Games won't start on Windows 7 Pro. The game does not start, errors when starting games

We figure out why the games on your page in classmates do not start

(UPDATED ON SEPTEMBER 20, IF THE GAMES DO NOT LAUNCH, JUST INSTALL THE GOOGLE CHROME BROWSER IN IT, THE FLASH PLAYER WILL UPDATE ITSELF)

Friends, it is important to understand that most often with computer problems, including solving the question - why the game does not start in classmates, you will have to do it yourself. Help is usually nowhere to be found, so be patient and follow the tips below.

Something should definitely shed light on your situation, moreover, we understand that not everyone finds it easy to navigate personal computers (PCs) and their programs, but still, every step taken on a PC on your own will increase your level of knowledge. And then you will certainly come close to the moment when most of the problems and questions at the computer will be solved by yourself.

But this will not happen if you yourself do not try to do something. Finally, let's get started. Here we have presented the most common reasons why games in classmates may not start.

The game does not load in Odnoklassniki: there is a solution

Before checking the suggested methods below, you can try to understand the most basic - problem on the computer or in classmates? Here's how it's done:

  • Go to your page through another "computer" it is desirable in another place, so that the output is on a different modem, if games in classmates are launched in another place, then proceed to the application of the methods described below, because the matter is in your PC

If the game in classmates does not load, then try the methods below

  1. Refresh browser
  2. Update the flash player (or just install Google Chrome, the flash player updates itself in it, and games do not start in classmates most often due to an outdated flash player)
  3. old Internet Explorer
  4. Windows XP (deprecated)
  5. Check the year on the watch (especially if a window pops up - the safety certificate does not fit)
  6. Change browser
  7. Viruses, including in the browser
  8. Clear cache with Ctrl+f5
  9. Add to exceptions in Firewall settings

Refresh browser

Usually everyone uses 3 main Internet browsers - this is Opera, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox , Yandex, Internet Explorer. This is the one you are most likely to use. Very often, updates are released to them, without installing which, some functions, including games, may not work. So the first thing to do is update it.

Update flash player

The second step is, of course, to update Flash Player (or uninstall Flash Player first and then reinstall if errors occur during the update process). It is on it that many browser games work, including those in classmates. But this does not apply to Google Chrome because it is updated automatically there.

This is not difficult to do, just write download in any search engine Flash Player, immediately, most likely on the first line, go to the official website and update it, more about this here.

Flies out? Not saved?

Do not rush to scold the developers of the game, read our launch tips first.

Before opening the original packaging of the disc (and the licensed discs that we sell are ALWAYS sold only in the original packaging), you should make sure that your computer meets the system requirements of the game (written on reverse side game boxes). If you find that the requirements of the game are higher than those of your computer, you should not unpack the game. As long as the original packaging is preserved, the goods, in accordance with Article 25 of the Law “On Protection of Consumer Rights”, can be exchanged for a similar one at the place of purchase. but the game did not start - well, we can only sympathize with you. Risk, of course, is a noble cause, but it was your risk and its adverse consequences in this case are entirely up to you. Apparently, only installing more powerful components on your computer will help solve the problem in such a situation.

1. Installing the game.

This part of the article is devoted to if you do not install the game from the disc.
The first thing the game starts with, after buying it, delivering it home and unpacking it, is installing it on your computer. Normally it should go like this:

Insert the disc into your computer's DVD(CD)-ROM. Wait 10 - 15 seconds. A menu should appear on the screen asking you to install, run or uninstall the game. It's called the autoplay window.
Select the installation and follow the instructions on the screen.

If the game is not installed from the disk, then possible errors at this stage:
- After inserting a disc, nothing happens.
- After inserting a disc, some error occurs.
- Some error occurs during installation.

In this case, check the following:
- Your computer may have autorun turned off.
Click on the "Computer" icon in the start menu and open the contents of the disk. Find the autorun.exe or setup.exe file and run it.

Check that the disc is inserted correctly, the disc should be inserted face up.

To make sure that the disc is defective, or, conversely, everything is in order with it, and the problem is in the CD-ROM, it makes sense to install the game on another computer.

If you have an antivirus, disable it.

Make sure the game CD is not damaged, dirty or scratched.
Remove the CD from the drive. Wipe it with a piece soft tissue and reinsert into the drive. In case of heavy soiling, the surface of the disc can be washed with warm soapy water, then rinsed. clean water and dry without wiping to avoid scratches.

2. Launch the game.

The second stage after installing the game on your computer is its launch. Launching a game is what happens after you click on the game's icon on the desktop, in the main menu, or from the autorun disc. Usually, in this case, the game itself starts, but not always everything goes so smoothly...

Possible mistakes:

Disk check errors.

The first error you may encounter is the disk check.
If you get errors: "Original Disc could not be found or authenticated", "Emulation detected error", "Wrong disc inserted" or "General protection fault" and the OK button, then most likely the disk is protected by the SecuROM system.

If errors appear: "The disk is not identified, please insert a licensed disk", "Attempt to use emulating programs detected" - then most likely the disk is protected by the StarForce system.

