• Windows 7 compatibility with the old game

  I used the resolution of compatibility issues in Control Panel to install my old pc game (cake mania 2) it installs and the game plays fine until I have shut down the game and try to reopen it. The convenience store said detected incompatible application.

  the programmer of the game say they're working on an upgrade to it. but do not know when it will be available.

  What don't get me, is why he runs very well the first time. I can even uninstall. reinstall it with the convenience store and my saved game is still there, and the game works perfectly until I got close.

  I am confused? Any ideas?

  Hi empony,

  When you are working on your computer and install a new program, the installation suddenly fails. Now, you're left with a partly installed program. You try to install the program again, but you're unsuccessful. Or, maybe you have problems trying to remove an old program because the installation files are damaged.

  Download and install the Windows Cleanup utility to uninstall the game completely from the computer, and then start with a new facility.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/290301

  Once done with the uninstallation, you can install the game in Compatibility Mode and check if it works very well.

  Access the link below to install the game in Compatibility Mode.

  Also, make sure that you temporarily disable any Antivirus software on the computer.

  Make sure that you enable the security software after the attempt.

• compatibility with older games

  Currently under XP but think moving to Windows 7, but LIKE my games "MYST" (Riven, etc.).  These games can run on Windows 7?

  Hi fuguestate

  To verify the compatibility of hardware or software with Windows 7 Windows Compatibility Center is the best place. Link: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/default.aspx

   

  If the program is not compatible, then you try to install and run the game in compatibility mode. Steps to follow:

  i. right click on the program

  II. click on properties

  III. click on the Compatibility tab

  IV. Select run this program in compatibility mode and select windows vista

  Link for reference below: make sure to run older programs in this version of Windows: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows

• Windows 7 compatibility with Pocket tanks game

  I can't play Pocket tanks Deluxe on Windows 7. Jumped to the top and freeze loading screen. When I maximize and minimize the game, the game menu showed and freeze. I can't do anything on this subject. I need help.

  Windows 7 compatibility is not in question, it would be the compatibility of the tanks of the pocket with all operating system you are running who would be involved.  :-)

• Remove the compatibility with older Versions of Adobe Acrobat

  I'm trying to scan hundreds of documents as PDF files using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5.5. I'm on Mac, the latest version of El Capitan and find that Preview 8.1, the PDF Viewer integrated for OS X, has difficulties to open a portion of my scanned documents. Interestingly, the only ones who have color in them. Black and white analysis open very well. I think it's an Apple problem, and not what I'm here for.

  Anyway, I went back to PDF it wasn't opening and Acrobat to remove compatibility with earlier versions of Acrobat. I kept compatibility with "Acrobat 4.0 and later versions. After that the file opened without problem in the preview. I noticed that the quality of the new PDF degraded slightly when I removed the compatibility. I guess that's because Acrobat must perform a new rendering of the PDF file.

  Is there a way I can create a PDF file to a JPEG file that is only compatible with versions 4.0 and later? I rather do pretty early in my workflow, and then go back and remove the compatibility and degrade image quality.

  Thank you!

  Hi Link648099,

  First thing, Acrobat 9 is not compatible with Mac El Capitan.

  The PDF created in Acrobat 9 shouldn't be compatible with version 4, please check the levers of the compatibility of the https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/understanding-pdf-compatibility-levels PDF

• With the help of Windows 7 Ultimate with traditional programs Chinese

  Currently I am on Windows Pro 2000 traditional Chinese version (Taiwan) that I bought and brought back to the States with me. With programs more and more does not support this version of Windows, I'm looking to upgrade my OS. My problem is not so much to be able to read and write Chinese characters, I know I can (I have a LT with Vista Home Prem, who can do the same), but rather whether or not I can install my Chinese traditional programs on this computer and run. On my laptop, Vista will not work their due to the fact all the menus on the toolbar or place dialog boxes are able to output Chinese characters. Under Windows 7 Ultimate will solve this problem or should I wait and get a copy of Windows 7 in traditional Chinese (localized version)? Writing Chinese on my laptop with Vista is terrible compared to the use of the localized version of the traditional Chinese. Thanks for your comments.

