Games - the Sims 3 Deluxe running on Windows 7?

Can Sims 3 Deluxe to run on Windows 7?

Also all the Myst games work on Windows 7? I heard that only the 10th Anniversary Collection Myst and Myst 4 will run on Windows 7.   I feel that a lot of games does not say on the back of their box of which they run on Windows 7. Many games say they are running on Windows XP and Windows Vista (epecially the newer games). Help, please! Hope someone can answer my questions.

Putting the issue in the context of games as well.

If the game is compatible Vista, it should work.

  • After playing the game the Sims 2, impossible to shut down the computer, get black screen

    Hi all

    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, and I recently installed the Sims 2 DVD Edition. The game itself works very well. He's not planting or lag or cause my computer is turned off. I can walk much and create characters; what I noticed is that some of the sound effects play, which is minimal.
    However, after playing the game and I'm going to shut my computer down, the screen just goes black and the computer stays on. The processor will run nothing will work. The computer just stays, but the screen remains black. He doesn't even go to the "shutting down" screen or anything. Straight black. I let it stay like that for 15 minutes just to see if maybe, it was just to take some time, but the computer still shuts.
    It normally stops if I do not play Sims 2.
    Original title: Sims 2 causing my computer does not shut down properly?
    I think I have Directx 11, because when I installed my graphics (ATI Raedon 7770) it updated automatically to that. I play other games like Skyrim here, which does not cause this weird close the thing. I installed the patch from EA Games for the game itself, as well.
    Help would be appreciated, because I'd really like to be able to play Sims 2! If one of the expansion packs resolves that it be so. Anything to solve this problem!
    Thank you.

  • Blue screen and stop during the game the sims 3 - BCCode 116

    Before that I got sims 3, I got a new graphics card - NVidia Geforce 9500gt 1 GB which I installed the latest graphics for drivers.

    My specs are:

    AMD Athlon 64 x 2 dual core 5000 + 2.60 ghz processor
    2 GB of Ram
    Hard drives 320 GB x 2 (1 is external) - I have a lot of free space, this one is not even half full

    power supply: 350W (minimum for 9500gt I know)

    32 bit Vista Home premium

    Right, when I play usually after 10 minutes, it crashes, sometimes just black screen but also sometimes with a blue screen with a prompt to close. I lowered the graphics settings in the game, it still happens. I uninstalled the sims 3, the drivers, and then installed the new driver then the sims 3, no change.

    BCCode: 116

    BCP1: 87E74510

    I know that bbcode 116 is a graphics driver issue but I have the last! It seems to be other people with the same problem especially with the sims 3, but no answers. I was afraid that my food wasn't enough, but this error is not suggesting that this is? I've heard rumors, it's a bug of the game, but not everyone has this problem.

    Please help, thanks

    I have now solved the problem after that talk with pny card - update of the bios manufacturer worked. I tried manually first and failed, but then found that my motherboard driver disks came with a program update that did it for me and I managed to play an hour of sims 3 without worries.

  • Dialog box of the file in the application that is running in window 7 shows all of the UNC path

    HELP PLZ!

    We use the file dialog box to open the folder of the disk file network hard. Window XP showed the path UNC path, but when we run our application (developed in vba) on window 7, full unc path has been established instead of only last name of the folder.
    example of... UNC path \\abcd\abb\abfolder in window XP file dialog shows "abfolder" and then if we see in looking in then hierarchical set of path can be seen
    but the file in window 7 dialog box shows all the way "\\abcd\abb\abfolde" as it is...
    Please suggest if some way where we can display in the file dialog box in the window 7 same folder in UNC path that showed before in XP.
    Hi Gary,

    Gamer... need help to learn how to display shared

    Hello Talemacus.

    Everything depends on the game, most of the games have options to run in a window.  Once you've done this open a second instance of the program - assuming that it allows a second run and reduce the options for resolution as well they also well adapted to the screen, or move to a second monitor.

  • QTCore4.dll missing error during the game the sims 3

    Former title: QTCore4.dll

    recently, I tried to play my Sims3 game and got a pop up saying error QtCore4.dll is absent please re - install. I did some research on the assumption that it was a mistake of the Sims3 game. I read on some information about a lot of people receiving this error specifically.

    There are a lot of different solutions. Some sites say that I had to install this QtCore4.dll and would solve the problem. Although some people say that this worsens the problem. I decided to uninstall the game that has an alternative. Although this error always comes to the top.

