    I encounter an error that I had enjoyed the tips on.

    I have a set of Google Book I am trying to add Digital Editions. When I try to open the .acsm file, I get the error: "Error getting License. "License Server Communication problem: E_IO_CANNOT_OPEN.

    After reviewing similar error reports, I have authorized off re-authorized and uninstalled ADE & installed the older versions 2.0, 3.0 (1.7.2,) and get the same error in each version. I also tried ADE on two different (one computers running Windows 8 and one running Windows 7).

    Thanks for any suggestions you may have.

    I got the 4.0.1 version works on my Windows 7 computer. I uninstalled again and then travelled on all related files of Digital Editions and directory I could find in the settings or the user data and app. Restarted. Re-installed 4.0.1. A got a new error when you try to authorize the computer that led me to remove a key from the registry as described on this page: http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-editions/kb/error-e_act_not_ready.html

    Start of ADE, authorized computer and then be able to add books. No network settings have been changed. No proxy server was running. 4.0.1 ADE on my Windows 7 now adds files .acsm books.

    Still get the same error E_IO_CANNOT_OPEN on my machine Windows 8 after trying the same process. I suspect some files have been hidden after uninstall that I managed to serve in Windows 7 and caused some conflict leading to the error, are still there, somewhere in the file system.

  • Re: Can I put my games Satellite A300-1J1 capablities

    Hello

    I have a 1J1 Toshiba Satellite A300 I would use for the games. He seems to play the older games very well but recently I bought games of 2008 and it is really slow.

    What can I do to improve the way this machine play the latest games?
    What should I have upgraded?

    Thank you.
    Joe

    In my opinion, the only thing that can help is to upgrade the memory to the maximum level. In this case more memory will be available for graphics operations.
    The maximum RAM for Intel GM965 chipset is 4 GB.

    By the way: updated graphics card is not possible.

  • Microsoft stops working when I want to play a game installed

    I recently bought a game on big fish site, and when I go to turn it on, a window of microsoft windows is telling me that the game has stopped working. Ive checked with the site and everything seems to be working there. It happened also when I bought games at walmart and when I want to play games that comes with the windows program. I bought my computer new last summer and it is a laptop, don't know why it doesn't let me play games.

    You mean updating the graphics card driver, uninstall, it should not be necessary, and since it is a laptop there very probably a chipset, not a card.

    natashawraight, if you go to the website of the manufacturer of your laptop, it should have the drivers you need.

  • Games in drive C downloads

    I am trying to understand C:\users\downloads. There are a lot of downloads in the file/folder/or whatever it is that I don't know if I should keep. I am particularly inquire computer downloaded games can be trial versions or bought games. These downloads are still needed after purchase and how do I make a difference if half or more of them are trial versions? There is a game manager with all games purchased on sale but I am uneducated in the consequences of the abolition of this place.

    It is always safer to delete things in the downloads folder, those who are here for your personal use.  The programs are not in these files to work.

    -For safety - it's a good idea to delete only things in the trash.  So you can restore them later if you need.  After some time, when you are sure that you need, you can 'empty trash' to remove them permanently.

  • GTA IV: Episodes from Liberty City, Rockstar Social Club & Games for Windows LIVE, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and hate the DRM

    Me and my sister - the aforementioned Hellz Bellz 500 - have a problem. Before going further, I would like to say that all the mentioned games and services in the title work on my - brother - PC, which is connected to the same router with the same settings and a similar system in place. Good so now problems.

    So the problem came to light when you try to play the version of Steam GTA IV: EFLC. At the start of the game, that comes to the screen, which says categorically that of connection R * Social Club "unavailable Social Club. Play offline or try again. "When checking on my own PC, the CD is available and I can connect without problems.
    Then when playing in offline mode, GFWL appears down and we invite to open a session. We do conscientiously and it asks for the CD key. We type in and it tries to download the profile of my sisters. It is at this stage he throws the message connection error and refuses to open a session. Verifying the network connection, we get this:
    However not only my computer has an internet IP address, he said also UPnP is signed in. And when we check the router settings you can also see that the UPnP is enabled. Initially, we thought the problem unique to GTA IV: EFLC, but as the sale of steam, we bought games increasingly supplied with GFWL and the problem persists.
    It is also strange that the problem seems to affect GFWL and R * SC, since my sister and I are still able to play other games such as L4D, TF2 etc.
    To close this post I will list everything, we tried until now to get this to work without success, if you feel you can help, but need more information, then ask and I'll try to answer.
    GTA IV: EFLC:
    1. Install the latest patch of R * site - unsuccessful
    2. Check the integrity of the property of steam - 5 missing and re-downloaded files cache
    3. Run as administrator - right click and default setting in the compatibility settings
    4. Add as a profile in windows firewall
    R * SC:

    1. Change the time system to 10/22/2011 - an old patch recommended by R *.
    GFWL:

    1. Install the latest patch from the Microsoft Web - connection unsuccessful again issues site
    2. Add as a profile in windows firewall
    Windows 7:

    1. Disable the firewall
    2. CMD - ipconfig/flushdns
    3. Remove and renew IP via CMD
    Router:

    1. Port forward the ports required for GFWL
    2. The mode 'game '.
    3. Connect the Ethernet cable to a different port
    All you other ideas?

