Can't run Bioshock on windows 7/8/10? This is the fix

Hello there readers,and welcome to my blog. It's Christmas time and it's also the times for the glorious steam winter sale ( thank you Lord Gaben). Scrolling through the great deals on steam and suddenly you find bioshock triple pack for dirt cheap. Without thinking too much, you grab the bundle and get ready for non-stop bioshock trilogy play.

Ahh little sister

Then come the part when you try to run Bioshock. Instead of the game, you are greeted by an error message (0x00003 error or some sort) preventing you from playing your beloved game. Fear not because i will tell you how to fix this.

1. Try to run the games as admin.

2. Run the game for compability mod for windows vista sp2 (or older). You need to test it yourself because it varies for every person

You also may encounter no sound glitch. You may encounter this if you have realtek onboard sound card. To fix this, simply ;

1. Open control panel, click "Hardware and Sound", click "Sound", click "recording" tab; then right click in the middle of the window where the devices are and tick "show disconnected devices". This will bring up Stereo Mix for you to enable and Bioshock/Windows 7/8/10 sound problems gone.

2. If the method above doesn't help you simply plug in the microphone (somehow plugging in microphone automatically activate stereo mix)

If the above methods work for you guys dont forget to tell me in the comment section below. That's all from me and happy gaming.
