Under the version release candidate of Win7, I was able to run Civilization 4 and Star Fleet Command 3

Under the version release candidate of Win7, I was able to run Civilization 4 and Star Fleet Command 3.  Now, after installing Win7 Ultimate licensed version, I can't play either of these games.  I followed all the recommendations posted on this site and others but have not been able to solve the problems.  CIV 4 does not work due to the cd when cd is in the drive and just SFC3 locks the computer.  I really like Win7, but think to give up and reinstall Windows XP, which would be a major undertaking at this stage.

Help, please.

Thank you

Hello Squidoutofguam.

Games don't work under Linux at all accepts by emulation, and to be honest with the applications as big and complicated as the games will not have much success.  They are written for Windows.

More details without some its going to be hard to solve the problems.  Obviously something is not configured properly with your machine, or there may be hardware problems at work here.  I had no problem with SimCity 4 or Civ 4 (even if I use a crack no CD for Civ 4) on my machine (64-bit).

The first thing I would do would be to get the latest drivers for your video from the nVidia Web site card.  The second thing I would do would be to close all background applications, and finally then I would probably run a test on your RAM, (just search Windows Memory Diagnostic in the Start Menu).  I have also try to create a new user account and try the games under this one.

If you could be more specific with what games works, by Microsoft do you mean the built-in Windows games, or titles such as Age of Empires, Halo or Gears of War?  And how they work not, error messages, crash dumps etc.  This would help.

Please post back to let us know what works and what does not. :-)

  • Organizer 14 is suspended under the Version of El Capitan 10.11.2

    Items 13 and 14, the organiser hangs when it runs under the Version El Capitan 10.11.2 (currently from 12/11/15, the most recent version).

    The organizer has operated correctly in Yosemite.

    The editor works correctly.

    Will it be ever fixed or who's responsible for the breakup of the feature; Apple or Adobe?

    Anyone else have this problem?

    Try trashing preferences of the organizer for both applications. Elements to leave and go to your library user (replace with your own name of 99jon)

    Macintosh HD > users > 99jon > library > Preferences

  • [Consolidation-locked] Any possibility the Nikon D600 will be in the next Release Candidate of Lightroom?

    Hello, I just pre-ordered the Nikon D600 and incredibly, he'll be here next week some time.

    My question is how long after he leaves before Lightroom 4 supports the raw file? I know its short notice, but is it possible that it will be in the next release candidate (4.2 according to me, is the following?)

    Is there a temporary workaround solution to change the images in LR that until get official support? for example you can save the raw D600 (.) NEF) for one. DNG import into LR4?

    Thanks for your time, I look forward to this camera, but I can't live without LR4 :)

  • Portege M400 - Vista installation under the version of BIOS 1.80

    Hello

    I came to the decision to install vista on my M400. I upgraded my BIOS to 3.40. However, I really only want the quiet fan so I was wondering if it was possible to run Vista under BIOS v1.80 and, if so, whether it would impact performance in any way.

    AFAIK Portege M400 (PPM40) is supported in Vista, but I don't really know what will happen with fan and noise. Just testing everything. If you don't like Vista, you can install recovery image at any time again.

  • Why does firefox 16.0.1 allows me not to click on the buttons in the top 40mm under the banners, if I can get to them by tab to a button, and then press 'Enter '?

    It doesn't matter what web page I'm on, top 40mm or so of the screen is a dead zone to click on buttons or links. for example, in Google, I can click a link further down the page and are transferred to the new article - but if I had to move the element to the top more near the top of the page the link would no longer operate.

    I can go to a link by repeated use of the "Tab" key until the button or the link is shown and then press 'Enter' to use the link, but this is potentially very time-consuming if there are many links on the page.

    I use a Toshiba Satellite L750 loaded with Windows 7 and Firefox 16.0.

    Problems with the buttons and links at the top of the page does not can be caused by an extension as the toolbar Yahoo! or Babylon that spans both down and covers the top of the browser window and therefore links and buttons in this part of the screen not clickable.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

    • Do not click on the reset button on the start safe mode window or make changes.

  • Export Captive runtime failure in the version Release

    I have a desktop actionscipt project. in Flash Builder 4.7, I thought I installed AIR 4.0sdk correctly.  Certainly, he works in the debugging and execution mode.

    When I export Release version with signed with captive runtime application, it generates the project in the folder of the release-temp.  I then click Finish and it gives me this error "error creating file:Copy failed."

    I am guessing that this is not something to do with my project and more to do with my install/air4.0sdk.  any ideas?

    Solved by myself.  export to another drive. in my case-office.

    turns out that I can't copy on volume of terrablock that I work out.  I realized this after trying to do so only in Flash Pro.  I got a crazy error message.  I Googled it and I found a ticket I commented over a period of 6 months ago.  Talking to myself future look here - http://forums.adobe.com/message/5475543

  • Does not start under the versions of FF 43 + because "mozglue.dll is missing" - when it is not

    I was happy with FF v43 until what I decided to upgrade to v50. Installed, he would not, saying: 'mozglue.dll' was absent. I found on Google that other users had the same problem, with some advice that AVG might be the problem. I found the mozglue.dll was actually in Program Files - and repeated uninstalls and reinstalls FF v50 with also uninstalled AVG makes no difference. I found (wrongly) that reuse my original installation file of v43 then produces the same result - until I discovered that FF has been updated my v47 v43 within seconds after the launch. I finally beat FF auto update to access the Option 'do not update', so I have a job, although the old version of Firefox. Any advice would be welcome - while I play around with various solutions to bypass the annoying warnings on my FF being obsolete and its effect on modules etc.. PS: I'm very happy (and stubbornly) Windows XP Professional 64 - bit sp2, but I suggest that this is not my OS at fault because people with others using a variety of OS.

    Separate security problem: update your Flash Player Note: Windows users need to download the active_x for Internet Explorer. and the plugin Plugin browser (like Firefox).

    Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built-in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the plugin only. Not the active_x.

    Flash Player Version: 23.0.0 207 Flash Player (Linux) Version 11.2 202.644

    https://get.Adobe.com/flashplayer/ Direct link scans the current system and the browser Note: other software is available in the download.

    https://get.Adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ Step 1: Select the operating system, step 2: select a Version (Firefox, Win THE...). Note: other software is available in the download.
