Why Vista treat games like second-class citizens?

No matter what software I install will ask if it can create a shortcut on the desktop. But the games will not be a reason any. (More precisely, World of Warcraft)

It's nothing to do with Windows Vista.  Not surprisingly, the games themselves decide where they want to create their shortcuts.

If you want it on the desktop, just drag the icon of the games or to copy and paste from the Start Menu Explorer. Paul Smith - MVP for Windows desktop experience... I crawled off NNTP - for now.

    This laptop has an ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics chip, which could be too underpowered to run intensive 3D games.

    Personally, I'd go for a model that can handle better 3D games like the Satellite A500 or P500 series.

  • When I'm playing games like Fifa07 Satellite M40-129 freezes

    When ia´m to play games like Fifa07 my phone freezes from time to time. I have a Satellite M40-129 with the latest version of the driver 6.14.10.6525.

    I get the error message (German): http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/2337/grafikkartentreiberdf9.png

    Dxdiag: http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/2250/grakatreiberup4.jpg

    Isn't there anything I can do to avoid those who freezes.

    Hi Sascha

    Is the laptop freezes only when you play this special game or it freezes by other applications, games, etc?
    Don t know exactly why it happens, but if the laptop freezes only during playback the Fifa07 then it might be a problem of compatibility of graphics driver with this game.

    Do you use the graphics driver for the Toshiba page?

  • I play world of warcraft when I use a voice chat program while I play the dumb of vista, the game, how do I stop doing that? I use mumble for voice chat___

    that I play world of warcraft and I start to mumble vista mutes the game how can I stop at vista muteing the game?

    Hello Papastew10, I don't think it's something that makes Windows Vista.  Sounds like that, it's something controlled by Mumble, so there should be some options for that somewhere.  If not but you might be able to substitute by right click on the speaker icon in the system tray and choose Open Volume Mixer, try to adjust the volume of World of Warcraft from there.

  • Is it smart to play games like World of Warcraft on a macbook pro 13'

    Hello

    I'm new to this forum, because I just bought a Macbook Pro 13' of 2015. I used to play games on a computer with windows laptop, but I bought a Macbook Pro for my work and study. I want to play games, but only if its not harmful for my Macbook. I tried to play WoW and he did work properly but the thing is that the fans inside the macbook has started to blow very hard. And the macbook started to warm up, I don't really know if it's a good thing...

    The question is: is it smart to play games like World of Warcraft on macbook pro 13' (2015)

    I really hope that there is someone in the same situation as me, and he can tell me his opinion on this subject.

  • Can I play games like the SIMS 3 and oblivion on Satellite A300D-17F?

    Hey,.

    I will soon buy the laptop Satellite A300D-17F, which has an AMD turion ultra 2.2 ghz, 4 GB RAM, ATI hd 3650, drive HARD 320 5400 rps... etc...
    I was wondering if I could play games on it, but not crysis and far cry 2. I like games like Oblivion and sims...
    I'm going to play these games without any problem and especially the sims 3 and oblivion... ??

    Thank you!!!

    Hello!

    Well for Oblivion, you need at least a processor at 3 GHz, 1 GB of RAM and a graphics card Radeon X 800 for details.
    So I think that there should be no problem to play oblivion on medium-high quality, may be high is also possible.
    Furthermore, I played The Elder Scrolls III (Morrowind), the game before and I liked it, it s a very nice RPG. :)

    I was wondering if you wrote about the SIMS 3 it of not released yet so system requirements are not known to me.
    But I think that it should also work on your laptop at least of low quality.

    Good bye

  • Can I play games like Counter strike on Satellite L300d-11V

    Hello

    My Satellite L300D-11-v can play games like counter strike source?
    I installed, but they are unplayable.

    Any help please?
    U can change graphics shared in the Bios?

    Hello!

    I think that a Satellite L300 is not the laptop to play new games like Counter Strike Source. The Qosmio series is perfect for play.

    You have the latest graphics driver? Do not play on the higher quality settings, set it to medium or low.

    And if you buy a computer game on the back of the packaging are the required configuration. So that you can see if it s able to play (good) on your laptop.

    Bye!

  • Satellite P300D - 12L: Enter key did not work in games like FIFA, NFS

    Hi all!

    I own a laptop Tshiba Satellite P300D - 12 L.
    In the last month, I got Win XP 32-bit installed and it became a strange problem: the Enter key did not work in games like FIFA, NFS, but in others, and in the office, it worked normal applications.

    A few days ago, I installed Win 7 64 bit and now I have the same problem.

    Recently I went to my local Toshiba service and they told me, about this problem, it's a software issue, so I changed my OS.

    Anyone know what I can do to solve my problem?

    Thank you

    Hello

    You mean the Enter key works in common applications such as Internet Explorer, Windows Explorer, or some editors correctly?
    Only these few games are troubled?

    Hmm that's strange
    You use the latest version of the BIOS?
    If this isn't the case, then update it!
    You can find the latest version of the BIOS on the European driver Toshiba page

  • Satellite L350 - want to reinstall Vista without touching the second partition

    Hi all

    I want to reinstall Vista without touching the second partition that is full of data.
    I'll be able to do with this procedure? http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm#

    The confusing part is when it says in the explanation that the * entire hard drive * will be formatted (step 2) but on one of the photos, it is written that only data on C: will be erased.
    I have Satellite L350, and the hard drive recovery process is the same as on the connected tutorial before (I'm not completely obviously)

    Hi amigo

    I tested its operation, and from my experience, I can confirm that when you use the HDD recovery procedure as described in the Toshiba document all data saved on the second partition won t be deleted.

    Only if you are using recovery DVD (please create a) will be formatted the whole HARD disk.
