Yes, this is the problem with many games that can run in Windows Xp but not in Windows 7.
If you want to run those games, you will have to install Windows Xp again. Changing compatibility can run some games but not all.

If the program is not compatible, then you may to try install and run program in compatibility mode.
Use the following steps:
1 Right click on the program
2 click on properties
3 Click on comp ability tab
4 Select run this program in comp ability mode and select windows 7 or whatever operating system the program was running successfully.

Right Dear,

Games installed in windows XP not supporting in windows 7 ultimate.

There are many games which are compatible for Windows XP but not for Windows 7

So you have to find for the Games which are compatible for Windows 7 and Download them

hi,

i think there is a problem with your graphics card,

it should be 256MB to play games in windows 7 because,

the windows7 will take the 128mb of graphics.............so you cant play games with that,

so purchase the higher graphics card or change your os to windowsxp.

then you can play easily.

Hello,

The games are designed t be compatible with the OS.

There may be a chance that the games which were designed for windows XP are not designed to be compatible with windows 7.

So the games which you could have played easily in windows XP may not be able to run on windows 7.

Hence they dont run on them.

But you can play there exciting games which are compatible with windows 7.

They have better graphics and better gameplay .

You will enjoy them.

-Regards

the solution to the problem is very simple dear.

see, as you have mentioned that you have installed windows 7 Ultimate over windows XP.
that means at the moment your PC has got two windows.
Windows XP which is installed in C drive.
and windows 7 which is installed in D drive.

you need to re-boot your PC and at the boot it will ask you to select a boot drive-
"Earlier version of Windows". OR "Windows 7".

Enter on Windows 7.
te windows 7 will be booted.
now ou need to again install the games that you have already installed in windows XP.
and after installing you can play the same games here as well.
and yes , before installing the game make sure that you install the video driver , audio driver and the land driver of your PC in windows 7 as well.
as some games need special requirements to run.


good luck
