He has turned his UAC off so I was told that should work. The games install
fine. He doesn't get an error, just can't click on any menu options in Jim
Kitchens Games, Top Speed 3 or River Raiders. He can play some games that
are ones that do not require an install but those that we have installed so
far, he can't go past the menu options because he cannot hit his enter key
with any results. The game just sits there..

Hi there.
The person who is having trouble starting those two games might try running
them as administrator. Hit the context key on the menu item that you would
normally press enter on to launch the game and arrow down to run as
administrator. Are they getting an error message?

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.
