Panzer General 2 windows 7

Hi all

I have an old favorite game that worked on all versions of windows from DOS 3.1 to XP but now does not work on Windows 7.

The game's Panzer General 2 by SSI, original, released in approximately 1997 CD (I think).

When I try to install it on Win7, I get the following messages:

The program or feature "\?". \D:\SETUP. "EXE" cannot start or run due to incompatibility with 64-bit Windows versions... Please contact the seller of softeware to ask if there is a compatible version of Windows 64-bit. "

I click on OK, then I get:

Didn't work: result: 216

I cannot find a compatible version of 64 buit - please help - I love this game...

Thank you

Rich

I'm sorry, but as says the error message, you cannot run this program under Windows 7 64-bit. You can try an emulator LIKEDOSBox . MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • Windows Vista 64 and games SSI Panzer General

    I have all the old games SSI Panzer General General of the population and Steel Panthers.  Is it possible to get these games running under Windows Vista 64 or even Windows 7 64 bit?  I've been all over the web, and it seems that some people do, but none of the links seem to help me.  They are all download sites and I want to use my original CD

    Hi Flakburst,

    I suggest you check with the manufacturer for compatibility of the game as well as for assistance on the issue.

    If the game is not compatible so that you can run the game in compatibility mode.

  • Execution of Command & Conquer Generals on Windows 7

    I've recently updated my computer to Windows 7. I played this game before on this computer before the upgrade. I tried running the program compatibility and upgrade my DirectX. Y at - there a patch or something I could do to play this game? This is one of my favorites. Thank you.

    Casey,
    C & C Generals shows compatible with Windows 7.  Make sure that all your drivers are up to date and try again.  If you have a problem after updating all the drivers, then you must contact EA support to see if there is a patch\update for the game.

  • So what is the story in general on Windows 7 and the HP C7280?

    It doesn't seem like HP wants to support the C7280 well.  There are v12 drivers/software still lacks for this printer.  I have resolved on the wireless and the ink cartridge levels.  And now there is the prospect of a migration to Windows 7 and which will bring?  At this point, I'm sure now that if HP is behind supporting this printer I will be dropping them.  Also, I am sure that I have will resist past Windows 7 for as long as possible.

    Yes, the printer didn't need v.12 software. IMO, it works very well with v.10, which is the most recent for it. And if anyone needs the v.12 software, then I said how. Maybe engineers are too busy to test and develop Windows 7 drivers they put away from v.12 update printers.

    I will talk about this one yet: the C7280 is NOT obsolete. It will probably be in about 2 years or more. But at the present time, it is certainly NOT obsolete.

  • Install Windows on SMU-8133 (with time real operating system already installed)

    Hi all

    I have an SMU-8133 NI with a real-time operating system (OR Real - Time PharLap 13.1). Now I want to install Windows on it and make it dual-boot (I want to keep the original real time operating system). So my question is how do I install Windows without erasing the current real time operating system?

    I tried to just install Win7 (starting from USB) but it says "Windows cannot be installed on disk 0 Partition 1" because she needs NTFS (what we have is the FAT I think). If Win7 is unavailable, Windows XP is also correct, but I still prefer Win7.

    Thank you!

    As a general rule, Windows don't play well with other operating systems installed on a drive, there will be some efforts to preserve the existing installation of RT OS if it is a requirement.  The simplest approach would be to wipe the entire disk, installing Windows and then reinstall LabVIEW RT.

    If you can start from scratch, you must first make sure that the partitioning is correct.  Since you did not purchase this as a Windows / controller dual boot RT initially, you do not have Windows installation media OR, correctly configure the partitions from disk for you.  You will need to do this manually during the installation of Windows.  The best approach is to create two partitions, one for the RT and a Windows.  RT the partition must be the first partition on the disk.  Install Windows on the second partition.  Once Windows is installed, convert the 1st partition to FAT32 using the built in Windows or a 3rd party partitioning tool utilities.  You should now have a system with Windows installed correctly and ready to be fitted to RT.

    Change your SMU-8133 to boot RT using the BIOS Setup menu or hardware DIP switch.  It should boot to safemode RT.  From another host PC, find your target in MAX.

    You can now put your target if you want to switch to the FAT32 file system the system of dependency files.  You can do this through MAX, or by using the utility RT USB key.  See herefor details on this step.

