CIV V doesn't throw and dxdiag will not work.
I'm one of the (many) people who cannot launch Civ V. I installed it as good of the steam and out of the box and it will not just run. It is not even really trying; He takes me to the screen that allows you to choose the version of directx 9 or directx 10/11. No matter who I choose, it blocks immediately.
When I tried to solve the problems, I've updated all my drivers and attempted to run dxdiag. The exact message I get is:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\dxgi.dll is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try to install the program by using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the provider of software for support.
Note that this is similar to an error, I met once or twice when troubleshooting civ V and try to open the program in unorthodox way.
Help, please! This match was expensive and now that I have opened I don't know they won't let me go back lol.
(DELL OEM) update:
Win 7 64 bit, GTS 260 (version 1.8 GB), memory at 1333 mhz 9 GB triple channel i7-920 processor, something like a TB of disk space available. I am running two monitors, but I made some of my troubleshooting when executing only one. 2 k games/farxis/steam all want to point to someone else and no one actually wants the responsibility for the product and help me.

Hi, I bought a the United States iphone6, im now in South Africa and it will not work. It says sim not supported.how do I fix this?
The SIM card is not support indicates that the iPhone is locked to the American carrier that it has been activated with. In order to obtain the released lock it is necessary that you talk to the carrier to find out what their requirements are to release the lock. They are the only ones who unlock it so that it can be used with another carrier.

I just updated my iPad and it told me to activate it using my Apple ID. I entered my Apple ID and it will not work. Help please
There seems to be a problem, especially with older devices. And I guess that's the end of Apple since it affects both.
You can try to use iTunes to restore your device from a backup

Or you could wait it out and see if Apple fixes things.

I bought my Gateway laptop that incorporates a webcam, and it will not work, did not work as I had. How can I solve this problem?
Have you contacted technical support Gateway? http://support.gateway.com/us/en/support/default.aspx
If for some reason you can't do that, more information about what you mean by "will not work" would be useful - how you try to use it (in an application provided by gateway, Skype, etc.) and what (error?) when you try?

I followed the instructions on the screen to download firefox 4.0. After the launch of the dmg image in the window of firefox dmg is the symbol of firefox with a "do not go" symbol on it (for example as a sign of the universal movement for "don't go this way" - red red circle with a diagonal line). "
Copied on ANYWAY - which was stupid - and he says: "Cannot open the application"Firefox"because it is not supported on this system."
I couldn't find documentation saying my OS has not been supported by firefox 4.0.
Is there away around this problem?
Firefox 4 will not work on OS X 10.4, it requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.
There is an accumulation of third party that runs under OS X 10.4 and Mac PPC, for more details, see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox

I have a newish Vista Home Premium 64 NB and HAD no problem playing games, I played on my DT Pro XP until a few weeks ago. Now, when I go to open games, windows tells me that "there is a problem and needs to close the game" and "If a solution can be" it will inform me! Using compatibility, updated drivers, uninstalling and reinstalling have not worked. I do not understand why they worked very well and now they do not? Anyone have any ideas? It looks like my Direct X? changed to 32 bits, for some reason any-is it a problem? The Direct X is 64-bit? I also notice that it is very skittish about some other applications that I try to DL as well now - IE Puran Defrag. Thank you

Boot Camp keyboard and trackpad will not work. They do in Fusion

I have a problem with my VM ware / boot camp of activation. I have a Boot Camp partition on my Macbook Pro. I am able to boot the disc using the fusion, but when I try to use Boot Camp coming to the windows activation screen and my keyboard and mouse do not work so I can't press the button to continue. I tried to boot into safe mode on boot camp and the keyboard and mouse are not recognized either. I tried to plug in a keyboard and a USB mouse generic and is not no longer works. I am running XP pro (not OEM version).
Does anyone have any suggestions on a cure?
Hi tsugua,
This sounds like it may be more than one Apple, or Microsoft problem. However, my recommendation would be to ensure that the leopard drivers have been properly installed. To install the insert drivers your Leopard installation disc and run the setup.exe if is not autorun. So, make sure you run software updates of the Mac OS to ensure you have the latest version of the Bootcamp drivers.
Let me know if this helps.

