Solving Technical Problems of Games and Applications by Self

Most of the games in the present day which are designed for PCs along with PSP and XBOX are being designed for Win32 Platform. This is the result of the popularity and the easier porting capabilities for Win32. Better part with Microsoft Windows is that it uses DirectX which is capable of running the 3D games even without OpenGL support and compatible hardware speeds for Operating System.

Basically there should be some settings for windows which should make it simpler to know what the issue is when a problem comes with any application or game. These settings include the following,

Just after the installation of the Operating System, make sure that the file extensions and the hidden files and the system files are shown. You should be able to see all the files in the Hard Disk and each file also includes the extension of the file shown.

One should know what are the system files and what are the files of the application or a game. Basically there are some system files hidden in other drives. One of it is System Restore. And the other files more important to the OS in the installation drive are the pagefile.sys, the NTuser.DAT etc. These are some of the hidden files which should not be touched what ever problem may exist. Better thing is to see all the files in C: Drive or the installation drive and the other drives for what the pre-written files are.

Coming to the basic problem with any application, there can be any problem with any of the files generally of the installed games and applications rather than the OS files. In this situation, the Operating System will show an error report. The error report generally includes a request to Send the error report to the Developer and a Don't Send option. In this case the problem in the application can be seen by opening the Details tab.

In the Details tab, the problem with the specific executable file is shown. This executable needs to be re-installed or to be copied from some other previous dumps or from the developers website. Also, if the application do not need such a file as its basic need, like if it is an optional file, then it can be renamed to exclude it from loading. These optional files generally will be the introduction movies in games and other picture or background kind of files and does not need to re-install everything. Some times if the file in the installer itself is corrupt, it is a must to change the file with a duplicate and by renaming the duplicate file with the original filename, only if the corrupt file is a video or a picture file.

Some times some of the main executables will be corrupt because of some reason. This situation can be solved by getting the patches for the executables from the developer.

Solution for Need For Speed Undercover Crash Problem

There are reports that the game Need For Speed Undercover is crashing frequently at introduction video at the spot where the Helicopters chase the Car.

A similar kind of problem is seen in the case of the game Prince of Persia Warrior Within. So the solution for that game may also solve the problem of this game Need For Speed Undercover. The Solution for that game Prince of Persia Warrior Within is given by a friend in a forum on fileforums website.

The Solution for the game Prince of Persia Warrior Within was to move a video file to another location which was corrupted or damaged someway leading to a crash to windows when ever the game was run. So when the game tries to access that moved file. It wont be accessible in that location so the game skips that video segment. Similar kind of problem may be occurring in the game Need For Speed Undercover. Just try removing the introduction video files by moving to to another location. This may solve the problem.

Another solution may be to remove any previous profile aliases which may also affect the game and leading to crashes in Need For Speed Undercover.

Many games like these may be crashing because of the problems as simple as these. So, it is better to be patient to solve the problem taking the help of the web.

In most of the cases, when ever there is a crash like this, there would be an error report showing the information of any file which is responsible for the crash. These crashes can be solved just by replacing the files with new ones in the cases where the files are .dll files. If the files are .exe files, it is better to re-install the application.
