Unexpected freezing problems randomly on Gears of War (PC)
Hello
I have a computer with Vista 32 installed. The main components of the system are;
-Core two 7500 Due (2.93 Ghz)
-6 GB of Ram
-ATI 3870 GPU (Catalyst installed 9.9)
In fact, game performance is perfect, but I have the problem of unexpected freeze at random during the game Gears of War. I have to press ctrl + alt + delete to return to Vista
At first, I thought that it is a memory problem. I used to have 2 x ATI 3870 in cross fire mode and 2046 MB physical memory. To increase the physical memory, I removed one of the card and now I see 3070 MB of physical memory. Then I re-load the game to check the difference, but after 45 minutes the game freezes up to play again. Here are the details;
-At the start of the game, I have used physical memory 59%
-During the game, I have used physical memory 67%
-When the game freeze-up, I have 67 physical memory %
I guess that this is unrelated to the memory. In any case, when I checked the performance of the processor to freeze-up, I can see 100% full load. In my view, that the causes of the problem. I suppose that there is something on the game code that causes my charge of 100% of the CPU and no response.
No idea what can be the problem?
Furthermore, I have similar problems on other games such as Crysis and Red Faction. For example, when I play Crysis on win XP with DirectX 9.0 c, with no no problems, but on Vista with Directx10, Yes. I think that there are some questions on Directx10.
Could you please help?
Thank you
Hello
Check the boot, if the problem is still there and troubleshoot accordingly.

Can't play CRYSIS and GEARS OF WAR on portable computer with card Nvidia 7900 GS?
I wonder if anyone here have the chance to play two games CRYSIS and GEARS OF WAR on PC Toshiba laptop with Nvidia 7900 GS cards.
The reason why I asked this question-> because I have 2 problems:
(1) GEARS OF WAR first need new driver for Nvidia telling me this massage * to run Gears of War with your current hardware configuration, you must install the following software update or updates: *.
* + NVIDIA ForceWare 163.44 driver *.
* If you do not install this software, at some point, the game ends and your progress will be the lost.* and give me another massege when I click on play
the massage is * this application has failed to start because xlive.dll not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem *.
(2) on CRYSIS game working, but with very poor quality and a few fast breaks during playback I tried to graph affecting minimum put the same thing happen...
I hope that someone here can give some advice on the above issues, and a suggestion for a new driver will be appreciated ;)
see you soon
abmanHello
_ _Regarding point 1)
Check out the www.laptopvideo2go.com site and to update the graphics driver!
This site contains some useful nVidia drivers that can run on laptops.
But note; pilots can be used only at your own risk!_ _Regarding point 2)
Crysis needs huge resources for laptop. I think that the card Nvidia 7900 GS is not strong enough to run the game with full graphic details!
I read on some game sites that you need a desktop PC of very high technology with that of the new series of nVidia 8600 to the smooth running of the game!Best regards

I am at a loss to explain what is happening.
Help and advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hey Buddy,
> The game is not graphics intensive and worked for about a month without any problems, has recently started to freeze
This could mean that the laptop is overheating
The reason for overheating is the dust that blocks the fan for laptop gets hotterI recommend to clean using a jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans. You can do it without disassembling the computer so it is very easy and takes only 5 minutes.
Just remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter before doing this.For example I clean my laptop every 4 months because a lot of dust is coming so it s worth it.

It is very possible that your CD may be damaged. Is it possible to get another copy to try on your machine? Or try this copy on another machine to see if it works or not.
Also check in control panel--> system--> for you Device Manager make sure that there is no yellow/red icon next to the CD player and it's function correctly.Let us know the result, Kevin

Gears of war for PC hunting me!
OK, here's the thing. About 1 year ago I downloaded and installed Gears Of War for PC, I had some problems with it (no save option), so I deleted it, but instead of through programs and features (Windows 7), I simply deleted the folders containing the game. I tried to re - install but he kept asking me if I want to uninstall it, when I had already deleted all the files. I click 'Yes' and an error ' could not load the DLL: GameuxInstallHelper "or" cannot load the DLL: FirewallInstallHelper. in any case, I deleted all the files that have nothing to do with the game using Revo Uninstaller, but it did not help... I've removed the Microsoft Games folder I had in Program Files, it has not helped. Now I just download it again and it's always the same thing, when I try to install it, he asks me if I'm sure I want to uninstall it. All - own increases, clicking on all these service tab buttons - always the same tried! THIS GAME IS HUNTING ME! CAN TOU HELP!

Re: Pomp L40 - 18 x: Graphic is distorted playing Gear of Wars
Hello! I installed the game gear of wars, but the graphic is distorted.
Any advice?
I have some video diver already upgraded to the latest version.
Hello Juanito
Please take a look again in the announcement made by InvaderZim.
He said that the L40-18 x laptop computer is not a real game machine. I agree with InvaderZim.The Intel graphics card was not designed for games. Of course, you would be able to play the games, but you shouldn't t expect any graphic performance.
In addition, you use a Win Vista OS. This OS needs more resources for laptop running Win XP for example. That's why you should t wonder that your game does not work smoothly!
With regard to the patch of the game.
I put t know if a fix is available or not but if it s is available, then you should check the Web site of manufacture of game for more details.See you soon

then consider the possibility that your anti-malware program may not be set up and that's all that scanning actively all the time, including the frequent updates of the registry hive. You can temporarily turn off and see if that helps.

Gears of War (G4WLIVE-PC) to install/run/uninstall/reinstall issues
Hi all!
I bought Gears of War (pc), and after the installation of many issues, I thought that I had finally seen to install. Trying to play, I received an error message indicating that a file was missing. so I tried to remove the program. Now, it will not uninstall OR reinstall. Nor will he play in all.
This is the first dialogue-
«Windows cannot find ' C:\Program Files (x 86) War\binaries\startup.exe \Microsoft Games\Gears ".»
"Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again."
I checked the installation folder and "startup.exe" folder was not there, but was the 'starting' So I clicked it. That's what I got:
"C:\Program File (x 86) War\Binaries\wargame-g4wlive.exe \Microsoft Games\Gears: you can not run the.
"game with the modified executable code. Please reinstall the game. »
So I tried to uninstall the game in order to reinstall the game, and I get this:
"Error number: 0 x 80040702.
«Description: failed to load DLL: GameuxInstallHelper.»
"The installation program will now take."
In short: the game doesn't have to install and now won't uninstall.
ANY help to solve this will be greatly appreciated.

Hi MaxLamoureux,
I appreciate your time display. According to my research, Microsoft Gears of War Version 1 & 2 are not compatible with Windows 7. You can check this link to see compatibility information.
As the game is not compatible with Windows 7, I would ask you to uninstall it and reinstall in compatibility mode.
