The short question: When i play the sims 3 on my laptop, if I need to plug it in to charge, it says "Plugged in, not charging", but only when the sims is running, help?!

The very long question (all the details you might need to help me )
Hello, I have a question, and need a bit of help I have a 10 month old Acer Aspier 7720G Laptop, and on Monday I bought The Sims 3. All my specs are up to scratch to play it, I used to play The Sims 2 on my laptop, and uninstalled it before installing The Sims 3. I FOUND last night, that as I was playing, my laptop battery started getting low, so I plugged it in, but although the beeping (that tells me the battery is low) STOPPED, and the icon CHANGED to show it was plugged in, when I hovered over the icon it said "plugged in, not charging" I blamed this on maybe it being too hot, so I turned it off, and tried again this afternoon and it was all going swimmingly. I'd charged it a couple of times today, and every time it was fine, I turned it off while I cooked dinner, it was off and cooled down for say, two hours? When I turned it back on to charge, it was doing fine, until, I started the sims... then it said not charging again. I turned off the sims, it went back to charging. what can I do?


I'm new to all of this, so hopefully if this is in the wrong section, or you think it would be better answered in a different section, one of the admins can move it for me? Or let me know and I'll repost it somewhere else... thankyou xI'm sorry but I have never seen a game where it can influence the charging of your laptop. It may say it's not charging but have you left it with game running and then checked your battery power after say 15Min's to SEE if it's going down?I have the same problem! I dont know what to do my laptop keeps shutting down from low battery... Quote from: scinbc on June 23, 2009, 02:22:20 PM

I have the same problem! I dont know what to do my laptop keeps shutting down from low battery...

Hi guys,
I have a very very very frustrating problem here. I bought cod mw2 and couple of weeks ago. I'm not a huge fan, so i waited until two days ago to really play the multiplayer on steam. I clicked the mw2 logo, logged into a steam account, and then started playing as usual. from then on, if i wanted to play again, i WOULD just open steam, it would LOG me in by itself, and then i would click the logo in the bottom right to and then choose cod mw2 multiplayer and the GAME would start. today, however, while playing an online team deathmatch, someone hacked the game. my character froze up (i could see the others shooting at me though) and then someone used aimbot to own us all. i left the game and then joined a new one. but then i noticed that i had all the titles, emblems, etc unlocked. I then shut down the game. i logged out of steam (to MAKE a new account to play on) but then i found out that the game wasn't showing up in the new account i made. so now when i log into my old (hacked) account, the game doesn't show up either. can someone please explain what is going on here?
I try to reinstall the game using the CD, but when i enter the CD key, it says that it's a duplicate and is associated with another steam account. now wth do i do?
i can post pics of myself with the game if you guys want.

EDIT: This is on Windows 7. I dont think you guys NEED to know the rest of the specs, do you?So.. Your old account Steam account was 'hacked' and then you created a new Steam account?

You do realize that if you bind games to a Steam account, they're bound forever? It's no wonder the game says the key is already in use.
Also, you might want to contact Steam technical support.. I'm kind of surprised you haven't already.

So the other day I was playing Skyrim on my Xbox and after resting and the game doing an autosave, I received an error stating that the disc could not be read, and to try cleaning it. So I took out the disc and it looked fine, but I cleaned it with a cloth anyway and put it BACK in. There were no scratches, and the disc was WORKING fine for a month and a half - so I didn't think anything of it. My xbox started up, the game loaded right away to the title screen, but when I went to "Continue" it would give the same error SAYING the disc could not be read and to try cleaning it.

This same error comes up when I select "continue" or "load." When I start a new game it will play through fine up until the character creation and then crash with the error. I tried playing without my hard drive, and the disc read fine and played a new game without an issue and I was able to create a character. I do not think it is the game disc itself, but something on my xbox somewhere that is causing it to not want to load or save to the hard drive. I've tried INSTALLING the game to the hard drive (which installed fine but did not fix the issue) and i've tried cleaning the cache which did not help.

Does anyone know if they have seen something similar to this, and what the reason might be? I can understand one save file being corrupted, but to not even be able to load the list of saves on the hard drive - I don't know. Any ideas?Isn't there a huge PROBLEM with early versions of Skyrim where the save games simply grew too big to be accessed? Although that just affected the PS3 from what I gathered.

I have all the files (I think) except these:

Splash.package
Voice2.package
Voice1.package
Techno.package
Voice3.package
Voice4.package
Voice5.package
Voice6.package

And when I get to the part where its SUPPOSED to install them, it tells me it cannot find the file and i have to quit installation. Can somebody please give me some download links to them? or something?They should be on the CDs you got when you PURCHASED the software.lolz i didnt sorry because i bought sims 3 and it turns out i don't have the specs to run it (video card isnt high enough version) so i was gong to download sims 2 because i already paid for a game i cant play! so you know, lolz We offer absolutely no assistance with pirated software.

I spend my HARD earned money on software, so I won't help you break the rules.oh whoops didnt know it was against the rules It's not just against the rules. It's against the law.Topic Closed.

If you play Call Of Duty 4 or 5 And use threatfire along with your regular anti virus you may start GETTING kicked from punkbuster with an error message SIMILAR to or LIKE this........(Restriction Unknown windows Api function 131134).

I did some research and found this site, http://www.punksbusted.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=61350 (look at post 6) I uninstalled threatfire and It solved my problems.But what are you using for a FIREWALL now?

