Hi,

I've got a bunch of ripped games (Hitman 2, GTA Vice City, 007 Nightfire, GTA 3) but when I start them my screen minimizez and they just wont start. I keep trying to maximize the screen but it just drops again everytime. I've tried the compatibilty thing (I'm running XP) and turned off my antivirus but it still happens everytime wuth every game. Can anyone help?

Thanks,

You don't just hit .exe there's abit more to it.

It could well b something to do with your g/fx card or driver.I have the same prob with moto racer 3,.I have to change my driver to an older version to play. :)

Run the .bat, then run the .exe.

don't download rips, get the iso or bin/cue files

rips may be smaller, but in the long run iso images are much better ;)

If you're going to use rips (they suck) first double click the .bat, then the file that has install RegistryKeys, then the run the exe.

Yes. Usually you have to open a .bat file, then install the registry keys, then open the .exe.

If you can't figure it out in the end, read the .nfo/readme file.
