Greetings Geekhack Users!
I am a huge fan of the game Plants vs Zombies, but I have an issue with the game which I need help with. The game will play fine on Windows 7 64 bit for about 30 to 45 minutes, after which point it will lock up and become unresponsive. If I restart the game, it will continue for a few seconds, and lock up again. I have tried running it in compatibility mode with all sorts of OS choices; I have enabled the option to always run the game as an administrator; I experimented with full screen and windowed mode; I tried fiddling with the resolution and the Windows 7 theme (Basic or Aero) but nothing seems to work. I don't think that it is an issue of the game being unable to run in a 64 bit OS, because I have had other games which had that issue, and I couldn't even install them. This game installed and ran very well for almost an hour before giving me constant lock ups. I have installed it from the CD version, and I don't think there are any updates that I have to get for it. Does anyone here have a solution to this problem? If so, I would be much obliged for the answer, as it is a fun game and I would hate to be unable to play it simply because of an incompatibility issue.
