I played the Sims 3 and it keeps down the toolbar every 5 minutes.
I tried to turn off my virus protection thought that might have something to do with it. I don't know what else to try.
Hi jknddobba,
Welcome to Microsoft Windows 7 answers Forum!
1. is happening with all the programs/applications or only with this game?
2. have you made changes in the settings of the game for example. to minimize the game after 5 minutes?
3. is that you keep the computer idle, or it occurs only during the game?
Method 1.
Alternatively, you can try to disable the Visual theme and the composition of the bureau.
Follow these steps to perform this action:
!. Right-click on the icon of the game.
2. go in properties, under the compatibility place a check on disable visual themes and disable Desktop Composition.
3. click on apply and then OK.
4. try to play the game now.
Method 2.
You can try to uninstall and reinstall the game, updating the game if necessary.
It will be useful.
Thank you, and in what concerns:

Satellite P300 - 20 H refresh the screen every 10 minutes and turn off during 3 sec
Hey,.
Basically, I bought my P300 Sat about a month previously and each time it runs, battery, the same error will occur...
It will update the screen every 10 minutes or more and turn off for 2-3 seconds.This isn't a big problem, but it is annoying that I can not sort.
I tried to run a check of problem to find a solution, but he says that he can not find a.Help, please
Thank you.Hello!
Can you please explain what you mean with refresh? And what exactly is happening?
It is not easy to say what the reason is for this, but have tested an external monitor on the laptop? And you can determine if it s a problem with the internal display or not.
In addition, you must make sure that you have installed the latest display driver and BIOS. The two you can find on the Toshiba site:
http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download driversIf you installed a display driver Toshiba not you should remove it. These display drivers can often cause problems and don t have protection against overheating.

I guess you mean the Win 7 Power Management.
Here a nice HowTo on + Win 7 power management +.
http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD12017W0001R01.htmHere you must concentrate on Wireless Adapter Power Saving Mode settings
There are four energy saving / performance parameters. If your Wi - Fi connection is unstable or slow, try selecting a higher performance tuning.This must be done for power profile that you use mode battery and sector.
I would also recommend to check different settings of the Wlan router.Check if your laptop disconnect Wlan which has no security (open) and various parameters of WiFi (WPA/WPA2 AES or TKIP) encryption
I also recommend you update the WLan driver (if possible)

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

Having too many CD/DVD programs can cause strange problems, especially if they're loading of parts of
themselves at the start because they will be competing for resources. This does not mean that this issue has been
caused by those, however, it's a possibility depending on which and how many you have installed.You have disk problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD burning and)
Playback of CD and DVD). So it is not unusual for parts from 1 or 2 to not work so that others do
correctly.Burning at low speed, or by using the master could help. A CD/DVD cleaner might help.
Brand of the CD or DVD drive can also be the problem. Low quality (cheap brands) are always problematic.
CD/DVDs have a tolerance + - and your can read/write on the edge outside these discs
tolerances. They may be delivered, but it is generally more economical to replace the disk.Several good info here:

Hello
You talked about the process of container Plugin, so I assume you really mean ads Flash. In this case, you need at least a few options to choose from:
(1) you can uninstall the Adobe Flash plugin . This will get rid of the real plugin, the Plugin container 'contains', but it will most likely be unwanted side effects: you will not be able to play some Flash games, or watch Flash video on Web sites that use them (e.g. Facebook).
(2) you could install an ad blocking extension in Firefox, like AdBlock Plus. These lots of ad, Flash extensions block not only those, but they can not and do not all ads block. If this is the path you choose, just head to the Addon Manager, enter 'Adblock' in the search field and install extensions referring to research. I do not use one of them myself, so I give my opinion on which of them, you need to install.
(3) my personal way preferred: Set Adobe Flash "Click to play" on Firefox. This will keep the Flash Plugin on your computer, but will allow you to opt-in to each page to see what the plugin is set to display (you can always allow websites that you want to enable Flash automatically, it just will not be the default behavior for more). -

I signed up for iTunes game several weeks ago mainly to unprotected quality 256 kbps versions of songs that I bought before 2008 (when iTunes send 256 Kbps files instead of 128 Kbps of lower quality files). When I did, about half of these old songs I had bought are accompanied by a status of 'Bought' iCloud and the rest were listed with a status of "Matched". I was puzzled by this because it seemed to me that thought iTunes doesn't recognize no I bought have these songs.
Finally, I have determined that the reason iTunes game didn't recognize them as bought because these 'Matched' files were bought during my AppleID had a different e-mail that are associated with account. It's the same AppleID account, but another email. I also found that I could still upgrade files Matched from 128 Kbps to 256 Kbps. I also have available files of the song offline upgrade, which of course them on my hard drive.
Because I signed up to get the files updated level, I will finally be cancelling the iTunes account Match. Now, as many of these songs are listed as matched and not purchased, I wonder what will happen when I cancel iTunes game. Still, I'll be able to play the downloaded files, sync with my iPhone, etc. after that game is cancelled? In addition, there are a few songs that were purchased in the framework AppleID to my wife that currently are as well matched, and I am allowed to read files purchased with his account. I want to upgrade these files and download them as well. When I canceled the game, will I still be able to play the improved version of his songs?
Thanks for any information you can provide. :-)
Hello
Once you have downloaded the upgraded pieces, you will keep them. PS Keep another upward.
Purchased in General securities are purchased but some will come, probably because an upgrade of the original is not possible for example that the version of the album is no longer available.
The purchased prevoiuly of the corresponding securities does not appear under previous purchases. Also, be aware that if you need to redownload past purchases, you get the original version of the DRM 128 no upgrade.
