    Planet Alcatraz cannot start in Windows 7 Ultimate

    My computer is running Windows 7 Ultimate with 2 GB RAM and Core2Duo processor. The problem that I am facing in my system even after doing a clean install of the operating system is that Planet Alcatraz cannot start in Windows 7 Ultimate. I am not able to understand why this is happening because there was no problem while installing this particular game. Does the system requirements of the game show that the Windows 7 platform is supported or not? Please reply soon and thanks for any help.

    As shown in the above post, Planet Alcatraz cannot start in Windows 7 Ultimate is because this game has incompatibility issues with the operating system. So, to force this particular game to start in Windows 7, you will have to use the Run as Administrator option because this is the solution that is used in such situations. This problem has mainly occurred because Windows 7 is blocking the game from loading.

    I suppose that there is a problem in the setup of the game. This is why Planet Alcatraz cannot start in Windows 7 Ultimate even after the game is installed properly. You must try installing the game from another setup of the game. So, download a new setup or exchange the disc of the game, if you have brought it from an authorized dealer. It is possible that the problem will be resolved.
