HP Touchsmart IQ510 to play games?

Hi, my girlfriend brought one of them, yesterday, the Comet and its brilliant, I just have a few questions.

I tried to install The Elder Scrolls Oblivion and after that, the installation and I press 'play' it comes up with an error message saying...

"This application has failed to start because d3dx9_27.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

I tried to update the graphics card drivers and the game itself, but not lucky I was just wondering if there might be a simple solution I'm missing because I know that I could try more radical options but also to be honest, I don't want to play too much with his brand new computer and if it work does 'nt i Ain' t bother.

Also do you rekon some other games I might have more luck with or should I forget about fair game on this computer, even if the specification is good enough for most of the games I want to play.

Kind regards

Steven.

Worked a treat thank you

  • Is excessive heating while playing game macbook air damage it?

    I installed Windows 10 on my macbook air (Early 2015). When I started playing big games like GTA on it, it will heat up very fast and fan starts at full speed. So it will be harmful to my macbook play in?

    First, there is the thermal shutdown provisions that will stop the MBA before it can commit Hari Kari due to excessive heat.

    If you have two sets of Macs, play games all the time one and the other just using 'normal', the Group of Mac game on the average of the tasks will fail sooner than the other.  This is because heat is the enemy of electronics.  How much is an open question.

    If you want to play games do but try to do it in a cool and if possible, use a block of cooling or fan. But if the games are a top priority, get a PC designed for games.  Mac is not good gaming platforms.

  • Once I downloaded the new version of Adobe Flash Player 11.3.300.262, I can not play games with my friends on Yahoo Messenger.

    It could be a coincidence, but when I upgraded to the latest version of Adobe Flash Player 11.3.300.262 I can not play games with my friends on Yahoo Messenger. I know that when I've updated for a reason that I had to try 3 times before it took. It shows that it is updated. I wonder if I have to uninstall and reinstall. Also, I never use Internet Explorer 8 but when I went there to check I found a plug check link there and it showed over there that Adobe Flash Player necessary update but it was an older version and not a Foxfire had updated me too. Now I'm really confused if it causes a problem. I've never had to control Internet Explorer for plug-ins before. Have always just updated to Foxfire since that's what I use. Adobe Flash Player seems to play videos OK not really sure if this is the issue or not. My Java plug-ins have been very well and have been updated some time there, so I know it's not that. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

    Hey again,
    After hours of reading and checking to make sure I had good things enabled, I did, I gave up and uninstalled the latest version of Adobe Flash Player, they gave me and re-installed and later I had my friend get on Messenger and we tried games and it worked this time.
    For some strange reason when I updated it took me 3 tries before it took. So even if he told me that it has been installed, apparently it wasn't really. Just goes to show you that you can not trust what you see.
    What has really scratching my head was I went to Internet Explorer 8, which I never use more and discovered you can now get Mozilla plug in slip out there and when I did showed that same Adobe Flash Player is outdated but it was to a different version. Not knowing if it would help, I installed a new too and he said it was his understanding that it does not. So I guess you can have 1 version installed on the computer 1 despite 2 browsers different different versions. It becomes too complicated for me. Laughing out loud!
    I work with computers all the time at work but not the technical stuff. If it's something simple, I can guess through it to help someone but it's my first personal computer for me and is a former first, so I got experience using different types. We use the desk at work as well. Personally, I like computers laptops for various reasons. And the mention of people many browsers go way over my head.
    Please answer this question though and you answer back.

  • I gave my grandson my old iPhone 4 to play games. He is running out of room. Can we reset and set up with just the games without phone connected to it

  • Portege A100 - need new driver for graphics card to play games

    I own a Portege A100 and I need to update the graphics controller to play games.

    My problem is I went to the Download Center and the latest driver is currently installed in my notebook.
    I got this game running before but had my cell reprogrammed and don't remember how to operate.

    Help, please!

    Hmmmm... to be honest Portege is not portable for the games. Maybe for playing chess, but for some graphics intensive games is certainly bad laptop.

    Anyway, the question is what you want to do.
    Do you want to play some games or simply to grow old (already working) game to run again? Or maybe the two options?

  • Warning only when playing games coming

    Recently, while playing games on laptop there is a warning msg saying: the cooling system to burst failure turn off computer immediately. can't that playing games. any ideas would be great

    Hello

    Here's my idea: get the unit to a service provider!
    Your PC is probably not get enough cooling.
    Games usually generates a lot of heat, and thus can cause the message of cooling.

