Hey everyone! I've been waiting for Max Payne 3 for years and now that it finally came out, I cannot play it on my Lenovo Y570. When I try to launch it through steam, I get an error message that says Service Pack 1 or higher is required to run this game. The top bar of the window reads ERR_OS_VISTA. I thought my specs were fine and I run Windows 7 so I am very confused. Any help would be much appreciated.

ugh... After a few hours of fiddling I had to change the compatibility and run as admin. But totally worth it! thanks, I guess I already had the service pack. Weird

Have a look in your System Properties and see if Windows 7 Service Pack 1 is installed. If it isn't, I'd go ahead and install it, and if it is already installed, keep on playing. ;)

Wont Launch!

Hey all,

I am having the same problems... My game wont seem to launch via Steam...

Keeps sayind I need service pack 3 or higher but I have the most up to date windows updates.

Any ideas how I can get it to run... as far as I am aware it meets the minimum specs to operate!

Cheers
