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. Does your computer have the latest drivers, particularly video and sound? -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] http://www3.telus.net/dandemar http://www.dts-l.org "ullull" wrote in message news  Plz someone help me, some of my games will work but others wont.

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