Problems of game Fallout 3 in Windows 8.

Original title: Fallout 3

The URL below supposedly provides a solution to the problems of Fallout 3 game in Windows 7 and later versions. FOR INFO.

As seen here and in the Steam games store, Fallout 3 does not work in Windows 7 and later versions. Many would like to play this game and buy it due to the recent release of Fallout 4. Steam is full of comments which States that the game does not work. I have a copy of the disc, and it does not work.

He said that the Bethesda developers do not fix the game. But Microsoft would provide a way to get the game to work? A question is the Games for Windows Live: I downloaded and installed, but it does not work.

The solution claimed in the URL below modifies / inject DLL of DirectX (only), making suggestion that DirectX can only be blamed.

Microsoft provide DirectX injector/configure layers because the injectors are very popular these days? I hope that the DirectX developers investigate these issues for a broader solution more.

  • Could not access Console in Fallout 3 in Windows Vista... How to disable MIRC?

    I bought the game Fallout 3 a few weeks ago and has recently wanted to access the game console command line, but the game does not recognize the support of the tilde (~) key.  I spent many hours trying to figure out why this is the case, and I got three main answers:

    1. change the size of the screen that you can 'see' the console command line.  The size of my screen was already the right size, and it has not resolved the question of 'recognition of tilde.

    2. find Fallout Notepad, locate the line AllowConsole = x (where x represents a number any) and change x 1.  I found the notebook and the line, but the value was already "AllowConsole = 1".  I changed the number 0 and then back to 1, to see if that would be 'reset', but still no use of the tilde in the game key.

    3 turn off the infrared remote Microsoft (MIRC) in the eHome folder.  It is the recommendation given to me by the works of Bethesda, the company that produced of Fallout 3.  However, when I asked what particular file searching (there nothing specifically named "infrared" whatever it is, nor do any application with a name sounding similar open when I clicked it), I was given the same two paragraphs already listed on the site Web of Bethesda, if there is no progress.

    My question is this; How find/disable the MIRC involved with the Windows Media Center/eHome?  OR... there at - it another method to allow recognition of the tilde key (~) so that in games like Fallout 3?  Because he was such a topic posted on other forums by users of Vista (on laptops, for the most part), I hope there are a few out there who have faced this problem before, and have a solution.  I run with a laptop Asus M51 series with Windows Vista, if that helps at all.  Any comments would be greatly appreciated!

    Hello YoungSolshee,

    In addition to what Jack said, when you press the tilde key, you hold the SHIFT key also.  Most of the time that the cheat console will not work unless you enter in the ~ symbol and not only hit / press.

    Please let us know how it works for you. Zack

  • Satellite M60-162: problem gambling (game)

    Hello
    I bought a Satellite M60-162 to use for work and a bit of entertainment (including games).
    It happens that all types of game, I installed (Medal of honor, C & C Generals, Nba live 2005, MS Flight simulator 2004) breaks down when it is run (just click on 'play' and after a while, the game crashes). The installation program ends normally, but every game crashes.
    The only game that works is 'The elder scrolls III - Morrowind '.
    I have updated with patches - if available - all games without any profit.
    I also updated the graphics (Ati mobility radeon 700) driver and installed the DirectX 9 .0c. Nothing has changed.
    Finally, I ran a test for the graphics system (3D Mark 360) to check if there were hardware problems. All tests have passed.
    I don't know what I could do to remedy this situation.
    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Hello

    Believe me it's not easy to say why it happens.
    It could be a driver problem or a software problem (game). The only way to know why it happens is to test the device with different settings. Try using a lower screen resolution during the games. Try to change the game settings.

    Windows XP performance settings that affect the visual appearance of the operating system, most of the games have buried in their menus of Options graphic settings. The trick is to find them.

    I found a very useful and interesting article how to optimize the parameters of play for performance and looks. Please click the link:

  • Not able to play the game Metro 2033 on Windows Vista-based computer.

    I just installed the game Metro 2033 on my Vista system that uses a 1080 screen.  In fact, I have two identical screens.

    The game requires activation Steam and Steam normally will attempt to update the program rather than simply enable it during installation.  This leaves a person in the dark as to what happens during the installation.

    It turns out, I use a 3G modem that Steam refuses to support their network of Bit Torrent, so download speed for an update of a concert is around 12 kb/s or 8 hours to make the point on a program that has not yet installed.

