Problem i was wondering if my windows xp is the problem.. i try to run gears of war.. and the program will stop right away.. can anybody help me with my problem..

Does the CDs have scratches? Or is it that the cd does not install on windows 7 ? If this is the case go to explore, to the Cd drive (the Game)
look for the setup file or install file (.exe) right click on the file with you mouse, go to properties, click on the tab 'Compatibility, click on run the program, select windows XP and the buttom run program as administrator. i hope this helps

Well, try this, we call this "compatibility" mode, most programs can be run on windows 7 with this trick.
I assume your Cossacks II Napoleonic Wars icon is on the Desktop,
Right-click the Icon (game's icon), select "Properties" and click "Compatibility" tab, select "Run this program in compatibility mode for" click the "Windows 95..." and select "Windows Xp (Service pack 2)", click "Apply" > "Ok" and try again.

If even after doing this, the game can't be played, then there's no option. The fact is that, this game is made to run on system with Windows xp and earlier version, but somehow if fortunate, it's possible, not will all software, some may work, some may not.

Good luck.

Thanks for using FixYa.

It is not impossible.

*install patch V1.06
*close all other programs running on the backround
*run the game with with administrator account or with administrator rights
*run the game exe with Windows XP compatibility mode (if you are running Vista/Win7)
*There are a lot of reports that this game will not like more than 3GB of RAM
limit RAM size to 2GB by editing Win XP (boot.ini) or Vista/Win7 (bcdedit) or by removing some memory sticks

THIS IS THE FIX for Act of War and High-Treason

look no further, here is the solution for the memory and video memory crash. You need to go to your game location:
1- For steam users its Program Files (x86) >> Steam >> steamapps >> common >> Act of War High treason (else its the normal Program Files (x86) >> Atari >> Act of War High treason and right click on ActofWar_HighTreason.exe and put the compatibility mode on one of the Vista.

2- Downloadhttp://cns-spb.ru/d3d9.zipand put that .dll file in same location. Remmember to store this file for later use, since we dont know how long the link will be up and spread the massage since there are many who has trubble running this game.


Works at least on W7 Ultimate x64 sp1

Hello.

Right click the game shortcut (or program) before you run it, then click run program as Administrator, or go to properties and check a box to run this program as Administrator.

Hope that Helps.

Hi,
Although the game wasn't designed to run on Vista, it still can! Here are some instructions to help you. This might help very well.

1. Install LEGO Star Wars.

2. When it's installed, right click on the LEGO Star Wars icon.

3. Click Properties.

4. Click the Compatibility tab.

5. Tick the box saying Run this program in compatibility mode for...

6. Click the drop-down menu under the sentence and click Windows XP (Service Pack 2)

7. Click Apply then OK.

8. Right click on the LEGO Star Wars icon again and click Run as an administrator.

NOTE: If you are using a Standard User Account, then you will need an administrator's password to play. After the password has been put in, the game should start after a few seconds.

Hope this Helped!

DirectX
Microsoft DirectX 9.0c (April 2006 Edition) is included on this CD. You will be prompted to install DirectX during the installation of this game if this or a more recent version is not already properly installed on your system.
NOTE: DirectX may require the "latest" updates for your operating system. This may also include the latest drivers for your motherboard, sound, and video hardware.

Installation: Installation requires 3.5 GB of free hard drive space. We recommend that you have an additional 500 MB of free space available after installing the game for the Windows swap/page file.

You must have local Administrator rights to properly install LEGO Star Wars II and update Dire


No other programs should be running in the background.
System resources should be at least 85% free.

To check this:
Press CTRL-ALT-DEL once, choose Task Manager, choose the Performance tab, and check CPU Usage.
There should be at least 500 MB of free hard disk space after installation.

If you experience performance issues when running LEGO Star Wars II, we recommend that adjust the following options in the Video Options menu:

Lower the video resolution.
Set Antialias to Off
If this option is set to Antialias from Control Panel, you will need to set your Antialiasing Setting to Application-Controlled in the Windows Display Properties for your specific graphics card.
Disable Bloom Effect.

Please close all other programs before running LEGO Star Wars II. This includes virus-scanning, word processing, and Internet programs. Simply disabling these programs will not always help, as the programs still use resources that are needed to run LEGO Star Wars II. If you experience problems completely closing programs that are running, consult the documentation for those individual programs. This is a common problem when trying to completely disable virus-scanning software.

u check u r ram and processor if u r processor is slow then u will not get a high quality game playing in u r pc..

YES Vista is the problem. It won't run many older programs for Windows 95, 98, 2000, NT and so on. If you want something that does go to www.mindblowingidea.com/Ultumix and install that instead.