  Check this link, could put some light on the question:

• Windows 8 compatibility with Vostro 420 BIOS v1.3.0

  Vostro 420
  Windows 7 64-Bi
  BIOS 1.3.0 (last update, version 2010)

  Hello:

  The Vostro 420 yourself running Windows 8 when it comes out next month?

  And the Vostro 420 DEP support bios? (I read Windows 8 needs a bios with the support of the DEP)

  Thank you

  Hello

  The Vostro 420 has not been tested by Dell with Windows 8. However if you use Windows 7 on your system it will avoid any compatibility issues.
  You can also check if hardware DEP is available on your system by performing the following steps.

  How to verify that hardware DEP is working in Windows:

  1. Click Start, click run, type cmd in the Open box, and then click OK.
  2. At the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:
     WMIC OS Get DataExecutionPrevention_Available
  3. If the output is "TRUE," hardware DEP is available.

  After the official launch of Windows 8, pilots cannot be available on the Dell support site. However, you can always check the site of the manufacturer for the appropriate drivers. You can also consult the following link for more information on the upgrade of Windows 8. http://Dell.to/SyrDsU

• Compatibility with older versions of workstation

  can I open in the latest version of workstation the vmx file in the directory of the virtual machines of an older version of workstation for example version 9

  who is first uninstalled?

  With a more recent VMware Workstation, you can open virtual machines created on old VMware Workstation without problem, but you will not be able to open a virtual machine created on a newer VMware Workstation in an old VMware Workstation if you have created the virtual machine using a new version of virtual hardware that is not compatible with the old VMware Worksation.

• Nexus 1000v VSM compatibility with older versions of VEM?

  Hello everyone.

  I would like to upgrade our Nexus 1000v VSM 4.2 (1) SV1 (5.1) to 4.2 (1) SV2(2.1a) because we are heading of ESXi 5.0 update 3 to 5.5 ESXi in the near future. I was not able to find a list of compatibility for the new version when it comes to versions VEM, I was wondering if the new VSM supports older versions VEM, we are running, so I must not be upgraded all at once. I know that it supports two versions of our ESXi.

  Best regards

  Pete

  You found documentation, transfer of the station from 1.5 to latest code is supported in a VSM perspective.  Which is not documented is the small one on the MEC.  In general, the VSM is backward compatible with the old VEM (to a degree, the degree of which is not published).  Although it is not documented (AFAIK), verbal comprehension is that MEC can be a version or two behind, but you should try to minimize the time that you run in this configuration.

  If you plan to run mixed versions VEM when getting your upgraded hosts (totally fine that's how I do mine), it is better to move to this enhanced version of VEM as you upgrade the hypervisor.  Since you go ESXi 5.0 5.5, you create an ISO that contains the Cisco VIBs, your favorite driver async (if any), and the image of ESXi 5.5 all grouped together so the upgrade for a given host is all of a sudden.  You probably already have this cold technique, but the links generated by the Cisco tool below will show you how to proceed.  It also gives some URLS handy to share with each person performing functions on this upgrade.  Here is the link:

  Nexus 1000V and ESX upgrade utility

  PS - the new thing takes clones your VSMs offline.  Even if they are fairly easy to recover, having a real pure clone will save some sauce secret that otherwise you may lose in a failure scenario.  Just turn off a VSM, then right click and clone.  Turn on again this MSM and failover pair HA, then take to the bottom of it and get a clone of it.  So as a security measure, this upgrade, get your clones currently out of the current 1.5 VSMs, then some time after your upgrade some clones offline, saved from the new version.

• Windows 10 compatibility with applications developed in LabView

  We have deployed several applications developed in LabView that are running OK under Win7 and Win8.x.

