Vista Games work on Windows 7?
I have a lot of games and most of them are for XP and Vista. These games work on Windows 7?
Most of the games work in Windows 7 (they make for me in any case), you also comptibility mode if they do not work exactly right. I saw a few posts about games that don't work, but they were for the most part, OLD games, or video driver problems.

On Windows 7 Satellite L300 Vista drivers works
I'm guessing that the answer is 'yes', but all the Vista drivers work on Windows 7 (clean install) - for example I speak for the silent acoustic version 2.02.01 & 2.02.03 for Satelitte L300?
Not all do the job, but most of them ;)
I worked m not a L300 owner but tried to install some other Vista on Windows 7 and not all drivers
But I guess you will have to test it yourself. -
The minute of Silence - will not work on Windows 7 in compatibility mode
I just installed The Moment of Silence after not getting round to install in on my old XP laptop. It will run, citing that it needs to be played on a version from a version of Windows up to XP - compatibility does not work.
I searched other forums that suggest that it is a problem with starforce drivers, but they do not appear to be installed on my computer.
Is it possible to get this game to work on Windows 7 or should I give up?
Hello
Thanks for the reply.
As you mentioned, you have Windows 7 Home Premium installed, the suggestion to install Windows XP mode won't help.
However, you can contact the game manufacturer and check if they released the updates for the game work on Windows 7.Hope the helps of information.

Games will not work on windows 7... It was the biggest reason outside the Office that I bought the new computer... now my games does not work...
These are your options to get a game like work on Windows 7.
If the program is not compatible, then you try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.
Use the following steps:
(1) right click on the program
2) click Properties
3) click on the Compatibility tab
(4) select run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows Vista or other operating system, the program has been run successfully.Check out the link here: make sure to run older programs in this version of Windows
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-WindowsIf you are running Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate version, install Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP mode (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/default.aspx) and run your software in Windows XP.
If you run Windows 7 Home Premium, you cannot run Windows XP mode, but you can try VirtualBox (www.virtualbox.org) or VMware Player (www.vmware.com), or any other 3rd party software virtualization and install a separate copy of Windows XP (family or professional edition) for this purpose. You can find the virtualization software free that will run on Windows 7 Home Premium.
