  • Diablo 1 does not at all, 12 years old game does not work on the new computer

    Hello, I have a Toshiba Satellite P200 with Windows Vista 32-bit, it has an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2400 video card. I also have 10 installed Direct x which, according to the manufacturers of my video card is compatible. I ran a test game that was included with the CD and it said that everything is okay. But it is still coming up with this error. "Diablo could not correctly initialize your video card using directX" then it tells me to update my directx which I did. check and update my driver for my graphics card and make sure its compatiable which I did and it's. I've been to Blizzard games, and they said that can not help me and I have to go to the manufacturer of the video card. I went to them and they said because it was a laptop they cannot help me with this and told me to goto, the manufacturer of my laptop that I do at the moment, but if someone had this problem and have any ideas how I can get this race please tell me thanks.

    This game was designed for Windows 95. Of many old games do not work under NT (on XP and Vista) kernel unless you use the emulation such as DOSBox.

    You can try setting the game to run in Windows 98 compatibility mode (click with the right button on the games EXE file, select Properties-> Compatibility tab).

    Otherwise, you will need to install Win95/98 and possibly to use a video card more old since display drivers change so rapidly and drop the old features not more used.

  • MS Office 2013 does not work in the new computer

    Our new computer, optiplex 3020, came with MS Office 2013; However, we have never been able to use all of the Office components.  We still get an error, for example. Microsoft Word has stopped working.  A problem caused the blocking of the program works correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.  We can see the document in the error message.

    Maybe we need to register the product, but how to make a page to save it?

    You can try to remove the normal.dotm template file. This may solve the problem:

    Quit Word

    Press Windows key + R

    Copy and paste the following text in the field:

    %USERPROFILE%\Application data\microsoft\templates

    Press the Enter key

    Find and delete the Normal.dotm file

    Restart Word.

    If this does not work, try to maintain the CTRL key when you start Word. If Word starts, you have a bad component loading snap. Let me know and I'll post instructions.

  • Lexmark z605 printer does not work with the new computer that is running windows 7

    I plugged my z605 printer (which I had already used quite happy with Windows XP) on my new PC (running Windows 7 64 bit) via a USB port but it failed to install properly, saying: he could not find the driver.

    Action Center directed me to the Lexmark Web site, where he says to download the Vista driver, I did.  CjrZ500 - Z600EN.exe downloaded according to the guidelines, but it still does not solve the problem.

    I tried to manually point to C:\drivers\printers (which is where the Lexmark program appears to have put it), but received a message "Windows found driver software for your device, but has encountered a problem trying to install it."  Lexmark Z500 - Z600 Series, the system cannot find the specified file"

    Problem solved.  Although the site says that the driver Vista and 64-bit Vista driver were both called cjrZ500 - Z600EN.exe, in fact, select the 64-bit driver download cjsZ500 - Z600EN.exe, that worked!

  • Photoshop CS5 does not work on the new computer

    Hello world!

    I bought the teacher edition and student of CS5 for Mac in November 2010. I bought a new Mac and put the software on my new computer. InDesign, Illustrator, bridge, and Acrobat will open it (and good work to the best of my knowledge). However, Photoshop gives me an error message and does not open:

    Screen Shot 2016-05-15 at 12.31.13 AM.png

    I have no idea how to solve this problem.

    In the near future, I want to upgrade CS5 to CS6. But for now, I wish I could use Photoshop I have. I looked in my Plans and products on my Adobe account and the product is. But it's not a download to re-download it. And honestly, I don't remember if I was a physical download or digital download when I initially put the software on my original Mac.

    Any ideas or suggestions on how to fix this?

    Thank you!

    PS - also, Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Flash Catalyst, and Flash are all in my Applications folder. But I think they're just there because I did a try before you buy CS5 Adobe. Would this be the case? When I try to open applications, a box will appear asking for a serial number or an option to start using these applications on an experimental basis. I tried to put my purchase of CS5 serial number just in case it was accurate, and he says that's not a correct serial number. And my research indicates that these applications are not part of the standard package CS5. Are they only in my Applications folder because I used them once on a trial period?

