• I want to play my old games

  When we went from windows 98 to Vista, all my old sedentary games that don't involve not destroy the world, killing all the aliens or being generally destructive wouldn't.
  Payment of another amount of xxx £ will allow me relaxing games that help to freshen up and calm down after the frenetic work that I do, be playable on the new system? or should I just go to a boot sale and buy an old machine?

  In The Settlers series is you should try the official table . There are a lot of people play games (or attempt to play games) on XP/Vista and later versions.

  I know for a fact that the settlers 2 can run on Windows Vista because gog.com re-released with Vista compatibility. Generally good old games (gog.com) do things that users want not themselves, which means: the search for solutions make the old XP/Vista-compatible games, then releasing a new installer (with the authorization of the owners of copyright, of course). However, there are solutions for the most of old games without the need to pass through services such as GOG, if you have the original CD. The only thing is that it may take some research, download, tweaking and hit in the right places (like the link I mentioned above for The Settlers) before the game to work perfectly on the latest OS.

  To answer your first question, if you have never got a game to work on Vista, there is little chance that this will work better on Windows 7 so spend more money for a newer OS is not the solution.  However, if you manage to get a game running on Vista, the chances that it will also work on seven (using the same advice as you applied for Vista) are very good.

  The only advice I can give you is to start with a search in your favorite search engine (Google, Bing... whatever) on the web for the title of the game you have in mind and 'Windows Vista' (for example for settlers 2, you would type in ' settlers "Windows Vista' 2" -citations are important because they tell the search engine to look for settlers 2 and Windows Vista on the same page ") rather than look for all of the word so that will save you a large number of irrelevant results) and then review the results. Depending on the game (is it well known? Is there a community of users around it well?) the chances to quickly find and answer to run your old games on your system may vary. Generally, you will be able to more quickly find reliable solutions for games that are followed by a strong community for games that nobody don't even remember. Some old games with a huge fan base have community sites already there to help you and that probably already have all the answers (like the thief with ttlg.com series). On the other hand, you can be out of luck if you have a game that few people care about play.

  Good luck in your search...

• Trying to play older pc games

  I don't know why but I can play the first Unreal Tournament, but I can't play the other. So I tried to go back to windows xp professional, but know that I can't even go back to that. I have some old pc games like COLLECTION of COMMAND & CONQUER, ARMED & DANGEROUS, WARCRAFT 2 and 3, EMPIRES DAWN OF THE MODERN WORLD.

  Hi Oscar_72,

  ·         You get errors while trying to play these games?

  ·         What version of windows are you using?

  If a program written for an earlier version of Windows does not correctly, use the program compatibility Wizard to change the program compatibility settings. To manually change the settings of a program, use the individual program's compatibility tab.

• Reg.exe stopped working on windows 7 64 bit when I want to play an old game.

  Hello guys. I am using windows 7 Home premium 64-bit in my laptop. I just downloaded an old game (2005-2006 perhaps) so I wanted to play. After finishing download (no virus, I checked), and I run the executable files, the message occurred: Reg.exe has stopped working. and the game does not start.

  The game has an application inside reg.exe file, and I think I have to run it manually. but when I tried to run it, the same message is produced.

  This is the error log:

  Signature of the problem:
  Problem event name: BEX
  

  Application name: reg.exe
  Application version: 0.0.0.0
  Application timestamp: 44eeabe9
  Fault Module name: StackHash_0a9e
  Fault Module Version: 0.0.0.0
  Fault Module Timestamp: 00000000
  Exception offset: 0018fedb
  Exception code: c0000005
  The exception data: badc0de1
  OS version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.768.3
  Locale ID: 1033
  Additional information 1: 0a9e

  Additional information 3: 0a9e
  Additional information 4: 0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789

  I already asked in a computer forum, but they said that it is the problem of the ILO. and I read in microsoft help, the reg.exe will not run under 64-bit windows. I read the conclusion, but this isn't for windows server 2003, Windows 7. It says that I have to type reg query \\64server\HKLM\software/reg: 64 or if I want to change it to 32 bits reg.exe, I need to replace the reg: 64 by reg: 32.

