  • What is a video game for Windows XP always run on Windows Vista?

    My sister wants to buy a video game for the computer. But the game says that it works under Windows Me /XP/ 98. This game will always work when used on a Windows Vista?

    Not a guarantee. Changes in technology and sometimes on the way, old programs break. The reason why many do is simply because the way in which they were written. Some programs are hard coded to check the version of the OS during installation, if Setup program fails to find a suitable BONE, it was designed for (XP = 5.1, 2000-5.0), it refuses to install. It is a bad practice on the developers part that Microsoft is working with third-party developers for the development of Windows Vista to discourage.

  • How to install the 16-bit game in Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

    I wanted to install my game of childhood as VirtuaFighter 2, Virtua Cop 2, Daytona USA Deluxe.All in a single disc named Sega CD 3

    But it can only support with 16-bit windows version.my version windows is now home premium 64-bit.
    I tried the windows virtual PC, but it can not install too... >< i="" wanted="" to="" play="" this="" game="" so="">
    No idea how to solve this problem?

    «I tried the windows virtual PC, but it can not install too...» »

    The XP Mode , which is available with Win7 Pro is more for business software and is not suitable

    for the games because there is no d3d.

    The problem is perhaps more to do with the game using a 16-bit installation program that is not compatible

    with 64-bit Windows, as the game itself. Many of these games will be run on 64-bit Windows

    installed.

    If you can install the game on another computer that uses 32-bit Windows, it may work

    After copying on your 64-bit Windows.

    Do not copy the default game Program Files (x 86). Use another Partition, HARD drive or create

    a new folder in C:\ install games there (to avoid the problems of "permissions").

    -Some games also have fans sites, where you can download installers who are suitable for 64-bit

    Windows.

    -If the game is quite old to run in the BACK and then BOX BACK is the best option.

    D - Fend Reloaded: Overview -D - Fend Reloaded BOX BACK beams with a user interface

    (I have not tried yet myself).

    -There are other Virtual Machines that can run when the game does not work in DOS-

    | MG | Download VirtualBox 4.1.10.76836

    may have a version of games or compilation, which settles with BOX BACK, you download... Close at hand!

    OK, finally solved.

    I uninstalled what is called "Windows Live ID Sign - in Assistant", as well as the usual games of .NET, MS for Windows - LIVE and games for Windows Marketplace Client, then ran a registry cleaner (I used CCleaner, which is free) and restarted.
    I then reinstalled GWL from MS. site

  • Cannot install Games for Windows Live

    I need to install Games for Windows Live to play several games on this laptop.

    When I run gfwlivesetup, all downloads very well and gets to the point where it installs GFWL and I get the following error every time:

    "An error occurred during the installation of assembly ' Microsoft.VC90.CRT, version ="9.0.21022.8", publicKeyToken ="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b"processorArchitecture ="x 86", type ="win32 "'. See Help and Support for more information. »

    Looking through several log files, I discovered the error to be (0x8007078f) code that relates to, "connection failed: the machine you log on is protected by an authentication firewall." The specified account is not allowed to authenticate on the machine. »

    So two things come to mind. The account is authenticated and firewall. Well, my account is an administrator account and right click on gfwlivesetup and choose "run as Administrator" does not change a thing. Well, screw the router, I just take the right out of my router modem jack and plug rather the ethernet of my laptop, without going through all the ports that can be blocked. The only firewall that is up and running (the only one installed) is the MS OS firewall, so let's just turn this baby off and still the same error.

    So if we ignore all the error code (0x8007078f) completely, then we can treat the error originally presented... I see basically: processorArchitecture = "x 86", type = "win32".

    Well, I'm running a Windows 7 64 - Bit, and my processor is a Core i7-740... I am out of the resources here. I have seen many people having the same problem or similar (Google reveals a lot). So if someone is willing to stick with me throughout this, I intend to see resolved (at least for me). I only pray that as I did not reinstall Win 7 or make repairs. They do not understand all of these DVDs with the laptop.

    Thanks in advance,

    Thank U.

    Hi D33Viilz,

    I found a post on the Games for Windows Live site that has addressed your question.  Here are the steps and the link to the original post:

    If you're running Vista, you can not uninstall all .NET Framework before 3.0.

    If you haven't already, you will need to download 3.5 SP 1 here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=AB99342F-5D1A-413D-8319-81DA479AB0D7&displaylang=en

    If you are running Windows 7, it should have the most recent of the .NET Framework.

    Also, I would say that you are using the tool Mod proposed (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301) to completely remove Microsoft Games for Windows LIVE and LIVE Redistributable.

    When you have finished using the cleanup utility, check that it has been removed through programs and features.

    Restart your PC, and then re-download the newest Client of Games for Windows LIVE here: go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9640147

    CMDC,
    If the SFC was not able to repair files then the best thing to do is to reinstall Windows.  You can try running a disk error check, if it fixes all of the problems, and then rerun the SFC and then install and run the System Update tool.  If there is still a problem with the SFC nto be able to complete then you should do a reinstall.

  • I bought the PC Version of Fable III of this year early and installed and created an account with games for windows Live!

    I bought the PC Version of Fable III of this year early and installed and created an account with games for windows Live! About 2 months ago, I formatted my computer and reloaded windows 7! Last night I downloaded Microsoft Flight and used my existing account to play! Today, I installed Fable III and the game won't start as it says that I am not connected to the internet! This is wrong since I write here for you! Why my game will not, organize that I have connected to my account last night with problem now? Please help me?

    Yes, unfortunately GFWL's an imperfect system. Steam has similar problems. I find the best way to avoid
    problems is to play all the games that are related to a system off line.
    I have absolutely no interest in what GFWL can offer online, in any case.
    Many games have a "fix" for GFWL, which are generally easy to find through a search.
    Of course these only help facilitate offside line.

    Try Timeslips Fable 3 GFWL remover - it is well known in the modding community, particularly
    its managers mod for Bethesda games and his job is safe to use.
