  • Can not play the game of Mahjong MJWIN on Windows 7

    I have Windows Vista on my laptop. I have MJWIN Mahjong transferred to a floppy disk 3 1/2 "on my USB key, on a computer in local library Win XB or Win 7. Successfully, I opened and played the game of the stick on the library computer to verify that it worked. Got home and plugged into my laptop which then displays only some files and without their .exe or .tis or other suffixes. 3 - letter.  A box of* appeared saying that Windows could not open the files. The 2 options have been no help. I was able to play this game even from the memory stick, a couple of years, when I got this computer, but since I had it cleaned out a bunch of virus approximately a year later (that has accumulated me over a period quite unbeknownst) I can't play the game more than the stick. The game was also removed from the computer during the cleanup, but not because of the virus removal.  Viruses were not in the stick or on the diskette. What should I do to play the game? What files can I convert (like the kind of dialog suggested*)? Although I shouldn't really need to because as I said earlier, I could play the stick when I bought the camera, and when I down load at the time of the stick.  I can't download this time of the stick, just play the stick.

    Hello

    1. who is the creator of the game Mahjong?
    2. from which site did you download this game?
    3. were you able to play these games on vista?
    4 "Windows could not open the file" which is the full and exact error message?

    Please answer these questions that might help us helping you better.

  • Satellite A60: Can't play good games like the Sims 2

    Hello.
    I have a satellite A60 and im having problems with my display driver.

    I have the latest updates on everything, but I still can't play good games. Even the Sims 2 will slow down.

    Idecided to a cooler on the ati chipset (like some toshiba models) but I can't seem to put on, although his decision-making in the right place.

    so my question is:
    Why the video display is so slow? make my processor always on 99%
    Why the chipset cooling fan does not work?

    Thank you

    Hey Buddy

    I think you have misunderstood something. This issue has nothing to do with the version of the graphics driver you know?

    AFAIK the A60 Sat came with an ATI graphics card that supports only 32-64 MB shared memory!
    It is simply down to play new games with maximum performance!
    The graphics card shared graphics memory for main memory and this reduces the amount of main memory.

    Last but not least the CPU always runs with maximum performance during game!
    The CPU is highly requested, play games or run other applications of high performance.
    Who is normal!

    As a general rule, it allows to uninstall completely all the previous versions of Flash Player before installing a new one.  See the following articles:

  • My pavilion g6 screen can't play 3D games is amd 4g ram window 8.1

    My pavilion g6 screen is fluctating when I formatted, it stop when the window is updated the exist.but problem can not now playing 3D games is amd 4g ram window 8.1

    I offer this suggestion.

    If you ask a help, it is best to register the exact model number or product number.  Probably your G6 is unable to do as you want, because it's a laptop with limited capabilities. Then, without your model number exact number/product, it is difficult to know.

    You said:

    (1) "my screen pavilion g6 is fluctating when I formatted it"... why format you the disk? ".

    (92) ' it stop when the window is updated to the existence of the problem "... what stops?
