Hello

My os was previously 64 bits ; Ihave installed instead Windows 7 32 bits which runs faster

I was wondering why my games Total War serie ( Empire / Napoleon / Showgun2)

don't start ?

They where working on XP ; Windows 7 (64)

Is there a setting or a service that I should start ?

thanks for your answer

likely if you used the saved games or just moved a steam folder then the hardware config will be for 64bit so you need to delete the config file

[langtitle=fr]Re: Windows 7 32 bits game doesn't start[/langtitle]

[lang=fr]Non; j'ai installé le jeu à partir du début ; mais quand je clic sur le jeu ... rien ne se passe

j'ai réinstallé la version 64 bit et ça marche à nouveau ; Bon , ! Sur Xp le jeu marche également - juste pour signalé - ; je ne sais pas où il faut intervenir dans la version W7 32 bit pour que le jeu soit reconnu ....

cordialement[/lang]
