  3. SimCity4 Deluxe and Windows 8

    Yes the SC4Deluxe work out a problem, just be sure to save the game on regular base, after a few hours and windows want to do something it will shut the game. The reason I know this is because I am run windows 8 in 64 bit
  4. Game not loading after install

    Do not use the app to run the game Run the game of the icon on the desktop Most of the 32 bit software require to be launch from a icon As you have run the compatibility mode over the software you may of made a few more problem for yourself
  5. Does Sim City 4 work on Windows 8?

    Yes simcity work find if you run the game of a desktop icon, if you run the game of the app the windows 8 make for simcity after a few hours it will crash to desktop Vista and windows were both upgrades of windows xp, but were down grades of windows 8 as the both had small part of windows 8, microsoft do sometimes to test their new os. Windows 95 was down grade of windows 98

  7. A Week from hell

    The better half killed two laptops and third computers in less than an hour , the age of the hard drives do not help upwards of ten years. All information can not be recovered I had one of my computer looking at all ways we use to recover information, all personal information was backup off site. Losted: all sim plugins, a couple of sim mod I was working on . To cut a long story off at the knee, window 8 does not use Documents and Setting as part of C: drive, for that matter it use my Documents. Which sim city can't find; what I am looking for is a program the can turn map.bmp file into a region file outside of the game If you find 5 million sim looking for a home send them my way
  8. help help Water & More Water

    This what I was give to play with, I don't what to hours looking all over the internet or years making the transport system work, I am looking for any thing the makes building bridge a great deal easier for all forms of trandports (Eg: roads, street. highways, avenues, railway) The body of water does not always run in a straight line to the land mass With what I have complete to this stage I don't think one highway runs in a straight state to state
  9. A Week from hell

    What we are looking at is program that run on all windows os 32-bit and 64-bit does not need any other item to run than itself I have all the information I could find about these two programs off to the copyright area in a Australia
  10. help help Water & More Water

    You can go to the top of the class Yes this about bridges I did put in my native Australia I don't want to spend hours looking a bat or mod the can make bridge for all form of transport (Eg: rooads, street. highways, avenues, railway) When one was not written Let draw some pictures This has freeway in the bottom left corner that should be link in to the one in top left corner with all the items I have there is no way you can make the bridge to cross the body of water

  12. Creative Destruction

    AS this post state play with the base code is not going to happen unless you wish to pay all the legal cost
  13. A Week from hell

    The problem is windows 8 has drop a great of the items that run up to windows 7. or put it this way all versions of windows up to windows 8 where eyecandy for windows xp. windows 7 is close to how windows 8 looks, under the surface windows 7 has agreat deal of the code from windows xp We done the the code for these two programs we just need permisson or a release date.
  14. CTD on Windows 8

    It's more of an emulation issue, Microsoft just does not include the 16WOW32 environment in 64-Bit installations. I read somewhere that it does work if the necessary files are copied from XP, but never tried it myself. If all else fails, I used to use a VMware Virtual Machine with Windows 98 SE installed on it to play my old Windows games on. Direct3D support was generally crap though and a lot of stuff just didn't work. Welcome to windows 8 Now said good bye to windows Virtual Machine files which could run any version of windows
  15. A Week from hell

    I will see if we can contact the original programer before we look at total rewitting these two programs, they would work under os the could run any version of windows
  16. A Week from hell

    I spoke to the the programer this afternoon, the first item that I need is the contact details of the person or persons you wrote them. I need permission to to make change and re-post them, or it may be quicker to completely re-right these two program in C and CC++ to run more stable in all version of windows. This link is for the digtal copylaws that I have work within: http://www.ladas.com/BULLETINS/2002/0202Bulletin/AustraliaDigitalCopyLaw.html
  17. A Week from hell

    Only if that was so easy just running these programs in Xp compatibility mode, windows pro 8 running everything off apps and the upgrade in the graphic is second to none. Windows 8 pro is also the dead nail for the virtual mode that was great for running a virtual Xp windows os. At this stage I have not be able to have these two programs ( SC4 Mapper or SC4 Terraformer) to run, so I have hand them over to one of my computer programs to take them down to code and work out if they can be brought up to run on w8. We you own the company you can have your staff work on any task
  18. You should look at what the main task of the pc is going to be, everyone is running any computer windows 7 pro,is the last os that you will be able to run a virtual os for windows xp Windows 8 every items work off apps finding the desk top can be hard until you work out which app take to the desk top, compatibility of most program is a problem. Like all microsoft programs they will be writting update until they cowes come home. Microsoft work on the rule is it stable yes release now, we can always release update down the track ib a week windows has had 756mb of update installed
  19. A Week from hell

Thank guys I work this problem out, by make a directory inside the the C: Drive structure Moving on to the next windows 8 problem Trying to have these two programs run as the should SC4 Mapper or SC4 Terraformer
  20. A Week from hell

    I will put way sim city software was written for windows xp, when Documents and Setting where every was list under C: Drive. Windows 8 does not have Documents and Setting listed on C: Drive. the use is listed in another area of the file windows. Window 8 is the OS and config everything to work the it want them to work, in short the is no file called Documents and Setting listed on C:drive

    Get the game is try to get the software to fine the files to bring bmp file into the game
  22. only drawing base layer

    Have you heard of an item called virtual memory Yes/No ? What virtual memory does runs away with part of your hard drive and makes a page file, which all version of windows use first this can be anything that windows thinks that it going to need when windows installs from 1gb- 3.5 gb. All windows os only install around 3% of the hard drive as it virtual memory; Let look at how windows os thinks : 1 Hard drive is 500gb x 3% = 1.5gb 2 Hard drive is 250gb x 3% = 0.75gb 3 Hard drive is 120gb x 3% = 0.36gb 4 Hard drive is 2tb x 3% = 6.0gb Are you still with or you how have no idea what the hell I am talking about, windows reader the virtual memory before it read any ram ; so let at what is run under the surface of windows. Windows 7 is all eye candy on top windows 98 is all the base files. as they said when your on a thing stick to it. If you know how to change the virtual memory of windows 7 or have change the virtual memory of windows os, then set the top area 8gb and the bottom 8.5 gb hit apply So this what the area should look like : 8000 8500 If you have never played with the virtual memory then you need to have some do this for you, this is one of the main area that make windows run. You may of heard of item called page file, this the virtual memory, all version of windows run any that is on the hard drive in virtual memory. Looking the virtual memory of 3.5gb items running : given windows 7 0.75 gb : given simcity 0.5 gb : given plugin 2.0 gb : plus any program background running ????? Total 3.25 gb When windows has to load part of the hard drive up into ram the redraw is a lot slower, which looks to be your problem I have virtual memory of :10 gb :16 gb ram drive :16 gb of ram Total : 42 gb I am running windows 8 which give up to 10 gb to use for virtual memory. How are you total lost
  23. Can't find it?... Ask here!

    Perhaps you're thinking of the CSX WFK Sets: PHW CSSG Malta CSXCON Each style comes with various lots designed to fit into it. Or maybe the BSC WFK Parks set. How did you know that I was looking for all these walls
