Impossible to obtain several load games

Several games now is not same reconnized in cd or dvd players.  Others are.  The disc is clean. We have given to someone else to try. Have no news yet about this attempt.  I don't think that there is nothing wrong with about 15 games. Maybe one or two, but now we're going through each one. All where the fine when last played.
We are out of resources. Hope someone finds a fix soon.
The only message we receive is to insert the disc.  We tried to see if computer reconnized player and he made and he plays some without popping up.
Insert disc seems to be the key.

Thank you!

Thanks for posting this Pam.

They all seem to use a mixture of Securom and Safedisc, but all games that have stopped working are more recent and as the copy protection is all that they have in common and how they fail the disk to verify I still think it's the right path.

I know with some systems of newer software copy protection as virtual drives may cause a malfunction.  Things like Daemon Tools or Alcohol 120%.  If you have installed them, they could be responsible and you must first disable them and see if that helps.

I have not heard a games Steam causing the problems, so I suspect Left 4 Dead right now.

The only other thing I can suggest is trying to uninstall one of them, reboot and reinstall and see if that helps. I crawled off NNTP - for now. Announcement of Yeovil, United Kingdom. On the internet at www.windowsresource.net. Please post back to let us know what works and what does not. :-)

After the last update for windows and ATI, I had problems to read my games - some don't is not loading, some give me access violations, others do not go full-screen.

I worked with HP to install and reinstall the ATI update and update of the last window. Whenever errors are different on my games.

    First thing to do would be to check the compatibility of the individual games that you are trying to play the Windows 7 Compatibility Center.

    Here is the link:

    https://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/default.aspx

    Then, DO NOT ever update the drivers through Windows Update. Always install the drivers from the manufacturer's website.

    Is your Windows 7 install an upgrade of Windows Vista?

    Titanic, travel, etc. - are these games, bigfish, BTW?

    If so, contact them.

    I feel ultimately that your user account may have got corrupted somehow.

    Create a new user account and check if you can play the games there.

    If so, fix the damaged user account.

  • I have several older games, I like to play, they are Compatible, not compatible.

    Original title:

    Compatible, not compatible.

    Win7 home 64 bit. OEM

    I have several older games, I like to play. Age of Empires II, StarCraft Original, Empire Earth.

    Everything to Win98SE and XP.

    I can get to install, but the games will only play in resolution 800 x 600. If I try to change the resolution, that the game will crash or system will freeze.

    The video is of very poor quality. And games is jerking.

    I tried compatibility mode, but there is no change.

    This PC has two HDs. not connected at the same time. We got Win7. The other has XP.

    The MB, graphics card, Ram is the same used on the two OSs.

    I just unplug a HD and the other.

    So with everything the same. Why the games perfectly preform on the hard drive on XP but not on the HD Win7?

    The two HDs are the same brand and size. Just different OS.

    Only thing I see is XP is 32 bit and Win7 64 bit. So, I guess that 64-bit is not backward compatible.

    Boss thank you very much for your answer.

    I do not 'Dual Boot'. I don't have that one BONE is connected at a time because of the problems of the past with the new OS, creating a sort of chaos with the operating system older. It seems to work a heck of a lot better that way. Neither OS has no memory of the other.

    I seem to have understood "Empire Earth" works pretty well.

    I read another post of similar problem. The answer was to install the game via the open/explore the game CD and clicking on the 'Setup.Exe' instead of using the "Auto install".

    The game is loaded without a problem and works well with the Nvidia card. The graphics are excellent.

    I'll try the same method on other games. I hope that it will work with the same great results.

    Thanks again for your concern and Advisor.

    Now, about the bookmarks... Which of these many places are you try to rearrange your bookmarks?

    Hello

    In windows 7, the resolution of the screen during playback of some of these changes of games based on the resolution of the screen, you have provided for the game.

    Method 1:

    Do a right click and go to the shortcut properties and find the box where it says 'run' pass the value normal in full screen.

    If this does not help, configure the following setting and check:

    (a) right click on the game shortcut icon, click Properties.

    (b) on the shortcut tab, go to run.

    (c) in the drop-down list, select expand.

    (d) click on apply to apply the setting.

    (e) click on Ok to confirm the change.

    Method 2:

    Also, I suggest you try changing the hardware acceleration, here are the steps to change the hardware acceleration.

    (a) go to start > Control Panel

    (b) in the window of the Control Panel, click appearance and personalization

    (c) click personalization > display settings, and then click Advanced settings.

    (d) go to the Troubleshooting tab, and then click on change settings.

    Note:

    The settings will be disabled if the graphics card driver does not support disabling hardware acceleration.

    Move the hardware acceleration slider until it is one notch to the right of none. It is the basis of acceleration.

    Click OK twice, and then close the window.

  • Loading games on vista

    I can't load my old games on vista - some will be most do not.  Suggestions - cannot afford to buy a few new games, and most is not available; for example, Robert E Lee, civil war general.  The games will load on xp not vista. Help

    Hi HowBoutThat,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site.

    It is quite possible that the game is designed for an earlier version of Windows and is not compatible with Vista.

    The only option on the left here is to change the compatibility of the game settings by running the program compatibility Wizard. To manually change the settings of a program, use the individual program's compatibility tab.

    Run the program compatibility Wizard

    1. open the program compatibility Wizard the by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, click programs, and then clicking on use an older program with this version of Windows.

    2. follow the directions in the wizard.

    If you are unable to install a program, insert the installation for the program and, using the wizard disk, navigate to the program setup file, usually called Setup.exe, Install.exe, or something similar. The wizard is not designed to work on programs that have an .msi file name extension.
    To change compatibility settings manually for a program, right-click the program icon, click Properties, and then click the Compatibility tab.

    Reference:

    Make older programs in this version of Windows
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows

    If changing the settings does not resolve the problem, please go to the website of the manufacturer of the program to see if there is an update of the program.

    Happy new year!

  • Failed to load games. Guilty: DEP.

    How can I diaable Data Execution Prevention from my computer. It drives me crazy.  Although I use the computer for other things, I like better playing games on Pogo, Yahoo, and MSN.  DEP doesn't let me load the games.

    Howdy:

    Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is a Windows feature designed to prevent viruses and other threats to the security of an impact on your computer.  The best solution would be to contact the channels of support for games sites you want to visit and see if they have an update that will allow them to work with DEP.

    To work around the problem, you can add an exception to a "white list" that will bypass the DEP:

    1. Click Start, click run, type sysdm.cpl, and then click OK.
    2. Click the Advanced tab, click performance, and then click settings.
    3. In the Performance Options, click the Data Execution Prevention tab, and then click Add.
    4. In the Open dialog box, locate and then click the program.
    5. Click Open, click apply, and then click OK. When you are prompted to restart your computer, click OK.
