How can I get Caesar IV to work on Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit?
My father has installed and tried running Caesar IV on our WIndows 7 Home Premium 64-bit system. He could not come, so I offered to help. Not knowing what he had or had not done, I decided to uninstall and reinstall Caesar. I tried to install the version of Dirext X comes with the game (Direct X 9) and tried to run with the latest version of DirectX. I tried to run ALL compatibility modes, and the results are as follows, regardless of which version of DirectX I have:
In the following compatibility modes, all that happens is the mouse icon has a rotating disc near her, indicating that it is loading, but nothing happens:
Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 (SP1), WIndows Vista, Windows Vista (SP1) and Windows Vista (SP2).
I get this message:
"Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime error!
Program: C:\Users\Jeff\AppData\Roaming\Cierra\CaesarIV\CaesarIV.exe
This application has requested the execution to terminate in an unusual way.
Please contact support team of the application for more information. »
When I try to run in modes caused following:
Windows 95, Windows 98/Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0 (Service Pack 5), Windows 2000, Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Windows XP Service Pack 3, Windows Server.
ANY help would be greatly appreciated. My father is a big fan of this game, and I would like to do everything I can to make it work for him.
Hello
Caesar IV is not compatible with Windows 7. I suggest you to see the following link for more information:

I suggest to perform the clean boot and then try to install the program in compatibility mode for Windows XP.

MS Streets & Maps works in Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
It cannot get MS Streets & Maps works on Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
See the title.
Hello Gemard,
Streets and trips 2008, 2009 and 2010 are compatible with Windows 7. Earlier versions may not work, however you can try and use Compatibility Mode.
If the program is not compatible, then you try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.
Use the following steps:
(1) right click on the program
2) click Properties
3) click on the Compatibility tab
(4) select run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows Vista or other operating system, the program has been run successfully.
Check out the link here: 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
If compatibility is not successful, then try and run the program compatibility problems:
1. open the troubleshooting program compatibility Troubleshooter by clicking the Start button.
Then click on Control Panel. In the search box, type troubleshooting, and then click Troubleshooting. Under programs, click on run programs for previous versions of Windows.
2. follow the instructions in the troubleshooting.
If you are unable to install a program, insert the installation disc for the program and, using the Troubleshoot utility, navigate to the program setup file, usually called Setup.exe, Install.exe, or something similar. This utility is not designed to work on programs that have an .msi file name extension.
If it is not a success, since you're under Windows 7 Home Premium, you can search for 3rd party software of vitualization that works on Home Premium and run Streets and Trips in a virtual environment.
If please reply back and let us know if it helped to answer your questions.

HP Laserjet Pro M251nw color: How can I get my printer to work with Windows 10
I can't get my printer to work, it is installed, I have updated the drivers, I get a message that it is not connected - I did it is certain
Hi @jotsol,
I see you are having problems printing from Windows 10. I'd love to help you.
I wasn't sure if you meant that you run Windows Update to update the drivers or downloaded the last.
I would say to uninstall all old software of the printer, if you updated to Windows 10. Then, download and install the latest drivers from HP. color HP LaserJet Pro 200 M251 series full feature software and drivers.
Download and run the print and Scan Doctor, he will diagnose the problem and could solve it automatically.
How is the printer connected? (USB, Ethernet, WiFi)
What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (she print or scan, error messages)

How can I reactivate in my product key for window 7 Home premium
I have a sony vaio VPC 111FM PC with original edition window7 OS Home premium. I upgraded to windows 7 ultimate. I was disappointed because some of the features my pc. was not able to operate, some drivers are absent, and software up to date, I try to install the updates several times but the problem continue to insist. While im updating I have discovered that the ultimate installed is not genuine. I want to go back to his pre installed OS Windows 7 Home premium / factory setting, but I don't have the disk. I bought the PC from BEST BUY CA. without OS to windows 7 and recovery inside the box disk installer. CAN you help me to solve my problem? IM know not so much in the operation of a computer. Pls help me step by step to sove my concern. TY very much.
New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.
If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

This will refresh the driver stack.Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard
If there are 3rd party with their own software and drivers and the other main device drivers
you have.Now, go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restore)
and site (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get the manufacturer and device
their latest versions. (Look for the system to update the BIOS, Chipset and software updates

REBOOT after each installation.Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you are

I was able to print to a Hp Officejet 4215 with no problems and a brother and then printer started to save as offline and would not print. Uninstalled all printers and tried to install a new HP Officejet 6310 printer. Ran the install disc included, but would get the message error, is went to the HP site and downloaded the driver, still received the error msg - Windows found a driver software for your device but encountered an error trying to install it. The specified port is unknown. and installation of the device software has no error. I went into control panel / Device Manager / USB controller group / and tried to uninstall - restarted the pc and still no luck. When I go to the control panel and try to install a printer, there is no port printer not listed and I can't add a new port. I have connected the printer to another laptop running Windows Vista and recognized the new printer and installed the drivers and the impressions very well, but this laptop will not load the drivers. Help, please... Im a university student and desperately need to print!
Hello
All ports are used, and this is the reason why the installation goes through. We can uninstall these devices that are not in use and then try to reinstall the printer. Here's how:
a. start, point to all programs, point to Accessories, and then click command prompt.
b. at a command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:
Set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices = 1
c. type the following command a command prompt and press ENTER:
Start devmgmt.msc
d. troubleshoot the devices and drivers in Device Manager.
NOTE: Click Show hidden devices on the view menu in device managers before you can see devices that are not connected to the computer.
e. now navigate in imaging devices and then Device Manager expand it. Check if there are any devices that are not highlighted or blurred. Right-click on these devices and choose uninstall.
f. repeat the same Universal Serial Bus controllers also.
g. now try to install the printer.I hope this helps.
