Midtown Madness and Midtown Madness 2 works not properly in Windows Vista

Hello, I am a representative of the Customer Service posting on behalf of a client. The concerns of customers is as follows:

The customer has Windows Vista Edition Home Premium. It has installed Midtown Madness and Midtown Madness 2 on that computer. The problem is that it does not work, there, this means that the game is not answer correctly, the winning scores record and do not unlock the next course or vehicles. He has mentioned a mistake, but he was not able to provide the exact wording of it. The error occurs only after a short while when he played two games. He is also the Director, so the solution in KB307091 does not apply.

Hello

1. have you it install the trial version?

If it has installed the trial version of the game, whereas he would have all the options available for the game, for that you must install the full version.

If it has installed the full version, then I suggest you to follow these steps and check if that helps:

Method 1:

Try to run the game as administrator and check if this can help, right click on the game icon and click on run as administrator.

Method 2:

Try to perform the clean boot, and then check to see if the same problem occurs:

NOTE: When you are finished troubleshooting, make sure that restore you the computer mode normal startup such as suggested in step 7 of the above article.

Method 3:

You can also download and install the update patch and see if it helps:

    Hello.

    Install Dual Boot with

    All the drivers are OK on Seven 64 (some require to accept Vista compatibility mod to work properly - ALPS Touchpad, for example), except the Add Package value:
    * No Flash Cards.
    * Panel buttons work fine. Except the Dolby button which does not (beep, but nothing else).

    Bq. -His volume, brightness and a few other basic functions (caps and numlock, etc.) are well recognized by seven. \\-Sound it / off, in sleep & sleep, switch video modes Panel/external, touchpad ON / OFF do not work.
    Tried the usual (VAP of uninstall, reboot and clean, restart and reinstall, then restart), but nothing more.
    I use the latest BIOS update available.

    When we look into msconfig, I saw only one executable file, HSON, islaunched at startup, but is never visible in the process list (even having chosen 'Show all processes users'). Is this normal (because it can launch services/DLLs then stop) or not? I tried all modes (XP SP2, XP SP3, Vista) compatibility and admin rights, but it is not yet launched (or self-closing)...

    No matter who with Vista 64 experienced the same problem? Or: matter with Vista 64 a all work keys Fn?

    I guess that the VAP does not work on Windows 7 because it s is not designed for this OS and there is no PPV still available for Windows 7, only for Vista.

  • I have a problem with the capture tool works not properly on Windows 8.

    Can I change to automatically let me start to select without clicking on New?

    Original title: snipping tool - work when I start it up, the new button has already been clicked but not at home

    Clarification:

    At work, my computer is Windows 7. At home, it is Windows 8. At work when I start the capture tool I have not hit any other button in order to start the selection of the area I want to Snip. The tool is already gray and my mouse is ready to score my selection.

    At home when I start the capture tool, I get the menu, click on 'New' and THEN I can start my selection - one additional click. It annoys me (I know it's small, but I cut a lot) so I was hoping there was a setting I could change how it starts.

    I know that's not exactly a new topic, but I found that I had the same problem.  I found that the cause of this problem actually comes from OneNote believe it or not.  If you have recently updated your Office Suite and now have the ability of OneNote, all you have to do is to open OneNote and configure.  Once you get it configured you can then select the options that you just press the Windows key + S to be able to cut out a screen shot and you can also set it to copy directly to the Clipboard, then there is no need to tap the new button more in the cutting tool.  Hope this makes sense and helps anyone having the same problems I had.

  • Microsoft 3500 mouse not working not properly on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1

    Original title: Microsoft 3500 mouse

    Hello!

    I just bought a Microsoft 3500 mouse and I've met some problems.
    I tried to use it on two different computers (a currently running Windows 7 and another one running Windows 8.1) and I get the same result. I plug the receiver, turn the unit on and the green light appears. It stays like this for no more than 2 seconds and it fades. The mouse continues to work as for a minute another and she doesn't move off the coast (not going into the energy saving mode since the blue light goes out and the pointer freezes) so I have to turn on/off the unit.

    What can be the problem? May be a driver problem or it's just defective?

    Hello

    To answer the question, it could be. As you have tried on two different computers, it seems to be a problem with the hardware which indicates a defective hardware. However, you can also test whether it is a problem with the software by following the steps below.

    Try installing the latest drivers for the Microsoft 3500 mouse from the link provided below.

  • Transfer of records to memory stick using Windows Explorer works not properly. (Windows 7 64-bit)

    I use sticks of memory to copy my photos and documents from my computer for backups of these elements.

    I currently have about 8 000 photos that I try to copy computer to stick.

    The total size of the pictures is about 18 GB, and I use 32 GB sticks. I have four different sticks, from three different manufacturers, and the problem occurs on all four sticks.

