Games refuse to run properly with Win 7 PRO x64
Hi,
This is driving me insane. I have Win 7 Pro x64. Everything was running fine for months, then all the sudden several of my games won't run properly. When I double-click on the game icon, nothing happen. If I check the Task Manager, there's absolutely nothing in the APPLICATIONS tab. However, the execute file IS in the PROCESSES tab. It's just sitting there and doing nothing, barely using any RAM.
Games that are affected so far:
Diablo
Diablo 2 +expansion
Neverwinter 1 +expansions
Fallout 2 (GOG)
Warcraft 3+ +expansion
Some games that aren't affected:
Fallout 1 (GOG)
Fallout Tactics (GOG)
Heroine's Quest
Quest For Glory 2 VGA
Neverwinter Nights 2
SWKoTOR1
Torchlight
Stuff I tried:
With Diablo 2, if I run the game.exe instead of diablo2.exe, the game will run properly. Same with NWN1: nwnmain.exe instead of nwn.exe. However, running fallout2.exe instead of goglauncher.exe doesn't solve the problem.
Others:
Updated all drivers, no overclocking. Tried to disable and even uninstall AVAST, doesn't solve anything. Tried a System Restore to a week ago, doesn't solve anything.
Desperately need help. Thank you in advance.
