  • Try to install the game 'Lights Out' (Adventure Company) on HP laptop under Vista with SP2.

    HP Pavilion dv9310us Notebook PC/1.0 GB Ram/Windows Vista Home Premium with SP2 installed / processor is AMD Turion 64 x 2 Mobile Technology TL-52 / no changes to the factory configuration

    Lights Out requires:
    OS: Windows 98/ME/2000/XP
    CPU: Pentium III 450 MHz or better
    RAM: 128 MB RAM (256 recommended)
    CD-ROM: 24 x CD-ROM Drive (or DVD of PC drive)
    Video: SVGA card graphics or better
    Sound: DirectX 9 Compatible Sound card

    Once I insert the disc in the drive, it starts to "work".  I disabled autorun because he was suspended when I inserted a disc.  So I open the folder on your computer and select the game and right click on "explore".  I then on the installation icon.  1.5 hours later, he finally asked me if I wanted to install the program (I've also implemented so need my permission before installing anything).  It's now 45 minutes (and still waiting) since he asked my permission to install the program, but if I didn't I had a program tried to install, I don't know.  In other words without box "Progress" or installation.

    Maybe I'm just too wait for Vista because this game was not "written" specifically for it?  Hell, more than an hour just to get to the point where he asks me if I want to install the program?  It seems to me that something is wrong somewhere.  Unfortunately I'm not well informed enough to understand.

    I tried defrag and 'cleansing' of the disk (C: drive, not the CD). I have even 50 GB free on a 100 GB drive, and there should be a lot of RAM.  Also, when I run the Task Manager, it shows the reader DVD RW as 'running', not 'does not.

    I * think * something is wrong somewhere in Vista, since the problem began with autorun hung when I inserted an installation disc.

    I would really appreciate any advice that anyone can have.  It's just not good.

    I was "Baby sitting" installation.  No dialog boxes have gone unnoticed.  I had the same problem with another game by the same company last night.  This game has been 'Dark Fall'.  As long that I left him alone, he finally got the game installed, but it took a lifetime to do.  I don't know if the problem is specific to this company or not.  I installed the last week several games download section of Amazon and Big Fish game, which none have given me no problem.  But they were all downloads, then these 2 games is basic disk.  Once Dark Fall WAS installed it worked fine.

    Thank you.  :)

    distantsmoke,
    According to the Windows Vista Compatibility Center this game is not compatible with Vista.  You can try to right click on the Setup file and run in XP compatibility.  If this does not help, then you should contact the game manufacturer for any updates\patches that would make it works with Vista.    Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

  • Dell Studio 1535 - Vista does not recognize 1397 wireless adapter

    Hello

    I had to reinstall Vista on my Dell Studio 1535 and the re-install, I wasn't able to connect to the wi - fi because apparently Vista doesn't recognize the card wireless site. In Device Manager, it lists the generic 'network controller' and has a question mark next to it.

    I installed system software Dell, Dell Notebook System software, Quickset, chipset drivers and the R206848 file that contains drivers of 1397, yet its still not recognized. What Miss me?

    Martin

    Thank you Rick. Still could not make it work this way, so ultimately I clicked on the generic and clicked Update Driver network controller and then said that he resembles c:\dell\drivers, and he finds the right driver and installed properly. Wireless now works!

  • Canon MP Navigator stopped working with scanner. Worked under Vista, not Win 7.

    Scanner Canon Lide 200 worked very well under Vista 64.  I've updated on Win 7 64 and the software interface has stopped working - "MP Navigator EX has stopped working".  That's a BEX error module fault MSONSEXT. DLL_unloaded.  I uninstalled, downloaded the newest and reinstalled, same problem.  Canon had me create a new profile, the program works in this profile.  Canon has written it's rights or licensing of the OS.

    The scanner works with other software.  MP Navigator is a resident program for making copies or copy and email, etc..

    Here are the details of the windows error

    I had the same problem with Win 7 64. I talked to Support Canon technique and after an hour in which we tested several things, I was told the problem was with Windows and I need to contact Microsoft. I tried to create a new profile that has fixed the problem for about a week, then he came back again! The question may be associated with Windows Update, but I'm not sure. On this last go I created a new profile and then copied to the folders and files from the corrupted profile one at a time to see when the problem would be to start over. After carefully copy of files, save, test Mp Navigator, and if necessary to restore the last good configuration I discovered that the following file was the cause of the problem:

    C:\Users\\App Data\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Network Shortcuts\My Web Sites on MSN

    Note: This file was not present in my new profile. In addition, the icon has the shortcut on that marker, but explore announces that it is a folder. There is no file extension.

    I then copied ALL the other bad profile data to the new and MP Navigator still worked! I then deleted the file in question from the wrong profile and MP Navigator started working there too!

    I then reconfigured all my software and IE etc for the first time by looking at the network shortcuts folder. The file in question has not yet reappeared. I made a shortcut to this place, I can keep an eye on it to see when it appears again.

    I hope someone at CANON or Microsoft will fix this issue of profile "corrupt."

    Sincerely,

    My Windows Vista loaded and runs MS Combat Flight Simulator V1 OK using the keyboard, in 'settings' program, he recognizes the joystick for calibration but joystick doesn't work just not in the game itself. I tried this fix below - but no luck. Any other ideas please?

    If you upgrade to Windows Vista, one of the things that you may find is that your older programs works under Vista. Many software publishers are working to release Vista compatible versions, but in the meantime, you can try running in Compatibility Mode applications.

    To do:

    1. open Windows Explorer.
    2. Locate the executable file of the application.
    3. right click on the executable, and then click the properties option.
    4. Select the Compatibility tab.
    5. Select run this program in Compatibility Mode option.
    6. in the drop-down list, choose the operating system that you ran before upgrading to Vista.
    7. If necessary, select run the program as administrator.
    8. click on OK.
