Girish Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Have you tried running the game in compatibility mode? Try XP SP3 or Vista SP1/SP2 modes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YankeesPwnMets Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 (edited) What you linked to was Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP Mode, which is VM thing. You can't run games in VMs. What I'm talking about is this @Above: Win 7 Pro is a replacement for Vista Business. There is no Windows 7 Business Edited August 14, 2011 by YankeesPwnMets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no Windows 7 Business That is interesting about games not running on Virtual Machines, I haven't tried it. I have XP Mode and I can't even run Pinball smoothly. It's not an exaggeration. You can go ahead and try yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girish Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I have Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit on my laptop and it sure as hell supports compatibility modes, so I don't know what you guys are talking about (except YankeesPwnMets). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkey82 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 From what I read on the new *some* editions do NOT have the compatibility tab in the properties window. Not saying this is the case here, but keep in mind there are many OS editions out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
