problem with running my games more old and newish on Windows 7. __

Why is there such a probllem with my older games running and more newish on Windows 7.
If I knew that I would probably be stuck with vista or XP

Yes, probably you if you use the computer half the time for older games. It is like buying a PS3 with the emulator software and expects all the old games to work, just not going not to happen.

All games in particular does not? Usually running the installer as administrator (right click, run as admin) works for most things and then launch the game itself in compatibility mode sometimes fixes things.

  • Problem with autonomous ripple: not more GUI and panels

    Hello

    Until today, the ripple standalone emulator worked.

    Then, I started today, and it brings the 404 blackberry without any UI Developer site (address bar, panels, etc...).

    I have not found a way to reset the emulator of ripple in fresh condition.

    I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling without success.

    Any idea?

    Thank you

    Emmanuel / Alocaly

    Hello Emmanuel,.

    Can you please navigate to the following folder:

    C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\Research in Motion\Ripple

    Here, please Edittheconfig.ini file and check that:

    windowContent =http://developer.blackberry.com/ripple/

    In addition, please remove all except the config.inifile. Note, you will need to complete your training with your SDK paths settings after that.

    This should reset your Ripple emulator to point to the correct location.

    If you are on a different operating system, could you please confirm what OS you are using?

    You cannot and should not attempt to use a any forms on Windows 8.1 or newer version at this time.  Yes, this is not supported, but in addition there are known problems with the help of more recent than 7 versions of Windows.  Win8.1 certification testing is underway.  Once completed and final approval, the matrix certification forms/reports will be updated with details.  These details likely will include information on the patches required and/or configurations.  Monitor the forms/States 11.1.2.2 Certification Matrix for the latest information.

    For those of you new to Oracle Forms, welcome, I encourage you to carefully review the spreadsheet above, as well as the product documentation before beginning any installation.  Not following the instructions and the conditions will result in installation attempts failed.  The documentation for 11 GR 2 Forms-State Library can be found here:

  • 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.

  • Problem with Officejet 6500 has more wireless on my Mac running Lion

    I just got the Officejet 6500 has more. I was able to make it work with my HP PC Windows XP (would not work with the radio, but it's probably a problem with this computer - connected very well with USB). But I don't see the option to add it on my Mac (main computer) running OS Lion. I'm completely updated on Mac software. I see my other printer as usual (also a HP) on Mac.

    Tried to reboot several times. I looked on the HP site to various articles and it seems that I might need to make an update of the firmware on the printer, but when I downloaded the software (on the PC), my printer is gray and so wouldn't let me - or does not need the upgrade. Then. I can't see the printer on the Mac and don't know what else to do. Ideas? Thank you... Is the printer on my wireless network - I can not see the IP address and others.

    I don't really know exactly what I did - added to the printer with its IP address and manually the software (added name - I also had a HP update tonight for the printer software, but that only did nothing), then printing I tried and it still would not work.  I used the adjusted IP address, which I found on the dashboard of Verizon. And for some reason, once I put that in manually on the printer, it remained there, even when in desperation I tried to put it back the "detect network" setting. Sorry - but this is not quite logical or in the order.

    Also, I restarted the router, then the printer. Somewhere among all the things I tried, to my amazement, it finally worked! At first, I saw the IP address as the name of the printer (which I had entered it), and then he asked to be changed to the actual model. I did it and it now seems to work. Here, I could tell exactly what I did, but perhaps in what I wrote, you will get a glow and know WHY it worked?

    I wanted to thank you again for all the time you spent to try and help me get this working. It is really really REALLY appreciated and I definitely click the congratulations for you! Thank you very much!

  • Problem with the Knights of the old Republic II sith lords.

    (c) click on Properties, go to compatibility.
    (d) select the compatibility mode for Windows vista.
    (e) click OK .
