Getting Games to run on Win7
« on: January 13, 2010, 08:11:41 am »
I recently got win7 and  am having problems running games. When I open up Saint Row 2 for example the game just shuts with a message saying ti has to close, is there anyway of fixing this?

Rather than having them directly force you to mine adamantine, I would suggest that they give you strange moods that require adamantine. "Dig out the adamantine or Urist here goes insane and dies" is suitably vicious.

(It occurs to me that you can probably get "Lovecraft" as the random name of your fortress. That's when you know you're screwed.)

I honestly dont see how you guys get these problems. I never had problems with vista and still think its better than xp. Pertaining to this thread how come you can't play saints row 2 when im playing morrowind completely fine.

Are you running as administrator?

And I don't just mean "using an admin account", I mean "right-clicking on the shortcut and telling it to run as administrator".
