Fable the Lost Chapters for XP is not compatible with Win7 - is there a way to fix it?

I just bought the XP game edition and expects a lot of fun on my new 17 in. Inspiron R with all the trimmings, only to be told that the FtLC for XP is not compatible with Win7.

The problem is that the graphics are like seeing double, literally two principals semi-molten you close them; they never completely merge, and most things, except the bottom, are very blurry.  I already have bad eyesight; I want a clean game.

I have tried to adjust the game to play in the uncluttered window, but it remains only purified until the credits have finished the race.  Then, the game returns to the full screen, wide and I think it's the wide screen that is the cause of the problem; the credits are great!

At Ms. really bring out a game duded up before Fable 4 only to have it be unplayable on pc with the newest Windows operating system?  Or is it possible to work things so the game is playable in fact and you can use a bow without guessing where is the target?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

By chance, I reinstalled the game (that I hadn't played for a long time) on Windows 7 x 64 a few weeks ago. Guess what? It works without too much fiddling.

Maybe it's that you will get a screen that says "incompatibilities with this version of Windows" every time you start (just click it away), and most likely, you will encounter an inactive 'fable.exe' process that must be completed before starting the game a second time (happens only once per Windows session). The second start focus also slowed down as the first, but after a while, the game will go up.

Things to do during the installation: run 'setup' as an administrator (do not use the 'autorun' option) with the following compatibility setttings 'XP SP3', 'disable visual themes', "Disable desktop layout" (this avoids some flickering). Start the game with the same settings. If you are given a choice of setting up your video card (the game is not identify him because it uses a completely outdated XML list of video cards caves), select "primary, no LNP. Resolution of 1024 x 768 x 32 is fine.

Note that the game dimensionnera full screen, even if your screen size is larger than 1024 x 768, but it will keep the old 4:3 picture format, you will have black borders on both sides of the screen.

  • Fable: The Lost Chapters has stopped working - problems of crash!

    G ' Day,.

    I bought Fable: The Lost Chapters about two months ago. I have Win7 Home Premium. I played the game for about 15 hours with several minor issues. (It crashed a few times, has happened once or twice) But now I am unable to act. Most of the time when I start the game and try to open my saved this game crashes immediately. Or it will allow me to play for a few minutes and then crash. Most of the time, it seems to be 'save' related. When it crashes it freezes my laptop full and have to wait for a few minutes until I'm capable of anything. My laptop is 2.5months old.
    I was Googling my off _ all day and updated my drivers, which did not work. Also, when I try the compatibility "Troubleshooting" it gives me an error: "Splash.exe" - Windows can't find Splash.exe. "Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again" I don't know what it is. I do not type anything. Anyway, please please please help. I would really like to continue my game!

    Thanks for your help. Hope that the message has been clear and not too long.

    ~~~

    TL; DR j/p lol

    Have you tried to start a new game and create a new save file? The file just may be damaged. It's funny, the MS site says that it is not compatible with 7. I had hatred that MS and have a game like this, not be compatible with 7.

    Source: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/Details.aspx?type=Software&p=Fable%3a%20The%20Lost%20Chapters&v=Microsoft&uid=&pf=0&pi=0&s=fable&os=32-bit

    If the problem persists, I might even try to reinstall the game as administrator or... XP compatibility mode, or both, if you're patient. A few users have got the game to work even if it's not compatible. For example, Maple Story runs on machines a bit, but isn't supposed to be compatible with 7.

    Good luck.

    Computer is Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. Firefox has work fine for over a year on this computer. Nothing has been changed or updated updated except Windows update indicates that it installed updates on August 19. I had computer week before because only out of town, back entrance and began August 18, but Firefox has worked that day. Does not use FF again until today. Today August 22, firefox does not start, shortcut icon changed program not there. Exe in the folder when you click Poster error message says the version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows, I am running. Exe of Firefox shows created on 20 August. I suspect the update, Windows or FF but lean towards windows, which was spent, who broke things. I noticed that IE 10 updates, updates of .NET framework and the malicious software removal tool have been installed. I tried to restart the computer, has not set. Tried to run as administrator, did not work. I don't want to uninstall FF, at least have to because of all the things I have here, bookmarks, last past passwords, etc..

    Hello

    Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files (not the profile folder, where the bookmarks are stored) and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

    Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
    3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
      • Windows:

        • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
        • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
      • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
      • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

    Please report back to see if this helped you!

    Thank you.

    Hello

    1. which edition of Windows are you using? Is - this edition is 32-bit or 64-bit?
     
     
    Given that the game is compatible with Windows 7, I suspect that the conflict can be 32-bit or 64-bit architecture.
    The link below shows the compatibility of this game with Windows 7.
     
     
    Method 1.
    We must ensure that the edition of the game must correspond with the operating system.
    If you use 64-bit in this game, you need the 64-bit Windows to install it.
    Method 2.
    If the above information matching I you recommend to start the computer in clean condition and then try to install the game.
