Unable to play Viva pinata

Original title: Viva Piñata pitcher is empty.

Hello

Can someone help me to try and get Viva Piñata to run on the PC please? I have two copies of my brother and I even try to play on each of our computers. The two Win7 64-bit. Mine installs and works fine. However his installs but does not run. The Launcher appears, but no text has in it. I see the purple box which should contain the 'play' button, but you can't click on it so the game does not start.
I uninstalled and reinstalled, updated Games For Windows and DirectX, started the game with the crypto - something (in respect of services in msconfig) on and off but still no success.
If someone has had this problem and knows what is happening we will be very grateful for your help. Thank you.
Kind regards
Ben

Thank you for your help.

1. No, no error messages.
2 No, no, the changes to the computer.

I received the answer of a forum also, but here it is in case someone else has the same problem.
worlds123456 on Viva Piñata forum offered this...
First of all, go to C:\Users\Forest\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Games\Viva Pinata and find Startup.xml then open and instend where says fake type true.
Enter the startup.exe and run the game (Launcher will not be displayed, but this is normal).
Worked perfectly when nothing else did. Thanks to them. And thanks to the members of this forum who tried to help him.

    Hello

    I bought Viva Pinata on PC to play earlier. I finally decided to play tonight and installed it but it does not work.

    I click on the VP icon and my PC is running away with the disk drive turning a moment then nothing. Nothing appears on the screen, my PC just sits there. If I double click on the VP icon one more time, I just get an error message on the screen saying "already another instance of Via Pinata runs.

    I have already searched these forums to see if there is an answer and found this thread:

    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-gaming/unable-to-play-Viva-Pinata/6069b0e0-0eef-4302-8188-1e6ae5f967bf

    but it does not work. I have no folder 'Forest' in the directory. C:\Users\Forest\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Games\Viva Pinata.

    Instead, I C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Games\Viva Pinata, but there is no file "Startup.xml.

    I don't understand what is happening, something is there / running of the onscreen error message.

    I use Windows 7 with a PC perfectly updated.

    Can anyone help? And please keep in mind that I'm not aware of PC technical!

    Thank you

    I actually managed to make it work - I found a solution on another forum, but I can't now to post the link.

    Basically, he said,

    Open Start menu and type "msconfig".

    Select it and click on the 'Services ' section.

    Uncheck 'Received Services' to stop it being run, then 'apply '.

    Restart the PC and the game will run.

    Once finished playing, the same process and turn it back on.

    It is a hassle to have to go through this every time, but at least his job... at least for now.

    Thank you.

    Hi narly101,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. From what you have said, it seems that you are able to view the performance on other devices.
    Because it is related to the AppleTV, there are a few things that we can try to get this performance to play.

    Update the software on your Apple TV - Apple Support

    Once you try again after the update, or if there is no update to do, so go ahead and restart your Apple TV:

    If the problem persists you can consider restoring the AppleTV to factory settings.

    Other performance being able to play, it may be isolated to this one show. If this is the case, you are able to report the concern in the menu video performance.

    Another option because it works on other devices is AirPlay from the computer to the AppleTV.
    Use AirPlay to stream content from iTunes on your computer - Apple Support

  • Qosmio X 870 - GTX 670 M - unable to play all games

    Hello

    I got this new laptop about 3 weeks ago and since I am unable to play all the games using the GTX 670 M GPU. I am able to access the game menu but not less than 30 seconds to play any game, I get a black screen and it brings back me to the desktop.

    I updated the driver, and it shows in Device Manager it does not work properly. I reinstalled the computer to factory setting but still the same problem. The strange thing is that I am able to play all the games using the basic GPU Intel HD 4000 but not the GTX 670 M. Please if anyone can help me I would be greatly appreciated.

  • Satellite C50 - A - 15 L: unable to play audio or video via the media player

    Hi all

    I have problems with my player functions and media browser suddenly - it seems to have taken place after a "significant recent update" (causes more problems than the patches).

    In any case, since this update, I was unable to play video or audio files using the media player or cut and paste all the items when sorting of files.

    All very well before, but now when I pointed out and click "cut", the timer of the cuts and the window goes right to the "not responding". Drag and drop works OK, then go back to delete files.

    Regarding the multimedia files, double-click one and no response, click 'open' and right, once again, nothing...

    Everyone has experienced similar problems?
    Whether a hotfix or patch?

    Thank you very much

    Matt

    From there where I bit you have no problem with the laptop but with Microsoft System.

    "Hotmail" isn t produced by Toshiba.
    If you have problems connecting to the Hotmail account, you must contact Microsoft technical support for help.

    By the way: you can always set the system back to the beginning point of time before receiving updates.
    Windows 8 creates a point of restoration automatically when Windows updates and other system maintenance events.

    Open charm bar (Win key + c), choose the Apps and search for Restore Point. Then click on settings. On the left side, you will see the option called create a restore point.
    New window will open. In the System Protection tab, select the system restore.
    Clicking next would lead to the next step when you restore the computer to the State it was before the selected event (windows update).
