Some games do not work!

I had the wrong running quite a few recent games, include Deus Ex: Invisible War, The Movies, and Shogun: Total War. Now, these games is quite old, being of the most recent (2005) film which may explain why they won't work, but I have had little or no problem running of other older games such as Starcraft and Max Payne. I also tried to change the compatibility settings, run the game as administrator and download patches, but they still does not work. I don't even get an error message, the game simply does not start when I order him. I checked to see if the process runs via the Task Manager, and it does when I start the game, but then it just ends after a few seconds. If I change with a little compatibility settings the process can run for more, but nothing happens still, the Office goes black and then return to its normal state. Games that do not have anything in common? If someone could help me I would really appreciate that, thanks.

It may be something to do with it - http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-gaming/kb3086255-is-this-a-half-baked-solution-or-am-i/13d4c03e-f04f-40b9-b438-e903eda3cab9 which was a (kb3086255) update that stopped a few older games running, the symptoms can vary.

As a test you can try to uninstall the update and see if the game takes place then, or try the commands "SC..." specified in this post and the linked MS article.

If that's the problem, you need to decide if you want to abandon the software update and run the risk of light security, or run batch files, as shown in the post to start and stop the service before and after the execution of the game.

I hope it helps, if it's not post back and I hope someone else can help more.

  • Satellite L50-A-19N - need to update driver nVIDIA - some games do not work

    Hello

    I have the problem with drivers nVIDIA for my 740 M,
    The thing is that I can not update drivers because any drivers I have install my core 580 MHz GPU clock drops everything at stake. But when I return to the first drivers that I had on my base GPU clock portable (326.60) is 1058 MHz all-in game.

    The problem is that I can't run some games because I need to update the drivers.
    Just some games do not work on 326.60.

    I tried to contact customer support, but the page is not available. -.-'

    Hello

    First of all, please note that use of the 3rd third-party drivers is at your own risk.

    You must use the drivers supplied by Toshiba driver page because these drivers are changed and designed for mobile use.

    This driver supports the overheating protection, which means that in the cases that the temperature of the GPU would rise to higher level, the driver would clock down the GPU to maintain the temperature at the lower level.

    Of course, as I said above, you might try to test the drivers from nVidia page but it is at your own risk.

  • Diablo 1 does not at all, 12 years old game does not work on the new computer

    Hello, I have a Toshiba Satellite P200 with Windows Vista 32-bit, it has an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2400 video card. I also have 10 installed Direct x which, according to the manufacturers of my video card is compatible. I ran a test game that was included with the CD and it said that everything is okay. But it is still coming up with this error. "Diablo could not correctly initialize your video card using directX" then it tells me to update my directx which I did. check and update my driver for my graphics card and make sure its compatiable which I did and it's. I've been to Blizzard games, and they said that can not help me and I have to go to the manufacturer of the video card. I went to them and they said because it was a laptop they cannot help me with this and told me to goto, the manufacturer of my laptop that I do at the moment, but if someone had this problem and have any ideas how I can get this race please tell me thanks.

    This game was designed for Windows 95. Of many old games do not work under NT (on XP and Vista) kernel unless you use the emulation such as DOSBox.

    You can try setting the game to run in Windows 98 compatibility mode (click with the right button on the games EXE file, select Properties-> Compatibility tab).

    Otherwise, you will need to install Win95/98 and possibly to use a video card more old since display drivers change so rapidly and drop the old features not more used.

    Hello

    I put t know what phone you use, but many Toshiba notebook series are delivered and support similar hardware parts.
    You can simply try to test and install the drivers from different series.

    The new Toshiba Bluetooth stack supports Vista and you can install it on all the laptops Toshiba which supports the feature of BT.
    Sometimes, you will get the chip card driver LAN or compatible Sound on the site of manufacture of chips like Intel, realtek, etc.

  • My Phlinxtogo game does not work correctly

    \Pogo Games\Phlinx to Go\PhlinxToGo.exe

    Hello
     
    1. what operating system is installed on your computer?
    2. What is the exact error message you get?
    3. what happens when you try to run the game?
    4. has been the work of game much earlier?
     
    There is currently no information on the compatibility of Phlinxtogo with Windows 7.
     
    However, you can perform two or three steps and check if it helps.
     
    Step 1:
     
    Once the Phlinxtogo game is downloaded, right click on the .exe file and run as administrator.
     
    Step 2:
     
    If this does not help, run the game in Windows compatibility mode and check.
     
    If none of the suggestions work, I'm afraid you must contact the manufacturer of game for a better support.

    "SFC 3498 records" is something that the technical support engineers who are hired by Microsoft should download so that they can learn how sfc/scannow actually works rather than send people on wild goose prosecutions that will not work.

    Looks like you just download the first file in the list of files on my SkyDrive - look down the list for the sfcfiles.dll and download it.

    To fix your immediate problem, you need to download:

    Sfcfiles.dll

    And put it in the designated folders.

    If this file is missing, it is probably being quarantined (actually deleted) by your unspecified antivirus/antimalware software.

    If this is the case, AV software you are using is distressed and he can just delete it again.

  • some keys do not work on laptop

    some keys do not work on the laptop.

    Hello

    Maybe it's a hardware problem, but it is always worth trying the following.

    Shut down the laptop, unplug the AC adapter and then remove the battery.  Press and hold the Power button for 30 seconds.  Reinsert the battery and plug in the AC adapter.

    Robinet tap away at the key esc that you start the computer to launch the Start Menu, and then select f10 to open the bios menu.  Press f5 to load the default values (sometimes it's f9, but the menu below indicates the correct key), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press ENTER.  Press f10 to save the setting and still use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press on enter.

    Kind regards
