microsoft windows vista games stopped working??
Sorry I dont know, i think ot would be the case of having a good search on
the internet. I have never had a Nvida card so would not know where to begin! "mfink81" wrote: Hi Mike, that's great news! Although, for me, i am having a hard time finding an update for my graphics card. I have Nvidia Geforce Go 6150 and it seems that I can't find an update on the nvidia site. Ive found the 6150 site but no updates for drivers on the site? Any suggestions on how i could find the updates? "Mike" wrote: I have now got mine working!

I have an ATI Radeon X800 GT card if you have a radeon card let me know and i can send you the info i found out to make the new drivers work properly "mfink81" wrote: Hi Mike, Well I am glad I am not the only one out there with this problem!

When will microsoft make a product that wont have errors??lol...anyways, if anybody comes across this error with their games and has a solution, please share it!

The only game that works 100% ok is the Hold em game for vista ultimate that i downloaed off the Ultimate Extras update. I have exactly the same error as you with my games and i am at a loss. I did extract this from my event log if it helps anyone diagnose the problem Faulting application FreeCell.exe, version 6.0.6000.16386, time stamp 0x4549b878, faulting module FreeCell.exe, version 6.0.6000.16386, time stamp 0x4549b878, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x0006ba0c, process id 0xd3c, application start time 0x01c7764239ce3573.

None of my games work I tried reinstalling the games and that did not work either. It just give me the error of: "Executable for Chess 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 available." Does this for all my games. Can anybody solve this problem?? I miss my games!Lol. "Mike" wrote: Hi There, I hvae had the exact problem today and i tried this and it has not worked, anymore suggestions?

I can't do a system restore because i didnt set a restore point until now so it's too late. I was hoping somebody might have a better solution other than to reinstall my whole system again? There should be no need to re-install the whole system... You could try un-installing then re-installing the games by going to the control panel, selecting "programs and features" then "turn windows features on or off" in the left pane Hope it helps === All the Best Katy Pluta, G4W MVP Visit Project Magenta! www.simpm.com |

The Go, is a part of a laptop, and normally that's limited to whateverthe vendor of the laptop releases. You might find a site that has modded drivers that have been made to work with the GO card. I'd look over at www.guru3d.com Obviously Modded drivers may or may not work well and pose a certain level of risk. You other option may be to go back a rev of drivers and then re-update them to the latest offered by the laptop vendor. "mfink81" wrote in message ... Hi Mike, that's great news!

microsoft windows vista games stopped working??
What I have found out yesterday 9/30/09 is that most people who start out with Vista have Service Pack 1. Then out of the blue (and I don't know exactly when) Service Pack 2 downloads and all games quit working when they worked before. This happened to me too. 1. I restored Vista and my computer to factory settings. 2. I installed all of Microsoft Updates (and I mean all of them) 3. Installed all of my software and games back on. 4. Games work again. I did end up with an error afterwards with Internet Explorer not opening at all after I did all of this. If this occurs, here is the solution.... 1. Open Internet Properties. 2. Click on the security tab. 3. Uncheck the box that says "enable protected mode" it will give you a warning about your computer not being protected, ignore it. The next steps will fix it anyway. 3. Go to the advanced tab. Click on the reset button at the bottom (not the restore). When the box opens check the box and click next. This restored my browser and I have not had any problems with games or browser since. Sorry about not wanting to reinstall. It seems to be the only way. -- shiannestorm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ shiannestorm's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/140345.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/windows-v...mes/717674.htm http://forums.techarena.in |