    What can I do?

    Hello

     
    Qtcore4.dll belongs to EADM (Electronic Arts Download Manager) and should be in c:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\EADM directory (for 32-bit systems). If it is not there you will need to reinstall EADM (Electronic Arts Download Manager).
     
    Download new version from the link below and save it on the hard drive.
    http://eastore.EA.com/store/EA/HTML/pbPage.welcome...2caUcAAAAX&rests=1265212714560
     
     
     
    Step 1.
    You can use the programs and features to uninstall programs or to change the configuration of the program by adding or removing certain options.
    Uninstall the old EADM of programs in Control Panel and install EADM (Electronic Arts Download Manager), you just download.

    For more information on uninstalling the programs under Windows, please refer to the link below.
    Uninstall or change a program
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/uninstall-or-change-a-program
    Note: Restart the computer after uninstalling the old EADM to apply the changes.
     
    Step 2.
    Once the computer is restarted, and then install the new version of EADM that we just saved on the computer.
    See the article below on installing the programs.

  • I HAVE WINDOWS VISTA AND THE SIMS 2 ON MY COMPUTER BUT I TRIED TO INSTALL THE SIMS 3 BUT NOTHING HAPPENED! (CAN YOU BE RETURNED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!)

    I INSTALLED THE SIMS 2 DELUX, SIMS 3 PETS AND SIMS 2 APARTMENT LIFE. I GOT SIMS 3 PUT HIM IN THE HARDRIVE HE RAN, BUT THE MESSAGE GAME NEVER TO SAY IF I WANT TO RUN IT HELP! PLEASE

    P.S. I HAVE WINDOWS VISTA

    THANKS X

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site.

    Well first thing to note - if you have Windows Vista, it is a forum for Windows 7, then you might have more luck in the Vista forum.  But second, you noted that you have installed the SIMS 2 Deluxe and the Sims 2 Apartment life and the SIMS 3 pets.  There are no SIMS 3 pets yet (only SIMS 2 Pets).  So who could have thrown people.

    So now REALLY tell you putting a SIMS 3 disc in?  If so, you must install the program first and sometimes automatic execution does.  You can, however, open a Windows Explorer (press the Windows key, key with the Windows Logo on it, down and self-tapping letter E - keep the E or you'll have a whole bunch of windows to the top).

    Then go to your CD/DVD drive and double-click it.  It can start the car then run.  If not, then you can right click on the drive icon and select EXPLORER and then find the file named SETUP.  If you don't see what he, or see the files, then make sure you have a valid PC version of the game and do not have a MAC version (my kids have committed this error several times while getting the library software).

    See if none of this helps and then after return. Bob Larson Access MVP

  • Problem, reinstall the Sims 3

    My daughter had the Sims 3, high expansion pack end Loft, World Adventures expansion pack installed on this computer running Vista Basic. It uninstalled all of them when he started to crash a lot. We did a manual uninstall and you deleted all the registry keys. Now when we put the disc in the dvd player, the autorun does not start. When I try a manual install, I right click the icon of dvd in the computer, click Run and the dvd player says to put a disc in the drive and opens automatically. When I push it back in and hit and right-click Run, another window opens and the Windows Explorer crashes and the window that opens is just empty. I found all hidden files and deleted, deleted, deleted registry keys my temporary, updated files to update my dvd driver, set my DMA settings recommended Sims 3 site, and sim forums says the Directx has been authorized. I'm at the end of my rope in trying to help my daughter here.

    I can't help you as to why the will of the dvd player does not read the disc Sims 3 but I am able to offer a work around instead of installing from a cd.  What you could do is download the EA Download Manager (EA's the Sims 3 producers) and with this download and install the game on the internet.  However, this process requires an EA account that your daughter may have created when you first start the game.  It would be the same username and password to access the Sims 3 store online.   Once the EA Download Manager has been finished there should be a tab that says "Log In".  Then after that record in Manager download, it must be another label that says "Activation" on this tab it will prompt you to enter a key of an EA game the Sims 3 and expansions are.  After activation, the tab that has the name of your account, that it should start to download the game.  If it helps any I've tested this method myself as I have a copy of the Sims 3.  Hope this helps and if you need me to clarify something more or that this method is not satisfactory make me know and I will do everything I can to help others.
