• Impossible to get Pogo games to run

  I am running XP SP3 and MSE, now I can't launch Pogo games requiring Java (get an error saying that can not load images) that they suggest that I check the settings for the firewall (Windows) and security (MSE) antivirus settings. Don't know what to change to make me run these games.

  I was able to play these games before I made the mistake of installation of Registry Booster and speed up my PC of Uniblue and messed up my system. After uninstalling these two, I can't get the games to run.

  This probably isn't a MSE question and probably not a problem of Windows Firewall.

  And you have probably understood your problem, but it will be difficult for you to determine the changes made by the Registry Booster and "Speed Up My PC."

  Have you disabled temporarily MSE to see if the program will then work? Open MSE, settings tab, select real-time protection, and uncheck 'enable real-time protection '.  Make sure that you reenable the MSE.

  Have you disabled the Windows FW to see if the program will then work?

  Have you thought about a system restore to the day before where you installed these products the registry change.

• So I have an old Alienware PC running XP 32 bit and I want to get Windows 7.

  So I have an old alienware pc running 32 bit XP and I want to get windows 7.    I was watching the upgrade version, but I'm probably going to be upgrading the mother/cpu/ram card when Ivybridge comes out.  I can do this or do I have the full version of 7?

  I recommend buying a genuine 'Full Retail Version' edition of Windows 7.

• I can't get the games to run after the upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8

  I have updated to Windows 8, but can not get Windows 7 games to run on this new program. How can I do this?

  If you are referring to the built-in games that were in Windows 7, as they are not available in Windows 8. Instead, there are a few free games available on the Windows Store product Microsoft applications (in your Start Menu). Card by Microsoft games are called Microsoft Solitaire Collection, there are also Microsoft Mahjong and Minesweeper from Microsoft. You should note that these are different from what you had previously.

  You can also search applications game 3rd party on the Windows store.

  If these aren't the games you were talking about, please provide details of those you want to say.

  Try the click with the right button on either the shortcut for the game or the actual .exe.  Select properties, then go to the Compatibility tab.  Then go to the section "Compatibility Mode" and check the box that says "run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select the option of Windows XP (Service Pack 3).

• Impossible to get Pogo games to play with Windows 7

  Downloaded Windows 7 RC.  Unable to get Pogo games to run.  Any ideas?

  Hi christophe13500,

  Thanks for posting "Preparation for Windows 7" community forum.

  Are there codes error or information that you receive when you try to play Pogo games that you can include in the post on the forum?  In my Windows 7 Desktop, I am able to connect and choose and was able to launch a game, so it is specific to the configuration that is currently being used on the system.

  Have you tried to disable the modules for IE and then start the games.

  You can do this by clicking on start ORB / all programs / Accessories / System Tools / Internet Explorer - no add-on.

  Try IE running in this mode, then run again a game from POGO.COM.
  If in this state it does not save the error that you receive, or how the system reacts by trying to run the game.

  If you do not receive an error after disabling add ons, add the addons about half at a later time then try to launch POGO games again.  If the error occurs again disable some of the Add-ons that you enabled and try to see if you can identify which modules can cause the problem.

  Here's how;

  click on tools in Internet Explorer - select Manage Add-ons -there are about FOUR categories listed modules in, toolbars and extensions, search providers, accelerators, InPrivate filtering.  Click on each section and Add-ons for these items will be listed in the right pane.  Right-click on the status of each item individually, and then select Activate to get the module additional operational return.

  In summary, here are the steps that you want to fill;

  1. disable all add-ons
  2. launch Pogo - if it works
  3. turn them modules-about half of them on
  4 restart Pogo.  If it does not deselect some of the Add-ons that has been activated and launch the app until the offending service is identified.

  After completing all the steps of troubleshooting please re - enable all add-ons so IE will be back in a normal operating state.

  After you determine what addon can be the cause of the issue, you can reinstall this addon.

  Please keep us informed by referring to this issue.

  Kind regards

• Problems running of an old game - Lego Island Xtreme Stunts crashes

  I'm running on Windows 7 and you try to run Lego Island Xtreme Stunts and I get an error message at startup indicating that game.exe broke down. I tried running as administrator, tried all sorts of compatibility modes, and I am lost as to how I can review this old game again.

