Respected Sir/Madam,

I have a game GTA 4 I want to install and play on my laptop and the forum of windows it is shown that this game is compatible with windows 8, but the game shows that your system is not compatible during the installation. Requirements minimum for the game is graphics card 512 MB, 1 GB of ram and 16 GB of hard drive space and all that is in my laptop but it has a compatibility problem with windows 8. How to start the game on my laptop or make it compatible with windows 8, please help and answer me soon.

Thank you

Naveen Saha

Hello NAVEENENVY.

I found a YouTube video that covers installing the game on Windows 8 by using the compatibility and disk mode.  Here is the link.  This is the method you tried to install the game using the styling?  If Yes, what is the error you receive?  If this isn't what you tried, let me know the result.

I'll keep an eye out for your answer.  I wish you a nice day!

    Questions of title: Sims 2 original on Windows 7 (64-bit)

    The compatibility for Windows 7 thing, says that the Sims 2 and all the expansions will run in Windows 7.

    When I installed in fact all games Sims 2 on my laptop, however, the game does not start.

    I click on the game, opened upward, and I just get a black screen, causing me to have to restart the entire system.

    I tried to run in compatibility mode, which was a no-go. EA customer support asked me to update my drivers, I did. Because none of this worked, I guess that's another problem in Windows 7, so it would be great if I could get a solution to this problem!

  • A few questions regarding the hardware upgrade and the games on Satellite Pro 2100

    Hey,.

    I thought that posting this here because it's more about the lines for the games I could think on another topic.

    I'll get to the point... Basically, I bought a laptop from a guy that my friend knew. He barely used this laptop and didn't know anything about computers, and he tried to avoid as much as possible. So he got rid of this laptop for me for real cheap.

    Now I got it, I had expected either of two things with the laptop.

    (1) what I'll use it so I can sit in his bed and travel a little bit while having files, movies, music and internet access. (it wasn't my main idea)

    Or

    (2) it allows to play video games on it, or to update, so I have a better chance to do so.

    I was hoping to get for video games, mainly for my brother to use because his computer is lagging a lot while playing world of Warcraft. I was hoping that this notebook would give him a better experience for a while.

    But as I was installing the game on this, I noticed that the disk space is low, so I'm going to buy an external hard drive, so I can send files between the PC and the laptop, and I got an error message saying that the RAM was under "minimum requirements" for WoW.

    So I know that I got to level it with something big, but I know not what, so I'm not quite sure that this laptop will run the game at a decent rate. So I thought that I turn to a computer forum and ask.

    It's my laptop;
    [Satellite Pro 2100 PS210E | http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=UK&BV_UseBVCook = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 45659 ie]

    This laptop will do the job don't you think?
    Or it will be better for simpler things, or less if I had the ram to 1gig?

    I don't know much on the laptop, and I'm not really willing to spend too much on fixing, if it's just a change of the ram, then it wouldn't cost much for than to upgrade around 1gig.

    Hello

    First of all, I must say that this notebook belongs to an older series laptop.
    It was equipped with the 1.8 Celeron CPU, 256 MB RAM, 20 GB or 30 GB HARD drive and a 16MB graphics card internal.

    What you can do is upgrade the RAM up to 1 GB (2 x 512 MB) and the HARD drive. But I think that the maximum size of HARD drive that would be recognized by the BIOS is 120 GB.
    I think that the laptop supports one IDE controller and it limited because of the 28-bit LBA HARD drive size.

    So finally, it is important to mention that you can not pass the graphics card because it s soldered onto the motherboard. Upgrading the CPU is not possible or very difficult.

    I come to the conclusion that you will not be able to play games of new generation on this machine. The hardware specs are maybe too low a few simple games would run on this laptop but I'm sure that other newer games will not run smoothly.

  • MY QUESTION: IS IT POSSIBLE TO CHANGE THE LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY OF THE GAME OF CHESS TITANS? Thanks in advance.

    I got the game "Chess Titans" runs under Vista 32 bit. It works OK. But it seems impossible to change the difficulty level"of the game. The only time I was able to change the "level of difficulty" is when I installed MS Vista. I tried 'Options' - but it does not contain something immediately useful in this regard.

    Hi Provob,

    Thanks for posting on Microsoft Answers!
     
    Certainly, you can change the difficulty level of Chess Titans.
    1. Once you start the game.
    2. click on the game and then go to options.
    3. in the new window that opens, in the top right of windows, you can cursor diffculty.
    4. move the slider from left to right to increase the difficulty. There are 10 levels of difficulty from 1 to 10.
    5. Once you have customized your settings click Ok.

    * If the slider is dimmed or crashes, you can try to uninstall and reinstall the game using "turn Windows Feature On or Off.

    By design, the game is not compatible with windows7.
     
    You can also check with the manufacturer of game for any version upgrade of this game, which could be compatible with windows7.

