  Windows 7 align on the net somewhere around 15 FF (FF drag window to the left or right edge of the desktop) has stopped working. FF now aligns only on the full screen. It's really a pain since I often have two Windows Open (FF at the request of the half, such as excel or outlook open in the other half). I keep hope it is fixed with the next version, but I see that this problems with 18.0.2.

  Safe mode is a good suggestion. Snap of half-screen FF has worked in safe mode. I then jumped back to normal mode and started disabling add until I figured out that you caused the problem (FindBar Tweak 0.5.5). All better now. Thank you!

• Graphics problems during the game Age of Empire II in mode full screen in Windows 7

  Original title: screen resolution and/or graphics problem with Windows 7.

  Hi, I had currently two computers in my house upgraded to windows 7, one a Vista XP.

  I am trying to run Age Of Empires 2 on both computers, the game has installed and running with ease, however it won't let you play the game in full screen, and also the color of things like grass and trees appear in red and orange, water displays brilliant purple.

  I tried to change the windows screen resolution and the resolution of the options in the game, but it only changes in the percentage of the screen resolution, that he chooses to play in.

  I can solve this? All advice is appreciated and thanks in advance.

  PS I tried to reinstall and update graphic drivers, both computers have the same problem of new clean installations of windows and Age of Empires 2.

  Thank you

  It is a problem due to the fact that AOE 2 was built on the platform Windows 95/98 Win9x. It will expose a few graphical artifacts while playing. You can try setting compatibility Win98 or Win95 check. There is also a workaround that may work in my opinion. You will need to search for "how to run StarCraft (1) on Windows 7" in Bing (Alternatively, Google: P) and it would show a site with a .bat file that could solve the problem of graphics in fullscreen.

  I hope this helps.

  What I did with StarCraft was this:

  On the desktop, right-click and select new text Document. Inside the Document, type this

  Taskkill /f /IM explorer.exe
  D:\"StarCraft"\"StarCraft.exe".
  Start explorer.exe

  Just replace the location of StarCraft with the location of the AOE II.

  Save the file as: 'AOEII.bat' and then set the file type to the text file to all files.

  What happens is that if corrects the discoloration and restart the explorer again after the end of the game. Although there is no easy way to change the icon of the good bat file: P

• KB2296011 causes the blank screen in Windows Vista Home Premium?

  I'm troubleshooting an issue with an installation of Windows Vista Home Premium on a laptop. After Tuesday October 12 updates, the laptop goes to a blue screen after authentication with any account. There is a mobile cursor mouse, but nothing else. C/a. gives the menu, but "Start Task Manager" has no effect, restart will only work.

  I am able to login normally mode without failure. Remove the update KB2296011 removes the problem, I narrowed down it to only this update. It is now necessary to restart and use system restore to go back before this particular update to access Windows.

  I did the following to troubleshoot:

  (1) I tried to install the system update tool, which had no effect.

  (2) I tried to install the KB2296011 update manually after downloading, the problem returns after installing.

  (3) I tried to install the KB2296011 update manually mode without failure by another post here, but this is not possible, which gives the following error: "Windows Update Standalone Installer: Installer encountered an error: 0x8007043c.»  This service cannot be started in Mode safe. »

  It seems up to present have no way to obtain this update to install without the origin of the white screen issue. Please advice, thank you.

  OK, it looks like at this will be my last post.

  This technician seems to address the issue much differently from the rest. After the things we have done in my previous post, he seems convinced that the problem occurs when this security update is installed, it thinks it's UAC which is damaged, and possibly other files. If its resolution suggested the problem is to run a repair on Vista installation, in order to repair potentially damaged or corrupted files. This would correspond well with hijackware theory posted earlier, too.

  It seems door by another symptom not reported to me or noticed until now. With or without UAC enabled, standard users cannot connect. It passes the connection, in the preparation of your office for a disconnection. Administrative users can connect very well. As the primary user of the machine is an administrator (of course!), this was not noticed until I created a Standard user to test and found this problem.

  I hope than a repair installation (or even better, an upgrade, as I prefer to simply wipe the HD and start over) will solve the problem. The machine has 2 GB of RAM and a 2 GHz dual core chip, so I think it can handle very well (my wife does mobile) Win7.

  I hope that all of this novel, we have written here will help others as well.

  Hello

  There were problems before you re-installed Windows?

  Given that you did do a re-installation means that the causes are mainly hardware, BIOS, low-level chipset
  drivers or other drivers and programs that load low level.

  To see how to use BlueScreenView and MyEventViewer to troubleshoot the Bluescreens see the
  Methods indicate in this thread - top 3 responses (+ 1 other).

  We can analyze the minidumps if make you it available to the SkyDrive or another file
  sharing sites. This may not help but it's worth a shot. Don't forget to check the wiring and
  Rigorously test the hard drive.

  ZIP or download the content of the C:\Windows\minidump

  The most likely causes are the hard drive problems, wiring or a problem of hard disk (on the motherboard) controller. Some
  antivirus/antispyware/security programs could play a role. See message methods to test the
  course over ground.

