Games on W7 Pro

How can I get Windows games (solitaire, Minesweeper, etc.) on Windows 7 Professional?  He was the only op system available on the computer and came up with no games.

They are not installed by default on the professional version.  Make your way to:

-> Control Panel
--> Programs
---> Turn Windows features on or off

From there, you should see the games listed, and you can either check each one, or just specific.  Out OK and it will enable them. Paul Smith - MVP for Windows desktop experience...

  • Games on Macbook Pro - retina with AMD M370X 2015

    New to Macbook Pro laptops. I bought 10 TIA for frames here at my job and supported more than 2 years now.

    Bought a new Macbook Pro the retina with the Radeon M370X graphics option 2015. I'm used to the game on Windows laptops and I have a question regarding battery drain.

    Run these computers laptops always battery? HP, Dell, etc. I could take out the battery and it will run strictly on the current.

    I ask because once I have Steam to load and install a game, I can play for about 45 minutes, while it is plugged in with the original 85W adapter, until the battery is at 5%.

    This is normal behavior for this laptop?

    Certainly, you can run the MBP with the charger connected even with the battery disconnected.  I don't recommend that because the OSX will be butterfly of the CPU and performance should be degraded.

    What do you use must be a serious resource hog.  In rare cases, when the charger is plugged in but additional power resources are needed, the battery is charged for the difference.  This is perhaps what is happening.

    Try a SMC reset and see if there is a difference:

  • A few questions regarding the hardware upgrade and the games on Satellite Pro 2100

    Hey,.

    I thought that posting this here because it's more about the lines for the games I could think on another topic.

    I'll get to the point... Basically, I bought a laptop from a guy that my friend knew. He barely used this laptop and didn't know anything about computers, and he tried to avoid as much as possible. So he got rid of this laptop for me for real cheap.

    Now I got it, I had expected either of two things with the laptop.

    (1) what I'll use it so I can sit in his bed and travel a little bit while having files, movies, music and internet access. (it wasn't my main idea)

    Or

    (2) it allows to play video games on it, or to update, so I have a better chance to do so.

    I was hoping to get for video games, mainly for my brother to use because his computer is lagging a lot while playing world of Warcraft. I was hoping that this notebook would give him a better experience for a while.

    But as I was installing the game on this, I noticed that the disk space is low, so I'm going to buy an external hard drive, so I can send files between the PC and the laptop, and I got an error message saying that the RAM was under "minimum requirements" for WoW.

    So I know that I got to level it with something big, but I know not what, so I'm not quite sure that this laptop will run the game at a decent rate. So I thought that I turn to a computer forum and ask.

    It's my laptop;
    [Satellite Pro 2100 PS210E | http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=UK&BV_UseBVCook = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 45659 ie]

    This laptop will do the job don't you think?
    Or it will be better for simpler things, or less if I had the ram to 1gig?

    I don't know much on the laptop, and I'm not really willing to spend too much on fixing, if it's just a change of the ram, then it wouldn't cost much for than to upgrade around 1gig.

    Hello

    First of all, I must say that this notebook belongs to an older series laptop.
    It was equipped with the 1.8 Celeron CPU, 256 MB RAM, 20 GB or 30 GB HARD drive and a 16MB graphics card internal.

    What you can do is upgrade the RAM up to 1 GB (2 x 512 MB) and the HARD drive. But I think that the maximum size of HARD drive that would be recognized by the BIOS is 120 GB.
    I think that the laptop supports one IDE controller and it limited because of the 28-bit LBA HARD drive size.

    So finally, it is important to mention that you can not pass the graphics card because it s soldered onto the motherboard. Upgrading the CPU is not possible or very difficult.

    I come to the conclusion that you will not be able to play games of new generation on this machine. The hardware specs are maybe too low a few simple games would run on this laptop but I'm sure that other newer games will not run smoothly.

