Windows 7 volume screen bar minimizes the game

I just plug a PC brand new & I was looking to play my game and all work nice & smooth, but when I adjust the volume, it minimizes the game. Is there a setting that allows me to stop doing that?

Hello

Try to uninstall/reinstall the drivers for the audio controller.  Also try to uninstall the game and reinstall.  In addition, with what is a new computer, it should still be under warranty.  Contact the OEM support or return for a replacement or a new PC.  I hope that this information is beneficial.

Thank you

    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.

    You say that the SFC has found corrupt files.  He did state to be able to correct or not?  If she couldn't fix the files, then you will need to install on-site to fix corrupted files.

  • Sims 2 questions on Windows 7 (64 bit) - black screen when starting the game

    Questions of title: Sims 2 original on Windows 7 (64-bit)

    The compatibility for Windows 7 thing, says that the Sims 2 and all the expansions will run in Windows 7.

    When I installed in fact all games Sims 2 on my laptop, however, the game does not start.

    I click on the game, opened upward, and I just get a black screen, causing me to have to restart the entire system.

    I tried to run in compatibility mode, which was a no-go. EA customer support asked me to update my drivers, I did. Because none of this worked, I guess that's another problem in Windows 7, so it would be great if I could get a solution to this problem!

  • Black screen when playing the games

    I play several different types of games on my computer and just recently, I noticed that when I attempet to Alt + Tab to go to my office or a different window, I get stuck in a black screen with only the mouse showing sometimes. This came only in the last week and went with all the games that I played. I managed to make Ctrl + Alt + Delete but can only solve by making the system to reboot. All playing the games themselves, I don't encounter any problem, but only when I try to go to a different window that already passed.

    Help?

    Well, nothing has really changed, you can try the system restore and restore a week ago and see if it solves your problem.

  • Recently, my Task Manager window was more a bar, Minimize/Close. I have to restart my laptop to get rid of him.

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6-1030 Notebook PC running Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit. About 2 weeks ago, I noticed that when I go to the Task Manager window, it has more Ribbon to reduce/enlarge/close in the upper right corner of the window.
