Solitaire spider and other games on Windows 7 not running

I've upgraded Windows 7 on my laptop for the Ultimate edition.  When I click on a game, like Spider solitaire, the little circle appears then disappears just.  The program never opens.  The same thing with solitaire and hearts.  I can't find anything on Windows 7 pages about relocation, etc.

Any suggestions?

Thank you

I tried several times before I posted my question and it does not solve the problem.  I installed updates and after the updates installed, the games began to work again, so I don't know what was the problem or the solution.  Thank you.

  • Wolfenstein and other games lag too much to run

    Salvation;
    MOM bought a new machine to Win 7 brilliant (HP Compaq) for playing games that worked fine on Vista / Acer. So far, she can not play Wolfenstein, legend hand of God or Loki (at least two of them are on the list of compatibility with Win 7) and is naturally upset. More simple games such as Nancy Drew work perfectly.

    I tried the following with Wolfenstein (2009, Games for Windows):

    -Reinstall the game
    -patch (1.11)
    -Update driver NVidia (GeForce 6150SE nForce 430)
    -install NVidia Phsyx 9.09.x
    -increase the page 2942 MB max file size maximum of Mo 4413 (left initial size to 2942)
    -updated some driver 'driver warning' (Targes? some kind of protection against copying.)
    -The icon of the program: compatibility - run as administrator, disable the composition of the bureau, disable the scaling on high DPI, disable visual themes

    I tried to enter the game after each change, but it is still too shifted to run (obtained with respect to the gameplay, but just as bad as the opening menu). Cutscenes are very good. I try next?

    Note: machine supplied with preinstalled Norton - we should re - install with A / V disabled? (and the modem disconnected!) Given a system warning somewhere (don't remember if HP or Windows system tool) which said A / V unrecognized, but I can say that Norton is running, updated and integrated with Windows and Internet Explorer.

    Thanks for any help.

    Hello, to my knowledge there no problem with Wolfenstein and 64-bit Windows.  As he described as Games for Windows it should be tested on 64-bit.  However, there is a patch available for it, then you want to try.

  • Solitaire, hearts and other small game not available in Windows 7 Pro :-(

    Are small games like Solitaire, hearts and Minesweeper from mines etc that are available in Windows 7 Home Premium also available to be downloaded from somewhere? I miss my Solitataire and Spider Solitaire. I just go from XP to Windows 7 Professional and they are not found :-(

    Never mind! I found the answer where here and the games:

  • Flight Simulator 3 and other games running slowly in Windows 7.

    Original title: Sims 3 (and other games works incorrectly) suddenly running slow.

    I'll try to make this as brief as possible while providing for.

    When I got to Windows 7, the sims 3 worked perfectly. all the graphics on the top and so on. I can't quite identify when exactly it started running slowly and I mean slow! The game, itself, does not take long to load - it never did and it's practically the only thing that has not changed. But when I go in the game (from simply create a SIM to play), that he is lagging badly. To say things to the point, the whole game is rather fluid animation as a slide show of photos.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled, but the problem persists. I've also updated my nVidia graphics card it is newer, but it did not much difference in any of the games. Sidenote: I installed the sims 2 and well there a little laggy every now and then (he's since widows xp; sure enough it's normal) it preforms perfectly. I just can't understand why the sims 3 has suddenly decided to run horribly.

    In other games, such as smaller little such as Turbo Subs, are also slow, but not to the point where I can't even play. In fact, if I play long enough gal disappears and it works normally. But I think that it may just be an incompatibility problem because part of the mine, Burger Shop 2, works very well, even better than when I got Vista. Looking for confirmation here.

    Is it possible to fix it as it used to be, or at the very least, simply reduce the amount of lag?

    You can try to download and install the latest DirectX9 updates CFS3 and still need to other games.

    Then try to defragment your hard drive. Personally, I like this utility.

    If the problem persists, then open the Task Manager and check if there are all the running processes that take a lot of CPU resources.

  • Executable for freecell has stopped working... and other games too.

    Executable for freecell has stopped working... and other games too.  I tried to uninstall and re-install of the windows features option, but it did not help.  Anyone got any ideas how to fix?  Have no idea what caused the problem that I play them often.  Windows Vista Edition Home Premium.

    Thank you all.

    Your profile problem would be assigned to a corrupted profile - if you look in the file C:\Users\, you should always have on your documents.
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/fix-a-corrupted-user-profile

    Between that and the problem with the games, it would be a good idea to perform a scan of the hard disk, just in case where it fails.
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/check-your-hard-disk-for-errors

    Note that even though the disk check said it corrects a problem, I recommend to backup your data.

    You can also try a system restore to before the problem began:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-is-system-restore

    It can solve the problem of profile as well, assuming that the hard drive is fine but if not follow the steps above.

