Unable to get a CD-ROM to start. Is a graphics card an external device or that should already be in my system?

My son bought a hotwheels cd-rom, but it does not start - "some of your hardware does not meet the requirements to play... '. "The computer is new with windows vista professional.  I checked all the system requirements and they are very well except maybe the "directx 9.0 compatible 3d graphics card" is something that should be on my system or something external?
Thanks in advance.
Amy

Your card probably is dx9 compatible, if your computer is capable of running Vista.

I would check with the manufacturer of the game itself for a stamp.  The game may have preceded the Vista and doesn't know if it can work or not on the operating system.  You can also right click on the game icon, choose Properties, choose compatibility and choose "Run this program in compatibility mode for Windows XP Service Pack 2" and see if it works for you.

  • I am unable to get my CD-Rom drive in Windows 7.

    Hello. How to make a cd rom to run on windows 7? I can't for the life of me get by. gruff, the CD can be played on a windows uodated version? Help, please! I tried troubleshooting, but it did not help. Thank you

    original title: CD Rom compatibility with windows 7

    Hello hZL,.

    There is no "generic" setting, but I wonder how old it is and if it is actually compatible with Windows 7. It seems that the problem lies in the software, not, as we thought the CD-ROM. You may need to install an application on the CD before you can actually use the CD itself. If the software is really old, then he can simply not be compatible with Windows 7 in which case you may need to upgrade the software, if this is possible, of course.

    The software runs under Windows Vista? If so, it should work on Windows 7. The software works on Windows XP? If so there could be a compatibility issue with Windows 7. As a suggestion, assuming it worked on Windows XP you have tried to install the application in compatibility mode? You can access the file "setup.exe", you say? If so right click on this file and in the dropdown menu, select Properties. In the properties, click the Compatibility Mode tab, place a check in the box "run this program in compaitibilty mode for" in the box below, and then select XP (XP should already be selected, but if it isn't, click on the arrow to the right of the dialog box and select it from the list.) The software installation file should settle now.

    If this does not work then you may need to contact the software manufacturer to see if they have versions of Windows 7 that you can upgrade.

  • Alienware Aurora r4 does not start with new graphics card.

    Hey,.

    I have an alienware aurora end of 2012 I believe.

    I currently have a series of 6800 AMD raedon graphics card, processor 3930 r9 k i7 and 8 GB of ram.

    I recently bought a MSI gtx 970 game to replace my old graphics card. I plug this card and it even lights up when I turn on the computer, but however my pc only happens to the start screen where I get the choice after pressing F2 and F12 and then freezes and I can't do anything. I then hear 3 beeps of inside my pc and then it proceeds to a blackscreen where my only choice is to turn it off manually.

    I tried to uppgrade my BIOS without much success (dident make it work), uninstall all graphics drivers from AMD, but nothing has changed.

    So I'm clueless I'm kinda a noob of the pc and have no idea what could cause this and would love help to explain what happens if all goes well if anyone knows a fix.

    THX in advance :)

    You you connected all power cables required PCIe 970? They are probably different config as AMD-6800. You should have 875w PS, but you might need to check that.

    Probably should have uninstalled AMD Driver Suite (catalyst) before removing the card from AMD.

    If card MSI BIOS a double switch, you can try another position.

    Try Mode Windows safe.

    What operating system do you use? Are you running the UEFI BIOS or legacy Mode?

  • I'm unable to get a signed application to start

    I built a small built-in browser JavaFX application that uses a "FileChooser" element to access a file on the desktop.

    I'm fairly certain that this file access will require the application must be signed, what I did with a real certificate. (I also tried with a self-generated certificate too, with the same results.)

    The problem is this race, that it results in an error in the browser:
    "Run-time error. Click for more information"(Firefox)

    Or on IE:
    «JavaFX application failed to launch because of the configuration of the system (error show Invisibles).» See java.com/javafx for troubleshooting information. The 'details' really say anything in particular that gives me a clue.

    I get the result even if I try to run the application directly from Netbeans. However, if I deselect the option "Request unlimited access" in the project properties, the application will run (from Netbeans as well as deployed on a server), but the file you choose won't work, because of a security violation.

    Can someone tell what I am doing wrong? I guess that these signed applications should work at this point. Maybe it's something in my code, but I'm a little bit lost at the moment.

    With the #1 option - I have modified and rebuilt the pots 3 rd-party and them referenced in NetBeans. When I choose clean and build, the treated Ant produces an error: "jarsigner returns 1. So it doesn't seem to work at all.

    As long you have re-built the jars properly without the original signature, I think it should work.
    Here is an example of unsigning a pot using Ant:
    http://Frank.zinepal.com/unsign-a-jar-with-Ant

    Don't you think that the idea of multiple-JNLP would work if NetBeans applies to "my" signature for 3 rd-party bribes? Apart from manually copying the original pots in the \dist directory, is there a better way to tell NetBeans to leave the JAR 3 rd-party only (IE, not to sign again)?

    I think it is supposed to work (this is the mixed code signing situation I mentioned in my previous post).
    For example, from your description that looks like the build of NetBeans default can't really not this type of deployment, so you should create a custom version that does what you need and are not triggered by NetBeans - what is feasible, but boring - it's looks like you tried this, but have been unable to operate as expected. For NetBeans specific help, you better post to a forum of NetBeans (although you might be only the second person who tried to do it with a JavaFX application).

    You should also check that the end-user experience is acceptable, because I think that the dialog box and alert to the situation of mixed code management is different.

    Search the section deployment guide "use for the descriptors of the Extension"-I think it documents how to do what you want if you are using a rather custom build file to let the NetBeans to do the work:
    http://docs.Oracle.com/JavaFX/2/deployment/javafx_ant_task_reference002.htm#CIABGCEE

    Hmm, a lot of running to walk around to deploy an application that can open a file...

  • How to get the right drivers for ati mobility radeon graphics card 9200 after updating to windows 7

    I bought a laptop computer, an HP Compaq nx7010.  This has been upgraded to windows 7, but the graphics are bad.  There is a sticker on the unit: Graphics by ATI Mobility Radeon 9200

    How can I get the correct driver to get corrected the desktop resolution? Everything is tense or too big.

    Driver update tools keep telling me this is an adapter to graphics standard VGA etc and if I try to update the adapter it device manager says that they are up to date.

    It's frustrating

    Hello:

    I think that Erico post driver will work, but it cannot simply install by running.

    Download it and run it.  If IT errors out or is not installed, then this:

    Go to Device Manager and click on the VGA Standard controller.

    Then click on the driver tab, click on set to update driver.  Select the 'Browse my computer for software' and navigate to the installation folder that was created when you ran the driver.

    This file will be located in C:\SWSetup\sp30204.  Make sure that the include subfolders is selected and I hope that the driver will be installed.  If this isn't the case, you are unfortunately out of luck.

    The video card in your laptop (Mobility Radeon 9200) is not Direct X 9 capable it is why it does not work.  In other words, it is not windows vista or windows 7 capable.

    If you are able to get the driver to install to be able to change your resolution, which is the best you can do.

    You don't have Aero with this adapter - never.
