I just installed a version of windows vista ultimate lite......and i was wodering if there is a way i could get the games that come with vista when you first install it back. They currently aren't installed on the computer.
View 4 RepliesI have installed multiple games on my Vista, like Assassin's Creed, and when I try to play them, the intro plays, and then a message pops up that says that my game has stopped working and Windows is searching for a solution. Then this message pops up, Assasin's Creed Game has stopped working A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is abailable. I have tried restarting the game, reinstalling it, everything I can think of.
View 8 Replies View RelatedHere is the chronology as I remember it... Had new PC with Vista for the first time for a month now...no problems. Installed Hitman game. When I attempted to start game, receieved error that a file was missing. From my memory, it was something like MSVLL771.dll (not accurate, but close). Vista prompted me that it could find the problem and then recommended a download. It was an update in the realm of Framework 1.1- something or other. After downloading and attempted implementation, Vista let me know this program was already on my PC. I did an internet search for the "missing" file and downloaded it specificly and placed in the game's file. The game now ran with no problem.
Yet, at the next boot up of PC it crashed to the "problem" screen. At this point I was able to use safe mode and attempt a recovery by going back to an earlier save point. Did this and reboot. Now PC crashes again and now will not start in any mode (safe, normal, safe with networking, etc) By not start, I mean I get past the prompt asking which mode to start, screen goes blank, no Vista load, just a cursor. The LED light seems to be processing, yet nothing happens from here.I placed Vista disk in to boot from it to Fix and Re-install, but this does not help. After a few steps it goes to a driver selection screen with no drivers available. Lets me browse, but I have no clue where to look for these??
I just installed this game but it stutters heavily and in the main menu i can't see the mouse. It isn't my system I have a AMD HD4850 an E8400 , even FarCry2 works perfectly. Can it be that this game isn't vista x64 proof??

View 4 Replies View Relatedwhile back I had a Windows XP PC but it got dumb and crashed. So I just got my new Tower Which is Windows Vista-x64(Home Premium.) On my old machine I had a game I new and loved called Rayman 2 that isn't compatible to Vista. So my only option was to install it under Microsoft VPC 2007. It did Install but It wouldn't play. Here is the issue: I go To play the game and an error pops up that said I need to install DirectX 6.0 so I did. It didnt matter tho cuz I still had the error. So then I realized the error as telling me to configure the Graphics so It had another error when I Opened The "GXSetup."
Which was this: error1.jpg It Didn't Really matter because it still let me open the exe. But HERE IS WHERE THE REAL PROBLEM STARTED. The program successfully opened! But This is what it contained: MajorError.jpg My only thought was what the f*ck I am going to scream. Because from what it looks like Virtual PC Wasn't Detecting Much or anything at all to do with Graphics (the dropdown arrows contain absolutely nothing).
When I first bought my laptop, which was pre-installed with Vista Home Premium all my UsB ports seemed to be operating at full speed, I could charge and load/unload my iPod as well as utilise my external hard drives at optimum speed. A few re-installations later, i get messages telling me that all my drives aren't USB 2.0 and on top of that, i get messages that my USB devices are malfunctioning!!

View 4 Replies View RelatedWell, I just got 4gb of RAM (4x1gb) from Silicon Assets. Coming from 1gb (512mbx2), which was high density. The new stuff is low latency (4-4-4-12), and low density, and double sided. Well, I installed them in Vista Ultimate x64, and only 2814 show up. I go in the BIOS, and everything shows as 4gb, the PCI-E is limited to 512mb (because thats how much it takes iteself), and everything was set. Well, in CPU-Z it also tells me I have 4gb of RAM. When I used the MEM-TEST LiveCD, it said I had 2815 again, same as Vista. I removed all the RAM and tested them one by one, and all showed up in the Bios correctly. I then put in 3 sticks so they aren't in dual and that only 3gb is there, and the same: 2815 even after scanning and everything. I am completely lost on what to do.......
View 4 Replies View RelatedMy vista keeps locking up after various amounts of time, no matter whether its just idling, or im making the computer work hard. As ive read on other topics, I think its a driver issue, but I just dont know what to do. I will try another fresh vista install tomorrow and get the vista updates quickly to see whether that helps the situation. I have ensured it isnt overheating like it did initially when I bought the system, and it is now a safe and low temperature in a running state. Also, it only detects 3.5Gb of the 4Gb of RAM I have in my system. PC Spec:
Ive re-installed, windows, and it froze after I installed the chipset driver. I contiuned, and found a sound driver wasnt digitally signed. However it still crashes. I have got the latest drivers for it. For it to crash, all i did was open recycle bin, from idle state.
I shouldn't be surprised but here goes....I checked today for SP1 on windows update.. According to my computer no updates available however updates were last installed on 03/13/08 and yet when you look at installed updates it shows a windows defender update installed today. I have been reading several posts on this problem and have noticed that Carey Frisch posted a link to troubleshoot and now here is a problem and that is none of these apply to me... Once again Go figure!! Running Vista Business 32bit here in the good old USA and of course the English versionVista is and has always been updated right on schedule....

View 8 Replies View RelatedWe all use software like steam or xfire where we can keep all our games in one place however I think I may be the odd ball on this one. I love using it. I like the way it gives a vista rating for performance and I like have all my icons nice and big in one place, from spider solitare to crysis, it's all good. Does anyone else use the folder?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI can sucessfully load up the game and all however whenever i try to join a multiplayer game(says "Joining Server... then crashes" or finish loading a single player game(after the textures are loaded or the shaders it just crashes) OR whenever i click audio in settings my game(right after i click audio it just goes boom) just crashes back to desktop with the BF2142.exe error. I've read about many different crashes with other people but this seems different, people have had crashes during map changes, splash screen, and a few secs after joining the server, havent seen anyone with my problem of crashing when i see the "joining server.." box.
I've tried
1)reinstalling/repatching
2)run the exe as admin.
3)disable UAC and reinstall/repatch after restart
Im pretty sure my computer can handle the game, my old one did fine and this one owns it. Im kind of lost, I've tried many things and this freaking game just doesnt want to work.
I installed SS2 on this PC (runs windows vista home premium 32bit), but sadly the game won't run correctly. I've looked around a little bit, and I see that not watching the videos is a common problem. But that's not my main problem <:/ I can run the game just fine for about 30 seconds... suddenly, it just freezes. The last sound is looped, and the mouse is frozen.

1 month out of warranty my laptop HD broke, typical. It had pre-installed windows XP on it. (i never got round to making a restore/bootable CD) I've fitted a new drive and I fancy getting Vista HP. As I own a copy of XP (although on a non-working drive) I should only need to upgrade. However all the info I can find says that the upgrade must be started from within the previous system. Anybody any idea what my options are?? What are the price differences between the full and upgrade options??

View 4 Replies View RelatedYou are a GOD...without the appropriate bowing. I have been stressing for 3 solid days since I installed Windows 7. I have been unable to use and hear sound (through 'test' or 'monitor') using my mic in Ventrilo. So many forums speaking about which client version to use in order for my sounds of joy to be heard when I all of a sudden happened onto this forum with your praises of the Titanium Fatal1ty sound card from Creative. It worked just fine with XP x64 via the simple 'Line-In' 3.5 mm jack on the card, but did not work with Win7. But like you explained about the AC '97 hook up from the FP, which was something I used in my final google/yahoo search, wolla (or viola, depending on where you heard it first) I HAVE VOICE.
