Hmm perhaps you guys can help me. Im not very PC savvy folks. But im learning. I recently purchased a new pc actually it was a gift =). In all honesty id have to say mabey 30% of all games out there i have tried work on vista. Mabey im doing something wrong. I realize vista hasnet been out as long as xp but im getting frustrated with the lack of games ican play. Many games like pirates port royal and just bout all the star wars games dont seem to work on vista. this is the specs of my pc...
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU
6420 @2.13 ghrz
ram: 4 gb
vista home premium 32 bit
Video: Nividia Geforce 8800 GTS (driver) 7.15.11.75
sound card : Creative SB X-FI
I have had alot of issues with vista and games. But i have found out if i take enough time i can figure most of them out. And be honest i dont really have te time or money to down grade to XP, and further more i dont think i should have too. So im trying to stick it out with vista.
I have been told that my 8800 video card is dx10 supported in which most games atm do not support dx10 but dx9 and i need to find a good driver that is compatible with my 8800 card. As i said before im not very pc orietned but im just going by what others say but if any of you have any ideas on how to help me please help.
And yes i amd running in administrator mode and have the compatibility box checked that was the first thing i figured out =)
thanks shane
