  Hi aminal Merlin,

  Most programs written for an earlier version of Windows also work in this version of Windows, but some older programs might run poorly or not at all. If an older program does not work, use the compatibility mode to run these programs.

  1. right click on the main game program icon that you want to play in this version of Windows, and then click Properties.

  2. click on the Compatibility tab.

  3. under "Compatibility Mode", check the box that reads as "run the program in compatibility mode for" and in the drop-down menu, select Windows XP or another previous version of Windows.

  4. click on apply and then OK.

  5 install the game in compatibility mode and restart once the installation is complete.

  Check if this helps you play these games in Windows Vista.

  6. for more information on running a program in compatibility mode, see the following link.

• IM NOT BEING ABLE TO PLAY A PC GAME

  I have correctly installed the Tomb Raider 2013 game for PC, but when I click on play, it turns out the info "failed to initialize Direct3D with current settings".

  What should I do to be able to play the game?

  Thanks to everyone who contributes with the comments here or in my email address: * email address is removed from the privacy *.

  ""failed to initialize Direct3D with current settings.

  Assuming that your machine has a proper graphics processor...

  (1) If you select exclusive fullscreen in the Launcher options you must also select Fullscreen.

  (Before you click Play by selecting Options in the start screen).

  (2) if the game does not always start you can find this deactivation

  In games Launcher can solve the problem there is a "full-screen exclusive" area by disabling the tick.

  (In this full screen game is actually a window without border - exclusive fullscreen is true full screen)

  (3) If you are unable to do without the Launcher to crash, you'll need solve the problem via the registry.

  -Press windows + R to bring up run and type in French - 'regedit '.

  -Navigate to ' HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Crystal Dynamics/Tomb Raider'.

  -Create a subkey under Tomb Raider called "Graphics".

  In the graphs, you must create a DWORD value called "ExclusiveFullScreen" and set it to 0.

  (Must already be on 0).

• Not able to play the video created with camera

  Microsoft ADPCM format (2)

  OK I got a new camera and when I try to play the video on my computer it gives me Microsoft ADPCM Format (2) no idea where im stuck and I went on the microsoft.com site, and it says its for windows 7 {(j'ai windows vista) so what im asking is is - anyone know where to download safe?} otherwise im going to get rid of him

  Hello HG143,

  ·         What is the Format of the video file you are importing and try to play?

  ADPCM, commonly referred to as a form of compression, cannot be downloaded from anywhere. It is a type of compression. The error indicates that one of the files you're trying to play does not support this format, and you may have a missing codec.

  Find out what is the format of the file you play and make sure you have the codecs for this file. Here is an article that will give you information about the Codecs.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/codecs-frequently-asked-questions

  It could also be as possible that this could be caused by some of the corrupt codec. If you have any third-party Codecs installed on your computer, I suggest you uninstall the Codecs and check if you have the same problem.

• Help! I can't play my new game

  I just bought the Sims 3 and installed this game. At the beginning the game would begin for some time and closing. I've uninstalled and reinstalled twice and now it will not open at all. I tried to update the computer and nothing has worked. I just got this computer a few months ago and don't see why I can't play my game.

  Hi courtneyh9,

  It seems that the original installation got corrupted and you do not have to uninstall the game completely. Since you just bought the game recently, we will try to do a system restore and configure your computer to a time before the problems started. Here are the instructions to perform a system restore:

  The System Restore tool

  If the problem you are experiencing started occurring recently, you can use the System Restore tool. Using this tool, you can restore the computer to an earlier point in time. The tool using System Restore may not necessarily help you determine the problem. When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

  To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:

  1. click on Start, type System Restore in the Search box, and then click System Restore in the programs list. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click continue.

  2. in the System Restore dialog box, click choose a different restore point, and then click Next.

  3. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.

  4. click on Finish.

  The computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.

  Let us know how it works and if you want more information.

• Photo Gallery will not play the new game camera video. I don't get colors type screensaver, drawings and models, after downloading the pictures.

  My system is Vista.  Game camera is a Bushnell HD and I can download from an SD card or a direct cable to the photo gallery.  However when I play the video all that can be seen is the same type of screen saver of colors and of protections in motion seen when playing music.  The sound of the segment can be heard clearly, but you don't see nothing recorded.

