Tiger Woods 2007
Posted by admin on Aug 6th, 2006
This is the only game I've had trouble with running under Vista. Running in compatibility for XPsp2 forces an incorrect "please insert cd" when it is. At the conclusion of each hole a scorecard/scoreboard appears and causes the display driver to crash. I've tried a few different settings etc but no luck. This is the newest PC Golf game out thereisn't it? Someone must have a trick or tip to get this game running under Vista. or I bet there are quite a few disgruntled armchair golfers out here...Any tips/suggestions will be appreciated.

It seems a fair number of people are having trouble with this game. I read over in the Tiger Woods forums that peopel were able to get the 2005 version to work fine, but couldn't get the 2007 version. If I had any interest in that style of game, I would go buy it, just to see if I could get it to work. But I don't care for golf games...If everything works under XP mode, then I would suggest looking at possibly going to a place like gamecopyworld.com and grabbing a no CD crack to get around the Insert CD issue.

Now large sections of graphics are shaded in black and white and some graphics are all black or missing...weird stuff. There's more awry here. (drivers: I'm using 101.41 from nvidia and all other latest for mb, sound, dvd, etc.)

If you are using a nvidia card, there is an ongoing battle with drivers and Vista. Someone had brought this up awhile back and I looked in the EA forums and there were several people running the game, but they all had an ATI card. So you're going to be stuck waiting a little while longer while nvisia sorts out their drivers.On a side note, I'mplaying Supreme commander, which is an official Games for Windows Certified game and though I wasn't having a direct problem with it's SecureRom, the boards were full of people having issues. Funny enough, Under Vista, I could only get the game to work, if I had it in my First DVD rom drive and I had to take out my Battlefield2142 DVD as well.THQ and Gaspowered games actually listen to the complaints and in their last patch removed the DVD check. I mention this, because I was getting much BSODs under Vista and SupCom, until I loaded a DVD crack for the game. I'm still getting CTDs, but that's better than a BSOD."Richard XXII"

Everything is the same except you can run it under Vista! for only 39.99This was one of my most played games and now it's dead. :( I keep hoping the next video driver will fix it but I'm not holding my breath.

Newest NVIDIA driver solves the problem for me. Driver version is a "beta" atm but fixes TW2007. >google for driver version 165.01.
