Games

Hello, i have the same problem as many of these people except i have 2 games

loading a menu that never maximizes. Then after about 3 mins it say checking
for problem then closes and nothing happens. Please help comments
appreciated, also email me at mog_lordsman1@xxxxxx. I Dont know if this
information is a factor but i have Vista Home Premium by the way.

Update all your drivers, video and audio.
Update the games with the latest patches for the game (Check the game makers
website http://support.ea.com)
Try the games again, if they still fail to run, try right-clicking on the
game icon, and choose run as administrator.

If all that fails, respond here with your computer make and model so we can
help further.

> Okay, well i tried all that and still nothing works, when i went to the website http://support.ea.com) they said try clicking and running it as compatible and when i did that the game wasnt even recognized in the drive.... so i have no idea whats up, i also tried downloading and installing a patch from gamecopyworld and that didnt work either.
