The W520 yourself running the casual game?

Hello everyone,

One thing that I asked about a laptop, workstation as the W520 is that it can run a game like Minecraft smoothly.

Don't get me wrong, that I realize that the W520 is not a gaming machine, but since it has high hardware specifications, I suppose that it would be able to handle the occasional game like Minecraft. A computer laptop $600 may perform moderately well. I mainly use Adobe Premiere and Adobe Photoshop, but I like to have fun once in a while.

Some places say that a game like Minecraft works very well on the W520 while others say it's terrible. I think that the variations are due to different measures.

Minecraft is a Java program, and my 5-year old office she works perfectly on a 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo with a NVIDIA 9500 GT.

What is your vision? Can the 2000M handle it? Or should I expect to run something like this well?

Play Minecraft fine with the i7-2720QM. Photorealistic LB pack is installed, but no shaders. All the parameters max 1920 x 1080.

BF3 is correct at 30 fps 1920 x 1080.

I would expect to be maxed out however L4D2.

  • Need to insert the CD game every time to run the game

    I installed several games using Installshield.  Why some need the CD in the drive, while others do not?  On my old computer (~ 2002) running Windows XP, I don't have to insert the CD.  I do somehting wrong in the configuration and installation?  Games that acquires a CD for example - Atari Backyard Baseball, Microsoft Zoo Tycoon, EA games Harry Potter.  However Encore Hoyle card Games, Quicken, Adobe Photoshop Elements run fine just shortened clickingthe all.  I don't think I should have to insert the CD everytime I want to start the game and it should work the same as XP.  What I've done wrong?

    Hi hillx049,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    Some games require the CD to play because it is the requirement by the manufacturer and not Windows or operating systems that run them. The manufacturer of the respective game must be able to better answer this question.

  • Cannot install the simple game (Fishdom) due to the run-time error 'asked to terminate in an unusual way.

    I asked about Playrix, but they are completely clueless.  I bought Fishdom and downloaded.  When I go to install it, to the last window when he says 'launch Fishdom?' and I hit "Yes", it will not launch and I get the infamous runtime error:

    Runtime Visual C++ error library
    The application requested to terminate the duration in an unusual way.
    For more support, please contact administrators.

    Maybe it's not the exact wording, but I know that everyone is familiar with this error message. There is no error message number to identify the problem.

    I posted this under games even if my prob is perhaps not relevant to this forum.  If anyone has a suggestion of where to go, it would be very nice and I can re-post.

    I've updated my graphic drivers, Update ActiveX, DirectX, restarted, and whenever I have it re-downloaded, not only do uninstall the version I tried to install, but I go to C/program/files/Playrix and delete anything there as well.  I don't have this in-between software - as a Playrix games - car Manager at least gives me a direct download link so I'll actually not through a distributor site.

    I have XP SP3, use FireFox (current version), and my graphics driver is Express family Chipset 965 (which I think is a Ricoh or Intel product?).  It came with my Dell Inspiron 1520.  I have no other problems with anything on my computer and play frequently other simple match 3 games - online - on the MSN Games website.

    I have Malwarebytes running in the background.  I also tried to disable the real-time protection and install and which did not help.

    I really want this game, and anyone who can help me with this will have my eternal gratitude.  (A lot of promise, I know, but you'll be worth it).

    Thank you to everyone who is addressing this.  I will try what you suggest!

    Hi Catsin,

    I suggest you follow these methods and check.

    Method 1: I suggest that you try reinstalling from Visual C++ Runtime library.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=a7b7a05e-6de6-4D3A-A423-37bf0912db84

    Install the application and check.

    If the method above does not work, proceed to the next method.

    Method 2: Run the clean boot and try to install the application.

    To do this, follow the steps in this link:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353

    NOTE: Once you check the functionality, follow the suggestions under steps to configure Windows to use a Normal startup state.

    If the previous step fails, then try to install the program in compatibility mode and check if it works.

    Don, welcome to the forum.

    The first thing you need to do is to upgrade the power supply (PSU).  The current PSU is only 250W.  It is not enough to run a new intermediate level video cards.  They require a minimum of 400W.  It would be a good idea to buy at least one with 500W.  This will give you more choice of cards.  I love the Corsair and OCZ PSU.  I always suggest measuring the current PSU and comparing measures to whichever you choose.

    You should stay at 9 "or less for the duration of the video card.  This ensures that it fits in the space provided.  You would need a larger case to go further.  I like XFX, EVGA, Sapphire and PNY in that order.  The two cards in the links can be inserted into the computer and they will be good for the games.  Be sure to read the 'Détails' and 'Clients' to learn more about each of them.  I'm looking for products that have more than 100 customers and are at least 4 eggs.  Normally, this will be a very good product.

    Let us know if you have any other questions.

    Hi Matthew79,

    What edition\version of Windows you are running on the computer?

    Normally the games can be installed any number of times on the same computer with the product key provided. However, if you install the game on another computer be considered wrong licensing.

    Contact the game manufacturer for further information on licenses and buy the game.

    Hi aminal Merlin,

    Most programs written for an earlier version of Windows also work in this version of Windows, but some older programs might run poorly or not at all. If an older program does not work, use the compatibility mode to run these programs.

    1. right click on the main game program icon that you want to play in this version of Windows, and then click Properties.

    2. click on the Compatibility tab.

    3. under "Compatibility Mode", check the box that reads as "run the program in compatibility mode for" and in the drop-down menu, select Windows XP or another previous version of Windows.

    4. click on apply and then OK.

    5 install the game in compatibility mode and restart once the installation is complete.

    Check if this helps you play these games in Windows Vista.

    6. for more information on running a program in compatibility mode, see the following link.
