• I am suddenly not able to run the Defender on my system vista sp2 Home premium x 64.

  My Defender program does not work because of error - 0x800705b4.  I am running microsoft databases, but I recently had a problem with so-called trojan attack.  All clear now, but that's the problem of the Defender. Any thoughts?

  It's not a problem. Microsoft Security Essentials disables Defender
  because it contains the same features. It's good, not bad.

• Most of the games that require 'run as administrator' not loading well much of the time, sometimes even resulting in a blue screen

  OK, so the point is around 2 specific games that I play with my friend, those Heroes of Newerth and League of Legends. The two I need to aprove make changes to the computer to start. Together with launch normally, but when it comes to load a game, I'm gambling or not my pc will fuction when the loading is complete.

  The problems differ from a partial freeze with occasional spikes along the screen to a snowy screen and sometimes even a blue screen or a forced reboot.

  I doubt that the problem has nothing to do with the required performance, especially when it comes to League of Legends. My pc is brand new and it can run the latest game call duty on high graphics with no problems at all and it is several times heavier on the required performance than the other two 2.

  Any ideas what could be causing it and how can I solve it?

  My pc runs on Windows 7 on an AMD Athlon II x 4 630 to 2.80 GHz proccessor 2 GB of RAM, the card mother M4A785TD-V EVO and a gainward gt 240 512 MB GDDR3 graphics card.

  Thank you all for trying to help me.

• If I use Windows 7 Professional with the English edition, it would be possible for me to run games that are in Chinese (which means read Chinese characters correctly)?

  I noticed her Ultimate version has the language program 35 or more. However, I highly doubt my computer having the power to enforce that. I have to use something like Microsoft Applocale in order to be able to play games then?

  pchau,
  I think that your game should work normally and if it is written in Chinese as the display language then it should work.  Best thing to do is to create a restore point and then install the game and try it.  Let us know what happens.

• Can I run a game that has been installed in a Windows version of 32-bit with a 64-bit OS?

  That's the question, please answer me.

  Very likely... :)

  Most of the games are very good with few 76. The exceptions are-

  Very old games of 16 bits (pre 2000) often have 16-bit setup programs that do not work on 64-bit.

  They can often be installed on a 32-bit and copied computer at work 64-bit and again.

  Some of the most popular games of old have new installers that are compatible with 64-bit available on fan sites.

  It is not the OS that is causing the problem with a lot of games. This is the DRM (copy protection) not not grateful

  an OS 64-bit as legitimate.
  ' 04-'06 are bad years of DRM. The older Starforce , Tages DRM are the most problematic.

  Two associated DRM issues are - unsigned drivers (Win7 64-bit not only) or - the DRM is not compatible with 64 bit.

  There are several fixes that will get most of the running games-

  -Floors has a 64 bit update available on their Web site that works for The Witcher (possibly others).
  -When a game cannot be executed because of the more zealous DRM it can very often be fixed with a 'noCD' patch

  These can come from a couple of web sites (Mega Games), but some games do not have a noCD patch available.

  Then, there are a few games that don't work on Win7 64 bit. Some 16-bit and BACK according to need of games

• am wanting to run an older game that uses x 86(32 bit) or x 64 (64-bit). is there a way to get windows 7 to run it. is there a download available?

  as stated above, I want to find a patch or update to run this game. is there one. ?

  What game it maybe a patch but how can say us without knowing the game?

  Have you tried Windows 7 compatibility mode to see if that helps? Try to run as a version of windows that your program runs with i.e. WXP sp3 maybe? If this does not help, try marking for "run as Administrator" as well and have a look at some of the other options it offers that they can help.

  If it still doesn't work try to install the game in compatibility mode (that is, run the installer in compatibility mode) as well as to run the game in compatibility mode.

  Is your program listed in recent compatibility, in the affirmative, as who says?

  Have you looked on the support site for the game (his publishers or factory, etc.), to see if they offer a hotfix or Windows 7 tips. Some do it.

• If I buy windows 7 run my games that are vista

  If the game is for vista will work on 7

  In most cases yes.  Indeed, if the game is made for Vista, it will almost certainly work.  If the game is made for XP and it worked on Vista, it will likely run.  There are a few exceptions, but not many.
