  If this is not Vista compatible, read the info on the link above.

• Why no game does not work on my hp pc?

  HP Pavilion Sleekbook 14 TS model system

  Physical memory (RAM) installed 4.00 GB

  I hope that's enough!

  Some games play on this laptop, UN-fun wildtangent excepthe and hpgames of himself. I played games on my desk with the lower Setup and they work better. But this pc doesn't even start the game even with this good config. is it not useless. I know that is not a cell phone game but God, his is not even how much I paid for this thing.
  I recently installed AC3 and it can't handle the game. His old problem of gel has just begun.
  Also my touch screen does not work. ENGG HP had came and lol that guy did a reset. I coud do it at home.
  I just put all my frustrations here after seeing this POP2T is not compatible after all the config.
  HP please increase your ability of products!

  Your sleekbook does not meet the requirements of the system to play AC3.

  Prince of Persia 2 Thrones just may not be compatible.

  I recommend that you choose a laptop with specs higher next time, which should relieve your frustration. Your laptop current is fine for basic computing, but was not designed for many games.

• Why my sound does not work on Windows 7? I corrected, he had once but no idea how!

  So, my computer does not work.

  Specifically, it does not on any browser. Notifications from the computer work, but whenever I search something that his online, he will work the first time and ANY time after that not work then. Yesterday a friend and I were going through to try to challenge it... and we did it! He worked all day! Woke up this morning, am on Facebook and NOT of HIS. -_ - (Are you KIDDING ME?) I tried to update the driver, but he said that it was the best he could get, basically.

  I don't know what the problem is! Help! (Please)

  Most often when a device does not work, it is because the driver is damaged. Should help to re - install a new copy.  You must install the latest driver EVEN IF WINDOWS SAYS YOU HAVE THE BEST as drivers become corrupt.  Uninstall the current driver and without rebooting, install a new one.

• Original half-life and add the games does not work on windows 7 64-bit

  Hi Quick_flight,

  ·         Did you install the game in trouble-free compatibility mode?

  I suggest that you try to install the game by keeping the computer in the boot and check if you are able to use the game without any problems.

  You can start Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  How to run check and clean boot if you have the problem.

  1. click on Start, type msconfig in the Start Search box and press ENTER.
  User account control permission: If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.
  2. on the general tab, click selective Startup.
  3. under selective Startup, click on to clear the load Startup items check box.
  4 click the Services tab , select the hide all the Microsoft Services checkbox and then click disable all.
  5. click on OK.
  6. When you are prompted, click restart.
    
  Now, install the game in Windows XP compatibility mode and check.

  Reset the computer to start as usual

  .  When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:
  .  Click Start, type msconfig. exe in the Search box of Start and then press ENTER.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.
  .  On the general tab, click the Normal Startup option, and then click OK.
  .  When you are prompted to restart the computer, click restart.

  Read the article for more information: How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135.

  If the problem persists, I would recommend that you contact the game manufacturer for more help on the issue, also check if patches are available.

  Thank you, and in what concerns:

• Why the sound does not work in Windows 10 with BootCamp installed on MacBook Pro mid 2012

  So, I recently had a mistake huge hard drive, then I formatted the drive and installed Windows 10 I downloaded the BootCamp 5.1.5621 software (which is the version for this computer) and my audio didn't work. I've used Windows 8.1 in the past without Activation, but that was a few months ago. I've deleted it 2 days after I put it on the computer, but all drivers well worked out there. Although I plug in a USB headset and audio installed and worked fine! Help, please! I even reinstalled BootCamp!

  I have the same Macbook Pro 2012 with boot camp and dual boot Windows-10 and Sierra.

  Everything works fine. I think you have the wrong boot camp files.

  I think that you need version 6. Reconnect to OS X and run the boot camp assistant and try to download new files from boot camp.

• my photoshop 5.5 does not work in Windows 10? Why?

  My old Photoshop 5.5 does not work in Windows 10, can I do to make it work?

  Are you talking about 5.5 PS reported 16 years ago? I think I heard someone say that they got that work, it is that such an old program that it is not intended to be run on modern OSS. It is a 32-bit program, and I think that you must have your hard drive partitioned off less than 1 TB, or it will not be installed. There is also the review of folder names. The default is to load the programs (at least in Win) in the folder c:\program files, which is intended for 64-bit programs. PS 5.5 must be loaded in the (x 86) folders, but its installer has no idea about it.

• Why my printer does not print with Windows 8?

  Why my printer does not print with Windows 8?

  Did you just upgraded or purchased a new computer with Windows 8, and now you can't get your printer to work?  If so, this can help you.  Many people have questions about the installation of their printer on a new OS.  This will help you answer these questions and make sure you get everything installed.

  Before you start

  Before you try to install the printer on a Windows 8, you should check to make sure that the printer is compatible with the new OS.  The link below will give you a list of printers that will work in Windows 8.

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03168175

  If you have upgraded your computer to Windows 8 formed another version of Windows, make sure all software uninstall complete of your printer.  It should still print, but to use all the features, you will need to reinstall the software, if available.

  Another thing to consider is how you want to connect the printer to the computer.

  1. USB.  You must ensure that you have a USB cable which does not exceed 6 feet (about 2 m).  Be sure to connect the printer directly to the computer.  Do not use a USB hub.
  
  
  2. Ethernet cable.  Make sure you have the network configuration, you have a free cable port on the router, and you have an available Ethernet cable.
  
  
  3. Wireless.  You must ensure that you have the configuration of the wireless network, and you have the password of the wireless network.

  1. installation Via USB

  Installation via USB in Windows 8 became much simpler for users of HP printer.  In other versions of the Windows operating system, you need to launch the installation and wait that it asks for the USB connection.  If you do not, you will need to uninstall the printer from the devices and printers folder and then launch the installation.  In Windows 8, which won't be a problem.  If you plug the USB cable from the printer and then install the printer software, work remains.  Now for in depth instructions on installing the printer via the USB port click on the link below.

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03521864

  2 installation Via an Ethernet network connection

  For an Ethernet connected printer, the installation is disconcerting.  All you have to do is to connect the printer to the network.  Once you have done so, Windows 8 will automatically install the drivers for you.  Then, all you have to do is install the rest of the software, if available.  It's really as simple as that.

  http://WWW8.HP.com/us/en/support-drivers.html

  3 installation Via a wireless network connection.

  For a wireless printer, network installation is disconcerting.  All you have to do is to connect the printer to the network.  Once you have done so, Windows 8 will automatically install the drivers for you.  Then, all you have to do is install the rest of the software, if available.  It is roughly the same as just Wireless Ethernet installation.

  http://WWW8.HP.com/us/en/support-drivers.html

  Alternative installation methods

  With Windows 8, the drivers of many printers are installed with the operating system.  These are called pilots InOS, since they come built-in to the operating system.  If you have one of these printers, you should have to do simply connect it to the computer via USB, or connect to the network via Ethernet or wireless.  Once you have that makes Windows will take care of the rest.  There are other methods of installation of your printer if normal methods don't work for some reason any.  You can install the printer is using the printer, or through Windows Updates Setup Wizard.

  Set printer wizard:
