Problem-solving with games on windows 7

I have problems with the games running in mode full-screen. I've always set continental as the lowest for better performance but when I changed the resolution what that it is less than 1366 x 768, I lose about 3-5 inches of space on the screen on both sides. I solved it once (don't know how) but I had to completely reboot my computer everything. Help, please.

I am runing a TOSHIBA Satellite L455D with an AMD Sempron (TM) TR-42 2.1 GHz

2.00 GB of ram

32-bit system

an ati radeon 3100 series with the latest drivers installed

Thanks to extensive research and experimentation, I found the solution for ATI cards.

In order to make the games on a smaller to adapt to the entire screen resolution, you must change the settings in the catlyst control center or CCC for short

to do this first open CCC making Sure you are under the ADVANCE options

now, go to desktop properties and change the resolution to one that is less than the native resolution of your screen.

now go to the screen of desktop computers and screens. Right-click on your MAIN monitor (in case you use 2) and click on configure.

Now you should see some tabs. go to the tab under what it should be several options avalible who say full-screen centered (or sometimes maintain proportions) the attributes, click on full screen, then click on apply. NOTE: If the options are grayed out always try to go to another lower resolution, if this continues to be gray, consider reinstalling or updating your drivers.

now reset your resolution to its native and start a game that does not whole screen. your moniter should now be completely 'filled' with the game.

Please note that some games still does that way because of the programming of the game. Include peggle deluxe, bejewled, bejewled 2, plants vs zombies and other similler arcade-style games.

I hope this helps.

    I bought the PC Version of Fable III of this year early and installed and created an account with games for windows Live! About 2 months ago, I formatted my computer and reloaded windows 7! Last night I downloaded Microsoft Flight and used my existing account to play! Today, I installed Fable III and the game won't start as it says that I am not connected to the internet! This is wrong since I write here for you! Why my game will not, organize that I have connected to my account last night with problem now? Please help me?

    Yes, unfortunately GFWL's an imperfect system. Steam has similar problems. I find the best way to avoid
    problems is to play all the games that are related to a system off line.
    I have absolutely no interest in what GFWL can offer online, in any case.
    Many games have a "fix" for GFWL, which are generally easy to find through a search.
    Of course these only help facilitate offside line.

    Try Timeslips Fable 3 GFWL remover - it is well known in the modding community, particularly
    its managers mod for Bethesda games and his job is safe to use.

  • Problem-solving with HP2311x and ProBook6455b

    Hello

    I have a problem-solving with portable HP2311x and ProBook6455b.

    Maximum resolution is 1600 X 1200

    Current display driver is ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200

    However, my HP monitor supports the 1920 X 1080.

    I used only the external monitor without using the laptop monitor and the maximum resolution is always to 1600 x 1200.

    I also downloaded the drivers recommended by HP, but it does not solve the issue.

    I also tried with the drivers provided by AMD, but I get still more low resolution (1280 x 768) because the driver software detects is ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250

    When I try to use the AMD Vision Engine Control Center stops unexpectedly

    I have conteacted
    Portrait Displays, Inc..
    http://support.portrait.com

    But they suggested me to contact HP because they were not able to solve my problem.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Kind regards.

    I understand that you are not able to use the full resolution of the monitor even when the screen of the laptop is out of the question.

    Ensure that the system has the right driver for the monitor found here.

    You can try the support business forums as it appears that the two components are business models.

  • Problems with games under Windows 7

    Someone knows a problem to start Freecell or Solitare under Windows 7? First of all, I fell into it when I bought a new computer (HP Pavilion Elite). When you play games the screen starts blinking annoying way when the mouse is turned on. I returned the computer at Best Buy and the Geek Squad confirmed my problem using their mouse and the monitor. They exchanged the computer for a computer to identicle who then developed similar problems. This was again confirmed by the Geek Squad. They exchanged this computer for an Asus CG series which now shows similar problems in slightly less (though still annoying). If these simple games wasn't buying intention, they revealed a problem that appears to me as being caused by Windows 7. I had years of experience with these games under Windows Vista with no problems at all.

  • Games for Windows works only with "games for windows - live» Can not understand.

    So the problem I encounter is that I can't get games purchased with the headliner "Games for Windows" to work with the software "Games for windows".  No drop-down list, no information other than a market place when I opened "Games for Windows - Live.  No ability to view videos downloaded from the software, just to go to my documents to view the downloaded content.  Installed games appear in the GAMES folder and they open and can be played.

    In particular, the game I'm playing is called "Monster Madness - battle of Suburbia".  I'd love to play and get achievements for my account xbox live and others, I love the ability to have that extends from PC to the Xbox, the other game I have is bioshock.

    All advice, instructions or ideas will be appreciated.

  • Problem-solving with Windows 8.1

    I just changed my HDD for one SSD and re-downloaded Windows 8.1 and I have problems with my resolution.

    It does give me only 2 options for resolution, 3200 x 1800 and 1024 x 768 (which it says is recommended). When I turn it to 3200 x 1800, everything is tiny.

    Where's my resolution (3840 x 2160)? Why is not just "an option? Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    Install the chipset drivers first.  Then, restart and install the Intel video driver.  Finally, restart and install the nVidia Driver.

    With the virtual machine running, pull down the menu of the Virtual Machine and install VMware Tools, you'll see. Choose that and you should see the virtual machine window "click on install to connect the installation of VMware Tools CD to this virtual machine" and "In the virtual machine, open the application"Install VMware Tools"on"VMware Tools"disk." Installer is built into the merger application so there's nothing extra to get. Request for enforcement "install VMware Tools" and restart the virtual machine and you should get all the resolution choices you could want.

I have reinstalled GFWL, updated and fact all sorts of things, but nothing seems to work. All the patches?

  • problems with older games using windows

    Why is it that whenever I have try and install a game that requires win95-for win 2000 it does not everything with my windows vista it also I cannot download from disc info for my printer and it's the same question is what can I do to solve this problem

    What games are you trying to install?  It is a good chance that it uses a 16-bit installation program that will ask you to find the setup.exe and run it as administrator to install correctly.  I have a simple philosophy: just assume everyone is a piece of c.r.a.p. and then be pleasantly surprised if you find someone who is not.
