• Windows Vista won't allow Windows XP games to install on my computer

  Why can't I install Windows XP Windows Vista Games? These systems are not retro-compatible? Please HELP Thank YOU

  Hello Randy Dickson,

  Another option is to try to install the game incompatibility mode. To achieve this, you can right-click on the Setup file and choose Properties. Click on the Compatibility tab and select Windows XP Service Pack 2 to see if the game will then install with these settings.

  Let us know if this problem is solved by any of the information in this thread.

• Windows 7: games online lag & defective live tv unstable/record live tv playback (due to changes in priorities/Planner win7?)

  Since installing Windows 7 ultimate, I have 2 problems (compared to XP or even Vista):

  (1) online gaming is lag; the other players seem to move like ghosts, somehow jerky and jerky, but my ping is completely normal (low) and fps are good, too.

  (2) direct TV experience is worse now:
  When I watch a dvb - t transmission and switch to another app that I have at the same time (like total Commander, instant messaging, Notepad, etc.) I hear audio clicks and get video abandonment. The same is true when I'm not watching a transmission, but when I save it. The recordings are defective (video and audio dropouts).

  However, existing good records can be read without any problem, even when you switch like crazy between all sorts of substantive programmes and lots of tabs in my web browser. With these good records I get no problem whatsoever (for example: files in windows XP). It is only when I try to record something in Windows 7 that I get these questions.

  I have used many different programs (from dvbviewer for progdvb for dvb dream to Windows Media Center). The problem is always the same.

  This did not happen in XP, however.
  Under XP, I can switch to background programs and switch between tabs in the opera 100 without being any 'clicks' or the number of drop-outs in audio/video on live television.

  The same is true for Vista, although it is slightly worse than with XP.

  In Windows 7, interactive use of programs seems to have a strong (and negative) impact on live TV.

  My system (not aware at all, but otherwise very good work, in XP, Vista, Windows 7 and Linux):

  -Sempron 2600
  -1 GB OF RAM
  -Geforce 3 TI 200:
  I know: not supported by Windows 7, BUT:
  -J' also have an ATI HD4650 here, which IS supported by Windows 7
  and who doesn't IS NOT IMPROVE anything!

  Since my Windows 7 installation is quite recent and not yet activated, I did not install a lot, especially any antivirus that could (maybe) deteriorate the performance of the system.

  Apart from live tv playback/record and games Windows 7 IS (!) quickly on my old system.

  In addition, take into account that the games I'm talking about are OLD, so my geforce3ti200 is quite enough for such an old game, like quake2 or quake1. - And as I said, I also have a HD4650 well supported by the ITA which does NOT improve lag problems in games!

  I tried to disable nagle algorithm (as suggested somewhere), I played with registry settings like 'systemresponsiveness '; I also disabled the multimedia class Scheduler - all these things you will find in these many threads any lag in windows 7!

  Does not really - or only partially:
  Deactivation of the multimedia class scheduler service help (a little) but at the price of having audio problems:
  When switching between the different programs of the audio player (e.g. windows media player or vlc) has now audio dropouts that wouldn't happen when the multimedia class Scheduler service is running.

  Therefore, this solution is not ideal.

  Since I also tried to use wifi instead of ethernet, external sound usb instead of edge, different servers etc, and since there is that interference between the task of switching and stability of live tv, I come to this conclusion:

  This must be a timer problem. Something in the Task Scheduler in windows 7 and/or priority system was changed, when comparing it to XP or Vista.

  I see that there are more settings in the registry, as in:

  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Multimedia\SystemProfile\Tasks\Audio]

  Where it looks like:

  'Planning category '=' Medium '.
  "SFIO"="Normal priority".
  "Background only"="True".
  'Priority' = dword:00000006
  "Rate of clock" = dword:00002710
  'GPU priority' = dword:00000008
  "Affinity" = DWORD: 00000000

  So I'm expecting setting could something in a different way here (?) have a significant impact...

  Last question:
  Considering the number of threads (when searching via google) all delays in windows 7 games, is Microsoft aware of this problem - and Microsoft offer a fix, a hotfix or another type of solution?

  1. open the store and make sure that you are connected with your Store account (press the Windows key + I, then select your account).

  2 on the main screen, right click and select your applications on the top toolbar.

  3 in the drop-down Menus, select applications and the sort by name.

  4 in the results, click each application that you want to reinstall , and then click the icon to install the toolbar at the bottom.

  Note: If you have a very large number of applications to reinstall, select a few at a time to reinstall.
