  • In all the hearts of Windows games, it seems that they do not know the rules. The Queen of Spades is just like a heart in the real rules

    In all the hearts of Windows games, it seems that they do not know the rules.  The Queen of Spades is just like a heart in the real rules. I don't have to play the Queen.  If hearts have been broken, and all I have left is some hearts and the Queen of Spades, I can play a weak heart rather than being forced to play the Queen.  The windows game apparently does not know this rule.

    original title: rules of hearts

    Hello

    Actually if the Queen of Spades breaks hearts and cannot therefore be considered a heart
    is optional. The basic rule is that the Queen of Spades does not break hearts and must be conducted
    If a player has the Queen of spades and still hearts if hearts have been broken.

    My preferences are the Queen of Spades or a heart can be played on the 1st round Sub in the Clubs.
    And the Queen of Spades does not break the hearts and must be conducted if only he and hearts are
    left in the hands and hearts have not been broken. Those who make for much more difficult game

    Your Store account is independent of any installation of Windows 8. If you have downloaded or bought all the apps store, this information is saved in the store.

    1. open the store and make sure that you are connected with your Store account (press the Windows key + I, then select your account).

    2 on the main screen, right click and select your applications on the top toolbar.

    3 in the drop-down Menus, select applications and the sort by name.

  • Windows games does not - to loose color and resize

    I realize that this is not the most critical application in Windows Vista, but these games really provides a nice break.  When I open one of the windows games, the window and the cards are grayed out.  If I move my mouse over the game to another application window, the game returns to its colors original and active.  But as soon as I bring my mouse to try to play the game, it's all gray and have fun in size.
    I tried to delete and add games available in the Control Panel, but alas... nothing
    Hi girl Lake of gold,.
    -The problem only occurs with these games?
    -Don't you make changes to your computer before the problem?

    There are a few steps you can try:
     
    Step 1:
     
    Perform the scan SFC . The tool (SFC.exe) System File Checker scans missing or system corrupted files and repairs them.

    Step 2:
     
    If this doesn't help, you want to put your machine in a clean boot State in order to determine whether any third-party application is causing the problem to occur.

    Step 3:
     
    If the above two steps are little help, you could create a new user account and check.
    If it works fine in the new user account, you would want to fix the damaged user account .

  • Window games 7

    New computer & new installation of windows 7. No games. Features I've tried, but I get a message "an error has occurred, not all features that are installed.
    Any ideas on troubleshooting and resolution?
    Thank you

    Hey prairiedog,.

    This could be because some of the system files required by running Windows games are missing or are damaged. My suggestion to solve this problem is to run the System File Checker to replace missing or damaged files.

    To do this, follow these steps:

    1. open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, right-click Guest, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.

    2. type the following command and press ENTER:
    sfc/scannow

    The sfc/scannow command. analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.
    To determine which files can be repaired by the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:

    1. open an elevated command prompt.
    2. type the following command and press ENTER:

    findstr/c: "[SR] cannot repair the military file" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log > sfcdetails.txt

    Note The Sfcdetails.txt file contains details of every time that the System File Checker tool has been run on the computer. The file contains information about the files that are not repaired by the System File Checker tool. Check the date and time entries to determine the problem files that were found last time that you ran the System File Checker tool.

    3. type the following command and press ENTER:

    Edit sfcdetails.txt

    The Sfcdetails.txt file uses the following format:

    The date/time SFC detail

    If the System File Checker tool cannot repair a file, follow these steps:

    1. at a command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:

    takeown /f Path_And_File_Name

    For example, type takeown /f E:\windows\system32\jscript.dll.

    2. type the following command and press ENTER to grant administrators full access to the file:

    ICACLS Path_And_File_Name/grant ADMINISTRATORS: F

    For example, type icacls E:\windows\system32\jscript.dll/grant administrators: F.

    3. type the following command to replace the file with a known good copy of the file:

    Copy Path_And_File_Name_Of_Source_File Path_And_File_Name_Of_Destination

    For example, type copy E:\temp\jscript.dll E:\windows\system32\jscript.dll.

    Information available at:

    How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

    After you run the tool, try to activate the features and games programs. If the SFC scan replaces missing files successfully, you should be able to run games on programs and features.

    Also - if you mean Windows 8.1 for Windows 10: do not trust a single scan or test to tell you whether or not the upgrade will be successful.  You should check with the manufacturer of each product (hardware and software) to ensure that support them (the real manufacturers of real products in question) is in place for the newer operating system.

  • Transfer ALL my windows 7 (free upgrade for 10) to my iMac

    Good evening (Sydney, Australian time is &.08 PM).

    My problem is (in addition to being a LONG PERIOD STARTING), is I'm tired of my Windows 7, breaking with respect to the car. updates Microsoft seems not to care. (see their community forums). So I bought an iMac 21.5 "and have also purchased Parallels so that I could use both with the new iMac.

    I'm trying to retrieve all my windows (or largest) transferred to the side of the Apple computer, with a special area to keep what I need Windows.

    Please, is there a way? or am I wasting time and should remove all my windows work (more than 10-14 years with a value. (Of course, I know that I have to get rid of a lot of waste etc.).

    Possible, including at - it an application or something else, that allows me to get some of my files etc on my side window Apple?

    Thank you for reading.

    Harry Deitch (Sydney, Australia)

    P, S I have an Apple protection plan for 3 years, but I can't find the Email contact, as it is easier for me to use email rather than phone.

    I want to get rid of Parallels 10, like all they want is to get continually updated (and pay about $60-$70 (Aus).

    You send an email no AppleCare, you pick up the phone and call them and talk to a real human being. However they will not be taken in charge of Parallels. I suspect that you can contact the Parallels developers to migrate your Windows Info.

  • I didn't want tabs at all, just windows. I have vs 39.0

    I want my firefox works as before. I don't want the tabs. The way it works now, is of all Web pages seem to go into an icon at the bottom. If I try to minimize a window, it does not return to the previous window, it goes to my desktop. VERY FRUSTRATING. I want to see all the Windows I have open, distributed along my bar tasks. If there is no solution for this, I'll Safari as I saw suggested elsewhere. Or another solution would be to go to an older version of Firefox that always worked normally.
    Thank you

    As test, could you open two new windows, a regular (Ctrl + n) one private (Ctrl + Shift + p) and describe how the taskbar display changes? Do you get the additional graphics next to the Firefox button simulating a "stack" of buttons? That's what I think that you normally get.

    If the problem is that you want different buttons rather than a stack, the Windows taskbar has a setting for it. Right-click the taskbar, click Properties, and then change buttons setting to never combine. (Screen attached)

    Firefox can also show each tab in the taskbar, but if you try to avoid using tabs, which is probably not relevant. For future reference, it's the setting here:

    "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > general

    Downstairs, 'Show previews tab in the Windows task bar.
