The Revenge of the Fallen Games Minimum specification:

 

Operational system: Windows XP/Vista

Processor; Pentium 4 @3GHz

Memory: 1GB, or 2 GB for Vista

Video Memory 256Mb

Sound card: DirectX 9.0 Compatible

What kind of video card do you have? And what happens when you run the game -- specifically, what error messages do you see on the screen?

When i try to play on my desktop,it prompts "Windows have stopped working for this program!"

 

But when i run on my laptop,it prompts,"An error has occured......!"

Lemme take a stab at this issue.

 

Are you using Windows Vista? If yes, try to run this game as an Administrator. Open up your Start menu >> All Programs. This will display a list of all the software that you have installed on your computer.

 

Find your Transformers game in the list, right-click it and select "Run As Administrator"

1) If you are using Vista, disable UAC. Useless piece of crap seriously.

2) Update your video drivers and DirectX. You need to know the exact chipset of your video card to do this.

3) If all else fails, ditch the game or get a new card.

Tried that but still fails...

1) If you are using Vista, disable VAC. Useless piece of crap seriously.

2) Update your video drivers and DirectX. You need to know the exact chipset of your video card to do this.

errr...how to disable VAC?

 

Settings>Accounts>Disable UAC

Settings>Accounts>Disable UAC

That's what I did several times but each time after computer restart, UAC will return again.

 

I ended up downloading a program called "Bye Bye UAC". It solved the problem once and for all.

Haha. Congrats John! So i was right that it was UAC yes? But i predict that the problem might come again or there is actually a bigger problem lying somewhere in your OS as you cannot disable UAC the normal way. Better run scans just to make sure.