    Warning: Before doing this, ensure a MAXIMUM target shows already the correct amount of disk space for partition 1, you created.  If the RT operating system can see a usable partition (FAT32 or dependency) it will set up only that partition by avoiding to touch the rest of the disc.  If the 1st partition is not used, the formatting process will claim rather all of the disk because no usable partition has been found, and you may lose your Windows installation.

    After that, you can perform the installation of the RT of MAX software as usual.

    If you try to preserve your existing installation, you can try to combine the above process with one of the options available for the creation and restoration of RT disk images, although I am not very familiar with these tools and can not comment or creating an image on a single disk partition and restaurant then a disc multi-partition will be successful.  Here is a good linkto start with which describes the options available.

  • Customers light rdp to windows server 2012

    Hello

    I have a client with a Windows Server 2003 32-bit server acting as a mail server & DC, but also make nightly backups.

    Users run desktop computers as well as laptops at the office, with some of them (sometimes) connect to the network from remote locations.

    I am currently looking at upgrading their environment, in upgrading the server to 64-bit Windows 2012 and add Thin Clients for desktop users, so they can connect directly to the server that will help reduce overhead costs (such as the failure of HARD drive on desktop computers).

    The question I have is if this Setup will work? Basically, I'm interested in Windows Server 2012 Server Essentials or Standard 64-bit with the necessary amount of RDP CAL this server will run exactly as the server running from 2003, in what will be the domain controller, Exchange server & perform nightly backups. In addition to this, I want to install MS Office with the necessary quantity of licenses.
    However, I would like to know if it will work or if I am looking at a catch which will prevent users to connect to the server? Or office giving problems if Word is open for a user, it will not be open for the user to one another (the same issue with Outlook & Excel etc.)?

    If there is no potential problem that prevents this configuration to work, can someone please point out to me what will be the problem and if there is a solution?

    TIA

    Hi HBrown Gordon,

    In order to focus more on your particular situation, I shared your post to a new thread.

    Please take a look at the following information through Wunders in a previous post:

    The work of Windows Explorer is to consider what is in the disk and its directory and present this information to the user.  If the disk or the disk directories are corrupted, it confuses Windows Explorer and can lead to lock.  Whenever Windows Explorer crashes, the first step should be to achieve a check disk (chkdsk) with the /f or/r option.

    "How to perform disk error in Windows XP check"
      <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315265 >

    Check disk can usually take hours depending on the speed and the size of the hard drive.  If corruption is present, it may take more time.  Plan on execution of the audit during the night or when you won't need your computer for awhile.  In addition, if corruption is present, files may be lost.  If possible, save what you can before you run the disk check.

    Hope that helps!

  • The Microsoft/Windows Update errors and updates failed.

    I just had to make YET ANOTHER Destructive full restore my win Vista PC, regular and continuous errors and problems caused by who knows what and the fact that the system restore never worked once in 10 years of friggin! My PC tries to run Win' Vista (SP2) and all the new updates that are applied after SP2. I also run Norton Internet Security (fully updated). I would like to re - install Office 2007 again once more, but I'm reluctant to until I get an answer to the following problem, because whenever I have re-installed Office 2007 I get Office update errors as well. I do not yet have enough away with this recovery to even think about re - install "other apps" again. My problem is that a heck of a lot more than several updates that were 'available' over time since I bought this pc (which didn't even have SP1 on it when I bought it new), do not have more than several times. Finally, it seems that these updates failed stop appearing as 'available '. Currently failed updates are: IMPORTANT: KB974468; KB2729449; KB2742595; RECOMMENDED: Windows Live Essentails 2001. OPTIONAL: Bing Office 1.3.1. also failed (the current version is 1.3.3...).

    My concern about all these multiple failed updates is that if these updates ARE important, whereas they should, and at the very least, not failed to install the first time which must be installed with success the next time. There are at least 40 + other these updates on my pc (of all types) who failed the first time, but succeeded (according to Windows Update), the second time. After doing a search and try to install these updates above manually from the Microsoft Download Center, I got a response that these updates "are not" or "are blocked by another condition on my computer. What 'State' is probably I wonder? Makes me think anyone or whatever decide an update IS important for a particular system is wrong either (and the update is NOT important at all) and so it does not yet appear in the list of "update available", or it IS important and there is another unknown or error "NO that does NOT exist. preventing the update to be applied. I say no because maybe this unknown error also cites a number of error that is not found by the completely useless online "windows help and support!

