trying to get test drive unlimited to run on windows 7

I've successfully loaded the pc version of test drive unlmt. on our pc that is running windows 7.  but when you click to start the game displays the cd turns as it tries to load, after about 10-15 seconds the game window appears for a second then disappears completely and stop trying to load the game. I entered the Compatibility Wizard and selected all versions of vista and xp it and tried to reload the game under these parameters and the same thing happens. I've also selected the compatibility tool and let him try to find the compatible version (he told me vista)...

Thanks for any help or suggestions would be welcome!

Hello
 
Compatibility of the game Test drive unlimited is not supported with Windows 7, and will be compatible in the coming days, to know more about it, you need to follow this link below.
 
http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/search.aspx?type=software&s=test%20DRIVE%20unlimited
 
So the only option you have, is to install XP mode on your computer and then install the game in XP mode and try to play the game.
 
If you want you can test the XP Mode (if you have the time and the ability to install/reinstall, etc) - download Windows 7 Enterprise 90-day trial. It is designed specifically for the professionals, so we have to say that you are a COMPUTER professional.
 
http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/cc442495.aspx

Then download and install XP Mode.
 
If you have Windows 7 Professional/Ultimate/Enterprise you can download and install Windows XP Mode. XP Mode is a virtual XP installation that is running in Windows 7.
 
Your computer must support virtualization. You can check that your PC hardware works with Windows XP Mode by downloading and running the tool:

http://go.Microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=163321
 
XP Mode home page:

http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Virtual-PC/default.aspx

If you must enable hardware virtualization on your computer:

1. reboot your computer and enter the BIOS settings.
2. search for the setting of virtualization in the BIOS and enable it.
3. save the BIOS settings and restart your computer.
 
Warning of the BIOS:
BIOS change / additional metal (CMOS) settings semiconductor oxide may incorrectly
causeserious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot
guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be resolved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.
 
After that you can goahead and install the game and check whether the problem is resolved.

Thank you, and in what concerns:

  • Windows 8.1 hangs in Windows Update, trying to get the driver

    (I posted this query on another Forum HP. A person named Waterboy71 who claims to be working "on behalf of" HP suggested that I post here for a wider exposure.) We have added a Surface Pro 3 64 bit 8.1 running win to our home network.  Our Office XP WHAT features of an HP LaserJet 1200 printer is connected via USB and it is shared. Our laptop running XP has no problem to the 1200 LaseJet impression. On the Surface when you try to add the printer Win 8.1 concludes the LaserJet 1200 and calls Windows Update, probably to download a 64-bit printer driver. Windows Update crashes, it is short and does not stop. We have let it run for about an hour before the end of. I looked on the HP site for the drivers and it seems to imply that Windows Update is the right way to get the driver, that we need. Is there another way to do this? Or y at - it a way to get the update can I work correctly?

    Here's what works in windows 7 and will probably work in windows 8. You need to load the printer on windows 8 machine as a local printer by saying it is connected to the lpt1 port and disable auto-detection. Just follow the prompts and when you get to the page of manufacturers choose hp on the left, then the lj1200 or universal pcl printer driver on the right. Finish the load and do not print a test page. Now, you will need to know the name of the computer that the printer is connected and it will also need the name of the share allocated to the printer on this computer. For these instructions I will use the name of the computer as xpmachine and the sharehane as lj1200. You will replace your real names. Now right click on the printer icon in devices and printers, then highlight the first properties and left click. Now, click ports, and then add the port. In the box that appears, type the following: \\xpmachine\lj1200 where you will replace your names. Save and apply and you will now be able to print to the printer.

  • trying to get used to sql * more running and creating a simple procedure

    Hello all;

    I'm getting used to sql * more after using for a while using pl/sql developer.

    I am trying to create a simple procedure and run it. See my procedure below
    create or replace procedure test(t in varchar2(200), limit in number(30))
    begin
    select tbl_report.id from tbl_report where tbl_report.id like '|| t ||%' and rownum <= limit;
    end test;
    and then I type in run hr.test ("J", 10); to run this and then press ENTER, and it does nothing. How can I run and create a simple procedure in sql * more

    Hello

    In addition to all the good points, others have done:

    When you issue a SELECT statement in SQL * Plus (or any other front end) two things happen:
    (1) a result set, containing the results of your query, is produced, and
    (2) this result set is displayed.
    Given that these two things are always done together, it is easy to forget that they are two different things.
    In PL/SQL, you must explicitly do something to catch the result set, and you must explicitly do something else to view it (if you want to display it).

    A simple way to get the result set is to use a cursor FOR loop, to extract a line at a time and run code with this line in a record variable (called the country in the example below).
    View the results is to call dbms_output.put_line.

    Here is an example:

    CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE     test
    (       t       IN      VARCHAR2
    ,     lmt      IN     NUMBER          -- LIMIT is an Oracle keyword; best not to use it as a variable name
    )
    IS
    BEGIN
        FOR  country  IN ( SELECT  country_name
                          FROM    hr.countries
                     WHERE   country_name     LIKE t || '%'
                     AND     ROWNUM          <= lmt
                   )
        LOOP
            dbms_output.put_line (  country.country_name
                        || ' = country_name'
                        );
        END LOOP;
    END test;
    /
    SHOW ERRORS
    

    You can use variables, such as t and lmt, in the query without using dynamic SQL, as long as the variables do not have the same names as the columns in the table. In this case, t and lmt are good names; country_name or region_id wouldn't. (In fact, t is a reputable insofar as it cannot be confused with a column in the table of the country. T is not a good reputation in the sense that it does not give much information about what contains the variable, or how it is used. Why not call the variable target_name or name_a_trouver?

