Games will not install

Some games appears to install but does not open when I click the icon to play. How can I fix this problem so games works?  Tried to install three 3 Pop Cap games.  Mystery P.I., Amazing Adventures The Lost Tomb and pen of the wizard.  The games were purchased as a collection "Occurrences of hidden object.  Is there something I can do to get these games to work?  Do I have to download a particular driver.  Any help would be appreciated.

Hello, Paulette.

First upward, I suggest to close all programs running in the background, including those that are running in the system tray (usually in the bottom right of the screen), don't worry the sound, network and action center icons (all white colored).

Then try the games and see if they launch, default.

Try to run the game in compatibility mode, by clicking on their icons and then select properties from the menu and click on the Compatibility tab in the new window.  From there, choose Windows Vista (service pack) from the drop-down list.  If this does not work - try the option of Windows XP SP3.

  • Why don't Muse, Acrobat, SDK and Scout game will not install to App location defined in CC Desktop App?

    Hello

    I put in the control panel of Creative Cloud Desktop for Mac Os X the/Applications/Adobe installation location, the folder that contains the folder Adobe Flash Player.

    (before I asked someone to support and I got confirmation that I can do).

    After installing a long list of applications, I see that Acrobat, game SDK and Scout are in the main folder and Muse uses the folder to/Applications/Adobe as its own folder; now the folder/Applications/Adobe has the icon of the Muse and inside are all the application folders, app of Muse and a legal folder (which I think is Muse).

    Is it possible that ALL Adobe applications are installed in the same folder? Can I just drag these rebel software in place?

    Can I just drag these rebel software in place?

    Yes, you can. Otherwise, this works because it is designed. You're just whacking things a bit by calling uncleverly to your "Adobe" folder, which causes a mess in installers as - tada - they try to create folders and subfolders under this name, as well. You know, trying to thwart the installer can have all kinds of adverse effects...

  • GFWL will not install, error comes from wllogin_64.msi

    The other day, I bought several games on steam, but I can't play most of them because they require GFWL.
    When I try to install GFWL (or any direct product that requires wllogin) it always gives me an error.
    Also tried installing wllogin_64.msi manually, but that no longer works. Automatic updates is turned on but will not install the update from the GFWL v3.4.

    Here are the log files,
    setupexe_log: http://www.mediafire.com/?511wbs8u5at3igw
    wllogin_msi.log: http://www.mediafire.com/?ihzwocptd585dnv

    PS: I installed a new copy of windows 7 on a new partition and GFWL installed fine and I can play the games on this copy. Would like to have it work well on my main drive (SSD).

    Guys,

    Solution:

    I faced the same problem when installing GTA IV. I have troubleshooted newspapers and found the culprit to be "wllogin_64.msi".

    Seems that we should update the three files in this process;

    http://download.GFWL.xboxlive.com/content/GFWL-public/redists/production/XLiveRedist.msi
    http://download.GFWL.xboxlive.com/content/GFWL-public/redists/production/gfwlclient.msi

    and the third is the wllogin_64.msi

    http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=5E193CFE-F45A-4E29-B6B7-984E7802C639&displaylang=en

    With the gfwlivesetup do not have installed get all these files, download and install manually.

    Now, I could enter the game ;)

    See you soon,.

    This has happened

    Each time Firefox opened

    Is since mid-July

    Do a clean reinstall and download a new copy of Firefox since http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    Uninstall your current version of Firefox and remove the Firefox program folder before installing this copy of the Firefox installer.
    It is important to remove the Firefox program folder to delete all the files and make sure that there is no problem with the files that were the remains after uninstallation.
