file in the folder that launches the application.

    d. run the game and check if it works well.

    You can also post your query inin BigFish forums for assistance.

    You can also change the resolution of the games are run in and check if you get the full screen. This is usually found in the video options.  However, these options are not all games.

  • The use of PDFs victory 8.1 on some web pages won't open or download why?

    On some pages web Firefox won't open or download the pdf files. You use Internet Explorer on these same pages, they open fine.

    For me, they open the PDF Viewer integrated into a tab.

    You can set the pref pdfjs.disabled true on the topic: config page to disable the build-in the PDF Viewer.

  • Some game programs won't open full screen.

    I have a wide screen 22 inch and Doom3, Tiberium Sun, Armada2, etc won't open full screen. I have set myself properties to optimize, but still have the same problem.  Doom3 and Armada2 fill the screen from top to bottom, but there are black bars on the left and right of the screen.  Sun of Tiberium works well, but it is centered in the middle of the screen.  I updated to Windows 7 and this seems to be my only problems.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you.

    Some of the games probably do not support widescreen and your screen resolution.  The basic rule is defined at each game to run at the resolution of your screen.  Probably of 1920 x 1200 or 1440x900ish, or somewhere along those lines.

    Sun of Tiberium goes up to 800 x 600.  Doom 3 out of the box only also has options for 4:3 and only widescreen with some custom options (more here on the configuration of Doom 3).

    If you open the menu of the monitor should be options of fill, aspect and 1:1, or something in that sense.  Barrier will extend some image to fill the entire screen, look to stretch, but don't exchange not aspact and 1:1 ratio shows the game in any resolution that he uses.
