Hello

What happens when you try to play the game? You get the error message?

First of all I suggest you to restart the game and check.

I suggest you to check the game documentation to verify if the error and the resolution has been listed here. You can also check if updates or patches are available for the game. If the game uses Microsoft DirectX, make sure you have the latest version of DirectX installed on your computer.

Alternatively, you can try to install the game in compatibility mode and check.

Follow the steps to install in compatibility mode:

a. right-click on the game file and select Properties and then tap or click on the compatibility tab.

b. check the box run this program in compatibility modof e.

c. press or click the menu drop down and select a previous operating system, and then tap or click OK.

  • My windows media player will not play a DVD

    My windows media player will not play a DVD: Microsoft Windows 95 Version 5.1 (Build 2600.XP_SP3_gdr.111025 - 1629:Service Pack 3).  Download a free version of media player to play the DVD?  Please tell me the name of the upgrade and where to find the free download version, if so.  Thank you!

    First thing that you do not run windows 95 if your build number is 2600.XP_SP3 it is a build number of windows XP.  Second, you will not be able to play DVDs using this version of windows and media player only.  The reason for this is DVD is a standard that a group of companies shut down and basically, they demand rights fees to use, it codec, which you don't have. You will need get a program that has integrated these codec (or find them somewhere).  Your best option for this is to completely abandon the but of the using Media player to play your DVD (unless you are looking to buy another piece of software).  There is a free option that I use on my machine Windows 7 Basic its called VLC is a free player that makes just about every format out there (not sure Bluray).  VLC uses its own codec (I think it's developed for the linux community orginially) rather than using the codec of the industry.  You can find the program at http://www.videolan.org/

  • Windows vista Media Player will not play mp3 or wma files

    my windows vista Ultimate 64 player will not play any of my wma or mp3 files. said that I did not have the codex of right. but wma and wmv are windows. What's new?

    Hi rpwerner,

    Please use the forum for Support of Vista,

    This is a codec package from Microsoft you want to download to see if it will be useful.  Also, try to update your Windows Media Player and Windows Update to get the latest version of the codec required to play the type of media.

    You can also use your favorite search engine to look for codec packs available on the web to help you read the content.

    NOTE:

    Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.
