• Firefox prevent Java from loading Pogo games that require it

  I've just updated to the latest Firefox and now java is prevented from loading Pogo games that require it. I unchecked the box block popup and activated JavaScript but whenever I try to load, I get a message on the java concol saying: permission denied. I went to IE8 (yuck) and the game loaded properly.
  Help please.

  Mozilla are aware of the problem and are working on a fix, no time scale, but they are planning on a quick release. 3.6.15 Firefox will fix the problem with some applets Java does not, which caused a lot of Pogo games to stop working.

• Most of the games that require 'run as administrator' not loading well much of the time, sometimes even resulting in a blue screen

  OK, so the point is around 2 specific games that I play with my friend, those Heroes of Newerth and League of Legends. The two I need to aprove make changes to the computer to start. Together with launch normally, but when it comes to load a game, I'm gambling or not my pc will fuction when the loading is complete.

  The problems differ from a partial freeze with occasional spikes along the screen to a snowy screen and sometimes even a blue screen or a forced reboot.

  I doubt that the problem has nothing to do with the required performance, especially when it comes to League of Legends. My pc is brand new and it can run the latest game call duty on high graphics with no problems at all and it is several times heavier on the required performance than the other two 2.

  Any ideas what could be causing it and how can I solve it?

  My pc runs on Windows 7 on an AMD Athlon II x 4 630 to 2.80 GHz proccessor 2 GB of RAM, the card mother M4A785TD-V EVO and a gainward gt 240 512 MB GDDR3 graphics card.

  Thank you all for trying to help me.

• Intel 945 Windows 7, does not have the 32-bit games that require Direct3D.

  OK, so I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.

  After that I installed Windows 7, games ran fine. Everything was great. I decided to update my graphic drivers a few weeks ago to see if I could get better performance, and now nothing works.

  I installed the 15.12.75.4.64.1930 (8.15.10.1930) driver for 64-bit. Since then when I try and play a game, I get a message saying that Direct3d is not available. When I run dxdiag, Direct3d is not enabled. If I run the 64-bit DXDiag, it is said that direct 3D is activated.

  Help, please. I tried to uninstall the drivers, but then I just get the Stndard VGA graphics driver and I can't do anything.

  It is also it seems to have an impact on flash applications in IE8. When I launch IE8 (32-bit or 64-bit) anything with flash top constantly stutters and flashes several times making it unusable.

  Hi AnanymousDan,

  Since you are facing this problem after the update the display drivers, I suggest you revert to the previous version of display drivers and check if that helps you solve the problem. To restore the drivers, follow these steps:

  1. open Device Manager. To do this, click on start to reduce this includes this im, type Device Manager in the Start Search box, and then click Device Manager in the programs list.

  2. If you updated the device driver, right-click on the device in Device Manager, click Properties, and then click back to the previous version on the driver tab.

  If the steps above do not help, you try to perform a system restore on your computer on the date when it was working fine and check if that helps you solve the problem.

  To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:
  1. Click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
  2. in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next.
  3. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem and then click Next, click Finish.

  The computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.

  Access the link below to learn more about how to repair the operating system and how to restore the configuration of the operating system to a previous point in time in Windows:

• Why the tabs that require authentication moving in a new window?

  I start the value "show my windows and tabs from last time '. Many of these tabs require authentication and once the authentication to complete the tab is moved to a new window. This behavior started only recently. I saw this happen on at least two computers.

  This seems to be fixed on its own. Maybe an update fixed. To answer you question cor - el, all pages are opened by clicking the sign + to open a new tab and this by clicking on a bookmark on the bookmarks bar. As I said above I keep several tabs always open and a few require authentication. When close firefox and then running it again, after the Authentication tab moves to a new window.

  In any case thanks for the replies.

• If I want to play games, should I get a mouse external or other game device?

  I play games on my laptop. Should I get a mouse external or other game device?

  Yes

  A specific gaming mouse is not necessary (they have additional, programmable buttons. That's about it)

  Obviously a mouse pad will help and if your playing games that require voice or audio communication depends on a kind of helmet? helmet will help

• Qosmio X 300 - 14V - accidents while playing games

  Hello! I have some problems with my Toshiba Qosmio X 300 to 14V. While I play games installed on the computer "crushes". The screen goes black and the speakers start droning.
  I noticed that if I reinstall windows, driverers and directX it won't happen for a while. I should also mention that this does not happen with ALL games. He especially happenst to games that require more performance of the computer. games like Just Cause 2, Neef For Speed Hot Pursuit, Fallout New Vegas. In one case, he joined a pretty old game, shadows on the surviving ground.

  If anyone can find all reasonable explanation please help me. Thanks in advance.

  P.S. There are about 4-5 months my HARD drive crashed, so I bought a new one and installed win 7. At that time, I was working with win Vista Edition home premium x 32 with drivers that were included in the recovery package. Before the new HARD drive, I had no problem with the computer. Apart from some overwhelming sometimes because of ovearheating because the ventilation channels were filled with dust.

  Hi donrumata_1,

  Maybe the laptop goes down cause overheating? Have you ever tried to clean up your laptop with a jet of compressed air?

  This can blow the dust from the cooling fans and only takes a few minutes. In addition it s not necessary to disassemble the laptop so it s very easy and not complicated.
  => [How to clean a Toshiba laptop cooling system | http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD7A01ZZ000AR01.htm]

  From my own experience I can say s very useful and I do every 3 months. If the laptop is much cooler and quieter because the fan doesn't run so often more.

• Re: Can NB200 - you play games on it?

  Hello!

  I have a NB200 and I know that it is not made to play games on it, but still, I just want to check if it can run an old game PC (Diablo 2). So I would like to know if my graphics card can support this old game.

  If anyone knows, I would like to know what type is my graphics card and numbers (sorry I don't know the exact term) we need to know when we are going to check in the case of the dos game.

  Thank you in advance.

  Hi Olman,

  The NB200 isn't designed for games or with other words the opposite of a gaming laptop. If this laptop is perfect for mobile use, Internet/office with long time working battery.

  I guess you can play games that are older or let's say old enough games. Diablo 2 is old enough, he should work on it. Just check the requiremtents of the game system and compare it with your NB200. :)

• Game room requires a video card that supports shader model 3.0 your video card does not meet these requirements

  I downloaded Microsoft Games for Windows - Live. I then downloaded & installed the game games room. When I tried to play it I got this error: game room requires a video card that supports shader model 3.0 your video card does not meet these requirements: How can I fix? Will this work? http://www.download3k.com/system-utilities/system-maintenance/download-graphics-card-driver-update.html

  Hello Ann42633,

  If you have not changed the video card that you purchased your computer, you can visit the Dell Web site and use the service tag to determine the video card.

  In addition, you can locate the type of video card you have by the following text:

  -Click Start

  -Type Device Manager into the start menu search box, press enter

  -Develop graphics cards

  You must also obtain the appropriate driver from the Dell Web site and update your video card.

  Hope this helps
