I'm having trouble with my beloved Counter-Strike! In the middle of game play CS will just close on me, BAM! with no error messages or notifications; almost as if I ended the task. I'm new to the tech side of computers.
recently got vista 32bit so now installing my old games on this comp though when i got to installing bladerunner an error message comes up saying c:windowssystem32config.nt is missing.
while 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).
I have installed civ 4 with the warlords expansion pack on my vista home edition premium 6.0. Install went smoothly. When trying to launch the game i get this error message: This application has failed to start because D3DX9_32.DLL was not found. Re-installing the applicatio n may fix the problem. I have tried re-installing with no luck.
Microsoft then tells me that the problem is with directx 9 and gives me a link to update the end user run-time installer. Which sounds like a perfect and easy fix.Turns out that no matter what version or update i try to install I am screwed. I get this error message upon the initializing phase of the install: An internal system error occured: Please refer to the dx.error log or the Dx.log in your windows folder.
As i said it does not matter what version of directx i try to update i get the same message. Can I not play Civ 4 on vista? I have heard maybe the compatibility mode might fix but I am unsure how exactly to do that right. I have tried a few times...Also spent hours on the phone with game support
Whenever I am playing an mp3 or video, and I click the x to close wmp the program closes, but the mp3 or video continues to play. How can I correct this?
I 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.
is my IL2 Sturmovik forgotten battles won't play. It loads no problem but when you click play the next icon(shows a russian plan) appears the screen flicks and thats it
I have my WoW installed on a separate partition, b/c I thought this would speed it up (something about the computer not having to look through ALL of its memory during game play). However, whenever my computer does ANYTHING else, I experience a 5-10 second lag in game play. I have a 2 Ghz dual processor and over 200 gigs of space on my main drive (the WoW drive has 15/30 gigs being used right now). Is the problem being caused by WoW being on a separate partition? if so, would removing that partition fix the problem? And can I do that without reinstalling WoW (WoW regularly updates with patches downloaded from the internet, which would take several hours to redownload and install).
I've just buy the first f.e.a.r., and it seems I can't play it. I can install it, but when I start to play, the screen become more colorful than a rainbow and my computer crash. My question is, does f.e.a.r. is compatible with vista 64 bit home premium sp 1? I don't really understand that I can play Crysis, but not f.e.a.r.! Does anyone have the same problem? I've tried to run this game as an administrator, and to run it in compatibility mode, but nothing seems to do the trick. I've installed the latest driver for my graphic card, etc, etc....
Whenever I play any game at full quality graphics, after some time the computer just freezes.....Does anybody know how to fix this My graphics card is NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS Intel Core 2 Duo ....
Recently my windows vista/computer has been shuting itself down after a period of 10-15 minutes of gameplay. Reguardless of the game or age thereof. it may be linked to this message that pops up every time the computer starts up but im not sure. If there is anyone who knows how to fix this or knows of anyone who can help me please help me! This is the message that continues to pop up "Could not load file or assembly 'MOM.Implementation, Version=2.0.3555.28962,Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=90ba9c70f846762e' or one of its dependencies. the system cannot find the file specified.
I can't play Game and can't watch Movie in my Vista machine, it happens to all kind of games requiring to initialize the graphic, for example I play game like Plants vs Zombies, a screen with black screen will appear, and any windows moving about this game window, will leave a trace on the game window :
I have tried running the game as Administrator, to set compatibility mode to Windows XP SP 2. and it still not working, I even downloaded DirectX 10 and re-install it, but it still not working

I also bought 2GB PNY DDR2 667Mhz for just £12. I wont be able to buy a new motherboard till febuary which sucks as i can only go as far as 2GB Ram on the 1 I've got Oh yeh some of the other BFG cards at play.com come with a 425W power supply,but no mention of it with mine,would i need 2 buy 1 straight away?
When i play on a game and record using FRAPS, everything thing is fine and gfx are normal, but when i go to out of game to play them back it plays back as this:
my dad just bought me this computer its a e machines EL1300G-01W its rating is 3/10... He's not very good with computers so he didn't know..he thought he'd buy me a 298$ desktop and I'd be happy.. I can't open Emulators for (SNES, NES, DS, ETC...) I can't play anything on Yoyogames... with small programs it gets 100% CPU Usage.. My computer model is un-upgradable.. I can only upgrade the ram..thats about it...it only has one PCI 1 slot and not enough room for my new graphics card that needs a PCI-Express 16x slot.. What the hell do I do with this?? My dad won't bring it back for a refund... It is better then my other computer but it still lags like crazy..
