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.

Hello

1. open Device Manager by clicking the Start button, click on the Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then clicking Device Manager. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
2. in Device Manager, locate the graphics card and then double-click the device name.
3. click Driver tab, then click on uninstall the driver and follow the instructions.
 
Restart the computer and let the computer install the generic drivers.
 
Now, try to follow the link provided to update a hardware driver that is not working properly and check the question below.
 
 
If the problem persists then you need to download the latest drivers for card viedeo and install it successfully.
 
To get the latest drivers, you must contact the manufacturer of your hardware.
 
If you still experience the problem, then you can create a new user profile.
 
Steps to create a new user account:
 
Open user accounts by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking user accounts and family safety, then clicking on user accounts.
Click on manage another account. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
 
Click on create a new account.

    I was directed to go here after calling a support number. I'm about to go crazy with the evasive of supported client I received.

    Basically, the problem is that I can't download things off the Windows Live Marketplace in Fable III for PC. It's a question that I had on my old laptop with Windows 7, but my new has Windows 8, so here I am.

  • I bought the PC Version of Fable III of this year early and installed and created an account with games for windows Live!

    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.

    Joachim

    When first pose the problem? Was it before or after the December updates?

    KB3004394 and KB3024777 appear in view update history? Or do they appear in installed updates?

    Gerry, thanks for your post. I have the same problem as Joachim started this thread. I am running Windows 7 sp1. I have a Dell computer and it's certainly a legitimate copy of Windows (confirmed computer 'properties' and it is enabled).

    By your post, I saw just to update and the KB3004394 (installed on 12/10/2014) and KB3024777 (installed on 12/12/2014) show as comfortable. I usually leave the Windows download updates automatically and I install them to stop. I watched the second update and according to Microsoft.com:

    Install KB3024777 to fix a problem with KB3004394 on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2

    The KB 3004394 update which was dated December 10, 2014 can cause additional problems on computers that run Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. This includes the inability to install future updates. This new update is available to remove KB 3004394 from your computer.

    My problem is, as of today 14/12/2014, I still get the pop up "this computer is running not windows genuine', even with KB3024777 installed.

    Any thoughts?

    Thank you

  • 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.
