Satellite L500-1XL: black border play Big Fish Games

I have a Toshiba Satellite L500-1XL and also on another laptop. I have some downloaded games from Big Fish games on two laptops. On the other laptop, they appear full-screen mode, but on the Toshiba there is a black border all the way round which makes the image much smaller.

How can I make them appear full screen on the Toshiba please
Gary

Have you tried to change the resolution or video settings in the game options?

  • Windows 7 and big fish games

    When trying to play big fish games I get only a very small screen.  It will not open in full screen.  I tried to run mode compatible xp and turn off windows 7 areo.  But then games does not open.
    Help, please.
    Thank you.

    Hello Heatherbp.

    It's probably because games are running in low resolution.  There are a few things you could do on your screen and specific games.

    First would be to change the resolution, in which the games are running, this is usually found in the video options.  However, these options are not all games.

    The second option will depend on your monitor, if you use a desktop display it will likely options to stretch the image to fill the screen.  Even a laptop usually has something similar, although it can be controlled by software so it will not be controls on the front of the screen.  The documentation that came with your laptop should see him explain how do that Paul Smith - MVP Windows Desktop Experience for... I crawled off NNTP - for now. Detachment Aldershot, United Kingdom. On the internet at windowsresource.net and dasmirnov.net. Please post back to let us know what works and what does not. :-)

  • Satellite L500-1XL - does boot and the screen stays black

    Hello

    I have a Satellite L500-1XL, when I turn it on the fan and lights and the hard drive light blinks several times then nothing, he's not going to the Toshiba screen remains black screen, tried ext monitor but still nothing.

    The fan always runs very quietly and the hard drive is running in, I put the hard drive in an another L500 and it is very good and can be accessed without problem, it has only 1 stick of 2 GB of RAM DDR3 and the other L500 I is DDR2 so I can't try to change the RAM. If I remove the ram should it beep or does only desktop computers do this? Mine does nothing when it is removed.

    Any help would be very useful, thank you!

    Hi gazzdowzell,

    If your laptop doesn t boot it seems to be a hardware bad working it could be everything, motherboard, BIOS, CPU, etc and it is difficult to say what exactly is the problem.

    First of all, I would like to try this:
    [What steps must be followed if your Toshiba laptop does not start? | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=21]

    If it doesn t work, please contact a service provider authorized in your country. If your laptop is under warranty, repairs are free.
    In addition if you remove the RAM and the beep of t n for laptop, it seems to be another problem. If you have removed the RAM module would be defective, the computer would have a beep.

    Good luck!

  • Satellite L500-1XL - strange Windows 7 error - hardware failure or virus?

    Hi people,

    I am running windows 7 on a Toshiba Satellite L500-1XL.

    About 6 weeks, Windows refuses to load.
    I would get the "Toshiba" screen, then on startup of Windows startup, but then nothing else than a black screen with an icon of the mouse (mobile).

    I could not in safe mode, and Toshiba built in recovery utility would not work.
    "Even using the Toshiba ' product recovery" DVD did nothing, even if the drive was some strange, repetitive clicks for this, so I suspected a faulty hard drive. (Possibly where the MBR has been OK, but the data weren't?)

    In any case, I put in a replacement HARD drive (backups are a wonderful thing BTW!) and DVD recovery charge perfectly and everything seemed fine.

    About 2 weeks later, I had the same problem
    ("Toshiba" Windows startup splash screen, but then nothing but a black screen with a mouse (mobile), no safe mode icon; no recovery utility)

    This time, however the product recovery DVDs worked fine first time.

    Another 2 weeks and the same problem will reoccur; This time, it took another HARD disk for the recovery media to work.

    So my question is, really, what could be causing this anomaly?

    Would it be a virus which is corrupt something that is preventing Windows from loading? And the 'prevention' so that I can not load even the recovery utilities?

    In this case might it also prevent the loading product recovery DVD?

    Or am I looking at an intermittent fault with the connector on the HARD drive that can be either physically damage the drive or at least prevent it from loading?

    I read about the so-called "Windows Black Screen of Death", but I'm sure this isn't that.

    All the advice accepted with gratitude...

    > So my question is really what could be causing this anomaly?
    I doubt it s a virus or something like that, but nothing is impossible.

    In my experience, the data on the HARD drive can be affected by different software.
    In my case, the data on the HARD drive was corrupted, because the 3rd party software changed some files and the master boot record is damaged.
    I formatted the HARD drive and created new partitions.

    I also use the CCleaner and I defragment the HARD disk several times in the week.
    Since the HARD drive and the data are ok and didn t notice such symptoms more.

