game installation

Wondering if my graphics card is shot. I've been running Windows 7 for about 1-2 weeks without any problems. My cousin installed a game on my pc last night (which i've since uninstalled), and now my display driver is acting crazy. I'm constantly getting "Display driver nvidia windows kernel...

Usually when I install a new OS I load up my games with great trepidation but all the games that ran in Vista 64 also run in Windows 7 64. They are: Age of Empires (I should hope so MicroSoft released it) Company of Heroes Dangerous Waters DCS Black Shark Falcon Allied Force Flashpoint...

Hiya guys, Now, many of you may call me crazy but let me assure you, I know my way around computers pretty darn well, both hardware and software but this is really quite an odd issue. Since the RC release I've been testing, as we all have. Honestly, to me, Win 7 so far looks like XP with a...

I want to install a PC game on Windows 7 RC that was meant for Windows XP or earlier. The game is called Ai Yori Aoshi and it is a Visual Novel from Hirameki International Group Inc., KID (Kindle Imagine Develop), and Anime Play. The problem is: I cannot install the game. I can run the...

Call of Duty 5 i bought from my friend for 40 bucks along with Call of Duty 4. Cheap right? Haha. Anyways, they came with a video card he had bought and he didn't want them so he sold them to me, they're unopened, brand new. I installed them, Call of Duty 4 works perfectly fine. Sometimes...

Hi there. I recently found a very strange issue. I have an Acer 7520G laptop with Windows Vista 64-bit Bussiness Edition installed. It worked fine (relatively) for some time. However, just today, I installed a game, switched the resolution to 1440x900 and the computer froze. I tried...

Greetings all! I thought I would post this here and see if anyone had any ideas before I am reduced to wiping my drive and starting with a fresh install of Vista. The problem is this. I am trying to install a Virtual CD program that is, according to their site, Vista compatible. However, the...

Anyone have any luck getting Halo 2 to work? I get the following error when I try to install it on 32-bit Windows 7: The ordinal 125 could not be located in the dynamic link library dwmapi.dll. Looks like someone coded with the assumption that the DWM API DLL would not change AT ALL between...

Okay, read through many dual boot threads here but none seem to be quite like my problem. My system drive failed in a media center PC I have built. I used my XP MCE 2005 install CD to create a new system drive, on a 1TB disc which had formerly been reserved for movies only. There was still...