    If an update is NOT or is no LONGER available, then why hell is he always recommended! ??? In all cases, "Windows Live Essentials 2011" settles, and looking for 'help' by selecting "get help with this error" I am taken to the "windows help and support" line (which doesn't help at all). That's because this 'aid' shows only 26 'results' and NONE of them include error numbers (800706... and two instances of 66A) city. ANY help will be VERY much appreciated (epecially on the part of MVP, who have been a great help in the past) cordially Andy Bob :) :) :) :)

    Let's start from the beginning.

    Lets first see what happened with your drive.

    Start - All Programs - Accessories - right on command prompt and choose run as administrator. Type (or copy and paste by clicking in the command prompt window and choose Paste).
     
    change c:\bootex.log
     
    What is this file exist with something in it?
     
    The following commands query the event logs.
     
    To start verification by using the name of the source for any version of Windows (because it varies).
     
    WMIC /append:"%userprofile%\desktop\DiskEvents.html" PATH Win32_NTLogEvent where (sourcename = "Autocheck" or sourcename = 'Winlogon' or sourcename = "WinInit") get format:HForm
     
    To run chkdsk in Windows.
     
    WMIC /append:"%userprofile%\desktop\DiskEvents.html" PATH Win32_NTLogEvent where (sourcename = "Chkdsk") to / format: HForm
     
    For warnings about disk problems detected during normal operations and automatic repairs by Windows at the time where the problems were discovered.
     
    WMIC /append:"%userprofile%\desktop\DiskEvents.html" PATH Win32_NTLogEvent where (sourcename = "NTFS" or Sourcename = 'Disc') to / format: HForm
     
    Then to view the created file.
     
    Start "" "% userprofile%\desktop\DiskEvents.html"
     

    Copy and paste it here. Again run the commands again after doing the below.

    Then to test the equipment.

    Standard hardware troubleshooting
     
     
    First to test we can the material. Material defects can appear as many software defects, that's why we need to test the material first...
     

    Follow these steps in order. Defects of memory can cause disk corruption, disk failures can cause corruption of the disk. Damaged disc causes corrupted files (which SFC may be able to fix). If you get a stop error and after return. Do not run chkdsk with faulty memory.

     
    Diagnosis of memory
    If you have not run a diagnosis of memory, please do. Click on Start - Control Panel - choose Classic view in the left pane - choose Administrative Tools - then memory diagnostic tool.
     

    S.M.A.R.T
    Start - All Programs - Accessories - right on command prompt and choose run as administrator. Type (or copy and paste by clicking in the command prompt window and choose Paste).
     
    Disk in Windows drives monitor for impending failure. The function is called S.M.A.R.T. It detects an imminent failure, 30% of the time. In a type elevated command prompt (it's a single line)
     
    WMIC PATH MSStorageDriver_FailurePredictStatus /namespace:\\root\wmi get active, predictfailure, reason List
     
    If it is on will be true, otherwise on enable in the BIOS of the computer.
     
    Predict the failure must be False if everything is ok.
     
    In Vista and later if SMART failure predicted Windows prompts the user to run the backup.
     
    Run chkdsk
    In computer all your drives right click and choose Properties, then the Tools tab, and then click check now. Check the TWO boxes and then start. Reset. This will take from one day to the next.

     
    SFC
    Check the alteration of the file by clicking on Start - All Programs - Accessories - right on command prompt and choose run as administrator. Type (or copy and paste by clicking in the command prompt window and choose Paste).
     
    sfc/scannow
     
    Heat
    Heat can lead to problems of this kind, and sudden restarts without crashing. Make sure that your fans are not clogged with dust.
     
    For memory diagnostic results
    Click on Start - Control Panel (and select Classic view in the left pane), select Administrative Tools and then Event Viewer , and then look in the event (Local) - Applications and Services - Microsoft - Windows - MemoryDiagnostic-results Viewer entered.
     
    Look for EventID is 1201 or 1101 and Source is MemoryDiagnostic-results

     
    Double-click the entry for more details on this entry.

    For results of Chkdsk
     
    You can ignore this if you performed the first series of commands again.
     

    Click on Start - Control Panel (and select Classic view in the left pane) choose Administrative Tools and then Event Viewer , and then look at the Application and the System will connect (under Windows logs) for entries.
     
