Zoo Tycoon will not play on Windows 7

Hello

I read a lot of the help topics for this problem here and I absolutely tried everything. Basically, I have Zoo Tycoon 2 Zookeeper Collection, I have Windows 7 64 bit and the game installs fine, I press play and it puts the base color system and then nothing happens, it appears in the process in the Task Manager, but not in Applications. I checked and has increased the maximum memory change, own started, I tried to change all compatibility modes, I tried update that whatever it is updated, uninstalled then reinstalled. The drive works fine, my cousin tried on his cell phone (she still Vista however) and it worked perfectly.
The game won't let me a patch, it says that the game is not installed. I have uninstalled and retried and it comes up with the same error message.  Also the game installation does not create a shortcut on the desktop.
Is there anything else I can try or should I give up with the game? :(

If this - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/Search.aspx?l=en-us&type=Software&s=Zoo%20Tycoon%202%20Zookeeper%20Collection&os=64-bit is your game according to the W7 MS Compatibility Center looks like it should run.

Are there any error messages given when it isn't?

Are familiar you with the event log, if so, which shows no error reported when you try to run the game?

Your PC video and sound card drivers are up to date?

EDIT you saw this post, I just found this:

DEP - and exclude the .exe file that starts the game (ZT. Is EXE?)

  • Why my video preview will not play on Windows Movie Maker?

    I worked on a video in Windows Movie Maker, and now it will not play my preview of the video.

    More than likely one or more of your source files are not
    fully compatible with Movie Maker or the project is too
    large and/or complex for your system resources.

    Several formats are apparently compatible with
    Movie Maker, but the most reliable choices are:

    Photos - bmp
    Video - wmv or dv - avi
    Audio - wav, wma, wmv

    It may be interesting to try to create a small project
    and see if Movie Maker exhibits the same behavior.

    Sometimes, it can help if you are going to... Tools / Options /.
    Compatibility tab and disable all filters / OK.

    Have you tried the publication (save) project in the
    . WMV format movie to a folder on your hard drive?

  • DRM will not play on Windows Media Player

    For years, I've been downloading audiobooks (WMA) of Overdrive and listen to them on my computer.  The DRM has never been a problem.  Suddenly he is now.  Whenever I try to play a protected file, I get the "Windows Media Player has encountered a problem when reading this file."

    I scanned this forum and others.  I carefully and repeatedly followed the instructions given here.  I used ResetDRM (once again, repeatedly).  And the result is always the same.  I can play video files, mp3s and wma files not protected to my heart's content.  No problem.  But DRM won't work.  After that I run ResetDRM, WMP says to update software to play a DRM file.  Let him do it.  And then I get the SAME error.

    I am at a loss.  Can someone help me?  Please?

  • Zoo Tycoon 2 will not install with Windows 7 x 64

    Recently, I switched from XP to Windows 7 Ultimate x 64. When I went to reinstall Zoo Tycoon 2 and all the expansions and discovered that only the base game and endangered species will even install. Even the add-on downloadable Addax and the update does not work.

    I keep getting 'LOC_WRONGUSER' or 'LOC_ZT2NOTINSTALLED '.

    I am logged on as administrator (my account is also the only one on the pc). I have a solution sought for hours, but can't find fixes for the memory problem. I don't have the memory problem, the basic game and endangered species play a lot. Does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone know how I can get to the African adventures, Marine Mania and extinct to install animals? I think it's pretty sad that a game Microsoft has problems with a Microsoft OS lol.

    Hello

    As I mentioned in my previous answer, some versions of Zoo Tycoon is not compatible with Windows 7. You can get the best solution from support of Zoo Tycoon. I suggest you try to contact support.

  • Why the clip will not play in the window of the observer?

    Hello world. It's me again. So, I just started working on a project, and the clip will not play in the window of the observer. In the timeline panel, I see that there are images to play, but the Viewer is black when I try to play. I have temporary can solve it by leaving FCPX and opening it again, but after a few minutes, the display window stops again, and it's a pain to have to do every time so I can watch a few minutes of film. Just so you guys know, do it mode multi-cam, incase that has an effect on it. Thank you very much!

    You have the options of display Angles show the value? You are in the editor of the Angle or the project timeline?