I just got my new system and am now running Vista Home Premium. I just installed Dungeon Keeper 2 and applied the 1.7 patch that came on the disc with it, then did the compatibility options stuff under the properties tab. The game loads up no problems but during game play all I can see is a bunch of tiny black squares all over the screen. Tried fiddling with the graphics settings in game but nothing seems to work
I have nVidia as per title, but when I want to play HD 1080p videos through VLC player I come into problems. It starts of 1-2 second then stops, while you can hear the sound, then plays the video for another 1-2 second and stops again, while you can hear the sound.When attempts to play the video, it jumps to where video should be together with the soudn you can see pixels and very slow movements and it stops again. Almost it seems that it is buffering the video while attempting to play it in the same time. I know that max resolution is 2560x1600 which is more then enough to 1080p HD videos. I have 17" monitor, Q6600, 4GB ram. how can I play 1080p HD file without having video output start stop. Went an downloaded trial version of CoreAVC and was able to play it through Windows media player
Word opens just fine but will not close properly. When I save and close, it gives an error message and tries to open the Word application again to a blank page.
About a few months ago I can still play games like Combat Arms, Call of Duty 4, BioShock, and Dead Space at minimal performance. But now, I reinstalled the game to play it again and it just got stuck on the Starting Screen or just plain BLACK Screen! I can still play some MMORPG like Sword of the New World: Granado Espada or the recently Closed-Beta, Luna Online just fine. I don't know what I did wrong with my Dell XPS Laptop.
As said I am strictly Windows.' But if I play with Linux, it's NovellSUSE Not Debian-based Ubuntu, which is funded, di doyu know? By Mark Shuttleworth, remember S.A. entrepreneur whos epaid for a SpaceShuttle trip and changed hi slastname? He makes money on Extended TechSupport for Ubuntu, no tmuch money but Ubuntu is not entirely free, problem it creates pitiful amount of jobs & is as inferior to Windows, as free healthcare would be to commercial. Nothing good is free in this world, except natural commodities like air, and even that is a limited & increasingly polluted resources
Nothing sux more than something you don't pay for, when you grow up & realize you spent years on playing with Hobbyist Operating System. Again if I play with it, it's SUSE. SUSE is simply closer to commercial quality, yes you will say Novell is in bed with Microsoft. So WHAT??? In fact it's a good sign.
i installed cricket 2004 in my laptop with 1gb ram. unfortunately the game requires only 64mb of ram. so my game runs very faster that i culdnt play on it. i want to restrict the memory size that is allocated to that application.
I finally decided to upgrade to Vista, and since I have 4GB ram I thought I'd give 64bit a shot. Every game I play crashes, or fails to load at all, or gets into the game and crashes during map load. I have Vista Ultimate 64 installed. I have installed and re-installed the OS multiple times to no effect. I've downloaded all of the windows updates. During one of my first installs of vista, I was able to get in to games of codwaw, but then it would crash after about 5 secs.......
I am trying to play assasins creed in my new laptop, but every timne tha ti start he game my scream turns black and that all, nothing else. Or in some other ocations ist show a message that the program is having troubles and that is oging to close itself.
Everytime I try to open a game or something requiring .NET Framework I get this error message:
To run this application you need to install one of the following applications: .NET Framework v2.0.50727
I already installed this, and it errored, and it did not appear on my add/remove so I couldn't uninstall it. So I tried deleting it manually through the Framework folder, which Vista won't allow me permission to do. So i did the next best thing and ripped it out onto my desktop. I tried to reinstall and the installer claims that 2.0.5 is already installed, and I can't even reinstall 1.0 or 1.1 because it errors, and I can't install 3.5 because it thinks there's a prior version. So now i'm stuck with three folders on my desktop I can't delete, no .NET Framework and seemingly no way of getting it.
Heres the story...I recently purchased a new PC running Vista Home Premium and when I got it home, I wanted to test its graphics, so I downloaded the free PC game, America's Army. When I tried to install, I received an error about ISKernels. When I searched this error, I found that I needed to download some service packs for Invest Sign. When I downloaded these and attempt to install them, I am prompted by Vista to "Enter the Password." Now, when I created my Admin account, I did not enter a password, so I have no clue what password they may mean. While investigating this problem, I have attempted to right-click the files and select "Run As Administrator," as well as creating a password and then trying ot use that during installation. Unfortunately, neither of these things work. Is there a default Vista password or is this a bug?

I'm having a problem with Windows Vista Home Premium, whenever I go to select a profile "Administrator" or "AL". AL gives me a black screen with an error message "Windows Explorer has encountered and error and had to close", it also says "Host Process has encountered and error and needs to close", after opening Task Manager. If I try to open explorer.exe through Task Manager, it stops working, and I can't get anything else working either it just has the same problem.
My PC crashed on me last month. The hard drive had to be erased and re-loaded. Microsoft will not allow me to activate the same Vista version that came with my PC. Error message says it is in use by another computer. The Microsoft web site Help and Support solution did not work - same error message. They now want to charge me to get a new product code or contact them for help.
