Sims 1 does not start on my computer dell laptop windows vista 64-bit?

I put in the disc, and the splash screen, or whatever, the part where you should be able to hit the installation won't even pop up. nothing happens. I tried to install it but now I can't. Help, please!

Hello Mhar09.

Unfortunately, the Sims 1 uses a 16-bit installation program, which does not work on 64-bit Windows.

    That's why we're always checking the availability of compatible devices

    System. Only Dell (or one that makes the printer for Dell

  • Computer Toshiba laptop does not start after trying to install SP2 for vista 32 bit

    Tried to install SP2 for vista updates, it stagnates at 12%, message saying a problem has been detected and windows has been closed to protect the computer. At the bottom of the error message screen, it reads, technical info-stop OXOOOOC1F5. Windows doesn't start at all now, has tried running safe mode, pilots seem to load, then it returns to the screen error message with the same problem said. Nothing seems to work, tried same recovery disk came with the computer, it says it is loading files, then it returns also to error message screen. Computer came with vista pre-installed, so I don't have this drive to try. Someone at - it solutions? Very frustrating, how do I search problem when the computer will not start at all? Help!

    Follow the info below to try a Startup Repair:

    As is the case with most computers/laptops these days, they do not come with good Vista disc to repair only the recovery disks.

    If yours falls into the category above, download the ISO on the link provided and make a bootdisk of it.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    You can make a tool to restart system, System Restore, etc. with it.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista repair disc.
    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.
    There is not a disk of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  • Windows 7 does not start in the computer hp laptop

    Hello

    I saw the back of the office, where I work in the best web design company in the United States, both in India, my cell phone was frozen. Who went on to become of some process, but after I saw that the laptop has been frozen & there is no other choice to stop the laptop, because windows warned to for updates. I tried HP Recovery Manager, but system restore has been grayed out & I was not able to click on it!

    I don't have recovery CD so what can do about it?

    Kindly guide me for the same thing.

    Thank you

    Arun Nair

    Hello arunnair988. I understand that your laptop has frozen during an update, forcing you to restart from the beginning. Now you need to get back to a working condition operating system, but do not have any recovery media or Microsoft Restore Points. Is this correct?

    You have two options. The first is to try a System Recovery HP instead of a Microsoft System Restore. The difference is that a restore back your system files to a known point of work at the time, but let your personal files for the most part intact. A recovery is a reinstallation of the operating system. Will lose all data that are not backed up before recovery Follow these steps to perform a restore without any disk.

    If this does not work, or you want to get the physical disks, you will need to contact HP directly. If you are currently in the USA/Canada you can call to the 1-800-474-6836. If you are in another region, you will need to visit this site to get contact information for your region.

    I hope you find this useful arunnair988 of information; have a great day!

  • Windows does not start (possible disk failure HARD?) - Windows 7 64 bit.

    Hello. My computer won't start. It leads to the 'Starting Windows' screen, then briefly (VERY briefly) flashes a BSOD and reboot to the Startup Repair.

    I had several errors on my laptop which has eventually lead me to the current situation. I'll start from the beginning just after the specifications of the system, maybe they are connected somehow, or they can help you in some way:

    Plug my computer is the following:

    ACER aspire 5738ZG
    -Pentium Dual-Core 2.4 Ghz
    -4 GB of RAM
    -AMD Radeon 5xxx mobility, 512 VRAM
    -Drive Hitachi 500 GB SATA 5400 RPM
    -Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

    The first problem I had was a random BSOD who would leap upward with a certain frequency. I solved by going into safe mode, Device Manager and disable a card Microsoft Virtual Wifi Miniport that I don't remember being there before, and that makes not sense to me (I guess some program like a VM can be installed).

    Second problem were random camera that has begun to occur just after I got rid of the BSOD. I experienced the almost all the time (just after awakening upward, while surfing the internet, games, etc.), but I noticed that it was more frequently when using a game with a kind of communication (like Skype) running program and active on the background, or loading videos. I ran a chkdsk and a memtest, and both gave me good results. These problems I was not able to solve, but I went from more games (like WoW) system-oriented to the less demanding (the binding of Isaac, Dwarf Fortress), which blocks exactly 0 produced despite being a bit much CPU.

    I thought that it would be a heat problem, last week I went instead of a boyfriend and it opens. There was neither significant accumulation of dust, and no missed connections between the motherboard and the rest of the components, and I played for a week without a bump. Something of note, however, there was a brown spot on the label on the drive and under the keyboard, which my friend called "have you you spill coffee on the thing?", but I guess it's a day he just got hot. Don't know if it's of any help.

    Finally, I woke up this morning to find out it was going really, very, very slow, and that my HDD light was on almost all the time. I booted safe mode - it seemed to have locked up on the start when starting on normal screen. And after a while of loading and showing me a light permanently on HDD, it gave me an i/o error (could not take the screenshot before it restarts). I also noticed the icon on the status bar would not connect when I woke up, I won't be too paranoid, but in my opinion, could help the network connections.

    Memtest was clean. I did a chkdsk and it started to detect errors in index (something like "Error Index $021 program xxxx", don't remember the exact number), but had to go to work before it's over. When I got home, it comes to the start of repair screen telling me that Windows was not able to automatically fix errors. The next thing I know, I can't start my computer. I tried Chkdsk from Startup Repair tool CMD prompt, and it will immediately (as in, right this second) display the contents of the drive hard (with no "bad sectors"), but will not fix anything. Moreover, when I switch on the C:\ drive, it just shows empty. Memcheck to the boot and Memtest show RAM is clean.

    So in short, the cause could be a faulty HARD drive? I'm pretty sure it must be something related to her or to the connector block, or, worse, my motherboard is upward (which I really, REALLY whish is not).

    Any help will be less appreciated.

    SATA drives have always seemed to generate more heat than the old ones IDE and your CPU can become quite hot when he's busy too.  You do not have permanent damage normally until you get to about 70, so I would be fairly optimistic about the replacement of the HD unless conditions were very extreme.  Don't forget that if you rebuild your system with a retail DVD of Windows 7, you will probably need download drivers at Acer for things like chipset, video and sound.

    Good luck.

    Look at the troubleshooting here.
