Beash19,
The first thing to do, if you have not already, is to update your video card driver.  Once this is done, if the problem persists, contact the manufacturer of game for a possible fix or the update of the game.  If this is the only program that he comes up with seems so they need provide a type of update.

  • When I try to play solitare, I get (like my first game), a game that has already been played? I used to play all the time, but now it does. Can you tell me how to fix it?

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Ideas:

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    Open Windows Explorer, navigate to c:\users\username\saved games\microsoft games\solitare.  You see a game called Solitare.SolitareSave - ms? If so, this is the game that retains the proofreading.  Try to delete this file and rerun Solitare.  If this is the Spider Solitaire, you play, change the link above for Spider Solitaire.

    You could also try to delete and re-add the game.  To do this, click the Start button, type programs and features, or turn off Windows features turn on, uncheck the games box and click OK.  Then click on or turn off Windows features turn on once again and double-check the games folder and click OK. This will reinstall the games.

    Hope this helps,

  • Re: Satellite L350 - screen goes black when I try to play

    I have a laptop Toshiba L350 Sat. Its currently running on Windows Vista. Caused by a virus, I recently had to reinstall Windows. The laptop is now free from virus.

    My problem is that when I try to play some games that I have the screen goes black and I have to do a forced restart using the power button. There are no other noise running in the background, and Ctrl alt del does not work either.

    Is or has anyone else suffered from this problem and if so how they remedy? I'll try to re-installthe drivers when I get home this morning, but I can't think of anything that could be the cause of the problem...

    Any help would be appreciated

    Hello

    Which disc you used to reinstall Windows?

    Normally, if you use the all Toshiba Recovery disk should work fine after that. These parameters are pre-tested by Toshiba.

    In addition, you can try to clean your laptop using a jet of compressed air. This could blow the dust of fans cooling and, therefore, it of not necessary to disassemble the laptop.
