    original title: windows 7 gamer edition

    Download of software on these sites can be very risky, because the origin of the files are usually edited and its quite possible that they could have injected malicious code in it.

    Windows 7 Gamer edition is not a developed Microsoft or affiliated with the product, what appears to be a customized image of Windows 7 that authors customized to remove or add Windows components, which can also be very problematic.

    You use something that no one can help you consider he has probably been reverse engineered and probably injected by a malicious code like spyware (keyloggers, rootkits, worms, viruses). I suggest you stick to Windows 7 Ultimate, this is the most complete edition of Windows 7, anyone can have.

  • How to transfer games installed on vista to windows 8

    ORIGINAL solitaire games TITLE: oberon.

    How can I transfer games installed on vista to windows 8.

    Hello
     
    Thank you for your message and give us the opportunity to help you.
     
    I understand that you want to transfer a game from Windows Vista to Windows 8.
     
    If you upgrade to Vista to 8, the upgrade wizard will tell you if the game will be compatible and if it can be preserved during the upgrade.
    You will not be able to transfer games from a Vista machine on a Windows 8 machine.
    The game has to be installed from the Web of CD/DVD/developers site.
     
    You can choose from many available in the store of Windows games.

  • Are the games that are compatible with Vista, they are also compatible for Windows 7?

    Are the games that are compatible with Vista, they are also compatible for Windows 7?

    Hello Karen W.

    In large part, Yes.  I didn't fall on one that does not work on Windows 7, which was done on Windows Vista.  But by saying that I haven't met one who does not work on Windows Vista and I have a fairly large library of games.

    The only thing that I actually noticied is lowest for the transition to 64-bit, where the 16-bit applications no longer works, and some games just there about 8 years ago still used 16-bit installers.

  • Windows Vista Games disappeared when I installed Windows 7

    After I clean installed Windows 7, I noticed that all my games in Windows Vista (for example, solitaire spider, chess, etc.) had disappeared. How to make a comeback? When I look in the start menu under the Games folder in the Games Explorer, there is NO games listed! Help, please!

    If you have installed the Windows 7 Professional SKU, that's why.  Make your way to:

    Beginning
    -> Control Panel
    --> Programs
    ---> Turn Windows features on or off

  • NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GT: the driver is installed for this device is not compatible with Windows 7 (from Vista 32-bit)

    Hi all, I am interested in my Sony Vaio AR41L (under Vista 32 bit SP2) upgrade to Windows 7, but when I run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, it tells me that, for the graphics card, NVIDIA GeForce 8400 M GT, the driver "installed for this device is not compatible with Windows 7.

    Apparently, NVIDIA is not a solution and sent people to Sony, and Sony say that they have not updated the drivers for Windows 7 and that we do not know when they expect to do...

    All known and solved this problem?  Any suggestions would be very helpful!

    Thanks in advance.

    I have a laptop Fujitsu Siemens, a friend installed Windows 7 on it, but apparently this laptop is not compatible with this that I have been informed by Fujitsu.
    It was initially installed Windows Vista Basic.

    Hello

    There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

    This can help you:

    http://www.heidoc.NET/Joomla/technology-science/Microsoft/57-Windows-Vista-direct-download-links

    You can contact Fujitsu and ask them to send you a set of Vista recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    http://www.Fujitsu.com/SG/products/PC/support/drivers/recovery_faq.html

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    Installation of Windows 7 was able to destroy this Option:

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery on the drive Partition hard reinstall Windows how much you bought your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  • After you have installed windows 7 on my pc, sometimes different errors whenever I start a game! and I lie down the computer.

    I just installed windows 7 64 bit of vista 32 bit on my acer and then I can't play all games, there is always a different error on games. It has stopped working or a mistake happens! It makes me a little angry when all I wanted was a better pc and now I have sittet in a few days and finally got it right, and then everythings blowing!

    Hi, Jacob Sulkjaer,.

    There are many reasons for the game does not work correctly because each game has its own requirements.

    Method 1

    Check if the game is compatible with Windows 7 64-bit using the Compatibility Center.

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

    Method 2

    If you receive same error message after the game is compatible Windows 7, then check the power to the game manual if any software or plugin is required for the game works properly on the game provider's Web site.

    Method 3

    Many games need updated versions to day or greater cards installed on the computer.

