I used Steam to download New Vegas and Direct2Drive to download Oblivion. Recently, I restored my computer to a system image using an external drive and when I played both games the saves disappeared. The system image I restored to was not before I had the saves and I can still go to My Documents and view that I have the saves still on my computer but they wont load when I launch the game.
I need to do a 7 reinstall.I really don't want to start all my games from beginning again.Where do I find my saves?After I reinstall the games,do I just transfer the saves to the same folder the saves was before & it's done?
When attempting to download a slot game to my gateway all in one pc the program goes as far as putting an icon on my screensaver and then Windows window pops up and says there is a problem and cannot finish. This is a gateway zx66971. Can I install an external video card and will this help?
Ok so both of my desktop and laptop had Windows 7 64bit installed
My desktop is Q6600 2.4GHz 2.4Gb RAM
My laptop is Core 2 Core Intel 2.0GHz 4Gb RAM
Somehow my laptop load the game "Warcraft3 TFT" much faster than my desktop?
I've tried defragment my HD on desktop
By the way both systems are clean installed which I format everything to make it brand new (nothing really installed in the system except game and some random softwares)

I have a little problem with my laptop here, I am using Windows 7 enterprise 64-bit and everytime I reboot, nothing saves at all. This is quite annoying since I downloaded a 14GB game and it just vanished after reboot, now I got to download it again. I know there is a way to disable this thing, but I can't figure it out
I save a new document using either Save or Save as and it reacts as normal but then is not anywhere in Documents folders. The Find function does not locate it but it is still in the recently opened files section of Word. Thta is until 4 more files are opened. I tried saving changes to existing documents which works but document does not go to today's date as formerly.
I have just installed office 2007 and my icons are missing (I get DOCX on them). I have tried telling them to open with Word but when I double click to open them i just get lads of written code but when i go into word and then say open... they open ok.
When I install a game in Windows 7 and Windows recognizes it it dumps the game's shortcut in the Game folder of the Start Menu. That wouldn't be a problem except Windows 7 prevents the game from creating the shortcuts it would have created had the operating system not been Windows 7- things like the game's Read Me, Uninstaller & Configuration options.
I dont know if this is posted in the right area but I'm so desperate to get my laptop working its unreal. First it started off with my laptop crashing, I had totally forgot it needed to do a windows update and turned off my laptop in hopes that it would work properly. After that my laptop has not been working. The machine turns on and gives me two options. Start windows normally or do a repair. Upon starting windows normally, it loads so far before sending me back to the two options of start windows normally or repair. On the second time I clicked repair. My laptop then goes so far before presenting me with a blue screen that is usually the screen where my accounts are. The cursor still moves but it loads no further even after leaving it an hour. I decided to make a repair disk, hoping that the problem was because of windows. the disk loads, gives me a choice on the keyboard language then does nothing. I honestly have no idea what to do, I want to keep all the files safe on my computer as I havent backed them up and I have worked so hard on the projects.
Im having a couple problems with my computer, firstly when i boot up The icon for the LAN onnection has a red cross to say its not connected even though it is and it will recognise that it is after approx. 5 minutes and will only say network instead of the actual name if my connection (network99) secondly when i log on from booting up the desktop take a while to load and all the icon thumbnails load slowly one at a time and its really slow.
Recently my computer is always at 100% even when no apps are running. But as soon as i run Task manager load reduces. This doesnt happen in safe mode. Im sure that this is a virus. When i scan my computer with Avira Antivirus (Free) it doesnt detect anything
I remember playing this game very very long ago. In the game, I was playing a ninja, and looking at the ninja from bird's eye view. There was many chapters in game, and if I remember right, at each end of the chapter, I had to kill a boss, more powerful monster. There was an old man with a beard, and he was giving me lessons, truths about some ninja stuff, life, etc... After finishing the game once, a better mode would be unlocked. We were a more powerful ninja, and able to kill monsters more easily. And it didn't have magnificent graphics, it was like a cartoon.
For a week now, every time i play a game, online or not, the game crashes best case scenario, i just get a game has stopped responding message other time it's just the BSOD Is Windows 7 x86 (32-bit) or x64 ? x64 - the original installed OS on the system? its Windows 7 home premium - an OEM or full retail version? full retail - What is the age of system (hardware)? bouhgt it in september 2011 - What is the age of OS installation (have you re-installed the OS?) i tried the dvd updatibng windows program yesterday, didn't do any good, but i've never formated it
I am trying to run Prince Of Persia 1, a DOS game but it wont run, the error, "This system does not support fullscreen mode" What can I do to run this?
