Brother Adam Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 So I gave in to temptation and bought Plants vs Zombies tonight and tried to install it. As soon as I hit "install" on the first screen my entire computer froze. I couldn't even hit ctrl+alt+del. What the flibbity. I have a Windows 7 64 bit computer, Intel i5 chip. Any ideas?

Papist Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Try right click on the setup.exe and click run as administrator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Normile Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 (edited) Bro Adam, did you get it working? I know that many programs are not compatible with win 7 64 bit, you could try the game under the xp compatibility and see how that works. I have the 64 bit version puter too, oddly enough my old windows program Microsoft home publishing 2000 works like a charm, but I have had to run several things in compatibility mode that are far newer. I bought a game at wal-mart that said it was for 7 and had to run it in xp compatibility mode as it was not for 64 bit 7. ed Edited March 30, 2011 by Ed Normile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully, I don't use many games and other such programs so I don't really have to worry about it much. But yeah, I'd do as Papist suggested and right click on the setup file and then click Run as Administrator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Adam Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 I did eventually find the answer online - you have to run it in xp compatability mode to install it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
