• How to play games on Dell Inspiron 700 m Windows XP / impossible to play games

  Hi, I have a Dell Inspiron 700 m, Windows XP and I wanted to play games on my laptop, but when I try to run a game, it opens, then the window closes automatically. I if it may be that I installed the wrong game, but I checked and everything seems fine. I searched online and found that only a few games is compatible with my laptop. Also, I tried to update my graphics card but I have not seen a video driver update for Dell Inspiron 700 m Windows XP. It does not take in charge the 3d games which I hope there is a solution for, and the game I am playing Battlefield 1942. I tried League of legends and this game seems to work, but another game like GTA or BF1942 don't work. Here's my laptop hardware specifications.

  Yes, I thought. This notebook is an old, I had and was giving up for sale. He had previously installed games, but I never used them. In any case thanks for the reply.

  BTW, I have a new desktop PC and laptop, so you don't have to worry about a new system. Just had a question about the used laptop previously, anyway thanks.

  Hope everyone is a great day

  If 64-bit - can run WMP in 32 or 64 bit mode.

  Or try these: download - SAVE - go to the place where your put them RIGHT CLICK – RUN AS ADMIN.

  For 32-bit use these - OR the 32 bit ones listed above which I prefer.

  K - Lite Codec Pack 10.0.0 (or newer)

  Use them for 64-bit:

  Download and install it after the main program.

  -------------------------------------------------------------

  You know that you use WMP 32 or 64

  Change, modify or value 64-bit Windows Media Player 11 (WMP11) in Windows Vista x 64 as default (or WMP12 - Windows7)

• How to play games with maximum performance?

  Hello
  There is a problem with my laptop (HP Pavilion dm4-1265dx Entertainment PC) performance, the gmes are really slow, my brother has a HP Pavillion dv6 and it supports all types of games, I may know the answer, when it plug the charger the whole screen goes black and then return in 1 second and then he can play games.

  The dm4 is better than the dv6, but I think the dv6 supports ATI Readon Mobility when plug it in the charger, but I can not activate my Readon SMA so I guess how to use performance professionalism when I plug the charger.

  I've tried so far things:

  The advanced 1) Changed power settings and selecting maximum performance when I plug in the charger.
  (2) Changed the graph options, Intel Graphics Media Panel and the maximum performance when connected to the charger.

  Please answer, thanks :)

  Looks like its included video card is much more powerful than the included Intel graphic card using your laptop. Who can make a huge difference in the game.

• How to play games windowns XP in Windows 7 Ultimate?

  I had my computer upgraded to windows xp professional about 2-3 years ago. I have quite a few games I want to play. I installed it, but they do not work. Far cry 2 runs but falls down during loading and just cause works fine but jumps constantly. Harry potter and the goblert of fire turns but jumps also very frequently. However, I managed to get one of my other favorite games to work. It is resident evil 4. I run mode capacity model for windows 2000 with AERO disabled. It works fine but sometimes crashes. I tried my other games work this way, but they won't work no matter what I do. I did much research on google but I have had no success. I have not yet tried to install and run other games besides those that I listed above because of this reason. Yesterday I installed the windows virtual pc and windows xp mode. I installed far cry 2 on it and then disable features of the interrogation. I tried to run, but it crashed when loading and become immune. So I'm back to square one. So, my windows is up-to-date.  I am very frustrated and I really need help. I really miss my old games. Could someone please help me as soon as possible.

  Thank you very much.

  Your sincerely

  Timothy Balla

  The vast majority of the games will run on Win7.

  -Games 2000 and earlier versions are one is more likely to have problems, but most of them have patches of fan based,.

  or the settings for the parameters that will make them run.

  -Very old DOS based games require DOS box run on, and many of them have been republished by

  Good old games and install with BACK Box, which is easier than learning the in and out of

  using the DOS window.

  "I installed windows virtual pc and windows xp mode yesterday."

  -I have no experience with the help of virtual machines, but they shouldn't be necessary with Win7.

  - XP Mode does not have 3D acceleration and isn't much good with games.

  "my computer upgraded to windows xp professional about 2-3 years ago . .. .also jumps very frequently. "

  Sounds like the shift. Caused by using too high settings, or only have not not a proper GPU.

  -What graphics processor and processor use your machine?

  -Have you installed the latest drivers for your graphics

  (download from the mfg and install them manually. Do not use the device or Windows updates)?

  -Verify that DirectX is up to date-

  Download DirectX end-user Runtime Web Installer from the official Microsoft Download Center

  "I installed far cry 2 on it and then disable features of interrogation."

  Characteristics of the interrogation? Using the anti-aliasing in game option tends to crash the game.

  AA can be used in your control panel of graphics processors, but not in the game.

  -A whole new problem...