    Yes, if you have the dual operating system on your computer, you can play and record games on xp, start the computer in Xp and you can play the game.

    I also invite you to visit this link to learn more about running the old programs/games in xp or vista compatibility mode.

  • When I was playing the game and my 3D PC show the black screen and the sound of noise.

    Hi Admin,
    When I was playing the game and my 3D PC show the black screen and the sound of noise. And then I can't move anything and I can restart only. What is this problem? I don't know why? Please help me what should I do.
    My PC specs are as follows

    Aspire M5800 (Q84MR375) Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium, 64-bit, Intel Core 2 Quad processor Q8400 (2.66 GHz, 4 MB L2 Cache, bus front at 1333 MHz), 3 GB Ram, 750 GB S - ATA HDD, DVD SuperMulti Double Layer drive, Nvidia GeForce GT220 graphics (1 GB dedicated RAM) card, Wireless LAN, keyboard and wireless mouse with LCD 23 '' monitor.

    phoechan,
    More than likely if this started after you upgrade to Windows7 then you might have to update your hardware drivers.  Go to the websites of the manufacturers of hardware for your PC and get all the latest drivers for Windows 7 (video, sound, chipset, etc...).  If they don't have Windows 7 drivers you may have questions until they create them.  You can also try to boot your PC and also right click on the game .exe file and change the compatibility mode to Vista or XP.

    I'M PLAYING THE GAME "PANZER GENERAL 2, WHEN THE GAME STARTS TO RUN THE BROWSER CRASHES.

    After that, I have to go to master to stop and start again... I have read all the post I can find and I updated the driver and reset the display and SO ON, SO ON, AND...

    I played this game on windows xp and I have done everything but put A BULLET in it and I think about IT!

    I'd be willing to by a new game made for windows 7 but does...

    MANY OF THE POST TALK ABOUT A 64-BIT SYSTEM, BUT MINED IS A 32-BIT, SO THERE HAS NOT BEEN TWO MANY ANSWERS...

    It is better to translate 'SO ON'... to something specific, or you can read suggestions for

    have you tried things once again.

    -Include your brand of processor graphics and model as well.

    -The best place for the hotfixes to vintage games is usually on a specific to this game fan site,

    or the developer forums, but...

    "but mine is 32 bits"

    (Assuming you are using the disk depending on the version of the game.)

    -A 32-bit Windows can be an advantage with some games of this vintage (release date of 97) as

    always use a 16-bit Installer, which will run on 32-bit but not 64-bit of Windows.

    Apart from that, there should be no difference between the OS versions for compatibility.

    -However, prior to version 2000 games (and some newer), may have other

    questions that make them run poorly. Audio and color are two common problems.

    -The camera may result from a problem with earlier versions of Open GL, Direct 3D.

    DirectPlay and Glide3D (gone, but not forgotten) can be a problem sometimes too?

    These questions sometimes have patches on based fan sites.

    -Some 97 games maybe still based back that requires using the window BACK, an emulator "BACK."

    Good old games sells some vintage games with DRM (copy of code protection) removed, and installs

    with BACK box automatically.

    They have Panzer General 2 for $10 USD, but if you expect one of their frequent sales you should be

  • How can I resolve the error message "Failed to enumerate a device appropriate." for the game "Toy Story 2" for PC?

    I have this old PC game called "Toy Story 2" for Windows 95/98 operating system in time and can't launch the .exe.

    A month ago, I had a much older graphics card, nvidia GTS 250 if I remember correctly, and I have my Windows 7 Home Prenium edition is installed.
    With this graphics card, the game would launch correctly, the screen 'Resolution to define' before entering the game, which means that the game worked fine on my nvidia GTS 250, without displaying the error message:
    Cannot enumerate a suitable device.

    Recently, my GTS 250 was gone and I was forced to upgrade. I bought a nvidia GTS 450, as well as some other new games because of my new, more powerful GPU.
    After that I installed the device, downloaded the latest drivers to work and click on the toy2.exe icon, a cmd command prompt appears followed by a black screen, enter full screen mode, then close immediately before it allows you to set the resolution of the game, the error next message just after:
    Cannot enumerate a suitable device.

    What does the above statement mean?
    This game does not work on recent graphics cards?
    Is this a driver problem?
    I tried all the options (Windows 95, 98, 2000, etc.) compatibility, tried as Admin, tried to work on my windows XP machine, they do not let you change the graphic acceleration under windows 7, basically, I tried almost everything.
    The game is not recognize the graphics card because it is too new? Is there a way to force the application to use my GTS 450? A way to force the application to start with a comprehensive resolution?
    Any input is greatly appreciated, I really miss playing this game so bad :(

    Seems that this game has some compatibility issues with newer systems. I suggest you post this question on the support forum for Disney page.

    Hope this helps
