If it is an older game made to run on XP it will need to be run in compatability mode.

Old card and PC might be over stressed with default settings on newer games.

If a newer game go into the settings for the game and select all the lowest settings available not the defaults and see if it will work. Then turn them up if needed one at a time.

You didn't post what game.

 

[plunkyroad]

nah man its a newer game..i was playing it fine on vista..ill send a link of site

From the looks of your specifications, your RAM is only 1GB? Unless that's false information, I'd advice you to max your RAM to 4GB.

 

[plunkyroad]

ya the mother board can only handle 2, 1gb sticks... pretty lame but ya. weird cause the game was playing fine in vista.

 

[Eblim]

I hope that's enough for you, because it sure wouldn't be enough for me.

IMPORTANT for Vista users: You need Administrator rights to install and run the game!

Minimum requirements

Operating system-Windows 2000/XP/Vista
Processor-Pentium4 1.6GHz
Memory-512 Mb
Graphics Card-GeForce4 MX440 64Mb
DirectX Version-DirectX 9.0c
Hard Drive Space-2GB or more
Optimum

Operating system-Windows 2000/XP/Vista
Processor-Pentium4 2.4GHz
Memory-1 Gb
Graphics Card-GeForce FX5200 128Mb
DirectX Version-DirectX 9.0cHard
Drive Space-3GB or more

You will have to run it as administrator as in Vista.

It does not state it is Win 7 compatible so....??? you will probably have to run it in compatibility mode. Right click download and select Compatability mode then select Vista or Vista32bit.

Your video card is not optimal but should meet minimal requirements with settings set properly.

Just some options to try.
Not sure which or if any will work.

lol not saying its enough, im saying its all i got. and i aint got money to go buy anything right atm. why im working with a comp like this...

 

[Hopalong X]

Your RAM is fine for the game.
Win 7 32bit works well with 2-3GB. 4GB is nice if you can afford it but I know how that is.$$$$

You picked the right version of Win7 to run with your PC.

I hope some of my suggestions will help.

hey hopalong u got an eaier way to contact u incase i got more questions..hate waiting for a response everytime >.<

 

[Eblim]

Are you talking about RAM? Because I'm sure you mean GB, rather than MB. Unless you were talking about caching and I missed that, ignore me. It may be enough for the game, but is enough really enough? RAM isn't too expensive. For a 1GB DDR2 stick is approximately $15 - $17.

 

[plunkyroad]

and what you mean right click download...theres no option to run in compatibility mode but there is a trouble shoot compatibility.

 

[plunkyroad]

and no eblim its ddr1 and its like 40$ a stick ive checked to get 1gb sticks cause there older.

 

[plunkyroad]

OH i think i found that compatibility thing ;P lol see if it works.
and another question on that how u check wat service pack you have?

 

[Eblim]

DDR? That's old school memory. How old is this computer?

 

[plunkyroad]

dude i told u its old school look up my specs, lmao... still runs like a champ most of the time >.>
