    Default Problems installing Evo, 07, Race On and STCC

    I've got Win7 64 bit on my computer and yesterday I tried installing GTR Evo and Race 07 from disk and ran into an error saying that the install routine isn't compatible with Win7 64 bit. I also purchased Race 0n and STCC off of Steam, I was able to download them and install both as well as Evo and 07 but when trying to run any of these off Steam the video setup window comes up, I enter the settings I need then press OK and nothing happens. Anyone else having this problem? I've checked other forums and I'm not the only one that cant get any of them to load in Win7 64 bit. On a side note, even setting Steam executable up in compatibility mode doesn't help.

    Edit: forgot to mention that I've set myself up with full Admin rights

    Dave,

    Not knowing what hoops you've already jumped through, make sure you install the games 'as Administrator' - you've probably already figured this out, but it seems to be one of the things that most messes up installation of earlier games.

    Sorry not to have any other helpful tips...

    I finally figured it out

    You have go to into the Advanced properties of the Steam icon and check mark "RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR" even if you have given your User Account full Admin rights to the computer, go figure eh!!!

    Thanks for the info Henry, your comment is what got me to thinking
