When I play FreeCell it flickers and sometimes it flickers when I click and I select what's behind it on the desktop

Original title: Twinkle

I searched this but can't find anything that really seems to apply.

When I play FreeCell it flickers and sometimes it flickers when I click and I select what's behind it on the desktop.  I noticed recently that other things sparkle too but have not been able to narrow down the what and where.
An article I read recommended from is safe mode and see if the problem persists.  But you can't run FreeCell in safe mode.  I don't know any other way to test.
Yes, I know FreeCell is lame, but that's what I need with my coffee in the morning.

If the game does not work in 'safe' mode, it turns on a "clean boot"? Don't forget to reset to normal boot once you have studied. If the game works and there is no flickering then don't follow the section "how to determine what is causing the problem by performing a clean boot."

Have you tried updating your graphics card drivers? Take a look at the support site of the manufacturer for your PC and see if there is any updated versions of the GPU for your PC drivers. If there are new compatible drivers available, make a restore point and install it, then try them. If there is more trouble, you can always "roll back" to the existing version.

You can also try a SFC/scannow scan to see if that detects and corrects any problems.

  • I am trying to accept an invitation from my mom's remote assistance and this is what I got after entering the password: connect Remote Assistance could not be established because the DNS name of the remote computer cannot be resolved.

    I am trying to accept an invitation from my mom's remote assistance and this is what I got after entering the password: connect Remote Assistance could not be established because the DNS name of the remote computer cannot be resolved.

    You get the error "a Remote Assistance connection could not be established because the DNS name of the remote computer could not be resolved" when the requesting computer (the computer 'demand' help) sends its private IP address instead of its public IP address in the request for assistance. The solution is 'easy' for some and difficult for others. I present here for your perusal:

    (1) obtain the public IP address of the requesting computer (by visiting a web page such as http://www.whatismyip.com)
    (2) save the remote assistance request computers
    (3) modify the remote request for Assistance (RcBuddy.MsRcIncident) using a text editor (such as notepad) and replace the private - section of IP address should be something like this:
    RCTICKET = 65538,1,192.168.1.33:3389 «»
    with the public IP address from whatismyip.com or elsewhere - should be something like this:
    RCTICKET = 65538,1,74.125.47.147:3389 «»
    (4) save the file of RcBuddy.MsRcIncident 'new '.
    (5) double click it to connect to the computer needing help
    (6) cross your fingers and hope it works!

  • FF restarts after update one opens a new box that says update highly recommended when I click on next FF is unable to connect to the server, it's been going on for two weeks. What continues?

    FF says that an upgrade is available. After that has been done and restarted FF another window opens saying that a very important (urgent) update is nesscary, when I click on the button NEXT, a progress bar appears and says the connection to the server, but NEVER seems to connect, and no matter how long I leave it does NOT connect. It just sits there trying to connect while I use FF.

    Do a clean install (re)-:

    • Uninstall your current version of Firefox and remove the Firefox program folder before installing this copy of the Firefox installer.
    • Do not remove the data of a personal nature if you uninstall the current version.
    • It is important to remove the Firefox program folder to delete all the files and make sure that there is no problem with the files that were the remains after uninstallation.

    Your bookmarks and other profile data is stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a relocation, but make sure that you do not select delete data of a personal nature if you uninstall Firefox.

  • USB problems: When HP Photosmart C4599 is enabled, all other USB ports on the desktop becomes useless

    I just bought a HP Photosmart C4599 and successfully installed the software provided on my HP Pavilion 743c Desktop.  I connected via a USB cable.  I am running Windows XP SP3 and automatic updates are on.  I've updated the software that came with the printer and everything seems to work properly.  I printed and scanned successfully.   However, I noticed that when I connect my memory stick or digital camera via USB, I now get this message annoying that States, peripheral USB not recognized.  The only way to get my computer to recognize my stick of memory or the camera, is to stop my printer and then reconnect my stick of memory or the camera.

    Somehow the printer or the software's a waste opportunity to my computer to recogize the devices that are connected via the USB port.

    I wish I could connect my memory stick or the camera without turning off my first impression.

    Any solution would be really appreciated.

    This usually occurs on computers with older chipsets USB which cannot provide enough power to multiple devices at the same time. The best you can do is try and install the latest drivers for your motherboard or update the BIOS of your motherboard. Otherwise, use only 1 USB device at the same time. Or, buy a powered USB hub and connect the printer or get a new computer.

    In addition, you do something else. Unplug all USB devices from your PC (except the keyboard and mouse). Now just turn off your computer and unplug the power cable from the Tower of the wall outlet. Be it like that for about 20-30 minutes. Now just press the power button on the tower for about 3 to 4 times to ensure that all static electricity is passed, then plug the cable into the wall and turn on the PC and try the two devices to connect to the PC and see if you get the error messages.

    In addition, you can insert the memory stick into the memory card slots printers and view pictures on your computer.

    SOMEONE CAN ME ADVISE ON THIS POINT.

    JOHN ROBERTSON VS

    Hi JohnRobertsonVS,

    Method 1

    Refer to the Microsoft article to download and install Windows Help program (WinHlp32.exe), check to see if it helps.

    I can not open Help files that require the Windows Help program (WinHlp32.exe)

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/917607

    Method 2

    Try the method below and see if it helps.

    a. Open a command prompt window and run the following command:

    regsvr32 msxml3.dll

    b. Press ENTER.

    Note: To open a command prompt window, click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, right click Guest and then click run as administrator.

    Method 3

    If the previous step fails then I suggest that scan you SFC on the computer that would be a corrupt system file search.

    The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows Vista installation CD.
