Problems with 3D games: missing QT component?

I'm having trouble getting Nanosaur II: Hatchling to run on my iMac G5. It worked fine under 10.3.9 & QT6 until I reformatted my hard drive, installed Tiger and reinstalled the game from the DVD that came with my computer. I'm running 10.4.2 with Quicktime 7.0.1 and whenever I try to launch the game it crashes after allowing me to choose the resolution and then displaying a couple of error dialog boxes:
"DrawPictureIntoGWorld: GetGraphicsImporterForFile failed! One of Quicktime's importer components is missing. You should reinstall OS X to fix this."
and
"SetMetaObjectToPicture: DrawPictureIntoGWorld failed!"
I get the same errors from Pangea's Enigmo. I also can't get Warcraft III (with Frozen Throne expansion installed) to work. The intro video played fine but then I get just a pointer but no background in what should be the menu screen and nowhere on the (blank/black) screen responds to clicking (no errors displayed). (Incidentally, GarageGames' Marble Blast Gold is working fine but World Book 2004 won't show any articles).
I've tried re-installing the various games, Tiger and QT7 several times, both as updates and as a clean installation of the OS (archive and install) and none of this makes any difference.
Can anyone please help?

did you try updating nanosaur? there is an update from their site. my problem is that i can't get player 1 and 2 controls working at the same time.

  • Problem with video games

    Hi all,
    I have a problem with video games on Windows 8.1.
    On my Windows 7 I could play all games without any problems.
    Now I installed Windows 8.1 and I have problems with running video games: lower FPS, game breakdowns and sometimes even texture problems inside the game.
    I tried to reinstall both Windows and Graphic drivers. I tried several versions of drivers.
    I have Radeon HD 6870 and AMD Phenom II X4 955, SSD disk, 12 GB RAM.
    The point is: the same games works perfect on Windows 7 but doesn't work right on Windows 8.1.
    Can you, please, tell me if is there any other solution except going back to Windows 7 ?

    Hi,
    Please verify if these games are compatible with Windows 8.1.
    If yes, please download and install the proper version of game file and driver.

    You have not deleted it from the purchases list, it is just hidden. To unhide an app, open the Mac App Store app, click the Account link in the Quick Links to the right of the pane and go to the iTunes in the Cloud section where you can manage hidden apps.

  • Satellite L870-16C -display problems with some games

    Hi,
    I've bought this laptop recently and it turned out that i have tearing problems with some games.
    But really not with all games, just some of them (ex: the witcher, borderlands, trine...).
    So i was wondering what the problem could be?
    So far, i've heard it could be a v-sync problem, but everything i've done regarding this didn't change a thing.
    Is it just a software issue or could it be a hardware problem with the graphic card?
    I'm considering sending back my laptop to Toshiba, so i wanted to know if this was the only solution (and if it was a solution indeed).
    For information, it's a L870-16C with a ati radeon HD 7670m graphic card (driver version: 12.10-130101a-151427E-ATI), operating on windows 8 64 bit.
    Does anyone have some clues?
    thanks

    What game problems do you have exactly?
    Could you be more precise?
    You said that you have some problems but NOT with all games.
    Therefore I dont think that you have an hardware problem
    In most cases (any) games issues are related to graphic card drivers in my long gaming experience, all issues which I had in the past were related to compatibility problems between driver and game.

  • Driver problem with some games?

    Yeah, I'm aware the Macbook (black) isn't a gaming computer by ANY means. The problem is (or might be) a lot simpler to fix than all those video card problems. ATI isn't meant for gaming, but I can run X-Plane 9 perfectly fine. It runs very well on my Macbook, even with multiplayer, but I'm having a small problem with the trees. The only way I can make it enjoyable is to disable the trees, which I don't want. The trees spas out and it looks like there is a laser war going on across the landscape, with flickering textures and all. It's chaotic and VERY annoying. It may not seem important to you, but to a flight enthusiast like myself, bush flying is half the fun! Here's some screenshots:
    http://img6.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=picture172.png
    Two of these are with the trees, one is without.
    Is there something I'm missing like a driver update? Or is this just not an option on my Macbook?
    Thanks in advance.
    Other info: OS X 10.5.6

    There are no separate driver updates. Any driver updates would be included with updated system software.
    You might try the games at lower resolutions to improve frame rates.

  • Problem with one game

    I have a problem with the league
    of legend, after theirs update the game just die(only in win10) , no
    work anymore,  go
    only 5-6 seconds and stops.
    what can i do?

