The computer could run windows 7, but its not worthwhile since its a rather older machine (2006). Plus with only 2gb of ram on it and a lot of older specs compared to computers nowadays, reinstalling windows was smart as it actually helped eliminate a lot of corrupt files that were also embedded into it. Plus I have older games that run flawless on the XP Thanks again for everyone's help.

So it is now working, it turns out that direct x was corrupted. So I had to unforunately had to reinstall windows and got a nice "fresh" start. Needless to say SC4 is working again. Thanks for your help.

Unfortunately nothing was found after a comprehensive virus/spyware check...after some more troubleshooting I have noticed this under the dxdiag diagnostic tool... Direct X features: DirectDraw Acceleration: Not Available Direct3D Acceleration: Not Available AGP Texture Acceleration: Not Available In addition to I cant change anything as these options are grayed out...and yes the weird thing is directx is installed

Alright thanks for your help so far...i'm in the process of running a virus check on the computer and will update asap. Yes it is still online although I will pull the plug on the online once everything is smooth sailing.

Hi thanks! It's funny how it was working a day before this issue happened. Actually everything was working (gta 3 windvd sc4) I've tried system restore but nothing happened. Anything else that might fix this problem without upgrading etc

Hey all, It's been awhile since I have been active here on Simtropolis, but nonetheless I have run into some issues that someone may help me. So I went to play GTA III (amongst other games/programs) on an XP machine and had a message popped up and said Grand Theft Auto III requires at least 12mb of video memory. I have searched around the internet and havent found much luck to solve this issue. It should note that I have adjusted the visual memory to both ends, and of course adjusted the screen resolution of no such luck. When I use the dxdiag, under the display the 3 directx features are "disabled" and can't change them. Also, when using windows media player and a couple of 3rd party dvd players that were pre installed on the computer (windvd), I can't play any videos but hear sound... Any help would be greatly appreciated! thanks, Mark

This is a tutorial that will show you step by step on how to make Roundabouts. Make sure you have the October 2005 NAM installed on your computer, which is conveniently located on the home page under the Modds and Downloads. Also be sure to click the plugins option after you extracted the NAM file to your computer. This will allow you to create the Roundabouts. First thing is first. Start up Sim City 4 Rush Hour. Step 1: Select street from the menu or push “alt R”. Now draw a strip of a street like the below picture. Step 2: Draw 3 more strips of streets just like in Step 1. Use the below picture for a guide. Step 3: Make any two strips you have just drawn into a “T” intersection like above. Make sure they are across from each other. Step 4: Connect the “T” strips to the strips of roads that have not been connected. Repeat on the opposite side. Step 5: And you are done. Feel free to place something in the middle of the Roundabout in to make it more appealing. You can also do the same with one-way streets. Just follow the same steps as above but use the one-way streets instead. Just draw a 3x3 circle of one-way roads like above and connect it with roads, streets or one-way roads. Feel free to place something in the middle of the Roundabout to make it more appealing. You can also make Roundabouts with roads as well. Just zone a 2x2 circle of roads and you can make the above Roundabout by having roads or other transportation options for more realism. I hope you have appreciated this tutorial on how to make Roundabouts for your “Sim Cities”. If you have any questions please private message me. Thank you

Hi all, I have run into a small problem with SC4 that hoping someone could help me. Basically I load a city and start playing. When I want to zoom in or out I use the 1 2 3 4 5 and 6 keys on the keyboard (not the calculator side). I have no issues with zoom 2-6 but when I hit the 1 key the game just crashes. I have attached he exception report to this message from the last crash moments ago. As i'm not sure if this will help anyone or not. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I do admit, zoom 1 I don't use as often but it would be nice for it work again and also it should be noted I havent had a problem like this before. Thanks, Mark SimCity Exception Report 2010.01.26 15.54.28.txt

As a long time Penguin fan, it's a disgrace to see Hossa leave for Detroit. At least some good news came today with Malkin signing for 5 years. Only if the Pens won the Stanley Cup...things probably would be a bit different. At least Sean Avery is with the Dallas Stars in the Western Conference

Hello n-m-2k8-yeah, you can find the Ilive reader tool here... I hope this helps. Cheers, MiniMark

it would be pretty cool to see another sweep for the Penguins! yet alome bringing the cup back to it's rightful place would be nice
