Microsoft Games Won't Run?
Jan 21, 2012
I bought a new system (Windows 7 ultimate 64-bit OS, 1.86 GHz Intel Core 2 processor and 3 GB RAM). However, when I try to play the Microsoft games that came with it, the only game that runs properly is Chess Titans. When I go to START and click on the Solitaire, Mahjong, Hearts, Minesweeper or any game other than Chess Titans, the game looks like it's starting, the freezes and I get the message "Executable for (game name) has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly."I tried stopping the processes for the games in the program panel and re-starting them, re-booting after each procedure and also running an sfc /scannow. Nothing works

I have a new HP Compaq DC 5700 64 bit computer that has Windows 7 as the OS, 1.86 GHz Intel Core 2 processor and 3 GB RAM. I can play Chess Titans, but all the other installed games hang when I try to play. I get a message (see attached screenshot).

my hdd died, so i opted for a fresh install of windows 7 professional on the new hdd. i reinstalled all my programs and drivers and such. but i've had the same problem ever since:sometimes, randomly, when i start my computer, these things happen all at once:microsoft games (solitaire, minesweeper, majong, etc.) will not open. i double-click on them, and then nothing. no error, nothing to indicate the computer is trying to open them. if i go directly to the application and try to open them there, same thing. video does not play correctly. in wmp, it just plays the audio and displays a small screenshot of the video (as if it were album art).
divx player won't play anything at all. vlc player would open a separate screen called yuv sdl output. but the latest update for vlc fixed that. if i try to play a dvd, i get this error:windows media player cannot play dvd video. you might need to adjust your windows display settings. open display settings in control panel, and then try lowering your screen resolution and color quality settings. changing the settings does nothing. in radeon catalyst control center, when i'm adjusting the video settings, i will get an error stating the sample video cannot load. if i were to play a game like portal 2 or fallout: new vegas, nothing happens. i put in the disc, and nothing happens. i double-click on the disc, and nothing happens - just as with the windows games. all of these happen at once, randomly, when i start my computer - sometimes everything works fine, sometimes it all stops working. restarting my laptop usually fixes the problem.i went through and updated all my drivers, including the graphics drivers and updated radeon catalyst control center.
-edit-when on Internet or other streaming media sites (doesn't matter which player is being used) if i try to go fullscreen, it turns the screen black and opens a new tab called adobe flash player. but this "tab" is just transparent and nothing displays. the sound still displays fine though. i also can't do anything. everywhere i click, it just stops/plays the sound (as if it was in fullscreen). i have to hit windows+tab or ctrl+alt+delete to get back to regular view.
-edit 2-found another thing affected. i went to check my windows experience index score and it said there is no information available; you haven't run the test yet. but i have multiple times. so i go to run it and nothing happened. i tried several times but had no response.

I am taking an online college course. When answering questions we were advised to first type our answers into micrsoft word and then copy and paste into the website.The school website only has basic spell check that is the reason for copy and pasting.I have Word 2010 and Windows 7.

The autostart function is not working properly. When introduced a CD Rom into the drive, it has all the autostart functions for movies, pics, documents, but instead of starting the games directly, It allways ask me to open the file, movies or pics, but the game never starts automatically as It used to do in the past Windows versions, and in Windows 7 BEFORE SP1. It's imposible to play games that require the insertion of the disc into the CD Rom Drive, for the same reason.Im running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and have a LG Super Multi RwDVD +R DL Light scribe multirecorder.

ok so i have a problem thats been driving me insane. my toshiba F50 was working totally fine until suddenly during games my GPU started overheating quickly during games (Was not doing this before) i noticed that my fan didnt seem to be spinning as fast as before. i cleaned it still no avail, tried riva tuner and ntune and all of that jazz and all of them have the fan control options greyed out? (cannot use them)i noticed that when i start the laptop the POST test on the fans guns the fan to 100% speed so i know its capable of doing it. it seems like the fan doesnt know to speed up when it gets hot and it keeps shutting my system down and i reallllly dont feel like damaging my GPU. i tried rolling back my drivers and running the latest drivers.

When I click on games in my start menu only the games on my c drive show. I ran out of space on the c drive practically the day I bought it (SSD), so now I install games to my D drive. I tried dragging the .exe start file over to the games window and it did copy the icon over but I get a message that the game has stopped working when I click it, followed by automatic error reporting to Microsoft after.

