The problem is tied to Aero and it's inability to properly handle colours resulting in a variety of graphical glitches and crashes.

Before I started using this bat file, none of those games would work under Windows 7 either. I have never had any problems with them since doing this. I use this same batch file to run Age of Empires 2 Gold, MOO 2, and Pharaoh Gold. When you finish playing all you need to do is hit the space bar to start up Explorer again. Create a batch file (name it whatever you want, SimCity4.bat, etc just so long as you make sure to save it as a bat file, not txt or anything else) with the following lines taskkill /F /IM Explorer.exe SimCity4.exe pause Start explorer.exe Place this batch file in the same directory as SimCity4.exe, (Note, you must rename Sim City 4.exe so that it does not contain any space ie SimCity4.exe) and edit the icon on the desktop so that the target points to this bat file instead of the game exe file. If you disable Explorer before playing the game, it runs without issue or at least I haven't had any problems with it thus far. I found that the solution to this problem is the same as for other older games which won't work properly under Windows 7 such as Master of Orion 2. Disable visual themes and disable display scaling on high dpi settings and try to run again. If you still have problems previous to rush hour installation, right click on the desktop icon and click compatibility. The game will then run and you shouldn't experience problems. It will prompt that changes wont take effect until next time you start up. if you experience weird graphics with such as flickering, once on the region screen go to the graphics options, set the graphics to full/best and tick everything.

1st install simcity 4 and run the program. I could install sim city 4 and play (although it did quit if i over clicked) adn rush hour would freeze the computer forcing a reset. May have a solution Hi, I too had several problems with Sim City 4 and in particular rush hour. Like I mentioned, I've tried this and numerous other methods to run the game but so far not much luck getting to run stable.

Keep in mind there are no guarantees that the game will perform like it should though. By applying these settings to the SimCity executable, only that program will run in XP compatibility mode and the rest of your installed programs, indeed Windows 7 itself, will remain unaffected by the change.

You don't really need VM (virtual machine) to run the game (that's a bit overkill) You can try running the game in Windows XP compatibility mode using the following method: - open windows explorer (either pinned to the taskbar or start/all programs/accessories/windows explorer) - navigate to the location where you have SimCity installed, open the directory - right-click the SimCity executable - select properties - select 'compatibility' tab - check the box 'Run this program in compatibility mode for: ' - select Windows XP SP3 (or SP2) from the drop-down list - on the same tab further down, check box (select option) 'disable visual themes' (this disables aero which may conflict with certain software and/or games) - on the same tab at the bottom, check the box 'Run this program as an administrator' - hit 'Apply' & run the game This method will allow you to execute the program (SimCity) in Windows XP compatibility mode. Been searching high and low for a solution to the various problems encountered when playing this game, but haven't found anything concrete yet. Oddly enough, some folks out there experience no problems, yet the playing experience for the greater majority remains rather an elusive hit-or-miss proposition (mostly miss) and they contend with game crashes, graphics glitches, slowdowns, complete lack of responsiveness and other issues. Still get choppy play, crashes, game hanging, rebooting my system.

Tried so many possible methods software configurations - game installation (plug-in/add-in incompatibility perhaps?), OS tweaking - administrator mode, compatibility mode, different OS versions (x86 v 圆4 Pro v. Tried the game on various versions of Windows 7 and have yet to enjoy a positive experience playing SC4. I've had the game for a long time and really enjoy it playing on XP. So it's rather strange that Microsoft would change the compatibility while nothing's changed in the OS itself. The same version of the OS that went on sale Oct 22 was already available to MSDN subscribers since late August. What's changed in the OS? Nothing really. The compatibility change on the Microsoft site was a rather recent change (occurred between late Sept and mid October). The status of the game was set by Microsoft as 'incompatible' throughout the Beta and RC period of Win 7 development and even until quite recently (before the official release this past October). Understood, but in reality SC4 really isn't 'fully compatible'.
