Fallout 3 PC is playable on Windows 7 in compatibility mode?

The Windows 7 Compatibility Center lists Fallout 3 as being incompatible with Windows 7. It will not work in vanilla Windows 7 or Windows 7 even with the compatibility mode Vista/XP on what it means?

Bingiton,
If you haven't already done so, then browse the thread that Hordie posted.  It doesn't have a lot of discussion on FO3 getting to work on Windows 7.  Officially since the Bethesda site, FO3 is not listed as compatible with Windows 7, but there are many people who work on Windows 7.  You can also check this thread.

  • Try to install Indiana Jones and the infernal Machine, Windows (8 / ME) compatibility mode does not

    I try to install Indian Jones and the Doomsday Machine on my computer.
    I tried using the compatibility mode for windows 98 / ME, but it does not work. When I run the program splash arrives, but when I click on install it closes then nothing happens. There are no errors.
    I am running Windows 7 64 bit.
    Also I install the original CD, and it has worked before in older computers (running Win 98 of course).
    Any help would be appreciated.

    The game should run fine under Win7 64 bit. The problem is that the installer is only 16 bit and is no longer supported in Windows. Just use a different Setup program. Try www.markusegger.at. I'm running the Doomsday Machine, Alliance Xwing, Xwing v's Tiefighter, and Grim fandango all on 64 bit Win7 all using custom Setup programs.

    I also used the original X-wing, Tie-fighter and fate of Atlantis via Dosbox.

  • For Windows 7 XP compatibility mode?

    In looking for information on the issue of whether the version of Windows 7's Home Premium would be appropriate for my laptop, I came across this quote on this site: «Home Premium always a compatibility mode that allows to launch programs XP.» What does that mean? What's not mean? For example, what happens if I try to run an older version of SPSS, a statistical software?

    Most of the applications that were designed for Windows 2000 or Windows XP will always properly run on all editions of Windows 7, including Home Premium. Some applications check the version number of the operating system and will fail to run if it finds an unexpected number of version, Windows 7 has so a compatibility mode that allows these types of programs to run correctly.

    There is also another option of compatibility oriented informatics professionals and business users called "Windows XP Mode," which is essentially a fully licensed copy of Windows XP Professional running inside a virtual machine and is only available for users of Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Enterprise and Windows 7 Ultimate.

    Windows XP Mode is intended mainly for companies who have designed their own internal software that is targeted specifically for a version of the software - an excellent example of this is a web app that only works in Internet Explorer 6 (which is available with Windows XP, but not with Windows 7).

  • The minute of Silence - will not work on Windows 7 in compatibility mode

    I just installed The Moment of Silence after not getting round to install in on my old XP laptop. It will run, citing that it needs to be played on a version from a version of Windows up to XP - compatibility does not work.

    I searched other forums that suggest that it is a problem with starforce drivers, but they do not appear to be installed on my computer.

    Is it possible to get this game to work on Windows 7 or should I give up?

    Hello

    Thanks for the reply.

    As you mentioned, you have Windows 7 Home Premium installed, the suggestion to install Windows XP mode won't help.
    However, you can contact the game manufacturer and check if they released the updates for the game work on Windows 7.

    Hope the helps of information.

  • Visioneer OneTouch 8700 USB Scanner Driver for Windows XP SP1 installed SP 2 compatibility mode - does not

    My machine is upgraded from XP SP2 to Windows 7. Support was interrupted by the manufacturer scanner after the pilot XP SP1.   Update of Windows in my system is always sur-installe updates automatically.   The scanner driver has been downloaded from the MFRS. ' site and installed in my computer Windows 7 in "compatibility mode for XP SP2. The scanner icon in my system tray.   To make a physical connection to my system, I get error that it can not be connected or cannot be configured.   I have two USB ports of work attached to the Mo (Chinese-"Weibu") and two USB PCI card is compatible with XP and earlier versions (as shown on the box, no mention of Windows 7).   I tried all these ports, always the scanner does not connect to my system.   In addition, my device manager under USB controllers, shows the exclamation marks in yellow triangles against two elements of the same name: "VIA Rev 5 or later USB Universal Host Controller.   I uninstalled these 2 elements and restarted my system several times, without success.   At each reboot, the yellow marks disappear but soon reappear.  But the scanner worked perfectly fine in my old XP SP 2 system before moving on to Windows 7 and before installing the USB PCI card.

    Is there a solution to this problem up the old USB devices and running in the Windows 7 environment?   (I have a very old IBM PC Camera too that works well in my old XP system, but not yet tried in the current system, even if the driver has been installed).

    If finally I am not able to use the scanner under Windows 7, I reluctantly get Windows XP reinstalled on another drive and boot into it just to be able to use the scanner which is functioning perfectly.

    I am a person of 78 years and enjoy using and experimenting with my PC, which has become an addiction for me.

    Thank you.

    You can buy a copy of XP that would probably cost more to replace the scanner and now is not the right time to install XP anyway.

    Your webcam is a lost cause. Compatibility mode has been designed to work for older programs, and Microsoft does not recommend to use it to install the device drivers. I have no idea why some here suggest a possibility...

    Francisco,

    You could simply stop the Microsoft Essentials if it's getting in the way.

    Prevent the Microsoft Antimalware Service starts automatically

    If you cannot find the software under the name mentioned in the article, locate the service called Windows Defender.

    The same rule applies: set the service to manual start or disable the service.

    =========================================================================

    Opinions differ on the question of whether Microsoft Essentials / Defender should indeed be removed or If disabling services is sufficient.

    Pouvez Avast! Pro co-exist with MS Security Essentials?

    My 8.1 or OS systems, Windows Defender has been disabled (together) - no problems with Avast first.

    =========================================================================

    For your peace of mind, you may contact Avast and ask their opinion with reserve.

    I was not able to find an answer in help

    Unless you write your own drivers for XP and using the Windows Driver Foundation Service to help you debug, you can disable the WDF Service.  It will be one less point to start your system and will not not just sitting there working day and night with nothing to do.

    On some systems, if WDF is activated, you can begin to see some errors of svchost.exe like this:

    Application error: the instruction at "0x7c91b21a" referenced memory at "0x00000010". Memory could not be "written".

    The best solution for this problem is: disable the WDF Service.

  • Programs running in Compatibility Mode (Windows 98) does not work (or more)

    For years, I have been (re-) installation file SETUP.exe (Epson status monitor of 1998) in Compatible Mode on a regular basis.  I right click on the file SETUP.exe, then I push properties-> compatibility-> Mode Compatible and complete under Windows 98/Windows Me.  Sometimes I run the file SETUP.exe in Windows 2000 mode also, never a problem.

    However, recently, I used DLLArchive and now the sweet Epson no longer works.  Resettlement does not either, as it must be installed in Compatible Mode and that no longer works.  In addition, run the file SETUP.exe in any Mode Compatible (Win95, 98, Me, NT, 2000) no longer works, even in non-compliant.

    I still get the same error:

    "To install EPSON Status Monitor 2, you have Windows95, NT3.1 or NT 4.0"

    While SETUP.exe is clearly compatible Win95/98.

    Earlier today, I couldn't use the Compatibility Assistant programs, whenever I had a "marscore.dll is missing" error when opening start-> Help and Support.  This problem is now solved: help and Support, and then the program compatibility Wizard work fine (I think).

    Any suggestions how to solve the compatibility problem?

    How can I check what DLL files are needed?