    Hope this helps

  • Satellite A500-17 X restarts all by playing games

    Hi all
    I've had my toshiba satellite a500-17 x for about two years, I bought to play Starcraft and world of warcraft. Since I got it I had a problem with it. While playing games it would suddenly reboot the laptop. I contacted customer support and has it been reduced to see if they can find out what was wrong with her. They said that it was fine and it must be the games software that was causing the problem. (I don't think that this is the problem because I reinstalled all the software and the problem persisted)

    I felt they were trying to bluff me with this answer. They did not have an inspection into debt to try to resolve the problem or I thought that the model itself was wrong.

    In any case, I wanted to say that the laptop can sometimes play fine for hours, but other days it will crash repeatedly.

    I just want to point something; my graphics driver is updated. My vents are quite clear. The temperature is stable. I put the maximum power management. I play with a battery and the laptop is plugged. This happened also to a cold start.

    During the restart I don't give me any warning. The laptop turns just stop (no beeps, no blue screen) and restarts.

    I've never posted here before, and I would really appreciate your help.

    I know that this has been a problem in the past with this model that I searched the forums for solutions, but I can't find one.

    If you know a solution, I would be very grateful.
    Thank you

    Hello

    I fear that you will not be able to find a quick fix here Mr. all that you have done is just and you use your laptop on the right way.
    Have you noticed this problem while using laptop for daily activities or that comes into play only? Is original recovery image Toshiba preinstalled on your laptop or use clean install of the OS?
    >... I just want to point something; my graphics driver is up to date
    What it means? Using the Toshiba download page display driver or you have installed the driver on the graphics card manufacturer page?

  • Can I play games like the SIMS 3 and oblivion on Satellite A300D-17F?

    Hey,.

    I will soon buy the laptop Satellite A300D-17F, which has an AMD turion ultra 2.2 ghz, 4 GB RAM, ATI hd 3650, drive HARD 320 5400 rps... etc...
    I was wondering if I could play games on it, but not crysis and far cry 2. I like games like Oblivion and sims...
    I'm going to play these games without any problem and especially the sims 3 and oblivion... ??

    Thank you!!!

    Hello!

    Well for Oblivion, you need at least a processor at 3 GHz, 1 GB of RAM and a graphics card Radeon X 800 for details.
    So I think that there should be no problem to play oblivion on medium-high quality, may be high is also possible.
    Furthermore, I played The Elder Scrolls III (Morrowind), the game before and I liked it, it s a very nice RPG. :)

    I was wondering if you wrote about the SIMS 3 it of not released yet so system requirements are not known to me.
    But I think that it should also work on your laptop at least of low quality.

    Good bye

  • Qosmio X 770-system of cooling and temperature while playing games

    I would buy this laptop but a don't know anything about the cooling system. Is it good or bad?
    I would like to know the temperatures in normal mode and playing games.

    Thanks for the replies

    Hey,.

    Why the cooling system should be bad? I mean that this laptop is all new and latest Qosmio X model on the market. It has material more recent and powerful that you can buy for money at the moment. In addition he s pretested by Toshiba, if the cooling system is good enough for this great piece of equipment. The Toshiba case install another system of cooling or not release it ;)

    I read a few tests on the Internet and it has a good ratings. Very high performance and good temperatures because he has a big case and cooling system.

    Why the temperatures are so important?
    Fact is that you always have higher temperatures while gaming because every piece of hardware work with high or maximum performance. This causes a lot of heat for the laptop will be hotter than the train to surf the Internet.

    If I had enough money, I would buy this laptop. I like to play games, so the laptop is perfect and it comes with screen FullHD :)

  • Can I play games like Counter strike on Satellite L300d-11V

    Hello

    My Satellite L300D-11-v can play games like counter strike source?
    I installed, but they are unplayable.

    Any help please?
    U can change graphics shared in the Bios?

    Hello!

    I think that a Satellite L300 is not the laptop to play new games like Counter Strike Source. The Qosmio series is perfect for play.

    You have the latest graphics driver? Do not play on the higher quality settings, set it to medium or low.

    And if you buy a computer game on the back of the packaging are the required configuration. So that you can see if it s able to play (good) on your laptop.

    Bye!
