My Windows Vista won't play games

[merk402]

I have installed multiple games on my Vista, like Assassin's Creed, and when I try to play them, the intro plays, and then a message pops up that says that my game has stopped working and Windows is searching for a solution. Then this message pops up,

Assasin's Creed Game has stopped working

A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is abailable.

I have tried restarting the game, reinstalling it, everything I can think of.

Anybody have any advice? thanks

Hello merk402,

Welcome to Vista Forums.

Would you mind posting your system specs?

well I have a Windows Vista Home Basic with a 32 bit operating system. Umm, what else do you need to know?

Such as your video card, amount of RAM, CPU, etc.

This is simply in order to determine if your system is capable of running the games.

Well, after I installed Assasin's Creed, a window popped up that said showed all the minimum requirements and my system had all the right ones, I have 4 gig ram and enough memory, the game said that I had all the right requirements.

Okay,

Well if you're sure you have the right system requirements, then I suggest, as a first step, try re-installing Assassin's Creed. There may have been an error in the original installation, thus causing the error message.

Well, I have tried reinstalling it. I have also tried a different game with the same exact results. The game will start, it gets all the way through the opening credits and intro movie, then that message pops up saying that it has stopped working. Are there any other possibilities?

You may not have enough RAM.