  I found several references to people who have had your game to work on Windows 7 using the Compatibility Mode for Windows 98/Windows Me. In the Compatibility Mode settings, you can also try different combinations for the parameters (for example - 256 colors). Please see:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows

  For more details.

  In addition, please note that Windows 7 64 bit (if that's what you have) won't run 16-bit code, unless you use a virtual environment. Your game is old, but I don't know if this restriction applies to it.

• old games compatible with wins 7 64-bit

  My daughter bought 3 games to play, they are "thrillvile - off the rails, the school Tycoon and the giant Hotel, not the games more popular or well known in the world, the problem is that they are old enough games according to the labels and packaging that they have been made public since 2002, nobody knows if they will play on a laptop running windows 7 64 bit. , I said not to open them (there were some tears, she is only 11) and to be honest, I asked the Director of the local game store she bought in it was pretty honest to admit not having a clue about the games playing on a 64-bit platform he has promised to give a full refund if I wanted to no help, advice and assumptions are welcome, thanks in advance.

  

  You can check this site to see if the games are here.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/default.aspx

  If they are not there, its trial and error. Try to install in compatibility mode, if they do not immediately the bat.

• Reg.exe stopped working on windows 7 64 bit when I want to play an old game.

  Hello guys. I am using windows 7 Home premium 64-bit in my laptop. I just downloaded an old game (2005-2006 perhaps) so I wanted to play. After finishing download (no virus, I checked), and I run the executable files, the message occurred: Reg.exe has stopped working. and the game does not start.

  The game has an application inside reg.exe file, and I think I have to run it manually. but when I tried to run it, the same message is produced.

  This is the error log:

  Signature of the problem:
  Problem event name: BEX
  

  Application name: reg.exe
  Application version: 0.0.0.0
  Application timestamp: 44eeabe9

  Exception offset: 0018fedb
  Exception code: c0000005

  Additional information 4: 0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789

  I already asked in a computer forum, but they said that it is the problem of the ILO. and I read in microsoft help, the reg.exe will not run under 64-bit windows. I read the conclusion, but this isn't for windows server 2003, Windows 7. It says that I have to type reg query \\64server\HKLM\software/reg: 64 or if I want to change it to 32 bits reg.exe, I need to replace the reg: 64 by reg: 32.

  Will there be another conclusion of this problem instead to install the 32-bit operating system?

  What about XP mode for windows 7, it'll work?

  Help me please... Thank you very much.

  Best regards

  Hi Liclac,

  ·        What is the name of the game?

  Check if the game is compatible with windows 7, you can see the ink below:http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/default.aspx

  If the game is not compatible then you can try to run the game in compatibility mode or in windows XP mode.

  Try to run the game in compatibility mod and check if the error occurs again: make sure to run older programs in this version of Windows:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows

• How can I get my xbox 360 controller to work with my computer... Im running the 64-bit version of Vista... my computer does not even recognize the hardware?

  How can I get my xbox 360 controller to work with my computer?... I can't even recognize the hardware? Im running Vista 64 bit on a quad core rig any help would be appreciated... Thank you

  Hello Ghostdogaln.

  How do hang you the controller?  You must either use a * wired * controller, or use a wireless controller with receiver game Xbox 360 for Windows.

  If you use a wireless with a Play and Charge kit controller, it will not work as long as the USB cord only actually plug into the battery for the controller itself.

• Need USB drivers for old Equium L40 - 10U PSL41E running Vista 32-bit

  Hi all

  I think that my USB driver is corrupted. I found the ChipSet, LAN and BIOS drivers for my old PSL41E Equium L40 - 10U running Vista 32 bit. However, I have not found the USB drives I need. USB drivers are contained in the ChipSet, BIOS or LAN driver?

  If not, where can I find and download the USB drivers for my old old Equium L40 - 10U PSL41E running Vista 32 bit?

  Thank you! -Le Cannet

  Here is where I found the drivers (but with no mention of USB drivers):

  > Are contained in the ChipSet, BIOS or LAN USB drivers driver?

  USB drivers are part of the Windows operating system.
  The USB ports should work after the installation of the Windows operating system and, therefore, there is no such thing as a USB driver for the USB 2.0 standard.

  In addition, the chipset driver must be installed.

  I checked the proposed link in your ad and here, you can download the Intel chipset utility.
  The update of the BIOS is also available
