HP 27 1200 Omni: Game Mode does not work on Windows 10
Hello
I just installed Windows on my Omni 10.
Unfortunately, the game (and TV) mode no longer works!
In other words, when pushing the nutton game mode, the screen Windows and sound/app continues to operate and on the screen, while there is no mouse or keyboard or remote control possible entry!
When you press the button mode of the game again, the system returns to windows 10.
I would not go back to windows 8.1, so hopefully this is a known issue with the right solution!
HP has not all W10 drivers for this model.

Pavilion a6530f: what video card installed works for Windows 10 and a 300W power supply?
I have a6530f a desktop Pavilion PC. I am currently running Windows 7 and am interested in upgrading to Windows 10. I get and error message when you try to install the W10. "NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430". I think I need to improve my video card. Can what video card I install that will work for Windows 10 and is rated for the power supply 300W in my lap? I'm not very techie.
Many of these inexpensive graphics cards for Newegg.com should work with Windows 10. Just watch for those who require a 300 watt power supply system or less.
Drivers for these cards may be on the page drivers GeForcefunds. Simply select the card in the drop-down list or use the "Auto-Detect".
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

GAME LAUNCHER HAS STOPPED WORKING
Hi guys,.
Yes my game Launcher has stopped working and I hope you can help me solve the problem.
I use a Windows 7, 32-bit system.
I was playing poker on the Web The Gaming Club Casino site.
Earlier in the day, I noticed that wouldn't start the games but had no warning or explanation, I restarted and everything seemed ok again until the episode of casino recently where I was talking about the pitcher.
Thank you for taking the time to help me here.

Reg.exe stopped working on windows 7 64 bit when I want to play an old game.
Hello guys. I am using windows 7 Home premium 64-bit in my laptop. I just downloaded an old game (2005-2006 perhaps) so I wanted to play. After finishing download (no virus, I checked), and I run the executable files, the message occurred: Reg.exe has stopped working. and the game does not start.
The game has an application inside reg.exe file, and I think I have to run it manually. but when I tried to run it, the same message is produced.
This is the error log:
Signature of the problem:
Problem event name: BEXApplication name: reg.exe
Application version: 0.0.0.0
Application timestamp: 44eeabe9
Fault Module name: StackHash_0a9e
Fault Module Version: 0.0.0.0
Fault Module Timestamp: 00000000
Exception offset: 0018fedb
Exception code: c0000005

Additional information 1: 0a9e
More information 2: 0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789
Additional information 3: 0a9e
Additional information 4: 0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789I already asked in a computer forum, but they said that it is the problem of the ILO. and I read in microsoft help, the reg.exe will not run under 64-bit windows. I read the conclusion, but this isn't for windows server 2003, Windows 7. It says that I have to type reg query \\64server\HKLM\software/reg: 64 or if I want to change it to 32 bits reg.exe, I need to replace the reg: 64 by reg: 32.
Will there be another conclusion of this problem instead to install the 32-bit operating system?
What about XP mode for windows 7, it'll work?
Help me please... Thank you very much.

Hi Liclac,
· What is the name of the game?
Check if the game is compatible with windows 7, you can see the ink below:http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/default.aspx
If the game is not compatible then you can try to run the game in compatibility mode or in windows XP mode.
Try to run the game in compatibility mod and check if the error occurs again: make sure to run older programs in this version of Windows:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows
