In Windows 7, every time I quit playing I keep having to answer the "Do you want to save this game" question in both Freecell and Hearts. I was wondering if there is a way to turn off the confirmations like we used to be able to do in Windows XP? The is nothing in the Options Menu relating to this.

If I copy-paste some folders and files, there are just sooo many confirmation-dialogs for overwriting files and folders. This makes me nuts as I have to do loads of this each day.In the glorious days of XP there was just the simple:"do you want to overwrite this?"[yes] [no]So with only one click for confirmation. Now it is often 6 click for exactly the same task. #fail..How to get windows 7 to use a single confirmation dialog for this?

(So error message that it can only sit on the next card above). I see no reference to errors/troubleshooting under Freecell. And I see no facility for uninstall (and leter reinstall) Freecell. I have Windows 7 .

View 3 Replies View RelatedUnder Windows XP, after winning a Freecell game, you coul check the "select game" box in the window askng if you want to "Play Again?" Now, under Windows 7, it just asks "Play Again?" and opens a random game. If you click "Select Game" on the drop down menu, it warns this will count as a loss in the statistics. I don't care that much about the statistics, but I am playing sequential games (I am now on 21210), so I [b][i]always want to select the game number.

View 12 Replies View RelatedI play free cell a lot. Recently the cards quit "disappearing when the game is successfully completed although the window showing wins/losses and asking if I want toplay again appears. It seems to run faster bu tthis happened after one of two things were done close together.
(1) there were several critical updates.
(2) I ran CCleaner register cleaner.
I am guessing a .dll is missing.I have gone through the procedure of checking and unchecking the box in Windows 7 Features nothing changes except I now have an empty Icon on the deskto but the game plays the same as above described.Also about the same time as some of the critical update,s my opening window has a thumbprint it did not have before. before all of this mess my start up went to straight from opening Windows splash to desktop as I am the only uses and thus also administrator.
I was very comfortable with the old FreeCell. Please, how do I reinstall it on my new Mac? I agree to the terms.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI only get BSODs when exiting any game with decent graphics after playing for about an hour. If i play these games in windowed mode i dont seem to have that problem..When playing Battlefield 3 yesterday the game seemed to froze-up every 5mins and would only unfreeze if i alt tabbed and hit CTRL+ALT+DEL and then open the task manager (had the same problem in other FPS).My configuration, i have the latest drivers installed and i tried all kinds of older drivers for my VGA:

Nvidia GTX 460

- ran furmark for 15min, GPU at 61 degrees max
- ran both prime95 and furmark for 10mins, no problems
The windows have been reinstalled about 5 months ago, i had the same problems before that also.
I've always (10 years or so?) used PowerDesk in place of Windows Explorer (although I never choose the *replace* WE option when installing). Since installing it on Win 7, I've noticed some strange behaviour. After launching it from the start menu all is well, and when I have finished with it I close it, and its window vanishes. But if I try and run it again, it appears that nothing happens - no PD window, nothing. Try running again, again no window. Then bring up task manager an lo, there are three PDexplo.exe processes - the original that I thought I had quit, plus two from my subsequent attempts to run a new instance. I can delete one of the processes, then a second one, following which a PD window springs to life, and I can use it as normal. Again, if I exit PD the window vanishes but the process remains in task manager. I've tried running it in a couple of different compatability modes, but it makes no difference. I've just confirmed that on my regular win2k system the process is removed immediately after I exit the GUI.

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy system is a Toshiba laptop p850-05[CODE]Ever since i bought this laptop, it has been running desktop applications very fine for countless hours, but when it comes to gaming, I have had all sorts of troubles, the main problem being :1. The whole system freezes (video lock-up, nothing to do but hold power button for a hard reset) shortly after exiting games that I have played for 30mins to 2-3 hours. I can use the desktop for 0-45 seconds before the freeze happens. It mostly happens after exiting games like Diablo3 or Heroes VI.2. In other cases, in games like Skyrim or Max Payne 3, the freeze happens in-game. Max Payne freezes during the cutscenes (which often the video becomes out of sync with the audio). Skyrim freezes have been random. I initially suspected GPU overheating, but after running a series of tests like a video card stress test that ran without a freeze for hours, playing the games with the lowest gfx settings, I've concluded that overheating wasn't causing the freezes.
All my video card drivers are up to date as well as the bios.I contacted Toshiba tech support to be answered by, excuse my lack of respect here, total idiots who didn't know the first thing about computers (ie, claiming a GeForce 7800 was so much better than the GeForce GT 630M just because of the higher number). Aslo their ultimate conclusion (after speaking to senior tech support) was that I shouldn't be playing those games on my pc because it is not good enough!
This is what everything was like before this happened..
C drive on SATA0
Steam drive on SATA1
Now, I got a new hard drive, so
C is on SATA0
New drive is on SATA1
Steam drive is on SATA2
Now, it seems that whenever I close a steam game, explorer.exe will crash. this is EVERY time. I can do it on demand, start a game, close the game.
I really have no idea what to do. I've tried uninstalling both drives and rebooting, letting Windows redetect them to no avail.
Recently I start having random DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE BSODs generally after exiting Star Trek Online. I used to have a TDR 0x116 BSOD error which I solved by reverting to a previous version of my GPU driver and deactivating the TDR from registry.The new 0x9F error happens randomly, yet not while playing the game, generally few minutes after exiting the game. Any idea which driver/program can be the source for this error.

