Background: I installed 7 on an older XP box running on a Athlon XP 2800+ with 3gb PC400 and an nVidia geForce 7800. All of my newer games ran fine at mediocre to medium settings on XP.
Currently going through and installing the games on Windows 7 now. What I have so far:
Fallout3: Installed fine. Ran great for about 20 minutes.
Problems: 1. Graphics were...in a word...weird. Graphics were blocky, but the facial features were better defined than when running on XP. Boosted the settings but had the same issues.
2. While the game was still running...and runing jus fine...I got a pop-up error box stating that Fallout3 had stopped running and windows was trying to determine why...but it was still running and still responding to keyboard/mouse commands.
Mass Effect: This is the most disheartening, since it is my favorite game right now.
Problem: Will not install. Gets to a point and says it cannot open a particular file.
Attempted solutions: Run as administrator: No Luck.
Any help with ME from those who succesfully installed it would be greatly appreciated. I will post updates as I try installing/running more.
Next attempt to install...failed at the same file.
Problem: Still not installing...gets to a point and stops.
I copied the disk to my hdd so I could run it from there as admin. It got to the same point as when installing from disk and stopped.
The Error: The error box says:
Error opening file for writing
C:\Program Files\Mass Effect\saferun.dll
As promised....
Xmen Wolverine Origins.

Scanning through this thread, I read where that one person did get CoD to work, but he didn't indicate which build or architecture, so that may be why it worked for him, and not myself. I normally wouldn't bother posting a question such as this, and simply relegate the games to the shelf, but two in a row seemed to indicate a problem that may keep popping up. I did set CoD to Vista SP2 compatability, and it made no difference.
