Yes, like eperor supreme said you have to run it as an administrator, right click icon/properties/compatibility tab/check the option run as an administrator then apply and ok

yeah, downloaded the demo yesterday and the game settings are locked, I hated that and it's just 1 race for a 1 gb demo, Race driver grid Demo had at least 3 races, not being able to adjust the graphics options is not good, But I got to say that I like the feel of the game, the race was fun, not incredible but fun

PS. I take burnout takedown or revenge anytime.

maybe it's overheating with gta iv, what other games do you have installed?, you got a good pc, maybe it's a driver problem

take the side door of the case and play for a while and see if it happens again, at least this will rule out overheating.

are you running the game with all the updates?

or the single player and skirmish option

I was on the fence just like you i didn't wanted to upgrade to win 7 just for a game, Besides I love XP, for me it's one of the best OS there is, if you have a problem with it most of the time is very easy to fix

having said that, I wanted to play just cause 2, I read from some people that it was a great game so I wanted to play it, and decided to bite the bullet and buy win 7, so I did and you know what?, it's the best thing I ever did, this OS works great, granted I had to make a few adjustments but it's customized just the way I like it, so far zero problems with it, I still have XP on another PC but my main PC has win7

like other people have said i like the fact that it automatically recognizes your hardware and then prompt you to download the right drivers for it, the user interface is great (I never used win vista) so the interface is kind of strange for me but intuitive, the performance in GTA IV was better in 7 than it was in winXP

I thought it was going to suffer a frame rate hit with gta iv on win 7 but no, for me it works better on 7.

So I really recommend windows 7 man, try it.

PS. I never thought I would say that LoL.

Yeah, not much good so far. I was so disappointed with SupCom2. Supreme Commander is still one of my favourite RTS games, it's a real shame that GPG decided to dumb it down so much and completely ruin the economy, turning it into a spam-fest. CnC4 was also a minor disappointment, but I didn't really ever expect that to be good. If you can describe a game as "Kinda like DoW2 but not as good" then you've lost my interest completely. Hell, if describe as "Kinda like DoW2" then i'd probably lose interest.kieranb2000

im with you & cbrcatter, they dumbed down the game so the game could run ok on consoles what a shame, this game could have been great

You can look through this list of free portable games to see if there are any you like. Portable games run right off a flash drive and don't require installation on the computer.General_X

hey thanks man, i found the GL TRON game there and is a very simple but very good game, even better than the old arcade tron
