Macromedia Projector

I get thies message when I open Comcast Photo Show Deluxe. The Comcast Photo Show Deluxe window pops up when I click the icon, but shortly after, the error message pops up, then after I click ok, the program closes.

I have this problem using other games. I finally got a smart Tech support person and this solved the problem.... I hop it does yours also...

According to the discussion over the phone for the error message Macromedia has encountered an error, I have found some solution, kidly try them out and mail me back with suggesions.
- Click - Start, Programs, Accessories, Program Compatibility Wizard.
- Follow the prompts to set up the compatibility mode.
- Use Windows 98 compatibility, and disable visual themes.

- The program should now work properly in Windows XP.
Also try 16 bit compatibility wized under display properties.

Regards
Vivendi Universal Games.

I printed out your instructions, but wonder if these changes will affect any other programs adversely? Please reply, Thanks

Thanks

My son used to play Engie Bengie, and The Fimbles fine, but after the last PC wipe and reinstall, I couldn't get them to run.

Symptoms:

Game starts to load, but instead of a cut screen showing, you get a black screen with sound. Followed later by a macromedia projector error.

Cure:

Run the compatability wizard, select the programs you have a problem with, set to Win98.


If the wizard cannot find the file automatically, you will manually have to browse to the programs folder, which can normally be found at:

c:\program files

I hope this helps other users, as It took me a while to find useful info on Macromedia projector error. Without stumbling on this link, for macromedia projector error, I would have had a very upset 2 1/2 year old.

Many thanks again for the info.

I have some games that have this error too, and when I tried to do what was suggested it did not fix the problem, any other ideas to fix this??
thanks in advance

I ran the program compatibility wizard and the game works but it runs upside down. How do I fix this issue?

I experienced the same problem as mike_ayc . I'm using a notebook with xp. I tried uninstalling and re-installing the comcast photo deluxe, but got same result. does anyone have a fix for this?

Hey, I have been having this problem too. I wanted to open a 30 Seconds to mars CD that have video on it and I keep getting: Macro media Projector has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
I am using windows XP on a 3 year-old HP laptop. Please can anyone help me ... This is getting me really frustrated ...
Thanks in advance ...

If anyone has a solution to this problem please let me know. I am running vista but I understand that it also happens on xp

I've got windows vista as well .. running I.E. 7 .. can't open any of my games .. I get the stupid Macromedia Projector stopped working error and can't find any solution that will work. I sure wish someone knew of a fix.

my computer is vista and it keeps saying macromedia projector has stopped working. What can i do to fix this i have tried everything, i need help. I just want ot be able to install and play my games can someone please help me

So far, no solution has been found. I've even worked with my computer manufacturer. They're hoping once I save everything to an external hard drive and go back to factory settings I'll be able to play all my games again. Not only do I get the Macromedia Projector error, I get the shockwave.com Keyhole DRM Application has stopped working AND my Game Launcher has stopped working. It's a mess and no one can figure out why.

Ya its all weird. i have the sims installed and it plays fine but i can't play diner dash, that makes no sence to me considering i played diner dash 2 days ago and now i can't i just don't understand

If I wanted to attempt this I'd try disabling UAC for a test run.

ok this is really going to sound really stuoid but what is UAC?

ok well i tried that and it still didnt work it still says macromedia projector has stopped working and closes.

The next solution is called Virtual PC. That's free but you need XP to run inside that.

Need help with getting a solution to the problem

1. Run on a compatible OS.
2. Run it in a Virtual PC using the compatible OS.

Hi

I have Windows Vista Home Basic 32 BIT

I am having this problem with my Real Arcade games

I keep getting this message: Game has stopped working
a Program caused the program to stop working correctly

then they refer me to C Net


I need help please........

If you have Vista instead of XP, you need to right click on the shortcut for your program, select the compatability tab, and set it to Windows 98/ME compatability. It got my daughters NannyMania game working. Can't vouch for other programs but worth a try.

Look at the first posting date!

2. Try it with UAC off.
And no, I don't tell anyone what UAC is. We have google, yahoo. etc.

3. Call it in. I'm sure they have other suggestions.

4. Post this in the Vista forum as a new post rather than bury it here.
