Older games do not run Help please
Hi all, I need some help please. My old computer quit ( asus A8N-sli, AMD Athlon 64 2 core). The new one is a MSI H 110M Pro-VD board and Intel I5-6400 Skylake with 8 GB ram. Win 7 HP 64 bit. The games are COD 2, COD 4, Flight sim 2004, Battlefield 3. They all install using Admin privilege and Admin run. But nothing happens when trying to start. I have uninstalled the Windows KB3086255 CD security block update as well as the SEC DRV setting to disabled as per the Microsoft bulletin to allow CD start for Games. Nothing so far has worked. Been reading very much on internet but no luck. All these games played well on the old machine. What could be the single reason that causes this to happen? I believe there is a specific cause for all this to happen. The games that do run are Steam Tomb raider and Homeworld also non steam Farming sim 2013. The Grand Kids really liked COD 2 and 4 , just some sections of them. Is it the CPU or Motherboard or Win7? Any help would be appreciated. Regards Peter.
