want a good computer for games like the big fish

I just bought a portable 20 rove. Had problems with a game.  Support told me that this criterion is not good for playing games.  I take this back and you want to know if envy touch smart 23 is a good computer to play games such as big fish games hidden objects.

Debbi, welcome to the forum.

Yes, this is a Touchsmart , which should be good for the type of games you mentioned.  If you want to play more complicated games, it maybe not so good, however.

Here are requirements for hidden objects.  If you look in the middle of the page, you will see the following text:

The game system requirements:

  • OS: Windows XP/Windows Vista/Windows 7/Windows 8
  • Processor: 2.5 GHz
  • RAM: 1024 MB
  • DirectX: 9.0
  • Hard drive: 188 MB

  • Vista goes to 50% CPU usage and connects the computer for hours after the beginning

    Original title: Vista processor

    Stupid Vista goes to 50% CPU usage and connects the computer for hours after the start.  Cannot run anything with any request of CPU without getting bogged down and crashing.  It is not windows defender, I suspend this service and the machine is ok for another 1/2 hour, them I'm up to 50% of the CPU.  The idle process said Task Manager is > 90%, still indicates 50% CPU usage and the cooling fan looks like a 747 taking off.  Should I just pull the machine and go for Linux, or what?  Cannot run games or whatever it is, totally disgusted with vista of POS and microsoft can it Deep and do not get windows 7, it is probably worse.  Is that all I can turn off to get the same performance than, say, windows 3.1?  It would be preferable to the current situation.  MSCKMA.

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
    with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
    manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
    Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
    older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
    get new manually if you wish.

  • This laptop is good for games like WoW or the Sims 3?

    I want to get a new laptop around the mark of $400 - $800 or less may be possible (but I doubt it) that can operate computer games and is good for other things.

    Does anyone know a good laptop, I could get?

    Hello

    If you want to use the laptop for games, I recommend buying one with an external graphics card. Means the graphics card should not be a part on Intel CPU (Intel HD GPU) but you must choose the laptop with a chip graphic ATI or nVidia GPU.

    See the Toshiba product page for more details on laptops equipped with such GPU

  • Satellite A60: Can't play good games like the Sims 2

    Hello.
    I have a satellite A60 and im having problems with my display driver.

    I have the latest updates on everything, but I still can't play good games. Even the Sims 2 will slow down.

    Idecided to a cooler on the ati chipset (like some toshiba models) but I can't seem to put on, although his decision-making in the right place.

    so my question is:
    Why the video display is so slow? make my processor always on 99%
    Why the chipset cooling fan does not work?

    Thank you

    Hey Buddy

    I think you have misunderstood something. This issue has nothing to do with the version of the graphics driver you know?

    AFAIK the A60 Sat came with an ATI graphics card that supports only 32-64 MB shared memory!
    It is simply down to play new games with maximum performance!
    The graphics card shared graphics memory for main memory and this reduces the amount of main memory.

    Last but not least the CPU always runs with maximum performance during game!
    The CPU is highly requested, play games or run other applications of high performance.
    Who is normal!

  • Can I play games like the SIMS 3 and oblivion on Satellite A300D-17F?

    Hey,.

    I will soon buy the laptop Satellite A300D-17F, which has an AMD turion ultra 2.2 ghz, 4 GB RAM, ATI hd 3650, drive HARD 320 5400 rps... etc...
    I was wondering if I could play games on it, but not crysis and far cry 2. I like games like Oblivion and sims...
    I'm going to play these games without any problem and especially the sims 3 and oblivion... ??

    Thank you!!!

    Hello!

    Well for Oblivion, you need at least a processor at 3 GHz, 1 GB of RAM and a graphics card Radeon X 800 for details.
    So I think that there should be no problem to play oblivion on medium-high quality, may be high is also possible.
    Furthermore, I played The Elder Scrolls III (Morrowind), the game before and I liked it, it s a very nice RPG. :)

    I was wondering if you wrote about the SIMS 3 it of not released yet so system requirements are not known to me.
    But I think that it should also work on your laptop at least of low quality.

    Good bye

  • Would be a 3 GHz i3 be a good computer for hearing

    Hi, I m trying to get a computer for a community radio station that will use auditioning CS6.  We have a bit of a budget, but not a massive one.  Thought get a 3 GHz i3 or higher (budget about £110).  We have an audio interface USB Tascam 4 x 4 that we'll run on it.  You want to be able to send the output to listen (on another computer).  We will save you 4 tracks and put a limiter on Volume of speech and, possibly, an EQ on 2 of the tracks and let the other 2 unfiltered.

    The machine works well.  He'll give us a lot of leeway.  How well a PC it will be hearing CS6?

    Curious to know if it's actually a little more dotted, if we spend less that we can also use it on a monitor?

    Ben

    Instead of a lot of processor speed, you need a lot of memory and a second fast hard drive large enough for your audio files... Hearing works best when there are separate hard disks for operating system and storage.  What operating system do you intend to run on it?

  • This pretty good computer for my editing needs?

    I will get a new computer for video editing.

    My other computer is suitable for audio production, mixing and mastering.

    This one will be for recording (using the software and device of capture of game) and editing the videos.

    I do not use many effects, mainly color corrections and some time remapping using Twixtor or inventory features.

    I use Premiere Pro CS6

    I record using the Elgato game Capture HD60 (H.264 encoding)

    Also, these slots plug / available do not allow for the addition of a Solid State Drive? Can't find any information on places available...

    Here's the deal: the GTX 745 will be the factor limiting in this PC, assuming that you add an SSD. However, without knowing the case where the PC is assembled in, some OEM cases have only one internal drive Bay which limits the whole system to just one OS disc and no disc storage internal. That severely limits scalability.

    And the GTX 745 is much slower than the GTX 750 for two reasons:

    (1) it is an OEM only version paralyzed from the GTX 750 with only 384 CUDA cores (against 512 CUDA cores in the GTX 750);

    (2) it only uses DDR3 memory instead of the 750 GTX GDDR5 memory, and so the flow of memory is a crummy 28.8 GB/sec instead of 80 GB/sec of the 750 GTX. And I recently tested a GT 730 with GDDR5 memory to give you an idea of ugly about how the GTX 745 will occur.

    ·         It happens with all CD/DVD?

    Method 1: try and check if the drive works with another computer.

    Method 2: clean the CD or the DVD. To do this, use a disc cleaning kit. Or gently wipe the silver side of the disc with a soft and Lint cotton cloth. Do not use cloth of paper which can scratch the plastic and leave streaks. When you clean the disc, wipe from the center of the disc outward. Do not use a circular motion. If the problem persists, clean the disc with a damp cloth or a commercial CD or DVD cleaning solution. Dry the disc thoroughly until you insert the disc in the drive.

The only way to recover the laptop is ALT + CTRL + DELETE and wait until the game to recover & cases laptop stop responding & the only way is to hard reboot.

    The only one that works such fine bit is Battlefield Bad Company 2. Then I change the DirectX (setting.ini) of car in DirectX9.

    I think that its not big problem for Toshiba co.  :)

    Hi mate

    I think that it is a nuisance driver in most cases not entirely compatible graphics cards drivers are the reason why games dishes t working correctly.

    What to say; I think that the update of the driver is the key
    You will need to find a good driver version
    Toshiba pilot European page you can find the latest drivers published by Toshiba
    But this does not mean that these are the most recent drivers released by nVidia or ATI
    nVidia or ATI drivers are always different

    In order to check the drivers from nVidia page too.
    You can also try the version published on the Web site www.omegadrivers.net or www.laptopvideo2go.com
    But note; These are not tested drivers and use is at your own risk!
