I can't get my games installed on windows to play. I click on them, get the whirlwind as his work to open but does not work. Help!

I can't my windows games to play. You know the ones that come already installed on Windows 7.

Hi abarbato,

Thanks for posting on Microsoft Answers!

1 what is the error message when you run the default games in Windows?

2 it is limited to a particular game or all games?

3
use (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:
1. open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, right-click Guest, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.
2. type the following command and press ENTER:
sfc/scannow
The sfc/scannow command. analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

More information on SFC scan found in this document:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

4. Uninstall and reinstall the games:
1. click on start and in the search bar type "Turn Windows feature on or off.
2. navigate to the games, and clear the check box next to it.
3. restart the computer and same way go to the games and put a check mark (this will be re - install games)

I hope that helps!

Thank you, and in what concerns:

  • I can't get the XP updates. I need SP3 but need the hotfix for AMD chip which I can't until I have install SP2.

    I am just an ordinary computer user and do not have a great understanding of the technical side of things.

    After a lot of blue screens, I did a fresh install of xp family. I installed avast anti virus and then made sure that windows update was. Then I tried in vain to download SP2, the fix for SP3 and AMD. Without these, it seems, I can't get the needed updates.

    I'd appreciate if someone could give me English simple, easy to understand solutions or, links to click on who would control the repairs or whatever it is that is missing.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hello

    This AMD patch you were talking in your original question? I'm not aware of all the other fixes AMD (but this does not mean there is one, are not my knowledge is not encyclopedic!).

    Windows Update no longer works unless you have installed SP3. SP3 should be able to be installed from the link I provided above, but I would like to uninstall IE8 first and then re-install later.

    Download SP3...

    Download IE8...

    But I wouldn't do anything else until we have at the bottom of the AMD patch that you think you have need.

  • How can I get the internal speakers to work on a hpvs15 screen

    I have NEEDED HELP GETTING THE INTERNAL speakers to WORK ON A HPVS15 MONTOR!

    Hello

    Try a reset of the monitor. Unplug the power cord from the monitor and hold the power button of the monitor for 30 to 60 seconds. Plug the monitor back in and it lights up.  Does that help?

    Consult this Manual.  Go into the on-screen display-->> volume and turn up to max all the sounds?

    Don't forget that you have a green audio cable plugged into the monitor and audio output on your PC port. Don't forget to unplug the headphones.

    Try a PC speaker separated in order to eliminate the PC as the problem.  You can also try the monitor and cable on another PC.

  • I can't get the spell checker to work

    The instructions I read constantly talk about menu options, I don't see. Then I found a link to download a dictionary and followed the hope that might work, and when I tried to install that it said that it was not compatible with 33. If I can't get Firefox fix the spelling I am gooing to delete it immediately. I can't believe that I have already spent a lot of time on something so fake, but impossible to live without, in my world.

    There is no spell check Firefox for Android.

    Most keyboards have this feature by suggesting words that you type. The spelling of the words you enter correctly value is low. In addition dictionaries for all the languages that Firefox support would result in a greater app to download in megabytes.

  • I can't get the thing to door drive to open!

    Im trying to get a game in my computer, but when I push the door release button does not open! We bought our tour from amazon, and it has been refurbished. I raise the door open, or there at - it another way I can open it without damaging it?

    If you just got this computer refurbished thanks to Amazon, you should seriously consider to directly send back if not 100% operational.

    That being said, here are a few things to try:

    1 open the computer and click on the CD drive, then select eject.

    2 turn off the computer and press and hold eject for the CD drive in when you start the computer to the top.

    3. get a paper clip and one end on open if you have somethng to search with. Look on the front of your CD Player for a very small pin hole.

    Place the open end of the paperclip into the hole of a PIN and push gently but firmly keeping it perpendicular to the front of the player.

    I think you get some success on one of these methods. The last one is usually reserved for out a totally defective CD/DVD disc.

  • How can I get the HP Laserjet P3005 work in Vista?

    I tried all the drivers that are listed in the download area drivers. I connected the printer via USB, it says that the generic driver will not work.  He can not get the printer to recognize. Now, when I plug the printer to the usb port, it appears in Device Mgr as USB hub generic.  I can't figure out how to install this printer.

    Sorry, my bad.

    Run the file and take note of the extracted path.

    (for example C:\HP LJP3005 PCL6 driver)

    Connect the USB cable to your PC and to ignore auto-detection.

    Enter the control panel > printers

    Click on the bar of tools add printer, and then select a local printer.

    Select the listed USB port (e.g., USB001 or DOT4 USB) and click Next

    Below is the list of printers, click on 'disk '.

    Enter the location of the extracted folder, then click Browse and select the file hpc300xc.

    Now, click Open and then OK

    If you see several models of printers, select the correct one and click OK until the end of the wizard.

  • How can I get the CC desktop application works correctly?

    Hello

    I bought a subscription, and now I am trying to install Adobe CC applications on my computer.

    Unfortunately, NOTHING works as it should...

    I tried calling support but they don't have me recalled more.

    Today, I finally managed to get the creative Cloud Desktop application installed, but it keeps giving me this message:

    "Creative cloud Setup no longer works, please uninstall and download again...". »

    I think I've tried all the suggestions, I've found. Uninstalling the application, repair disk permissions, stop and restart, using the cleaning tool, rename the OOBE folder in my library... All measures of any order and with a reboot and repair the permissions of the drive between the two.

    Also, I followed all the steps here: use of the cleaning tool CC to resolve installation problems. CC, CS3 - CS6

    The only thing I can think that don't go as described is the verification of the cleaning tool, also no log file is created.

    -When you see the message "Adobe Creative cloud cleaning tool completed successfully", click on quit and restart your computer.

    -In a text editor, such as TextEdit, open /Users/ [user name] / Adobe Creative cloud cleanser Tool.log.

    I don't know what remains perhaps, is there anyone who has had similar problems and has found a way around it?
    Any help is appreciated

    By the way, my MacBook Pro 13 "retina runs OSX 10.9.5 on an Intel Core i5 2.4 GHz with 16 GB or RAM. Cs6 all apps work without a lot of problems...

  • How can I get the spell checker to work on emails?

    New computer. Using Mozilla Thunderbird for email but the spell checker does not work.

    Do you have a dictionary installed or selected? (See attached image).

    You have activated the spell under Tools | Options of| Composition | The spelling?

    You can also download a dictionary in the settings pane opened by the latter sense, but the link it provides is almost certainly open in Thunderbird. At some point, it of better with the right button and select 'Open in browser' and it will re - open in your default browser. From there, you can download. I would recommend you right click on the proposed link, use "Save as" and download it. You can then drag the file downloaded from the window modules modules of Thunderbird, or use the small button to the left of the search box in the window.
