Why are my purchased PC games (new) not working?

I got a PC DVD with 10 games for my laptop. But first only 5 games installed (must be installed individually). 2 of them do not work at all and the other 3 went about 5 minutes and then came that the program does not work anymore.

My laptop meets all system requirements! I installed them in my game folder, not directly in "C". Is it because they do not work? Or where is the mistake?

th

Which laptop and which games?

Ba

Acer E1-531 & Hidden Object Adventure (Box of 10).

th

Which version of Windows do you use? Newer versions (8 / 8.1 / 10) are probably not supported.

Ba

8.1 and you can take them for XP, 7,8 & 10.

Okay, try the compatibility mode

Ba

I've already.

th

I can't think of much more. You could reinstall it again, but this time do not change the location.

Ba

OK. So take the place that is proposed. All right!

Should I delete the existing one before?

Ch

Can also be that the PC is too fast for the games, I had some problems with years ago

then had to throttle the PC and then it ran, and after the game switch back,

Of course, I had to change the PC anyway if I started it and also finished, was a bit annoying

th

Yes, you should uninstall it beforehand via Programs and Features / Add / Remove Programs.

It could be that the Direct-X version of your graphics card is incompatible. Most "normal" laptops have Direct-X 11. There are also games that need Direct-X 12. Maybe it's because of that.

Nope, was just installed in the wrong folder.

Ba

Have it uninstalled and then installed in the "automatically" specified folder. Running… Everything!

Super.

Have fun playing.

ne

OK.

Ba

Do I have!
