Games keep minimizing in windows 7

For some games (I'll use network driver for an example), it launches, but then keep minimizing himself and crashing or opening again and then crashing. I tried to run in compatibility with windows XP and Vista, but continues to be the same thing. I also tried running as administrator, but it does not help wither. Those games were while I was with windows XP, and my computer's hardware has not changed either.
Any help would be nice :)

Hello Zack.

I solved the problem with my computer. This isn't windows 7, but it was just my dying graphics card. Very timely, I might add.
in any case, I replaced the graphics card, and everything seems to work smoothly.

Thanks for your help Zack, because the link you provided helped me to identify this problem.

Continue with the good work mate

  • Satellite L855 - trackpad keeps freezing on Windows 8

    Double boots L855 - 11 p, with clean installed Windows 7 and 8, the two drivers up to date. Windows 7 works perfectly but the trackpad keeps freezing on Windows 8.

    When you use the trackpad, that the cursor suddenly crashes to the screen. I have to take my finger on the pad and put it back on until the cursor starts to move. It does not seem be any model especially when it happens, but it's very common, two or three times per minute.

    Windows reports the driver under the version 16.2.10.15 of the 16.08.2012; the Toshiba poster site that this driver as being updated on 28/11/12.

    All advice appreciated.

    I suppose that this isn't a problem of the touchpad driver.
    I think that the problem is related to the touchpad settings.

    a. click the Start button, select Control Panel, click programs and then click turn on turn Windows features on or off. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    b. to turn a Windows feature, select the check box next to the set. To turn a Windows feature off, clear the check box.

  • Why security essientials keep turn off windows Defender. ?

    Why essential security keep turn off windows Defender?

    Hello

    Windows Defender features are included in MSE, defender of loading would be redundant.

    Windows Defender antispyware =

    MSE is antivirus + antispyware.

    Then think about MSE as Windows Defender with more added (which is).

    ===========================================

    Here's what I use and recommend:

    Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with everything I threw at them.
    Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven very reliable and compatible.

    Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except away from Standard, Web and network is working.

    Prevx - Home - free

    Windows Firewall

    Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

    Protected IE - mode

    IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

    I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
    (Sometimes you have to temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom right of IE)

    Avast - stop home - free - all shields you do no need except leave Standard, Web and network running.
    (Double-click the blue icon - details look OK. - upper left Shields - those that you do not cancel).
    http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html

    Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

    Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

    Prevx - Home - small, fast, exceptional CLOUD free protection, working with other security programs. It comes
    a scan only, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something to come back here or use Google to see how to remove.
    http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
    http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp  <-->

    PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
    http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

    Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever suspect malware, and that would be unusual with
    Avast and Prevx running except a low occasional (not much), updated cookie and then run it as
    a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.