Hey guys sorry if this is the wrong forum for this, i'm trying to get or make a new Desktop my budget is about $800 i'm a gamer and would love to make one to play newer games like BF3 on good settings - any help would be appreciated thank you. For $800 you could build a good system, however you could also pick up say a desktop computer for $400 to $600 and perform an upgrade to that ( Video Card and maybe also Power supply ) and be able to play that game as well as many others.

http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/computer_can_series.do;HHOJSID=t4FBTlGMhqzMqy3v7VbzFZkmTZpLC6JzrX5nBlLW7T1YQ0GFhNnn!1533407106?storeName=computer_store&category=desktops&a1=See+all&v1=series&series_name=p7qe_series&jumpid=in_R329_prodexp/hhoslp/psg/desktops/All_desktop_series/p7qe_series

This system above is a pretty good system and it comes with a free upgrade to 6GB RAM. Also has available 16x PCIe slot to install a BETTER video card. Power supply is 300 WATTS which is borderline for newer video cards, I'd upgrade that PSU to 500 watts minimum.
Ok i have this computer at home atm
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883113073
that i use to play games like WoW , MW3 , Sc2 but i can only RUN them with good fps in medium or low i would like to be able to play newwer games at high settings not super ultra or super high but high so it looks good, you think the one i have if i upgraded some PARTS will be best or just start by making a new one? tyIf you wanted to save money, you could just upgrade your PSU and video card in your current computer. Thats what I did!You could upgrade to one of the AM3 processors (Athlon II, Phenom II) with your current PC, merlok, and along with that upgrade your graphics card to a HD 6850, which requires a 500W PSU minimum and which currently is the king of price/performance:

So my sim drank a potion and it turned her into a Frankenstein monster thing, and I USED the MOVE objects cheat to delete her, and tried to reset her after, but she disappeared and won't come back... Where there's a normal red cross thing on her icon, there's not, and when I double click on it, she's still not back. Weird PROBLEM lol. Anyone know how to fix it? Thanks.Yeah, don't cheat.

Try moving her out of the house and back in. Or start a new Sim.

I have recently downloaded Jedi Outcast for PC, and COPIED it to flash drive for my other PCs. However, I've hit a bump, this PC does not like the game. I cannot run JediOutcast.exe because it says it's not installed, and I cannot run jk2sp.exe because it tries to run in demo mode, but it's not a demo. This computer has no OPTICAL drive, and no virtual optical drive either. How might I get the latter of the two executables to run properly?Looks like you hit the copyright BARRIER. Get a USB CD DriveMake an ISO out of the CD, copy it to USB stick and then run DAEMON tools.
Thanks to all, DAEMON Tools works very well.I'm using Mobile Intel(R) 945GM EXPRESS Chipset Family, and it works pretty well when I keep the quality to medium.

Hi guys, My directory messed up the other day and I deleted it, with my saves untouched and by messed up I meant I couldn't install mods because Nexus Mod Manager wouldn't let me change the directory path. So I reinstalled the game and went onto it with my mods on and it said something about my save and that some of the content may be missing and my hands were pale blue and there were chunks of water gone, so I turned off my mods and went back on, this time without any message but when I got in game my hands were pale blue and chunks of water were gone again. I really don't feel like starting again and I have reinstalled the game again but no luck. If ANYONE can help I WOULD be grateful, thankyou in advance.Sounds like a corrupted save game but I don't play SKYRIM so I wouldn't know if it could be related to something else. You might WANT to ask on the OFFICIAL forum.

Dear Gamers,
I have Windows 7 and a Radeon HD 6670 and 4 GB RAM. I have a Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 and I changed the RESOLUTION in that game to 1440 * 1054 or something like that. Turns out my computer supports only till 1440 * 900. Now when I try to start the game a portion of the screen goes black and bit can be seen of the desktop on the right hand side. How can I change the resolution back to normal?You need to edit the config file and PUT in the proper resolution. I don't know where it is for Call of Duty, but almost any FPS game has one.Thanks man, i think this was the same problem for batman arkham asylum i was having. unfortunately i deleted the game in frustration
Getting games to RUN can be a daunting task at times.

Did you find the config file?For cod yes. But for baman arkham asylum not yet. I suppose you find it only on installing?SYeah, although I guess you could just Google for its location.

But if you REINSTALL the game, it should assume a default resolution again. Or just copy the resolution from your desktop. Is there a reason not to use the in-game facility for changing the resolution?Quote from: BC_Programmer on January 17, 2012, 09:23:20 AM

I haven't actually seen any modern games do this more but I guess it still happens.

I'm on a Windows XP home, would I be able to install the same game twice on the same computer? So I could run them separately?
The reason I ask is I have a game I love to PLAY now, and another one that I want to install and add a mod to it, is there a way to install without overwriting the other one?You might try installing to a different partition (if you have more than one DRIVE or partition available. You also might be able to change a folder in the directory path in order to direct the installation to a different folder.

I've never tried this. I'm pretty sure someone else here probably has. Thanx, I HOPE someone who has tried this speaks up, I am worried of overwriting the existing game, I have put a huge amount of time into it.....
I do have another partition that my wife uses, could try that, but again I will wait for some views on this....Not offended one bit. It should work, as long as you direct the software to install the game elsewhere than where it would install by default.

