Yes, there should, Mary. I've been painting for 3 days and just haven't gotten around to it. But thanks for the reminder! I want to try to do an install on my 64-bit too - I just haven't had time.

I'm not sure what "cocked a snook" means either, but whatever it is, I like it!

Thanks for the welcome, Draclvr! Maybe I should mention that my computer is running Win 7 Professional in case that makes a difference as to how tolerant of older games the OS is.

Judy, I did have a problem with the audio after I installed Grim with the launcher. Looking at the game files, I didn't see the update so I added that, then took the extra step of making it compatible with Win98 (probably should have chosen Win95, but...). I see the game icon has the little shield that informs me I'm running it as Administrator. Windows did make a snarky comment afterward to the effect that the game wasn't compatible with 7 but it's working fine.

If you haven't played Grim before, you're in for a treat. Believe it or not, those odd looking characters become real to you and you hate for the game to end.

"cocked a snook"? Maybe I should know what that means since I'm running Win 7!"

Mary, If you'd like to try cocking a snook, put your thumb to your nose, waggle all your fingers at the object of your disdain and, for good measure, stick out your tongue. *g* When I was a kid, it was also known as the five-finger salute. That was (cough) a short while back.

Thanks again for the welcome, guys. I'm really glad to have found you.

Has anyone been able to play Still Life on Windows 7 64-bit? I get a black screen on start-up and nothing more. Playing in compatability mode does not help.

Hi, Bru27. I don't have this one, but maybe someone else has tried it.

I really need to get this thread updated with some of the entries above.

I have an HP Pavillion with 291 GB of free memory and Windows 7 that is about 6 months old. I can't get Mass Effect 2 to start. Not computer savvy at all. Tried stopping my virus protection. Nothing works. Tried to go on EA's website and everytime I go to their Customer Support page, my computer throws a fit, says there is a problem with the page and closes it.
Very frustrated.
Andrea

Hi Bru27, you can play Still Life in nt4 compatability mode.

Judith, is NT4 one of the options in the compatibility list?

Andrea, can you tell us what happens when you try to start Mass Effect 2?

Also, it would help to know a couple of things about your computer as Mass Effect 2 requires a dual core processor at 1.8 Ghtz as a minimum. What video card or chip do you have? There is a list of video cards/chips that will not support this game.

Thanks Judith, the game is running on NT4.

Great, Bru. I'll add it to the list.

Just finished playing Hardy Boys the hidden theft on win 7 64 bit. Plays perfect.

Tried last night to install Ghost Pirates of Vooju Island, but NO go.

Don't think it likes my win7 Pro 64-bit
Did all possible things to get it to work:

- Installed with Admin rights (also the shortcut after)
- Installed with and without AntiVirus etc.
- All Compatibilty settings.
- Latest (working) NVidia graphics driver.
- Changing Country settings (suggested in their forum)
- Downloaded and tried their alternativ Game Launcher (also suggested in their forum)

Guess I have to install on my XP unless someone here have a magic fix

I've added more games that run in Win 7 to my list on page 13 here.

You've been a busy girl, Becky! Misslilo, I'll add that as a no-go to the list.

Curiously, I had no problems installing Ghost Pirates of Vooju Island on Win 7, 64 bit, but I was working with a downloaded review copy.

I had no problems with Ghost Pirates on my Win 7 64 bit either, and I have the disk version. Sorry you've been having such trouble, misslilo.

I'll change the entry for this game then.

Wait wait - I got it to work too

Seems it doesn't like Stardocks Windows Blinds - as soon as I unloaded it, the game worked!!!

What in the heck is Stardocks Windows Blinds???

It's EyeCandy

From the link misslilo provided:



Err, why would someone want to mimic the look and feel of a different OS? (Just curious.)

Could be they have XP, but like the look of Vista and this is a way of getting it

Actually, there is a quite sizable community that loves to fiddle with the look and feel of their OS. WindowBlinds compared with a program like Samurize can give your desktop a complete makeover. I used to be pretty into it about 8 years ago, but no matter how hard you try, the people who originally designed the functionality of Windows seem to be better at it

Glad you got the game to work, misslilo!!

3-16 today. Age of Mythology installed smooth. Started playing the tutorial but really don't have the patience for this game. Maybe tomorrow. Played great, no quirks.
Game needs a product code that's on the cardboard disc thing.

Titan Quest installed great, all 5 discs however couldn't play because it needs virtual memory installed, whatever that means. A code is required that's on the back of the instruction manual.
