• Dual monitor boot problem with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit after installation of any graphics program like a game.

  I have built this platform with the help of the owner of a store of 4 cumputer teir 2 years ago. We initially put Windows Vista 32 bit on the system to Vista 64 bit unstable atm. For 2 years, the computer worked like a dream. Last week I made a clean wipe of windows vista and windows 7 professional 64-bit installed. The system has two monitors. The primary monitor is a sony bravia with 26 "led and secondary for watching movies is that a 55 '' led Samsung 1080 p 240 Hz. The graphics card is a geforce GTX 295 nividia. It has 12 GB of Ram and the CPU is an i7 965 @3.20.

  The problem I have is this. After the installation of any game average to work with windows 7, the screens to reset their resolutions automatically more than a few times as they are confused. Sometimes, I have to return the screen to its correct resolution after installation in full. Most of the games and then run fine. After installing the game or any game designed for win 7 startup of computers is all messed up for the monitors. After starting hand 26 "sets its resolution and then after about a second 30 pause the computer makes the sound (the double) that it is resolutuons to reset monitor again? After that this second reset about 1-2 minutes the computer is good to go, unless it sets the res evil. The problem is the computer has never done that with vista and it is very annoying say the least. It still freezes the installation of some games. The only way to resolve what I found is the restoration of the system. The computer starts normally and screen ground is defined once she has always been. The only problem is when you install another game, the problem is their new. This problem is worse in some games.

  The latest nvidia drivers have been installed. There is no conflict in the device with the exception of an old printer Manager. The two comes is set to 60 hertz. I searched all over the internet and there seems to be a problem with windows 7 without solution. I am at a loss. Any other information that you need let me know and I'll post it. Thank you!

  Hi ancientone618,

  It sounds almost as if there is a Windows update that is in conflict with your NVIDIA Driver Installer.  I would say to disable automatic updates of Windows to see if it might help:

• MS wrote that Windows 7 Professional comes with MS Games; they have disappeared. How can I get them?

  I bought a HP Pavilion, manufacturer dv7 - 3098ca, with Windows 7 Professional installed.  There are 2 directories with the word 'game' - HP - games and games.  They both contain the same set of HP games (2 identical sets).  According to Microsoft, Windows 7 comes with the same games that have been installed with Vista business, normally residing in the games directory.  Can someone tell me how to get the Microsoft Games that were supposed to be included with this system?

  Normally, you should see games under all programs. You can even search for games under boot and search for the Games Explorer button.

  If you see missing, perform these steps to install them:

  1. click on start, control panel

  2. open programs and features

  3. click on "turn Windows features on or off".

  4. uncheck the games

  5. click on OK

  6 restart the system

  7. Repeat steps 1-3. Check the option games

  8. click on OK

  9 restart the system... the games should be back now

• Solitaire for Windows 7 Professional

  When the upgrade to Windows 7 Professional to Windows 7 Standard, I lost loner.  No idea where to download a version that works on Windows 7.  Prefer to use Microsoft Solitaire.  Also MicroSoft Mail wasn't in professional packing.

  Problem #1: You lost Solitaire in Windows 7 home moving to Windows 7 Professional

  Suggestion:

  Press windows at the bottom left of the screen and type of features. You should see 'Turn Windows features on the wide. Click on that

  Press on the + key next to games and put a check mark next to Solitaire and press OK. If there is already a check, uncheck the box and press OK, and then repeat that suggestion.

  ----

  Problem #2: Microsoft Mail in Windows 7 Professional

  Suggestion:

  There is no such thing as a Microsoft Mail. If you are talking about Windows Live Mail, then you can download it at the following ADDRESS: http://download.live.com/wlmail

  If you talk about Microsoft Outlook (formerly Outlook Express), then you have to buy it separately from Windows in the following Office 2007, available here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/default.aspx

  I hope this helps.

