Not really "gaming", just Chess Titans in my Vista; __
I have a hard time to see the black pieces. I adjusted the contrast on my monitor, but it's lame.
How can I change the color of the black pieces to red?
If not at all, now you have a suggestion for improvement.
Hello dibnald, there is no way to change the color of the pieces. Beyond change their appearance, frosted glass and a marble surface will probably yield the best results. But check the brightness and gamma on your monitor or your video drivers Control Panel. As it is not sound like sound nowhere close to being where it should be.

I got the game "Chess Titans" runs under Vista 32 bit. It works OK. But it seems impossible to change the difficulty level"of the game. The only time I was able to change the "level of difficulty" is when I installed MS Vista. I tried 'Options' - but it does not contain something immediately useful in this regard.
Hi Provob,

1. Once you start the game.
2. click on the game and then go to options.

I just bought a new laptop with windows 7 and there is no Chess Titans in games. I would have never bought it if I knew that. Is it possible I can get it?
When you check the list of Windows features it is not inside?
To get there, press the windows key and type in "features " without the quotes and then click on "turn on or off windows features ". "" In the window that appears, you should games and next to it a button "+". Go ahead and click the button "+". You should see Chess titans here. If it is unchecked then go ahead and check it and click OK when you are finished. It should appear in the Games folder in the start menu and Explorer games now. You can or you have to may not restart. It should tell you if it is necessary, however.

original title: Chess Titans
I have a PC brand new - HP and played Chess Titans. Now all of a sudden it says it cannot find the texture, but he said no zero the reference count and then could not find device 3D. What's past and how to fix this. Thank you.
These error messages can occur if you (or software) also disabled Aero. Aero must be on (and supported by the video card) to play Chess Titans. "192GO should be enough for everyone." (of the miniseries "Next generation jokes")

Chess Titans works fine on my pc windows 7, but not on windows XP
Chess Titans works fine on my pc windows 7.
I managed to find a copy of the titans of chess for my little Asus XP runnuing, I take with me on a trip.
The problem I have is that there is no way to play as the first to have black. It is in white by default and there is no alternative in the options to play black everything first.
All ideas are welcome
Hi Bill,
In chess Titans, you can't play first black because it's by design and according to the rules of the game of chess. For more information please see: Chess Titans: how to play
Note: This link applies to Windows XP.

When I try to open a game (Chess Titans, inkball, etc.), I get the following message: "c:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Chess\Chess.exe the specified path does not exist. Check the path and then try again. "Should I do to get my games back so I can play them? I've tried enabling/disabling of Windows features, but it did nothing. I also tried to go through the run, but that has not worked. And, I tried command prompt, but it says that I am not the administrator, who I am.
Not accessible games
I haven't had any changes consciously, and the games do not work in any user account. When I've done sfc/scannow (command prompt) he said that I was not the administrator. I could learn from another source to solve this problem - in the start menu, right click on the command prompt icon, and then click Run as administrator. Hope everybody help with this problem. If you do not have command prompt in your Start menu, any type of command prompt in your search box and it should appear.
Anyway, my games work now. Thank you

I suggest you perform the upgrade in-Place on Windows 7, this would help you to solve the problem without losing any data or application.

Animation of Chess Titans will not appear
Hello
I love chess and play using the pre-installed game Chess Titans on my Windows 7 pc. But recently, the animation, where it shows the moving parts, is not displayed. In the options box, 'show animations' is checked, but it is grayed out. If anyone can help?
Thank you
wwsamson
I don't have a PC with Chess Titans to test, but I have to assume that this would be the option 'Show animations inside windows', I think that the 1st or 2nd in the list.

Chess Titans freezes computer with Windows 7
Upgrade to new computer from Windows Vista to Windows 7 and everything seems to work fine except the game Chess Titans in the beam of Microsoft games. When you run this game, the display shows the program splash screen and then displays a black screen in and out; and freezes the computer how far I have to restart. It actaully has worked well when I had Windows Vista, it just started to have problems of the the intall of Windows 7. Also I don't have the most current version of Directx 11. I would really apreciate if someone can give me input on how to solve this problem.
Hi Swinget,
After the upgrade to Windows 7, I recommend you update the drivers for the graphics card, this could be a problem with drivers for the graphics card, follow these steps to update the drivers:
1. click on Start.
2. enter Device Manager to launch the search.
3. expand display adapter in the Device Manager window.
4. right click on the device.
5. click on Properties.
6. click on Driver tab.
7. click on update drivers.
8. click on OK.Check if the exclamation points are displayed with the device. The exclamation point indicates a problem with the installed driver.
See the link for update drivers: update a hardware driver that is not working properly: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isn ' t-work properly
Even if the update of drivers does not help, I would say that uninstall you and reinstall the Windows feature set could solve the problem.
1. click on Start.
2. type Optionalfeatures.exe search.
3. click on the symbol + for games for Windows features.
4. uncheck the Chess Titans.
5. click on OK.
6. now restart the computer.
7. follow step 1 to 3 of the .
8. put a checkmark for Chess Titans.
9. click on OK.Give it a try with the above steps and check if you are able to play the game without freeze him more.

having display problems with my macbook air, first version of 2015. When I turn on my macbook, after boarding the password, then press on enter three lines (not really they look more like flashes coming from the top of the screen appear) in the colors Blue, green and red.
also when I turn off my laptop just until the display on the top of the screen that is 2 and a half inch thick green line appears and goes about a second.
help someone?
Thank you
Howdy Yaser of zoysia,
It seems that your screen displays some graphical anomalies when you connect to your user name. I would use these troubleshooting steps in the following article on the resolution of screens:
Restart your Mac in safe mode to reset the default display resolution.
If booting safe mode doesn't resolve the problem, reset your Mac NVRAM and SMC to reset the video ports on your Mac to their default values.
From: get help with graphics issues on external displays connected to your Mac.
Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.
