Fallout 3 compatibility problem!

Why the Fallout 3 is not compatible with Windows 7? Is there a solution for this? The game works but has MAJOR video glitches, making it almost impossible to play. Any solution?

Jackblackclone,
According to the Windows 7 Compatibility Center Fallout 3 is not compatible with Windows 7.  You should contact the creator of games to see if they will update the game for Windows 7.  Now you can be in a position to run in compatibility mode , but that is not guaranteed to work.  Also, be sure to update your drivers for hardware (especially video and sound) with the latest drivers for Windows 7.

  • HP Pavilion HPE h8 - 1380t CTO: compatibility problems, ask questions about knitting-by-turn or possible motherboard replacement.

    I recently baught an EVGA GTX 1060, as this 630 became quite long in the tooth and I thought that I would try to future proof myself a little as the rest of my components seem to be working very well.  However, I can't get the map to work correctly on this particular computer.  Oddly enough, I can get past that screen startup finally after several short beeps and let it sit, but it takes fowever to reach the office and clearly is not executed properly that the resolution is wobbly and software from Nvidia cannot even detect the card.  I guess I had got this far because of the onboard graphics of some sort, but AFAIK this motherboard which lacks.

    I know that the card works fine as I tested it in my other Tower, so I struggled to find a solution.  So far, it seems that the problem is most likely the motherboard, as HP does not have a new BIOS for it since the beginning of 2013 (which I did go ahead and install it).  If true, I find myself with either two options, it seems that the ditch system, entirely or find a motherboard that works with all my old components.  I'd rather not have to empty this workaholic, when all other parts work great, if it is not a work around I would like to know if there are motherboards I could pass that would work with the rest of my components.  Normally I would not bother with even apply for, but I hear a lot of chatter on HP PCs pre-constructed having compatibility problems.

    I bought this computer there is in the case of four years that I would be able to update as I do with any other PC, but I didn't know at the time that HP has a tendency to not update the BIOS settings for anything beyond a year which I admit is incredibly frustrating.  What is done is done however, and I want to make this work without having to clear the entire system.

    @Faver, welcome to the forum.

    Your problem is the BIOS.  However, it is because the 1060 GTX requires UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard/Legacy BIOS.  HP didn't start using UEFI until mid-October 2012.  The BIOS may not be upgraded in the UEFI.  The last cards only not for UEFI were the GTX 660/670.

    MSI made cards with a switch that can be used with a Legacy BIOS or UEFI.  If you decide to go this way, you must contact their Technical Support to help them choose the best card for your system.

    The upgrade of the motherboard can be a problem.  HP has taken advice their specifications.  Therefore, they are not necessarily the same as the commercial versions.  Please make sure that the holes in the motherboard matches the accessory in the case.  In addition, some members have had problems with the connectors in the connections case before, for example, the power button.

  • Compatibility problem with Vista and iTunes

    I downloaded iTunes 9 on my Tobisha laptop Satellite last night and put about 2.5 GB of music on it. I didn't upload the music from the internet. I used MP3s, I had for a few years.

    When I went to boot up the laptop this morning the loading process took some time, but it never loaded to the login screen. I just see the bottom of MicroSoft. Is there a compatibility problem with Vista and iTunes? Maybe I put too much music on my laptop?

    Boot in safe mode and delete iTunes and all the music I downloaded would solve the problem? Or it is less simple than that?

    Don't know where to direct this question if any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    iTunes is compatible with Vista and there should not be any problem.
    Yesterday, I installed iTunes 9 on my U400 and everything happened correctly.
    If your laptop can not boot Vista correctly, then you should try the repair feature.

    Turn on the computer and press F8. Now you will see the advanced boot menu.
    Now, you have many choices.

    As a first step, you should try the option called: last good known Configuration (Advanced)

    If this will not help and the Vista will not start then try the option called repair your computer. This option displays a list of system recovery tools, you can use to repair startup problems, run diagnostics, or restore your system.

    If that does not help, then you will need to retrieve the unit using the Toshiba recovery disc or HARD drive recovery.

    What version of Windows you are migrating towards?

    Check the compatibility of each program by accessing the Web site of the Publisher. In addition, many companies, such as Adobe, have their own forums which will give experiences of other users to use a particular version of a program on a particular version of Windows.

    If you upgrade to Windows 7 or Windows 8, you can use the compatibility of Microsoft here for a guide Center:

    (I personally prefer to check sites and forums of the manufacturer however)

    Compatibility PlayStation3 game with Logitech G25 and G27 racing wheels

    This table is a sample of a few PS3 popular games released in the United States. If your favorite game is not on this list, the game can still support your Logitech wheel. Contact the developer of your favorite game for information more up-to-date on the wheel support.

    Steering wheel general troubleshooting of game consoles (Wii, PS, Xbox, etc.)

    If my wheel does not work on my game console (Wii, PlayStation, Xbox, etc.), what should I check before contacting support?

    On a console, there are two things to check if a wheel does not work in a particular game:

    NOTE: If you have a Driving Force GT, and most of the wheel works with the exception of the special as the PS button buttons and Horn, see article 10768 Knowledge Base. If you have a steering wheel Driving Force, and that you are trying to play a game that is inherited from the Playstation (PS1/PS2) on a PS3 console, see article 10767 Knowledge Base.

    Installation of equipment:

    To check your hardware configuration

    1. Turn off your game console
    2. Disconnect the power adapter of the wheel.
    3. If you have a wheel that mounts to a desktop, check the AC adapter cable is firmly connected. A loose connection in the steering wheel unit to be recognized.
    4. Check the working of the power source. Some wall sockets can be controlled by a wall switch. If in doubt, try to plug another device into the wall to check the functioning of the power.
    5. Check that the USB cable has not plucked or separations in the thread.

    In-game support:

    To see if the game is compatible:

    1. Logitech.com is trying to keep a list of the supported games on the product page of each wheel. If your game is on this list, then it is certainly supported. If this isn't the case, you may need to contact the developer of the game.
    2. If your game is listed as supported on Logitech.com, but you can't use your wheel again, your game or console may require an update. It is recommended to connect your console to the internet, and then start the game in question. If your console is connected to the internet, most of the games automatically checks a status update. Try to complete each game, in addition to your console, if necessary.
    3. Try a different USB port. Some games have specific requests of what port should be connected to a wheel.

    Additional information:

    If you try these steps and your drive still does not work, contact Customer Service. The representative may ask you to repeat, or perform some variants, these steps to check the activity of the wheel. Perform these steps with the technician can resolve your case, we recommend following the steps requested by the technician.

    I was able to get the game running in Windows 7 and Vista.

    Vista I deleted the shortcut on the desktop, as I had it already installed before finding the compatibility issue.  When I installed Windows 7 I chose not to install the shortcut - according to a thread I had followed.

    The most difficult thing to solve the problem was to find the patch. I can not even find the page it is on, but when I typed

  • Halo 2 for Windows Vista compatibility problems?

    I have problems of execution of Halo 2 for Vista after installing it on my Windows 7 installation.  Whenever I start it, it immediately goes to "No answer" as soon as it loads.  I tried to start with the compatibility options for all versions of Vista (plain, sp1, and sp2) but nothing works.  It seems to freeze at the part where it loads in the Games for Windows Live components.  I saw elsewhere that people have problems with this and that by removing completely all Games for Windows games and executives charge then reinstall them with Halo 2 first worked.  This has not worked for me, and after some further experimentation, I decided to check if it was a hardware problem, so I did a clean install of Vista and had no problem if he started.  All my drivers are up to date, but I can't find any more away.  Any suggestions?
