Re: My Windows Vista won't play games

Video card & Drivers
The drivers may need to be updated (Usually ATI), or in a few cases,
backdated (sometimes Nvidia).

Sound drivers
Some sound chips/cards have windows included drivers that are not
complete or upto date. Usually, the Mfr, such as Realtec or Asus (ALC
1200) has better drivers.

DX modules
You may need to load the last DX 9c update from Microsoft.

The Game may need to be run in administrator, and with UAC turned off.
4Gig of RAM should be sufficient for virtually any game.

It may be necessary to change the game's video or audio options/settings
to get it to run properly. No mention was made in the thread of the
video card/chipset or sound card/chipset.

If the P/C is overclocked, this may have a bearing on your problem.