  BCCode: 24 stop Code 0 x 00000024

  Cause

  One possible cause of this bug check is damaged drive. Corruption in the system of NTFS file or defective (sectors) on the hard disk can cause this error. Corrupted drivers SCSI and IDE may also compromise the ability to read and write to the disk system, so causing the error.

  Another possible cause is the depletion of memory pool non paged. If the nonpaged memory is exhausted, this error can shut down the system. However, during the indexing process, if the amount of memory available nonpaged pool is very small, another driver in nonpaged kernel memory in pool mode may also cause this error.

  Solve the problem

  To solve a problem of hard drive corruption: Check Event Viewer for error of SCSI and FASTFAT (syslog) messages or Autochk (the application log) that might help determine the device or driver that generated the error. Try disabling any antivirus software or Disk Defragmenter tools that continually monitor the system. You must also run the diagnostics of material provided by the manufacturer of the system. For more information about these procedures, see the manual of your computer. RunChkdsk /f /r to detect and resolve any file system structural corruption. You must reboot the system before the start of the analysis of disk on a system partition.

  are a few others.

  You can save your files by putting the drive in another computer as a 2nd disk (best) or external
  Drive USB enclosure and then backup to removable media such as CD, DVD or other USB drives.
  Of course a real store of the computer or the manufacturer of your system can help to recover the files.

  Or you can use a boot Ubuntu CD to back up data.

  Restore point:

  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

  Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

  Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   

  If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Data recovery, if required:

  1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

  2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

  3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

  http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

  Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

  Download the Vista software from the link above.

  After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

  Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

  Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1^st in the boot order.

  Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

  When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

  Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

  Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

  Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

• A gray screen with Windows Vista once loading reached log on screen-no visible mouse

  I have Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit and a NVidia GeForce 7300 GT video card.  Since yesterday, when I try to start the PC, the display is OK until just before the log on screen (when the Green loading bar disappears and the user account selection page will appear).

  Once he reached this point display is just grayed out (non-uniform color, some variations in tone on the page).  No icons or the mouse pointer is visible.

  In safe mode I tried to restore the system to a date where he worked well, but it did not help.  I disabled the display adapter and can then load Windows ok, but the display is naturally very ugly.  I downloaded the drivers for the video card, then activated the display adapter, but this takes back me to the original problem.

  Any ideas how I can fix this?

  Thanks for the reply.  It was all down to the graphics card.  After connecting through Mode safe, I turned off the "display adapter" or a graphics card.

  I then loaded windows normally and everything was ok, but the display is obviously affected.  I will revive the graphics card but after the reboot, the same problem appeared.

  I then loaded Windows again through safe, disabled the display 'adapter' once again, reloaded windows in normal and DELETED mode the display adapter.  Then, I downloaded the latest driver for the graphics card.  I received an error message saying that the material was not present.  However, the restart, the graphics card was detected, installed and now everything is OK A.

  Phew, a moment I thought I had a virus.  Ive been advised that there is probably a conflict between the graphics card and software?

• Black screen in Windows Vista.

  When my computer has not been used for a while, the screen goes black. Normally I can activate it again by moving the mouse or touch the keyboard. But sometimes it is not possible to restart and I have to use the main power button on the CPU to stop and start again.

• Failed to get Microsoft Space Cadet Pinball to appear in full screen in Windows 7

  Is it at all possible to play Pinball Space Cadet mode full screen on a Windows 7 - system powered?

  I tried all compatibility settings, but nothing works.

  The standard screen (about 20% of the total screen space) is too small to have a good view of what is happening and the ball is too fast.

  Please help, anyone, thanks in advance

  Thom

  I had this problem (command FullScreen would go full screen, but only use the image of the small screen) for the lifetime of Windows 8 and 8.1, but in upgrading my computer, during which some system files have been changed, the problem I described has disappeared and now I order full screen the screens playing Pinball across the screen, as he did when I had Win 95, 98, Vista and Win 7.

  The upgrade was a hardware upgrade, so apparently some minor changes to System.  The problem of origin with Pinball (as I described above) may have been connected with the previous mobo, which apparently caused a sleep command requires to restart and finally the system would only run in Mode safe.  A new mobo (ram & cpu) and the video card brought the material to date and the problem of Pinball has been fixed.

  However, as I say, the fix may be with the software that was related to the change of equipment.

  I'm happy it's fixed and Pinball runs just once again.

• Get games running full screen on Windows 7

  Last week, I bought this new Toshiba satellite laptop. It has Windows 7. None of my games will run full-screen. I've never had any problem with them my other computers or XP or Vista systems.

  I have W7 Home Premium.

  I'm just sick of trying to understand this. The only solution after it is simply to return the new laptop and buy a used one that works on Xp or Vista.

  If there is someone who could help me, I would be eternally grateful. I am so angry with this. I am the owner of a gambling site and none of my games 33 will now work with the Windows 7 program.

  Thanks in advance for your time, and I really really appreciate your time and your help.

  Hi Tmiller2008,

  What are the games you play?

  Are you trying to play the games online in mode full screen?

  If you download the games and install them on the computer, you can try to do it in compatibility mode and check if it helps to play games using the full screen.

  Also, if you are these online games and you use Internet Explorer as your web browser you try to use compatibility view as some of the ancient sites are not compatible with Windows 7.

  Why some sites Web not displayed correctly in Internet Explorer?
