Rome: Total War: Barbarian Invasion - does not work in Windows 7

I recently bought a new PC (Dell) with Windows 7 pre-loaded. My Barbarian Invasion game seems to install OK, but when I try to run it, I get an error message "failed to initialize 3D audio! I have no idea what that means or how to fix it. I tried to run the program in compatibility mode, but it makes no difference. Any thoughts? Thank you. Baggy.

Hi Baggy212,

You run Windows 7 32-bit or 64-bit?  If it is 64 bit then it has not been determined yet whether the game will be compatible with it or not.

There are a few other things you can do to get the game to work, please see the link below for some helpful tips:

  • Jet 7 Tablet 5709: HP Jet 7 touch screen does not work in Windows even if it works in the BIOS menu advanced starup

    Less than two months ago, I upgraded my HP Jet Windows 7 to 10. Over time some questions popped up (random apps that could not be opened, etc.) so I decided to do a full reset, deleting the files from the user. Once the 'install' process is complete he brought me to the initial configuration for Windows 10 screen, asking me my keyboard and language preference. He would not accept any contact entry. I rebooted it and he went to the advanced configuration where I could use the touch screen to do a complete reset. That has not changed anything. I found the info on the HP website and did a reset of the BIOS. That has not changed anything. I got an OTG cable, but was not able to get a keyboard work. I did, however, get a mouse works and has managed to create a new user and login. However, the touchscreen does not work in Windows. I was able to get into the settings and looked at the Device Manager settings. There was only a mouse driver listed under Human Interface. I also noticed a number of question marks in the subtopic of the processor drivers.

    I was able to use the OTG cable to try to re - install Windows 10 from a USB key. When a similar initial settings (language, keyboard) screen broke, I couldn't use the touchscreen. Later, I created a USB with Windows 8.1 thinking he might have a better chance. The same problem. He does not touch inputs. And with a key USB installed via the OTG cable, I can't launch a mouse at the same time.

    It is strange that I have not the problem in the BIOS or advanced startup options. It seems that there is a corruption somewhere, but how do I fix?

    Hello Moronihah,

    You did a clean install (delete all files and programs) the 2nd time you reinstalled Windows 10?

    That's what you need to do first.

    Then, you have to go to the HP website and install the drivers on your USB.

    Above all, you need to include the Goodix Touch Controller Driver and pilot, allowing Malta G-Sensor.

    You're using a hub 4 ports with your OTG cable? Which will allow you to use the mouse, the keyboard and the entire USB drive.

  • Qosmio G30 - Media center remote control does not work in windows

    Dear all,

    I have a Qosmio G30-194,
    first I had a problem with VGA, send it for repair, when she comes back, I noticed that the remote does not work on windows Media Center, while that in A / mode V work perfectly.

    I tried a full system recovery DVD restore, but nothing has changed, even, I installed Windows Vista with all its pilots.
    Nothing has changed too, I borrowed a USB IR received for another remote that it worked perfectly with my remote on windows.

    Please advise me what to do, should I send it to the service center, or there is an easier solution.

    NB:,: my laptop info are:

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    > first of all, I had a problem with VGA, send it for repair, when she comes back, I noticed that the remote does not work on windows Media Center, while that in A / mode V work perfectly.

    If you had a problem with the VGA chip then the whole motherboard has been replaced.
    Maybe it has something to do with your problem.

    Anyway, as far as I know you don t need any special drivers if you want to use the MCE Remote control. For the use of the remote control with Qosmio player you need to connect a USB infrared.

  • Satellite A505-s6970: Toshiba Service Station does not work on Windows 7

    Hey guys I need your help,

    I installed windows 7 ultimate on my toshiba Satellite A505 s6970 and I downloaded all the drivers from http://www.csd.toshiba.com/ and I installed all.

    When I open the Device Manager, 3 devices are not installed (Base-2 system device / / 1-Unknown device).
    Then I installed toshiba service station (Windows Vista / 7 32-64 bit because my windows is 64) it will search for and automatically download all necessary devices, but it does not work on windows 7, it worked perfectly in windows vista.

    Also the eco utility does not work, and the media touch buttons work just fine, but without giving that voice tone.

    Thanks for your help

    Hello

    To be honest I have no experience with this tool.
    I m using Tempro.

    However, I guess that Toshiba service station was not tested and not designed for Win 7 at the moment.
    You may need to wait for the next update that works correctly with Windows 7.

