Re: pc video games

Yes, most of them will. Nearly all of the newer ones do. But, without the
name of the game, we can't really tell you yes or no.

Re: pc video games

"Most" games work with Vista. A few require that you install an update to
the DX subsystem to add some 9c files.
In a few cases, video drivers may need to be changed (updated), or video
settings modified.
Older games may require "compatability" settings to work.

Re: pc video games

ehm, do you have it patched or cracked for a no-cd? that caused a lockup for me aswell.Try reinstalling it, while running no other programs. then from scratch, play it then and there with disc. if it doesnt work, try searching for a mini image, It worked for me because my disc is ruined with scratches and wont read properly, and EA charge €12 for a new disc.