Let's say the software, by default, "wants" to install to:
c:\programs\games\killer_paperclips.exe

You can change the drive, or change the directory path (or both):
d:\programs\games\killer_paperclips.exe
or
c:\programs\test\killer_paperclips.exe

These are things I had in mind, but I will try things on my own computer that I won't necessarily recommend unless I'm sure.

What game are we talking about here?

Most games won't install a second time as long as their original registry entries are still intact.

What you could do is simply install the game once, as normal, to whatever directory you choose. Once the game is installed, copy, not move, the entire folder containing the game to a second location. Depending on the game, the game may still work, or it may not. If it doesn't, just delete the copied folder. If it does work, then add your mods to one of them. Then, locate the executable of the copied version and create a shortcut on your desktop or wherever you choose (so you don't have to go through the folders each time to start it).

If that doesn't work (because of registry issues), there's a longer route you can take, which is much the same, but will require TWO extra copied locations, and means you have to overwrite the game every time you wish to use (or not use) the mods.

Location 1: Original installation folder.
Location 2: Backup of original installation folder.
Location 3: Modded copy of game.

When you want to use the mods, copy the modded folder over the original installation folder. When you want to switch back, copy the original backup over the original installation folder. Depending on the size of the game's installed files, this could take a while. Alternatively, you could backup and copy only the modded files, if you know EXACTLY what they are and where they go. Using this method, you are still using the original installation folder, so the registry shouldn't give you any issues.Thanx for the tips quaxo, using that and Aegis advice I got it to work, nice to know it can be done if you know what your doing.....
Cheers! Thanks for the backup, Q! I hadn't properly considered the registry. I knew there was a reason I was hesitant to just say, Go full speed!

Glad you got it WORKING, fullbug! I've actually done this with quite a few games.

World of Warcraft - With the game, two expansions, and tons of patches... it's a lot to do on 3 computers (mine, my laptop, and my girlfriend's laptop since she plays, too). Luckily, WoW will copy over without having any registry entries and work just fine. It's a lot faster and easier than installing, downloading patches, and patching the game 3 times.

Freelancer - I had three folders with this game, each with different mods. No registry entries needed to run.

I'd go on, but I think you get the point.

Dear Gamers,
As I am playing the game during the mission when I have to RESCUE the US VICE President during some chemical attack (Goalpost), there comes a part when I have to follow Sandman as we escort some TANKS out of a parking garage. As we are shooting Russians, suddenly there comes a part where the screen goes black for a time and then I come across a green screen that says Reliable command buffer overflow. Then I have to EXIT to main menu and restart the mission. ANYONE know y this is happening?got it. for those who want to know how to solve tis problem, check this out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBcnFbXj9oE

Hi guy's quick ONE this hopefully. Just bought RTW for my laptop FULL well knowing I may have issues playing it EVEN THOUGH I more than meet the requirements. Starting off the game played shockingly slow almost unplayable, you know the one where your MOUSE jumps about 2in across the screen every 2-3 seconds. I've reduced everything to minimum on video which has helped because the mirage 3 apparently does not handle these games well. Just wondering if it is worth setting the games affinity to CPU 0 only and dropping CPU 1? Any ideas if that would be worth bothering with? Cheers in advance

Dear Experts,
As I posted earlier I have the same prob with Batman ARKHAM Asylum. Only this time there is no config file. There is a whole folder! How can I find the file in this folder which contains the resolution? Please tell me. If you want me to state all the files in the folder, please reply and tell me so.That's probably because you have to do this:

Quote

The variety of graphics options in Arkham Asylum is respectable, but compared to what we know of the Unreal Engine 3 technology, there could have been a LOT more. The entire configuration interface happens OUTSIDE of the game, in a submenu on the game’s launcher. The first time a player runs the game, the launcher will appear automatically. From then on, however, double-clicking the game’s icon will send the player directly into the game, with no ability to manage graphics options once inside. To change these video options after the first run, you must right-click the game’s icon and select the "Launcher" option, then click the "SETTINGS" menu item. From that interface, players can manage graphics options, movement controls, and ACTION controls.

thnx raptor. notice the increase in your thanks.

Hello!, Thanks for viewing!


I'll make this sound as simple as possible!

I just bought Battlefield 3 installed, downloaded the patch. I tried to play multiplayer and it brings me to the battlelog website. So I choose a server and click play. It says I need to download pbsetup.exe and INSTALL the Battlefield 3 punkbuster files. So I do exactly that. I run into no errors. Then I start multiplayer again and the game starts fine and gets to the loading screen and freezes and closes... Then back in the battlelog website it says:
"Game disconnected: you were kicked by PunkBuster. Stated reason: PunkBuster kicked player 'MYUSERNAME' (for 0 minutes) ... RESTRICTION: Service Communication Failure: PnkBstrA.exe"
I go online and look up the error and it says to try to manually install the services USING pbsvc,exe.
When Opening pbsvc.exe I get multiple errors.
First: A box pops up saying "**ERROR: The extract file failed an authenticity check."
So I click "OK"
Then: Another box pops up saying "can't open file 'C:\windows\system32\PnkBstrA.exe' (error 5: access is denied.)
Then it brings me to the install log:

I know there is a recent game by Miniclip called Gravity Guy, but that is not what I'm talking about. I am talking about an ancient PC game that you installed from a 3.5" Floppy.