    You must understand that the Windows 7 drivers have been released in Beta version, it would mean that the final version would be released in the near future
    In my opinion, you should take a look from time to time on the Toshiba page we.
    I noticed that each new day pilot is released and released.

  • 1670 CDS satellite - modem does not work on Windows 2000

    Hi-

    I removed the Toshiba W98SE and installed Win 2000 (new installation). I managed to put it on the audio driver using downloads on your website (and it works).

    I do a test on the dial installation upward and that you have installed the modem also since your website (Conexant Soft K56 Data, Fax PCI Modem). This is intended for W98SE but microsoft message is

    The port looks ok. Please advise - is it the right driver?

    Thank you.

    A Windows 98 driver does not work on Windows 2000. Therefore, you need a new driver for Windows 2000.

    I have checked the Toshiba site but your model no available Windows 2000 driver exists.
    I think you have to search the site of the factory of the modem. Maybe you can find a driver or another portable model that has the same modem.

    Good luck!

  • Bluetooth does not work on Windows in Satellite C660-A047

    I have a problem with my laptop (satellite c660-A047) Bluetooth does not work on windows (7 and 8), but it works very well under Linux (Ubuntu, Fedora, Backtrack).

    I have an outgoing method :) to do run on windows, start Linux Live then set the Bluetooth adapter to the off State, and then reboot (do not stop, restart only), and then start windows this time this Bluetooth adapter works great and updated automatically in the Device Manager.

    To use Bluetooth on windows I have to do the same steps: (.)

    If someone wants to know all the details to help me solve these curious case, I will be grateful.

    Thanks, looking forward to hearing from you soon.

    The laptop supports Wlan Atheros / module combo BT.
    This means that a single module shares WiFi and BT connectivity.

    Using Win 7 you must add the additional drivers called filter for driver Atheros BT package.
    So first the Atheros WLan driver must be installed, secondly Atheros BT filter after battery Toshiba BT.

    To help to win 8, you must install two components of driver manually to enable the Bluetooth feature: System Toshiba + Atheros Bluetooth driver driver filter

  • Satellite A210 (PSAEG) - Microphone does not work on Windows 7 64 bit

    Hello, the microphone does not work on windows 7 64-bit, the driver that I use is 64-bit Windows Vsta. The volume is implemented maximum and so is the amplification but no way to make it work with the software assistant camera Skype or toshiba.
    Can someone help me?

    Thank you

    Hi Largo09,

    Usually, you need to install the webcam driver and sound to get the microphone working. The microphone is a part of webcam

    As you wrote, Satellite A210 is not Windows 7 64 bit supported, so the only option you have the Vista 64 bit drivers

    In my opinion, you should check if the Microphone is turned on in Windows audio settings. There you can also activate the Microphone Amplifier, which can increase the volume of the microphone.

  • Qosmio F50-126 - Subwoofer does not work in Windows 7

    My subwoofer does not work in Windows 7.

    That didn't activate it because I don't think the pulse of air, that I used to get under Vista. What driver am I missin?

    I don't have this model laptop but it will be interesting to know if you have that you compared the sound settings in Vista and Win7?
    Can you change anything to make box works properly?

    AFAIK there is no special driver for subwoofer features.

  • Rich Textbox example does not work in Windows 7

    In the past, I use the example of the Rich Textbox (\samples\userint\activex\richTextxbox.prj) in Windows XP (CVI 2010 SP1).

    Now, I noticed that this example does not work in Windows 7 64 bit because the ActiveX is not registered on the system (see error.jpg).

    This control is not installed by CVI IDE itself?

    How can I get this example to work on my Win 7 64 bit machine?

    Hey Vix

    It seems that the Rich Textbox control component provided by one of the VB Runtime is more included by default with Windows 7.

    I was able to manually record using Regsvr32 ActiveX control as described in the following Microsoft KB.

    I managed to download the ActiveX control needed here and there, you must copy the .ocx for the ActiveX control in your C:\Windows\SysWOW64 directory. Open an administrator command prompt and run "REGSVR32 RICHTX32. OCX'.

    SysWOW64 is the "Windows on Windows" emulation directory which is used for the execution of 32-bit controls in a 64-bit environment.

    I realize this isn't the best solution by making the deployment of applications a little more complicated, another solution would be to use another control ActiveX RTF like the one here: http://www.lebans.com/richtext.htm.