    Look for EventID is 7 and Source disk
    Look for EventID is 11 and the Source disk
    Look for EventID is 50 , and the Source is disk
    Look for EventID is 51 and Source disk
    Look for EventID is 52 and Source disk

    Look for EventID 55 and Source is NTFS
    Look for EventID is 130 and Source is NTFS
    Look for EventID is 134 and Source is NTFS
    Look for EventID is 137 and Source is NTFS
    Look for EventID 1001 and Source is Autochk
    Look for EventID 1001 and Source is Winlogon
    Look for EventID 1001 and Source is WinInit
    Look for EventID 1001 and Source is Chkdsk
    Look for EventID is 26212 and Source is Chkdsk
    Look for EventID 26213 and Source is Chkdsk

    Look for EventID 26214 and Source is Chkdsk
    Double-click the entry for more details on this entry.
     
    PS 7 and 55 are auto repair codes where windows repair disk errors silently on the fly. 52 is the SMART warning.
     
    If the results are transferred to the startup time events logs chkdsk, then the results are probably in the following file c:\Bootex.log. This file is removed when the results are placed in the event logs.

     
    For the results of the SFC
    Start - All Programs - Accessories - right on command prompt and choose run as administrator. Type (or copy and paste by clicking in the command prompt window and choose Paste).
     
    findstr/c: "[SR] cannot" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log|more "
     
    It will be able to see which files are corrupted.
     
    To see if there
     
    findstr/c: "[SR] repair" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log|more

     
    There are often false positives for small text files that Windows uses like settings.ini and desktop.ini. Ignore these.
     
     
    You say that you have had continuous problems. But if you want to jump the gun to fire a bit.
     

    More details about the error

    To decode 0 x 80070002. X 0 means that it is a hexadecimal number, 8 , error, the first 7 means it a windows error and the rest of Eastern 2, the number, the Windows error.
     
    To search for the error message we need to decimal format. Start the Calculator (Start - All Programs - Accessories - calculator) and choose the menu display - scientific, then the menu display - Hex. Enter 2 Menu display - decimal. It will say 2.
     
    Start an command prompt (Start - All Programs - Accessories - command prompt) and type
     
    net helpmsg 2
     
    and it will say
     
    The system cannot find the specified file.
     
    Use Notepad to search for FATAL and and the specific error code (for example, 80070002) in C:\Windows\Windowsupdate.log.
     
    Windows errors (smallish numbers) and COM HRESULT values (in general, but with exceptions, start with an 8 as 0 x 80040154) are defined in WinError.h, except 8007nnnn where you are looking for the error Window number it contains.
     
    As a general rule, Windows errors are less than 65 535 (0xFFFF). Errors from 0 x 80000001 are HResults Component Object Model (COM). Errors from 0 xC0000001 NTStatus results.
     
    NTStatus errors (usually, but not always to start with a C as 0xC0000022) are defined in NTStatus.h.
     
    the .h files are the best source because it includes the symbolic name of the error that can give clues such as the source of the error
    . FormatMessage does not have the symbolic name as the description.
     
    You get these files by downloading the kit of Development Platform (that's gigabytes)
     
    If you just want the two files I have them on my skydrive so I can reference anywhere I want.

  • Problems with reorded/live TV in Windows Media Center/player

    Having recently updated the drivers for my graphics (Nvidea GeForce GTX 460 SE) Windows Media Player/Center refuses to show any video image during an attempt to play live TV or TV recorded previously. I only get audio.
    My drivers are up to date and the only thing I can think that I've changed has been updated my graphic drivers. This is television shows that were working before.
    I have been using a third-party program to play these in the meantime, but obviously it is not compatible with my remote windows.
    Any suggestions?

    If it all started after updating the graphics driver, you can easily restore the driver.

    Try to card tv tuner driver update. Visit the tv tuner card manufacturer's Web site to download and install the latest version of the driver.

    Another thing, you could try resets WMC: -.

    Run the Setup again.

    Open WMC > tasks > settings > General > installation Windows Media Center > rerun the installation

    Does that help?

    If the above does not help then try to reset WMC: -.

    Open Control Panel > uninstall a program > turn Windows features on or off > scroll multimedia features > uncheck the box against Windows Media Center > follow the instructions on the screen > Reboot > open again to turn Windows features on or off in the control panel > scroll multimedia features > check the box against Windows Media Center.

    Now reconfigure WMC again.

    I would also suggest you to uninstall any third-party application you are using at the moment.
