Loss of the focus on the games

Hey all!

Whenever I play a game (wow, Hearthstone), the program lose focus every 5 to 20 seconds. It started happening when I downloaded the virus of air Navigator (Yes, I am a fool). I removed it from my pc (I think). So, I scan my pc with avast! and malwarebytes anti-malware, they both tell me my pc is clean, but this issue remains. When the program lose focus, task bar icons disappear and reappear quickly. If anyone can help me solve this problem, I would really appreciate it!

Thank you!

  • Computer freezes completely during the game

    Hello

    I always noticed when you try to run a computer games that my computer going for a reason completely freeze. I noticed this happen on Age of Empires III and Dawn of War II and also it happened on World of Warcraft. This is exactly what is happening:

    When I start the game (Dawn of War II for example) - it will take care of apparently very well, but then when I start trying to do things (until I connect even on and all the campaign mode) computer freezing suddenly completely, even if I'm still able to move the mouse, I'm unable to click on anything whatsoever or even escape on my desk which leads me to the conclusion that maybe my computer entire freezes and not just the game it's self. Sometimes, however, the sound of music from the game freezes as suddenly and will loop the sound and then then the computer hangs while the game is running, however most often, the computer freezes and the sound at the same time. I'm honestly at a loss on how to solve this problem and I bought Dawn of War II, anxious to play, to do then. I am extremely frustrated.

    Here are some features of the computer:

    Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit)
    Service Pack 2
    AMD Athlon (TM) 8450 Triple-Core processor 2.10 GHz
    3G RAM
    Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce 8200
    Chipset: GeForce 9200

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Hello Joshuarrr,

    Thanks for the reply.

    Ideally, updates do not cause the version of the driver to change on your computer. If the driver updates are change the version of your video card, then the problem could be related to NVidia and I suggest that you contact NVidia support in this regard. Here is a link I found his support page:

    https://store.nvidia.com/DRHM/servlet/ControllerServlet?Action=DisplayContactFormPage&siteid=NVIDIA&locale=en_US&env=base

    I hope this information helps.

    Please get back to us if you have any questions on this subject.

    64 bit would certainly help with the RAM. If you are using 32-bit Windows, you're wasting
    12 of the 16 GB that you have installed (for most users 8 GB is a loss anyway).
    as 32-bit Windows can access only about 3.25 GB of RAM in your system.
    -The amount of RAM is used when the system is idle (I have about 1.45 GB in use with only)
    two browsers open and minimum background processes)?

    With the new iOS for my iPod & iPad, I lost all my friends Game Center.  I have two games that I play as I would like.  How can I convert my friends to the Game Center for Facebook friends?

    You do not have. They have two different systems. What you need to do is to start on. For example, if your game has a forum or support page, they may have a way for people to communicate to a friend. Or if they have a facebook page, they probably have a system for "I want to make friends."

    It is now up to the games themselves to put in place the means to a friend using iMessage. You will need to wait for your game to do.

  • Since Apple ridiculously decided to abandon the center of games tab of my friends in the game does not load automatically and I have to go to GC and click the circle of friends so he could load, MORE I wonder constantly if I want to use my game stored loc

    Since Apple decided to abandon the center of games tab of my friends in the game does not load automatically and I have to go to GC icon and tap the circle of friends so he could load several times, MORE we continue to request if I want to use my game stored locally or my stored GC game. I refuse to install iOS 10, because it means of course I won't be able to manually load the tab my friends and my losing my game completely. How can I fix it? Remove the Center game is the worst thing that Apple could have done, in my humble OPINION.

    You will not lose your game entirely. I have several games of game Center, and they work fine. And I understand the developer of a game that this game center continues to store the backup of your game.

    It's just that now friending is handled via the interface of the game. The only options that you have in iOS10 is to go to the settings panel in / log out of game center or remove all friends. And none of the games I play has updated so I can see how their friending works with iOS10.

    Beyond providing the basic interface, Apple seems to have turned all aspects of the social game on the games themselves.

  • Installed the game 9 GB (Obduction) but I'm not.

    I downloaded a massive 9GB game called "Obduction" and then follow the steps to install it. At the end of this installation, which ended while I was away from the computer, a window was left with a large green checkmark telling him "Installation was successful". However, I can't find the game anywhere. I tried to enter the word "Obduction" Spotlight and the 'F' command windows, but all I get is reference another file that I downloaded successfully the Obduction music soundtrack; nothing on the much bigger file of the game itself. The game itself had glitches when it is played and is classified as a beta version for Mac, but I have not heard of him 'becoming extinct after installation.

    Can anyone suggest how I could find out his comings and goings? Would be - this matter if I went through the process of installing again if I can't find the game?

    Just a guess. You have installed Steam? Maybe you need to launch Steam and it could be registered. I don't play and it has been years I tried Steam so I could be wrong.
