I'm playing a game on vista and it say it will not play on this version, is there anything I can do to get it to play
say I need xp Windows, can I do to play this game. I am a disabled veteran and I'm not really computer literate. Help, please.
Hello Roy Mannon.
I suggest to try compatibility mode. This will make Windows report itself as a different version to the by-pass, you've discovered the audit in the boring version games. It is not always successful depending on how the game is written.
But you can try it by right-clicking on the game shortcut, clicking Properties, then compatibility and choosing Windows XP in the drop-down list.

Where is a place to get games for Vista and XP (also Win7) free offline?
Where is a place to get games for Vista and XP (also Win7) free offline?
Looked on Clubic, there are too many Add-ons (not the originals) and demos or deadlines.
Are looking for is not online, you can mention them. No bootleg or emulators and other.
Freeware role-playing, action, puzzle, classics/basics (ladies, old style, etc.), old style (like the games arcade, nintendo, SNES, Sega, Playstation 1, etc.), shooters, etc. All styles are ok and I wanted.
I understand that some freeware games could be like older versions of power and magic, Diablo or Doom/Quake, etc.. I don't mind. Just try not to spend money on the latest and best at the moment. There is more to do in free time. For example: I would be fine if there are something like older versions of two EX or Skyrim or Fallout, Crysis, Age Of Empires, Metroid (SNES), etc. But I understand that I can only ask for so much.
I found mmohut on youtube and it is recommended a lot, they tend to seem to all be online, however. My internet is down now, and I don't want don't no need to connect for stuff too. I think something like steam is out of the picture at this time.

Since the upgrade to Windows 8 Youtube and other videos flash will not play smoothly
Since I've upgraded to Windows 8 Youtube and other flash videos will not play smoothly. When I press play, the video freezes on an image and the sound is fine but the image is locked for several seconds. So if it starts to play, he is so rough its not watchable. If I pause the video and let it buffer for a bit and press play again it works usually smooth for 3-4 seconds in the rough again goes.
This is the case with IE, Firefox and Chrome. My computer is a HP DV7 3060 64-bit with 4 GB of Ram.
I have tried to update drivers video, impossible to find the best drivers.
Any help would be really appreciate as I really get annoyed by this and do not want to go back to Windows 7.
