• What is the unit of allocation best partition optimized for games and other files?

  Original title: Dear lads! I'm buying a Western Digital Caviar Black 500 GB, and I intend to optimize my HARD drive

  I want to tell you, what I usually use my PC, so you can help me with the allocation units, partitions and the locations of the page file.

  -Use computer games for most of my quality time. I wonder, what is the unit of allocation best partition optimized for games
  -I download and download a large number of files. I'll create a separate partition for this kind of data?
  -I'll have access to 2 different hard disks the following day. Will I dedicate entire storage for the pagefile? (I've got GB of physical RAM)
  Thank you in advance for your time and suggestions!

  «Also, I would like to know, if I needed a file at all, or I could skip just use it, because I read something like: pagefile is mainly used for memory images, which I don't really need (some have suggested, you don't even need it on servers).»

  When you move the pagefile to another PHYSICAL disk, you should always leave a little on C, perhaps 500 MB, for things like memory dump files. Next, you define a "system managed" pagefile on the other disk.

  It never makes sense to totally eliminate the swap file and don't forget that the swap file is not a Microsoft invention designed to shoot to the top of the hard drive space. OS UNIX, Linux and Mac too, independently use the totals of RAM...

• How can I use the SDK for games and where is it located?

  Hello and thank you for reading this,

  I'm new to Flash and have tried to find a good tutorial on how to use it to design flash games, and this has proved to be difficult. I read on the website of adobe that the Gaming SDK has examples of projects and the codes that I could use for learning purposes. I can't find the location of the download of these scripts and examples of projects. If someone could point me to the place where they would be or a recommended tutorial on how to develop a flash game that would be very appreciated. I found the download location to other software (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc. which is C:\program files\adobe\) but there is no game SDK.

  I use Windows 7 and am currently subscribed to CC.

  In Windows, they are in: C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe Gaming SDK 1.4

  Samples and a guide and others are there as well.

• Satellite A500-19U - need help for games and the AC adapter / CC

  Heys guys.

  I got my new Satellite A500-19U and install games on it like COD4, assassin Creed, Batman, Mafia 2 .and much

  All of these games crashes & freezes after screen black or white, 3-5 Min & gimmea and this happenWHILE CONNECT the AC ADAPTER to charge the battery. While using the battery just fine, except some crashes after a long period of palying. Some time, he said (the display driver not responding) & sometimes the screen black or white. The only way to recover the laptop is ALT + CTRL + DELETE and wait until the game to recover & cases laptop stop responding & the only way is to hard reboot.

  The only one that works such fine bit is Battlefield Bad Company 2. Then I change the DirectX (setting.ini) of car in DirectX9.

  SP please any help on this matter. I think it's a video driver or a Windows 7 problem. And the specifications are:

  Processor: Inter Core 2 Due P7450 2.13 GHz
  RAM: 4 GB DDR3
  VGA: Nvidia Geforce G210M with the driver from the Toshiba Site has also tested the latest driver from Nvidia Site Version: 258.96
  OS: Windows 7 64-bit [pre-installed]

  I think that its not big problem for Toshiba co.  :)

  Hi mate

  I think that it is a nuisance driver in most cases not entirely compatible graphics cards drivers are the reason why games dishes t working correctly.

  What to say; I think that the update of the driver is the key
  You will need to find a good driver version
  Toshiba pilot European page you can find the latest drivers published by Toshiba
  But this does not mean that these are the most recent drivers released by nVidia or ATI
  nVidia or ATI drivers are always different

  In order to check the drivers from nVidia page too.
  You can also try the version published on the Web site www.omegadrivers.net or www.laptopvideo2go.com
  But note; These are not tested drivers and use is at your own risk!

• I bought a new laptop with Windows 7 home authentic. I have a C: drive and two recovery disks. If I want to do two more an for games and other players for other stuff. How can I?

  If my windows gets crashed, for example, how do I retrieve that all? Please help me I am new user... I heard that if you other readers, you will be left place with no recovery disk to recover your windows in the back...

  If you do a non-destructive partition, it will not affect the recovery Partitions since those who are usually hidden. I suggest you use Easeus Partition Manager to create:

  EASEUS Partition Master Home Edition - http://download.cnet.com/Easeus-Partition-Manager-Home-Edition/3000-2248_4-10863346.html

  More information: tools to partition the free Windows disk: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13880_3-20058506-68.html

  ---------------

  The amount of space that you allocate will depend on what you plan to do with it, I allocated 35 GBs to mine.

