I have had 4 games installed by the cd on my computer worked fine for months. Now they keep encounters an error and must close

I have 4 games installed by CD I played for months, with no problems. We had the power to go out and I turned it off so it wouldn't be a problem when the power came. Reconnected everything, the next day and when I tried to access ONE of the games I have installed, I get "Microsoft has encountered a problem and needs to close" and I send error report. I took and uninstalled and reinstalled the games, but no luck. I contacted one of the manufactorers game and they gave me directions to go and get manually for the game to start and create a new shortcut. I followed their directions and that did not work. I have the home edition, XP and century link DSL. I even disconnected my DSL and re-installed the game - no difference. (these games have not played also online) I don't think that this is a problem with the games, or why it would happen in all 4 games? Besides my Spider solitaire and freecell properly. And I can come back and play a game on facebook without problem. Help?

I want to thank all who have responded and have tried to help. Fixed the problem in fact itself, without my help. So, my first thought was that it was a matter of microsoft, must have been the case. And in the future, I'll wait a few days, after the error reports are sent to microsoft, before that I worry about what I might need to do. Thanks again!

    Check if you have an F LOCK key in the top right of your keyboard.

    If this is not the case, try a system restore:

    Restore point:

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

    Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  • The new tab page was going well for MONTHS, had an image I have uploaded. Today, I had a 'safe' mode what to be, and my image disappeared. How do I restore, so my image rises?

    I had set up my new tab page with an image I have uploaded. It worked fine for months, or even years.

    Today, I had a 'crash' that asked me to start Firefox in "safe" mode or "restore". I chose "restore."

    On this, my image disappeared from my the new tab page. I can't find how to restore and Add ons that supposedly allow me to add my own image are not useful. At least, I can't understand them.

    Can provide you assistance on a computer for Dummies level?

    If you deleted the folder "Old data Firefox" you have not the ability to restore your previous profile data.

    If it's an image you have stored on your computer, you can open this image in a Firefox tab (Firefox > new tab > open a file).

    This will give you the file:// URL in the address bar and you can use a copy and paste this file is enabled in the new tab page.

    You can set the browser.newtab.url pref on the topic: config page and set the value of this pref on this URL for you the new tab page.

    You can open the topic: config page via the bar addresses as you open a web page.

  • I run windows xp on HP Pavilion 750, in the past, I have not had a problem writing to the pictures from my computer to a disc

    I run windows xp on HP Pavilion 750, in the past, I have not had a problem writing to the photos from my computer on disc.

    It now written up so I get a message cannot keep any body can help please.

    original title: problem writing Photos...

    I'm sorry, but I don't have a solution for you.  You can check the Device Manager (start > run > devmgmt.msc > OK) to see if there are warnings next to your CD burner.  If there is a caution icon, double-click the entry and see what it says under "device status".

    I don't know how you use picture & Fax Viewer to burn a CD.  The usual method, except if you have 3rd party CD burning software, is to use Windows Explorer.  This is what Windows XP Help & Support has to say on this topic:

    To copy files and folders to a CD

    1. Insert a blank, writable CD into the CD burner.
    2. Open my computer.
    3. Click the files or folders to copy to the CD. To select multiple files, hold down the CTRL key while you click the files you want. Then, under file and folder tasks, click copy this file, copy this folder, or copy the selected items.

      If the files are located in my pictures, under management of images, click copy to CD or copy all items to a CDand go to step 5.

    4. In the dialog box copy items , click the CD player record, and then click copy.
    5. In my computer, double-click the CD burner. Windows displays a temporary area where the files are held before they are copied to the CD. Verify that the files and folders you want to copy to the CD appear under files ready to be written on the CD.
    6. Under CD writing tasks, click write these files to CD. Windows displays the Assistant burn a CD. Follow the instructions in the wizard.

    Notes

    • To open my computer, click Startand then click my computer.
    • Do not copy more files to the CD that it will hold. Standard CD hold up to 650 megabytes (MB). Large capacity CD contain up to 850 MB.
    • Don't forget that you have enough disk space on your hard disk to store the temporary files that are created during the CD writing process. For a standard CD, Windows reserves up to 700 MB of available disk space. For a high-capacity CD, Windows reserves up to 1 gigabyte (GB) of the available free space.
    • After you copy files or folders to the CD, it is useful to view the CD to verify that the files are copied.

  • I reently installed Windows 10 and had to re - install Photoshop CS2 Version 8. It works very well but he says it's a trial version how to activate it?

    I have recently installed Windows 10 and had to re - install Photoshop CS2 Version 8. It works very well but he says it's a trial version how to activate it?

    You can not activate Photoshop CS2 as long as obsolete Adobe product activation server. Instead, you will need to download a special version that uses a different serial number, and does not need activation. Note the serial number to the right of the product name. Your existing serial number will not work

    Hope that helps.

My new computer is Windows 7 and I get the message "use an environment to display 1024 * 768, 16 bits or more. I don't know what that means and I don't know how to achieve this necessary "display environment.

    The video camera is a Panasonic SDR-H100 with VideoCam Suite 3.5 CD to operate.

    designates the monitor display settings 1024 * 768

    This means that the software is probably not supported under win7, visit the site to see if the software update is available for use with your camera Panasonic

    Original title: runtime library

    When you install the game World of warcraft it installs ok but the problem comes when the patch is installed, when it is 99% done windows gives me an error message

    Microsoft visual c ++ runtime library then said he has encountered an error and must terminate the program, I never had this problem when I put the game on my HARD lecteur2 replaced because he was going to die on me

    My operating system is Windows Vista SP2

    Help me please if you can

    Thank you much xx

    Hi Hopson81,

    Try to install the patch by starting the computer in selective startup mode (also known as a clean boot state).

    Start your computer in a clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.

    For instructions, see How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7 .

    Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

    after update to XP media center units Vista remote control

    Just upgraded to Vista Home Premium to XP.  Got a Packard Bell with RF for the Media Center remote control, worked fine with XP, but is no longer compatible with Vista.  I checked the usb driver for the usb XF-10 rf remote receiver and it is fine, uninstalled and reinstalled it.  Handset was working fine a few days ago.  I also went in 'Administrator', 'services' and then active HID, but it still does not work.  Media works well, but it would be nice to have the operation of the remote control!  Not particularly computer, simply suggestions please!  Thank you, Nick.

    I suggest you to check the battery. Additionally, make sure that you have installed the right drivers for you Consumer IR Port.
