Some games crashing on windows 7

[goblindolf]

Hello!

 

So I just got a new computer and upgraded to windows 7 64bit and noticed I can't play some spiderweb games.

 

CPU: Core i5-750.

Graphics Card: Radeon 5770

Latest graphics drivers

OpenGL 3.2

Directx 11

 

Nethergate Resurrection: Screen goes black after I double click the game and keyboard freezes, have to turn power off to restart the computer as it is completely unresponsive.

 

Geneforge 5: Asks me what resolution I want to play at then does same as nethergate when I click "Ok".

 

Edit: Geneforge 5 doesn't crash my system if I select "play in window mode"! I dislike window mode but that may give a clue about the problem.

Trying to make nethergate start in window mode with -window doesn't stop it crashing though.

 

Edit: Running nethergate in compatibility mode for windows xp doesn't help, but I can run nethergate on a virtual machine with xp installed on it. (xp mode)

 

Blades of avernum: Same as nethergate

 

Geneforge 1-4: Works

Avernum 1-5:Works

 

Avernum 5:

If my resolution is set to 1680 x 1050 it says I need at least: 1024x768. If I allow it to change resolution the game is squished from the sides. If I don't it is centered.

 

If my resolution is: 1024x768 it says I need at least: 1024x768. If I don't allow it to change resolution or do allow it, it is full screen like it should be.

some of older games might not work on 64bit systems.

[A less presumptuous name.]

Most of the old games work just fine for him.

 

I think problems like this have been reported, but I can't tell you what to do. If no one here can help, email Jeff directly.

I would have agreed if geneforge 5 wasn't one of the ones crashing since it's quite new.
