I also had that problem, go to windows help on your computer and search on compatibility program. Start the program compatibility wizard and follow the steps to installing the game. You may also have to run it under administrative mode for it to work. Hope this is what you needed.

Wired Xbox360 Controller- Worked then went to hell. by 1964
First, yeah I read the other posts. And the other posts on the other websites. And Microsoft. I asked them a lot. I'm getting no where in my search here. (Wired 360 Controller;2.66ghzQuadcore-4gbram-vistaUltimatex64-GeForce 8800GTS) I'm playing my game happily and my computer crashes. No big deal. I have a 8800gts and its a heat monster which tends to make it break arbitrarily. Problem...

Not able to download games sites by 1CanCee
When I try to download game sites, Vista stops me from doing so. It asked if I am connected to the internet which I am but I am not recognized for it. Sites like Big Fish or Real Arcade just do not load. They get stuck tracking saying downloading in progress and I let it run but it never completes the connection. Something stops it from completing the game site. I am using Vista Home...

Vista Games by 2bizzy
I recently installed Vista Home Premium. Suddenly all the provided games are totally missing. If I bring up the games folder from the start menu I get a search folder. I think this happened when I installed the update yesterday (3/28/07) but not sure. I tried doing a system restore before the install, to no avail. Anyone have a clue what happened?

lag with xbox360 games by 2hsbacardi
I use the Windows Media Center to watch TV on my computer and it works great, but since I have upgraded to Vista I have been having lag issues when I plug in my Xbox360 and try to play a game on my pc. For example, when I press a button there is a 2 second delay until that action takes place. Is there anyway to get rid of this besides pluggin my Xbox into a regular TV?

Troubles installing LIVE games halo2/shadowrun by 31137 MonsteR
Any one having this problem, i found only one fix, the problem seems to be with upgrading instead of clean installing vista. I did a clean install and no problem, games installed and LIVE ran with no problem. sucks but thats seems to be the only fix, clean install really is cleaner though, i recommend it, just clone your hard drive before you proceed.

CoD4 Profile Transferring by 5k4r5
I've been searching through forums trying to find a place to ask this, and I'm not sure if this is the right place. I just bought a new laptop with Vista Home Premium 64 bit on it, and I wanted to transfer my CoD4 files from my old XP desktop to my laptop. I've tried messing around with a flash drive and some files, but I kept getting an error saying, "Cannot read blah blah, resetting data." Does...

CHESS TITANS DOES NOT SAVE GAMES by 6
I have vista with chess titans. I can start and play games with no issues. If I ever try to close during a game and save, everything seems to act normal, but the games don't save. I get a prompt asking me if I'd like to save and I click yes. Upon reopening, I get a new game every time. I went to HP help and they tried to talk me into buying Norton Internet Security 2008. Pretty lame. ...
