• Cannot load games 'Titanic', 'Travel' - no message just a flicker on the screen, then the game stops. On "Death on the nile" error - latest version of directx. On 'Peril at End House' error - last need direct 3d.

  I have win7, Windows Home premium 64-bit on an HP Pavilion Elite I - 7 core intel and Gateway screen (fx2300). 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. Oh, now I can no longer adjust the resolution of my screen for anything other than the highest or lowest values acceptable (everthing in between is blocked).  I have supported the ATI update several times, but it takes to watch TV in hd. I worked with HP to install and reinstall the ATI update and update of the last window. Whenever errors are different on my games. Initially, they were access violations and some games would not work, I have the update and reinstall it and other games would get the access violation? Now I can't load games 'Titanic', 'Travel', 'Nancy Drew - lights camera curses'. -No message, just a flickering on the screen, then the game ends. On "Death on the nile" error - latest version of directx. On 'Peril at End House' error - last need direct 3d. I have directx 11. All my games worked at the beginning of April. .  I have directx 11.

  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.

  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.

  Hi Brian,.

• Games PC & Vista

  I would definitely buy a game for the laptop, but it is not compatible with Vista. Is there anyway I can bypass this or am I resigned to be too advanced?

  The it runs on platforms monte to XP.

  Any suggestion or help would be appreciated!

  Whether or not you can get an older game to work on a newer operating system, does not support depends on the game. Without more information the best I can do is point you in the meaning of this:

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

  and recommend that you do some research on the web based on the name of the game and Vista comaptibility to see how other people (if any) have got game to work under Vista.

  Be sure to check any other requirements for the game too.

  The key is that if you buy a game that is advertised as non-compatible and it doesn't work, you've wasted your money - the risk is yours.

  Also: cannot open PDF files unless I open them directly from Adobe.  Boring.

  Any suggestions?

  Hi, try the following steps.

  Download and install SuperAntiSpyware (free version) from superantispyware.com and run a system full scan and remove all infections and restarted when prompted to.

  Then, open your browser and go to adobe.com and download the latest Adobe Flash Player and Shockwave Player.

  Then try to see if that fixed it.

  Also try changing your browser. Instead of Internet Explorer, try Mozilla Firefox.

  Most likely related to spyware or virus that you had or still have left of which is the origin of the problem.

• Games of Vista and the cd does not

  I have a Toshiba laptop with Vista and my friend has a Dell with Vista.  She has no trouble loading the cd games but I do and don't know why. Have not been able to use one of my old CDs.  I bought the new software for Vista and sometimes they will load and sometimes not.  I have the Active X.  This particular game that is not downloading is Scrabble. Hate Vista, think to get rid of it.

  Hello Dachsiema,

  Thank you for posting.  As you said a friend was able to load the game and have the same type of problem with other drives, it seems you might have a problem with CD/DVD player.  We will test this by trying to copy all the files on the CD to a folder on your computer (create a new folder and copy all the contents of the CD to this folder).  Once you copy all the files, and then try to install the game from the folder.  If there is a problem with your CD drive, the files will not correctly copy to the folder.

  Please try this and I would like to know the results. Zack

• Updates to windows in the last 7 days caused problems of slow loading of machines vista OS?

  Machine Vista my sister began to take 20 to 25 minutes to load Internet Explorer and also games (not on the Internet).

  Anyone who suffers from this?

  Yesterday (April 16, 2013), I restored the position of CPC to 09/04/13 and it seemed to work very well at that. So I re-run Windows updates and after the reboot needed it still cost to be loadingn as it should.

  So I decided to restart again and we're back where we took 25 minutes to load.

  Is this a known problem. Disabling is a possible update and that could be the cause of the problem?
