• Problem with playing video games, DVD and CD audio with windows Vista.

  I had a problem to read these types of discs with my hard drive. It does not recognize that there is a disc at all. This ONLY happens with new discs I get, for example by trying to install a new video game or download a new album that I just got. If I want to play a previously installed game I put game disk in and it works perfectly fine. This only happens with new games that I have not yet installed. E.g. I want to play starcraft, previously installed. I put the cd in starcraft and the game appears as usual. But if I want to install starcraft II nothing happens when I put StarCraft II in the disk drive, even if I go to my computer and double click on your drive, it just opens the CD door and asks to put a disc in when we're already here.

  I tried MR. Fix and it recognizes that there is a problem but is unable to repair. I tried to uninstall the disk driver and not the fixed not restart, but who either.

  Hello

  You have disk problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD burn
  and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
  do it right.

  A CD/DVD cleaner might help.

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

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
  a process that solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
  Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
  RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
  below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
  cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

• My Dell 15R crashes if I play a game (GTA IV, II M.a.f.i.a) for about 3-4 minutes and BSOD appears

  I just got a new Dell 15R (i7, 8 GB of RAM, 1 TB HDD, AMD HD 7730 M 2 GB graphics) and I tried to play M.a.f.i.a2 with and without steam and twice, after playing them for 3-4 minutes, the game crashed and BSOD appeared. It happened so in GTA IV. I've updated my graphics driver, but it made no difference. I also did a system restore, which also did not work. The error that I got from the event viewer:-System - Provider [name] Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Power [Guid] {331C3B3A-2005-44C2-AC5E-77220C37D6B4} event 41 Version 2 level 1 task Opcode 0 keywords 0 63 ID x 8000000000000002 - TimeCreated [SystemTime] 2013-01 - 21 T 18: 52:05.392015600Z EventRecordID 12512 correlation - execution [ProcessID] 4 [ThreadID] 8 channels computer system Kasutaja-PC - security [UserID] S-1-5-18 - EventData BugcheckCode 278 BugcheckParameter1 0xfffffa80080424e0 BugcheckParameter2 0xfffff880015aaaf4 BugcheckParameter3 0 x 0 BugcheckParameter4 0 x 2 SleepInProgress fake PowerButtonTimestamp 0

  This BSOD could be linked to the power options?

  Yes. No guarantee, but when playing system emphasizing games that you want to use the High-Performance option.
  The other options are there to help extend a battery charge, but you can not expect to
  play these games on the battery (for long), or without as much power as possible.
  Your graphics for laptops is certainly capable.

• Unable to play a game installed, DRACULA's ORIGIN. Frustrated & need help.

  Hello! I downloaded a game and it won't let me play. A message never ceases to appear saying "insufficient privileges; You must be an administrator to run this application for the first time. "It's been downloaded on another computer and does not say that.

Please, someone help me. I really want to play this game. Thank you for your time.

• Whenever I have to play the game, I have to insert the disc 2 in my DVD ROM despite installing the game on my hard drive.

  Hello

  Whenever I have to play the game, I have to insert the disc 2 in my DVD ROM despite installing the game on my hard drive.
  Can someone help me with a cure for this (IE run the game without the CD?) I can run Microsoft Flight simulator without inserting the DVD in my DVD-rom.

  original title: query on Microsoft Train Simulator 2001

  I suspect that the game has Digital Rights Management in there (i.e., copy protection) and it checks for you ensure that you physically have the disc so that he knows that you are not a thief.  Many providers of game assumes that you are a thief and you prove that you're not demanding that the disc is in the DVD player when the game takes place.  What I do is to use a program like Alcohol 52%, a free program that can make a copy of a DVD/CD and include in the image copy protection so that you can use a DVD player virtual to mount the image file instead of having the real DVD mounted in a real drive.

• Satego X 200 - 21u + Win7: freeze all playing a game for about 20 seconds

  Hello

  installed win7 a few weeks ago and I need help.

  as long as I have used default displays the drivers of toshiba (~ 1 year) windows7 tends to freeze while playing a game for about 20 seconds, and everything goes normal again.

  After searching the internal pool, I discovered that most recent nvidia driver could solve this problem, so I downloaded the latest drivers for your laptop from there. now windows freezes over, but rather a huge amount of pixels displayed for fractions of seconds. could someone help me? is it possible that toshiba will bring display drivers compatible win7?

  What are the changes accurate toshiba brings to their drivers? I cannot repeat this manual?

  * edit *.

  SRY for the bad language :).

  using the version of 32-bit win7

  Hi mate,

  The point is that you should only use the Toshiba display drivers directly because are pre-tested on the on the laptop. Other drivers don't have overheating protection, which means that you can display errors and damage to the graphics card. So I advise to use Toshiba display drivers.

  I don t know the difference between display drivers, you should ask this Toshiba directly and not here in the forum of the user.

  Maybe there is another solution for your problem like cleaning your laptop with a jet of compressed air. This could blow out the dust from the cooling fans.

  Alhajji,
  They suggested to do a factory restore, if a valid step to do.  I know this isn't the most fun thing to do, but if you restore the system failing factory (clean install of the operating system).  Then, run Windows update and update drivers.  At this point, you can install a game and test.  If the problem persists, it would look to be a possible hardware problem with the system.

• How can I set up Vista so that the PC does not switch to another window (for example the Spy Sweeper alerts) while I am playing a game?

  How can I set up Vista so that the PC does not switch to another window (for example the Spy Sweeper alerts) while I am playing a game?

  Vista is not in control of this technique. Spy Sweeper needs to have an option to control that. If this isn't the case, then it is badly programmed. Flight of focus (go to another window) when it is actually needed is a big no-no for the design. I find this option, if I were you :)
