Virtually none of my older games will take place

I am very frustrated and disappointed that if some of my old games will work on Windows 7, when I could get virtually all operate on XP.  Compatibility mode has been completely useless in most cases.  Under XP, I could run various corrections and possibly get all this work.  Two - two, on more than 100 - my old games, tried dozens so far, work on Win7.  I love nothing more than for XP back.  If not, is there something I can do?  My display driver does not support disabling my Quad core.  I have a hP with an AMD Athlon II x 4 630 processor p6310y, if that helps.  Thanks for any help.

You are welcome.

  • If I create a WinPE 2.0 distribution (Syslinux or PXElinux) which will take place on one of the machines running 'something Microsoft' what are the implications of license?

    The WinPE Licensing implications

    Hello

    I have a number of customers with machines that are fully licensed with XP, XPe or Vista.
    Each of these clients have a device that we have created, piloted by drivers custom within the OS.  The operating system will sometimes funny (corruption, etc.) causing the device to not function.
    I decided to create a diagnostic utility to check whether the fault is in the operating system, driver or device.  Because the fault could be deep in the operating system, the only way I can see to do is through WinPE
    I searched the net, but can do not seem to arrive at an acceptable legitimate answer... So here's my question.
    If I create a WinPE 2.0 distribution, either for CD, USB or chain loaded from Linux (Syslinux or PXElinux) which will take place on one of the machines running 'something Microsoft' what are the implications of license? Is it legal?
    Operating system licenses are not owned by us, but our customers if we do not have mass of licensing agreements or something like that.
    The plan is to create a unique distribution and add drivers to it that we encounter different machines.  I know it's frowned upon to speak Hirens on a MS site, but something similar to that (I won't use Hirens because I want that it is completely legitimate)
    I called him to the reading of the license with WAIK, but can do not seem to find anything about this.

    You should probably just download the demo version of the EP 12 and see if you can live with it.

    Download a free trial version or buy Adobe products | Adobe Downloads

    That being said, you tried to install PES 1 on your computer?

    How much free space is on your hard drive?

    You have Internet Explorer 10 or 11?

    PSE 1 can run on windows 7 x 64, if certain conditions are met.

  • I had problems with my gc, cleaned and he is now allowed outside my control file system system, that it will take place at 68% and stops running

    I had problems with my graphics card cleaned and it works well apart from the system of checking file system on C: turns 68% and stops. If I have to cancel the computer checking seems to work ok, or is it?

    I guess that Mark_S_Sloan is talking about chkdsk /r or running a disk check with fixed error on a restart. so I would say that what I used to say the performance is chkdsk:

    The chkdsk/r can take a long time to complete depending on the size of the volume, the amount of data on the volume, the speed of the system and what chkdsk is to do.  It take about 2 hours for chkdsk/r run on one of the volumes of my1TB (I'm a right that I rarely run).

    It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.  Give him a chance.

    @Imran M - Microsoft technical support engineer:

    Don't you know that the performance of the auditor of the filesystem (sfc/scannow) does not provide a percentage of completion?  Have you ever used it?

    He also really tell you anything about what he did, or could have done when it is executed even if she finds something to do.

    Everything you see in the Event Viewer system log are messages like this:

    Event type: Information
    Event source: Windows File Protection
    Event category: no

    .. few time later...

    Event type: Information
    Event source: Windows File Protection
    Event category: no
    Event ID: 64017
    Windows File Protection file analysis completed successfully.

    Even if sfc/scannow find something to do, you will know about it, because it is not connected.

    That's why use sfc/scannow still more of a waste of time.

  • Impossible to know when the delivery will take place is ridiculous!

    I need to ask for a day off from work, which is obviously not something that I can do from one day to another, but always of a large company like Dell uses a service delivery that fails to inform them of the date of delivery with more than a day in advance.

    I have an ETA for June 1, but after having waited 2 days to get a response to my email to customer service at this subject, they tell me it is all they know and that there is no certainty to the question of whether the order will be delivered the same day or a few days later.

    The customer service are to give a service, is not to read the status of the order. I'm smart enough to do it myself. I'm going to put a complaint to a consumer association because it is ridiculous that after spending thousands of pounds in an Alienware, the company totally fails to provide information on where is their product. All I know is that he gave some ease of manufacturer in China a week ago. Since then, who knows where is my value object.