I thought I had a virus on my Internet explore and the tech in the street guy told me to download firefox and remove internet Explorer. When I did it, firefox will not load but shows up in my task manager everytime I try to open it. My computer is very slow now and firefox does not open...
Sometimes my computer is running slow also. If Firefox will do it, see if you can download internet explorer from there, but as you said that it was slow, it might take some time.

Audio and USB will not work on Sony vpceb2s3c.
Original title: help looking for drivers please
Hi im having an absolute Mare!
I have a Chinese built laptop sony vpceb2s3c (pcg - 71211t) with 7 home premium
the lappy had a h.d fgaulty ive succeeded him and installed 7 Home premium 64-bit
drivers im faced with are audio and usb
is the audio hardware id: HDAUDIO\FUNC_01 & VEN_1002 & DEV_AA01 & SUBSYS_104D4600 & REV_1002
now, this seems to be for ati hdmi driver 6.0.1.6121 that I tried but does not work, ive tried to use genius driver, Driver Verifier, and magician pilot with no luck. Ive tried a sony driver, called audio_hdmi 6.0.1.5992
They both install fine but the lappy does not recognize an installed audio device, the generic microsoft driver does not work either
for usb I'm not sure what is wrong, as the left hand esata port side works very well I can put my usb pen in and it works fine. There are 3 right of the lappy usb ports which do not at all, in Device Manager I have:
generic usb hub
generic usb hub
Intel 5 series/3400 series chipset family usb enhanced controller b 3, 34
Intel 5 series/3400 series chipset family usb enhanced controller 3b3c
USB root hub
USB root hub
I guess that's 2 generics that are the problem, ive tried to reinstall only the infinst911autol file from intel, but it does not work properly, it is said it will install, but seems to be almost instantly makes me think, he's not doing things
ive tried sony China pilot site but cannot find software downloads, drivers
any help would be great, thanks in advance
Hi daz,.
If you get a 404 error trying to download the drivers, you can contact the seller to see if they will send the version you need from you.

Flashes orange and no lights on the front panel next to the USB ports. (see amber light on motherboard, power button / stop 15 sec + he disappears, but the computer does not start, a few times the fan turned on couple seconds), initially it used to go in the cycle (starts for about 3-5 seconds and stops) several times and the flashing yellow light.
If I unplug the power cord for a day + and try, it worked, stop and restart immediately worked too but when I shutdown and come after a few hours, it will not start again (power plugged).
Disconnect the power supply for a day + new and it worked once tried.I did the reset by pressing the power button / 15 sec + but no luck. Until a day + unplugged worked so far about three times will try again tomorrow and see what happens if I don't stop the computer ever.
What a PSU or of the motherboard problem or some other problem? Hope it can be fixed.

A flashing orange power LED, usually indicates a power supply problem power, given the age of the Dimension 9200, which is highly likely.
Try to replace the power supply with a power supply of labour "Known", to see if that makes a difference.
This system does not use an exclusive power of Dell, you can install most power supply ATX with a power connector 24 pin or 20 + 4 pin main motherboard and this can be purchased in most local computer stores, or online.
The 9200 has a rear panel open, a diet with or without the on/off switch can be installed.
Note: You need a PSU with six SATA power connectors.
Otherwise, you can buy a refurbished Dell OEM [Dell P/N KH624] 375w PSU from here:

On my laptop, conversion of Windows 8 to 10 was fine and Thunderbird has worked without any problems. On the computer of my wife who was on Windows 7, Thunderbird does not work. Thanks to this forum I could check that all emails and addresses etc. have been copied across, but Thunderbird asks me to put in place the new account because it does not acknowledge my previous POP and other parameters. Bloody Microsoft. Can anyone help?
I have found the answer - default (why?) I was connected as administrator and therefore was not seeking the e-mail account of my wife in the same way as it would. The search in all the files and directories of profile TB, I found a test directory, where TB was given to me. Do not know what other tricks that I solved the problem, but it is all working now. And people spend their entire lives on such things?
