Windows 7 not loading Vivilisation 2 (32 / 64 bit error - see the software manufacturer)

Hello

Help, please. My favorite - game Civ 2 does not load on my computer laptop windows 7. It worked fine on XP. The game is pretty old, but it will not yet be installed on my PC. All operating requirements exceed this quite old game, but a 32 / 64 error message appears when you try to run the installation.

I tried to change the mode of compatibility, but in vain!

Thank you

Simon

Hi Simon Help,.

According to the Center for civilization 2 compatibility is not compatible with Windows 7 64-bit and 32-bit: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/Search.aspx?type=Software&s=civilization%202&os=32-bit

Uninstall the program and reinstall in compatibility mode. During the installation, the program in compatibility mode make sure you install drivers 64-bit if your 64-bit operating system or install the 32-bit drivers if your operating system is 32-bit, because 32 bits can not work well for 64-bit device.

  • Windows does not load on a Satellite A350 with 500 GB Seagate external HARD drive

    There is a problem with this laptop, A350-043 running Vista Edition Windows Home Premium 64 bit, part number: PSAL6C - 04S 015

    In other words: when it is connected to a 9NK2AL-510 SEAGATE 500 GB SATA DRIVE EXTERNAL USB (s/n: 5QG1YH1E) Windows will not load, it will up to and gel just before the green movement of the bar. If the USB cable is released and handed over in a second, Windows continues to load normally and all is well.

    Otherwise, the operating system will have up to 15 minutes to load. Looking in the BIOS features, there is no option to boot from USB available, so it can not be disabled. I have updated the BIOS of Toshiba to the latest version without any change in this issue.

    I tested and confirmed that the problem persists no matter what USB port is used.
    The external drive is fully functional, and there is no error or problems with it loading Windows. I reported this problem to Seagate so that Toshiba in the hope that a solution can be offered on this, but has not heard back on anything either yet.

    Do you mean that the laptop needs 15 minutes to load the Windows operating system, even if the external HARD disk is not connected?
    It sounds weird, and I doubt that this can be related to any software problem

    First of all, you should check the boot order in the BIOS the USB should be set at the last or last position.
    Second, you should check if the same problem persists even after a fresh install of the OS in some cases, that the start-up procedure could be affected due to the process software and installed background.

    But if the new installation of the operating system is not enough and if the issue persists then I guess a hardware problem (motherboard?) could be the reason for that and, therefore, a technician of the laptop must be contacted!

    That s in my opinion

  • Satellite A215 S6816 won't mode BIOS and Windows does not load

    Hello

    I'm helping a friend to determine what the problem could be on his laptop satellite A215 - S6816 Windows does not load on start up and it says "press F2 for Setup, press F12 for the boot device selection menu" but niether one of these options works no matter what I do.

    I tried them on start up but nothing happens. It will be not just to enter mode BIOS or the menu. It will say please wait or entering the menue, but yet again, nothing happens.
    What else can I try to enter the menu, either to get the system to get windows to load? This could be a motherboard problem? Hard drive problem?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    If you are unable to access the BIOS, or to load the Windows operating system, and then a serious hardware problem is present.
    Eventually he s a motherboard related question that means it could be a faulty motherboard or just a small part of the motherboard as a ROM chip for example.
    I doubt this can be fixed without help the ASP.

    There is thus only one real solution. go to ASP. Guys must verify the simple parts to determine what part is affected.

    Good luck

  • How to restore factory settings when Windows does not load?

    I'm recovering from the laptop (Dell Inspiron N5010) friend who has been infected with a malware ransom (ICE Cyber Crime Center Backdoor.Win32.ZAccess.erds). I used the Kapersky rescue disc to remove the virus from the ransom but now Windows will not load and I suspect that the MBR has been affected.  At startup, the Dell logo appears and the window loading appears briefly, but then you have the 'blue screen of death' flashes and the cycle repeats.   The bsod error is:

    A PROBLEM HAS BEEN DETECTED AND WINDOWS HAS BEEN SHUT DOWN TO AVOID DAMAGE

    ON YOUR COMPUTER

    IF THIS THE FIRST TIME YOU ' VE SEEN THIS STOP ERROR SCREE.

    RESTART YOUR COMPUTER. IF THIS SCREEN APPEARS AGAIN, FOLLOW

    THE FOLLOWING STEPS:

    CHECK FOR VIRUSES ON YOUR COMPUTER. REMOVE ANY NEWLY INSTALLED

    HARD DRIVES OR HARD DRIVE CONTROLLERS. CHECK THE HARD DRIVE

    TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS CORRECTLY CONFIGURED AND COMPLETED.

    RUN CHKDISK /F TO CHECK FOR HARD DRIVE CORRUPTION, AND THEN RESTART YOUR COMPUTER.

    TECHNICAL INFORMATION

    STOP: 0X0000007B (0XF78D2524, 0XC0000034, 0X00000000, 0X00000000)

    The F2 and F12 keys work, but the F8 key will not open the "Advanced Boot Options", so I can't to the "Restore Dell DataSafe and emergency Backup" or any other advanced option.  System Restore will not work either.