  ---------------

  After you have created the partition with Easeus, apply the changes and reboot your system.

  EASEUS will create the partition and restart your computer once more.

  Kindly let me know if I can get the updates before April 8, 2014.

  Hello HKaurND,

  All updates before April 8, 2014 will be always available for download via the Windows updates if you decide to reinstall Windows XP. Thanks to Microsoft to no longer support XP after April 8 you'd be advised to upgrade to a newer version of Windows, i.e. Windows 7/8.1

• Y at - it a keyboard shortcut for 'pause' and 'summary '?

  I searched carefully but did not find such a shortcut. Y at - it a keyboard shortcut for 'pause' and 'summary' on the window of LabVIEW?

  Hi Finkler,

  If you use a debugging feature! And no, there seems to be no assigned shortcut key.

  When you need a VI with the possibility of "break" you should learn about state machines. They are a common system to integrate these 'States' as a 'Performance' or 'pause' in a VI (or the program in general)...

• Autorun not working is not for software and games.

  In my under AutoPlay control panel I "install or run program" defined for software and games. But whenever I put I have software or game cd in my drive autoplay does not give the option to run it. AutoPlay appears and displays 'Mixed content Options' and 'General Options', none of which are options to run or install the software. It's like windows ignores the files autorun.inf on the disks.

  I found the answer myself, I went into my registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE NT\CurrentVersion\IniFileMapping\ and I delete Autorun.inf. I ran ComboFix a few months and apparently he added

  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\IniFileMapping\Autorun.inf]
  @= "" @SYS: Software\\Swearware\\dump ""

  I didn't notice until now because I have dual boot and I use mainly linux.

• Where is a place to get games for Vista and XP (also Win7) free offline?

  Where is a place to get games for Vista and XP (also Win7) free offline?

  Looked on Clubic, there are too many Add-ons (not the originals) and demos or deadlines.

  Are looking for is not online, you can mention them. No bootleg or emulators and other.

  Freeware role-playing, action, puzzle, classics/basics (ladies, old style, etc.), old style (like the games arcade, nintendo, SNES, Sega, Playstation 1, etc.), shooters, etc. All styles are ok and I wanted.

  I understand that some freeware games could be like older versions of power and magic, Diablo or Doom/Quake, etc.. I don't mind. Just try not to spend money on the latest and best at the moment. There is more to do in free time. For example: I would be fine if there are something like older versions of two EX or Skyrim or Fallout, Crysis, Age Of Empires, Metroid (SNES), etc. But I understand that I can only ask for so much.

  I found mmohut on youtube and it is recommended a lot, they tend to seem to all be online, however. My internet is down now, and I don't want don't no need to connect for stuff too. I think something like steam is out of the picture at this time.

  Original title: Macromedia projector says it does not work!  Help!

  I need the macromedia projector to see Big Fish Games strategy guides. It is said that it does not work! Also my games won't go to full size but stay in the smallest size. I don't know when in the last 2 weeks, what happened. I was in the hosptial and came home, computer to update and I've had problems since.  Downloaded DirectX as recommended in the reading of other problems, but it did not help. Would appreciate ANY help. This grandmother is not super computer but have got along very well for years even with new programs. Thank you!

  Hello

  1. is the specific question of Bigfish games? Other games play fine?

  Macromedia Projector is a utility that includes a Visual Flash presentation in a stand-alone EXE file, so you can view the images on a PC without the Flash Player installed.

  Method 1:

  You can try to run the game in Windows XP compatibility mode and check if this solves the problem.

  To install the program in Windows XP compatibility mode, see the link below:

  Make older programs in this version of Windows

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows

  Method 2:

  Make sure the application you are trying to run is trustworthy and that you have downloaded or installed from a source valid.

  a. click the Start button, right click on "computer", and then select properties from the list.

  b. click on 'system protection', click on the "Advanced" tab and click the settings button in the performance section, then click the Data Execution Prevention tab.

  c. There should be two selections, and "Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select" must be selected. Click on the Add button and navigate to the folder that your game/app for (usually located in the folder program files). Click on the .exe file in the folder that launches the application.

  d. run the game and check if it works well.
