I AM RUNNING WINDOWS VISTA HOME PREMIUM

If you know the manufacturer of the game, you can try their site to see if they have a Vista patch for the game.  Some games have the protection against copying that is not compatible with Vista and you need a patch from the game manufacturer.  It is because the protection against copying of the game has been written especially for XP and will not function on Vista.  They are the only ones who can provide you with a work around if the compatibility options do not work for you.

  • Try to install the old game of window 95 on my windows 7...

    I have an old windows 95 game called Shivers.  I would like to install on my windows 7, I have home premium.

    I tried a lot of things.
    I tried to click with the right button on setup.exe/properties and making it compatible with different versions, also tried to have windows try and do it for me.
    When I try first to install the game I get the error, not compatible with the 64-bit version.
    After fiddling around, it seems now that the game will start to install, the screen resolution goes down and I get a black window, as I have had with other games when they begin to install.  However then goes black screen and I have nothing :(
    I do not so much, but I've been looking for this game for a long time, I finally found and bought without thinking that he would not be able to run on my system...
    I'm pretty OK with the computer, but when someone answers I need much instruction step by step please.
    Thank you

    (1) it is a 16-bit game and does not work on 64-bit Windows. Reported, it installs and runs with a few minor adjustments * 32-bit XP, Vista and Windows 7 (* compatibility setting: Windows 95, ignore any request for 'system test', set your screen resolution, etc..).

    (2) it MAY be that even a BACK emulator fails to run it because it uses a Sierra-own game engine (SCI) that must be supported, too. It is not included in the list of compatibility of DosBox, and it comes in the ScummVM forums (another emulator BACK) as "pending".

    (3) as a last resort, you can try to install & run the game in a virtual machine. If you have any disk installation for Win 3.1 or Windows 95, the virtual machine would allow you to play the game in the environment he has created. Windows 7 Professional allows you to download a free version of Windows XP Professional SP3 to work with Windows Virtual PC, but use a VM free as MS Virtual PC 2007, VirtualBox, etc. is certainly less expensive (even if you can buy a copy of Win 3.1 or 95).

    Installation of xp and blue screen of death

    Hello

    I recently formatted the partition boot and recovery of a laptop Medion2230, then merged the two partitions in a single NTFS partition.  Don't ask why, it's a long story.

    Then, tried to install a new copy of Windows XP Home.  Everything is OK until the final phase, when the "Blue Screen of death" appeared during the installation of the drivers. Restarted and installing XP as normal to repeat the first onboard staged and went to the "blue screen" at the same point as before.

    Using some diagnostic software, I reformatted the drive again, loaded XP set up and I had the same problem.

    Someone knows what to do?

    Thank you allionii123

    Now solved and pc with Windows XP home.

    Discovered a trick online, who said that at the beginning of XP installation, press F5, and this leads to a screen option - select 'standard pc' and continue with the installation of XP.

    (Again), formatted hard drive ran XP installation and followed above point.

    Worked the first time.

    Thank you very much for your advice.

    I think you can pressing F5 or F7...

    How to impose a layer of HAL during an upgrade or an installation of Windows XP

    Impose a HAL

    To prevent Windows XP to automatically determine the system HAL during the upgrade or installation of Windows XP, you can manually force in a system HAL. To impose an Abstraction Layer HAL during a upgrade or installation of Windows XP, follow these steps:

    1. During the phase in text mode of Setup, when you receive the message at the bottom of the screen, press F5:

      Press F6 if you need to install a third-party RAID or SCSI driver.

      Note If you press F7, the Standard PC HAL loads and the ACPI enforcement is bypassed.

    I would not need this except in the systems of many older and low end... :-(  After all, in the same article, for Standard PC they say: "the CPU can be a 386, 486, Pentium, Pentium II, or Pentium III '...

    Thanks for letting us know what you were doing.  Do you have all the necessary drivers after loading Windows XP?  I would not recommend using the default drivers for any hardware - always see what the manufacturer offers on their web page for each component of your system - card motherboard chipset, audio, video, network devices, etc.

  • Cannot install ANY video game on Windows 7 (and other problems) _

    No more than 5 MINUTES after starting my new desktop computer the first time, I started having these problems:

    (1) when I try to install a game, I get an error message that says "cannot continue the installation. SAMPLE.exe file missing. "Soon after, a message in the lower right corner will slide upward, saying 'virus Trojan in SAMPLE.exe. The file has been quarantined. When I disable the antivirus software, I can install the game but I can't run it. It hangs after 5 minutes, and then a box pop up appears and says "cannot find the file SAMPLE.exe.

    All the video games I've tried to install are compatible with windows 7.

    (2) when I try to make changes to programs or certain parameters, a box pop up appears and says "You must be logged in as Administrator", when I am logged on as administrator.

    (3) Windows 7 will reorganize randomly my desktop icons.

    (4) Windows Explorer starts that it self.

    (5) sometimes programs will not download to the location I specified. He decided to put it somewhere else.

    panicballoon,
    I agree with KSib, that having these types of problems right out of the box is ridiculous.  I recommend you contact the PC manufacturer for warranty support to get this corrected. Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

  • TX - trying to install a few games

    Sorry I'm new to all this and usually does not need help, but it confused me. I bought a few games to put on my Palm TX, but the installer tells me that I have to put them on a map, so I put the card in the TX and tried to install via hot sync but he won't do it, because there is no application on my handheld that will open these files - I have something put on my TX to do? I can't put games on my TX as I did other palm pilots before - I don't ' know why, but the installation program tells me that the games are go on a card, not your handheld itself. ??? Help please.

    What format are the downloads?  They are in the .zip format?  If so, you must "unpacking" the zip file compressed to find the right Palm files.  Most will include a "Readme" file with installation instructions.

  • CS5 Update Manager keeps trying to install the old updates

    Yesterday, I installed CS5 Master Collection on a replacement computer and used ' Check for Updates ' in Photoshop to download and install the latest versions. This well, but only updated Photoshop 12.0.4 and Illustrator to 15.0.2. I downloaded and installed the PS 12.0.5 and HAVE 15.0.3 manually updated and everything went well (or so I thought) - reports 12.0.5 PS and Illustrator reports 15.0.3 in their dialog boxes "about".

    Tonight, I found an Adobe Update icon in my tray and clicked on it. He tells me he wants to install PS 12.0.4 and HAVE 15.0.2 (a single patch back on each level). I let him run, thinking he would notice that everything was up-to-date. He didn't - he downloaded and tried to install these updates, reports of update failed for both. If I check the updates again, I again offer these two updates.

    I found this old thread http://forums.adobe.com/thread/714043 that deals with a similar problem with Dreamweaver. I tried to delete the C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Adobe\AAMUpdater\1.0 folder and restart as indicated on this thread and it does not solve the problem - the continuous update manager to try to download and install the updates necessary and obsolete.

    How Update Manager to understand that these updates have already been applied? I don't want to just disable checks for these products update, that I'll miss future updates. And I prefer not to disable and uninstall all CS5 Master Collection and reinstall if I have to - that seems a hammer to crush a mosquito.

    I don't want to just disable checks for these products update, that I'll miss future updates.

    There will be none. CS5 is now 2.5 years old and nobody does not return in support of these older versions when CS7 knocks at the door. The day.3 update has been made only after that the public cries largely misinformed on that together major security with certain types of files that has been a complete non-issue for 90% of users, anyway...
