SIM city 4 deluxe on windows 7

is it possible to get SIM city to run on windows 7

Hi jimming08,
 
Welcome to the Microsoft Answers community.

You can try to install it and look for error messages (if any). If you find error messages you can post back with the exact error messages so that we can help you better. Alternatively, you can try to install in compatibility mode.

    Hi kitkatz155,

    You can try to start the computer in a clean boot state, try to install the game and check if this solves the problem.

    Start your computer in a clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.

    See How to solve a problem by performing a boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

    Hope this information helps.

  • Why used my sim city 4 cd install on windows 7

    Tried to install Sim City 4 on Windows 7 cd rom doesn't even begin. I called HP, they told me that it is not compatible. Is there any solution for this and where.

    Hello

    SIM city 4 is compatible with Windows 7.

    Step 1: Clean and examine the CD

    If you have problems to install the program from the CD, the CD may be dirty or damaged.

    Use a CD-ROM cleaning kit, or gently wipe the silver part of the CD-ROM with a soft and Lint cotton cloth. Don't use paper. Paper can scratch the plastic and leave streaks. When you clean the CD-ROM, wipe from the center of the disc outward. Do not use a circular motion.

    If the drive does still not work, clean the disc using warm water or with a CD-ROM. wipe cleaning kit disc and then retest the drive.

    Step 2: check if the drive is detected on another computer.

    Step 3: You can contact the manufacturer support and check to help on the issue-

  • Sim City 4 does not work on my computer

    At the beginning when I played sim city 4 that it would work, but then the computer randomly shutdown and now the game will not even begin

    zachd,
    You have successfully updated your hardware drivers (video, sound, etc...)?  If this is not the case, make sure that you do this.  You can do a right click on the game .exe file set the compatibility mode on an earlier version of Windows and right-click on it and select run as administrator.
    If these elements do not help then you can use the event viewer and see if an error is generated.  If so, post what is the error so we can address the issue.

    You can also look on the site EA support since this issue seems to be specific to SimCity4. Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

  • Keep SIM city crashing this game ruin my iPad?

    MY iPad freezes when I travel in my game Sim City build. This game ruin the iPad? Why my game crashes constantly?

    It is very likely that the game requires more resources than your ipad a. I have an iPad 2 and it has a tolerance for graphics applications much lower than my mini 4 (somewhat obvious account bound to the difference between the processor and ram)

    Unfortunately, the game can be too much for your iPad.

    You can try to force it to close all apps you don't use of free resources as much as possible for your game. Double-click the home button and scan all unnecessary applications off the screen to close. then simple tap on the home page to exit this mode. Also, I restarted my iPad and iPod older on a daily basis. Press the sleep and home for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver Apple, let go and let it reboot and see if that helps.

    In the Sims 2 Double Deluxe, when I try to open a large number of community or move in a family, the lot is constantly loading and never stops.  He could stay there for a whole day and the loading screen would always be there.

    Hello crazycfm,

    Thank you for your response.  You can check that the game is fully patched or completely updated. To do this, you can check with the program provider directly to check the updates available for the game.  You can also verify that your video card drivers are updated and then check the issue.
