• get it facebook games to work with windows 7

  -J' bought a new Dell laptop with windows 7-64 bit. I don't know much about computers please bare with me. I like to play games on facebook, mainly of farmville, and on this laptop, I had any other problems with it. I get a blue screen, as soon as I expanded the farmville game. I have to restart every time. I had many conversations with various collaborators from Dell. They even sent a new laptop because even they could not understand the problem. Well, the other does the same thing! Yet once I had many conversations with people from Dell and finally, they said there was nothing wrong with the computer, it was a problem of facebook. I wrote for the creators of Farmville and they do not seem to help either. They send me patches that have nothing to do with my problem. It becomes very frustrating because I paid a lot of money for this laptop and I just wanted to be able to play games on facebook. That's all that I use it. I have a desktop computer that I have no problem playing on farmville, but it has windows xp. I wish now that I have never had anything with windows 7 on it. !

  Skip the premise that referenced blue screen is the "BSOD" or "blue screen of death"... referenced blue screen there of hex on it and other numbers?

  Can you please download the c:\windows\minidump on your SkyDrive content and provide a link.

  To deal with blue screens, general following orientation (may already have seen you some of them):

  Consider running chkdsk on all partitions.  Leave complete chkdsk on each partition and see if that helps.

  Also consider running SFC/scannow.

  Other common suggestions include ensuring drivers are up to date (including video drivers), but also to ensure that you use the latest version of the BIOS.

  Consider the memory with memtest86 or Windows Memory Diagnostic test. Note that memory that passes the test is not necessarily good - he just failed a test.  Examine systematically to eliminate the system RAM - run with a few modules for awhile and see how things are going. Then try the other modules.

  If you start in safe mode, do you still feel bugs? What if you do a clean boot, or boot device?

  It may be useful to use the driver verifier.  To activate the... Driver Verifier start-> verifier.exe-> OK-> create standard settings - > then-> the names of the drivers select in a list-> next-> sort by provider-> select all non-Microsoft drivers-> finish and OK your way out of the dialog box.

  Then restart and use the system as you normally and wait for a problem.  In case the system does not completely start after activation of the Verifier, boot mode safe and run driver verifier and tell him to remove the changes.

  Wait for an error checking to happen after you have enabled the auditor as described and then transfer it to your SkyDriveand provide a link.

• Get inluded games to work in Vista Business.

  I use Vista Business and I try to get the games to work which are included. On the Microsoft answers site, I found the following instructions;   "The games are included in Business, but they are not installed by default.

  "Go to control panel, programs, programs and features, and then click on" Turn Windows features on or off "and put a check mark in the box of games." I followed the instructions and when I got to the window where I had to check something, there was a field of empy with no radio button or whatever it be listed.

  You can have a more serious problem.  Maybe a file corrupted somehow.  I suggest you contact Microsoft technical support.  They have tools that can help diagnose the problem with your system as well as making recommendations to the software that may require updates, etc..

  This file is a newer DirectX file (Feb 2010) not listed is not in the out-of-the-box DirectX, which is part of Windows 7 (July 2009).

• How can I get my area 51 game xp pc game to work in my pc Windows 7?

  I have a windows 7 Home premium and you tried to run area 51 xp pc from the installation disc game it is start to install it then it said installation wizard was interrupted before installation could be completed, I tried to do mode of compatibility in every thing there, still will not work, how can I get this game to work in my pc windows 7?

  I looked on the internet and so far can not find a way. I don't want to dual boot or something like that, just want the compatibility to work as if it was supposed to in windows seven, I have played other games xp in windows 7 and I want to play this game. any assistance that would get this problem is resolved and my game really to work would be greatly, greatly appreciated!

  I have an e machine with 1.60 gigahertz AMD Athlon II X 2 250u
  256 kilobytes main memory cache
  secondary memory 2048 k-cached
  64-bit ready
  Multi-core (2 total)

  4 GB of RAM.

  Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 [graphics card]

  The only games I've found of ' 05 and have a problem with Win7 are due to copy protection.
  StarForce is perhaps the worst, followed by Tages and SecureRom. In most cases, it's a problem with 64 bit (also XP) operating systems.
  In some cases, the game will install and give an error message to the effect that he can't finish, but the game is installed, but the DRM is not.
  Games that use of Tages can sometimes be fixed with their updated 64 - bit
  TAGES protection system against the copy of AAA.

  Some games can be installed on a computer that is 32-bit and copied to the 64-bit machine and will last (not sure in this case).