  • Stop while he was sleeping and other problems on Windows 8.1, Vaio Flip 13

    Whenever I close the lid to put my laptop to sleep for a while, after a few hours, it will stop. So instead of waking up, she must start up of. Yes, I upgraded to 8.1 correctly. All my drivers are the latest versions. There is nothing to install in Vaio update * (see next post) or Windows Update.

    Any ideas?

    Then, how can I remove an update from Vaio update? I tried to install the "update Intel Dual Band Wireless 16.6.0.8" and it would still fail. I then installed new updates through Sony/Intel directly. Now, I'm on a newer version than the update, but it will still fail and I can't get rid of it.

    Finally, every time I start, or restart, Chrome, will start a new empty window. I have chrome to begin where I left, so that it opens all the tabs that were open when I closed chrome. So whenever I open it, a window with these tabs will open, and a new empty window with a tab will open on top. I checked and its nothing to do with the Chrome settings

    Remember something else, that I thought had been fixed with and update but happened again today:

    Sometimes, when I wake my Flip from his sleep, he will not be able to find an internet connection. My phone can find the WiFi for my home, or homes or same chromecast neighbours, but my laptop can not find anything. The only way I can remedy this, is by restarting the laptop

  • Yahoo.Politics and other sites of yahoo does not appear the comment box

    I have the latest version of Firefox 39. I have disabled all add-ons, restarted Windows 7, but the problem persists. With google chrome, everything works fine. Help on how to troubleshoot and resolve this problem would be appreciated.
    Example:

    https://www.Yahoo.com/politics/Jeb-Bush-consultant-critiques-Republican-digital-124448872556.html

    All right!

    Deleted ALL cookies (I do it every night together with cache, but only for the last day or four hours, depending). I also had to play around with Ghost (allow facebook, twitter, yahoo analytics) and  Disconnect (disable on yahoo.com) extensions.  That seems to have done the trick.
    

    Regarding the SSL protocol, sometimes I get the warnings you mentioned. They do not make sense, because the sites are pretty reliable (banks and others). I try again a couple of times on google chrome too and everything is OK.

    I really appreciate your help on this matter and your admirable patience.

  • Satellite A300 - 20 p - games with Windows 7 not working not not using full screen

    I have Satellite A300 - 20 p and VGA ATI 3650
    I did the upgrade to Windows 7 Professional

    All games works fine but not full screen. I installed the latest driver for ATI for Windows 7. He worked in full screen in Vista prior to upgrade.

    Same problem on my brother's cell phone after he made the upgrade to Windows 7.

    Normally you can change the resolution of the screen in every game and if they should run full screen or not. Check this box!

    Can you also tell us what display driver you have installed? Pilots of the Toshiba page are for maps of office and not for mobile maps. So please only use the Toshiba drivers.

  • Doom 3, C & C Generals and C & C Tiberian Sun do not run or play in Windows 7 64 bit

    Three of my favorite games, C & C Generals, C & C Tiberian Sun and Doom 3 will not run or play in Windows 7 64 bit.  Last week, I built a new computer with Intel i7 860, GA P55A UDP4 Mobo, Gigabyte ATI Radeon HD5770, 4 GB ram, LCD Samsung B2350 with Direct X 11 and Windows 7 64-bit.

    Installed the 3 games. C & C Generals does not work, a little box came on the bar saying 'a serious error has occurred' tasks.  I've uninstalled it. Then installed C & C Tib Sun, the error code says "live X-please ensure you have direct X 9 or a later version, also make sure that your video card meets the req min etc.  I have the last card ATI graphics and direct X 11, then why the direct X error message?  Tried Compatibility Mode set reading under Win XP sp2, the game still will not play, and even direct X error message came.

    Installed in Doom 3. When I tried to play it, it goes in the first screen of doom, but with the main playing surface in the lower right corner makes it unplayable because you can't see the OK or Cancel buttons.  A run yet compatibility mode and still the same problem.

    Why is Windows 7 64 bit as a big missed with old games?  Please help, how can I get these 3 games to play on my win7 64 bit computer?

    Peter K

    Thanks for your advice.

    I should have done a little more research before asking my question, my apologies for wasting time anyones.  The C & C Tiberium Wars game works now on my Win7 64 bit computer but only after I downloaded the 263 MB C & C3 update patch.  Also, after you perform the procedure in compatibility mode, the game runs and plays OK.  With Doom3, all I had to do was check the compatibility re fonts to display box, because I was running Win7 in large fonts/icons.  Doom3 now works OK.  As I uninstalled it C & C Generals, I have not bothered with it. I guess in some cases of incompatibility, the answer is to install the latest update for the game /patch, and then run the compatibility mode.