The usual solution to such problems is to disable anti-virus programs, remove disk emulation programs ( Daemon tools, Alcohol 120%). Be sure to check if the game disc is inserted into the DVD-ROM. For the StarForce protection system, sometimes it helps to install driver updates - http://www.star-force.com/support/sfdrvup.zip

Errors at startup or during the game.

If the game is installed on your computer, then everything is in order with the disk.
If the game was not installed from the disc or errors occurred at startup and during the game, then this is always associated with the configuration and settings of the computer.

First of all, you need to make sure that your computer meets the system requirements of the game (written on the back of the game box). Information about the configuration of your computer can be obtained using the DxDiag utility.

Select the menu Start / Start (1) (on Windows Vista / 7 by pressing the keys Win + R) item Run / Run (2) and write the name of the program in the window that opens: dxdiag (3) -> Ok.
In the window that appears, in the tabs "System", "Display" and "Sound" you can get all the necessary information about the computer.


1. The "System" tab contains information about what processor you have (1), how much RAM (2), and what version of DirectX is installed (3).


Processor: If you have AMD x2 install AMD Dual-Core Optimizer http://support.amd.com/us/Processor_TechDownloads/DCO_1.1.4.zip
DirectX: The version of DirectX must match the operating system: DirectX 10/11 will only work on Windows Vista and Windows 7 and will not work on Windows XP. To remove DirectX 10/11 from Windows XP, you can use the DirectX Eradictor program. You can update DirectX of any version from the Microsoft website


2. On the "Display" tab - information about the video card (1), video memory (2) and installed drivers (3).

What you should pay attention to:
Driver version and date: Drivers need to be updated quite often (new releases are usually released several times a year).
There are two main families of video cards:
GeForce manufactured by NVidia, drivers for which can be found here: http://www.nvidia.ru/page/drivers.html
Radeon manufactured by ATI (AMD), drivers for which can be found here: http://www.ati.com/support/driver.html
All other video chips, including those manufactured by SiS, S3, Matrox, VIA and even Intel, as a rule, are not suitable for modern games (It's about specifically about chip manufacturers, so if your box says ASUS, MSI, Sapphire, Gigabyte, Palit, Chaintech, etc. - don't be alarmed, this is the name of the vendor, not the chip manufacturer).


3. On the "Sound" tab, you can find out the name of the sound card (1) and the release date of the driver (2).

Sound card drivers also need to be updated regularly.
If you experience problems with sound, especially on the built-in sound cards ah, lowering the hardware audio acceleration level (3) in DxDiag usually helps - to do this, move the hardware acceleration slider to the left.
Links to drivers for the most popular sound card manufacturers:

Realtek: http://www.realtek.com.tw/default.aspx

Other common errors at startup and during the game.

Please note that the game must be fully updated and installed in a directory without Russian letters!
Installation path example:
Wrong example: D:\Games\Steam
Correct example: D:\Games\Steam

Antiviruses:

Normal launch of the game (as well as correct installation games) can interfere antivirus programs, which block unfamiliar processes for them. Disable antivirus software. This can usually be done by clicking on the program icon in the lower right corner of the screen, next to the clock.

Windows Vista/Windows 7:

If you have Windows Vista / Windows 7, the "Run as administrator" item can help you, which temporarily disables the internal Windows protection for the selected program. Just right-click on the shortcut to the game, and select this item.

If, following the above advice, you still cannot install the game from the disc and you have not achieved the desired result, please contact us at: 60, Mira Ave., Mag. "Metro", department of computers and games "TeleKit". It seems that our highly qualified specialists will still be able to cope with your problem ...

Doesn't start program? Games not running? popping up windows with errors? Other problems? Do not despair, now I will help you!

The fact is that most likely some necessary components are not installed on your system. They are used in their work by many programs. Most users are unaware of their absence. But in 90% of cases, their installation removes all issues. So let's look at them in detail and in pictures.

In the archive below you will find most of these necessary components. But if you do not trust me, you can follow the links to the official sites yourself (I will indicate them) and download them from there. It will take, of course, much more time. Yes, and to navigate there, sometimes not easy. In general, it's up to you where to get them from. I can only guarantee the absence of viruses and the cleanliness of the archive.

So, step by step, why doesn't it work run some programs...

Here is an archive with components that solve the problem of programs that do not start ( 48 MB)…

Now let's consider them in order of importance. The first will be Microsoft. NET Framework . This is such a special platform for program creators. Programmers write beautiful and useful programs, like hours on the desktop, and you do not have this component on your computer, of course it and does not start.

This is the official page Microsoft .NET Framework . There you will find a web installer that, when run on your computer, will connect to its server and download the platform. It's about 50 MB. In my archive it looks like this...


Click on it...

And if such a window appears, then this component is already in the system. Just in case (suddenly it is damaged), click "Next". Elements lost by mistake will be restored. And in case of complete absence in the system, it will be downloaded and installed. Follow the windows that appear.

Also exists and autonomous Microsoft Installer.NET Framework 4. This is if you need to install on a computer without the Internet. (Remember your friends!)

Next comes the package Microsoft Visual C++ 2010(x86). It is needed for the correct and complete understanding of this programming language by your computer. Official page of Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 (x86) package. And this is what it looks like in the archive...

