  • How can I stop there being a bunch of blurry color horizontally across my screen on computer games?

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Ideas: Hello, ALL my computer games have lines on them, kind of like a band Blur in the middle of the screen. and besides, when I start the computer, the symbol of microsoft has vertical dark lines through it. I was able to play all these games in the past (and microsoft symbol is not used to have dark lines through it) and I get no error message whatsoever. I don't know much about computers and it would be helpful if you explained what I have to do.  have you encountered this problem before? because I searched for a long time on the internet to find someone who has had the same problems!  my computer is a microsoft windows xp service pack 3 home addition, my system manufacturer is Dell and it's a 2002 version.  Thank you

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    Hi Asmoses,

    This problem may occur if the display drivers are corrupt or there is a problem with the monitor. I suggest to uninstall it completely from your computer display drivers and install the latest drivers thereafter by accessing the computer manufacturer's website and check if it helps.

    Also to uninstall the drivers from Device Manager. During the uninstallation, the device in the Device Manager, make sure that you follow the steps below:

    1. click on start.

    2 access control panel > system > hardware > Device Manager.

    3. open Device Manager and expand the graphics card.

    4. Select the graphics card and uninstall the device.

    During the uninstallation of the brand of the device, of course, you place a check mark against 'delete the driver for this device '.

    You can also try to update the drivers for your graphics card in the Device Manager and check if it helps. Access the link below and follow the steps to update the drivers.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isn ' t-work correctly

    If you have another monitor, you can try to connect the computer and check if it displays the same way and post back the result.

    I hope this helps. Let us know the results.

    Thank you and best regards,

  • Once I downloaded the new version of Adobe Flash Player 11.3.300.262, I can not play games with my friends on Yahoo Messenger.

    It could be a coincidence, but when I upgraded to the latest version of Adobe Flash Player 11.3.300.262 I can not play games with my friends on Yahoo Messenger. I know that when I've updated for a reason that I had to try 3 times before it took. It shows that it is updated. I wonder if I have to uninstall and reinstall. Also, I never use Internet Explorer 8 but when I went there to check I found a plug check link there and it showed over there that Adobe Flash Player necessary update but it was an older version and not a Foxfire had updated me too. Now I'm really confused if it causes a problem. I've never had to control Internet Explorer for plug-ins before. Have always just updated to Foxfire since that's what I use. Adobe Flash Player seems to play videos OK not really sure if this is the issue or not. My Java plug-ins have been very well and have been updated some time there, so I know it's not that. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

    Hey again,
    After hours of reading and checking to make sure I had good things enabled, I did, I gave up and uninstalled the latest version of Adobe Flash Player, they gave me and re-installed and later I had my friend get on Messenger and we tried games and it worked this time.
    For some strange reason when I updated it took me 3 tries before it took. So even if he told me that it has been installed, apparently it wasn't really. Just goes to show you that you can not trust what you see.
    What has really scratching my head was I went to Internet Explorer 8, which I never use more and discovered you can now get Mozilla plug in slip out there and when I did showed that same Adobe Flash Player is outdated but it was to a different version. Not knowing if it would help, I installed a new too and he said it was his understanding that it does not. So I guess you can have 1 version installed on the computer 1 despite 2 browsers different different versions. It becomes too complicated for me. Laughing out loud!
    I work with computers all the time at work but not the technical stuff. If it's something simple, I can guess through it to help someone but it's my first personal computer for me and is a former first, so I got experience using different types. We use the desk at work as well. Personally, I like computers laptops for various reasons. And the mention of people many browsers go way over my head.
    Please answer this question though and you answer back.

  • Can I play games like Counter strike on Satellite L300d-11V

    Hello

    My Satellite L300D-11-v can play games like counter strike source?
    I installed, but they are unplayable.

    Any help please?
    U can change graphics shared in the Bios?

    Hello!

    I think that a Satellite L300 is not the laptop to play new games like Counter Strike Source. The Qosmio series is perfect for play.

    You have the latest graphics driver? Do not play on the higher quality settings, set it to medium or low.

    And if you buy a computer game on the back of the packaging are the required configuration. So that you can see if it s able to play (good) on your laptop.

  • Windows Vista and older computer games

    Will be a Windows vista compatibility for Windows 95/98/2000 computer game?

    Hello lordst3ph3n,

    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Community Forum.

    This a Yes/No/maybe answer.  Most of the software, games included, works with vista, and has very few questions, as appropriate.   However, some are not entirely compatible.  To check if your games is comapatible with Vista please visit the compatibility web site:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/

    If the game is he listed as compatible, you're all set.  If it is listed as not compatible, you will either need to contact the manufacturer of the game for all possible patches or it will be inconsistent and you will not be able to play at all.  If the game is not listed either, then it simply means that he hsaa was not tested yet and it could very well be compatible.  In this case, I would try to install / them and see if it works.  Alternatively, you can try to run the exeutable for the game in one of the compatibility modes listed in the properties of the executable file of the game.

    Thank you

  • How can I keep game and separate music Apple iTunes?

    Hello

    How can I keep iTunes game (library iCloud) and Apple music separate on the same Apple ID?

    The last time I tried the Apple music it completely messed my library of music (songs missing, poorly titled songs, unplayable songs, wrong album art, stripped playlists etc etc). But it was at the beginning, at the launch of Apple's music. I like to give him another chance for a month or two, but I really don't want to spend months rebuilding my library again if things go so wrong for a second time.

    I have a back up and this is what saved the last time, but this isn't really the point...

    Hello

    We cannot dissociate iTunes Apple's music game because they both use the same iCloud music library.

    As it has already been associated with your library, the inclusion of Apple's music should be transparent. Music Apple now use the same audio fingerprint matching as iTunes game. The main change you see is access to Apple's music library. Your existing music will continue to be shown as 'matched', 'transferred' or 'buy' but music downloaded music Apple will have a status of ICloud 'Music to Apple'. DRM no longer applies to your own music used on other computers or devices.

    In addition, you can leave your game iTunes subscription expire you will continue to get the same benefits with Apple's music.

    Personally, I've added music Apple when it was introduced and have had real problems, only a few hiccups.