    The photos are in "My pictures", who are then in albums, sous-albums, then sub-sub-albums, everything in "Images", which is located in "libraries."

    Reproduction, which has more than 12 hours, it looks like it works OK, but when I check the files on the memory stick a lot are missing!

    Some photos are missing from some albums, and many albums is not there at all.

    I did this for several years, but this problem just started. (It is about six weeks, since I've finally done it.)

    Can someone tell me what I am wrong dong?

  • Oracle is ole2 (excel utility) works not properly on windows 8

    Hello

    The company where I work uses oracle forms 6i on Windows 8 and 7 to its users. They managed to set up properly to work well on these S.O., also they use OLE2 to generate Excel files... Everything works well but there are a few random issues when generating Excel files, it crashes sometimes, other times does not Excel, other times files it generates it well...

    I know the forms oracle is not supported to work with windows 7 and 8 and the company migrates, but it will take a while...

    Meanwhile, what solutions would you guys suggest? ... Perhaps a good solution might be decommissioning theses "OLE2 pilot" on windows 8 to those used in windows xp? How would you do that?...

    Thank you very much in advance!

    Here some examples of the code using OLE2:

    Here some examples of the code used:

    PROCEDURE NEW_EXCEL)

    END;

    Think about what you're trying to do... Oracle Forms 6i was introduced around 1998-1999 was compatible with the OLE used by forms and to Windows 95/98.  Can you really expect this version of Oracle Forms to work reliably with Windows 8?  Those are the kinds of things companies do generally not account for when they make upgrades.

    As for your comment,

    I'm not sure that the company could deploy Windows Xp Virtual Machine on so many computers of users...

    If your company uses MS technology to manage your desktops, it shouldn't be too hard to do out Windows XP MS Mode for your workstations.  It will be not - without pain.  It will be easy - don't.  Is this the perfect solution - don't.  It will give you improved stability until you upgrade - Yes.

  • Video error: the files needed to display video are not installed or not working not properly. Please restart Windows Media Center...

    Please help - it's driving me crazy! I got this to work!

    I am using Vista Ultimate and a connection (cat-5) ethernet to an xbox 360 as a Media Extender (via a Linksys router). I get the error of the video:
    "The files needed to display video are not installed or not working not properly." Please restart Windows Media Center or restart the computer "."

    I have a Happauge PVR 150 TV capture card installed, and you want to watch TV and my video files Via the Xbox 360. I can see the guide for lists of TV programs, but not to look at them without getting the message above.  I can also put in place a program to record, display the video thumbnail, but not play. Video files only will play are videos very select few years recorded only where there is.

    My graphics card is an ATI 2900XT - 512 MB of ram, with the latest drivers.

    I've seen a number of discussions on the web that describes the same (or similar) problem, but none of them seem to have no solution.

    I had Norton Internet Security installed and it has since withdrawn because of the firewall. I had thought, it could be a firewall issue, but it is not. I'm now using the Windows Firewall for now.

    I deleted and reinstalled the Xbox as an Extender media several times... no help. I have re-installed the complete drivers for the video capture card, it has not helped either. I checked and double-checked the settings on my router as well.

    The xbox is set for the share on my multimedia computer. The correct files can also be programmed for sharing.

    On the PC in Windows Media Center, I can view the TV programs, record programs etc etc etc all work.

    Any help would be really appreciated!

  • Manual lens correction works not properly.

    I am trying to correct the perspective of an image in lightroom or in the vertical and horizontal manual lens corrections are not working properly, they are extending to the image in a weird way. I used these cursors repeatedly but I don't know why sometimes, they stretch the image. Here's a video that shows the effect of cursors: Lightroom: manual lens correction works not properly - YouTube. I would like your opinion on this is that you know how I can solve this problem. Thank you

    Controls LR Vertical and Horizontal Correction lens are designed to 'fix' the perspective distortion. What is the perspective of "normal"?

    Normal lens - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Lenses wide angle move the vanishing points more far and telephoto lenses get the close.

    https://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Perspective_distortion_%28photography%29

    LR Vertical and Horizontal controls use the focal length and camera metadata from the image file and adjust the image based on its effective focal length. A goal of 200mm if on a 1.5 crop body factor has an effective focal length of 300mm, resulting in an extreme telephoto perspective. That's why you see more "stretch" the image when you adjust the Vertical control, with a focal length lenses below)<>

    The image file video YouTube has vertical converging vertical very light, slight clockwise rotation and distortion in light pad. You should be able to correct the image for parallel verticals with small values of Vertical and Rotation adjustment. I suggest using "Activate profile Corrections" (profile tab) to fix the small amount of lens distortion.

    So always questions please post the image file on Dropbox or other filesharing site and I'll take a look. Thank you.
