I can only play in windowed mode. Windows 7 turns black and hangs in mode full screen.

I recently updated my Acer Aspire 5739 G for Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit and had not really tried any games on it so far.  When I put in the disc for Civ IV and door to the top of the screen normal preplay, one with the options 'read', 'readme' and 'Quit' in this regard.  When I went to game, he began to load up, the screen went black as if it were passing in the game, and then it stops there.  The computer is not freeze because I got music on and he kept playing when the screen went and remained black.

So I tried another game, Supreme Commander.  Same thing.  Same thing with the other.  I've updated the drivers for the Nvidia GeForce GT 130 M to the most recent, but that did nothing.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled the games, but that has not changed anything either.  Also tried opening the game in compatibility mode for Vista I know wherever they worked before, but nothing.

Finally, after playing with the settings for a while, I decided to try to open in windowed mode because it seemed that when the games have tried full-screen was the problem, and of course, it works beautifully.

So what is happening here?  Why I can't play them full screen mode?  There is something really simple that I'm not just doing?

Fixed!

Just had to turn off Windows Defender and the problem was solved.

  • Hi, thanks for making me signed in - finally. Now, after the upgrade to the latest Firefox, I can not play videos. Addons & pluginns all turned on and up to date.

    Hello
    I was struggling to connect to the support site yesterday and while this problem has been resolved, I was advised to upgrade to the latest version of Firefox from the system noticed that I was using an old. I was using Firefox 33 without major issues or problems at all. However I went ahead with the update, which gave me the 34.0.5 version. If good so far until what I went to play some of my regular TV series, I had followed with the previous version, only now he would not play at all.

    I know these TV series, comming from abroad might contain some harmful content to my machine or others, but I am well covered and as I say earlier they were playing fine in the previous version of Firefox. Just earlier the same day.
    

    I will be grateful if you could throw some ideas in this.

    HI Juanverano,
    Is not a problem, Mode safe mode disables acceleration addons and hardware. If this continues and it is not an add on what will be the next step to try to disable acceleration:

    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. As this feature has been added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there are still some problems.

    You will have to perhaps restart Firefox for it to take effect, so save any work first (e.g. you compose mail, documents online that you are editing, etc.).

    Then perform the following steps:

    1. Open the Firefox Options (Preferences on Mac or Linux) as follows:

      • In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button

        then select Options Preferences on Mac or Linux, or Windows.

      • In 28.0 Firefox and earlier versions, click on the Firefox orange upper-left button, then select the 'Options' button or, if there is no button up Firefox, go to tools > Options.
    2. In the window of Firefox Options (or preferences), click on the Advanced tab, and then select general.
    3. You will find in the list of parameters, the checkbox use hardware acceleration when available . Clear this check box.
    4. Now restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.

    In addition, please check the updates for your graphics driver by following the steps in the following knowledge base articles:

  • VM shows a black screen mode full screen only

    I have a VM Windows Server 2012 R2 with two related clones. The clones related both work very well, but the first VM is having trouble automatically setting the resolution. I had the problem in VMware Workstation on my PC where the resolution would not change at all when I adjusted the size of the window, and now in VMware Fusion 7 when I try to switch full screen with it I just get a black screen with a mouse cursor until I switch from full screen.

    How can I fix it if I can use the virtual machine mode full screen?

  • I have windows xp after the installation of service pack 3 I can only start in safe mode

    I have windows XP after the installation of service pack 3 I can only start in safe mode?

    Hello

    ·         You get the error message?

    ·         What happens when you try to start in normal mode?

    Method 1

    Windows XP can in every start Safe Mode by default. Even if you select the option Start Windows normally, it always starts in Mode without failure. IOW, you can't get out of safe mode.

    This happens if the switch/SafeBoot is added to the Boot.ini file. / SafeBoot parameter forces a boot in safe mode by using the specified parameters. The available parameters are:

    (a) minimal

    (b) network

    (c) safeboot: minimal (alternateshell)

    For more information about the boot.ini switches, see visualization and correction of the settings of the boot on x 86 systems

    RESOLUTION

    (a) click Start, run and type MSCONFIG

    (b) click the Boot.ini tab

    (c) If you have a dual-boot system, select the entry that is appropriate under the [operating systems]

    (d) in section downstairs, Startup Options uncheck / hisFEBOOT

    (e) click OK

    (f) restart Windows

    The entry/SafeBoot are removed from the Boot.ini file.

    Method 2:

    If the above method is not the cause, it seems that Service Pack 3 is not installed correctly.

    Step 1: You try to run the system restore from safe mode that will repair return the computer to the point while it was working fine.

  • Offset of JInternalFrame mode full-screen exclusive Windows 7?

