    I would like to point out something that you may not realize: Windows 8
    has two interfaces; the modern/Metro Interface (which may be all the)
    you have looked at) and the traditional desktop Interface. You can use
    one or both. This traditional desktop Interface is almost
    identical to the interface of Windows 7. the biggest difference is that
    There is no Orb start clicking to bring up the start menu.

    But note that you can get the ORB start by using one of the many
    third-party programs, are free or very cheap (the classic interface
    http://classicshell.sourceforge.NET/ and debut8 to
    http://www.stardock.com/products/start8/; my personal preference is
    Debut8, but they are both very good).  And goes from an interface to
    the other is very easy; There are several ways, but simply by pressing
    the Windows key is perhaps the easiest.

    Just install one of these two and using the traditional desktop computer
    interface may be a better choice for you than going to Windows 7.
    I use Windows 8, almost exclusively with traditional workstations
    the interface and with 8 Start installed. If you were to look at and use
    my computer, you may have a hard time realizing that it is not
    Windows 7.
    I also recommend to read "how to make Windows 8 or 8.1 watch and.
    Want Windows 7 "to http://www.howtogeek.com/elk/298/45121/4206
    I can't address the issue with your games, except to say that
    whenever you move to a new version of the operating system, some of
    which is used to run on the former does not work on the new. And it's
    much more likely with utilities and games with companies
    applications.

  • Age of Empires 3 does not start on a vista machine, get this error "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Age of Empires III\d3dx9_25.dll is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error."

    I'm trying to play age of Empires 3 on my computer running windows vista Home premium and the program does not start. I get the error message: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Age of Empires III\d3dx9_25.dll is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error." I tried many suggestions from Microsoft (resettlement program, reinstall in safe mode, update & reinstall the drivers for my video card, the compatibility issues with vista, updating and reinstalling directx 9.0 c, install vista service packs 1 & 2) but nothing has worked so far. I was able to play the game on the same computer with windows xp installed (it's a different hard drive that is not in the computer, and everything is the same) and it worked fine. My computer is old enough, but like I said the game worked before installing vista. ASUS A7N8x deluxe, AMD Athlon xp 3200 +, ATI radeon 9600, 2 GB OCZ ram that all suggestions are welcome. Thank you.

    Hi Raygun55,

    Welcome to Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

    This problem may occur if the Microsoft DirectX file that is mentioned in the error message is damaged or is not copied correctly.

    I suggest that you copy the file manually by following the steps and check if you are able to play the game without any problems:

    Manually copy the file

    To do this on a computer that is running Windows Vista, follow these steps:

    1 insert the disc 1 CD for one of the following games into the player from the computer:

    o Age of Empires III

    o Fable: The Lost Chapters

    o Zoo Tycoon 2

    o Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends

    2. click on start to reduce this includes this image and then click Documents.

    3. Locate, and then click computer.

    4. search and then click on the CD drive.

    5. Locate and then click the following folder:

    CD player :\ DirectX9

    Note In this folder path, the CD player represents the drive letter of the CD drive.

    6 double-click on Apr2005_d3dx9_25_x86.cab, right click on d3dx9_25.dlland then click copy.

    In Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends, double click Aug2005_d3dx9_27_x64.cab right-click d3dx9_27.dlland then click copy.

    Note Use the Apr2005_d3dx9_25_x64.cab file for the x 64 version of the Windows operating system.

    7. find one or more of the following folders, depending on the games that are installed on the computer:

    By car : \Program Files\Microsoft: Age of Empires III

    By car : \Program Files\Microsoft Games\Fable - The Lost Chapters

    By car : \Program Files\Microsoft Games\Zoo Tycoon 2

    By car : \Program Files\Microsoft Games\Rise of legends

    Note In these folder paths, drive represents the letter of the drive where the game is installed.

    8. right click on the folder of the game which is the part that is installed on the computer, and then click Paste.

    Note If you have installed more than one game on the computer, repeat steps 5 and 6 for the other games.

    You can check the link for more information: error message when you try to start a Microsoft game: "the file d3dx9_XX. DLL was not found": http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910813

    Alternatively, you can try to install the game in XP compatibility mode and check if you are able to play or not.

    Right-click on the game > click Properties > click on the Compatibility tab > select for XP compatibility mode > click OK.

    Let me know if it worked.

    Thank you, and in what concerns:

  • installed pes 2013 on laptop when you select game get error message "video card does not meet the required specifications (GPU:VRAM 128 MB)" can anyone help?

    installed pes 2013 on laptop when you select game get error message "video card does not meet the required specifications (GPU:VRAM 128 MB)" can anyone help?

    This means what he says.  You do not have the minimum required VRAM.
    The minimum specs for the game is listed as 128 MB of VRAM, but is supposed to work
    on the graphics card integrated Intel 2000/3000.
    The amount of VIDEO memory dedicated on laptops is apparently determined by the FAB of the laptop.

