• Is there a compatibility mode for existing Windows programs running on Windows RT?

  Is there a compatibility mode to run my existing on RT windows programs

  There are two variants:

  Windows 8 - this runs on processors traditional x 86 - x 64 for Intel and AMD, and the same apps that runs on Windows 7, Vista, and Windows XP.

  Windows RT - built on the same basis as Windows 8, it works on a different processor called ARM and not running programs in Windows 7, Vista, or Windows XP. Also, comes with Microsoft Office 2013 while Windows 8 does not work. It only comes on the new devices, in contrast to Windows 8 you can buy a license for an existing computer.

  A possible work around, you can connect to your remote programs on a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows 8:

• Try to do an old program running on Windows 7 "error (FMOD).

  I am trying to install a program that was designed for Windows XP on my PC which is running Windows 7

  The program is called DrumTrack, if it's important.

  After I install and try to run it I get an error like this:

  "Error (FMOD)."

  I go to the built-in support to make the program work with Windows7, but it doesn't fix it.

• How can I do a program run at windows startup

  Hello

  I'm not asking the msconfig Startup tab option, but asking to run a home program to load at startup of Windows XP instead of its default Shell Explorer.exe.

  (This registry key is placed in the variable Shell REG_SZ to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell)

  It should be like Bank ATMs (ATM) application. XP must load our home program when it starts and end user should not see the Windows desktop and directly see and interact with our program.

  Thank you.

  You have a shortcut on the desktop to open it now? Drag the shortcut to the Start button, then all programs and drop it in the startup folder.

• I can't Halo 2 for Windows Vista to run on Windows 7__

  I installed Halo 2 on my Windows 7 64-bit computer.  When I try to run it, I get this error message:

  "LIVE Gaming on Windows initialization failure. Maybe it's because an another LIVE Gaming on Windows application (for example the dedicated server Halo 2) is running on the same computer.  Otherwise reinstall the game may fix this problem. »

  I've uninstalled and reinstalled the game, but got the same message.  I am then went on the LIVE Gaming on Windows, downloaded the software and connected to it, then tried to run the game again - same error message.  I went to the support site for Microsoft Halo 2 and downloaded the last updated and tried to run the game - same error message.

  I don't want to play this game as a multiplayer online, I just want to play the campaign solo mode.

  I have installed and played several other games on this computer, since I upgraded to Windows 7, including Halo Combat Evolved.  How can I run Halo 2?

  Update did not work for me, but my husband found this solution:
  http://forums.haloonwindowsvista.com/forums/thread/7677.aspx

  GER bear:

  The only way I found to play the game after installation of Windows 7 was to disconnect the internet cable before you choose the game to play after game starts to reconnect the cable... weird but it works...

  It worked for me!  I pulled the power cord from the modem before starting the game.  He starts without a problem.  After it starts, I plugged the modem in.  I don't know if the Gaming Live runs from there, but at least I can play in campaign mode (which is what I wanted to do anyway).

• problem when the old program running on windows 7

  Hi I am using windows 7 64 bit.

  At the moment, I really wanted to go back to the era when I still have a kid who play soccer games on computer. at this point, I use windows xp, and it's my favurite game program

  Manager FIFA soccer 96/97

  The 98 World Cup

  FIFA 99

  the 99/00 Championship Manager

  now I am using windows 7 64 bit and meet a lot of problem

  the game works well, because I set the compatibility mode to windows 98.but it is just the text.so in the game of football, his divided to two parts. the first part is text, where we see players, statistics, etc. that work well

  the second is soccer game. I believe that associated with vga and color. and that's the problem. I see so many pixel, playing the football game on these games

  I guess that this is related to my "64 bit version" of windows. because when I was googling somewhere, I see old-fashioned, using 16-bit. This my vga downgrade and cannot display video smoothly.

  What should I do?

  Hello

  Please contact the Microsoft Community.

  I wish that you contact the respective developers of the game or play the game and check if there is a patch available for the same thing.

  We know if you need help.

  Thank you.

• My PC freezes when I'm online or simply running of programs on the window Me

  MY PC freezes when I'm online or simply all programs running on Windows Me. There is no error message or blue screen. The PC just unresponsive, don't move the mouse. I always restart. Any advice on how to solve this problem are welcome. Need help please, I'm frustrated.