    You may need to update the graphics card drivers on the computer by visiting the website of manufacturer of graphics cards download and install the updated driver and check if it works.

    Also update the motherboard chipset drivers by visiting the site of computer manufacturer.

    I hope this helps!

  • Desktop HP Pavilion p6310y: need standalone Serial ATA Drivers to install Windows Vista on Pavilion p6310y

    I bought your desktop Pavilion p6310y on eBay, and I really like it. I installed Windows 7 Ultimate on it without problem. For the purposes of running the software (in particular, Microsoft Virtual PC 2007), I also want to install Windows Vista Ultimate on it, on another partition.

    I was under the impression that Windows Vista Home Premium 64 - Bit was originally installed the operating system when this system was released, however, when I start the installation support Windows Vista (which I created from a downloaded ISO), it requires additional drivers (no doubt, Serial ATA drivers) before instalatio, also no hard drives appear in the drive list. Anyone know where I can get these independent Serial ATA driver files? The controller is a NVIDIA nForce Serial ATA controller. I do not have the recovery of original installation disks and don't think that it would be possible to get to this point, this system is no longer supported by HP.

    Any help would be appreciated. TIA.

    Mark W. Stroberg

    Hi, Mark:

    I compressed upwards and tied the driver for the sata raid controller, you require to the nvidia chipset, that your PC has below.

    The best way to install the driver is as follows...

    Extract (copy) the files on a USB FlashDrive without any folder.

    With the flash player and the support of Vista installation in the machine, boot from the Vista installation media.

    After selecting the install now option, select the training - Advanced menu, Options and select the option load a driver.

    You should now see the storage driver files listed.

    If you check the box, it only includes the compatible driver.

    Follow the prompts and I hope that Vista will install.

  • Qosmio G30-176: BSOD when installing Windows Vista Edition full

    I have my wisdom(??!!) I bought a Toshiba Qosmio g30-176 with preinstalled Windows XP MCE 2005. The plan was to install Windows Vista Ultimate on drive D: (do the dual machine boot XP & Vista). I've updated the BIOS today on the Toshiba site and I ran Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor.

    I started the upgrade of Vista (custom) and installed the Toshiba RAID drive C: Qosmio (driver C:\toolscd\raid) driver. Installation starts copying the files from the Vista installation disc. This completes OK.

    The upgrade then continues to "unpack"(?) ". files - part way through this restarting of the o/s.
    To restart the Qosmio stop with the blue screen of death and the "SESSION3_INITIALIZATION_FAILED" message "STOP: 0x0000006f (0xC000009D, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000).

  • My games 'delay' after installing Windows 7

    ASUS G50VT
    NVIDIA GeForce 9800M GS
    4 GB

    I got Vista Home Premium installed before I installed Windows 7 Home Premium. Everything else works fine. But when I play games like Empire: Total War and Eve Online. I get a period between 30 seconds and 2 minutes where the game starts to run jerky then returns to normal thereafter. This happens repeatedly. I have the latest graphics drivers. Any ideas?

    Hi GiroKo,

    a. this happens with other games on your computer?
    b. are you facing this problem since day one, that you use these games?
    c. did you change to your computer recently?
     
    I suggest you to check if the problem persists in clean boot mode.
     
    From your computer by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs so that you can determine if a background program is interfering with your game or program. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot".
     
    Steps to switch to clean boot your computer:
    1. click on start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.
     
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.
     
    2. in the general tab, click Selective startup.
    3. under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.
    4. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all.
    5. click on OK.
    6. When you are prompted, click on restart.
    7. after the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.

  • If I install Windows Vista Home Premium to my Windows XP is it go faster?

    Hi, I want to know if I install Windows Vista Home Premium on my Windows XP Home Edition it will go faster? Now, Windows XP is very slow and my son wants to play online games and he can't because the computer will have to slow down. So I was wondering if I install the Windows Vista disc I had, this will make faster? and the computer I have an adapter to receive Web, couldn't that make it slow to? Please answer.

    It depends on the specifications of the system... XP might be infected with something, if its slow. You have it scanned with an AV program or something? Vista needs a bit more ram than XP. So, if there is not enough ram in the system, Vista can be just as slow (or slower) than XP. If the conversation of youre cable is an ethenet cable, you need it. Or you will not get on the internet
