Playing games on Dual Monitors? by Helpmeplease!!!!
Hi, I had a simple question that I just can't find the answer to. I have two monitors, a 32" LCD and a 19" CRT. I am running a dual monitor setup (extended desktop) and I want my primary to be the CRT and secondary the LCD. I know how to do that. However, what I wanted was to play my games in the LCD, but everytime I try I can't get them to play in the LCD. They always play in my CRT. The...

I'm sure this question has been asked before. However, is there a way to get older Windows 95, 98 and/or XP programs to run on a Vista computer? I can't even get them to load. John Sisker

Dungeon Keeper incompatible with Vista? by DarkMisstress
I am at the end of my tether! I go to install Dungeon Keeper or Dungeon Keeper Gold on my new Vista PC and it gets to the title screen with Horny and then closes into a blackbox at the top left of my screen, minimizes then closes. I am not the only one who cannot get it running on Vista either as you can see there are among hundreds of people with this...

FSX by Ted
My PC is Vista OS. I have FSX and the acceleration disc installed and it all runs very well. I'm pleased with the few branded add-ons that I have, especially the RealAir Spitfire. I'd like to get a particular helicopter on board a little French thing called an AƩrospatiale Gazelle. I can only find it in XP format. My question is, would it run normally if it was installed onto my Vista...

Flight Simulator 2004 by flynryan692
Hey there, so I was having problem before where FS would freeze and the sound would make a loop sort of sound. I remember doing a bunch of searching around and I found a way so that when I click the fs9.exe vista would switch the theme from aero to basic until I closed FS. That solved everything. Well I reformatted and I can't figure out how I did that nor can I find the link to how to do...

FSX won't load up after defragmentation by Blue4
I bought the boxed FSX Deluxe Edition and when I start the program right after I install it everything runs fine until startup of a flight. I set the settings to max after I ran a system test on my comp saying I could with the 8G of ram, Intel Quad Core and the Nvidia GT220, but it skipped so I figured it was because of FSX being 15Gb and alot of fragmented files. So I ran the defrag and...

Knights of the Old Republic 2 stops running... by Hydra
Hi, all. I have a problem starting KOTOR2 on Vista. There's a error message each time starting up that the program has stopped running and needs to close (I've managed to get past the first cutscene several times in the beginning before the error shows). The error has been reported, but no solutions. I know my computer isn't especially designed for gaming, but it still is able to run Halo CE...

Can I play Vista version of SpiderSolitaire on XP Pro? by alicorn2
I prefer the version of SpiderSolitaire that came with my Vista computer (version 6.0.6001.18000 of spidersolitaire.exe), and I'd like to copy it to my XP Pro computer (which currently has version 5.1.2600.5512 of spider.exe). The biggest problem is that my Vista computer is 64 bit and XP is only 32 bit. Is there any way to get the Vista version onto XP? Thanks!

Crysis problems. by Chuck[_2_]
This problem began to be noticed on vista, but the vista laptop was too slow to really get into crysis. Crashes such as this one occur on both. In additon, Crysis may also fail to menu, and be resumed with the resume game selection. This is a new win 7 system with a quad core AMD Phenom II at 3.2ghz, not overclocked, and a Diamond MM HD4890 video card also not overclocked. 4G OCX 1066 memory...