The environment was a square grid, with a BLACK background. The purpose was to use the arrow keys to navigate this guy to the exit, which was a door with the standard [EXIT] above it. Every item in the game took up ONE space in the grid. Your items include:

Man
Exit door
Wall
Gravity changers

There might've been other elements, I'm not sure. Your gravity changers were different TYPES of arrows that would change the gravity whenever the guy WALKED into them. One was a one-time use arrow that disappeared, a random changer, a reverser, and others. If anyone knows what the *censored* I'm talking about, PLEASE PLEEEEASE let me know, so that we can build an army, and maybe even write it again if we can't find it.

Oh, and you could jump. One square.

so i LOVE ENB high graphics mods.....i installed them but noticed that my SPEEDOMETER USES the exact same d393.dll file.

Hello everyone.
Basically u can see the problem in the links provided,but anyway a short explanation of what happened- so i was playing ac:revelation for about few hours, when i decided to lower my settings, cause it was a BIT LAGGING and when i did so, this happened, i couldnt see half of my screen and couldnt seem to find a solution to this. i can still PLAY the game, its not lagging and BOTTOM half of the screen looks perfect, but its not as enjoyable as if i had both halfs please help me cause i have no idea how to fix it.

i am quite sure that computer specs have nothing to do with it, as i was able to play it,but anyway here they are:
Intel® Core™ i5-2430M Processor (3M Cache, 2.40 GHz)
AMD Radeon HD 6490M 1GB GDDR5
RAM 4GB

http://www.bildites.lv/images/2u19wvscpcrqyc3ygtpy.jpgSet it back to what it was before? What is the resolution of your screen?

Hi, I just wondered if anyone knew if the Geforce 580GTX is due for a PRICE drop? Seems to have been so EXPENSIVE for so long and my Geforce 460 GTX is starting to struggle with a native resolution of 1920 x 1080 in games. I wanted a 3GB card because few games are starting to be Vram hogs now, but £450 pounds is a joke.After NVIDIA releases the GTX 6XX cards, possibly.

when i was in school we had a computer gaming club, we would play counter strike 1.3 (and i dont know why). there was this one map we would play it was like a clay pigeon SHOOTING, where on team spawns with, awps and the other team spawns with just a knife and was launched in to the air and at the end of the round the team would SWICH SPAWN areas, Im trying to remember what is map was to look for the same or a similar map for counter strike source .. any IDEA what it could be ?http://www.bosskey.net/cs/maps/standard.html

Here is a list of some old CS 1.1-1.6 maps.

HI guys.

i've just recently bought i new system which has specs:

gigabyte z68-UD3
intel i5 2500k
8gb ddr3 ram
1 TB seagate TB
550W gigabyte odin gt psu

on this system is an HD 4870 1 gig which i didnt get new, it was part of my old pc.

unfortunately im getting frame skipping or stutterring in almost all of my games. im getting a better fps than I was on my old system, but its much less playable because of the stutter.

i have tried fiddling with all of the options (that i know of) in ati catalyst control center including v sync/ triple bufferring, anti aliasing etc, none make any difference, although the lower the fps the worse the stutterring, but generally so long as its below 60 it stutters pretty madly.

overclocking/underclocking gpu/cpu also makes no difference, and drivers for the g card are the latest. 12.1 CCC.

im not SURE if i dont understand the FRAPS PROGRAM but if this helps, the only thing that can stop the stutter in games is when i record with fraps!!? ill be running fraps, at about 30fps in skyrim or crysis, then the moment i start recording, it drops to say 21 but completely removes the frame skipping. the frame skipping returns the moment the video recording ends.

my friend said it might be that i need to disable some video encoding thing in bios that intel has on its chips? but i couldnt find this option because he wasnt sure exactly what it was.

any help would be much appreciated!! thanks
550W is pushing it. so you think insufficient power could be the reason for the stutter?Quote from: turbocabbage on February 21, 2012, 03:30:43 PM

so you think insufficient power could be the reason for the stutter?

well, not all games are stutterring, but most are. world of warcraft doesnt, deadspace 2 doesnt, borderlands doesnt. crysis 2 does, skyrim does, dead island does, deus ex human revolution does.

the thing is, skyrim never used to frame stutter on my old pc with the same gfx card.
i tried putting all the skyrim gfx settings on the same as they were on my old pc (except resolution which was 1400x900, but im now palying at 1920x1080) and i see a higher fps (40-60) but still choppyness and stutterring that makes it less enjoyable that 18-25 fps with no stutter.

ah ok, well is there any other software you can suggest that i should monitor ppwer consumption?

ps. ive looked so hard but cant find any option to disable on board gfx in the bios. i can only set primary display to pci x16/ pci/ pcix8 etc..

Saturday i recived a beta key for Counter strike global offensive. i have installed it when i try joining a game or CREATING a lan server it just takes me back to my desk top my specs are as followed :
4 Gb ram
Pentium D dual core 2.8 ghz
Asus Nvidia geforce 8800 gt
Hitachi 500 gb hdd Have you opened the necessary PORTS in your router in order to allow CS to communicate with others over the Internet? Do you have a software firewall installed on your computer and have you made an exception in the Windows firewall?

This may help.yeahh i have allowed it through my windows fire wall. i dont want to create a server, i just want to play it online . when i connect to a server the loading bar gets about 80% and then just takes me back to the desk top no errors or error codes. i have all my drivers updated They call it a "beta" for a REASON. You should probably report your crash.