When using Microsoft Update, there is a security update for .NET Framework 3.5.1 R2 SP1 for x64 systems
( that would be my machine) - KB2518869 & KB2572077. I download them, yet the install fails and the following " Error Encountered Code 80073712" is called out.1st I am not knowledgable of the purpose of .NET and its workings so cannot talk intelligently about it.AND I have tried to down load this a few times ( even with some tech support help from AVG ) and they too could not crack the code.
Here is the Hijack-this log file:

I want to install SP1 on my home m/c but it's a slow link (file size is approx 1GB) and I want to download SP1 on another machine (XP) with a faster link and then run it on my m/c.
When I try and download from Microsoft it says XP m/c illegal action (or some such). So far I have been unable to find a copy I can download on a XP m/c.

I am currently trying to determine if MSE is having a problem that Microsoft is not addressing.If you check the Event Viewer and show a SxS error or a Microsoft Anti-malware error, it might be caused by a problem with MseSysPrep.DLL.It seems running the Scheduled Task related to Application Experience will show a problem with MSESysPrep.dll. Many folks are showing the error and I am having a problem with the MSE real time protection shutting down because of "updates".I do not feel shutting down the real time protection for MSE updates is appropriate, so I will be watching to see if Microsoft addresses the problem.

I purchased Windows 7 pro and I have a license that lets me install it on three different computers. 2 of the computers are not longer running and I need to reinstall it on two of my new computers. I need to reset the key to enable that but I am not sure who to talk to to make that happen or what number to call.

I bought Win 7 Ultimate from a third party dealer on Buy.com that turned out have a bogus product key. Since Ultimate is installed on my computer now, can I buy the Anytime Upgrade from Home Premium to Ultimate? It's only $139, and it would seem to be perfectly honest. I had Home Premium before I installed Ultimate.

Microsoft stopped making new versions of Microsoft Money, their personal money management software package and now they've made it available for everybody for free well, sorta.The new Sunset versions were created so that existing customers could continue to install MS Money without requiring activation, but that also means anybody can download and install it.From their page: The Microsoft Money Plus Sunset versions are replacements for expired versions of Microsoft Money Essentials, Deluxe, Premium, and Home and Business. They allow existing customers to use Money Plus to continue accessing their data. Changes to the new versions include file conversions from older versions of Money, no required activation, no online services and no assisted support.

For some reason the Microsoft Fix It Solution Centre will not accept, and so help me, with problems. Instead, I get the message :Fix It trouble Shooter cannot continue because an error occurs.This Trouble Shooter doesn't apply to this computer.I have been able to make use of this facility since my PC was new (last May) and this is a recent message.I see, from Google, that others complain of this problem butseemingly no solution has been given, although the failure to install Update KB976902 has been suggested as a possible cause of this problem.I have checked, and this update was installed successfully on my PC.

I was recently helped out by gringo_pr for a virus and now I am back for more help. Today was the first day I tried to run a program that involved .NET, which failed to run. The .NET repair did not work nor did uninstalling .NET 4 and reinstalling. Through my searching for solutions on the internet I found that I should uninstall all .NET versions and reinstall them and I used microsoft fix it tools to do so following the instructions step by step, besides reinstalling .NET 1.0, 1.1. and 3.5 since I don't think they are used on windows 7. Now windows updater and the .NET stand-alone installer fail to install .NET 4. I have tried microsoft fix it tools to try and fix the windows installer but that doesnt seem to work either. And now i am stuck.

Looks like Microsoft listened, because with the new 7048 Build they have windows drivers for nforce 3 chipsets, particularly the networking controller that we havent had support for. So glad they were able to get us a driver! Not sure if nvidia had anything to do with it since it was not off their site, it just recognized it and installed automatically.
So to anyone else that has avoided the beta, or is using a PCI Network card, now you can pull it out and use the native driver with the 7048 build.

BTW, in support of Microsoft I voted for 'Buy it'

I'm posting this using WinXP (my usual OS), and Windows 7 runs on the same hardware except it's a separate boot disk (ie, not a dual boot system).
I know I can click a link on the Windows 7 desktop to report problems etc, but how can I do the same from a machine not running Windows 7? Is there a URL that can be made sticky on this forum, perhaps?
In particular I want to direct them here - a solution (albeit trivial).