  MS invented a malware 'special' they call blocking of DRM. It is installed via the Windows updates and

  It prevents hundreds of old games disc loading base.

  If you have update kb3086255 installed, uninstalled, it will get old games that are blocked

  run again.

  I have more details on the DRM blocking in the thread below. There are two other options uninstall vs

  the update in this rant.

• Lag internal all playing games (Windows 7)

  I was already running XP like Vista and I want to play WoW and failures with the difficulties and once I added to Windows 7, I started having 'backwardness' internal  The game will run smoothly for 10 minutes and then everything slows down, gets rough and takes an eternity to get orders to go but its never skips a beat.  I recently bought the Sims 3 and I'm having the same difficulty.  I have the up to drivers video, Ive got DirectX 9 and the graphics card is a Nvidia GeForce 9400 GT is only around the age of 6 months.  Any ideas what might ask this question?

  Hi DEV666,

  There are several ways to reduce your LAG, one of them is by adjusting your graphics and the sound settings so that the computer does not put as much effort in order to ensure that it is a standard better that they really need to be.

  However, it is not only the game settings that are causing this high ping. Today, many of the internet, perhaps from different countries, have connections faster than others. If the majority of players on the server have a connection faster that you, then you will experience lag (they will be faster game speed).

  In addition, when you join a server, on the list of the browser, it is a good idea/practice to check the ping to the server (it is described as the latency on the server list). This number is, the speed/quality it will on your computer.

  You will never have the quality when playing on internet, as a lot of people come and go, different events in the game occur (which causes the game to freeze for a very small amount of time while the server updates).

  The only real way to get rid of it must have a faster connection and check for latency on the server list. Firewall software and hardware is also responsible for some slowdowns on the game. However, these are necessary in order to ensure that your computer remains stable and free from virus.

• Pavilion dv6 3131tx: play games with ATI card Windows 10 graphics card

  Hello
  
  I have a hp Pavilion dv6-3131tx with switchable graphics (HD Intel and AMD Mobility Radeon HD 5000 series card graphics card), and after the upgrade to Windows 10 all my games have been slow. I thought it was because of the HARD drive space I did a disk cleanup (including system files that I decided that I wasn't going back to Windows 7). After doing this, I decided to fiddle around with my chart (on two cards) options to maximize performance.

  However, now most of my games opened with the sound in the background, but it's a completely black screen. Looks like everything works well in the background (even the mouse pointer works and is in the shape of the pointer of the mouse of games) but it's just a full black screen. This seems to only happen with demanding games like a racing game or a sim as Sim truck or train sim. Other games such as spintires and miami hotline works very well. I could literally find nothing similar to this problem online and I really hope there is a fix for this!

  I have to mention also I tried to turn off my map graphics Intel HD in Device Manager when I was trying to figure out how I can make my ATI card my default card, because I'm sure that my games were run on the Intel card as they all seemed very slow compared to when I played on Windows 7. After that I disabled it my screen was almost entirely black, but I could just, just, what I did and managed to the reactivation of the card. This form almost entirely black happened also when I did the opposite.

  Update: it seems when I put these games to use the games I have (the Intel card) power saving trouble with work fine (less shift because she is able to save of course) so it's a problem with the ATI card.

  Thank you and I hope there is a fix for this

  Also, I had a PC trashed by the upgrade of Win10 - because the upgrade tool does not detect the switchable graphics in advance and prevent the upgrade.  The good news is that MS has finally stopped by pushing people to do the upgrade of Win10.

  Ordinarily, I advise to use HP recovery media to restore your PC to its original state. That would erase the entire disk, format the drive and install the operating system, drivers and utilities HP.
  
  Unfortunately, there is no support of HP recovery related to HP for your PC Product Page. This could be an oversight by HP, or it could also mean that HP stock is no longer the recovery media for your PC. They store any long recovery media for older PCs.
  
  You can try to contact the HP customer directly, using the links below, to see if you can order them if:

  If you live in the United States or the Canada, details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/phone-assist.html#section1
  
  If you live elsewhere, contact details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-contact-us.html
  
  NOTE: once you get through, stay on the line until you are finally able to talk to someone ' one - it can take a while!

  ---------------------------------------
  However, HP customer care is generally not available on weekends, so you will have to wait until Monday to contact them.
  ---------------------------------------

  Given that HP no longer provides a recovery media for your model, a few other sites, you should check are: http://www.computersurgeons.com/ and http://www.restoredisks.com/

  Good luck

  My ASUS netbook will not let me play games. I go in my games folder and the games are a big red circle on them with a line in the middle of the circle. I tried checking them and by unchecking the box in the control panel and still nothing. Have no idea what happened or how to fix it.

  Hello

  Please try to install the game in compatibility mode.  Here is some information that can be very practical...
