  I can not join any freelancer server. I use the mod of discovery, and whenever I try to connect I get a message saying that the server is down or my internet connection does not work. I heard it has something to do with directplay and anti-virus. I use Kaspersky security internet. Please let me know if there is a solution to this problem.

• Halo 1 and Vista

  So that the information of compatibility of Microsoft Vista Home Premium 64 - Bit tells me that Halo 1 is completely compatible, I have constant errors by trying to play online. I have found it a box "area of delay of doom" appears in the lower right of the screen (this box was running on my old computer, which had a terrible wireless card and virtually no signal). This Toshiba Satellite laptop is brand new and I tried to connect directly to the internet by cable, and it had no effect. The game is absolutely unplayable, and I can't find a reason why. Much more demanding games like Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare play perfectly fluently and I even tried to run 1 Halo in compatibility mode for XP SP2 with no luck. What is the disk that was used to install Halo 1? This is the only opportunity that I still look in because of the extra money that could be spent in vain if the drive is not the problem. I would have simply sent to Microsoft support. However, they seem to try either one scam by charging $59 for a conversation simple e-mail with a member of the support staff or try to dissuade us from asking questions that we run to Mac where not only they provide free technical support, but the people they hired seem to strive to make your Apple very pleasant support experience (I got in touch with them about the iPod several times)

  Microsoft.com/games/Halo had a support page but no support by email of any kind. The support email link took back me to the Microsoft.com e-mail and support their attempt to scam me out of $ 59 I can't spend on support. The page known multiplayer issues did not, anyway, my problem. I will reiterate my problem:

  Whenever I connect to a multiplayer game, after a short time, I start trolling at the point of the game is unplayable. My internet connection is perfectly well via laptop built in wireless. I tried to plug my computer directly to the internet by cable without effect. My ISP is Comcast Cable Internet so there is no problem of speed. My computer, via the wireless, is able to play much more demanding games such as Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare quite fluently and without any problem of lag. I have a problem of bandwidth when other members of the family by the use of their laptops for download; However, I tried several times to play while I was alone in the House without result. The game is absolutely unplayable and I am sad at the idea of the game is a waste of money. On my old computer, a desktop computer with free Wi - Fi and a map much less graphic, Ram and processor, Halo has played perfectly fluent. This makes me think to it's some sort of setting on 64-bit Vista that causes this error and I would like to know the opportunities available for me to try.

  I asked this question already. I was told to go to microsoft.com/games/halo. The second and third paragraph was my reply to the person who directed me to this Web page and I have yet to receive any response. I felt that the repost can be a more effective way to get a real answer. I'd like to get real advice instead of being redirected to another site which ends up being a dead-end.

  Hi lieb012,

  Thank you for writing to Microsoft answers Community Forums.

  It is clearly a problem with the game itself and not the Internet or windows, since you can perfectly play other games. Perhaps some of the files used in this game could be damaged. It would also be that some third-party programs may interfere with the game while playing online. I need some information first

  Do you get error during the game codes?

  Have you tried to reinstall the game and check?

  Is your computer up to date with all the latest windows updates and updates to halo?

  If you see any errors I suggest you to check the event viewer for errors based on the program. The link below shows you how you can find errors related to a program or a game. Here support and online help could you suggest a few steps

  Open event viewer

  http://windowshelp.Microsoft.com/Windows/en-us/help/a99f69c1-935f-4116-ba5f-33d8800ef9da1033.mspx

  I also suggest you to install all the latest updates and patches that should take care of most of the questions. You can click on the link and install v1.07 Halo Hot - Fix. The v1.07 Halo for Windows Hot - fix resolves a rare deadlock that could occur if a malicious individual (hacker) deliberately imitates a game server and sends invalid data on a server.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/games/halo/support.aspx#updates

  If fails it step above, you may need to try a clean boot to see what third-party program is causing the game behind. Follow the steps below to clean boot procedures.

  Click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER. (If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.)

  On the general tab, click Selective startup.

  Under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.

  Click the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all.

  Click OK.

  When you are prompted, click on restart.

  Log on to your account.

  Test the game

  If the problem does not reappear when your computer is in clean boot mode, a background program probably causes interference. You may need to update the program or uninstall program for this program works. You can try to determine which background program is causing the problem when the computer is in clean boot mode.

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

  To find the process or program to cause follow the beginning steps to enable half of the points of service, in the following article:

  How to perform a clean boot procedure to determine if background programs are interfering with a game or a program that you currently use

  To restore your Normal startup:

  Click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER. (If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.)

  On the general tab, click Normal startup.

  When you are prompted, click on restart.

  I hope this helps.

• Cannot create a new ESO account?

  A few weeks ago, I brought a copy of Age of Empires III the collection complete (Ubisoft Exclusive).

  I installed the game on my laptop and it worked perfectly fine - but when I went to go play online I found a not able to create a new account? I get the error message that I had to go to the www.eso.com/101.aspx , so I did, and then because it was Ubisoft editing I had to contact them.