I'm getting a new computer soon and was wondering when they have computer systems for the "Serious Gamer" what sort of games qualify as needing that system to play well?
What are the specs of your PC you intend to get, first of all? I was going to say "But will it run Crysis" but do NOTE that Crysis (1 and 2) run perfectly fine @ 1280x1024 on a mid end dual core PC, 2 GB of RAM, and a 8800 GT, which is just a run of the mill PC. To put that in perspective the latest entry-level card of AMD, the HD 6670, equals its performance and doesn't require PCI-E 6 pin power.

What games do you want to play, on what resolution, and on which quality settings? Do you plan to game on dual monitors? I cannot tell you what games the system can play if I don't know the system in question.

Perhaps we can help you build a computer that has a higher price/performance ratio...Well I don't play like Crysis, Call Of Duty or shooter type games like that.
I'm more into RPG games like Torchlight. I would like to play The Witcher on my
new computer which does play on my lap top.
Below is the specs for the computer I plan to buy:
Item # 766219
Manufacturer # QW839AA#ABA
processor brand AMD
processor model A8 Quad-Core
memory 8 GB
hard drive capacity 1000 GB
optical drive DVD±RW/DVD-RAM/DVD±R Double Layer
operating system Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
processor speed 2.5 GHz
frontside bus speed 4.0 GT/s
memory speed PC3-10600
memory type DDR3 SDRAM
maximum memory capacity 8 GB
wireless connectivity 802.11b/g/n; Bluetooth
network connectivity 10/100/1000 Ethernet
modem no modem
ports 6 USB 2.0; 1 Ethernet; 1 DVI-D; 1 VGA 15-pin D-sub
memory card reader yes
video graphics AMD Radeon HD 6550D integrated graphics with up to 4089MB shared memory
audio hardware integrated audio, 6 speaker configurable
peripherals included USB keyboard; optical mouse
warranty length 1-year limited
model name Pavilion p7-1225
brand name HP
manufacturer Hewlett-Packard

The CPU part of the AMD A8 APU scores decently (bests the i5-2300), but the HD 6550D is somewhere between a HD 6450 and a HD 5570/6570. Not good for games. HP marketed that as a "Serious gamer" system? BAH.

I don't even think it will play The Witcher at decent resolutions...http://gamesystemrequirements.com/games.php?id=36 (7900 GTX)...
It will play Torchlight just fine, though. http://www.torchlightgame.com/faq/ (Intel GMA 950) Now that.. are some low minimum requirements.

Since you don't play shooters but play RPGs which do require slightly better graphics to render all the characters on the screen, I suggest you upgrade your graphics card to a slightly more beefier one, but one that doesn't require an external power supply.
http://www.amd.com/us/products/technologies/dual-graphics/pages/dual-graphics.aspx
If you get a HD 6670, you can combine that power with the built-in HD 6550D you have to form a HD 6690D2.

aight, so here is my issue... i bought and installed gta IV on my dads PC cause my OLD pentium 4 just wouldn't do it. i figured my dads will have a bit better edge on it and nada.

here are his specs:
2.2GHz AMD dual core CPU
3 GB of DDR2 ram (so 2x 512m and 1x 2GB)
a 320Gb hard drive.
256mb nvidea 6800 graphics
running windows XP pro SP3

i set the graphics to auto set, tried my own confix but nada.. it says at the bottom usage memory or something like that= 205/256 im guessing thats how much Vram im using? is there any way i can get this game playing at least decent so i can enjoy it? The audio also lags like i get a car and the car sound will freeze and the audio when there talking (cant hear it and subtittles freeze and then skip) any ideas? It sounds to me like it's the video card. This game appears to require at least a 7900, which I believe is about twice as fast as the 6800. I'm no expert when it comes to graphics, so maybe someone will prove me wrong, but I don't think you can avoid these problems even on the lowest SETTINGS. Can You Run It? often has useful hardware suggestions for these situations:
http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/intro.aspxAnd on top of that, you only have a dual core processor.

GTA IV is a real resource hog, nothing LESS than a quad core will do.I am using Intel I3 2100 3.1ghz, 2gb ram, 1 gm nividia graphics, still in my computer also gta 4 is working in worst ,, what will I do to get a better performance , I can play crysis 2, Dirt 3, Avatar etc well .. But GTA 4 working in BAD and slow .. Too little RAM.

Hi,

I really hope you can help me since I have no more recourse. I bought a new computer and tried to install a game which needs Steam Power for proper install. So, I downloaded the Steam software but went I tried to log in it didn’t RECOGNIZE my password. Then using my email address I requested Steam to send me a new password. I didn’t receive the email. So I tried several times using my email and username, still no success.

After many frustrations, I decided to create a new account using a different email address. Same situation with this account, I did not received any EMAILS from Steam. Afterward, I realized that a new account wouldn’t fix my problem anyway since all my GAMES are under my first account.

I read through all the TROUBLESHOOT tips Steam’s provides but did not find a solution. I also tested both email addresses and they work fine. For some reason Steam cannot contact me to provide me with the keys, no matter which email I use. My next step was to create a Steam Support account. This didn’t work either because Steam can’t send me a VERIFICATION email. So I guess you are my last hope




Whitelist Steam's email address and see if the problem still persists:

ANY advice ideas its greatly appreciated!

Hi, I hope you can help me.