    Without knowing which laptop, or if it is one that has a dedicated graphics card, I guess that your laptop uses integrated graphics that devotes too little of VRAM (64 MB?),
    If it does not the minimum requirement of 128 MB of VRAM.

    I have defined normal and advanced, but videos have gost especially on side effects.

    Hello

    It looks like your Qosmio F750-03W PQF75C 03W001 is a Canadian model of Toshiba that I found it here:
    http://support.Toshiba.ca/support/ISG/Center/en/index.asp?S1=notebook&S2=Qosmio&S3=F750&S4=PQF75C-03W001

    First you need to update the BIOS with the latest version (at this time, it seems that BIOS 2.0 is the most recent).
    Also update the
    nVidia Display Driver version 8.17.12.9039
    Super-D IC Driver version 1.0.1613.809
    Toshiba Blu - ray Disc Player version 1.0.1.299
    as mentioned here http://support.toshiba.ca/support/isg/tsb/en/view.asp?docid=TSB001633

    If stereo 3D effects are not well use X-tune to calibrate it.
    It is recommended to use this utility to optimize the 3D stereo effects when you use the 3D without glasses for the first time or to be dissatisfied by the 3D effects.

    To use the X-Tune utility, follow the steps below:
    1. Select the language mode and optimization, and then click OK. There are three optimization modes: primary, advanced and professional. You can choose according to your own experience.
    2 sitting about 60 cm from your computer, click Start to continue.
    3. follow the onscreen instructions on each step.
    4. use the left or right side of the keyboard arrow key to adjust the effect. When you are satisfied with the effect, click on enter and then an information window appears on the screen. Press the keyboard ESC key to cancel the optimization procedure.
    5. click on Finish to close the X-Tune utility.

    You said that your face recognition does not work correctly so uninstall this software. This also with the software/driver for webcam. Once these two tools has been uninstalled, clean the registry with CCleaner and install these two tools using the most recent version.
    Restart and start X-Tune to calibrate the 3D effects.

    In the doc of Toshiba (link above), you can find this notice:

  • 2006 iMac does not start. Help restore

    I have an Intel iMac core duo with iSight and built in disk drive around 2006. It does not start.

    When I turn on, it sounds and passes to the gray screen with the apple logo and a progress bar or a spinning wheel. Then he stops down. I tried all the troubleshooting and nothing works. In addition, I don't have the disks that originally from cane with the computer. So I can't make a diagnosis of the hardware. (Unless someone is willing to sell me their album hehe).

    This problem happened to me in 2012. I had a friend restore the computer to empty the hard disk, then boot from the snow leopard disc and reinstall everything. It worked like a charm.

    In 2013, a disc is stuck in the drive. I have troubleshooted only and nothing has worked. I assumed that the drive is dead and has continued to use the computer without worrying about that. Then, in 2014 someday when I restarted, the disk jumped! I never tested the drive then because I was afraid of another stuck disc. Then, the computer is dead again as he did in 2012.

    SO I know what to do. I need to wipe the hard drive and start over. However, I didn't have a drive. So, I bought one on eBay. When I insert it, the computer enters the disc. I can hear the mechanics works. It ejects even properly. However, I can't boot from the drive. When I start the iMac by pressing option, I don't see the Macintosh, no disk drive.

    My hard drive died? If so, a USB dvd drive would work? If USB does not work, how can I replace the drive?

    Is it possible that I bought a drive bad or fake software and that's why I can't boot from the dad?

    Please help in some way!

  • Satellite A200 - support Button does not start when windows starts

    Hey,.

    Today, I decided to disable unnecessary programs as many as I could (to speed up my pc), so I went to Msconfig (I have vista home premium 32-bit) and a lot of things off. Including the "toshiba button support. The next time I restarted my additional buttons on the top of the keyboard all worked, next to one. Who normally turn on windows media player. This time, he did nothing at all. Game/resume, stop, forward, back and button internet all worked without problem.
    However, I really liked the WMP button, so I tried to find out what the problem was. I discovered that it was the support of the key, so I decided to reactivate it.

    However, this didn't not help: (.) I turned it in msconfig, but it does not start with windows more: (.) I know this is the program that I need, because when I run the program manually (this is the program: programfiles/toshiba/TBS/HSON.exe) the button works.
    I put a V in front of the msconfig program, but it does not work. Anyone has an idea why not?

    Edit: I found a solution, even if not the best. If anyone still has the same problem:
    I made a shortcut for the program to run (can be found in C:programfiles/toshiba/SCT and is called HSON.exe). Then I clicked start and said 'all programs', here I chose the "opstarten" folder, it comes to the Dutch version, but my guess is it's called something like 'start-up' in English. In this regard, I glued (copy / cut-> paste) the shortcut to the program, and now he begins again :)

    Hello!

    I agree with Akuma. You should try to reinstall the Toshiba value added Package. This determines media keys FN and all special functions on the laptop buttons.
