No sound in Max Payne

When I play Max Payne 1 under Vista music & dialogue during cutscenes or novel graphic only becomes active. But when I play the game from the same exe under XP (I have both mode dual boot), the game works perfectly well. I tried to run the game in Windows XP SP2 cmpatibility mode in vista, but without result. Please help me.

Swagoto,
By the official website of Max Payne:

Supported operating systems:
Windows 95 (OSR2 or later), Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000.

Although Max Payne was found to run on Windows XP, it has not been completely tested and therefore Windows XP is not officially supported.

So make it work under Vista may not happen.  I saw that there are some patches for the game.  So you can make sure you have all the patches and check with their taking in charge for any updates or information on what works under Vista.

  • Game Max Payne 2 with Windows 7

    Hello

    I just installed Max Payne 2 on my computor with Windows 7 and realized that this is one of my old games which is not compatible with this operating system!  I surfed autour, and it seems that there may be a solution to my challenge
    I tried to change the Compatible Mode for Wndows XP (Service Pack 2) with administrator rights, but the game will not launch!
    Can someone give me some advice, as Max Payne is awsome?

    Solution is to install windows 7 service pack 1!

    Installation in compatibility mode did not help either.

  • The sound is too low on Satellite L650 - 10G

    My new L650 - 10G, running on Windows 7 64 bit, is disappointing. I can live with that, but what is a problem, is that the peak power is poor. In other words, the volume of the ridge is not strong enough. It's probably fixable, because I don't know that the speakers can produce at a higher level, even if they are not very good.

    I have the latest audio drivers. Any suggestions - outside the use of external speakers?
    Thank you.
    Andy

    > But even taking into account, of low quality speakers, sound production max is too low

    This is a typical problem for laptop speakers. Fortunately, my model is equipped with Harmon Kardon and the sound is impressive. For you, I would recommend to get the external speakers...

  • Occasional buzzing sound during playback of music or new.

    This past week I noticed a humming noise - like when I play music, movies or new videos. It's more than a distortion of the sound like Max Headroom, that a real buzz. And it is not steady, just casual.  It is a four years, Dell Studio XPS 435 t/9000 with Win7 Pro 64. The audio is an integrated RealTek chip, not his own card. I have added a second hard drive last week, but others that I did not any changes.

    I have uninstalled/reinstalled audio drivers (twice).  I swapped the speakers.  I have downloaded and run the Dell Diagnostics software.   Nothing worked, it still happens. I'm puzzled. Anyone seen this before? Can it be fixed?

    Thank you

    Thanks for the help, Jeeped. You're right in that it was probably a problem of resources.

    I did as you suggested and turned off all non - Microsoft Services and startup applications. After the reboot, I did a sound check and everything was fine. Then I turned on four startup applications that I always use (Zone Alarm, Avast, battery backup Power Panel, Ad Fender), restart, and an audio verification. Still good.

    Then I started by reactivating the Services that I knew I wanted, reboot, all still good. When previously they were ALL checked, now there was only about half checked, and everything was fine. Those that I left without control was for the most part, the automatic software updates that are always on and question updates in the background. Of course, these services were keeping busy and hogging the resources needed elsewhere.

    So after a few reboots just to make sure that any change locked in, the sound was always clean. THEN I opened IE - 10, the browser that I use usually, and the distortion was back. So I closed and tried Chrome, and Firefox. None of these browsers created distortion. It was only IE - 10. I have certainly taken to heart your notion of "resources as long as the problem", I was thinking then that I had a bad IE-10 install, or something went wrong turned after an update. I checked my "use graphics" and IE - 10 was monopolizing everything.

    I uninstalled IE10 down to IE - 9. No deformation. Then did an install of IE - 10 instead of a simple update of IE - 10. Who took care of her. Something in the update IE-10 has been the origin of the problem. It took a lot of work, but what was needed was a complete installation, not just an upgrade. After talking to a buddy of mine at work that sometimes help in our IT Department, he said several desktop computers have had the same problem, and they thought it was the 'upgrade vs install' fix a few weeks back.

    I know this is a long answer, but I wanted to throw him out for you in case others run into the same problem and write about it. I can give more details if anyone wants them.

    Thank you very much, you got me on the right track.

  • Help on report with max and group of?