And again the same story. Well, do not reinstall the system for me, if everything is up to date and without problems, to show you the installation. It is no more difficult than installing any program to do. I think you'll figure it out.

Executable Library Microsoft DirectX® for the end user will update the current version DirectX- built-in Windows® technology that allows you to run high-speed multimedia and games on your computer. Needed first gamers (gamers), certainly. In the absence of these libraries, some games do not start. A window appears with an error about the absence of a .dll file. Familiar?

The principle is the same. We click on the file - the presence of libraries in your system is analyzed and the missing elements are loaded.

And again 25! Usually a window appears with the amount of MB of loading. Reload. In any case (even if you are not a player), the system needs them. You can periodically (every couple of months) run this installer. Libraries are updated frequently, keep that in mind. And yes, here page DirectX .

If you have sound or picture problems ( video player does not show movies), then installing the latter will help you, up-to-date codec pack K-Lite Mega Codec Pack. This issue has already been discussed in detail and in pictures on the pages of this site.

That's official codec pack page. Actually everything is in English. When installing, choose the seventh option - it is the most optimal for most.

The following two additional system components will not help you if the program does not start. (Although there are exceptions!) They are more important for displaying the content of sites. Everything jumping and jumping on the pages of the Internet in browsers.

Adobe Flash Player. Of course, there is in the archive the most fresh version. But here is Homepage his.

Check the box and install. Pay attention - with open, any Adobe browser Flash Player won't install (Close them and installation will continue.)

Instruction

Make sure that system requirements, indicated on the cover of the disc with the game correspond to yours. Often the reason that the game does not start is outdated version operating system, old or missing drivers for the video card and sound card. Be sure to update the DirectX and Microsoft Visual C++ libraries. Defragment the disk, check it for viruses and any failures using the utility software Windows software.

Find the “Readme” file on the installation disk with the game and study it carefully. It often contains information about possible problems that may occur during installation and startup. Also, in the folders on the installation disk, there may be special updated versions of system drivers that need to be installed if the game does not start or stops starting.

Remember if you yourself set the game settings in the dialog box when you started it. If you set them too high or inappropriate for your hardware configuration, this may cause installed game does not start. In this case, try resetting the settings and set them correctly or reinstall the game if they are available.

Think about what Lately you have installed applications other than the game. Pay Special attention on antiviruses and various system optimizers: they can in every way affect the performance of games and other applications. If you experience something like this, remove or disable all extra programs, which in this moment work in background.

Run the game in compatibility mode for other versions of operating systems. Sometimes this method works, especially if old games do not start. To do this, right-click on the application icon, select the "Compatibility Mode" tab and alternately set suitable parameters by launching the game and testing it for performance.

Search the Internet for any relevant information that will help you solve the problem of starting the game. Use search engines, forums, developer site. On the latter, so-called patches or updates for the game can often be released, improving its performance and problem solving with launch.

Pay attention to the cover installation disk. It must have an order telephone number or e-mail to contact Russian-speaking support. Contact the support center and explain your problem. Experts will tell you how to fix it, or they will recommend returning the disk.

Contact the store where you purchased the game, providing a warranty receipt, as well as a game disc (it should not be scratched or stained). Explain that your game does not start, and ask for a refund for the purchase or exchange this disc another. Sellers will check the game for performance and make an appropriate decision.

For many people, the computer is a means of entertainment, where you can download many games and enjoy them for hours.

But sometimes problems appear, games simply do not work, which can be due to various reasons. Some of them can be easily eliminated, as described in this article.

Why won't games run on Windows 7? If you have this installed operating system, first of all look .

Usually, required version This utility is distributed along with the game, but if it is not there, you will have to download it from the official site. But this is not the only thing that can interfere with the game.

Reasons why the game does not start

In fact, there are hundreds of different reasons why games don't work. We will look at the most popular ones, and also show you how to fix it:

1. Compatibility. Many users faced this problem when Windows 7 just came out. Now almost all games are optimized for this OS, but you still have to face problems.

The easiest way to solve it is just start the game in a special mode. To do this, you must first open the properties of the icon that launches it:

There is a tab in properties. Compatibility”, where you can select one of the modes and try to start the game:

Try different variants, if the game is old, then it is better to choose Windows XP. The method is simple but effective.

2. Run as administrator. It also happens that the game does not want to start due to lack of rights to use it. As a rule, this problem appears when using multiple accounts on a PC. Solving it is even easier:

Just right click on the icon and select run as administrator. If this does not help, see other reasons.

3. Prohibition on editing system folders and registry. Each game creates additional folders and make changes to the registry. If it was not installed with account administrator, then a ban on editing system files may be set.

To solve this problem, you will have to reinstall the game, but when you run the installer, also select "As administrator":

Open the game disc or downloaded folder, find Setup.exe, and as shown in the image, run the file correctly.

4. Additional software. It is possible that the game does not start because you have not installed various utilities necessary for its operation on a PC. It can be anything, including drivers.

Outdated software often causes not only a failure to launch, but also brakes in the game. The simplest solution is to use
