Some programs won't work!

[DaYiM]

Hello everyone,
installed 64Bit version, after i had W.Vista 32Bit.
& now some programs won't work unless i do RESTART!
even if i closed the windows explorer & reopened it!!!!!!
Some other ( very few ) won't work unless i reinstall them.

Welcome

Take the compatibility test, we can discuss the ones that pass

Windows 7 Compatibility: Resources for PCs, Devices and Software Programs

 

[DaYiM]

most of them didn't show up in the searches, but the ones that did was compatible!

 

[richc46]

Pick one that is compaatible. Tell me name etc and exactly what happens.

Encyclopaedia Britannica 2010 Ultimate Edition, thankfully
this program only needs to restart to make it work again!

 

[richc46]

Its getting a bit late here. I will look at it tomorrow.In the mean time post your system specs.

 

[DaYiM]

that's it, & thanks for helping me.
PS: the rating is 5.5, that's my other language.

 

[richc46]

No, what we need are ram, cpu, etc. Download and give us the information that it gives you. On the top of the screen you will see user cp then on the left system specs.. Click on that.

Where is this "User CP" thing?

 

[richc46]

The user CP is at the top of the forum screen that you are in now.

 

[DaYiM]

Thanks & Done. Does it these info have effect on working programs?

 

[richc46]

The information can help me diagnose the problem. Lets make sure that it is not due to a memory problem. Download and use this.

Lets check for corruption

Go to search type cmd, then right click and run as administrastor. in the cmd prompt type sfc /scannow.

If that is ok. Next time you play the game and problems happen, go to search type event viewer and make a note of the errors.

 

[DaYiM]

i didn't know how to use Event Viewer for the purpose you mentioned!
one more thing, this program Free DVD Creator v2.0 just won't work
anymore; i reinstalled it, restart the laptop & tried to use Troubleshooting
Compatibility but it just won't start < i already used this program a few days ago.

 

[richc46]

OK follow the other advice, about the corruption.

 

[DaYiM]

Already did, then i post my previous my reply!

 

[richc46]

Make sure that your version of the game is using 64 bit drivers. You may have to download new drivers.

 

[DaYiM]

the problem i'am having is with programs not any game.

 

[richc46]

Of course you are right we were talking about programs. After answering so many posts it is easy to get confused. In any event, make sure that you have to most current updates for all the programs involved. Visit the Mfg website. You only have to do it for one, at this point, encyclopedia, as we are using that for our test.

 

[DaYiM]

all the programs i'am using is up to date. &
"encyclopedia, as we are using that for our test." What TEST?

 

[richc46]

The test to see what the problem is. If we can get that to work we can get them all to work.
