Video game does not

I have the game Grand Theft Auto (1) and it gives me the menu screen, but when I click start game it stops!

Hello KittyKatherine,

Thank you for posting.  Are you referring to the first GTA which was released in 1997?  If you are, I strongly suspect that you are experiencing compatibility issues that might not have a solution.  The only option that I have and that might help you is to uninstall the game and then reinstall it using the compatibility mode for Windows 98.  Proceed as follows in the game CD-ROM for installation or installer of navigation and then right-click and select Properties.  Once in the properties, you must select compatibility and chosse the Windows 98 mode.  because the GTA games has not really taken off until the series GTA III and later, you won't might be able to find any patches or updates that would help you.

Please let me know if this helps you. Zack

  • Game room requires a video card that supports shader model 3.0 your video card does not meet these requirements

    I downloaded Microsoft Games for Windows - Live. I then downloaded & installed the game games room. When I tried to play it I got this error: game room requires a video card that supports shader model 3.0 your video card does not meet these requirements: How can I fix? Will this work? http://www.download3k.com/system-utilities/system-maintenance/download-graphics-card-driver-update.html

    Hello Ann42633,

    If you have not changed the video card that you purchased your computer, you can visit the Dell Web site and use the service tag to determine the video card.

    In addition, you can locate the type of video card you have by the following text:

    -Click Start

    -Type Device Manager into the start menu search box, press enter

    -Develop graphics cards

    You must also obtain the appropriate driver from the Dell Web site and update your video card.

    Hope this helps

  • installed pes 2013 on laptop when you select game get error message "video card does not meet the required specifications (GPU:VRAM 128 MB)" can anyone help?

    installed pes 2013 on laptop when you select game get error message "video card does not meet the required specifications (GPU:VRAM 128 MB)" can anyone help?

    This means what he says.  You do not have the minimum required VRAM.
    The minimum specs for the game is listed as 128 MB of VRAM, but is supposed to work
    on the graphics card integrated Intel 2000/3000.
    The amount of VIDEO memory dedicated on laptops is apparently determined by the FAB of the laptop.

    Without knowing which laptop, or if it is one that has a dedicated graphics card, I guess that your laptop uses integrated graphics that devotes too little of VRAM (64 MB?),
    If it does not the minimum requirement of 128 MB of VRAM.

  • XPS 400 video controller does not

    I have a XPS 400 desktop computer that runs currently the 10 Insider Preview Windows operating system and its video controller does not work and so he struggles to play YouTube videos and he is totally unable to play games should be able to play. I once had this computer to run an operating system called Linux Mint and the video controller worked fine until I put Windows 10 on it. In Device Manager the video controller appears under other devices with an exclamation point. I tried to have the search system automatically updates of pilot, but he can't find. In the past I thought that the video controller was that of an AMD processor, but I don't remember why. Recently I watched the original specifications and it comes with an NVIDIA GEFORCE 6800, so I'm not sure she has and this computer has done to my knowledge undergo updates before I owned it but I don't know if its video controller has been changed. Nevertheless, I tried to get help thinking it is an AMD but nothing helps and I tried to download the drivers from NVIDIA but it still does not work as there is very little information on the video controller. Does anyone know a way I could get the video controller to work?

    10 Windows will have to use vista old drivers for video cards of vacuum tube.  XPS 400/Dimension 9150 can run windows etc. 8 or 10.

  • Since Apple ridiculously decided to abandon the center of games tab of my friends in the game does not load automatically and I have to go to GC and click the circle of friends so he could load, MORE I wonder constantly if I want to use my game stored loc

    Since Apple decided to abandon the center of games tab of my friends in the game does not load automatically and I have to go to GC icon and tap the circle of friends so he could load several times, MORE we continue to request if I want to use my game stored locally or my stored GC game. I refuse to install iOS 10, because it means of course I won't be able to manually load the tab my friends and my losing my game completely. How can I fix it? Remove the Center game is the worst thing that Apple could have done, in my humble OPINION.

    You will not lose your game entirely. I have several games of game Center, and they work fine. And I understand the developer of a game that this game center continues to store the backup of your game.

