Problems of causing classic vista of gel-crash games or force him to leave Windows (vista 64, multi-core)

I have problems running games on new computer (and some older) on vista 64-bit. Either the game starts to slow down and "jump" a bit, until she (usually) suddenly freezes (also sound), while single force-rotation - in the distance, the computer is the option. Another time a game just leaves for windows where a message arrives "is a problem and the program must be closed. Is this a classic vista problem? The computer is multi-core. Should I upgrade to Win7?

Hi Mhusoy,

Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

You have installed the latest drivers for the graphics card?

Is - what your computer crashes alone while you play games or of otherwise?

You can if check if the games you try playing are compatible with Windows Vista or not. Follow the link and check the details.

http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-Vista/default.aspx

You try to install the games you play in Windows XP mode and check if you get the same question.

Run the program compatibility Wizard

  1. Open the program compatibility Wizard by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, clicking programs, and then clicking use an older with this version of Windows program.
  2. Follow the instructions in the wizard.

If you are unable to install a program, insert the installation for the program and, using the wizard disk, navigate to the program setup file, usually called Setup.exe, Install.exe, or something similar. The wizard is not designed to work on programs that have an .msi file name extension.

For more information follow the link below.

Make older programs in this version of Windows

Hope this information is useful.

  • Vista updates causing interference day and PC crashing.

    Greetings,

    I have a tiny little problem. It seems that the new updates for Windows Vista has been causing some intolerable freeze and crash my PC. I don't understand quite updates are causing it. How ever I can officially say that BEFORE I updated my machine it worked almost perfect (except for the graphics). I won't be pesmistic, it really worries me. On top of her crashing and freezing. I also noticed a sufficient amount of gain and loss data. I.E. I have several backups of games on pc before I played. but when I'm done with extracting files and remove approximately "20" of them only '13' will do for the recycling bin, so my (OS - operating system) * HDD partition * wins extra/hidden files. I also noticed that my PC has not been suggested to download SP2 from the Auto Update Center. I had to recover this file manually on the microsoft site. Please explain this problem and please not to recommend a re-installation of the operating system... I have already this is plenty of time to do it either.

    I have a problem with a Gamehouse game

    Talked to them and they say that it is a problem of compatiablity with Vista. It's Super Jigsaw Puzzle and I the hours worked in several puzzles and now when I try to go inside he closes Super Puzzle. This is frustinating because I've uninstalled and reinstalled the program 3 times, it does not help. Is that what I can do to fix this problem in Vista? I have all the updates except IE 8.  We like IE7, but all the other updates sent we have.

    If it is a program downloaded and installed, read this:

  • I've had my laptop for a year, and it is currently running Windows 7 Professional. I recently had a problem that causes the black screen

    I've had my laptop for a year, and it is currently running Windows 7 Professional. I recently had a problem that causes the black screen randomly with the screen turned on (I mean everything is black and I can't see a thing, but can still see the light of the LCD screen). This often happens when I open/close a window, browsers web example, the records, or even during the boot. I want to know how to solve this problem and if the upgrade to Windows 10 works for her.

    Hi Haolin,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I do not understand that the screen goes black randomly, and I'll be happy to answer your query. Let me ask you;

    • What is the brand and model of the computer?
    • Remember to no particular change in the computer before the show?
    • When was the last time it worked?

    Video card problems are the most common cause of this problem.

    Try the following troubleshooting procedures in the order. If the steps described in the first procedure does not resolve the problem, continue to the next procedure.

    Step 1: Reinstall your video driver

    1. Right click on the bar tasks and then click Start Task Manager.

    2. Click on the processes tab, click explorer.exe, and then click end process.

    3. Click file, and then click new task (run).

    4. In the text box open, type explorer.exe, and then click OK.

    5. Click on the Start button , go into the Device Manager in the start search box, and then, in the search results, click on the peripheral Manager.
    6. Double-click on display the cards, right click the display device, click Update driver software, and then follow the steps in the wizard that appears. You can also visit the website of the manufacturer of the computer support and install the latest available graphics cards for the same model of computer you have.

    Note: After the driver is re-installed, you may need to restart your computer to complete the installation. You may also need to adjust the resolution of the display to its previous value. For more information, see change your screen resolution.

    Step 2: Search for registry problems

    1. Right click on the bar tasks and then click Start Task Manager.

    2. Click on the processes tab, click explorer.exe, and then click end process.

    3. Click fileand then click new task (run)

      In the text box open, type explorer.exe, and then click OK.