    You can run the SQL procedure * more like this:

    SET     SERVEROUTPUT     ON
    
    EXEC  test ('I', 2);
    

    If you issue the SET SERVEROUTPUT ON command, then you will not see the output of dbms_output. You must only issue the command SET SERVEROUTPUT ON once per session, but nothing bad happens if you do it more than once.

    When I ran the procedure as stated above, I got this output:

    Israel = country_name
    India = country_name
    

    Notice that "The Italy" does not appear, because lmt has 2.

    Do not create your own procedures, tables or other objects in the HR schema, or among all the other patterns created by Oracle. Create your own schema and create procedures and other objects in it.

  • Test Drive Unlimited! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP!

    Hi, my pc is Vista I installed TDU and installed the latest patch of 1.45 to 1.66. everything worked fine so far. I am now running windows 7 Home premium and I installed TDU. with version 1.45 everything works but I can not go online cause it tells me I need to update. so after that I installed the patch 1.66 I get NO SOUND. I can play music on iTunes. When I start the game, the music plays from the, but as soon as I click on play there not be sound. I have uninstall-ed then reinstalled several times and no luck.

    PLZ anyone know why this is happening? !!! ? ! ? ! ? !
    Thank you
    Stefan.

    You should check the options in your game! but it's strange that you can play TDU on Windows 7 because I know that the game works for win XP or Vista 32-bit. Also try reinstalling your sound card.

    Hello

    See the documentation for your PC on a full recovery of the system running and you may find that you don't need one, at least not for now. Many PC have a recovery installed on the hard drive which is accessible at boot time by a combination of keys (which varies). The Dell support site will also tell you if it is an option and what is the key combination.

    If you don't need the disc or you want to get one if your hard drive fails, contact Dell, they should sell you a.

    1 Cup start-up, you have 2 malware applications running (never a good idea) McAffee and defender. (if I were you I would remove both and install MSE)
    2. also, on startup, you 37 things (including HP bloatware) from.  Who uses the resources and makes possible conflicts.

    3 - your 2 DMP files have 2 distinct causes. First USBHUB. SYS and your video driver/subsystem.

    For the USB problem, run a file system check

    It may need be performed up to three times before success

    For the issue of the video


    "Is not a true crash, in the sense that the blue screen was launched only because the combination of material and video driver video was to be insensitive and not because of any exception processing synchronous".

    Since Vista, the components of "Timeout detection and recovery" (TDR) of the subsystem video OS have been able to do some really impressive things to try to find issues that would have led to the earlier OS like XP to crash.

    As a last resort, the TDR subsystem sends a video driver command "Please restart you now!" and wait a few seconds.

    If there is no answer, the BONE concludes that the combo of driver/hardware video has really collapsed in a heap, and it fires at this stop 0 x 116 BSOD.

    If playing with video driver versions did not help, make sure that the box is not overheated.

    Try to remove a side panel and a fan of big sector directly to the motherboard and GPU.

    Run it like that for a few hours or days - long enough to check whether the cooler temperatures make a difference.

    If so, it could be as simple as dust accumulation and inadequate cooling afterwards.

    I download cpu - z and gpu - z (both free) and keep an eye on the video time

  • Getting Flight Simulator 2004 to run in Windows 7

    I followed all 10 steps in the Microsoft support article.  I installed the latest drivers.  Flight Simulator will run in mode full screen 800 x 600.  Whenever I hit the key to the menu at the top of the window, the game stops.  I choose the options in the menu, but the menu disappears when I reactivate the game.

    It is becoming too much of a hassle for just a simulator and I think seriously just get rid of it and find another simulator which is fully compatible with Windows 7, because FS 2004 certainly isn't.  I don't care if Microsoft thinks it is.

    It would be the only place to get one safely from the manufacturer's website.  If they do not have one, then it is not supported in windows 7.

  • Trying to get my downloads to install. Using Windows Vista

    I try to install I tunes and Avast and after downloading they install it.  Says config is wrong

    Download them to the desktop and then right click on the install icon and click on run as administrator.  It sometimes helps.

    Pleaae display the EXACT Word for Word error messages for each of the programs.  Who can help to find the cause.

    Disable your security software and try the installation again and see if that helps.

    Download and run Windows Installer Cleanup Utility: http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Windows-Installer-CleanUp-Utility-Download-18442.html and see if that helps the problem.

    If this does not work, try a boot minimum http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135.  If the problem goes away (you can install) then it's just a matter of tracking down the culprit at the origin of the problem (or you can ignore the problem and just restore the system to normal condition with your installed programs now).   Follow the procedures described in the article.  Once found, remove, delete, disable or uninstall.  Once remember to put Vista in normal status, as described in the procedures. If the problem occurs in clean mode then just restore the system to normal and reboot - this solution will not work.

    If the above does not work, contact technical support for iTunes http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ or post in the forums: http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=149 for assistance.  Do the same with Avast at:http://www.avast.com/community-and-support orhttp://forum.avast.com/.

    I'm trying to get a Compaq Presario C731EM running Vista connected to my router to talktalk.  It seems to connect without access to the internet and that he lists as a network not only identified local operating.  Many internet research it seems the Atheros driver would need to be updated to one on the 2010 that should work.

    On the HP website when I list my model is for me a driver of 2008 with a reference 7.6.0.114.   I've seen on this forum links to the drivers (which I access via a second computer), but when I go to the link I see not all drivers to use. How can I get a driver more later that works please?
