Game - the Lord of the RINGS battle for Middle-Earth is not compatible with Windows 7
I have a desktop with Windows Vista and a laptop with Windows7. My grandson wants to play the Lord of the RINGS battle for the Middle Earth, released in 2004, that works with Windows XP. What should I do? Can I still buy Windows XP and, if so, can also be installed on one of my computers? I don't know much about computers, especially if there are two operating systems on a single computer.
I suggest you look at this:
Make older programs in this version of Windows
* and * I want to add that, since he is a game - compatibility mode peut/may not work. The game itself may have some requirements will not require this compatibility mode (I think versions of DirectX, etc.).
Like XP until now under the name of purchase - it is difficult to locate a legitimate copy - but they are there. Although - dual-boot to play a single game, especially if "don't know much about computers", could end up being less expensive (in time and possibly costs if things went wrong) purchases some used/refurbiushed computer/laptop that comes with Windows XP as operating system. (If it's something you really want to continue - I've seen portable that would probably run this game with Windows XP included and 3 months warranty 1 year for $249 + shipping/TX and more lately - from TigerDirect (sort price low to high, get at least 1 GB of memory, 40 and up to drive hard, etc.)) I just think that the penalty do not worth the personal cost of time/money * if * the thing to address compatibility mode above does not work.)

Hi all, I am interested in my Sony Vaio AR41L (under Vista 32 bit SP2) upgrade to Windows 7, but when I run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, it tells me that, for the graphics card, NVIDIA GeForce 8400 M GT, the driver "installed for this device is not compatible with Windows 7.
Apparently, NVIDIA is not a solution and sent people to Sony, and Sony say that they have not updated the drivers for Windows 7 and that we do not know when they expect to do...
All known and solved this problem? Any suggestions would be very helpful!
Thanks in advance.

In the Windows 7 Compatibility Center it is said that the Sims 2 is not compatible with Windows 7. However, it is said that an extension kit is compatible. This means that it will work if I install the extension?
original title: The Sims 2 compatibilityI had no problem running a Sims 2 expanded on a Windows 7 (x 64)System. I don't remember trying to run the Sims 2; at the moment I havehas obtained a Windows 7 system, I got all the extensions and Packs of Stuff, thenI installed them all in one session.I recommend installing the program and download the application of allupdates to the core of the program, and then do the same for each subsequentexpansion or Stuff Pack, in the order they were released.

I can't send messages, whatsapp for group discussions and I feel really lost. my friends can't receive my message and I am only able to send individual text messages. I think that its because of the version update of ios which is not compatible with my iphone 5 s. is a solution to this problem?
I have the same problem, started this morning.
I'm in iOS 9.1, using the iPhone 6. Don't know what happened, but I have also opened a disturbance with Whatsapp support as well.
A focus group work, group chat messages cannot be delivered. Individual messages are working properly. I tried to remove and reinstall the application, remove the discussion group and recreate, all has not helped.
A lack of ideas.

I want to install the Commander of the force star wars on my new PC, but says it is not compatible with windows 64-bit. I have try on windows XP mode and it tells me that I need to connect a hardware 3D device. I really love the game and I want to use it again.
Any old copy of Windows XP that could be installed in the host system? If you do not, it should be available at a modest price of an online seller. Perhaps (I'm not too), even an old Windows 98 TO work. The game (using a 3D engine) will not work under pure DOS, so you need a Windows environment so that it can work. Just FYI: If you get this old classic to run, new issues may arise. Known are the "mss32.dll" runtime error (you may need to replace this file with the newer version of SW:KOTOR 1) and the issue of video cutscenes (the games uses an obsolete video codec, Smacker - either you find an old *.) DLLS for it or have you convert movies in a modern format).
In conclusion: get old games to run on software/hardware modern (it is not only a problem of BONE) is one of the most fascinating and rewarding challenges to a real fan. But do not expect it will not be easy "out of the box" (or simply insert a CD).

I was told that Premiere Pro is not compatible with Windows 10. Is this true and if so, I need to stop my subscription NOW. If I think it's the shit please keep my subscription but please send me an email of confirmation that it is compatible with windows 10. I had a hard time with some people emptying my pockets trying to sell me different windows on different hard drives in the same computer, which until now has completely messed up my (both high-end) computer.
Please help me as much as you can, but especially with programs that were in the windows all the time until recently Windows 10.
