Yes, most of them will. Nearly all of the newer ones do. But, without the name of the game, we can't really tell you yes or no. -- Dustin Harper dharper@vistarip.com http://www.vistarip.com | Vista Resource & Information Page "daniel" <daniel@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:B07EFA2C-183B-4C58-AC5D-AF0F4FF651E9@microsoft.com... > Hy i dont know if this is the propr place to ask but?.Im a gamer and i was > wondering if most new pc games will work on vista.Any help would b kool > ty > -- > rock and roll |

"Most" games work with Vista. A few require that you install an update to the DX subsystem to add some 9c files. In a few cases, video drivers may need to be changed (updated), or video settings modified. Older games may require "compatability" settings to work.

It's possible your system isn't going to like BF2, but it'd probably at least run. Could be your monitor is having refresh rate issues. I know BF2 doesn't read your video card settings from what Windows Determines, instead it tries to figure out the right settings on it's own. You may have to search google for something like "BF2 refresh problems", or BF2 LCD monitor problems. Might try other monitors if you have any lying around. Geek Squad wasn't entirely off basis, another video card would fix the problem, like a good nVidia, but you should also be able to get the game to run with what you have now. Update drivers, try a different monitor, try a different video card if the previous two fail. -- -A. |
