The problem is that I can't get my pc running on Windows 98 to recognize the mouse.
I'm trying to set up an old pc on which my autistic son of 4 years can play educatioinal games, but the computer is equipped with Windows 98. Even, I went to a store deals and got an old mouse. I thought it was a compatibility issue and it is still possible, but it recognizes my new keyboard without problem. Suggestions? (Please?) I would even upgrade to Windows XP, but I don't have it.
Hello
1. What is the brand and model of the mouse?
2. If so a mouse USB and then you try to use different USB ports and check?
Windows 98 has reached the end of life support, as shown here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/support/endofsupport.mspx . This may actually be a problem with the hardware on the system (it is possible that the port may be bad). If you want to upgrade to Windows XP, you can try to look online for a possible way to get Windows XP.

How can I get 4 civilization running on Windows 7?
I use a laptop Toshiba Satellite L450D new that came with Windows 7 Home Premium pre-installed. I used it for a few months now without any problem - except that some features to my Microsoft Office suite have stopped working. But I can find workarounds for these problems. Here's my biggie:
I'm launching the Civilization 4 game
Developer: Firaxis
Distribution: 2K GamesI installed the game by using the run as Administrator option.
I then downloaded and installed the latest patch (version 1.61) also use the run as Administrator option. Apart from the installation of the patch Firaxis and 2 K offers no advice. Civilization 4 was published in 2005, so I guess it's out of warranty. It's fine for them, but only, I bought my copy in 2008.
If I try to run the program normally it seems to start fine - with correct flash screen - but then the notebook flips to a blank (black) screen and locks up. There is a lot of activity from the HD but no sound and nothing on the screen. I can't work in the Task Manager and I cannot turn the program screens.
Then, I tried to resolve the problems Compatabilitty. This time, with Win XP settings, I spent the flash screen, credit screens, and the introductory video. Then lock-up as above.
I have now my laptop works on a dozen big red-switching time and I'm tired. Hard restarts caused havoc with my settings. I had a heart attack 10 minutes when, after a reboot, all of my administrator access seemed to have been removed and I couldn't find a way to access the file Explorer. Then the system restore has refused to roll back!
Since then, the laptop seems to be returned to normal - although my firewall (non-Microsoft) seems to have lost its database of the programs safe and everything slows down asking questions every 5 seconds. Also, I will not dare try the system restore again until all my work is completely saved.
Please help - while I still have hair to tear.
Steve.

I got the Pavilion Elite HPE - 410 t with the included nVidia GeForce 315 graphics card and tried to get two monitors put in place. I have two VGA screens and I run one of them off the coast of DVI using a VGA port to DVI, and it works fine. However, I can not all signals from the built-in VGA port, so I started to look around the site of HP. I came across a page that lists the motherboard Plug and he shouted that the embedded video is not available if a graphics card is installed.
Thus, it seems that I am out of luck, but I just wanted to see if anyone could tell me if it is maybe something obvious that I'm missing. My nVidia monitors also has an HDMI port, but I understand that I would need a HDMI monitor to be able to use this port.
Can someone let me know if I'm wrong in my understanding of my options, or if there is an easy solution?
Thank you.
Hello
Yes, you are right to assume that if you have a video card installed, the integrated graphics chip is disabled. Looking at the specifications of your card (see link below), he suggests that it has a VGA, DVI and HDMI connection. However, I realize that these specifications vary and may not apply to the card that you have.
If yours doesn't have the VGA adapter, then your also had reason to assume need you a monitor with an entry in order to use 2 monitors HDMI.
Kind regards

Can't get FSX to run on windows 7
My computer crashed long story short, I had to upgrade to windows 7 because I didn't have my XP disc. Now when I try to run FSX, it tells me I do not work and install DirectX9. But I DirectX11 it should work! Help, please! (running-in compatible mode does not work it says the same message)
Well isn't DX11 a DX9 upgrade?
Why would I downgrade?Yes, but if you want support for DX9 games, you'll need to DX9
It's not a downgrade. When you install DX9, it is separated from DX11 (you keep DX11) and programs just to choose the one they made to use.

Hello.
I just know that the muse and I need guests alphabetical organization. The problem is that you will always get new clients. I need to know how to insert a new customer (square), and it is already in alphabetical order on the page. The site will be as in the link below, and each customer will have a window of these: http://www.connary.com/. I look back.
A hug, Murilo.
I believe you are referring to the rectangles of tile as visitors on the page? not exactly customer database?
You can add rectangle with different effects with rollover State of mouse and about adding new, you must do this manually in design mode.

I downloaded fbdownloader and after having done it, I noticed changes in my facebook and I'm getting random webpages popping up on the new windows. There is a link on my facebook that I can't get rid of and I uninstalled this program but seems there is persistent things that I can't get rid of. What can I do?
In fact finally found the answer here. When I downloaded the software fbdownloader, it installed other things. Something viral tube and another similar to google search engine, but not google. forget the name but once I removed and unenabled them everything was back to normal. Too bad keep what might have been a good free program that they attach themselves to the crappy stuff

Problems of Windows 8 pilots.
I just installed Windows 8 preview of developer on a virtual machine, I have an ASUS M4A88TD-M/USB3 motherboard. The problem is that I can't find any windows 8 compatible LAN drivers for it. All solutions?Given that Windows 8 has not been released yet not all drivers will work with him. Some drivers are very precise on the version of operating system, you may need to wait until they release the pilots of Windows 8 (if they make it to your model).
If the drivers do not install, try their installation in compatibility mode.
Troubleshoot Compatibility
This can help with some (but not all the) programs/drivers:
(1) uninstall the program, if it is already installed. Then when install you / reinstall instead of double click on the Setup file, right click and select 'resolve compatibility issues.
(2) then click on 'Try recommended settings' and in the next window, click on "Start the Program" to install it.
(3) after he set up see if it works properly. Note: some programs are perhaps not able to run in Windows 8. -

I tried to convert doc to the pds. He converted all the files in you folder to the pds. The problem is that I can't open any files without buying adobe. I can't unconvert so now I can't read all the files?
May I know the process to convert Doc to PDF files. If you use Acrobat to convert the files, and then with the same application you open.
If you used another process, in this case try using the Adobe Acrobat Reader application. Adobe - Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Distribution
