Would one still have to install as administrator if the UAC has been
disabled or does that have anything to do with it? Sorry if that question
sounds stupid.

Hi,
It could be that those games were written in a language that isn't supported
by windows anymore such as Visual basic 6.
Some game companies have added vb6 libraries to their game installations
that fix that problem.
If you downloaded and installed Shades of Doom or Jim Kitchen's WinKit, then
you have those vb6 libraries and those games will work.
Another hint is to install the games as an administrator instead of just
install them.
When you installed the games did you choose install as administrator?
This choice is found by using the context menu key, which is to the right of
the space bar between the alt and control keys.

I am hoping that is all it is. He is trying that now. I was thinking it
might be something with direct x but he has windows 7, 64 bit so I am
guessing that he'd have a version that would work.

Sometimes I have had this problem. I would restart my PC and then things
would work. So I guess it refreshes the ram enough to play the games.

Hi Gamers,
A friend of mine is having a problem with a couple of games. We both have
installed the two games, River Raiders and Top Speed 3. I am able to use
the
games just fine. He, on the other hand, for some crazy reason, can't click
on a menu option to start the games or anything. Any idea why this is
happening to him. We both are running Windows 7, 64 bit machines. Like I
said, both games work perfectly for me, but he can't even get past the
main
menus on either game. Please, any help would be appreciated.
