I don't know if anyone else has asked this question but I was just wondering about Window 7 and all of my beloved LDW games.

I would rather be able to play these games than to upgragrade.

Poor me. I really don't understand. VV3 was running ok on Vista. After I install Windows 7, I couldn't launched it. Error is application crashed T_T The others like VF or Plant tycoon are still running normally.

It would help us if you could provide more information, such as a specific error message or more detailed symptoms of the problem you're experiencing. Crashes can have many different causes, and it would be difficult to speculate why VV3 is not working now.

These are some information in the window "VV3 has stopped working" that appear immediately after I double click to run the application.

Problem event name: APPCRASH
Application timestamp: 482cb78a
Fault Module name: stackhash_2264

Did you purchase VV3 directly from LDW, or did you purchase it from another game site? The reason I ask is that it could help isolate the cause of the problem to the game or to the DRM software. If you're not sure where you purchased VV3, you can look in the lower-left corner of the game's menu screen and there should be "LDW" to the right of the version number if you purchased the game from us.

A corrupted game or savegame file can cause crashes, and that appears to be what was causing the problem for you. I'm glad that reinstalling the game got it working again, even if you had to start over.

I just had to get a new one and it came with Windows 7 also. So far the only game I have downloaded is my VF. I got through the first quirk of it not starting.
My problem now is that it no longer goes full screen. It's set on full screen but is more like half screen. It irritates me so bad that I just don't play it and haven't bothered to download my other 3 VV games. Now, I have been waiting for VV4 and now I'm not going to see the sense in buying that either.

I am hoping that this is just a simple setting issue that maybe someone can help me with. I miss my little peeps!!