  Go to start | Run and type msconfig and disable all startup items.  That should speed things up a lot.  You can re-enable everything you absolutely need to run at startup, but more often it's only very little emission.  Also, go to start | Programs | Accessories | System tools and do a disk cleanup and also to defragment the drive.  Blocking you encounter is likely due to video driver problems and you will not be able to remedy, but these measures should run faster.  If they don't fix it, then try to do a right click on the desktop and go to properties. Settings | Advanced | Troubleshoot and reduce hardware acceleration all the way and see if that stops to lock him up.

  Original title: a program running on windows xp

  It seems that this program was published in 1993 about, so unless the seller, Campbell Services Inc., has released a new version, the answer is probably not.

  He also seems to be a 16-bit program, and as such, it will not work on a 64-bit version of win.

• Age of Empires 3 does not start on a vista machine, get this error "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Age of Empires III\d3dx9_25.dll is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error."

  I'm trying to play age of Empires 3 on my computer running windows vista Home premium and the program does not start. I get the error message: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Age of Empires III\d3dx9_25.dll is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error." I tried many suggestions from Microsoft (resettlement program, reinstall in safe mode, update & reinstall the drivers for my video card, the compatibility issues with vista, updating and reinstalling directx 9.0 c, install vista service packs 1 & 2) but nothing has worked so far. I was able to play the game on the same computer with windows xp installed (it's a different hard drive that is not in the computer, and everything is the same) and it worked fine. My computer is old enough, but like I said the game worked before installing vista. ASUS A7N8x deluxe, AMD Athlon xp 3200 +, ATI radeon 9600, 2 GB OCZ ram that all suggestions are welcome. Thank you.

  Hi Raygun55,

  Welcome to Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

  This problem may occur if the Microsoft DirectX file that is mentioned in the error message is damaged or is not copied correctly.

  I suggest that you copy the file manually by following the steps and check if you are able to play the game without any problems:

  Manually copy the file

  To do this on a computer that is running Windows Vista, follow these steps:

  1 insert the disc 1 CD for one of the following games into the player from the computer:

  o Age of Empires III

  o Fable: The Lost Chapters

  o Zoo Tycoon 2

  o Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends

  2. click on start to reduce this includes this image and then click Documents.

  3. Locate, and then click computer.

  4. search and then click on the CD drive.

  5. Locate and then click the following folder:

  CD player :\ DirectX9

  Note In this folder path, the CD player represents the drive letter of the CD drive.

  6 double-click on Apr2005_d3dx9_25_x86.cab, right click on d3dx9_25.dlland then click copy.

  In Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends, double click Aug2005_d3dx9_27_x64.cab right-click d3dx9_27.dlland then click copy.

  Note Use the Apr2005_d3dx9_25_x64.cab file for the x 64 version of the Windows operating system.

  7. find one or more of the following folders, depending on the games that are installed on the computer:

  By car : \Program Files\Microsoft: Age of Empires III

  By car : \Program Files\Microsoft Games\Fable - The Lost Chapters

  By car : \Program Files\Microsoft Games\Zoo Tycoon 2

  By car : \Program Files\Microsoft Games\Rise of legends

  Note In these folder paths, drive represents the letter of the drive where the game is installed.

  8. right click on the folder of the game which is the part that is installed on the computer, and then click Paste.

  Note If you have installed more than one game on the computer, repeat steps 5 and 6 for the other games.

  You can check the link for more information: error message when you try to start a Microsoft game: "the file d3dx9_XX. DLL was not found": http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910813

  Alternatively, you can try to install the game in XP compatibility mode and check if you are able to play or not.

  Right-click on the game > click Properties > click on the Compatibility tab > select for XP compatibility mode > click OK.

  Let me know if it worked.

  Thank you, and in what concerns:

• Impossible to install an old Hanes program (Tshirt maker) that runs under Windows 95/98 Windows Vista

  I have an old (Tshirt maker) Hanes program that runs under Windows 95/98. My Vista computer will not work the old program. I dug my old laptop that works under Windows 98 and, of course, it took the program, but I can't figure out how to get the logo (that I have saved on a flash drive) to download on your old computer! The logo is saved in Publisher 98 and old computer run Publisher 97. Access to internet on the old computer's dial-up! Any ideas? Thank you!

  OT: Windows 95/98

  Hello

  I suggest you run Hanes (Tshirt maker) program in compatibility mode. Run the program using settings from a previous version of Windows. Try this setting if you know the program is designed for (or worked in) a specific previous version of Windows.