    It's just that now friending is handled via the interface of the game. The only options that you have in iOS10 is to go to the settings panel in / log out of game center or remove all friends. And none of the games I play has updated so I can see how their friending works with iOS10.

    Beyond providing the basic interface, Apple seems to have turned all aspects of the social game on the games themselves.

    If you want to make Apple know how you feel, you can leave your comments via this form

  • I have firefox 13 and 15 but realplayer download this video option does not work, extensions to save plugin is disabled, if no videos do not play in youtube

    I have Firefox 13 and real player 15, but the download this video option does not work, under extensions to save browser plugin is disabled, but if active videos do not play in youtube, error occurs, it's major drawback, it works well with IE, but I prefer Firefox so any help to rectify the issue is appreciated.

    One possibility is to upgrade to Flash 11.2 and re - activate the Plugin RealPlayer browser Record extension in the Add-ons Manager (Tools > Modules > Extensions) (it's a softblock).

    If you need to return to 11.2 Flash you can download Player Flash 11.2 through this direct link:

    You must uninstall version 11.3 Flash.

  • Qosmio G30-155: video Capture does not work using s-video in port

    Toshiba Qosmio G30-155 video capture does not work via the ports of the video (Windows Vista Ultimate x 86) victory of version 3.90 BIOS
    Video capture does not work in Windows Media Center, even if selected as ports of entry port composite or s-video in Windows Media Center settings.

    In the BIOS version 3.90 parameters via esc - F1 can only select this option: NTSC (USA), NTSC (Japan), PAL (S-video).

    It is worth noting that the laptop is supposed to be capture NTSC for composite input mode

    Someone turned to make this model of video capture for laptop, via composite video input with the new version of the BIOS (version 3.90 win)?

    Can you please explain what you want to do exactly?

    Many years ago I had this old Qosmio with TV tuner and antenna in port so I used it to transfer my old VHS format videos and burn movie DVDs.

    To this end, I didn't use Windows Media Center. Why you n t use other recording applications. I think that everyone is better than Windows Media Center.

    Hello mpm068,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    Since your iSight webcam works up to the time that your Mac goes to sleep, I would like you to start please help desk trying to replicate this problem then to reboot in safe mode:

    1. Choose the Apple menu > shut down.

    2. After your Mac stops, wait 10 seconds, then press the power button.

    3. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.

      You must press the SHIFT key as soon as possible once you hear the startup tone, but not before.

    4. Release the SHIFT key when you see the gray Apple logo and progress indicator.

    To exit safe mode, restart your Mac, but no press during the startup.

    OS X El Capitan: start in safe mode

    Take care.

  • Highlight in the game does not not after update 10.2.1

    Just updated to 10.2.1. Never had a problem with spirals in game before now.

    However scroll in the game does not simply work in the main area. Sometimes it scrolls, but it is buggy, biased and bouncing around. Very weird. Other times, than it does not simply scroll. It works very well in the sandbox of the editor.

    I have the blue scroll in the checked play icon. I tried with all three settings (right click on icon) and their many variations, but it still does not work properly.

    Any thoughts?

    Yes... Confirmed known bug... Unfortunately.

  • NeverWinter Nights game does not not in Windows 7

    Game does not
    Some1 could help me get some winter nights never work on windows 7, the game installs fine, but when I press the play icon the game starts the busy mouse pointer, but then it just stops and goes no further.

    I knew these same problems with NWN NWN2 plays very well on Windows 7. Apparently there is a compatibility problem with NWN after hitting the game and the appearance of the spash screen. I tried everything, except a personal plea to Bioware/Atari technical support to solve this recurring problem for thousands of user frustration. I recently bought this game (Neverwinter Nights, The Complete Collection) which was released on November 16, 2011 and there still problems reported above. The developer has been unable or refused to issue a new patch to address these problems. If all goes well, Dungeons & Dragons, The classic Anthology which was released by Atari on the same day that the above product will play without any problem. Time will tell that I have not yet received. He is currently on an expedition. To anyone interested, it includes 8 games as well including Baldur's Gate I & II, Tales of the Sword Coast, Icewind Dale I & II, Temple of Elemental Evil, etc.
