Solve : Windows 7 64 bit? |
|
Answer» Can you change a windows 7 64 bit computer into a windows xp 32 bit computer? I have bought a new HP computer with Windows 7 Premium to help my games play faster, however only about a 3rd of my games will play on it. What I would like to do is turn this new computer into a windows xp pro 32 bit system computer. would anyone have any suggestions I can try to accomplish this?Windows 7 ships with both 32 and 64bit versions....switch to 32 bit 7 instead... however only about a 3rd of my games will play on it. Which games? I've yet to encounter a game that outright refuses to play on Windows VISTA or 7 X64, but some of them just need a little "coaching".

Same here, I keep going back to the first Age of Empires and it used to keep crashing. After a little research i found out that if i changed the theme to windows default and kept the screen resolution box open, it doesn't crash. I do not know why, but it works, it has not crashed since.

Although your's seems to be a special case, so I don't know if that would work. for me neither the first, it's expansion, nor the second or it's expansion outright crashes, but unless I terminate explorer it has transparency issues. The only game that's seriously put up a fight to GET working was Need For Speed III and High Stakes; they sorta-kinda worked but had pretty terrible generic software rasterization. Thankfully there are user/fan-created packs that fix vista and windows 7 issues (specifically those related to the hardware renderer setup) that fixed it. I still hardly play it though. I guess I like the challenge, Thank BC, gonna try that now! i'll let you know how i get on! Quote from: BC_Programmer on December 22, 2010, 09:21:51 AM Which games?
