  • Sims 2 questions on Windows 7 (64 bit) - black screen when starting the game

    Questions of title: Sims 2 original on Windows 7 (64-bit)

    The compatibility for Windows 7 thing, says that the Sims 2 and all the expansions will run in Windows 7.

    When I installed in fact all games Sims 2 on my laptop, however, the game does not start.

    I click on the game, opened upward, and I just get a black screen, causing me to have to restart the entire system.

    I tried to run in compatibility mode, which was a no-go. EA customer support asked me to update my drivers, I did. Because none of this worked, I guess that's another problem in Windows 7, so it would be great if I could get a solution to this problem!

  • Black screen when launching the virtual desktop

    I have a user who gets a black screen when you connect to their virtual desktop (linked clone).  I tried to delete the profile and the regeneration it with no luck.  It seems that I'm in the office and I can send Ctrl + Alt + Delete to start the Task Manager, but it's just a black screen.  I tried to change the RDP protocols, but the results are the same.  Any suggestions?

    Thanks for your answer "vcpguy".  The solution was to delete the profile and recompose the link clones (specialized basin).  I'm just assuming recomposing would have solved the problem since that removes the profile completely unlike a refresh settings of I tried first.

  • Black screen when playing the games

    I play several different types of games on my computer and just recently, I noticed that when I attempet to Alt + Tab to go to my office or a different window, I get stuck in a black screen with only the mouse showing sometimes. This came only in the last week and went with all the games that I played. I managed to make Ctrl + Alt + Delete but can only solve by making the system to reboot. All playing the games themselves, I don't encounter any problem, but only when I try to go to a different window that already passed.

    Help?

    Well, nothing has really changed, you can try the system restore and restore a week ago and see if it solves your problem.

  • Get the black screen when starting Vista

    Well, I bought a Vista in 2008 and he had worked pretty well and then as a few days ago, I'm starting to turn it on and all I get is a black screen! I really need to get it fixed because I need for school and really don't want to have to go buy a new:(toute suggestion serait vraiment apprécié!) 1

    * original title - I'm NEED HELP! *

    You get a Splash Screen (Dell, HP, etc. Logo) when you turn it on?

    Or is it totally Virgin market?

    If completely empty, it may a hardware failure.

    If under warranty, contact the manufacturer.

    If this is not the case, contact a local and trusted computer repairman.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    If you get a splash screen, Windows tries to load, but do not succeed, try the following steps:

    Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.

     

    Restore point:

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

    Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

    http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

    Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     

    If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

    Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    I tried to restore the hard drive using desktop imy PC and then things went really wrong.  get nothing on the screen while all components appear to be working properly

    I'm sorry that I post back. I was given an offer too good to refuse services HP customer. They accepted the Ultrabook returned as a RTB at their expense, and when I came back, it was in full working order, although costs in Factory mode. Fortunately, all the important things I have are on the cloud then I lose nothing of note.

    I would like to thank HP for do this, even though it was out of warranty, and the Ultrabook does not glitched at all since I got back.

    Any solution guys:(heures départ à me déteste:()

    Hey Buddy,

    This occurs only on the games or the windows too?

    Are you running the factory settings or did you do your own installation of Windows?

    Maybe that's a problem with the display driver. You must reinstall the latest driver from the Toshiba page. Don t use the nVidia drivers because they are not pre-tested:

    Can someone tell me what is taking place and how I can fix the situation please.

    Hello

    It seems during the BIOS update process, something went wrong and therefore the laptop does not start correctly.
    You should know that the update of the BIOS is always a risky job.

    Unfortunately, you will not be able to solve this problem. You need a help of an ASP.

    As the above user said, contact the service provider allowed in your country and ask for help!

  • Black screen when starting up for about 5-15 minutes

    The first two times it happened, I would like to re start the computer and I would get the Bios screen, but when she reaches the windows screen it would go black. for about 3 minutes. Then everything would be fine.

    Now, I get the black screen as soon as I turn on the computer it stays black for about ten to fifteen minutes. It arises suddenly, all on its own.

    Ive tried... Hardware and software updates, including windows. Ive tried cache ram, flushing, Ive tried unplugging, stall everything and reconnect. Ive tried to use another monitor. Uninstall all antivirus software. Ive tried to adjust the boot parameters.  Ive tried to adjust the resolution of the screen.

    I don't know what to do?

    Hey everybody,

    Update!

    Eventually the monitor never returned.  So it was out of service until I fixed it.

    Several hours in my resolution of problems, I discovered the problem.   The "monitor Extra I was using was nonfuctional out of the box" once I realized that I concentrated on the screen itself.  With a little research in my monitor (formerly broken), I discovered that there are problems with capacitor.

    Of course once I opened the monitor, two of the capacitors had jumps/bulging upward.  So they had blown... It was a slow burn.  So, as I used it, the capacitor lost ability to work...  So I replaced two capacitors with a bit of sodering. Turn the monitor together and TADA!  Monitor is fully functional.

    In case you're wondering the monitor that I use is a Samsung (apparently a lot of capacitor problems in its monitors) model 906BW.

    Also, I guess I should of mentioned that this is not a laptop. Its a desktop computer.

    Confirmed FIX: Replacing two capacitors bulged/jumps inside the monitor.

  • Black screen when starting my Satellite C

    When I turn on my laptop it shows the usual Toshiba screen with the option of choosing F2 or F12, (none of them helped) the next screen is all black with the cursor blinking in the upper left corner. Nothing else happens after that. I let (hoping it'll work) but just becomes market and repeats the process.

    Any help will be really appreciated helpline Toshiba are now very usefully closed until Monday when I'm at work!

    Thank you

    I got a cursor blinking in the upper left also, and in my case, the HARD drive was dead.
    After replacing HARD drive, I was able to install the new OS and can start the operating system properly.

    Must check if the HARD drive is ok.

    Hi Celestyna,

    It is possible that some element of start-up or third-party program installed on the computer is at the origin of time start delay.
    I suggest you perform the clean boot procedure and check.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Perform the check and the clean boot if you have the problem.

    1. click on start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click continue.
    2. in the general tab, click Selective startup.
    3. under Selective startup, clear the Load Startup items check box.
    4. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click disable all.
    5. click on OK.
    6. When you are prompted, click on restart.
    7. after the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.

    If the problem is resolved to check what is the cause of the problem, referring to the link given below:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Reset the computer to start as usual
    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:
    Click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

  • black screen when starting games

    I have a hp pavilion dv 7 7004sl. recently when I try to open most of the games that the video does not start. the computer becomes just a black screen with sound play in the background. I checked for reqs game and my computer is way beyond recomanded ones. a have an ideea of how to solve this problem? (installed video drivers from hp.com for two video cards).

    I solved part of the problem. It seems that this had nothing to do with the drivers. I changed the settings of the video card 3d intel and I managed to make the games work with the video card intel. now, I have to just find a way to set options for the nvidia 3d video card. I will return with precision if I managed to make it work, the performance of the game are much better with this one.