I recently got Test Drive Unlimited 2 on my Dell XPS 17 and its ridiculous how I can only manage to get 15 FPS in the game. The game lags so much even if I change the graphics to the lowest settings. I checked if my laptop could run this game on Can You RUN It | Can I run that game | Game system requirements and i passed the recommend settings aswelll but I can't seem to be getting more than 15 FPS. [code]
As we all know, game compatibility frequently changed from build to build - some games that worked in older builds stopped working, and some games that did not work in older builds work in newer builds. Some of the latter can be attributed to patches put out but the game companies, and some can be attributed to the inclusion in Windows 7 missing components necessary to fulfill the total gaming experience of certain games.
That being said, there are now 2 lists to work with - the other list has been changed to a Pre-release list (and un-stickied), and this is now the official repository of games that work with the RTM. Read more at the forum...
I'm have played Pure on Xp and everything was running fine, till i got Windows 7 Ultimate. I downloaded Pure and when I start to race it freezes and don't respond.
Using a site called canyourunit I tested whether or not my laptop would be able to run a game, it said that I couldn't but the only requirement I didn't meet was my graphics card. So I'm wondering whether it would still run, but just poorer graphics? heres the details

I've stumbled upon a bit of a strange problem with my mouse. When I run a game of some sort my mouse starts to lag after a while, there is no lag in the rendering of the graphics just the movement of my mouse or mouse pointer.This can also occur randomly while just operating in windows without running any game 3D or non-3D, but if I unplug my USB mouse and plug it back in it starts working like normal. I have updated/re-installed the drivers for the mouse, also tried running without the special drivers for my mouse installed thus getting another aero related problem. But it works best with the drivers for the Razer Lachesis installed but as I mentioned before it the pointer starts lagging and if I just unplug and plug it back in it starts working so question is does anyone know what could cause this?
I had a Logitech controller for the longest time but I guess the 1000 times I dropped it caught up with it because its broken. I want one that's slightly like a PlayStation controller because I'm used to that. So that's why I thought of just of getting a Logitech dual pad controller again but a newer version.
I have installed an older version of Solitare Master 2. It is fully installed, but will not open. Keeps requesting the disk be inserted. I previously had it installed, successfully, on Windows XP?
I have a new Win 7 set-up, and while I'm currently using my older (yet still great) CRT monitor, I just bought a nice LCD monitor, so I'll have two.I game often, but it'd be great if I could have the game up on one full screen (not sure if it's possible to do this or it must be played in a window) and an application on the other.I understand that I would have to alt-tab to transfer between the two, which is fine, but what I think would be most useful would be to, say, have the keyboard commands for the game (from a text file, .pdf, picture, etc.) on the second monitor, while I play the game on the first. Other good examples would be to have a map of the game (again, a picture found online, not a map from the game itself, to be clear) or spreadsheet of stats up on the second screen that I could reference during play.I ask because my understanding is that there are three modes for using dual monitors in Windows 7. One allows you to run both as one big desktop. The other mirrors the screen, so you have the exact same desktop duplicated. The final has one off and the other on.
This makes it sound as if the only option is to have the game run in a window on one screen and then open the application, picture, whatever sized to the other. What I was hoping for was to have the game fill the entirety of one monitor and have the desktop confined to just the other, and alt-tab between the two.
I recently bought a game called Tales of Monkey Island. It can be played in PC and Mac. I put the dvd game in but it won't even play the cd as it keep popping out saying please insert a disk which i already have. I tested it out on my friends Mac and it seems perfectly fine
I am trying to play a game called Tribes: Ascend, which I downloaded from Steam. Unfortunately, it will not run. Earlier today, I deleted some files, including .dll files, to make space for the game (the files seemed useless). I probably shouldn't have done this. First, it popped up with an error that days I was missing a .dll file that was required to play the game, which I think I have fixed. Now, an error pops up saying: "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000022). Click OK to close the application." How can I fix this problem?
I have an old game called City Life 2008 Edition, which works fine on my Windows XP PC, however apparently it isn't compatible with my Windows 7 laptop. It won't even let me install the game the first time I tried it started installing but then it froze and crashed. And now when I try to install it, when the screen comes up after you except the terms and conditions it asks you to choose a saving folder for the game, and the continue button is grey (inactive), so I can't install it!!
I figured it's not compatible, how do I make it compatible?
I tried going to 'my computer' after I inserted the disk and right clicking 'properties' but there isn't anything about compatibility.