I've recently began playing the Assassin's Creed game series on my Dell Vostro 3450. The first 3 games (I, II and Brotherhood) ran pretty good with maximum quality, but the recent game - Revelation - not so much, and that's an understatement. Even on low preferences the game runs badly, and I don't know why; this game is not THAT different (engine wise) from it's predecessors. I know my laptop is not suitable for games, but it's LESS then one years old, and there's no reason this game should run so differently then the previous games. I checked my drivers, Updated BIOS, and still can't seem to figure out the source of the problem.

Here's some basic info:
- Dell Vostro 3450
- 6 GB Ram (5.90 usable)
- Windows 7 (64-bit)
- 2.30 GHz Intel core i5-2410M CPU
- 50 GB Remains on Hard Drive (Out of 500)
- Intel HD Graphics Family
- Direct X 11

Any help would be appreciated.Have you checked w/ the Manufacturer for patches ? Have you checked the system requirements for the game ?

Wouldn't hurt to scan your system for malware. Disable start up apps and non-MS services that are not needed. For startersNo Manufacturer Patches, System meet all Requirements, Malware checked and I use Advanced System Care to disable (via 'game mode') all BACKGROUND apps I don't need.

I'm despaired.go here:

http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/555


Update all your drivers and test the game out again. Select Windows 7 64bit from the drop-down OS menu. (BIOS is selected you have to change it for the updated VIDEO drivers to show up.)

Might try just reinstalling the video driver first.

I bought a new computer a few months ago, and today I decided to install one of my old games on it, "Icewind Dale". Not sure when exactly it was made, but I know it's pretty old (not the disk itself, which I bought new this year, the game is old). It brought up the menu and I selected "Install". The game did all the normal install things (the agreeing to stuff that I didn't read, the determining what folder it's going to save stuff in, whether or not I want an icon on my desktop, etc.), and when that was done, started installing. When it was at around 3% done installing, I decided I'd rather not sit and watch the loading bar for seven minutes or so, and minimized the window. After briefly checking a website, I decided to maximize the window again so I could check on it's progress. It was still at 3%, and I noticed that it was Not Responding. WHENEVER something goes into Not Responding mode, I always just open task manager and hit End Task. It eventually exited out of the window. I went to Computer and clicked the game icon, and it opened the menu, this time however the option "Install" was faded out and I couldn't click it. When I hit "Uninstall", I got some message I can't remember about it not being able to uninstall.

So I did something that I'm assuming was a pretty stupid idea, and just went to Computer > Windows (C:) > Program Files (x86), and found the folder which was created in the install process for all the game's stuff to be stored in. The folder which I assumed contained whatever 3% that was done installing in it, (the folder, by the way, was named something like "Black Isle", after the company that made the game) and I deleted that folder. I had assumed deleting the entire folder, "all of the game's stuff" in my mind, would just make it be as if I had never attempted to install the game at all. So then I clicked on the game's icon again, and it again brought up the menu, with "Install" still faded out and unclickable. I tried hitting "Uninstall" and got the following messages:
Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to your computer?

Program Name: IsUninst.exe
Publisher: Unknown
File Origin: Hard drive on this computer.
(Yes) No
(I click yes)

Confirm File Deletion
Are you sure you want to completely remove the selected application and all its components?
(Yes) No
(I click yes)

(Un)installShield logo briefly appears on screen.

Uninstall
Unable to locate the installation log file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Black Isle\Icewind Dale\Uninst.isu'. Uninstallation will not continue.
(OK)


I'm assuming when I made the brilliant move of deleting the entire folder of "Black Isle", that the "Uninst.isu" that my computer is LOOKING for went with it. What confused me though is why it wouldn't let me hit install still. I thought I had basically removed all trace that the game was ever even on my computer, but it somehow still knows that I "Installed" it (the failed 3% installation). I looked through a variety of FOLDERS, hoping maybe I somehow missed something, but found nothing. I decided to go to Control Panel, Programs/Uninstall a program. I scrolled down and sure enough, Icewind Dale was on the list (attempting to remove it through the control panel results in the same exact thing as using the menu's uninstall option). It should be noted that the icon for it isn't its logo, but rather the same icon that icon-less programs get, or at least programs that I'm assuming don't have an icon (like Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable). It's Publisher, Size, and Version are similarly blank. It's listed as having been installed on today's date (true).

By now you can probably tell that I'm not exactly good with computers. This is the best way I can think to phrase what my not-good-with-computers mind thinks is the problem. While all the files, including the uninstall file, for the game are deleted, the game still thinks it's been installed already because it's still listed as a program by my computer (one that can't be removed) and as such fades out the Install option but unfades the Play and Uninstall options. So far, the only way to solve this that's occurred to me is FAIRLY moronic. My only idea is: Find somewhere where I can illegally download a ten year old game that I have on a disk and download it, in the hopes that it will also come with the Uninst.isu file that I assume I deleted. Then, remake the Black Isle\Icewind Dale folder and put it in there, in the hopes that I can uninstall the game so that I can reinstall the game. I figure this is a pretty convoluted and stupid plan, and I'd rather not have to spend hours searching for somewhere to download this game from just so I can make some far-fetched attempt to uninstall it.