  Will there be another conclusion of this problem instead to install the 32-bit operating system?

  What about XP mode for windows 7, it'll work?

  Help me please... Thank you very much.

  Best regards

  Hi Liclac,

  ·        What is the name of the game?

  Check if the game is compatible with windows 7, you can see the ink below:http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/default.aspx

  If the game is not compatible then you can try to run the game in compatibility mode or in windows XP mode.

  Try to run the game in compatibility mod and check if the error occurs again: make sure to run older programs in this version of Windows:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows

• I have Marika Odyssey and Relentless Twinsens on CD (these games are also known as the Little Big Adventure and Little Big Adventure 2). I want to be able to play the old games on my Vista computer.

  My Vista is a DellDimension DXP061
  the system type is a 32-bit operating system

  I liked to play these two games, many years ago. the CD has finally broken. I just put once more hold of these two games and was hoping there was a way I could play.

  Oh I forgot also. I tried using dosbox, but it doesn't seem to work for my computer. When I tried to use it on LBA I was able to type my name and started the game and it froze quickly.

  Hi aminal Merlin,

  Most programs written for an earlier version of Windows also work in this version of Windows, but some older programs might run poorly or not at all. If an older program does not work, use the compatibility mode to run these programs.

  1. right click on the main game program icon that you want to play in this version of Windows, and then click Properties.

  2. click on the Compatibility tab.

  3. under "Compatibility Mode", check the box that reads as "run the program in compatibility mode for" and in the drop-down menu, select Windows XP or another previous version of Windows.

  4. click on apply and then OK.

  5 install the game in compatibility mode and restart once the installation is complete.

  Check if this helps you play these games in Windows Vista.

  6. for more information on running a program in compatibility mode, see the following link.

• TRYING to INSTALL a OLD GAME ON WINDOWS VISTA MISSING COMPONENT WINDOWS d3drm:dll

  I HAVE AN O.LD COPY OF MARTYN MYSTER OPERATION DORAN GRAY IT INSTALLS OK. WHEN I TRY AND RUN IT, IT LOADS THE TITLE SCREEN BUT THEN THE SCREEN TURNS WHITE.

  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.

• Create the new virtual machine using Java API vCloud

  Hi guys,.

  I am trying to create the new virtual machine in TIME, but I've stuck here. The API I'm using is vcloud-java-sdk - 1.0.jar.

  Could you please show me a code snippet how to do this?

  For now I do it like this:

  RecomposeVAppParamsType recomposeVAppParamsType = new RecomposeVAppParamsType();

  List the items < CompositionItemParamType > = recomposeVAppParamsType.getItem ();
  ReferenceType vappTemplateVMRef = new ReferenceType();

  // ??? seems that new reference to the new virtual machine should be here. But how to create this VM
  CompositionItemParamType compositionItemParamType = new CompositionItemParamType();
  compositionItemParamType.setSource (vappTemplateVMRef);

  Items.Add (compositionItemParamType);
  ReferenceType vAppRef is Vdc.getVdcByReference (vcloudClient, vdcRef) .getVappRefByName ("vApp_Websrv");.

  Vapp.getVappByReference (vcloudClient, vAppRef) .recomposeVapp (recomposeVAppParamsType);

  One day before I played with Web Services SDK, which is much easier to understand. I was able to create the vApp and VMs in vSphere. Is it possible to import machines virtual vSphere to vCloud? Should what API I use for this?

  Thank you

  Hello

  You cannot add a new empty virtual machine in a paralytic.

  Instead, you can add a virtual machine from an existing vapp, vapptemplate.

  To import a vsphere vm to vcloud.

