I have a new laptop with Windows 7 and it will not install a game of mine. It's Agatha Christie: Triple murder mystery Pack; requirements which are Windows 98/ME/2000/XP/Vista...how can I make it work?
When I put the game, happens to the Setup screen, but when I click on install, it does not work... so I need a way to make it work... Please help me.
Hi caecae1461,
Welcome to the Microsoft Answers Forum!
We would like to know, do you receive a correct error message or error code when it freezes?
As the game is not also installed in the Compatibility Center, you can try to run the game in compatibility mode. Steps to follow:
i. right click on the game (on the .exe file)
II. click on properties
III. click on the Compatibility tab
IV. Select run this program in compatibility mode and select windows vista
Below the link for reference: brand 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
Thank you, and in what concerns:

I have a new laptop with windows 7 when I get on facebook games action lages and do not move smoothly is something I need to download or change the settings to make it work smoothly, it does only with games
burningbush,
It can also be a problem with the game running through Facebook server. I noticed a difference in great step lately with Farmville on Facebook compared to when I started playing. You should check to see if it seems to be the same on the other PC. I noticed the problem on several machines in different places, so I know that it was not limited to a PC.

I just downloaded and configured FireFox for my new computer with Windows 7. I've included restaurateur Classic theme in my Add ons. I have only 1 bar (Navigation (?)) at the top of the screen, under the tabs. It has everything I need in there, but I want it to be stationary, rather than appearing when I move the cursor towards it & if I move the cursor away in endangered. I would like to be able to see the bar without having to stop what I'm doing to make it reappear. This seems to be a novelty. My old version of several weeks, do not. Help, please. Thank you...
I can't think of anyway to make the Navigation bar appear/disappear based on the direction in which you move your mouse.
Well, there is the view full screen, where the area of entire toolbar including the tabs slide bar up out of the screen and reappears if you drag the pointer of the mouse completely to the top. (You can use the F11 key to activate the full screen on and outside).
Is it possible, that there is an option of one of your extensions?

I have a Toshiba laptop with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit installed and would like to change to Windows 7 32 bit. How can I do this?
Original title: Harold
Usually this is impossible on computers with Windows 7. In almost all cases, you need to go to the store, buy Windows 7 32-bit and use the CD to install it on your computer. This also requires the deletion of your system, you will need to reinstall all your programs and settings.

I have a HP laptop with Windows 7 (OS) with 64 bit, but very slow. Can you suggest a way to start my fast pc? Most of the time it doesn't quite work.
Hello
There are a number of possible reasons, your computer may run slowly - virus infection or malware, missing to defragment the hard drive, too many programs loading at startup - and all with different causes / solutions. So here goes:
Virus/Malware - Download, install and run these scanners (only Avast so you do not have your own antivirus installed):
Malwarebytes': http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html .
SuperAntiSpyware: http://download.cnet.com/SuperAntiSpyware-Free-Edition/3000-8022_4-10523889.html .
Avast Antivirus: http://download.cnet.com/Avast-Free-Antivirus/3000-2239_4-10019223.html .
Disk Defragging - install and run this app: http://download.cnet.com/Auslogics-Disk-Defrag/3000-2094_4-10567503.html .
Startup programs - install this application, then select start only the programs you need to run at startup, as your antivirus, firewall, but not your Disk Defragmenter (examples):
Splash Guard: http://download.cnet.com/Startup-Guard/3000-2239_4-10958203.html.
Also, your system's drivers are up-to-date? Updated the driver can also slow down your system. Go to HP.com and insert the complete your laptop model number in the search box to find your latest drivers.
Let me know if these speed up your pc.
Kind regards

I have a laptop with Windows 7 Professional older and want to keep my programs and files intact and transfer to a new laptop, with Windows 7 Home, pre-installed.
First try the image restore option. If that does not work, use your professional Windows 7 disc and boot from it, delete all partitions, then attempt to restore image.
Don't forget: save your Home Premium installation before doing any of this.
