• Not able to play the game Metro 2033 on Windows Vista-based computer.

  I just installed the game Metro 2033 on my Vista system that uses a 1080 screen.  In fact, I have two identical screens.

  The game requires activation Steam and Steam normally will attempt to update the program rather than simply enable it during installation.  This leaves a person in the dark as to what happens during the installation.

  It turns out, I use a 3G modem that Steam refuses to support their network of Bit Torrent, so download speed for an update of a concert is around 12 kb/s or 8 hours to make the point on a program that has not yet installed.

  After work, I was quite surprised to find that the program would not go on Steam.  He then took a few hours to find out that there is a solution, that I could load the game by running the executable file that had been installed in the directory Steam for Metro 2033.

  Unfortunately Metro2033, when started this default way a unknown screen resolution.  Thus when the game is started from the Steam directory nested, one gets a message "out of range" on the display of 1080 and nothing can be seen.

  Short of launching the game out, I tried the game again, to my great joy, the second run displays a safe mode issue and I ran it in safe mode.  It is quite an exciting game and I played it all night.  However, I had also contacted support original THQ regarding installation problem/solution.

  Then I fell asleep.  The PC was on.

  The next day, I played the 2003 Metro game again, but I entered in some difficult areas of the game, and I had to reload the saved game.  After awhile, I opted to exit the program.  Later, I started the program, but this time I inadvertently clicked on the Metro2033 icon who had installed Steam.   In my solution, I had pasted a link to the directory of Steam under the original icon and had pressed the wrong button.

  Of course, the first thing I saw, after playing the game for 12 hours, was "out of range".  I opted to return to the office...

  ... However I couldn't come back on the Vista desktop.  I have a 7000, and even Microsoft Entertainment keyboard by pressing the buttons of Windows or Media center wouldn't let me come back to the office.

  The day before, I needed to do this that I've experienced to workaround to start getting and I noticed that the only way I could get on the desktop to run the Task Manager to kill the out of range on my screen message has been to press the Media Center button.

  Once the Media Center menu on breaking the subway 2003 menu I could then enter the office and use the Task Manager.

  However, the next day when I inadvertently started the STEAM version, and again, the screen is become black and says 'Out of Range', I found that my system was stuck in this loop.  No way to get in the Manager of tasks at all, not even with the Media center button on my keyboard.

  Now the background of my question.  When I was forced to start my system again, I noticed the normal BIOS screen and the bar of Vista with Vista is loading, then the familiar sound of Vista boot, but now NO SCREEN at all on startup!  Now, something had inserted a driver in my Vista start which forced my display say "Out of Range" from the start of the desktop of Vista and Vista computer has not yet noticed this.  Normally, I would think that they claim that the screen resolution is wrong and put it on, instead, nothing else than the out of range message rigid or flexible boots.

  Original title: can someone tell me what happened here? Metro2033 and steam game.

  I checked by plugging my second monitor.   The system has Safe Mode startup and I was able to do a restore of the system from the previous day to evening to return to the office.   However, I am quite confused as to what happened.  How the Metro 2033 problem "out of range" migrate to Windows startup by running an update of Steam?

  I use the latest service pack for Vista.

  
  

  It seems that the STEAM snuck in an update and then everything worked fine.

• Can not play the game of Mahjong MJWIN on Windows 7

  I have Windows Vista on my laptop. I have MJWIN Mahjong transferred to a floppy disk 3 1/2 "on my USB key, on a computer in local library Win XB or Win 7. Successfully, I opened and played the game of the stick on the library computer to verify that it worked. Got home and plugged into my laptop which then displays only some files and without their .exe or .tis or other suffixes. 3 - letter.  A box of* appeared saying that Windows could not open the files. The 2 options have been no help. I was able to play this game even from the memory stick, a couple of years, when I got this computer, but since I had it cleaned out a bunch of virus approximately a year later (that has accumulated me over a period quite unbeknownst) I can't play the game more than the stick. The game was also removed from the computer during the cleanup, but not because of the virus removal.  Viruses were not in the stick or on the diskette. What should I do to play the game? What files can I convert (like the kind of dialog suggested*)? Although I shouldn't really need to because as I said earlier, I could play the stick when I bought the camera, and when I down load at the time of the stick.  I can't download this time of the stick, just play the stick.

  Hello

  1. who is the creator of the game Mahjong?
  2. from which site did you download this game?
  3. were you able to play these games on vista?
  4 "Windows could not open the file" which is the full and exact error message?

  Please answer these questions that might help us helping you better.

  May be that file extensions are hidden, try to view it and check.

• Windows 7 ult 64, play the game and watch movie

  can someone please offer me a solution to this dilemma?

  I recently bought a new computer, with quad core 3.4, win 7 ult 64 and want to really take advantage of the quadcore.

  I would like to play call of duty as my wife is watching a movie on windows support.

  at the moment I have on board sound and my motherboard has no video embedded if im using a nvidia 9400gt 1 GB

  Do I need an additional sound card and a video card?

  I'd really appreciate any input!

  Thank you advance!

  The key for a monitor is in windowed mode. 90% games today (and older games) have a very basic function called windowed mode. What it does is present the game in a window much like solitaire or windows media player.

  The main problem is that you have a nvidia 9400 (which, if it is similar to the x 400 series should push the 2 monitors), who has an obvious lack of graphics power. Call of Duty 1 and DVD-quality video could be pushing.

  Beash19,
  The first thing to do, if you have not already, is to update your video card driver.  Once this is done, if the problem persists, contact the manufacturer of game for a possible fix or the update of the game.  If this is the only program that he comes up with seems so they need provide a type of update.

• After playing the game the Sims 2, impossible to shut down the computer, get black screen

  Hi all

  I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, and I recently installed the Sims 2 DVD Edition. The game itself works very well. He's not planting or lag or cause my computer is turned off. I can walk much and create characters; what I noticed is that some of the sound effects play, which is minimal.
  However, after playing the game and I'm going to shut my computer down, the screen just goes black and the computer stays on. The processor will run nothing will work. The computer just stays, but the screen remains black. He doesn't even go to the "shutting down" screen or anything. Straight black. I let it stay like that for 15 minutes just to see if maybe, it was just to take some time, but the computer still shuts.
  It normally stops if I do not play Sims 2.
  Original title: Sims 2 causing my computer does not shut down properly?
