Can I play Xbox 360 games on my computer that has Windows8?
I have a laptop that has Windows8 - there a few XBox games - I was wondering if I can play XBox360 games on this computer
No, you can play XBOX on PC game discs. The games that you see are games that will establish a connection with your XBOX Live account and you give points and rewards, but you cannot just put a XBOX disc into your player and play. It will always take and XBOX 360 for that.

Can I play Xbox 360 games on my Windows Vista laptop?
From: Scott
I just got a new laptop because my old is dead and it is running vista and it has a socket to plug a x box 360 control in and theres all this hype x box 360 and vista together so I was wondering, that would happen if I stick a 360 game disc in the computer. so, what would I be able to play this match as if it were a x box 360 with a computer instead of a TV screen or it would destroy my laptop I need to know. I mean I'd be pised if I went and spent the money on a 360 and then discovered that I could have just played on my computer.
To put it simply, can I play a box x / x box 360 game on my laptop.
From: Dale M. White
Simple answer No
Longer answer, no. Xbox306 games are written for PowerPC, which if I remember correctly a RISC based chips and Intels\AMDs are CISC based chips.
The excitement of Xbox360 and Vista, was more in the sense to implement the sharing of multimedia files and at some point, but always on paper. Set up the games between a PC and a Player X 360, through their Xbox live, to talk to inluce to link your xbox live with the X 360 has.

Every time I play a video game on my computer crashes. How to solve this problem or better to diagnose the problem? Sometimes when I play a video game in the steam.
Windows 7
64 bitHP e9300zProcessor: AMD Athlon II processor 4 620 X 2.60 GhzRAM: 4 GBGraphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 220It does not give me an error message simply stops and restarts auto.When it reboots it just tells me that Windows has stopped unexpectedly.First - check that you have the latest drivers for your motherboard chipset, your video device, your audio device and your network devices. The first place to look for those who are on the Web site for your computer model & specific brand:
http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=4148392&LC=en&cc=us&DLC=en&lang=en&cc=us
When you select your operating system (Windows 7 64-bit) I see that HP ony supplies those who they provided with the system originally. It's practically worthless.
Yes, where to from here? I would say that you should at least install the latest video card driver - as more modern games can use those strongly...
http://www.nvidia.com/object/Win7-WinVista-64bit-301.42-WHQL-driver.html
Download and install it. If possible, you still have the original driver installed - this is more recent than most 30 months.
It's an AMD 785 G chipset card mother configuration, if their site is correct. Looks like you can download and install latest drivers from AMD for this also:
http://support.AMD.com/us/gpudownload/Windows/pages/raid_windows.aspx
I'd say it's a good start.
What else? It could very well be a heat problem. Since it is a desktop - I suggest she get everything, buy some canned air for cleaning electronices and opening of this case and blow off any dust. It can be quite the accumulation. After blowing out, make sure that all the components that look like they 'plug' firmly/well connected. Carefully. Then, put the cover on and connect.
Make sure that there is enough air around the case - put a fan in front of him if you have to.

I have a computer that has Windows 2000 Pro, I can use the disk to upgrade to Windows XP with this OS? It's
an old computer, but it works very well. I want to switch to XP using the Windows upgrade disc. But
in the specifications it lists only 98, 98 Second and ME as an operating system you can upgrade. Thanks John
Provided the specifications of the computer meets Windows XP you can switch from 2000 to XP. If it does not meet the specifications, you may upgrade the computer first or get a new one which is more cheaper today.
In addition, please note that you can only switch to Windows XP Professional. If it is a home edition you have then it will not work. You can refer to the link below on how to update your copy of Windows 2000 to Windows XP Pro.

Can not connect to Windows 8 on a computer that cannot connect to the internet
Hello. I have a complex version of a common problem. I can't connect to Windows 8 on a computer that I've not used within six months. The following conditions apply.
1. I forgot the password which was used last on this computer to turn off the line connection
2. unable to get the computer online because the only modern it might connect to a fried.3. it is a Vaio Duo and has no Ethernet port.
4. I don't care about the data, so don't mind wiping clean but I don't want to pay for the office. Computer has no hard drive, so I can't restore the BONES of the disks.
What would you suggest here?
Thanks for any help
Hello
Please provide an opportunity to help Microsoft Community.
If you do not remember the password, you can try to reset the password online. You can use Internet Explorer to reset the password for the Microsoft Account.
Open Internet Explorer on another computer, and then try to reset the Microsoft Account password by following the steps in the link below.
Forgotten password and other connection problems
As mentioned you use computer Vaio Duo which I checked comes pre-installed with Windows 8.
If the Windows operating system comes pre-installed on the laptop, then you will need to contact the manufacturer of the system for the installation media that allows you to update or reset the settings of the computer.
Of the manufacturer of the system provides a built in utility to repair the operating system which is known as system recovery partition, I ask you to contact you the Sony Support for more information on how to refresh/reset the settings of the computer.
Please visit the link provided below for support from Sony:

Hope that the information provided is useful. We know the results.