    I ran chkdsk and sfc hard disk (via the Kapersky Rescue disk) and neither solved the problem.  Then I copied its data on the hard drive.

    I would like to restore the laptop to factory settings (assuming that it would be better to reinstall Windows because the drivers Dell would be included already?).   There is a folder on the hard disk called "emergency" and contains a Backup*.exe file and several Backup*.dsb files.

    Is given this scenario, possible to restore to factory settings?  Or am I forced to reinstall Windows from scratch?

    What version of Windows?

    7b error message indicates the operation SATA (SATA Mode) setting got changed in the BIOS Setup or possibly the hard drive may be roasted.

    Restart, and then press F2 before Windows starts to load to open the BIOS Setup. Look for the option SATA or SATA Mode operation (models name it differently).  I don't see the BIOS screen options in the online manual, but the options for this parameter can be: RAID, AHCI or RAID Autodetect / ATA. Post back and we say exactly what options are available and how she got now.

    If you are in the BIOS Setup, also find the Boot Sequence option and make sure that the internal hard drive is ranked first on the list. If it is not first, move it to all first, save the changes and exit the installation program. See if it boots now.

    If you reinstall Windows by using a Windows Dell reinstall drive, you should not ask for the product key. It should install automatically by itself. HOWEVER, you will need to have the product keys for all the other apps that you want on this system, for example Microsoft Office, so make sure that you have the product keys and the floppies to install before you clean the hard drive.

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community

    I understand that you are facing the problem with win 10 in SafeMode as normal mode

    Please answer these questions to better understand the issue and help you:

    1. You have the disc of windows 7 installation?

    I want to suggest everything first, disconnect any external devices (Cd/DVD, USB key, webcam, memory card reader, etc.), except the mouse and keyboard and try to start.

    Now press Ctrl + Shift + ESC key combination to check if the Task Manager opens.

    If you have the Windows 7 installation disc, try to run the Startup Repair tool once more with the disc.

    If this does not help, get in safe mode with command prompt and use startup recovery tool to repair windows startup problems

  • Message says: "Windows could not load correctly" then he got the error: "0xa0000001.

    So I recently got these computer errors on my laptop. The pixels on the screen start to panic and it still restarts my computer.

    The first time, he started was when I was playing a game called League of Legends and it worked perfectly fine on my laptop, and he had always run around 70 fps. I played this game for a long time. Then, in the middle of an online game the screen flipped out and restarted my PC! He sent me a message saying: "your PC has encountered a problem :(. "

    After it restarts my laptop and then after restarting the pixels on the screen start to panic again and it restarted. After that restart again once he sent me a message saying he will "fix the problem on my PC. I clicked on 'Repair' and then it restarted again. After the restart he freaked out again and then it restarted and it gave me a message saying "your PC will convert at an early stage when it doesn't have this problem. This can remove files that have been installed recently. So, I allowed it do and after 3 hours of waiting he brought me to an earlier stage if my laptop was not the problem. He only come back in a few hours. Then the next day, I decided to try again in League of Legends, it was working fine and it launched the game. I was running on my normal fps then he started trolling and it fell to 12 frames per second and the screen flipped out again and then my computer restarted. Once restarted, it it worked fine after 5 minutes it restarted again, and then he gave me a message saying: "Windows could not load correctly" then he said I got the error: "0xa0000001. I turned on my PC and my screen has panic when he started, and then it restarted again give the same message and tell you have the error: 'DRIVER_OVERRAN_STACK_BUFFER '. It came on again and it was worse still panic then it restarted and it gave me the same message saying that you have the error: "BAD_POOL_HEADER". It restarts and several times with lit the screen always freak out so I decided to just remove the plug and ask for help. I went on the computer of my brother and sought a solution for these errors. Turns out Im not the only one to these errors. They say that '0xa0000001' error is caused primarily by an AMD graphics card and my graphics card is an AMD graphics card. The solution for this error is to uninstall the graphics card and reinstall it directly from the manufacturer's website. I could have made this solution and corrected my graphics card, but there is a problem. Whenever I turn on my laptop the pixels panic and sometimes the screen turns black and then it restarts. I can't access anything whatsoever, and he keeps just restarting. Please help me and tell me how to fix my phone :( I really need a solution to this problem.

    Please answer quickly :(

    Thank you

    There is an old saying that if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

    It works again.

    Read this information

    You need to get the Driver of your laptop computer software or a hardware manufacturer, not through Windows Update (with the exception of Microsoft put updated material), as Microsoft normally does nor those have the most recent drivers available as Microsoft leverages the hardware manufacturer 3rd party to provide them.

    Go to the website for your laptop or manufacturing equipment > Driver and Software Support Section > search your laptop or material style number > then your operating system > locate the correct drivers > download and install.

    ______________________________________________________

    But this is no guarantee that this won't happen again.

    Also, it would be that the game hardware requirements are higher than supports the hardware in your laptop.

    It could also be due to lack of graphic material.

    All you can do is search for the latest drivers and play games that require only a material that has your Lapyop.

    See you soon.