  Are there problems of known incompatibility with 10 Windows and applications created with "LV2012 SP1 that read data from cards NiDaq". We should warn our clients to not upgrade their operating system or should we ask them to install a specific version of the runtime OR or NiDaq libraries?

  Best,

  Well the development and EXE run the same runtime for code execution, and the same things like DAQmx drivers.  If you upgrade to Windows 10, and something goofy happens to the TCP stack, you call up NOR help, but they say the solution is to pass some version of LabVIEW is supported in Windows 10.  The probability of this happening is slim, but more strange things happened.

• VI backwards compatibility with older engines of execution

  Currently, I have developed a VI in Labview 8.6.1.  I also created an exe file to make it so that I can run on a different computer.  However, the other computer has an older version of the Run-Time engine installed, and so my program cannot be run on this computer without upgrading the runtime of 8.6.1.  But... this computer also has some programs that run on this version of the runtime.  I have two options here, but I do not know the effects or how to do it.

  (1) install a newer version of the runtime engine (8.6.1) - this will break the current functionality of the programs already on it?

  (2) is it possible to have my VI run on earlier versions of the Runtime Engine?  If so, how do I?

  Thank you.

  As dennis said simply install the new runtime. We have machines that have 5 versions of the engine runtime on them and we have not encountered any problem.

• CH376A: Windows 10 compatibility with HP Deskjet 3050 J610a

  I'm booked for the update of Windows 10 for my laptop the 29th of this month and want to know if my all in one printer will work with this update or how to get the HP fix or update and my printer cannot work with Windows 10. My laptop is a Compaq Presario CQ60 and is running Windows 7-32 bit. I need to know if there won't be an upgrade for my printer before too long if possible if I cancel the booking of Windows 10 before the 28th or it automatically updates my system for Windows 10 29.

  As soon as the final version of Windows 10 is released, see the HP web site for updated drivers.

• Windows 7 compatibility with an old photo aio 922 printer printer

  Hey, just bought a new laptop with windows 7 installed and I have problems with the use of my old Dell photo AIO printer 922. I did a little research into it without success I might add. Dell support service is practically nonexistent. Anway, I think I need to install a driver for my old printer compatible with the new windows operating system.

  I went to the Dell Web support and found that the only drivers they have on this printer are Windows Vista and XP.

  In short, I would like to know if Dell will be unploading a new driver that will make this printer compatible with Windows 7, or if there is already a driver for windows 7 or if Dell will publish a new driver for windows 7.

  If this is not the case, my options will be dark, and I'll be forced to buy a new printer.

  Look forward to hearing back someone who has any suggestions.

  Phil

  Hey Rick,.

  Bravo for this buddy.

  I followed the instructions you have suggested and found that they worked at a T.

  But just a note to someone who has a similar problem in the future. After you download the driver from Dell, you will need the disk that you used to install the printer in the first place. Also, I found that it was better to download the 64-bit of Windows Vista installation.

  I don't know if my comments will be of no help to people with a similar problem.

  Once again, thank you Rick for advice.

• Windows 7 compatibility with the Epson R280 driver

  When I connect my USB Eposn R280 Printer to my Win 7, 64-bit machine it does not correctly recognize and will not install the correct driver.

  When I manually select the printer driver or download it manually from Epson, it will not load and run properly.  I get a message indicating that there is an error in loading the driver.  He alos gives the possibility for a driver Epson ESC/P Standard 2.  This one, it will download successfully.

  Someone familiar with why it will allow this driver must be installed, but not the specific product driver?

  Where did you got the drivers?

  Have you tried this site - http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?oid=89901&prodoid=63069504&infoType=Downloads&platform=Windows

  Get the driver 64-bit if you have a 64 bit OS

  Have you tried to log on as an administrator to install it, or are you a right click on the setup/install file and "run as Administrator"? Try to log on as an administrator if you don't have it already.

  If this isn't the case, please post back.
