The minute of Silence - will not work on Windows 7 in compatibility mode
I just installed The Moment of Silence after not getting round to install in on my old XP laptop. It will run, citing that it needs to be played on a version from a version of Windows up to XP - compatibility does not work.
I searched other forums that suggest that it is a problem with starforce drivers, but they do not appear to be installed on my computer.
Is it possible to get this game to work on Windows 7 or should I give up?
Hello
Thanks for the reply.
As you mentioned, you have Windows 7 Home Premium installed, the suggestion to install Windows XP mode won't help.
However, you can contact the game manufacturer and check if they released the updates for the game work on Windows 7.
Hope the helps of information.

I played AoE II forever, but for the last six months have not been able to play on my Toshiba laptop that is running Windows 7. Any other information required I can give you if you ask.
My system meets the minimum requirements
Compatibility mode does not work for any earlier version of Windows selected.
I updated DirectX in all possible ways.
I downloaded the patch aoe2.
The game still does not work.
Now, I know very little of video cards, but I know that my father has the same laptop and the game runs very well on her.
I tried to open it with 256 colours and 800 x 600 resolution
I tried to disable my graphics card and got the same message.
DirectX says that DirectDraw is activated.
It should be out once (I don't know how or why) I had the game starts. about six months and I did nothing different from normal. It has not started again since. But it means that I know that it is able to work on this machine.
Also, I never had this error until recently; before it would just go to a black screen until I ctl + alt + delete my way out of it.
I am begging you people at Microsoft to figure this out for me, to find a way to get rid of this error message...

The second listener intake will not work. My DV6000 is one month old.
The second listener intake will not work, but I get static when I plug my headphones in there. The other socket works well. I need help fixing it. My DV6000 is one month old.

One of the is for audio in and one for the audio output. Some versions of some have a plug S/PD/F. Chances are the reason why you get static is that if you connect a headset with a microphone jack, it will try to behave like a microphone. It will not work properly.
Then. a summary. There is only a single take of earphone

Some software will not work on Windows Vista so I need to install Windows XP
But how to download drivers for devices such as bluetooth, Lan, his...Hello
I put t know what phone you use, but many Toshiba notebook series are delivered and support similar hardware parts.
You can simply try to test and install the drivers from different series.The new Toshiba Bluetooth stack supports Vista and you can install it on all the laptops Toshiba which supports the feature of BT.
Sometimes, you will get the chip card driver LAN or compatible Sound on the site of manufacture of chips like Intel, realtek, etc. -
LaserJet 1018 will not work on windows 7
I have a HP Laserjet 1018 which works fine on Windows Vista 64 - bit. I just built a new PC and put Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit on it. The drivers on the HP support site will not work. When I try to print something, it is sent to the printer and disappears. I interrupt printing that document actually get sent to the printer and it appears. As soon as I have some Nations United-pause the printer, the document disappears, but nothing prints. Normally, when something is sent to the printer, the "information" LED yellow lights up momentarily and prints the document. The led does not at all. I tried new cables, uninstalling and reinstalling etc. Nothing works. Just to be sure this isn't a printing problem general, I connected a Laserjet 1020 on the new machine and it works fine. However, it is my printer to work and I can't leave it on the new computer, which is a personal computer for my home. It worked to identify that my copy of Windows 7 allows you to print, but is not a long-term solution. Help?
Hello
Thanks for the post. On this one, I have some ideas. I pasted the links below. One is for the driver Win7/64 page and the print diagnostic utility. I would certainly recommend the utility to narrow down the issue. The other is a related document in queue which contains excellent information. Good luck!