    4. Click on the Start button , type regedit in the search box, and then, in the search results, click on regedit.exe.
    5. Navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

    6. Click to select the WinLogon key and then in the right pane, click on Shell. The value of shell in the data column must be explorer.exe. If the value of Shell is not explorer.exe, double-click Shell, and then, in the value data text box, type explorer.exe, and then click OK.

    7. Close the registry editor and restart your PC.

    Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: How to back up and restore the registry in Windows

    If this procedure resolves the issue, you are finished. If this is not the case, proceed to the next set of steps.

    Step 3: Start the computer in safe mode and run system restore

    1. Click on the Start button , click the arrow next to Shut Down, and then click restart.
    2. Do one of the following:

      • If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then stop and restart your computer.

      • If your computer has more than one operating system, use the arrow keys to select the operating system you want to start in safe mode, and then press F8.

    3. In the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to select Safe Mode, and then press enter.

    4. Log your computer with a user account with administrator rights. When your computer is in safe mode, you will see marked Safe Mode in the corners of your screen.

    5. Click on the Start button , type "System Restore" in the search box, click System Restore, and then click Next. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    6. Choose a restore point when your PC worked as expected, click Next, and then click Finish.

    7. Restart your computer normally.

    Important: When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed after this date are deleted.

    If these steps resolve the issue, you are finished. If not, try to repeat the steps and chooses an older restore point (if available). If that does not resolve the problem, contact your computer manufacturer or the technical support for further assistance.

  • LabVIEW 8.6.1 AMD Multi Core Crash with call loops

    Hi all

    I tried, but I couldn't find all the messages with my exact situation.  Here it goes:

    I have a multi-core AMD Phenom 64 processor and I'm running Windows 7 64 and I am running an application in LabVIEW 8.6.1 in compatibility mode.  (I know, not a good idea)  I have a pretty complex application with several timed loops and the different ways to talk to FieldPoint (FieldPoint 6.0.6 and experimentation with Modbus talk to cFP-180 x).  You may be wondering why I'm using call loops.  It is an application of RT which can also run on Windows using structures conditional disable, etc.

    I had met sporadic crashing earlier in my files executable for more than a year and used a lvalarms.dll in only patched version my executables.  It was on a totally different processor and we were running Vista at that time.  Now, I notice a very similar behavior on 8.6.1, except now the development environment all crashes or breaks down my executable compiled as well.

    I found this KB, but he was referring to problems observed on LabVIEW 8.5, and the utility of the OS is only for Windows XP.  As recommended in the KB, I used BCDEdit to set the flag onecpu and now everything seems to work normally.  My PC is now significantly slower, however, and I wonder if there is another workaround solution that I might be able to try.

    If you have read so far and who have followed my description you already have my gratitude.  If anyone else has experienced this?  Someone at - it ideas?

    Thank you very much

    Jim

    Alright.  In case someone else runs into this apparently dark scenario, here's workaround solutions I've found:

    1. see if the problem goes away by setting the processor affinity using the Task Manager. Open the Task Manager, look under the "Processes" tab and right-click on the process. (for example LabVIEW.exe or your executable)  Under the context menu which select "set affinity...". "and select only the CPU 0.  In my case, I have a quad-core processor, so I up to four logical processors that are displayed in the dialog box that results.

    Run your application code or the executable file for a while, and if everything seems to be stable, it would seem that you have isolated the problem successfully.

    2. one of the solutions is to disable additional logical processors for the entire operating system, although there may be negative implications on performance.  In this case, try the steps in the lower part of this KB.  I have Windows 7, so I used the utility of command-line bcdedit with no problems.

    3. Finally, a really interesting option that is well worked for me should automatically set the affinity of the processor for each individual process.  There is at least a utility available to achieve this.  I've now changed my LabVIEW 8.6 shortcut to call RunFirst, which sets the processor affinity for LabVIEW to automatically use the first logical processor.  This way I can still use my processor image for all it's worth except in applications that have problems with it.

    I hope this helps someone else out there one day.

    People,

    I have a Dell Inspiron 19. The Dell of Dell diagnostics disk utilities & drivers say all right. It is a Seagate 320 GB drive. I installed the drive on another computer and used sea tools to erase the disc.  Then I created a partition and marked as "bootable".
