I have ran some new games in Windows 7 and luckily I am not facing any problem. You have not mentioned the game that is not working. Please mention the game so that we can check the compatibility of that game. Mostly the games working on Windows XP are running smoothly on Windows 7. Since the Windows 7 is Beta version of OS, there are some problems but they can be solved.

I have installed games like Counter-Strike, World of Warcraft, NFS - Carbon, etc. I am facing any issue though I am using Windows 7. Many times the settings are to be done in the game mode. Try to disable by unchecking the box located in preference option. After unchecking the game full screen you will able to play the games in full screen. It will surely work fine. According to me there is no issue in Windows 7 like the Windows Vista had.

Try to re-install Sims 3 again. The issue can be because Sims 3 was not installed properly. When I installed Windows Warfare 2 on my HP Compaq desktop I too had the same issue although I had the required graphical support of a nVidia 1 GB graphic card . I then re-installed the game and this worked for me. Make sure that the re-installation of Sims 3 is complete with no errors and delete the existing Sims 3 instance.

Try the GeForce 8800 512 MB nVidia graphic card . I am using this one currently and having no issues with any games yet. The reason for which your Sims 3 seems to be crashing might indeed be your graphic card. Install some other games which has similar requirements to Sims 3 and see if even that game is crashing. If it does I feel you need to install a compatible graphic card to support Sims 3 and other such games.

There are some issues on the Windows 7 whose built is before 7122. The latest built is 7122, in which majority of game issues has been solved. You can also change the compatibility mode of Windows XP on all games. It will also work properly with Windows 7. Even your screen problem can be resolved by this process. Also check the Game Requirement before installing it. Post the games that are not working.

As you said that it was working smoothly without stammering until you reinstalled it. So may be your bootable cd of XP would be having some problem. Have you tried it with some other operating system ? Or simple thing you can do is try some other cd of the same operating system as sometime these cd becomes corrupted or some features suddenly stops working like it was working before. This may happen some time because of pirated OS also.

I'm planning to install Windows 7 on my system. I wold like to know that which Microsoft games do i get in Windows 7 ? Does any body knows about it? Kindly provide me the correct information on the above issue. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have bought the download version of GTA4 from D2D. I initially got an error message to say that the game was not compatible with Windows 7 so used the compatability wizard which at least lets me start the installation process. The problems arrive when the windows installer asks for a disc change? This is the download version! The installer asks me to confirm the path to presumably disk 2. The path on the windows installer defaults to...

Rs. 16,000 asking price.

Probably the disc is not getting read properly. You need to clean the game disc. Make use of a disc-cleaning kit . Another way to clean the disc is use a lint-free-soft cloth of cotton to clean the silver portion gently. I would suggest you to get a disc cleaning solution to clean the disc. And then insert the disc again to install the game.
