Am on Windows 7, and reinstalled it couple of times before, although it works probably, but games dont work, gives me crashAPP message, and even failed to install it. even play player dont play some files. am wondering is this is due to deleted Reg keys, and how can I restore deleted reg keys if I reinstalled windows. or reinstalling windows has the cure ?
I am trying to play some games, but I can't because of this problem. I only have 64mb dedicated video memory, when in fact, I have 1696mb graphics memory. Also, there is a combined graphics card, one worse than the other, and I always seem to be suing the worse one, whne i want to use the better one. BTW, I am using an ASUS.
I upgraded to a new compaq laptop last year with windows 7 installed, and now i'm unable to play my old dos games and its giving me this error message when i try to play :
The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher.
I have dos box and it's still not working!! I would of assumed windows 7 would of had a program installed that would automatically allow you to play these games? What do i need to do? I'm not always keen or too confident at changing my computers settings is there a laymans guide at all?
I recently had a problem with my games (found in the thread here) that involved the games lagging badly. It turned out to be an image settings preference that I hadn't set properly. In my attempt to fix the problem however I did a clean install of drivers and updated to v301.42.
Since I installed the new driver none of my games would start (NBA 2K12, Assassin's Creed, Skyrim etc.) and simply go to a black windowed screen. Skyrim tells me that 'Your display doesn't support the selected resolution'. However, I am using the native resolution (1680x1050) for my monitor.
i use a dell laptop and i cant be able to play any game even the OS games. it says directDraw acceleration, DirectD3 acceleration and AGP texture acceleration are not available. Ii also says hardware acceleration is disabled?
I am new to windows 7, and was trying to run the tutorials supplied my microsoft, but every time I try, I get a message saying that I need to download windows media player.
I will never learn anything at this rate. I cant see why the windows 7 creators would insist I use a player with the windows name, windows media player, if it does not even work. How limited and it should be embarassing.
I'm Just the other day when i cut on my computer it wouldnt boot so i tried to restore it to a earlier time but it wouldnt work so i tried to restore to factory setting and it wouldnt do that either now i get a message telling me to restart installation cause windows couldnt be completed can someone please help. I have a ACER ASPIRE computer which windows was pre-installed and i have no disc. The disc i created dont work i put it n anotha computer and it said it was blank.
I did a fresh install of windows 7 ultimate I was really just uping it to the 64bit beause I accidentally installed the 32 bit. So after doing all of this Windows 7 is working fine however upon boot up where normally I would have the option to choose which OS I wanted to start up, it just goes straight to windows instead of giving me an option. I had the latest version of Ubuntu, and I know that when I installed widows I put it on the right partition of my C: drive. Do I need to know reinstall Ubuntu as well or is there some kind of setting I have to change to get it to show me the OS selecting screen.
i just formatted and reinstalled windows 7. wireless internet was working perfectly fine before, however after reinstalling windows 7 my bluetooth network adapter is not able to detect any signals. i attempted troubleshooting and it said to connect a ethernet cable. i did notice in device manager in "other devices" theres a device "network controller" that isn't installed. i'm not able to cuz i can't access the internet with that laptop.
I have the problems with playing games on my windows 7. At first, i can played most of the games that can be downloaded from websites. But now, I can't play most of the games.. The error message shows that there's the problem with my graphic card, and keep asking me to change the resolution and color depth. I didn't do anything with resolution and color depth, therefore no need to do anything. I'm currently using the "Realtek High Definition Audio Driver" and I've tried to upgrade to new one. But, I got the problem with installation What kind of driver should i installed ?

I have windows 7 64 bit on an asus computer with a processor of intel core 2 quad and when i had windows vista, i could play my downloaded games with ease. However, every time I try to play it now, the screen either blacks out and restarts or the blue screen pops up.
I tried compatibility mode. I tried turning on data execution prevention with that game. I don't want to play it with virtual os like vmware. Is there anyway to play this game on windows 7. Its la street racing and made 2007 and other older games
More specifically I want to play the original diablo over a LAN connection. Problem being IPX is no longer supported.
My computer is running Windows 7 Home Premium as title states. This apparently is one of the only Windows 7 editions that cannot run a Virtual PC Windows XP mode so i'm out of good ideas.
The other computer is using windows xp, i have manually installed an ipx protocol.
Does microsoft have any possible fixes? I'd rather not download shady software such as IPX emulators if it can be avoided.
I have an HP computer with Windows 7 and a Radeon 7450 video card. Many of the older games only run in a minimized screen, and there is no option for full screen. I need them to run in full full screen.
I've been having alot of trouble looking for solutions to update my standaard vga graphics adapter and cant find any.

Ive been trying to play several games every few months when im bored but they end up not working so i delete them. But now ive been told that the problem was my driver and i still havnt found any solutions.[CODE]
I have Windows 7 for about a year now and I really didn't have any problems up until a few months ago. My mouse pointer would start refreshing/flickering every 5 minutes or so and it would slow down anything I was watching or playing at the time. It doesn't really bother me when I watch movies because I can just shake the mouse and it would stop but when I play games I can't do anything about it and so I can't really play any games. I asked my repair man, he also has Windows 7 but he didn't know how to fix it.
My computer can run games fine for about 5 minutes, but that's about it. Then it will experience extreme lag, to the point where my FPS drops to 1-5. Usually I would think my video card is bad, but I don't believe so because it has played games fine in the past.