  Other games will take place with a noCD patch. There is a difficulty noCD Mega games (PC fixed the left column of the home page). The fix of the A51 more complex than most, because it has several files which I assume (do not have the game) all go in the main installation folder with the A51.exe. I usually suggest the original of the .exe (and others) in a new folder for backup before moving the new ones in the games installation folder.

  Then - as suggested by MH, some just are not feasible, or need a Virtual Machine-
  | MG | Download VirtualBox 4.1.10.76836

  In my collection (100 +) there were two - Beyond Good and evil (not the re-release) and Splinter Cell Chaos Theory which I have not found a fix/work around for (I have not tried a VM).

  If there is a fan site for Area 51 there may be fixes available to the community.
  I found an installer 64 bit for Grim Fandango old classics on one of these sites.

• Having trouble getting a classic example game to work

  I'm checking button set 17 from the CD provided with 3D games Interactive real-time by Allen Partidge but in the animated intro, she left with "Script error: Value out of range" referring to line 50:
  
  gHavok.registerInterest (name, #all, 0,0, #tokenAquired, gTokenLut)
  
  I know he wrote for Director 8.5. I use Director MX 2004 with additional Havok Behavior installed and Windows XP Pro. This book seems to be a classic on Director development of games, so the game should work, but what I can do to make it run on my system? Is there an incompatibility between 8.5 and MX 2004? Should I consider this book as a reference only to the concepts, but obsolete and useless regarding the code? The ideas presented are exciting, so it's frustrating to not be able to see them as set out in this game.

  Hello

  FSX is very demanding in graphic design, it could be the laptop graphics card can not handle.

  As a work around you are trying to update the graphics card drivers is available from Nvidia.

  What is the source of the installation of the game? What is a downloaded file or CD?

  However, the question you posted would be better suited in the support of Microsoft Flight Simulator since we have a dedicated support for this; We offer that will also post your query using Flight Simulator for assistance:

• When I open the games online I can't get into the game, and they will write check your firewall

  Original title: network programs network networking Internet Web site Site Web Web Site URL

  can you please answer

  When I open the games online I can't get into the game, and they will write chek your firewall

  Hello

  I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but I should be able to help.
  Internet connection issues are widely available and vary from one case to another. Your question, however it seems that the most likely cause is that your computer's firewall prevents your applications to connect to the internet. You can check this easily by:

  1. go to the Start Page of Windows 'default Page of Windows 8.

  2 mouse hover in the top right of the screen then click on the search"" button.

  3. type in 'Control Panel' after a brief search you will see a button at the top of the page left labled 'Control Panel' click on this button and you go in desktop mode and allow you to navigate in the control panel.

  4 from there, click on the tab labeled "system and security."

  5. then, click on the second option in the list titled "Windows Firewall"

  6. the first thing you want to do is to check if you are on a "private" or "Public network" (a private network is usually the safest and although on this type of network, you are less likely to be vulnerable to attacks, Public network are accessible by anyone and give a greater risk).

  7 the right it will say Private Networks Connected / not connected and below that it will say comments or connected/not connected networks public. Most computer security settings differ based on your type of connection, if you are on a network audience of settings on your computer will be more strict and could prevent your programs connected to the internet. (Say if you are connected to a private network, you can probably exclude this.)

  8. If you are connected to a private network and your programs don't always work correctly in the top left of the window under "Control Panel Home" you want to click on the option "allow an app or feature through Windows Firewall."

  9 a list first your "Internet Capable of programs" quickly browse and find that you are having problems with and take note of the checkboxes next to them. If no box is checked, you will want to allow them to connect. Do this by clicking on the "Edit settings" button located in upper right

  10 you want then allow your program through the firewall, this by simply checking the box next to it. (Note that if the Public network that can leave your computer vulnerable or higher risk)

  11 after doing this click ok, now go back and try to run your program and see if the problem is resolved.

  12. If you cannot find your program, click the "Allow" another app... button and navigate to your programs (usually in the folder C: / drive in the folder programs.) and choose your program and adjust the settings to allow through the firewall.

  13 if this does not solve your problem, and the problem persists, try to go into Internet Explorer, by clicking on the gear in the top right and open Internet Options. Go to the Security tab and check how strict your settings are. You should be able to click on "Reset to Default" to solve this problem, if that's the problem. (Located at the right bottom)

  I hope that this helps if not let me know and I'll give you some suggestions.