  

• Compatibility__ poor game Windows 7

  Win7 is a great OS, but as to its compatibility with commercial games – old and new – it has broken. I know it's a relatively new BONE, she and was notdesigned to have that problem, but it becomes really frustrating to get excited about a game only find on the WCC is not compatible (20 to 40%, perhaps). I even heard a game actually causing win7 crash on reboot after installation.

  What is happening and who is dragging its feet?

  The best way is that is you are facing any problem, then contact the story game seller, they could discuss question or give some update or the hotfix.

  If your Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate or enterprise, you can install Windows XP Mode and install your game in there.

  Also, you can use compatibility option in the Action Center to solve compatibility problems.

• Windows 7 Professional, DirectInput issues and software that does not work

  A little history: I have Vista Business installed and about 1 1/2 months, I've upgraded to Windows 7 Professional. I attend game and Sim classes that require me to use the Torque Game Builder, Torque Game Engine and Builder of couples of programming. I got Torque Game Builder and constructor not installed with Vista which game me no problem, I upgraded to Windows 7, installed torque game engine. First worked. Recently installed UnRealEd, 3DS max, Maya, Mudbox, MotionBuilder, all work ok. In 2 weeks, when I try to launch the products of couple, they do not work. They appear in the process, but they do not work, when I run in compatibility mode, disable visual themes and disable the composition of the bureau, run as admin, the screen flickers, past at the base, the program does not work. I've updated ALL my drivers from the manufacturer with the last site, I rolled back my drivers to the previous version, I performed a complete installation of Windows 7, tried using a virtual XP Mode machine and create a partition and have a dual boot with Vista business as well. All program worked in a first time in Windows Vista, but not 7. I could also access the program installed in Windows 7 drive and he would run as long as I was on Vista OS. I would then run DXDiag, when it runs, I get, 'DxDiag has detected that there may have been a DirectInput access problem last time that this program has been used. You want to bypass DirectInput this time? "I checked both BONES and found this to be the same issue. I don't remember when I ran the programs recently on Vista and I did a DXDiag, I had data entry.

  Now, I did too, the last Installation program installation of DirectX web and Auditor files system who finds no problem

  My system configuration is:

  Dual Boot: Windows 7 Professional, Windows Vista Business
  AMD 64 + 5000 double
  nVidia 8600 GT
  2 GB memory

  The only other program I can tell who has a problem is UnRealEd... all my work of Autodesk products.

• Windows XP Professional SP3 installation diskettes

  I restore my old computer, and I need floppy disks to install Windows XP Professional SP3 to do this, because my old computer will start only from a floppy or hard drive. Can I use diskettes of Windows XP Professional SP2, or do I floppy disks for Windows XP Professional SP3. If I need Windows XP Professional SP3 diskettes, where can I get their (answer with a link if I need them). Thank you!

  You realize that the diskettes 'setup' will not install any version of Windows XP, but only allow you to start the installation process which must end with an authentic Windows XP installation CD?

  The disks are only for the limited, rare, cases in which you have a CD player and a Windows installation CD, but for some reason that your computer does not start on the CD.  Y at - it an update of the BIOS available that will allow your computer to boot from a CD?

  As far as I KNOW, he is there no version of Service Pack 3 of these disks.  If you have an installation CD for Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 3, try the SP2 game.

• Download and install Windows 7 Professional 32-bit

  I ve bought a 4730 HP's Probook s with a Windows 7 Professional 64 pieces preinstalled.

  I want to downgrade to a Windows 7 Professional 32 bit. How can I do?

  Hello

  This is an option that you can use.

  Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the activation code on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

  First, click on the Start Menu, open computer and double-click Local C drive - you should see a folder called swsetup.  This will contain all the driver installers and almost every program to install the software for your laptop - support this until an external support/device.

  You can create an installation disk yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( it must be the OS exactly the same as originally supplied with your laptop, but the 32-bit version ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.  These Images are clean and a well respected source, however there are only limited versions available.

  Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

  Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.
