| | Re: Afraid to buy more games, they wont work anyway Have you tried Compatibility Mode? Right click the icon Click Properties Click Compatibility tab Adjust settings. Check with the manufacturer of the game to see what they say about Windows Vista compatibility. Some may need a patch from the manufacturer.

Right click the game shortcut and select run as administrator. Also the compatibility modes may fix them as the MVP said. |