    After work, I was quite surprised to find that the program would not go on Steam.  He then took a few hours to find out that there is a solution, that I could load the game by running the executable file that had been installed in the directory Steam for Metro 2033.

    Unfortunately Metro2033, when started this default way a unknown screen resolution.  Thus when the game is started from the Steam directory nested, one gets a message "out of range" on the display of 1080 and nothing can be seen.

    Short of launching the game out, I tried the game again, to my great joy, the second run displays a safe mode issue and I ran it in safe mode.  It is quite an exciting game and I played it all night.  However, I had also contacted support original THQ regarding installation problem/solution.

    Then I fell asleep.  The PC was on.

    The next day, I played the 2003 Metro game again, but I entered in some difficult areas of the game, and I had to reload the saved game.  After awhile, I opted to exit the program.  Later, I started the program, but this time I inadvertently clicked on the Metro2033 icon who had installed Steam.   In my solution, I had pasted a link to the directory of Steam under the original icon and had pressed the wrong button.

    Of course, the first thing I saw, after playing the game for 12 hours, was "out of range".  I opted to return to the office...

    ... However I couldn't come back on the Vista desktop.  I have a 7000, and even Microsoft Entertainment keyboard by pressing the buttons of Windows or Media center wouldn't let me come back to the office.

    The day before, I needed to do this that I've experienced to workaround to start getting and I noticed that the only way I could get on the desktop to run the Task Manager to kill the out of range on my screen message has been to press the Media Center button.

    Once the Media Center menu on breaking the subway 2003 menu I could then enter the office and use the Task Manager.

    However, the next day when I inadvertently started the STEAM version, and again, the screen is become black and says 'Out of Range', I found that my system was stuck in this loop.  No way to get in the Manager of tasks at all, not even with the Media center button on my keyboard.

    Now the background of my question.  When I was forced to start my system again, I noticed the normal BIOS screen and the bar of Vista with Vista is loading, then the familiar sound of Vista boot, but now NO SCREEN at all on startup!  Now, something had inserted a driver in my Vista start which forced my display say "Out of Range" from the start of the desktop of Vista and Vista computer has not yet noticed this.  Normally, I would think that they claim that the screen resolution is wrong and put it on, instead, nothing else than the out of range message rigid or flexible boots.

    Original title: can someone tell me what happened here? Metro2033 and steam game.

    I checked by plugging my second monitor.   The system has Safe Mode startup and I was able to do a restore of the system from the previous day to evening to return to the office.   However, I am quite confused as to what happened.  How the Metro 2033 problem "out of range" migrate to Windows startup by running an update of Steam?

    I use the latest service pack for Vista.


    It seems that the STEAM snuck in an update and then everything worked fine.

  • Playing old games on (or in) Windows 7

    Is anyway to play older games which worked on Windows 95, 98, in or around Wondows 7?

    Thank you!!

    It is also a broad topic to give an appropriate response. You should restrict the question down to specific games that interest you. Each game has its own problems, and where you can find a patch to make the game compatible Windows 7 is very rare (some sites like the good old games, http://www.gog.com, offer copies remastered their favorites that are compatible - but which does not apply to all games you may prefer and is not free).

    Hello Vaishnav,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I see that you are having problems with Game Center on your iPhone. I have a number of things for you to try.

    First force quit Game Center.

    1. Press the Home button twice quickly. You will see small glimpses of your applications recently used.
    2. Swipe to the left to find the Game Center app to close.
    3. Swipe up on the preview of the Game Center to close.

    Force an app to close the iOS

    If this does not work, then the next step would be a restoration. I recommend restore like new, without backup restore and everything first. If it works there, you can restore the backup.

    Use iTunes to restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod to factory settings

    Best regards.

  • Installation problem: other updates and security for Windows Vista (KB981852)

    In my history of update, this update shows as installation again and again "with success" since August, but he is still listed as an update to install.  This also applies to Windows Vista Service Pack 2 (kb948465), who has reportedly updated several times and still is listed as an update.

    Some info: I'm currently using Norton 360 - like Firewall and antivirus.  I also run Spyware Doc.  I was attacked last year, computer failed and I had to wipe my computer. (Assistance with this manufacturer.)  I'm not sure it solved the problem.  Since then, I have had problems with the computer running the browser to leave/run slowly, slowly, the problems to open programs.  This may be due to the loop of 'Windows update '?