    Christian
    If it only happens in their game it is their problem.  They need to make it compatible with win 10 not the other way around.
    If you would care to investigate it upload your event viewer logs.  If not I suggest you contact them again
    Please provide us with your Event Viewer administrative logs by following these steps:
    Click Start Menu
    Type eventvwr into Search programs and files (do not hit enter)
    Right click eventvwr.exe and click Run as administrator
    Expand Custom Views
    Click Administrative Events
    Right click Administrative Events
    Save all Events in Custom View As...
    Save them in a folder where you will remember which folder and save as Errors.evtx
    Go to where you saved Errors.evtx
    Right click Errors.evtx -> send to -> compressed (zipped) folder
    Upload the .zip file to Onedrive or a file sharing service and put a link to it in your next post
    If you have updated to win 8.1 and you get the error message "the system cannot find the file specified" it is a known problem.
     The work around is to edit the registry.  If you are not comfortable doing this DONT.  If you are, backup the key before you do
    Press Win+"R" and input regedit
    Navigate to:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WINEVT\Channels. Delete "Microsoft-Windows-DxpTaskRingtone/Analytic"

  • Possible problems with Check out and Open Component and delayed publishing

    Hi,
    I've experienced some seemingly wrong behaviors of the checkout and open component and also with the delayed publishing feature, I've listed it down :
    1) The all important one:
    We know we've delayed publishing features for content, if we set the Release Date metadata at a future date, the content will not be released immediately, but do we have a delayed publishing features for a website page. Through manage website the user can add / delete a page(section), may do include or exclude from navigation etc.. but can they set a future date when a particular page can be included in or excluded from navigation? This should be a standard feature for a WCM solution and I hope there is some solution for sure.
    2) Can we set a datefield with a calendar feature as a page custom (section) property?
    3) Again the issue with checkout and open component, only the user with admin privilege seems to be able to change the content, normal contributors cannot, cause every time is tries to check in with the old author name, so the user has to have admin privilege to assign a different doc author's name. No trace also who is making the changes.
    4) Also facing a lot of problems while trying to implement when we use this checkout and open component. As we cannot check who is making the change there is to way to set us a step for self review, also user can only approve or reject but cannot edit the doc before passing it to the next step, if the step user is created using tokens then only checking out of the doc takes it pass the step user, but everything is working perfect with contributor data file. No problem whatsoever. Even if we use manual check out and then check in (i mean without using checkout and open component) this is working fine. But the main problem with non-technical users will be they would not like the content server portal at all and they would always prefer ms word over anything else. They would directly like to double-click on the website page, the word doc will pop up and they would make change and save.
    Issue 1 and 4 are killer issues for us, I need your help to find a solution. I have few more issues that i will post later.

    Hey Shotdawq,
    I was a bit low on bandwidth, so could not visit the forum any sooner.DIS is dynamic integration studio, it works on the webdav protocol.
    you will need to install DIS on the client machines. The POC that i did was integration of SiteStudio with CheckOutAndOpenInNative.
    I am also planning to referenc this functionality from WebSphere, what i have in my mind is to copy the java script from my sitestudio page and paste
    it in the JSP, and then using the CIS or RIDC will execute the serverices. At present i am stuck in some other work, If i get this thing working i will
    update you. In the meanwhile if you have some question for me, feel free to throw them.
    cheers,

  • Problems with my recent/ missed called showing

    I'm haveing a problem with my iphone 4 . I updated it and I am no longer  able to get my phone to show recent/ missed calls.

    Double tap the home screen hold down on the phone app until you see the red minus sign and close out of the app.  Then open up the phone app again and check your recent tab and see if it shows up.
    If that doesn't work, then do a reset hold down the home/power button until you see the apple logo and then release then wait for the phone to boot back up.

  • Connection problems with online games

    I have been having problems with all of online games while using the wireless WRT100 router. I am having problems connecting with all the players...

  • Problems with playing games on my Satellite L300-13B

    I hope I've put this in the right forum.
    I've tried games of different types and some of them just doesn't seem to work, even if my computer exceeds the system requirements.
    As an example I've tried to install and play Call of duty 2.
    After reducing the settings to the lowest possible, the game is still not working properly.
    I don't really understand what the problem seems to be.
    The game I'm trying to play at the moment is Blood bowl.
    According to the games system requirements, my computer should work fine with this game.
    Strangely enough, it doesn't. I've tried using "system requirements lab", and their program: "can you run it".
    Still, it shows that i can't run the game even if my computers capabilty is good enough.
    If someone knows what the problem might be, please help me out.

    Hi
    > After reducing the settings to the lowest possible, the game is still not working properly.
    As I understand, you are able to start the game but the graphic doesnt run smoothly.
    Is this correct?
    Hey mate.. listen
    As far as I know this unit has been equipped with the Intel GL960 graphic card chip.
    To be honest this graphic chip ist not designed for gaming purposes!!!
    Its a common graphic chip which can be used for a common office purposes but its not designed for gaming!
    So you will get the game running but dont expect too much

  • Problems with a Game - Should I update to OSX Mountain Lion?

    Howdy,
    To cut a long story short and get straight to the point I've been having problems with the Sims 3 for god knows how long and its starting to drive me mad. What I'm now wondering is whether updating to OSX Mountain Lion would help at all. The reason I've asked this is because I read a post by someone that said the only way to update your video card (which might be causing the problem) would be to upgrade the whole operating system.
    Any help would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Sarah
    P.s. If you need anymore details or anything just let me know

    You can not upgrade your Video card at all.
    Mountain Lion may help, but I don't know that it will.
