My brother has his eye on a game that comes out in November, which he plans on installing onto his desktop, which is Windows XP. His problem is that he also wants to install it on his laptop which is Windows 7, but his disc drive is broken. Is there a way to copy the program files over from the desktop to the laptop without going down the route of replacing the broken disc drive
View 5 RepliesI have a desktop using Windows Vista and a laptop using Windows 7. Is there a simple (or not too difficult) way to transfer photos from one computer to the other. I've found myself using my laptop more than I thought I would and now need the photos stored there on my desktop.

Laptop computer was recently destroyed, however the hard drive presumably still works. I was wondering what would be the best way to get this information off the hard drive and onto my new laptop. It is a Western Digital 500gb SATA drive with Windows 7 + all my data on it.

I've noticed on newer games that when I tap the "Windows" key on my keyboard, I can't get back to my Desktop. This is a bit of an irksome problem for me... I'd like to monitor some things in my Task Manager from time to time and can't do this without being able to get that Windows key to function properly (don't want to buy FRAPS etc because I don't mind exiting the game keeping it running to do it the good old fashioned way for free, when I can get it to work like that). I've tried Ctrl+Alt+Del, pulled up Task Manager, but when I'm done and it does launch that in my Desktop, I then am unable to get these games to launch back up when I'm done checking CPU/RAM and temperatures (so far this is going on with Fallout 3 and Skyrim; Sims 3 and Oblivion etc. are unaffected) how I can use my Notebook's screen to look at other things online and etc. while gaming on my external 23" Monitor. I haven't quite worked that out yet and I'd really like to stop using my old Desktop to do that (it's slow, dying and redundant in addition to a waste of electricity to be doing that).
View 8 Replies View RelatedI've lately had this weird issue while im playing games, it just drops to desktop every 5 minutes, and if i press any letters on my keyboard it makes a sound as if a program denies it (don't really know how too explain it better, hopefully you understand). There is no error or such, i can just click again on the game icon, but it will dropp out after 5 minutes.This happens also while i surf the internett and do other stuff. The drops dont always occure, but when they do, they occure every 5 minutes, almost precisely, as if it was scheduled or something.Ive tried reinstalling graphic card, sound drivers, and installing older versions with no luck. I've tried closing almost all active programs (including desktop manager and sidebar), without any luck.It seems as i have some kind of invisible program
View 3 Replies View RelatedThis is a recently developed problem, as I've been playing Saints row the third and skyrim the game crashes after about 30 min. Not every time though. like 1 out of 3 times I play. The game will be working great (no lag or drop in frame rate) and it just up and closes to the desktop. No crash report or any other form of notification of what happened. I looked at the event viewer and I wasn't sure where to look in it but I looked in windows logs->applications and I found this error around the time of one of the crashes:Event filter with query "SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent WITHIN 60 WHERE TargetInstance ISA Win32_Processor" AND TargetInstance.LoadPercentage > 99" could not be reactivated in namespace "//./root/CIMV2" because of error 0x80041003. Events cannot be delivered through this filter until the problem is corrected.I'm new to this forum but I entered all of my pc info on my profile so I think you would be able to view it there.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAll games I've played recently (both single and multiplayer, whether through Steam, Origin, or standalone, internal or external drive) occasionally freeze up and then recover. It usually lasts only a couple of seconds. Example games:Dragon Age II (singleplayer, through Origin, external drive) League of Legends (multiplayer, internal drive) Raiderz (multiplayer, internal drive) Jade Empire (singleplayer, through Steam, external drive) Skyrim (singleplayer, through Steam, external drive) Dark Souls (multiplayer, through Steam, external drive) I haven't checked every single game on my system, I can try others if that will help diagnose the problem.
My systemMac Pro 2009, dual booting Windows 7 Home Premium, SP1, 64-bit OS with Boot Camp. Problem is with Windows 7 boot. 2 Quad Core Intel Xeon CPU - W3540 @ 2.93.GHz 3.06GHz 8 GB RAM ATI Radeon HD 5870 Some games are on an external drive. There does not seem to be a difference in how often games on internal vs external hang. Things I have already triedEverything on the troubleshooting thread except relating to DirectX 11 (these games aren't using it on my current settings) Everything on this "games hang briefly but periodically" thread Alt-Tab to Resource Monitor after a hang. No strong correlations found. Some spikes in Queue Length, some in CPU, nothing I can identify as obviously related. Reinstalling Windows & games with a fresh Boot Camp partition (When all else fails... no good though.) Upgrading my graphics card (I wanted to do this anyway, hoped it would help... games are a lot prettier, but no dice on the hanging problem) Order of events:No problem for ~3 years of use Installed Dragon Age II, needed to update graphics driver for it to run. At the time I had NVIDIA GeForce GT 120. I did a fresh driver install, initially I thought this might be the reason because it could have cleared out something from Boot Camp's special drivers. DA2 running, is first game to show hanging problem. Mainly happens at start of battle. Noticed next in League of Legends.First attempt at troubleshooting. Updated all drivers, Windows 7 updates, etc. Re-installed Windows in a clean Boot Camp partition, since (as noted) I thought I might have messed up some of BC's drivers. No improvement. Got tired of my overall crappy graphics and got a new graphics card, hoping it would also fix the hang problem. New card: ATI Radeon HD 5870. Games are super pretty! Still hang. Followed all of troubleshooting and hanging thread advice, minus DirectX 11 settings (since not using 11--even DA2 is set to 10). Still no improvement. I know my way around a computer but I'm no expert, and this is over my head. My only remaining theory is that it's something about running on Boot Camp--but it was fine for 3 years.
WoW and recently TF2 have started freezing (sound freezes as well). Sometimes the computer freezes completely and sometimes the game closes but it continues to appear in task manager. I can't close it using "end task" and when I try to restart my computer/switch it off it does not switch of completely and I have to hold the button.I am having trouble understanding why this happens. Here are some conclusions I have come to:-I am using a cooling pad and my computer is completely cold, the fan isn't running at full speed so it shouldn't be from overheating.-I have latest drivers-I have no extra program running while playing-Only WoW and TF2 cras

View 5 Replies View RelatedFor some odd reason, whenever I play any game, it starts off crisp smooth and then maybe 10-20 minutes later it goes completely laggy and then about 20 minutes later, it goes back to smooth gameplay. Some instances of this is when I play Star Wars Battlefront 2, Battlefield 2, ArmA II, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. I have tried to set the game's priority to High but it does very little improvment and I have tried Game Booster aswell.

The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher.
I have dos box and it's still not working!! I would of assumed windows 7 would of had a program installed that would automatically allow you to play these games? What do i need to do? I'm not always keen or too confident at changing my computers settings is there a laymans guide at all?
well my laptop was performing fine until a few weeks ago it started to freeze up during some games which it didnt before. I play games a lot so i thought my laptop had lost it efficiency but there are other games where everything is smooth.
I have done the "dxdiag","updating drivers", "windows memory diagnostics","windows update" and so on but everything seems fine. I have been going through enough posts so i think my system specifications is required.
My laptop is Sony Vaio C series
4 GB RAM
AMD Radeon HD 6630M
i5-2410M CPU @ 2.30 GHz
windows 7 home premium 64 bit
directx 11
Currently the programs/games that lags are vlc player(movies dont run as smooth as it used to), World of Warcraft, Counter Strike (offline or online). However games that requires higher graphics like Assasin's creed works just fine.
