I bought spongebob nighty nightmare pc cd-rom for my little boy,and when I put the cd in and ran it,it downloaded fine,but when I tried to open it and play,a screen came up saying something to the affect of "had to shut down to save computer from damage",I have plenty of space for the download,I also have already tried to unistall and install it again,but got the same results. I have windows vista,the computer is a month old,so there isnt a lot of garb on it,lol,is there something I'm not doing right? If you could help I would greatly appreciate it!!

I just had a look at that CD you are talking about, and to be quite honest, I don't blame the computer for not wanting to play it. I simply can't believe that this CD, with the srary & explicit content is rated for Age 5-9, grades 1-3. In the write up on-line for it, it says, " Play through 6 immense levels that will take you to the darkest corners of Bikini Bottom. They entice your child to explore nightmares & fantasies Kids will drive hot rods & destroy local land marks. I think your security system is trying to protect you, your child & computer from downloading things preprogrammed into the CD, like off color ads, spyware, you name it. That is my honest reason for why your PC will not run that CD.

Not totally sure of the Vista operating system yet, but I am sure that it has the similar features as Widows XP, with that in mind, you could try this. Right click on the icon, and then left click on properties. Select the tab that says Compatibility. Then Run this program in compatibility mode, and select the mode that will let the program run.

The game is, more than likely, not compatible with Vista. Vista is not as good as Microsoft has made it out to be, the National Institute of Standards and Technology won't even use it, and there is not alot of software that will work with it right now.

Did the box say it was compatible with Vista operating system? If not, you are out of luck for now. A patch might be able to fix this in the future.

It feels like a defective factor is an ordinary one: a capacitor, diode, resistor, yet there is the possibility that a custom chip is broken and this might desire an impractical substitute of motherboard. Please get it checked with good provider center to locate the reason with out plenty experiments.

If your computer is not working properly while you are working on it, it could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software.