  Hello joebat,

  It seems that some of your plugins (Shockwave Flash 10.1 r102) might be buggy or obsolete. To check for updates, please visit the plugincheck page. If this does not resolve the problem, try to start Firefox with the disabled modules and see if it helps at all. If so, delete the Shockwave Flash plugin and maybe reinstall or uninstall Firefox and do a new clean install.
  If that is not yet solved the problem, try the following troubleshooting steps: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-mac.html

• GarageBand wasn't able to install the new sounds

  I'm under GarageBand 10.1.2 & OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 on a Macbook Pro 13 retina "(2016).

  A couple of weeks, that I have installed additional drummers with no problems. I noticed, however, that many of the sounds in the sound library had an icon to download next to them; so I went to the GarageBand menu, option "Sound Library / download all the available sounds" and they begin to download immediately. Most of them have installed fine (and is still usable), but at some point the download has stopped and a window appeared with the message "GarageBand wasn't able to install the new sounds. Close and re-open GarageBand to download and install again. »

  Since then, whenever I open GarageBand, downloading continues automatically, but after a few minutes I get the same annoying message.

  I searched the Internet and tried all the following without success:

  (1) closed and reopened GarageBand

  (2) given in market system

  (3) delete the folder "/ private/var/folders/lq/nb_0wt4d1zq5rs933745flww0000gn ' and all its contents

  (4) remove the "user/Library/Caches" folder and all its contents

  (5) the latest version of Java from Oracle (update version 8 101 - build 1.8.0_101 - b13)

  I always feel the same frustrating lock when I open GarageBand (download starts and after a while it stops and the error message shows up again... and again once).

  I've included some screenshots on this post below, which illustrate the issue.

  Thanks in advance for any help you can provide me with!

  

  

  Just to be sure - you have enough free storage to install all the new sounds? The instrument only GarageBand library has 14GB on my Mac.

  Until you try to install the sounds still launch the Console application and look for messages of diagnosis in the Console, when GarageBand gives the error message.  Are there clues, all messages associated with GarageBand in the Console window?

  Sometimes third part applications or incompatible system additions could cause this kind of problem, as firewall and antivirus software, for example, Little Snitch or Kaperski. If you have any of these installed, disable it before attempting to download the software.

  To prevent the non-standard extensions system to interfere, restart the Mac in Mode safe, before you try to install again, see: try safe mode if your Mac does not commissioning - Apple Support

• Once I downloaded the new version of Adobe Flash Player 11.3.300.262, I can not play games with my friends on Yahoo Messenger.

  It could be a coincidence, but when I upgraded to the latest version of Adobe Flash Player 11.3.300.262 I can not play games with my friends on Yahoo Messenger. I know that when I've updated for a reason that I had to try 3 times before it took. It shows that it is updated. I wonder if I have to uninstall and reinstall. Also, I never use Internet Explorer 8 but when I went there to check I found a plug check link there and it showed over there that Adobe Flash Player necessary update but it was an older version and not a Foxfire had updated me too. Now I'm really confused if it causes a problem. I've never had to control Internet Explorer for plug-ins before. Have always just updated to Foxfire since that's what I use. Adobe Flash Player seems to play videos OK not really sure if this is the issue or not. My Java plug-ins have been very well and have been updated some time there, so I know it's not that. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

  Hey again,
  After hours of reading and checking to make sure I had good things enabled, I did, I gave up and uninstalled the latest version of Adobe Flash Player, they gave me and re-installed and later I had my friend get on Messenger and we tried games and it worked this time.
  For some strange reason when I updated it took me 3 tries before it took. So even if he told me that it has been installed, apparently it wasn't really. Just goes to show you that you can not trust what you see.
  What has really scratching my head was I went to Internet Explorer 8, which I never use more and discovered you can now get Mozilla plug in slip out there and when I did showed that same Adobe Flash Player is outdated but it was to a different version. Not knowing if it would help, I installed a new too and he said it was his understanding that it does not. So I guess you can have 1 version installed on the computer 1 despite 2 browsers different different versions. It becomes too complicated for me. Laughing out loud!
  I work with computers all the time at work but not the technical stuff. If it's something simple, I can guess through it to help someone but it's my first personal computer for me and is a former first, so I got experience using different types. We use the desk at work as well. Personally, I like computers laptops for various reasons. And the mention of people many browsers go way over my head.
  Please answer this question though and you answer back.
