game controls

can I use a control for the games instead of a mouse

Hi cammieee

Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

Yes, you can use the other modes that the mouse to control a game. According to the game, the control options will be different. Most of the game will have both

options to control the mouse and keyboard. Not all games have the ability to control using the Joystick or a gamepad. However the high end that are compatible for games

run on Windows 7 with gamepads or a gamepad control options should provide that it is supported by your computer.

For compatibility of all the games to run on Windows 7 or any other software-hardware compatibility I suggest you go to the link below for the Windows 7 Compatibility Center as many pilots is still in testing phase.

  • Re: Cannot use arrow keys when playing flash games

    Someone had this problem? The arrow keys on my keyboard do not work when I play flash games. Have downloaded the latest version of adobe, but not luck. Is it sounds like a hardware problem? What is the best way to thing to work around this problem?

    Thanks for any response.

    Post edited by: terrypal

    For me it has nothing to do with a malfunction of the equipment. If you can use the arrow keys in Windows or any application there absolutely no problem with the keyboard or something similar.

    Maybe is this result of the issue of the restriction of game control.

    Hello
     
     
    1. have you made changes on the computer recently?
    2 do you have this game never properly run on your computer?

    Method 1.
    Check if it is set to the correct resolution. Before starting the game controls the display settings in the game.
    In addition, you can try to change the hardware acceleration and then check. Here's how:
    a. right click on a space empty on the desktop.
    b. go to the resolution of the screen.
    c. click Advanced settings, and then click the "troubleshooting."
    d. set the hardware acceleration in the middle. (You will get the option only if your video card supports).

    Method 2.
    Another possibility could be a third-party application is at the origin of the conflict.
    See the article below for instructions on how to start your computer in a clean boot state.

  • Someone there suggested sites I can download PC games that are compatible with an Xbox 360 controller.

    I want to try the game on my PC and or laptop before buy you not on my Xbox 360. I'm having a very hard time finding anything. I know that I can try the game on my Xbox for free, but I don't know if the game works with the Microsoft Xbox 360 wireless controller, on both the Xbox and my PC.

    It has nothing to with such sites to download, and for several years (since the beginning of "Games for Windows") the XBOX controller has (unfortunately for some use that do not use the XBOX controller) the configuration of the default controller for the most part, or at least, many games.

    A quick search shows-
    Why the XBOX controller is not compatible with some games (pre monopoly$ oft games for windows for the most part).
    http://www.giantbomb.com/Xbox-360-controller-support-for-PC/92-2465/
    I noticed that some XBOX controllers are advertised as being a PC version. This may be due to the version of PC with different software than the controller for XBOX
    http://www.Microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/p/Xbox-360-controller-for-Windows

    A bit of XBOX to the propaganda of the PC-
    http://www.xboxcontrollerforpc.NET/

    What really boils down to is change the key assignments to suit you via options settings for games 'control' or make a profile using the software supplied with the controller.
    Controllers that have their own Win7 compatible profiling software will work with any game. It's just a matter of a few minutes to assign buttons for the commands.
    Logitech controllers will work with any PC game like him having Xinput and support a direct entry (monopoly$ oft's foray into PC games made a little less friendly user with some games).

    I know you probably are used to the XBOX controller and can save money.
    no controller for FPS and action games, beats a mouse and a keyboard for accuracy.
    Keyboards are also best for RPG and other games with many orders.
    Personally, I never liked using a keyboard, so I use the command style - Logitech G13 is the
    better yet. The Belkin Nostromo n52 and n52te, are good for. It is more comfortable to have the keys online, and the control stick on the G13 works well also.

    If you are looking for simple plug-and-play gaming console is the best option of game. PC offers more versatility for those who don't mind tweaking.

  • Apple music stuck on Shuffle

    Hello, my wife and I share an account Apple music family and while she can use his account, she can't listen to the albums as they are taken, she receives only the "random" option on his iPhone. Is there a setting she or I'm missing? Only the primary account holder Gets the opportunity to listen to albums as shown?

    Hi Grizzeg,

    Yes, she gets full access to play songs on the music of Apple. It seems random to me turned on and I can help you turn off.

    Start by making up the screen of playing in the music app. To do this, start playing a song and tap the miniplayer at the bottom of the screen. It will look at the screenshots below.

    This will bring up the screen play underway, as shown below.


    From there, you should see play down controls and can hit the shuffle button until it's off. Then the songs will not play in random order.

    More details on the game controls are in the link below.

  • Satellite L450D-11v screen no longer works

    Hiya,

    A few days ago, I noticed that my laptop would go is no longer in any mode of power options, then I started to get Flash on the screen until the screen is empty. I have to press the power button to turn it back on again but the problem persists.

    I turned the brightness drops off at the lowest option and stopped flickering and is no longer turns off. This went on for a day then the problem continued. Everything works fine and I can see the images on the screen, but it is very very low.

    I was wondering if it should be to replace the inverter Board? I had a quick glance and everything seems correct, no wires don't loose or liquid damage, but it appreciates some advice before buying one if it's the correct option to do what I replaced my laptop, but if I can get it working again without him cost a lot of money, it is not worth to spend I can use it as a backup.

    Much appreciated,

    > Everything works fine and I can see the images on the screen, but it is very very low.

    For me, this looks like FL inverter question.
    It s a game controlling the backlight of the display.
    Recommend to ask a technician for laptop to check this small part and replace if its really defective.

  • Can someone tell me how to change the random setting when playing iTunes on my iPad Pro?

    I am playing iTunes on my iPad Pro and may not know how to change random playback settings.  I see the taskbar shuffle just above the playlist with a shuffle icon.  But touching this icon seems truly random for a different song rather than change the setting.  Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Hey zip66215,

    I understand you want to learn more about the playback controls for the application of the music on your iPad. I can help you with that.

    Generally, you will begin to see a list of your music and when you play a song, the mini-Player will appear at the bottom of different tabs of the music app. If you type the mini Player, it will bring to the top of the current playback with all different game controls screen. From there, you can repeat and shuffle settings. Take a look at the screen shots to learn more of what I am referring to the as well as research and the link below.

  • Compaq Presario C700 video card

    I have a Compaq Presario C700 computer laptop (C769US) and I was wondering if I would be able to upgrade the video card to play Fallout 3, that I bought yesterday. The card that is here right now is 'Intel 965 Chipset family' or something of the kind.

    I would like to put this here: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8761878&type=product&id=1202650704648

    It will go? My father said something about PCI and AGP, I don't know how to find out if mine is PCI.

    Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    -Chris

    If you put beside the video card laptop I think that you see that there is no way to put it there. The video card is almost as large as the laptop. We receive a few tons of these posts here these days. But the answer has not changed. There is no upgrade for your video that is remotely possible in this life on this planet. Cannot be done, no cases in any way. The video is a chip that is soldered to the motherboard with the set traces to work only with this specific chip. Even the best ubertech with mad fine welding skills could not do anything else's work. When you buy a laptop get the graph and the processor you want and need for now and the future. If you need something better it means a new laptop not a level 98% of the time. When you buy a game controls the minimum requirements and see if your computer can meet.

    Sorry if I sound a little harsh but as I said we get 2 or 3 of these questions every day and I blame the computer manufacturers (HP, for example) and retailers such as Best Buy for not educating the public about what they are buying.