    First set ' Allow downloads of "to"Anywhere"CS5 are considered to be an application not signed because it was released before Mac Gatekeeper.

    By doing this, you can ensure that the installation of CS5 is not blocked.

    When CS5 is installed, the next step is to update Adobe Application Manager

    Adobe - Adobe Application Manager: for Macintosh: Adobe Application Manager

    When this is done, you can open Photoshop CS5 and run Help > updates to get all of the updates in.

    If there is a problem, let me know.

  • CS5 does not work on the new computer that is running Windows 7

    I initially installed my CS5 on a computer running Windows Vista and it worked great. I just got a new computer that is running Windows 7, installed my Adobe Photoshop Elements & CS5 on it, but now it is not working properly. When I click on the triangle to the right at the bottom of any tool, it does not to show the various tools as before. Does anyone else have this problem? If so, how to solve it? Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

    Hi FireSpiritDesigns,

    There are two ways to access the tools hidden in your toolbar in Photoshop:

    • Press and hold down the mouse button on a tool that has hidden tools behind it and a window will appear to the right of you show the other available tools.
    • ALT-click Windows or Option, click on a Mac on a tool to jump out the window that shows the hidden tools available.
  • Pny 4 GB USB key does not work on my new computer?

    PNY 4 GB USB attached flip key will not work on anything ive tried including the update of drivers on each computer for that material and all the drivers?

    Unfortunately this did not help, the USB is not but the age a year but already had important things, Ive already lost the last 6 months b/c my new windows 7 was a pilot missing and with my boot cd "s out of State, I had to restore to be online for school»

    Unfortunately - when one of these drives (USB thumb drives) goes to the South, more often - it is always toast.  There is no real help to recover the data: that is why everything should be saved.

    You said you tried it on several computers (... on all computers...) so it's probably a Goner.

  • Windows 7 and HP LaserJet 5 p - old printer printer does not work with this new computer

    Just bought new PC and it has Windows 7.  Old HP LaserJet 5 p printer has always worked with last PC (XP).  This printer uses the parallel so purchased and plugged port with a parallel to USB printer cable.  Thought everything was cool when it seemed that the printer was recognized as "new device" but would not print my Word document.  Review of the Panel's PC recognized some other strange printer, so it has been deleted and I used the troubleshooter to find and download the old printer driver.  PC now shows the correct printer but my documents still won't print.  What can / should I do for these 2 working together?  Don't want to have to buy a new printer just to get something that works with 7.

    I was too frustrated. Finally, I solved the problem. I bought a parallel to USB cable head Gear. First attempts do not work. Unplug the printer from the computer. That removing all printers (some I just created trying). Make sure that you do not have the test pages in the queue (cancel all), otherwise impossible to remove printer. Also update windows drivers (to add the printer section). Turn off the computer. Connect printer USB available on the computer again. Turn on computer. And. You DID!

    I installed my Olympus Master program twice on my new computer and it still doesn't work. My camera is around 7 years as the program disk that came with it.  It worked fine on my old computer with Windows XP but will not work on Windows 7.  If there is a compatibility issue, is what I can do for the program function properly or do I need to get a most recent Olympus program disk?

  • My copied address book does not work on the new computer

    I have transferred my address book to my new computer, but when I try to send a message, it indicates the addresses are not valid. Both computers are Thunderbird and W8.1. I get emails and can respond to emails that I get, but can not write new e-mail messages. What is the trick?

    Looks like you don't have the right data into the correct fields when you import the address book.

    When you open the address book and look at one of the contacts info is the e-mail address in the e-mail address field? If this isn't the case, you must obtain the right to import or cross and change them all manually.

  • Why an older game does not work on my new laptop

    This game's Beachhead 2000. It's system requirements are:

    Pentium II 233 MHz or compatible 100% Pentium II 266 or faster

    Windows 95 or 98

    32 MB of ram minimum

    75 MB of free space on hard drive for installation

    8 x CD speed

    You can try the compatibility mode to windows 95 or 98, (R/click on the .exe games and go into properties-compatibility) but it is rarely useful.
    While in the Compatibility tab check also.
    Disable visual themes and use the 256-bit color.

    If the above solutions don't work don't try to use the DOS WINDOW.