  Import vsphere vm as VAPP in vcloud. VMWVimserver-> importVmAsVApp()

  The importation of vsphere vm, as vAppTemplate, in vcloud. VMWVimserver-> importVmAsVAppTemplate()

  See also the example of ImportVmAsvAppTemplate.java, which is part of the vcloudjavasdk group.

• Start the virtual machine and wait for WF, does not connect to the computer virtual for Vds (Windows 2008 R2)

  Hello

  See a strange problem with only a Windows 2008 R2 model. When you use the built-in function "Start VM and wait" workflow to start a virtual machine (after conversion from a template either manually, or through workflow) NIC of the virtual machine (I tried VMXNET3 and e1000 times) does not connect to the problem. Vds can be replicated in a different VCenter, so spreading the vds. I also created several models of Windows 2008 r2 and all have this problem.

  If the model is converted and started outside VRO, it gets an IP from and is connected to the VDS immediately

  Tried add/remove the NIC of the model

  Tried to move the comments on different hosts

  Tried to create a new template from scratch

  NOTE: Windows 2012 R2 doesn't have this problem in the same circles, the only constant is the Windows 2008 R2 being started by VRO.

  Anyone seen this before?

  I found this article and it fixed my problem VMware KB: registration or the deployment of a virtual computer model fails apparently a fix a problem in ESX 5.1, 5.5 (I used the option to get around and things are good)

• start a virtual machine at startup of windows 7 via issue of short boot cut

  Hi Experts

  I am running Win7 with 10 Workstation. I'm trying to start a VM at startup as its suppose to host my server cloud. Then I don't have to manually start the virtual machine each time.

  I put a shortcut to vmware workstation in the startup folder in the start menu. And followed the guide of the user of the WS10, excerpts below:

  Incorporate the workstation Startup Options in a Windows shortcut

  1 right click on the shortcut of the workstation and select Properties.

  2 in the target text box, add all the options to use after the vmware.exe and place the entire order

  quoted string.

  For example:

  «C:\Program VMware Workstation\vmware.exe x»

  C:\Documents and utilisateur\Mes Documents\My Me\Windows Machines\Windows Settings\nom virtual

  Me.vmx ".

  So I did the same thing, but when I put in the path to my vmx file I get an error how the target path is invalid. That's what I put:

  "C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\VMware Workstation\vmware.exe x - D:\My Documents\Virtual Machines\OwnCloud_2nd\OwnCloud_2nd.vmx.

  But when I run it as a command such as file below, it works:

  CD "C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\VMware Workstation\.

  VMware.exe - x "D:\My Documents\Virtual Machines\OwnCloud_2nd\OwnCloud_2nd.vmx"

  output

  can someone point out to me what am I doing wrong?

  Form the command as follows: "C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\VMware"-x "D:\My Documents\Virtual Machines\OwnCloud_2nd\OwnCloud_2nd.vmx.

  Or you can configure the virtual machine to run as a Virtual Machine shared.  Check out the VMware Workstation Documentation and or the help file.

  You can create and start only 32-bit virtual machines, right?

  .. .but if I get a VM to another system comes to every time this error:

  This happens only with VMS 64-bit, right?

  Most likely, you have an Intel processor.  VT - x is necessary for the performance of the VMS 64-bit on Intel processors, and it is likely that the VT - x is turned off in your BIOS.  See troubleshooting problems of Intel VT - x.

• Virtual machines showing uprotected for HA

  Hello

  I have two clusters running esxi 5.0.0 474610 on all hosts, I have a few virtual machines showing that they are not protected by HA. Some research has returned I should just uncheck and recheck the HA option, but what effect does this have on the cluster or host themselves? I'm a bit of a newbie to VMware, so I'm still learning, thank you.

  The State shows s without protection after you migrate the virtual machine from the cluster. If yes its known problem KB2012682 check

  should just uncheck and recheck the HA option, but what effect this has on the cluster or host themselves

  Disable and re-enable the cluster will have no impact on the virtual machine
