Nope, I had no problem installing GTA 4 on 7. The screen just goes black. If I remember correctly, I think I looked it up and it said not compatiable with 7. This was a few months ago. I even tried the compatiablility settings. Do you set it under a set operating system, such as 2000 or win...

Gta 4 GTA 4 doesn't work with Windows 7. You need to revert back to or install XP, service pack 3. I wish it worked on Win 7. If anyone finds a new solution to that, please let me know. Perhaps the creators of GTA know something by now. If not, I know they're working on GTA 5, and that...

I never heard of that program until now. I've always been a fan of Super AntiSpyware and often had luck with SpyBot. But now that I know about it, I'll use it. My internet is still running fairly slow, so I'm really getting frustrated at this point. I just redid my entire system 3 weeks ago...

Bingo! I went through about 7 anti spyware programs until I finally found it. I used Malwarebytes Anti-Malware program. It found 16 trojan horses called "Trojan.DNSChanger." Tough sucker! It took over my entire system. Everything runs great now. Bingo! I finally found it, after going...

You know, even though disabling the ad ons helped, I don't think thats the problem. I think I know whats going on. I did run two virus scans and it turned up nothing. I'm thinking now that this is a hikacking or spyware. Because I tried installing 3-4 different programs this morning and...

Well I found the ad ons and disabled at least 10 of them. Its too early to tell. But I've already noticed a signifigant difference in speed. Wow, I would have never thought of that. Nice job. Many thanks. I'm not sure if thats the entire solution. But it definately helped. Thanks again...

Ok I appreciate it. It's IE8. This might seem like a bit of a dumb question. But what do you mean by ad ons and where would I locate that on IE8? In the meantime, I'll see if I can figure it out myself. Thanks.

This has been going on since I installed Windows 7 about 3 weeks ago. I'm running a 32 bit system. It happens mainly with the internet. I generally wait 30-40 seconds for a site to open, whereas before it was about 2 seconds. Sometimes it even says connection lost. But the modem is still...

I just don't understand as an advanced user, why my system is running so slow with Windows 7. I've updated all my drivers, cleared out the caches, cleaned the registry, tweeked the registry, closed down all background programs running, ran virus scan with AVG and Avast anti virus programs...

Yes, I finally got sound now. Thanks a lot for the help. What a pain. Windows 7 takes a lot of updated drivers to run everything, but its a great improvement over XP. The only other issue I'm having is how to make the icons smaller and how to create a quick launch menu. The icons are so...

sound card The soundcard is an X-Fi extreme gamer card, by Creative. Very good card for its time.

Gta 4 Yes, I understand. But with all due respect, I'm referring to GTA 4. Not Crysis. This is driving me nuts. All because of an operating system, I can't install my sound card and my game. So I'm forced to revert back to XP. I'm trying to find a reason not to revert back. If anyone has...
