Windows 8 will not install games, I had running on my XP service pack 3.

Windows 8 on new asus laptop moved games I have running on my Dell XP SP3, I ran the compatibility options, and even if the computer recognizes that iam version try to install it always used to install. the same program can be easily installed on the XP computer I still so there is no apparent problem with the program itself.

I also checked the option to run programs in XP compatibility mode but still no results.

If you are referring to the games that came in previous versions of Windows, these have been removed by Microsoft and are not available period. You can find a lot of free games in the store of Windows 8, or you can download from the internet.  Hope this helps and if you need another post to help and we will be happy to help you.

The above opinion is mine and mine nothing and does not necessarily reflect that of Microsoft, it is

employees, or any other Member of this forum.

  • Office 2007 SP2 on Windows 7 will not install

    Recently upgraded from Vista to Windows 7. After that, a lot of problems to do Office 2003 and 2007 to play nice. Finish by uninstalling and reinstalling both. Now, applications seem to be happy, except for Word 2003 AND 2007, eager to relocate whenever they are launched. The biggest problem now is that the Office SP2 will not install. Tried registry cleaning, download .exe standalone and as an administrator and also using the tool PatchRegCleanup - x 86 .exe (which gives me a message "productcode must be determined" and makes me want to go out). Yes, Office 2007 disk is inserted. All other updates installed correctly.  Any help appreciated.

    I am trying to configure a newly purchased office of Acer (Aspire ACX - 603 G-UW31), who has installed Windows 8.1, for my mother who cannot grasp the steep learning curve of Windows 7 to Windows 8.

    I have a licensed copy of Windows 7 x 64 on DVD, and even after the SecureBoot mode off then launch MSC forever and then starting with F12, by selecting the DVD drive as a boot device, Windows will not install correctly.

    The very first steps of the configuration are very well, it is, I'm asking the press actually starts to any key to boot from the DVD, Windows Setup loads some files, but the problem comes when the installation of Windows. I get a STOP error to the ASF with the message "The BIOS in this system is not fully complaint ACPI." There is no BIOS update for this model. That's the traditional way...

    Any ideas?

  • Windows Vista will not install new updates after installing SP2

    Hi, I have a problem with the update of my windows. It started after a fact a factory reset. Here's the history:

    I have a some what old laptop (8 years). It came with a Vista installed with service pack 1 installed at the factory. Over the years, I did a few factory resets (every 2-3 years). I never had problems up to now. What is happening now is that I can not exceed SP2. I tried two different ways, none of them worked. After the reset, I first uninstall a bunch of stupid programs that came with the laptop, and then defragment and then have two ways to proceed. I tried to use windows update, installed more than 100 updates, updates install held until finally I offered service Pack2, installed successfully but then no more updates were offered. Then I tried a different approach - a new reset, uninstall, Defrag, and then downloaded and installed SP2 directly from the Download Center. And again the same thing happens. From the SP2 installation I check updates, download the new update agent and nothing happens after that. He keeps looking for new updates all day (about 50% of the processor by using all the time).

    I read some articles and discussions but could not find anyone with the same problem (most of the users reported some error codes which is something I can't do). I tried the fix tool - it does nothing! Whenever I run it, it is mistakes - sometimes 2, sometimes up to 5. Sometimes, it makes account all fixed, other times that it reports missing or corrupt files do not set. Whatever the results if I restart and when I try to check for updates again it is still the same story.

    Also I tried to install it manually IE9 as soon as SP2 is installed (I understand that this is not supported under SP1) but the installation fails. I expected to be available in updates, but as I don't get updates I tried to install it myself. Not sure if it's related (although I guess it is), but the Defender is not able to verify new definitions either.

    Any suggestions? Maybe the registry is damaged or some of the files using the update agent is are corrupt? There are currently no antivirus program installed that could block whatever it is. I haven't touched Windows Firewall somehow everything must therefore be attributed to the default values.

    You understand is that? I came across exactly the same problem... restoration of an old book to give to a family member, and every time I came to the point of installing SP2 and a more recent windows update agent just after, I couldn't install more updates. It would block 'check updates' forever. Tried twice, same problem. However, I tried some things differently the third time and exceeded the question.

    Let me know if you still need help, and I will respond with what I've done.

  • The 3rd part of a windows update will not install. What can I do?

    Hi there Microsoft overlords. I was wondering if you could help me. I've seen a similar thread on the final update not install it, but I don't know enough about variables in order to know if it is a minor or major problem and how to fix it. Any help woul be appreciated.

    I am running Windows Vista on a Toshiba Sataleite Pro 2010. I ran two FULL virus scans last night, with Avast free protection and another with Windows Essentials I think. Windows has found a number of serious threats that I hit the function apply on. Then I did a scan with Avast.

    Then after I finished the second virus with Avast scan, the laptop began something strange. The screen went black shortly after it (not immediately think"I") and he began to make a safe-mode-esque all programs, including the documents and my downloads of loading. He said it was a bookkit or a rootkit or something similar. I don't quite remember.

    In any case, I leave this list of command of rootkit series go on a little I don't know initially, he said "I want to check all the files of rootkit or bookkit for security", yet once I do not what that.

    I let happen to 7% completed which took between 30 minutes and an hour to reach. I then press ESC to cancel the process which he allowed me to do.

    After that, the pc began to restart dozens of times trying to reinstall a 3rd update of windows (which remains at zero percent).

    If it's any help I had a windows update for last night. I had to have one, but I postponed it for a few hours.

    Also, I think that the laptop can (MAY I'm not sure) ran out of power last night to stop.

    I think I let him run out of power because he was stupid before you stop, even if I can't be sure.

    Thanks for any help, if you need more information do not hesitate to answer.

    p.s. I tried to go to SafeMode to start again, but now it is useful. Safe mode programs load then IMMEDIATELY (until I can get to s a start menu or anything like that), she goes in this cycle to shutdown/reboot/update.

    Thank you. Helllp me :-)

    My apologies. I don't know much on the PC at all and I couldn't remember what I had done or read yesterday evening.

    Fortunately, my laptop is now fixed. I had nothing too precious that I had not already supported so my brother reinstalled windows on it again and it is fine now.

    Thanks for the help. Soon :)

  • Windows 7 will not install the driver for hp deskjet 6540

    I followed all the instructions on the site of HP and windows will not find and install the driver for my HP 6540. How to make Windows do what should or is there a reliable place to download the driver from?

    There is a driver recommended relatively complete for the Deskjet 6540 written by HP and Microsoft via Windows Update.  If the automatic install does not work, perform the following steps: connect the printer by USB.  Click Start, devices and printers, adding a printer, select the appropriate port and when the list of printers, click Windows Update in the lower right part of the dialog box.  It will take a few minutes for the update to complete, once that he choose the Deskjet HP (Hewlett-Packard no) 6500 Series.

    If for some reason you can't use the driver provided through Windows Update, you can download the driver from the Windows Catalog site.  The Windows Catalog site requires the use of Internet Explorer.  For the Dsekjet 6500 Series there are three drivers listed.  11.4 Mo is the x 86 32-bit driver.  11.6 Mb file is x 64 64 bit version.  13.9 MB file is the least common architecture IA64.
