| Vista Home Premium 64bit | older games get unmovible black screen Hi I've tried to install 2 games (C&C Generals: Zero Hour, and Robot Arena 2: Design and Destroy). After a successful install, I'd click on the .exe file to run the game and a black screen appears. I can NOT close the screen with ctrl+alt+delete or alt+tab, neither can I restart the computer buy pressing the physical button, thus forcing me to turn my computer off at the mains. System specs: Vista Home Premium x64 Intel Dual Core E7400 4GB RAM NVIDIA 9800GT I've tried running in compatibility mode (XP service pack 2) and they still don't work. Is it possible that these games are simply unable to be used with Vista at all? Thanks very much for any help. Last edited by SDFarsight; 04-21-2009 at 10:33 PM.. |

| Vista x64 + Windows 7 x64 (Ultimate) | Re: old games get black screen How old are these games? if really old, you may not be able to make them run on x64. There is another thread about old games & Vista 64 and some other member suggested downloading "Microsoft Virtual PC"... you should look into it. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en |
