In general you can un-install a game or other software from one computer and install on a new one with the same owner and same product key. Sometimes you may need a new product key, and will need to get in touch with the manufacturers.
You do not say what kind of computer/tablet ect you have, but if it uses Windows have you gone to Control Panel>Add or Remove Programs to try and remove it?

SOURCE: Cannot Install

It might not run on vista. Vista in incredibly picky and most games needs patches. Best bet is to go to the sims website and see if they have the patch for vista.

SOURCE: I can not install Boggle on a Vista system

You could try to rightclick the setup.exe, select properties, go to compatibility and run it in Win95 compatibility. You can also try to make a shortcut to the game, then doing the above. There could also be a map called DIrectX on the disk. Try opening the executable in there, install DirectX, then try the game again.
Otherwise you're out of luck. Microsoft doesn't support old games, gets you to buy new ones. I don't like it either, but there's nothing you can do about it but switch back to Win95

SOURCE: I have installed the game and when I try to play

This is a common problem on Windows Vista. If you got the game installed and there's a shortcut on your desktop, just right click the icon of it on your desktop and click "Run as Administrator", then it will ask you to confirm, with or without password, and it will start with admin rights.

That's how simple it is. ^^

Testimonial: "You rock man. I actually have windows 7 and the problem was an uninstalled update that wouldn't run. Regardless your help allowed the game to finally start for me. Thanks so much."

Problems running with Windows 7 Ultimate

The program doesn't list that it is Win7 compatable (either on the package specs or Microsoft Compatability Center). Try right clicking on the install program and choose Properties. Then click on the Compatability Tab, put a check in the box "Run this program in the Compatability mode", choose Vista in the adjacent drop down box. Then right click on the installer and choose "Run as administrator". If this runs, great - have fun.

If it doesn't run, you have an alternative option since you hace Win7 Ultimate. Download and install the two programs that make up the XP mode from Microsoft; this will create a virtual computer that runs XP. Install this program inside that virtual computer. Have fun with the game.

I hope this helps.

My special force game guard is corrupted . what can i do?

special force gameguard can be corrupted in different ways.

1. Due to viruses that corrupt your gameguard
2. poor internet connection that will cause the files downloaded by the patch to corrupt.
3. Unmet system requirements of the game.

So that you will have a stable play of special force without worries of the game guard.

1. reformat your pc. have a clean install and clean format.
: but make sure that no viruses will enter your system

2. install the special force

3. Download the patch
and run the game once and twice
just to make sure that it will work normal.

4. install deep freeze

5. restart your computer.


If you can try reinstalling the game, and when you try it several times that it works, then you will no longer need to reinstall your system. just install deep freeze. So when the game guard get corrupted, just restart your computer. and it will be normal

Pm me if problem continues
I hope this works

btw if you want to open deep freeze, click the deep freeze icon on the task bar while holding the shift key.

Thanks :)