    Hello I need to display the next report

    SELECT THE TABLE TABLE_NAME, NOM_PARTITION, LAST_ANALYZED IN USER_TAB_PARTITIONS;
    However, I need to display the table table_name time with sound (partition_name) MAX current (assuming that the names are P2010, P2011, etc...) and when he was last_analyzed

    What is the most effective way to do it? Subselect statement? Inner join?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Using a GROUP BY:

    SELECT table_name,
           max(partition_name) as partition_name,
           max(last_analyzed) keep (dense_rank last order by partition_name) as last_analyzed
    FROM all_tab_partitions
    GROUP BY table_name
    ;
    

    Another solution would be a TOP - n query, using the ROW_NUMBER analytic function:

    SELECT table_name, partition_name, last_analyzed
    FROM (
      SELECT table_name,
             partition_name,
             last_analyzed ,
             row_number() over( partition by table_name
                                order by nlssort(partition_name,'NLS_SORT=BINARY') desc ) as rn
      FROM all_tab_partitions
    )
    WHERE rn = 1
    ;
    

    Note that I had to use the NLSSORT function to get the same result as the value that the query GROUP BY.
    Depending on your NLS DB/SESSION settings, you may not do.

  • Can not watch the game on Satellite A200-1DB

    Hello

    I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite A200-1DB with Intel Duo Core 1.86 GHz, 2 GB RAM (1 GB upgrade) and an NVIDIA GeForce GO 7300 TurboCache.

    I tried to watch the Warcraft 3 introductory video, but he seemed to miss the picture but the sound did not work properly. I tried to configure the video settings, which resulted in an accident. It may not be a problem if the game. I tried to watch the introduction of Max Payne video that showed Visual effects but whose sound.

    I tried to download several display drivers, but none of them seemed to work on this problem (from various locations such as NVIDIA, Toshiba, laptopvideo2go). What is the problem? I have to keep looking or switch to XP OS?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    If none of your intro´s games work... have you tried to update all THE drivers? Sometimes, do not display driver. (By the way, tried the omega drivers?).
    Perhaps it would be really good to download the audio driver from www.realtek.com and a codecpack
    from here-> www.free-codecs.com/download/K_Lite_Codec_Pack.htm

    In addition, I suggest you to restore your system before you install these drivers and just install the drivers and then the games to check if no doubt others software causes this error...

    Would appreciate feedback on your situation.

    See you soon

  • HP Envy 6-1210sw freezes

    Dear team,

    I recently bought a computer HP Envy of the ultrabook 6-1210sw, which I am very satisfied.

    What is annoing me however, are frequent, very short (0.5-1 sec) freezes. The operating system I use is Windows 8 64-bit pre-installed. The sound, as well as the video hangs for a little while, after that is quite normal. I noticed that behavior both on demanding 3d games (Far Cry, Max Payne 3), as well as ordinary playback of Youtube.

    I wonder if that has something to do with the built-in the Radeon HD8750 graphics card, as I noticed that discrete graphics cards are often the cause of some problems of HP laptops.

    I'll be very grateful for any assistance regarding the foregoing.

    Please come back to me

    It's a good point you raise. First of all, I want to you should check to make sure that the correct drivers are up-to-date, in case you have not already verified it that.

    Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver version 11.5.12.1002

    Version of the BIOS F.23

    Of course, it is less invasive step so you have already checked that. Let me know if you have. I looked at the Intel Control Center, but I'll have to do more research. It doesn't seem to be a lot of options really, immediately or to off. I'll look into it more, however. I would like to know how the update of the driver. I hope this information helps!

  • Its DTS can't find my headphone

    I have a problem with the sound dts, it randomly allows to switch between the headset and speakers output and when it is on the output speaksers the quality of the sound is terrible. When I have disbable dts audio I have no problem but then is not terrible sound quality.

    Hello

    The sound of the Studio DTS improves the sound quality (if his permit)

    You can set this improved sound internal speaker, 1 external (helmet) or external 2 (if connected external speakers)

    For each of the three modes, you can configure the sound surround, max volume and bass amplification.

    So according to the output device audio you use, you should choose the right DTS Studio Sound output mode.

  • Satellite P200-1FZ: Question about Vista performance index?

    I recently bought a P200D-128 announced as having 256 MB of memory graphic dedicated only to find only has a HD2400 with 128 MB card (the name must have been an idea, I know).

    I was looking for a model with 256 MB I had read that it was recommended for good graphics performance in Vista.
    On the P200-128 model Vista performance index showed:

    Processor: 4.8
    Memory: 5.9
    Graphics: 3.3
    Games graphics: 3.7
    Hard drive: 5.2

    If the overall score of 3.3 seems not be limited by the graphics performance.

    I now plans to upgrade this model to a P200-1FZ (which has a HD2600 with 256 MB memory card), but would like to know if it significantly improves the score of graphics and Vista performance index.

    If anyone has this model (or a relative) and could tell me the VEI score, I would be very grateful.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Just FYI: I Satellite P200D-111 with ATI Mobility Radeon X 2600 almost 5 months now. I use Vista Home Premium and to be honest, I'm quite satisfied with the performance of Vista. Up to now, I also tested with several games such as Call of Duty 2, Call of Duty 4, El Matador and older games like FarCry and Max Payne 2 WXP. It works perfectly.

    I like Call of Duty 4. He funs all simply fantastic. I do not even use complete running. At the moment I think to upgrade RAM to have better running OS. in the end, I can say one thing: for the reasonable price, I have large notebook.

    Good bye

  • Qosmio X 70 A 12 sudden fps drop

    Basically the title. Out of nowhere my Qosmio is underperforming by a draw. Used to have 100 to 120fps on LoL and stable performance on Borderlands 2/Max payne 3 for example still now I can't yet play 30 fps LoL. I updated my GPU drivers, nothing has changed. Any ideas?

    Looks like it could be probably switchable graphics, but it's weird, it's out of knowhere - check your Nvidea settings and make sure that your main GPU is defined to be used for the games and not the edge, it's happened before.

    Simply click the icon to access this Nvidea. If you have changed your drivers you may have reset the settings of the process.

    I prefer to put the * global * parameters for "processor Nvidea high performance"

    Also, check the power options of your computer (right click of the battery in the status bar icon) and make sure that it is set to high performance. Your computer could potentially revenue to a lower power state and if this is the case to happen on board graphics.

    If you don't have not already verified it that these things made me know how it goes!

  • New drivers of graphics card for Satellite P200

    Because Toshiba is not to update the graphic card drivers, I was wondering if anyone has tried using DH mobility modder found in [http://www.driverheaven.net/]

    I have the Satellite P200 x 16 with an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 and thank you

    I P200D with same graphics card and I always use Toshiba driver. I'm not focused on the game and for my favorite games like COD2, COD4, Max Payne 2, NFS Most wanted and El Matador is OK. the graphic performance is good and I didn't noticed any problem.

    Update driver graphic card just because of games?

    By the way: for mobile computing, it is always recommended to use s manufacturer drivers because these drivers are adapted to each model of mobile phone, and they also have an important function to protect the material and avoid overheating. With the help of a few other drivers graphics card can be forced to run on the upper limit. According to me, you know what can be the result of this.

    If you will have no problem after upgrading graphics card please do it let me know.

  • Preformance issues when you play on my Qosimo x 770

    Hello!

    I have problems of preformance by playing newer games on my Toshiba Qosmio x 770. Basically, everything works fine the first 30 to 45 minutes of play, but I'm suddenly start getting the temporary fall FPS, which usually lasts from 20 to 60 seconds before everything goes back to normal. The FPS fall occurs more frequently then the more I play, and eventuelly it comes to a point where I can't find it pleasant at all to continue playing. So far, this has happened when the game like Diablo 3, Max Payne 3 and Star Wars: The Old Republic.

    My suspicion is that my (Gefore GTX 560 M) graphics card gets overheated as the computer gets very hot. Case of overheating, I think that the clocks autoamtically graphics card down, that eventuelly causes my FPS drops.

    I thought that the updated for my video card drivers would solve this problem, but they don't have. (I'm running with the latest 301,42 downloaded from the Nvidias homepage). I even bought an external laptop cooler to better manage the temperature, but the only thing it does is to buy me another 5-10 minutes of play before the start of the late development.

    I'm not good with computers in some way, but I really want to get my money's worth when playing computer games. What could I do to fix this? Any help would be much apprecited.

    Hello

    Graphic frame drops have been resolved by the BIOS updated
    You should check that the Qosmio X series forum there is a long thread on this topic.