  So I contacted Ubisoft and they asked me for a picture of proof of purchase / CD Key / Barcode - so I sent the required information and they sent me a new CD key.

  So I uninstalled the game and reinstalled from the CD Key again and I still could not create a new account - then Ubisoft has suggested that I should contact Microsoft.

  So why am I not able to create a new account?

• Lag problem on Age of Empires II (NO multiplayer) and issue of DirectDraw

  Age of Empires II used to work like a charm for me, he played almost perfect. But after a while, there are a few frustrations that made me do stupid things. I had to run the Setup program and press on play from there, because if I just clicked the shortcut on my desktop, it looks like

  "Can't initialize graphics system. Make sure that your video card and driver are compatible with DirectDraw. »

  It was really annoying, so one day after having searched extensively on internet, somehow, I thought it was clever to uninstall my graphics Accelerator. (I don't know if it's the source of the problem, I was wondering.)

  After I did it, my games started playing VERY SLOWLY and I was not able to play in multiplayer mode at all because of the silent direct draw problem. (It worked fine before..)

  So, I have 2 problems. GAL and the DirectDraw.

  I can help with this please? Thank you!

  Hi catire,.

  What is your operating system?

  The answer to your two problems might disappear after you update your graphics card.

  For me, it looks like a graphics card problem.

  My suggestion would be toUpdateyour graphics driver.

  As a test, you can temporarily disable all security software, and then try to play the game and check if the game is running slowly.

  Note: allow all security software after the trial.

  Everything works with this game, except multiplayer.  Solo mode works fine, as does sign live.

  I have disabled the windows firewall, open the ports for Halo 2 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829473) on my router, but still the same thing.

  Any help would be appreciated.

• Appeal iPhone issues 7 more

  I recently bought the new iPhone 7 more.  Not only am I having problems with the LTE service, bounce back between 3 G and no service I am now having problems with call connectivity.  When you try to make an outgoing call, I get an automatic response from my carrier (Verizon) "it's Verizon, we are unable to complete your call at this time, please turn off your phone and back and try again."

  It is a known issue with the iPhone 7 and Verizon. Supposed to be Apple and Verizon are seeking him. It has been a problem since the phone was released. Do a Google search or search here on the forums for a temporary solution but not a cure.  But basically to stop the LTE oice and data into data only in the settings.

• iPhone 6 more hang freeze issues

  My iPhone 6 more guard suspended (gel) for the past 6 months, I have to reset the whole phone sometimes up to 2 times just to get it to work again. Been a loyal (including my entire family) custome since gen 1 iPhone, iPad, mac book. Am really disappointed with the quality now. Did not bring to the service center since the first day of the problem because I thought that was just a few bugs & was sure that apple will fix it, but after many update of iOS so far, the pesisit still problem.

  iPhone is more quality I've known, hope apple can fix this problem before finally losing the most loyal customers

  Hello BennyFoo,

  Thank you for bringing your iPhone freeze questions here for Apple Support communities. I understand how it is important to have a reliable phone. I'm happy to check this with you.

  The first thing we want to make sure that all of your data on your device is safe. You can perform a backup in iCloud or iTunes using this article: backing up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

  Once your data is safe, try to turn off your device, then again on the March. Sometimes, that's all that is needed for connections reset and everything working properly again. This article help from Apple will help you to do: restart your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. If you are still having issues, try force reset then. It is designed to be used when the iPhone does not respond, and it looks to be the exact symptoms that you are experiencing right now.

  If you still experience the same problems after reboot, please try to restore your device from a backup by using this article help: restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch from a backup. If you don't have a current backup, please try this help article: If you can not update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Please pay close attention when you get to step 4 who said "when you see the option restore or put to update, choose update. iTunes will try to reinstall iOS without erasing your data. "to get your iOS reinstalled. Test if the issue is still ongoing.

  Thanks again and have a great rest of your day.

• Pages on issues of formatting to iCloud

  Hey everybody,

  I created a document Pages using the Pages application on my macbook pro I downloaded then to iCloud Pages so that I can access it from any computer. The issue I'm having is that I formatted some of the text to have a black background and the text to yellow color. For the life of me I can't understand how to change the background color of text on the Pages of iCloud. I beginning to think that changing the background color of text just is not possible on the platform of iCloud, but wanted to put this out there just to make sure.

  I appreciate any help or clarification on this issue.

  Thank you!

  Background (highlight) text color controls are absent in the Pages for iCloud, because it is a subset of Pages for Mac.

  This has been discussed in a previous post here, not so long ago.

• External hard drive mounting issues on MacOS Sierra

  After upgrading to OS Sierra, I found that my USB3 drives, directly connected to my iMac end of 2012, turn off at startup. USB 2 disks are unaffected and connect properly. The only way to access my USB3 disks is to disconnect and reconnect every time I start the computer, then they are ok. I tried to reset the NVRAM, but it did not work. I found Os El Capitan until this issue is resolved.

  Do not mount or actually turns out always the system start? It was not clear in your subject line and content later, what was going on.

  Are they NTFS formatted drives? See the solutions frequently asked and answered forum if they are.