  • Games on Satellite Pro C650

    Hey guys, im the proud owner of a recent acquisition Satellite Pro C650 and im trying to play games on it. I just tried to play Starcraft (original) and the game has come in weird colors, colours all reversed and such.
    The same thing has happened to any other game I tried to play. It was old games, so I don't understand why my computer can not handle. Just understand, there is no crash or anything, just weird colors.

    I don't know what to do, any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you!

    Hi epicfail,.

    Generally weird colors are caused by the display driver in most cases... I had the same problem and update the display driver worked in my case.
    Have you already tried?

    On the Toshiba page, you can check if there is a more recent display driver:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com

    What operating system you have?
    If you have Windows 7, you can try the compatibility mode for Windows XP. Some games more former don t work on Vista/Windows 7.

  • Games with Satellite Pro A100

    Hello guys!

    Want to buy Satellite Pro A100 with ATI mobility radeon x 1600 with up to 512 MB of memory, hyper, and I want to know if I can play games like a 3D ' need for speed ', "doom3" or "cell support" if I buy it!

    Thank you!!!

    Hello

    You want to play high-performance games?
    Hmmm. The Satellite Pro A100 is a good laptop. BUT very powerful
    I wouldn't buy a laptop if I would have preferred to play hardcore games.

    Why
    1. the laptop hardware (CPU, GPU) must be cooled and play games like doom3 or cell support each device operating with maximum efficiency. This will produce one would be a lot of heat and the temperature rises. Drivers for laptop control devices and graphics driver for example would decrease the performance of the graphics card because of the high temperature. (low performance-> low temperature). In this case the game would also slowly or with lower performance

    2. second drawback of the laptop is the availability of the graphics driver update.
    Graphics drivers of manufacturing of the laptop are usually not the same as the graphics driver of the manufacturing of the graphics card. They are slightly modified and therefore, you can install and use only manufacturing the laptop drivers.
    And especially the graphics drivers are not updated. And you know that the graphics driver is the most important driver if you want to play games

    I recommend you build a desktop PC for gamer. I'll do it next time
    You know I'm not going to buy a PC completely, but I'm going to buy unique pieces and only with the best performance that rocks ;)

  • Performance of slow game on Satellite Pro C660 - 2 7

    So my slow running on C660 - 2 7 games my graphics card is ATI mobility radeon hd 5470.

    Can I do something? I tried the canyourunit site that says if you can or can not and on Assassin's creed said revelations that I can run but once ingame it goes really slow

    Hello

    You can try to change the game settings: for example the value down the graphic details.
    You can also try to increase the memory of the computer s.

    But beware: the game performance is dependent on s laptop equipment.
    Even if you are able to run the game, this does not mean that you will get the best game performance that you know

  • Games on Satellite Pro A60

    I bought my new computer some months there is too much use for school and a little play.
    I too wanted to play the new World Of warcraft online game.
    But its as if the graphics card can not work properly with the game. Im not used too many cell phones. And I can't seem too download a new driver. Have the graphics card ati mobility radeon 7000 IGP. It's really bugging me. I can play the game but his lag and if other players are close to me the game just freezes. All my features are more minimal. I would also like to know what I can do also prevent this.

    Hello

    Sorry, but in my opinion there no way to improve the performance of the graphics card. The only thing you can try is to search for some real driver for him on the site of the producer. But you must be careful. It is not tested by Toshiba and there is no guarantee that it will be better or it will work correctly.

    I like to play the games and after a long time, I decided to buy Satellite M30x because on this machine is good graphic and M30x gives better performance.

    One question;
    Are you using Vista on this laptop?
    Well, if you bought this phone especially for a game I recommend the installation of Windows XP with the latest graphics drivers and then to try to play all the games.
    As you probably known t the Vista operating system needs a lot more material resources like old operating systems from Ms. This could have a bad influence on the performance of the game.

    Also I recommend you to check this page.

  • Sat Pro 6100: The orange light blinks

    GDay guys,.

