Set up a user profile specifically for the game

Hi all

I installed Windows 7 (64-bit) and use it mainly for work (Excel, SPSS, Word). I also have many programs start automatically with Windows and run as background processes. What I want to do is create a profile user who loads only minimum programs and services required to play video games. Currently I have to manually complete the applications and services, which is a pain in the thigh. How can I configure a user profile specifically for games?

TYIA,

Mark

Hi Mark,

You can create a new user profile, but you will need to put your computer in a clean boot for the new user account only State to play games and to disable applications/services that are not used frequently.

New user account will inherit all startup applications and services of the administrator account.

To create a user account , follow the steps in the link

To put your computer in a clean boot State, follow the steps in the article.

  • Create a user account specific for the base game.

    I would like to be able to create a user account to install a basic version of a game that has expansion packs installed on a different user account. is this possible?

    It will not work as it is, as it will be installed to the same file location.  However, it can work if you create another folder to install sub in the user account.

    Example: C:/program files/games/game

    make a folder of the game - 2

    C:/program files/games/game-2

    so you want to now the-2 is the second.

    I can't recipient that it will work, as all games are different *.

    You can try to fix it with Safe Mode - repeatedly press F8 as you bootup. The ADMIN account in trunk

    Some programs such as the updated Google (if you added the toolbar Google, Chrome or Google Earth)

    Let me soce entry details:

    1. all computers need to have at least one administrator account. It will not work without it.
    It does NOT, however, create a profile For YOU defaultAdmin. It belongs to the user or the owner to create and decide who is Admin, and who is a regular user.
    2. even an admin account will not get to install and change the settings automatically. UAC (user account control) always appears to ask for confirmation of the task by clicking on continue, or by typing the admin password.
    3 be the main user is not to be an administrator. It is up to the user/owner of the computer to be configured as such.
    That said, now my question... How do you know that you're not an admin?

    How to setting assisted by Hardvare activate virtualiziation for the computer?

    Original title: the Hardvare-assisted virtualization

    Activation of hardware assisted virtualization is in the BIOS of your motherboard. How depends on the BIOS and the hardware you have.

    See http://blogs.technet.com/b/jhoward/archive/2008/01/08/how-to-turn-on-hardware-assisted-virtualization.aspx .

    If your system is a laptop or made by a major system provider such as Dell or HP, the system may not have the option in the BIOS, even if the hardware is able to use hardware assisted virtualization.

  • Private room for the game

    I'm working on a multiplayer chess game. I got it work by using a SharedCollection object that stores each trip. I also have a custom user field that stores the color of the room. For the moment, I have a dial-up connection that connects the user in a node of the Collection which has been previously implemented (after login as a HOST). A lot of people can connect to the game, but the first two visitors become players. It worked very well for the stage of development of my project, but now I want to take it to the next level...

    I investigated the MultipleGoups sample application and I think it's a great starting point, but I wish I could have the following scenario:

    1 - main chat area where users can challenge other players to a game.


    2. once the challenge is done (click on the opponent), a private room is created and the game then begins between the two people.

    My biggest hurdle is to understand how I can implement a system where this would happen without the intervention of a HOST to create a new rooms and CollectionNodes for the game. (Maybe the challenger can become a HOST?)

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi there Justoliver,

    For me it is like

    1. a Hall room where people dispute between them (or maybe several lobbies)

    2. when 2 people accept a challenge, they ping your web server with a kind of RPC call.

    3. your web server then generates a new room for the pair, with the integration of API server and returns the new roomURL to customers 2. The House would be created from a template that contains the nodes in the collection you need (so no need for a host set up).

    4. the 2 people on the head to the new room and the private sector.

    So in this case, your web server acts as host to put in place the appropriate rooms. Check out the Developer Guide CAA - Chapter 6 contains details about the construction of this sort of thing.

  • I have been using the functionality of Firefox in which I could have multiple sets of tabs open, but only see the game I was working with. I have updated and now the functionality is Gone

    I have been using the functionality of Firefox in which I could have multiple sets of tabs open, but only see the game I was working with. I have updated and now the feature disappeared. I had a small icon on the top right of my toolbar. I used it all the time to keep windows separated for financial, plans to travel items, news, etc.. Has it been removed from Firefox?

    The feature of tab groups is always present. You can try with the button right of the + after the last tab and Customize.

    Hi, I just bought a laptop HP 'Pavilion g6-2213saHi. I wanted a general purpose shared around the House, but after reading a few reviews and see what I tlhought that was a good deal I went to Pavillion G6 she was supposed to be above average for the games.

    Actually, I only one game which was a present "FarCry3", so I assume that I would be able to load and play on the laptop. After installing the game I tried the FC3 "Map Editor", but it is 'very' slow and "lag" much like a desktop computer would not without a graphics card driver. I have not tried but I guess that online gambling would be substantially the same.

    Thanks for help

    It's graphic APU which meands it goes right into the processor. It is always integrated and not dedicated video and not intended for serious games. If you want to run really demanding games on a laptop you need a portable game special purpose-built and those experiencing a few dollars. HP makes a laptop 'game' that runs around $1500 and it is at best a thing of mid range lower, but still much better than what you are asking about. True gaming laptops start at $2000. The laptop you are asking on maybe run some games to lower settings very well. Integrated video is going is pretty good, but which is like saying you are high 'little person' of the world-not much.

  • Processor upgrade for the games.

    I have a Hp envy with a Core i7-4510u Cpu and a GeForce GTX 850 M.

    It works fairly well for the games, but I was wondering if it would be better if I swapped the Cpu for something different, and what models I could exchange it for.

    Hello

    What is your computer? It's a laptop? If so, save the money to buy the new machine because the graphics card for a normal laptop upgrade is impossible bunch of costs, more than buying a new, better machine.
