Vista Home Premium Edition and Audition by Yuji_Shana
I'm using the Vista Home Premium Edition and I'm trying to run my Audition game application. After I install this application, it runs, then window pop-ups, asks me to allow or not, so normally, I choose allow, then after that, the application starts to run, then after a few seconds, exits. I dunno what's wrong, I used to have this application installed in my XP, and I've never encountered...

Vista SP1 + Games by Ver!tas[_2_]
So when I first bought my Gateway laptop it came with Vista premium, and sure it looked all nice and shinny, but once I tried to install my games and play them I got punched in the face by Microsoft. I got horrible frame rate with ALL my video games. Of course I researched if my games were compatible with Vista, and even came to these forums with my cries for help, but no-one seemed to be...

Gamepad doesn't keep Vista x64 from doing power save functions by S.SubZero
I have a Logitech USB gamepad which I use on my Vista x64 laptop. Games run fine, but Vista doesn't seem to count the gamepad towards the power management functions (ie. blank screen after 20 minutes) so after 20 minutes of only using the gamepad, my video blanks and I have to wake it up by nudging the mouse. At least one of my games isn't too friendly with this and it tends to have trouble...

Microsoft Train Simulator by Jimmy Rich
Have loaded program onto new PC running Vista Home Premium. The program begins to load but at approx 2/3 along the completion bar a direct X diagnostics application starts. The game stops loading and eventually shuts down on its own accord. The direct X diagnostics remains open and states that there are no problems. This happens on every occasion when trying to load.

why cant I get msn games to play?? by bonnie
I have been playing msn games bejeweled 2 for 6 months now. Just about a week ago when I go to play Bejeweled the screen comes up for it to start the countdown and then it stops at 0 seconds remaining without the game starting. What could be causing this? I am not sure but maybe it is an administrator setting somewhere that accidently got set wrong maybe??

Purble voices? by Grandma Barbara
Is there a way to enable the prompts/instructions to be voiced, rather than displayed in Purble Place? The kids who play these games (at least the ones that use my machine) can't read.

Hello, I'm writing here because I can't get directx 10 to run on any games I play. For example, Team Fortress 2.

My specs: I'm running Windows Vista home premium (32 bit), and dxdiag confirms DirectX 10 is installed. I have an Intel Core 2 6600, and 4 gigs of ram. The video...

Adding aircraft to FSX results in generic appearance - no graphics by MBO[_2_]
I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong here. This is in reference to the Dash 8, which my great young nephew flies for Horizon. I am trying to download the Dash 8 and use the Horizon graphics, but all I get is what looks like a grey, very generic appearing aircraft. I'd appreciate any advice someone has as to how I could remedy this if possible. I'm using FSX with SP1. thanks for your help.