    < font size = 2 > Hi everyone I don't know if I'm posting this question in the right category then feel free to move it. I've recently been playing with full screen exclusive and JInternalFrames mode. What IV ' e noticed is now on all platforms I have tried works very well. By clicking and dragging the JInternalFrame to a new location, it's fast and responsive. However when you do this operation even under Windows 7 the JInternalFrame lags significantly behind the location of the mouse I'm dragging the inner frame. I did have the chance to test this on all other Windows such as Vista or XP platform, but I don't think that happens on these platforms, at least I don't remember that ever happens when I had Windows Vista and it does not occur in Mac OS 10.6.

    The circumstances that I found which produce this problem are:

    * 1. The program is set to full screen Exclusive mode.*
    * 2. You use Windows 7 (and possibly other Windows platforms). *
    * 3. Click and drag a JInternalFrame for a new same lieu.*

    I have tried several things to see if it solves the problem such as the definition of the appearance of cross-platform, but nothing helped. In fact, when the Lebanese armed forces are cross-platform, it is still worse.

    Now, I am new to the mode full-screen exclusive so I think (hope) it is a problem due to a mistake on my part. Here is the source code, I would appreciate it if you give it a try. My question is how can I correct this offset so that the JInternalFrame is quick and sensitive to the user drag the window and I wonder also if this happens only on Windows 7, so if someone could tell me also if they experience the problem I describe and the operating system that you use that would be great. Thanks guys :)

    Also, any input on the weather, I'll put up the mode full-screen exclusive mode correctly would be appreciated too. < / make >

  • Mode full-screen Windows 10

    I installed Firefox on a new computer with Windows 10 and initially failed to enter fullscreen (F11) mode. After some tests, I came up with a procedure that works, but involves starting Firefox twice each time - a minor annoyance.
    I have 1 'Favorites' tab and the other tabs open with a working fullscreen and close Firefox normally (I don't get the warning waited on the closure of several tabs). The following steps find Firefox upward and mode full-screen:

    1. launch Firefox. It gives a blank page expanded with the address bar and the bar tab with a single tab.
    2. press F11. Curiously, square set full-screen mode, it replaces the page 'Restored' size.
    3 maximize. Window extends to its appearance after step 1.
    4. stop Firefox. Window goes away.
    5. start Firefox a 2nd time. This time, it will come with the 'restoration' page Firefox (with address & tab bar) which shows the tabs that were open at the previous close and gives the opportunity to select the tabs you want to come this time.
    At this point F11 will toggle in and out of fashion full screen properly, so steps 6 and 7 can be either order.
    6. press F11. He's going to full screen (i.e. address & tab bars disappear).
    7. click on the button "restore". Earlier closing tabs are restored and F11 is fully functional.
    Issues related to the:
    1. Why don't I get the warning for closing multiple tabs? (It seems more to be an option.)
    2. because (in XP at least) the "Restoration" page should appear only after a forced or abnormal stop, why is she even get involved? (Both the cases referred were normal).
    3. why Firefox doesn't come until normal the first time, with only the tabs that have been pinned and F11 functional?

    Since the first opening of this problem, it seems that the updates have been applied to Firefox, Windows 10 or both, and itself has the problem. So "thank you" to the one who fixed it.

  • Computer hangs, reboot, can only start in safe mode

    Original title:-i can only start in safe mode

    Ive tried to use several restore points but when I try to reboot the computer freezes and I have to start in safe mode

    Safe mode is a mode where Windows works only the bare minimum programs and processes necessary to the performance of your system.  When you start in Normal mode, many more processes and applications running.  At least one of these programs or process causes your computer to crash.  If your task is to identify this program/process and, at least temporarily, to prevent it from running at startup.  Microsoft has a tool that you can use to selectively disable or or the process that normally run at startup called "msconfig".  It can be a long and exhausting iterative process of turning things off and restart to see if it you fixed program, but that's what you do:

    "How to solve configuration errors by using the System Configuration utility in Windows XP"

    <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310560/en-us >

    First, disable all items "start-up".  If it does not, set it to 'Services '.  If this does not work, then reactivate some of them and try again until you zero - in on the culprit.

    Photo look an _

    Hello, I was wondering if someone could help me.  In the windows photo gallery when I choose to display my screen full of pictures, it only shows the mode full-screen widescreen.  Instead, they are centered in the middle with two black lines down on part of the photograph.  I would like the image to fit the full screen. Anyone know how I can get around this problem?

    Hi WildRavin,

    This happens because the resolution of the monitor screen does not match the dimension of the image.

    Try matching the dimension of the image and the screen resolution or lower the resolution of the monitor screen and correspond to the dimension of the image, and check the results.