    Maybe you should try this too

  • Low RAM in Satellite L500-1XL

    When I ran a diagnostic on my laptop (Satellite L500-1XL) report he said that my RAM was low and to upgrade for better performance - it was very slow to start lately.
    However, I discovered that my model is no longer supported and I don't know what to do.
    Any suggestions?

    Keep in mind, I'm a total novice when it comes to computers so nothing too technical if you please!
    Thank you.

    With more RAM your laptop will have better performance.
    According to specification for laptop, your laptop comes with 2 GB of RAM, but it can be upgraded up to 4 GB.

    So buy second 2 GB of RAM and upgrade your laptop.

  • Satellite L500-1XL - new hardware upgrades

    Hi all
    I have the Toshiba Satellite L500-1XL and recently bought a new 500 GB internal HD and the upgrade went well. However, the internal transfer speeds aren't that fast. He is often out on 18mps level. Why? Affects of that? Use of the RAM, the use of the disk, the free storage space? The HD came with the laptop was 5400 with 8 MB, but my new is 7200 RPM with 16 MB with 11 seconds of access time. If that should not be much faster?

    Also, how can we get the support of USB 3.0? Only through new hardware? I know it goes into Windows 8 as this means there could be a few Windows 7 supports or who is still dependent on material?

    What are the most effective upgrade options to make my laptop run faster? He was modest. When I got it, but now use it for any need so get. Thus, upgrading to HD 160 GB to 500 GB (5400-7200), but it's unique processor with only 2 GB of RAM. I noticed on the Toshiba page so it says on a 64 bit system with 4 GB of RAM, the chart may use up to 1 800 MB of RAM upgrade RAM (not expensive) and then the processor? Even a single dual core would do the job? No need for a costly i3 and perhaps not compatible with the motherboard.

    Thank you!

    Hey Buddy,

    And what was your old HDD? HARD disk speed depends on different factors. You copy a large number of small files and a large single file?
    It s also useful to defragment the HARD drive from time to time. This can improve the speed. Also keep the system clean and use a registry cleaner like CCleaner that cleans up your registry.

    USB3.0 is a different interface. This new operating system wouldn t help you because it s material new feature/upgrade.

    Other improvements regarding: CPU and graphics card is not supported as you can read here:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/FAQ35006D000RR01.htm

    Your laptop has Intel GL40 chipset and the maximum RAM capacity is 4 GB. So you can install 2 GB DDR2-667 module in each memory location.

    Hello

     
    He has already worked on the computer?
     
    My research, I find that it is a known problem with big fish games. I also see that some users were able to solve this problem and play games by disabling the antivirus program on their computer. You can try the same thing and check.
    Reference:
    Disable the anti-virus software
    Note: Disable antivirus and firewall, virus or malware can get into the system. After this troubleshooting step, select the security software.

  • Macromedia projector says he does not work for Big Fish Games and games won't go full size

    Original title: Macromedia projector says it does not work!  Help!

    I need the macromedia projector to see Big Fish Games strategy guides. It is said that it does not work! Also my games won't go to full size but stay in the smallest size. I don't know when in the last 2 weeks, what happened. I was in the hosptial and came home, computer to update and I've had problems since.  Downloaded DirectX as recommended in the reading of other problems, but it did not help. Would appreciate ANY help. This grandmother is not super computer but have got along very well for years even with new programs. Thank you!

    Hello

    1. is the specific question of Bigfish games? Other games play fine?

    Macromedia Projector is a utility that includes a Visual Flash presentation in a stand-alone EXE file, so you can view the images on a PC without the Flash Player installed.

    Method 1:

    You can try to run the game in Windows XP compatibility mode and check if this solves the problem.

    To install the program in Windows XP compatibility mode, see the link below:

    Make older programs in this version of Windows

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows

    Method 2:

    Make sure the application you are trying to run is trustworthy and that you have downloaded or installed from a source valid.

    a. click the Start button, right click on "computer", and then select properties from the list.

    b. click on 'system protection', click on the "Advanced" tab and click the settings button in the performance section, then click the Data Execution Prevention tab.

    c. There should be two selections, and "Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select" must be selected. Click on the Add button and navigate to the folder that your game/app for (usually located in the folder program files). Click on the .exe file in the folder that launches the application.

    d. run the game and check if it works well.

    You can also post your query inin BigFish forums for assistance.

    You can also change the resolution of the games are run in and check if you get the full screen. This is usually found in the video options.  However, these options are not all games.