  • iTunes not listen or download my TV shows.

    I am running iTunes 12.4.3 on El Capitan 10.11, currently connected to my account. I bought episodes of TV shows that I listened to before, but today they will not leak. When you try to download them, an error message appears saying that the episodes cannot be downloaded or the other. I rebooted my machine one or twice to nothing does, and iTunes displays up to date.

    Any advice?

    I bought Game of Thrones in the States and in streaming in France, but I don't think that would be a problem I've been streaming fine for the last few days.

    Any help is appreciated!

    Hello

    Your problem happens because of your change of places. Your purchase will apply only to the USA and you can not download them in another country.

  • Assassin's Creed and Hitman have stopped working, is there a solution?

    I have Creed of Assassin's I, II and brotherhood, Hitman: Silent Assassin, Hitman:Blood Money, Hitman:Contracts and the original 47 Hitman:Codename.  Now one of the seven will load and read, but it's the only program, the only one that does not appear on the list of installed programs, being the Codename 47.

    These games, used to work just fine until Ubisoft has improved the Game launcher to 2.x software and now all my games that are installed have stopped working and fail to finish loading.  They claim that the pitcher throws other programs on the PC outside their software.  Now none of them work, including other games that are not Ubisoft.  I tried CCleaner, uninstall, then reinstall, etc. anything.  They seem to have changed some of the files base within the Pro Win7 OS I use.  It of very frustrating and lost more time to try to nail down trying to find the changes that have been made.  Short of a new Win7Pro facility, which would empty all the software that I installed and if I do that I can as well wipe the entire hard drive, and then start over again, I really don't want to do.  I'm afraid that if I buy a new game that uses graphics to high-end of my CPU and GPU capabilities, it does not work either and it will just be wasting my money and time as well.  Is there any real help to this other question that the stars from scratch?

    I built my own off the shelf components, is a system of Wintel ASUS mother board and video card (ATI 1 GB), Intel processor i7 quad core 950 3.07 GHz, Win7Pro, 6 GB of DDR3 RAM, etc.  just a notch below extreme, built when the 950 had just been out for a month or 2.  It was and is still, works very well.  Somehow the OS files seem to have been changed.  All other software such as AutoCAD and other rendering software, works very well.

    So I think a Ubisoft launcher feature is supposed to prevent you from having to be online when you play the games?
    All of these downloads of steam games or are they a mix of disk and download?

    Have you tried disabling your Virus Ainti?

    I still don't think that the "launcher" mess with Windows is just a buggy application and is may be in conflict with something else.
    You can try running through clean boot to see if there are conflicts.
    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    If there is no joy in the light of the foregoing, and the game specific forums (I see there are a lot of entries when you perform a search on the web about the Ubisoft Launcher) do not always provide a fix, I'd be inclined to do a system restore and to uninstall the game and return as it is or wait until Ubisoft unravel the 'Launcher '.

    "Ubisoft and Steam do not have the Hitman series.
    Quite right - EIDOS

    "They really need to regroup."
    You're not wrong. Beginning with a focus on customer satisfaction and service rather than deal with the honest customers like the enemy, but unfortunately, Ubisoft is not alone in this attitude, it is pervasive throughout the "industry" of the game.
    Another reason for the bad attitude of the suppliers of computer software is the people
    the Government doesn't understand computers and let software vendors
    away with things than the other mfg cannot when it comes to the marketing of a defective product.
    Here in Oz, we can return a store bought game that wreaks havoc on
    remove the machine as this game is made to your (not offering is not an alternative to not install the Launcher is an abrogation of our rights), as something that does not work as intended or designed is deemed defective, but dealing with one online
    provider as the steam is a minefield with little protection by the law of sustainable consumption.

    Games Steam can be a problem. What I hated on steam before getting broadband services (only on 18mos ago) was having to update the game before you play. Even offline.
    I was unable to play (purchased on disk) FEAR2 for nine months because of the huge (a little less than 2 GB) patch. When HL2 is released, it took, I don't even remember how long, to be able to play the game for the same reason.
    I should have returned FEAR2 (HL2 came with a gpu) but I new that I have to get broadband in the end.  so I don't bother.
    Steam is fortunately fairly well adjusted these days. As long as you have
    Broadband and let the steam do as he wishes on the Steam Client and updates when you start Steam line, and then play games
    of steam offline is no problem.
    The new kids on the block are still going but one, ' to make the consumer a
    Beta-test of Guinea pig while we try to imitate the steam ' phase.
    GFWL (not exactly new) is always a big fight that I would be a little further
    (in my dreams).
    Come EA from what I've read is not much fun for some either.
