  I have redownloaded a game that has been previously loaded on my computer, now I get this error when you try to play the game "Memory Access Violation".

  Your sound card that is more than adequate.
  If the game was previously installed and worked fine then maybe it is not been completely uninstalled.

• E5 - 573G laptop 56RG breaks down when you try to play a game with the Nvidia GeForce 940 M processor.

  Whenever I try to play a game using the Nvidia card on the laptop Aspire E5 56RG - 573 G computer goes to a blue screen and gives the error "Video_Schedular_Internal_error" before restarting.

  All the games that I tried to run by using the processor 940 m 7200LE crashed the PC.

  Minecraft, Star Trek Online, dungeons and Dragons Online and Neverwinter all crash as soon as the game is loading all the graphics. All the games work very well using the processor 5500 on-board Intel HD graphics but way less detailed than the 940 m from Nvidia is capable of.

  I've updated to the latest Nvidia drivers twice now (Oct and Nov references) with the help of installs clean. I also tried the Nvidia driver on the support page from Acer for the serial number of this PC. I've updated to the last update of the bios on the page of Support as well. Again, the PC crashes when you try to play a game using the Nvidia graphics processor.

  My operating system is windows 10.

  Most of the error information I could find said it is a driver problem or I have a faulty video card. Any suggestion or help would be appreciated.

  Cerealkiddo on Nvidia forums has found a real solution to the problem.

  1. download MSI Afterburner.

  2. change the base to-13 clock and clock from memory to-15.

  3. save in a profile and apply the changes.

  Make sure you only keep afterburner running everything at stake.

  https://forums.GeForce.com/default/topic/901903/GeForce-mobile-GPUs/940m-BSOD-issues-w-Optimus-on-Wi...

  This is Underclocks not GPU slightly and stops the BSOD hangs.

  I played Skyrim for about 4 hours now maxed out graphic with map selected Nvidia and he collapsed once, while before this fix, it would break the pc after 2 minutes of play on any parameter using the nvidia card.

  Keep Afterburner running everything at stake. I turned it off to test and games went immediately to crashing after a few minutes of play. He turned back and was able to play games once again without any problems.

  Startup Repair: frequently asked questions

  Here are answers to some common questions about startup repair.

  What is the Startup Repair?

  Startup Repair is a Windows Recovery tool that can fix certain problems, such as system files missing or damaged, that might prevent Windows from starting correctly. When you run the Startup Repair, it scans your computer for the problem and then tries to fix it so that your computer can start correctly.

  If you experience problems when you attempt to run the Startup Repair tool, or if your computer does not have the Startup Repair, your computer manufacturer can have customized or replaced the tool. See the documentation provided with your computer or go to the manufacturer's Web site.

  How to use Startup Repair?

  Startup Repair is located on the System Recovery Options menu, which is on the Windows installation disc. Startup Repair can also be installed on your drive hard if your computer has preinstalled recovery options. Startup Repair can invite you to make choices as it tries to solve the problem, and if necessary, it may restart your computer, because it makes the repairs.

  If you have a Windows installation disc:

  1. Insert the installation disc. If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer.

  2. Restart your computer.

     Click the Start button, click the arrow next to the button lock and then click on restart.

  3. Choose your language settings, and then click Next.

  4. Click on repair your computer.

  5. Select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.

  6. In the System Recovery Options menu, click Startup Repair.

  If your computer has preinstalled recovery options:

  1. Remove all floppy disks, CDs and DVDs from your computer and restart your computer.

     Click the Start button, click the arrow next to the button lock and then click on restart.

  2. Do one of the following:

     • If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you need to try again.

     • If your computer has more than one operating system, use the arrow keys to select the operating system you want to repair, and then press and hold F8.

  3. In the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to highlight repair your computer and press ENTER.

  4. Select a keyboard layout, and then click Next.

  5. Select a user name and password, and then click OK.

  6. In the System Recovery Options menu, click Startup Repair.

  Are there problems Startup Repair cannot fix?

  Startup Repair cannot fix hardware failures or certain types of virus attacks. It is not a backup tool, so it cannot help you recover personal files, such as photos or documents. To help protect your computer, back up your system and your files regularly. For more information, search for "backup" in Help and Support.

  What happens if startup repair is unable to solve my problem?

  If the repairs are not successful, you will see a summary of the problem and links to contact for support information. Your computer manufacturer may include additional support information.

• How to disable the left Alt key as the taskbar pop-ups when you try to play the game then press the left Alt key

  Original title: left disabling Alt Taskbar pop-up Menu window

  Hello

  I have problems with the taskbar. Every time I tap my left Alt key twice, then left Alt + (1-6) a context menu appears. It's the same thing as right click a tab on your taskbar for anyone who is struggling to recreate my problem. Right Alt does not cause this problem.

  It is very bad news for me as the focus of changes in context menu of what I do. I play video games in my free time and have game left keybinds for Alt + 1,2 & 3. I will support on these keybinds quickly all while playing. This will cause the context menu for taskbar activate and I'll be tabbed out of my game.

  I searched for weeks trying to solve this problem and I have not found any that is worked. I tried to disable the jump lists. I tried to change the registry for a right click on the taskbar. I saw patches of this forum and several others and nothing I found works.

  Recently, I contacted Microsoft to the it Department by phone and said they knew exactly how to fix this and if I have to pay $50 to one of their technicians have to connect to my computer that they would have this problem corrected in the blink of an eye. I find this limit extortion honestly and I hope someone had this problem and can provide steps on fixing it.

  Thank you

  Ryan LeBlanc

  Thank you for your answer, but the answer you provided is for a question that is different from what I was living. Your link has solved a problem with someone who has the taskbar pop up when their mouse/cursor passes over. My problem was to have a drop down of the taskbar appear whenever I type left Alt + 1/2/3/4 etc.

  However, I have since fixed. If there is anyone else out there with this problem, it's a hardware problem with my keyboard. I couldn't get anyone to recreate my problem by pressing left Alt + 1, etc. (although you can recreate my problem to click with the right button on a program in the task bar), so I reset my left Alt key. After resetting my left Alt key this problem does occur more (yay)

  Thank you

• run-time error when you try to play new worlds of star trek

  When I try to play new worlds of star trek, I get a runtime error and the game ends.  I tried to put the game as if it was on windows 95, but when I try to play the game then he ask for me to use the original cd, but the original cd is in the cd tray already.  I tried to locate the support of the game website, but I guess that since the game is kind of old they do not support for it more.  Right now I am running the beta of windows 7, but I don't know if it perhaps is the problem or not.  I also searched areas of windows tech support anything on errors, but nothing shows up on my type of runtime error.

  frankster195,
  The game worked on this computer under another operating system?  If you have a Core duo, it may not work on it.  Also try different compatibility modes, not only of Windows 95.  Try all of them - I have heard that some people got to work in NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 mode.  Try searching the Internet using the exact phrase that you put in your header post - you'll find forums for players who might have solutions for you.  Let us know if this helped, or if you still need help.
