  • Windows Vista compatibility issue and "Neverwinter Nights Diamond Edition"

    Installed the game fine, but when I play the game, it appears a problem of compatibility window telling me to look for solutions on this site. I tried 'right' by clicking on the icon of the game and go to the properties and then the compatibility, but that did not solve my problem. Does anyone know how I can fix it, or is there a download or a patch that I need. Please let me know. Thank you.

    If I'm looking in the right place, I also see a patch 1.68. You may need to install the patch 1.68 before installing the patch 1.69. All you can really do is try and see if it works. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful at this time.

  • The installation of Zoo Tycoon 2 in Windows 7, now I can not install the expansion packs.

    Thanks to the person here who has posted the trick to set virtual memory to 2048, I got edition of Zoo Tycoon 2 guards running. Now that I'm trying to add expansion packs, I get the message that I did not install Zoo Tycoon first, and that I need to install it. What?

    Before using the virtual memory fix, I found here, I tried to run in XP mode, using the also found instructions here. I wonder if this is the reason why I get the error message, and if so, should I uninstall and reinstall without changing the compatibility mode?

    Running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. I solved my problem by uninstalling Zookeeper Collection, replace and reset maximum memory of 2048.

    Once I thought I had installed as an administrator or as the account of my children, I have had no problem by uninstalling Zookeepers Collection and put it back. Install the expansion packs was easy after that.

    I'm going to bookmark the Zoo Tycoon Support site for later use. Thank you.

  • Blue Screen Driver IRQL blue screen of death Windows 7 Ultimate edition and Windows Vista

    original title: BSOD Driver IRQL blue screen of death Windows 7 ultimate and Windows Vista

    I get the BSOD, and they are different every time.

    I had originally Windows Vista on my pc (HP m8300f) and it worked fine for 3 years until last month, I started to have these BSOD.

    So I thought a new clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate would solve the problem. Well, I was very happy to get the new operating system installed, but a few hours later that darn BSOD appeared and im now distraught.

    What is my RAM? My drivers? My hard drives?

    Computer IM but I'm certainly some type of technology. I have basic computer knowledge and that's all.

    You can download minidump files and find the information system here in this zip file http://www.sendspace.com/file/mfx420

    This issue is very very irritating and has ruined a lot of my work.

    Well up to now (18 hours) my computer has not had the BSOD and what I did is that I removed 1 GB of ram for my motherboard. Their were two sticks of 512 MB. I took them both. Now, I have 2 GB of ram running in my system and had not had a BSOD or an error after you have done this.

    What is the problem with my ram? I now have 2 sticks of RAM on my motherboard and both are 1 GB each stick. What is the mix n match that causes a problem all of a sudden? My computer came with this stock of installation. I also noticed the ram I got were the brand Samsung and the other on my motherboard are another brand.

    Well idk I hope it was my problem. We'll see.

  • Problem to create the Internet connection sharing between Windows XP and Windows Vista.

    Original title: Internet connection sharing between Windows XP and Windows Vista.

    Hello

    Recently, I plugged a laptop running Windows XP to a desktop computer running Windows Vista using a standard Ethernet cable with the intention of use sharing of Internet connection. The notebook contains a wireless connection that I've routed to the office via the cable said.  While the initial phase of installation went well (I was too lazy to do it manually, so I just used the Wizard "Set up a home or small business network" Windows XP,) I had to turn off the host computer to install a program. When I tried to set up ICS again, I couldn't connect to the Internet by using ICS. After this failure, I tried to configure the properties of TC/IPv4 (IP, gateway by default, etc.) manually, but I still couldn't run.  I am able to access the shared host PC and client files. It seems to me that some service essential to the proper functioning of the ICS may be disabled in some way, but it's just speculation, as I have no evidence of such a service. Help would be most appreciated.

    Thank you

    FG-man

    I tried this before using a laptop to share internet with my 360.  problem is there was Nat on the router, and it is in contradiction with the ics.

    Anyway long story short I did some research on the Internet and discovered that if you're behind a router ICS will be confllict with her, as ICS also does routing. a much better option is to "bridge the conections ' on the laptop.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/hnw_bridge_install.mspx?mfr=true

    If you go this route, you need to set a static ip address for the office,

    Either that or if you want to continue using ICS put the laptop in the DMZ in the router may help, but it will be less secure.

    Hope that this helped good luck

  • I have win 98se, win xp sp3 and Windows vista 64 bit, I want to share printer files

    I have win 98se, win xp sp3 and Windows vista 64-bit PCs, and I want to share files & printer... printer is connect in xp or 98se, well, what is possible... currently, I've got these between vista and xp, which is available when win 98se involved?

    Two ways are participatory computers in a windows environment, a working group and a _.   You can fill in the blank?

    Virtual private networks have little to do with the domains or working groups.

    I don't think that WIndows 98 can join to a domain.  All versions of WIndows, you mention should be able to participate in a working group, however.

    In my opinion, the best way to share a printer is to use a printer connected to the network

    Windows comes with a cleverly named Windows Firewall Firewall and AVG has its own firewall, I'm pretty sure. If you are fine as is.

  • Windows 7 and Windows Vista

    I'm trying to understand the differences in security of Windows 7 and Windows Vista. I am also generally try to understand how Windows 7 is Vista. If anyone has any information they can give me, I would appreicate it.

    At a deep level, Windows 7 is almost identical to Windows Vista, but with minor tuning and adjustments.  You can see how they are in the version numbers:

    Windows Vista is 6.0 internally

    Windows 7 is 6.1 internally (just a tiny 0.1 updated)

    As an example of the update minor: both use UAC, but Windows 7 student autonomous tasks the most initiated by UI so you don't have to confirm as often.