I installed Windows 7 this week on my notebook Dell XPS M1710.
Everything is good working, except one thing :
When I close the screen, so the notebook go hibernating, and then I reopen it, the notebook leave the hibernating mode, and here the screen goes dark, the brightness is very low, despite the brightness setting is at max. The only solution is to reboot the notebook.
So now I can't use hibernating mode, I have to always shutdown the notebook.
Does anybody have the same problem ?
I'm running Windows 7 on an HP Pavilion dv4 with 4 gig of memory and after I have been on Virtual Box running XP for a while and I exit XP and Virtual Box my Win 7 keyboard is all messed up. By that I mean that pressing a key may bring a menu screen up. Or another key will cause the current screen to be iconed down or closed. It's pretty consistantly the same keys performing the same action every time it happens. It's like it invokes an alternate keyboard map that is the same every time it happens.I also found this happening with VMWare Server2 running XP and the keys are mapped the same way.
View 4 Replies View Relatedi have this annoying problem with flash player that i never used to have back on flash 9 something, Seems any build of flash from 10.1 to 10.3 all keep exiting full screen on there own when watching video.
It happens on 2 computers of mine, both running windows 7 and both home built with similar but different specs, The same is they both have Ati Radeon HD series cards although different generations, they both have amd cpu's one is a phenom II x4 @ 3ghz and the other is a athlon x2 5000x @ 2.6ghz, They are both running 64bit windows 7 ultimate, 1 is on a gigabyte board the athlon and the other is on a biostar board the phenom II, The gigabyte board is actually newer and can support 6core chips my biostar can't and has biggest cpu i can drop in it, the gigabyte pc will be getting upgraded to a 6 core chip most likely when i get the cash
I am running the 64-bit version of Windows 7 along with IE9. I have found that a problem exists for both the 32-bit as well as the 64-bit version of IE9. I find that for the 32-bit IE9 there are 2 "iexplore.exe *32" files running when the program is started. With the 64-bit version of IE9 there are 2 "iexplore.exe" files running but that's not the problem.
I have found that when I have checked the box "Delete browser history on exit" (Tools - Internet Options - General tab - Browsing History) this sets off the problem on IE9 exit. Both of the iexplore.exe disappear but 2 new files rundll32.exe (*32 for the 32 bit version) appear. These 2 new files run for several minutes at 100% cpu and each will have up to 680Mb of memory. If I go back and uncheck the "Delete browser history on exit" these files, rundll32.exe do not appear and the problem goes away.
It appears the problem is with "Delete browser history on exit" function. I've been using IE9 since it came out and never had my computer, which is now freezing while the rundll32.exe are running, happen before. Ran Malwarerbyts, Super anti-spyware, Spybot, MS Essentials, Advanced system care (Just the Malware finder), Argente utilities (Just the Malware finder), System Mechanic (Just the Malware finder) in safe mode and nothing. I also am not using registry cleaners.
I play a lot of games that are considered kinda mainstreamed and the hardware requirements are kinda low. But the problem I am having is that after I exit the game the CPU utilization remains high and I don't know why? It leaves the PC running sluggish and I'd have to restart PC if I want to start a new game. The only thing I would have running in the background is WINAMP.
My system specs:
C2Dou e6550 2.33 OCed 2.5
DDR2 4GB
4870 512GDDR5 @ 1920x1200res
Windows 7 64bit home premium is on a SSD32GB
and a 300GBmaxter for storage
And the games I experience a hang after exiting are:
CnC3 Tiberium Wars
League of Legends
Global Agenda
COD Black OPS
COD MW2
And a side note I have the "Paging File" disabled and same thing goes for the "back up feature", the automatic defrag setting is also unchecked.
i recently got a new hard drive in which the guy had to rewrite a partition on it. i updated all the drivers and for some reason i cannot install these two microsoft updates everytime i try it fails, and doesnt tell me why it fails, and when the hard drive and windows 7 was installed and it was working, all the memory on the local disk drive was taken up except for 200mb which is strange because it only had the OS installed and any windows essiantal programs.
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy computer has been experiencing crashes daily for a while now, and I strongly suspect my power supply is the problem, but I do not have very much experience with this problem. My computer will just crash without any warning whatsoever when I play TF2, Nexuiz, or any other game for that matter. I could be playing for anywhere from 20 minutes to 3 hours and get a crash at any point in between. Who Crashed and BlueScreenView point out ntoskrnl.exe more than any other driver, but occasionally it will point out my graphics driver, lan driver, or directx itself.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a weird issue where my screen will get all light colored and just really crappy quality - blurry. I'm not sure if it is Windows, Nvidia, the HDMI cable, my monitor or what. I apologize if this is the wrong forum.
This usually happens coming out of full screen from Windows Media Center, but sometimes after a reboot.
I can turn off my tv (Sony Bravia - 52" LCD - KDL-52W4100) and turn it back on then the problem is fixed. Sometimes I can go full screen and back out again and that will fix it.
I have HDMI connection - Windows 7100 - I have the latst Nvidia drivers 186.. - I have tried a different HDMI cable also.