    Thursday, it was the last day of school.
    In the last lesson of the day, I used the laptop to play games (Toshiba Satellite Pro 6100, 1, 6 GHz) when the Bell went. I tried to stop in time, however running in battery mode, she went up to 1 ghz and has been quite slow, closing the game so I immediately turned it off by holding the button for a few seconds.

    I put it in my new computer case belkin which offers a thick foam padding and went home by bus. When I finally got it, I plugged the laptop and tried to boot the system. The screen didn't work for some reason, so I tried the key light several times without success. Reset the computer several times, still nothing. I was wondering if it was the hard drive of the stopping is not correctly earlier this day here but I could always blindly log windows. It me intrigued as to why the screen wasn't on. I presume that a cable was loose so I removed the keyboard and checked the cables on the graphics card. They were fine. Put the keyboard back on and tried to start the laptop.

    The flashing yellow light has shone in its ugly glory. Something was wrong. I left the cell only and got the father, who is an electrical engineer to check on the laptop for all things obvious which could cause this problem. Dad couldn't see anything.

    Before, I read a post on the resettlement of the graphics card can work so I reinstalled the graphics card and tried to boot the system. Still nothing!

    What the hell is happening?

    I read these support forums and find a post on how you can charge the battery, start etc and try it and watnot, but it still fails. When I remove the battery and exit onto the adapter and replace the AC adapter in, a green light that shines above its power light shines. When I put the battery in again, a yellow light shines above the stack, however as soon as I press the power button, everything shuts off and the yellow led shines above the logo of ac power...

    Any ideas as to what may cause this problem and how can I solve this problem?

    -Well done guys!

    Hello

    Littco is right. You must contact the partner in your country. On this way is really not easy to say what can be the problem, but I guess Hat there is a problem with the electronic control gear and you will not be able to repair only. Check it please this page

  • I have a few questions about HTML5 Canvas that needs answer

    I intend to start developing games using Flash Pro CC soon and recently discovered on the feature of HTML5 Canvas. It's quite new to m, so I was curious to know certain things.

    1. What is the HTML5 Canvas and is commonly used to make games?

    2 should. what kind of code I use? (from my understanding, he uses Javascript)

    3 can be used to create complex games, let's say something like a Tower Defense, shooting or even multiplayer?

    4. the good tutorials on using the HTML5 Canvas game development? (preferably written)

    Thank you

    1. the HTML5 Canvas is the HTML5 Canvas. Flash uses an embedded CreateJS library version to handle it.

    2. it runs in the browser client-side then Yes, it uses JavaScript.

    3. of course, it can be used to create complex and multiplayer programs. Already used Google Maps? Google Docs? Those are all programmed in JavaScript.

    4 game in development is a subset of the programming. If you don't know JavaScript, then browse through thousands of tutorials available online.

  • Starling and Flash Professional

    Hello

    I bought the book "Starling game development Essentials" from PacktPub (by Juwal Bose) and I downloaded the code example.

    But the book describes only using Flash Builder and I use Flash Professional (CC). I've built several games using Flash Pro with AS3 that are in iTunes and I expect to learn how to use Starling code to improve performance.

    Not surprisingly, the samples do not work. First of all, nothing has worked, he was not related to the Starling so he found what he needed and I got loads of error can not find - this. So, I tried building an FLA for the demo of Chapter 1, set to day class to point to the ActionScript to demo, and I updated the path of the library to include the Starling. All can't find errors-, that are now gone, but now I get the error "Context3D is not available" in a big black box (as well as the Simulator window) when I try to run the demo.

    My machine is a MacBook Pro which is underway and I use Adobe CC, which is also common.

    Can I use the examples in this book on my installation (and if so, how)?

    I must point out that all the demos online that I can find to Starling using Flash Builder.

    Therefore, more generally, can I use Starling with Flash Professional (and if so, how)?

    If the answer is 'no' to the above questions, is there a book on Starling?

    Thanks in advance.

    I remembered something. Test iOS FLAs work with Starling, but make sure you have the Direct rendering mode and not automatically value.
