When I try to play the game, I bought I get an error message saying no pixel shader 2.0 support
I hope that there's enough information in the title area
Hello Johndruck.
Pixel Shader 2 designates a characteristic of the graphics cards. In this case, it seems that the game requires Pixel Shader 2 but does not support your hardware.
If you mention the particular game and this specific graphics card we can know if it is indeed the case, in which it is not that you can do about it. Or if something happens.
If you don't know what graphics card you have to take a look at http://www.windowsresource.net/vista/guides/hardware.php

Error when you try to play the game: memory access violation
memory access violation
I have redownloaded a game that has been previously loaded on my computer, now I get this error when you try to play the game "Memory Access Violation".
Your sound card that is more than adequate.
If the game was previously installed and worked fine then maybe it is not been completely uninstalled.
I suggest you uninstall the game, look in the registry for any left over entries that can refer to the game.Then restart and reinstall the game.
Alternatively, you can try to install in compatibility mode. If the program is not compatible, then you try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.
Use the following steps:
(1) right click on the program
2) click Properties
3) click on the Compatibility tab
(4) select run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows Vista or other operating system, the program has been run successfully.Check out the link here: make sure to run older programs in this version of Windows

When I try to download the update of windows I get an error code every time: 802440F. Can you please help me solve this problem?
@ Evanston only!...
You see the effects of a hijackware infection! If you had used the computer longer, I might recommend trying to detect & remove infections. But it would probably take a week or two and I'm sure you have better to do with your time right now so I would recommend the following (which shouldn't take any more than two hours of uninterrupted time).
See...
Cleaning a compromised system
http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc700813.aspxPersonal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows. Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) will NOT fix it!
HOW to do a clean install of Win7: see "using the custom installation and formatting the hard drive option" (or "reinstall it Windows 7") http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-7 article
NOTE: If your computer came with a set of disks, there is a hidden partition restore (not to be confused with the restoration of the system) you would use to do the clean install (AKA a "destructive recovery").
After the new installation, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of EVERYTHING on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) AND BEFORE to plug in a flash, SD card, or any other external drive to the computer otherwise:
4 steps to help protect your new computer before going online
http://www.Microsoft.com/security/pypc.aspxVERY IMPORTANT! -Online free trial Norton will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. You MUST uninstall the trial for free AND download/run the removal tool again Norton before installing updates AND BEFORE installing your new application antivirus (for example, Avast5 or Microsoft Security Essentials, free).
Tip: Do not install Spybot again; It's really overkill in Win7 my humble OPINION, especially if you are installing Microsoft Security Essentials.

http://www.Microsoft.com/security/antivirus/rogue.aspxIf you need additional assistance with the clean install, please start a new thread in this forum: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7repair/threads
If these procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, good reputation and stand-alone computer (that is, not BigBoxStoreUSA or Geek Squad) repair facility.
Wish I had better news for you. Good luck & achieve before Thanksgiving 2010!

Original title: left disabling Alt Taskbar pop-up Menu window
Hello
I have problems with the taskbar. Every time I tap my left Alt key twice, then left Alt + (1-6) a context menu appears. It's the same thing as right click a tab on your taskbar for anyone who is struggling to recreate my problem. Right Alt does not cause this problem.
It is very bad news for me as the focus of changes in context menu of what I do. I play video games in my free time and have game left keybinds for Alt + 1,2 & 3. I will support on these keybinds quickly all while playing. This will cause the context menu for taskbar activate and I'll be tabbed out of my game.
I searched for weeks trying to solve this problem and I have not found any that is worked. I tried to disable the jump lists. I tried to change the registry for a right click on the taskbar. I saw patches of this forum and several others and nothing I found works.
Recently, I contacted Microsoft to the it Department by phone and said they knew exactly how to fix this and if I have to pay $50 to one of their technicians have to connect to my computer that they would have this problem corrected in the blink of an eye. I find this limit extortion honestly and I hope someone had this problem and can provide steps on fixing it.
Thank you
Ryan LeBlanc
Thank you for your answer, but the answer you provided is for a question that is different from what I was living. Your link has solved a problem with someone who has the taskbar pop up when their mouse/cursor passes over. My problem was to have a drop down of the taskbar appear whenever I type left Alt + 1/2/3/4 etc.
However, I have since fixed. If there is anyone else out there with this problem, it's a hardware problem with my keyboard. I couldn't get anyone to recreate my problem by pressing left Alt + 1, etc. (although you can recreate my problem to click with the right button on a program in the task bar), so I reset my left Alt key. After resetting my left Alt key this problem does occur more (yay)
Thank you

I did evry thing I can think and what's on the net
CAN ANY 1 CAN HELP ME!Hi buddy300,
Welcome to Microsoft windows vista forums!a. this happens only with games?
b. remember that any changes made to your computer before this problem?
Have c. you installed a software debugger on the computer?This problem may occur if one or more of the following conditions are met:
· There are programs (for example, an antivirus program or debugging software) that run in the background and that interfere with the game startup process.
· Your sound card or sound card drivers are outdated.
· His Creative Audigy card is installed on your computer. This sound card may conflict with the game startup process.
I suggest you do the following:
Step 1: disable the security software on the system tray and then check.
(Note: enable security software after the test)
Step 2:
Put the computer in a clean boot (namely if any third-party software hinders the process)
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135 ---> how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
Check with step 1 (run a clean boot):-If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.
Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.
(Note: after find you the problem causing the program, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program and also don't forget to put the computer to a normal startup)
Step 3: try the steps mentioned in the article
Games: Error Message: a debugger has been detected: unload the debugger and try again
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/812759
Step 4: System Restore: -to restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:
a. Click Start, type system restore in the search box and then in the list click on the system restore program. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
b. in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose another restore point and then click Next.
c. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem and then click Next.
d. click Finish.
e. the computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in at the time where the restore point has been created.