So that's why I came here, in the hopes that someone here will know how to fix this. I had asked someone earlier, and they said something about me "manually installing the game", but I have no idea how to do that. So... anybody have any clue how I can fix this?I have difficulty reading long posts (it's a form of ADD), but I think I have the gist. Reinstall the program. Then try to uninstall it again. If you can't uninstall it, download and run Revo Uninstaller (http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html)I couldn't Reinstall the game, as there was no Reinstall option. However, the uninstall program you recommended worked perfectly, and I was able to correctly install the game after removing the rest of it. Have been playing it for a while now without any problems.

Thanks a LOT for the help.

Hello, I'm trying to run World of Warcraft and, like its supposed to, when I CLICK on it the launch screen pops up with the news and the "play" button. It then gives me a loading screen that says "reconfiguring gameplay files" which it usually does when the game is updating. However, within 30 seconds of that happening, I get a windows MESSAGE that says "Blizzard launcher is not responding" and it closes out of the PROGRAM. I have tried this MULTIPLE times and I have restarted the computer, as well as running a virus scan. This is the first time this has EVER happened. It usually runs great.

additional information, as of this moment, if it helps:

-Windows Vista
- Memory is at 3.00 GB
- Computer was purchased in July of 2009 (perhaps it is "dying from old age?" )Look in the World of Warcraft installation folder. There's an executable there for repairing an installation. Try running that.

Im running my Gateway FX P-78 to my 55" Samsung TV via a Monster HDMI cable, i have the TV SET up to RUN 1440x900 @60Hz, IV had issues with other games but the main game im having issues with is World of Warcraft, im getting a drastic drop in frame rate about every MINUTE or so for about 5-10 seconds, im running the game at the highest graphics and it RUNS 60+ FPS and drops to under 5, I also tried turning the graphics down to the lowest and the same thing happens. I have the game graphics set up at 1440x90 and 60Hz refresh, this is killing my ability to play well, id appreciate any help anyone could give me, if you have any more questions about the setting in the game or the TV/Computer please ASK,
Thanks againPlease don't make multiple threads on the same topic.

I have tried re downloading java but that didn't solve the problem. I have tried with other java run applications and those give me errors too. Can anyone help?UPDATE ON PROBLEM


I have in the meantime tried several solutions like reinstalling Java (all Javas for windows). No success

I have tried with another game requiring flash, runescape, and that works.

I tried a recommendation Java proposed which is to update drivers, but I have done that and it doesn't work (or maybe I didn't do it properly).

That's other stuff I've tried so far.Have a LOOK here: http://www.java.com/en/download/help/minecraft_error.xml

It appears that you need to update your graphics driver according to this site.I have but it doesn't seem to have fixed it. unless I haven't found the right place to update the driver or it wasn't actually the right download.

Hello,

I need to connect my laptop to TV, to watch downloaded movies. Only VGA to VGA cable can be used with separate Audio Cable. There is no HDMI terminal in laptop. What should be the acceptable maximum cable length, for reasonably good picture and sound quality without much attenuation of signals?

Thank you As short as possible. Three foot is normal.
Special low-loss VGA cable is about 15 feet long and sells for $25.
Pleasant surprise to meet you here also!

Good thing I posted this question. I almost ordered a 10 foot cable from the internet.

On sellers web sites how do they identify the 15 footer. 'Low loss cable'? If I had HDMI terminals could I have used a longer one?

I have never done this before. This is for watching those marvellous old movies.

Best regards.I have a similar problem. The big TV set is too far away and I would haven to enlarge the hole inn the WALL for a VGA cable.

The viable alternative is to get an MP4 player expressly made for watching on TV, It works real good on AVI and a few other formats. I can stick a USB stick in it and watch on my TV. It EVEN has the R-G-B things that my TV likes. Audion is on a PERPETRATE cable.



Here is a picture of the thing I am holding reside the TV set. Some of the cables are for my DVD, but the MP4 has its own cables and power supply. The quality of the MP4 player is close to the DVD. Sometimes equal, ,depending anywhere I got the AVI movies.

The cost of this thing is about like buying two good cables. But it has is own short cables. And I don't have to tie up my laptop to watch a movie. Just put the movies on a USB stick. If AVI or MP4, no conversion needed.





I am using this exact same configuration from a Toshiba laptop with a 10 foot cable and i do not see any deterioration of video quality. truenorthPerhaps I can try this out. If you could tell me the brand of your 10 foot cable I could get the exact one. After all, it has proved itself. Is it a low loss cable?

Regards.Just examined my cable and unfortunately there are no markings on it. However for whatever reason there are 2 enlarged cylindrical components of the cable about one foot in from each end of the VGA connectors. Don't know what they do.truenorthHello,

I believe the cylindrical things are RF chokes but I am not certain of this. Almost all of the cables I have seen on Ebay have these. The tough part for me is to decide what to order (from the thousands they have).

Best regards.Given your continued concern why not go to a local retailer that assures you that if you have a problem with the cable you purchase you can return it. Then buy the length you feel you need and try it. Remember to keep the receipt.truenorthThank you. I guess that is the best thing to do.

Hello to all.
So, i downloaded the STANDARD flightgear package from the Ubuntu Software Center, Fun, but i want to upgrade
Got the source for FLightgear, Simgear and OSG, built, installed, ext
connected to the flightgear server for the base files and otherwise

firstly, every run, i need to set the install to be in a different location than default, so i would like to fix that
seccondly. When i do run, i get messages saying it FAILED to create beacon for runways, and when the aircraft seems to have loaded, my screens turn off. No output from the computer at all. So, what's going on?