    I call the customer service and I get the automated response can I check the status to Dell.co.uk. What a great phone the customer service...

    It would be good to know when the devil comes to my delivery that will turn out to pass with total certainty, so that I can ask for a day off and be home to do. And it would be even better if a company like Dell has used a correct delivery service and not the cheapest.

  • If I have iTunes game my music will take even up to 10 GB of my iCloud space?

    If I subscribe to Match iTunes my music will take still a part of my iCloud save the "cloud"? Music and photos do not count when iCloud is out, but after that work is suddenly wasn't. So now I have 20 GB backup and its almost full. I wish I had iTunes game, but it wouldn't make much sense if he did not save me some space on my iCloud drive! I don't have even a third of my music imported in my iTunes library or on my iPhone, because I have no room for it. I have a very large library. If I get the iTunes game I would have access to all my music, or at least most, but if it is still used my iCloud backup space then it would be foolish to pay for iTunes game, then have to pay more for even more storage on the cloud! I hope this feeling!

    The music is not part of your back upward.

    If you do not use iTunes game it will not use your iCloud storage space either.

  • . What I have to buy windows 95/98 or y at - it a newer version which will still play older games?

    Original title:

    Windows 95/98

    Hello

    I currently have an Apple. There are a few games, I used to play (i.e. Rollercoaster Tycoon) which are mainly Windows 95/98.

    I have considered buying a less expensive to play PC. What I have to buy windows 95/98 or y at - it a newer version which will still play older games?

    I read a blog that says Windows 8 would not work with most, but perhaps Windows 7. I tried many different ways to play games on the Apple and in some cases, I can play them, but it will eventually stopped my computer during registration or something of that kind.

    Any suggestions? Of course, a suggestion at low cost is nice instead of buying a new computer.

    Good luck finding a windows 95 or 98.

    You'll have to do some research on Google or in the game forums to see what o/s these games could work. But I wouldn't count on much of this old games.

  • Older games causes rundll32.exe to open and 100% CPU usage

    Gameux.dll, Rundll32.exe, the CPU usage and no internet! : D what a pleasure!

    From some (mostly older) games rundll32.exe causes opening with Gameux.dll and is 100% of the CPU usage. I know that it's because she's trying to connect to internet, I did not. What is my alternative to make my games work again! I want to delete game explore all together, but Microsoft didn't really care to add such an option. If I can't find out tomorrow night, I'm going to start in a 2nd OS and delete the dll, and if Win7 stops working, I will be switching back to Windows XP.

    All the solutions!

    I thought it was a pretty well known problem that the Games Explorer does not work in offline mode? He opened Rundll32.exe to run Gameux.dll and idling with 100% use of a nucleus. I think that this problem has been around since the beginning of Windows Vista (or at least since the dawn of Windows 7, not tried this problem under vista).

    WHAT, for anyone reading this in the future (Google or otherwise), I found a Solution. (Not a pretty, I take no responsibility, but it worked twice for me).

    I went into the registry (Regedit.exe)
    CTRL + F (find)
    Looking for the GameUX,
    and whenever she finds one, I deleted it. excluding results within areas such as "{xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx}", no need to remove those. but all other entries GameUX, including directories (not sure of the term suitable for registry entries)

    Anyway, long story short, I fixed it by removing each entry in registry GameUX that I could find. all games work now, even offline! : D

  • Problems with older games on Windows 7

    I have an older game that was made for 95/98, and it worked on my xp computer still. But it doesn't work on my computer 7. I've installed several times, even tried the program in the programs of control panel controls made for earlier versions of windows, but it does not work with either. It displays this error message indicating Incorrect path in an INI file. Do you have any suggestions for me? This disc is also in good condition. I don't see why it shouldn't work.

    Win 95/98 games is getting a little old for Win7. If you are using 32 bit Win7 your chances are better with 64abit, but if there is no miracle on fan sites then you will probably need BOX BACK.

    I can contribute to install in one location other than the default - Program Files (x 86).
    You can create a new folder in C:\ and make a sub folder for games in that,
