all games sudden stop

[zerothenone]

i downloaded all your games for windows vista and most of the time they suddenly stop says "windows checking for solution" and nothing comes up then a little pop up comes up saying something about DEP tried to fix it but no cigar suggestions?

An option that sometimes fixes the problem is to disable DEP entirely. http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-ti ... ows-vista/

The issue is also related to some outdated ATI/AMD graphics drivers. If you have an ATI/AMD card and you haven't updated your graphics drivers for a while, I suggest you do so. Download at http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx (If you're unsure which graphics card you have, just use "Automatically detect and install")

You should post system specifications then. Guide is here: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=26

(Assuming you have a Dell Latitude D630)
I guess the thing to try would be to try updating your display drivers. Head to http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect/ and install updates if they are suggested. If nothing is suggested, try getting the latest from Dell at http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/ ... 2731103352

After installing those, a system restart wouldn't really be needed, but I suggest you do it regardless just to be sure.


If that doesn't help, try downloading and installing https://love2d.org/builds/love-20120828 ... efault.exe , then downloading the "Source" package from the Mari0 download page.

actually none of these worked

[Sašo]

Could you clarify? Do the drivers not work or are there no changes?

Also, after checking, your GPU only supports OpenGL up to 1.5, which could be the problem.

I guess it's the problem with Windows Vista and that's why Microsoft themselves admitted that there are some problems with their Windows. Many of my games had the same problem and i wasn't able to find a satisfying solution till the end.

no, though Vista sucks it's a hardware problem according to Saso