  Thanks for your time, I hope this has helped.

• Installed Directx11 and now no games not working - need help

  Recently, I had windows 7 and for some months now, I've been able to play my games very well (warcraft 3/world of warcraft/civilization 4) without any problem at all.

  Yesterday, I tried to get a new game called heroes of newerth, then departure I got an error that I found, after rising, it was supposed to be fixable by obtaining the latest version of Directx.
  So I've updated to DirectX 9.0 c (which worked very well for a long time) to Directx11, using dxwebsteup.

  Warcraft 3 freezes simply on the launch screen.
  WoW know either update directx 9.0 c and update your video driver (FYI I did the last yesterday, then don't suggest for me to update my graphics driver I did already). And then will not start.
  Other games say error running script of D3D and an assortment of texts simular to that.

  When I run DXDIAG everything happens perfect without any detected problems and showing Directx11 under version. I tried to run dxwebsteup several times in case something has not installed right but without success.

  During hours of research this problem and through Needless to information on Directx, I found that these four fail conclusions:
  1. run the DirectX 9.0 c Installer and it will overwrite Directx11. I tried and it didn't.
  2 uninstall Directx11 will run - regedit - HKEY LOCAL MACHINE - SOFTWARE - Microsoft - Directx and the deletion of this file. Supposedly I could and then restart the computer and install DirectX 9.0 c. After you remove the folder and restart, I noticed several things; but above all, nothing has changed. My computer do not redo the Directx folder, it disappeared completely. The problem is not gone, and also when I try to launch Directx9.0c nothing happens as usual. In DXDIAG, it still says there is no problem and the version is still Directx11, and when I try to run dxwebsteup I get a new error: internal year error has occurred. Please be DXError.log and Directx.log in your windows folder to determine the problem. I'm distraught about what it means and it seems that I myself got in deeper problems.
  3 download a program that can uninstall Directx. I tried this but I have found no program that is compatible with Windows 7 which uninstalls Directx, or y at - it even not with vista.
  4. I am hallucinating; Directx11 is backward compatible, and for this reason, it is impossible to downgrade or install Directx11 Windows 7. No, I'm not hallucinating, it actually happens and even if Directx11 is supposed to play games that require fewer versions of Directx mine isn't.

  Is it really impossible to uninstall/downgrade Directx11?
  Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this is happening and how I can get Directx11 for work with my games?

  Please help it is incredibly frustrating and tedious.

  No.... it wasn't just a game, it was all my games and the problem was Directx11. At least I was, because I made the post I managed to solve the problem of what I was I canceled my video driver and everything was perfect, once again, so it must be something to do with my video driver updated and is not not properly compatible with directx11.

• Trying to get former video game PC on Windows 7 64 bit compatibility

  I'm a gamer and I have a large library of games old and not so old (e.g. Civ IV, CivCity Rome, Rome: Total War, Neverwinter Nights, etc..) I have been to the Windows 7 Compatibility Checker and noticed a bit of a mixed bag for what is compatible or not.

  It seems that Microsoft have placed a big emphasis on Windows 7 and I want to upgrade, but you need to know that Microsoft will support old libraries of games that work on XP.  I find it frustrating if this was not the case, especially given that the future of XP support is constantly questioned and players tend to invest a LOT of money in the games they buy.  Can you please let us know the plan and the timeline to ensure that the games will be compatible?

  Thank you!

  Microsoft has released only the game so you wouldn't necessarily talk to them to get support for it. Read this for more information http://games.ign.com/objects/026/026376.html
  Like 2 K Games Borderlands published, but the gearbox developed. I wouldn't talk about 2K games how the game should work.

  When they acquire Ensemble Studios they closed a lot earlier this year, so remove all official support the devs themselves. Usually with this old games, you'll be happy not to have to do something special.

  I hope that if someone comes to you and says YES we will support our own published games. One might think that right?

• I have a new laptop with windows 7 when I get on facebook games action lages and do not move smoothly there at - it something I need to download or modify to operate smoothly, it does only with games

  I have a new laptop with windows 7 when I get on facebook games action lages and do not move smoothly is something I need to download or change the settings to make it work smoothly, it does only with games

  burningbush,
  It can also be a problem with the game running through Facebook server.  I noticed a difference in great step lately with Farmville on Facebook compared to when I started playing.  You should check to see if it seems to be the same on the other PC.  I noticed the problem on several machines in different places, so I know that it was not limited to a PC.