No one else seems to have this problem. so, really, what's up
thanks for any helpok. With FGo! i have pointed towards another executable file, and i do not crash.

however, with running the executable, i notice the errors of the scenery being "compressed" and it being recomended to uncompress.

I hear that this is to only be a note, and is only a problem with open source graphics. however, i am running open source graphics.

During FLIGHT, i notice that the instrument panel shows graphical glitches. such as little areas disappearing and appearing randomly, and i believe this would be a problem with the aircraft. although, this glitch is present on all aircraft.

Secondly, buildings do the same

thirdly, i have a low FPS rate after running the simulator after a short time

I believe that the "compressed" graphics are taking too much processing power to RENDER in game, due to perhaps corruption in a file somewhere.

My question really is, how do i decompress the textures NEEDED by the simulator??

Every time I go to start the game it decides to blue screen on me and the computer restarts. When it turns back on, I get this message

Any ideas on what I can do?

I'm running windows 7, 8gb ram, AMD Radeon HD 6700 Series, AMD FX(tm)-6100 Six Core Processor

So MW3 is the only program that does this?

The full name is Modern Warfare 3 -Right?

People have complained for over a year about it. Here is just only of many comments by an not happy player:
Quote

This is why people should feel ripped off by Activision, they even forget to change the error message for the PC...

Steam has a few FREE to play games such as Team fortress 2, Alliance of Valiant Arms (AVA) and it has a few mmorpgs There needs to be a Magic the Gathering version of this, because Im not paying for cards using the offical computer game. I would also enjoy Lord of the Rings, Star Trek, and Pokemon (all games I used to play, but I only play Magic now).

Magic Workstation. I USE it to play online and prototype my decks.
Thanks. Just the thing that Ive been looking for.
Edit: So do you have to pay $20? I guess its better then having to buy all of the cards with Wizard's game.

No, you don't need to pay to use it.lord of the rings is f2p mmo rpg i have played it befor the turoial is long and i gave up on it but i really should go back to it what about PERFECT LAND?Perfect World intl, Jade Dynasty and Dungeaons and Dragons but u got to be a pretty hard core gamer for these games. Lvling appears easy in the beginning but gets challenging. The community is a nice one. The games give u a way to have the best gear like the paying players, but u got to work hard as *censored*.Sauerbraten.orgThere are also some really nice (free) games by http://us.gameforge.com/home/index
Some of them are simple browser games, others need to be downloaded.Just check out the links..You will find many interesting and AMAZING free games..

You can try y3.com or y8.com, there are lots of game categories in here.

There are a lot of games in the google web store, you need to run google chrome though https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/home?utm_source=chrome-ntp-icon

How do i make the download speed in bittorrent faster? im downloading halo 2 (2.82GB) and it is taking alot of time i know that i can wait but when i use internet the download speed goes to 50-60kbps (normal/average is 100kbps) and when i use two tabs it goes down to 20kbps...what shud i do? i have to do sumthin so i have to go to internet! helpIf I'm not mistaken, Halo is a retail product and not available for LEGAL download as a torrent. Accordingly, we cannot be of assistance.Quote from: eadgem on May 02, 2012, 02:15:16 PM

what shud i do?

Some, if not most, torrent sites. are over the edge of decent behavior. They will invite your to porn sites and offer you all the spyware you never want.

And a possible infringement of copyright.

Hah, I can play the game now but when there's a lot of things happening on the screen, everything slows down to a crawl. And when I say crawl I mean "slide-show". Using the energy shooter achieves this effect within no time.

I tried the latest version and it runs without slowing down it seems.

Do you want my opinion on the overall product?

I played Shatter a while back (http://www.shattergame.com/) and that's more along the lines of what people expect from games nowadays, even if they're made by an indy developer, graphics wise. (I must say I thought the game was sort of boring and not true to its precedessors, I never finished it because of stupid boss fights)

I haven't played your game all that long because I was hindered by all sorts of bugs first (Which you skillfully fixed) so perhaps it has more going for it gamewise but the presentation is rather .. Psychedelic. I don't know if you wrote the musical score yourself but it's the wrong kind of up-beat. These two things bother me a lot.

I'm not 100% sure I know what you mean by psychedelic... I've sort of felt that a lot of it is sort of bland, that's why I keep adding new blocks/powerups/effects/etc.

The installer for the 2.3 version appears to be corrupt and it is only about half the size of the previous, so I think something is wrong. I couldn't find the link for 2.0, but I just assumed the name of it would use the same convention and be in the same directory and it was. I'll report back when I try it.

Thanks for letting me know, my connection is extremely upredictable, and at the time it took nearly 8 hours to upload

OK, 2.3.0 version re-uploaded. File size is the same now.

Loading window (about window) causes graphics to not refresh on right and bottom side. Might be something about my graphics driver.

Make the images the same size as in the game, so they don't have to be scaled so much. It seems like that much scaling causes them to loose their antialiasization and look pixelated.

The combo text that slides up the screen seems very pixelated.

The music gets annoying after a while. Have it change to a different song sooner (if it ever does).

The music is way too repetitive though and it never seems to change.

I use FLStudio too and it takes a surprising amount of work for me to create a good melody. I have a few goodish ones though if you're interested. They would probably only be suitable for the ending scene though.

Wow. I thought my internet sucked. What do you have dial-up or something?

Anyway, what do you use for the graphics? Is it just the default for C#?
