Computer locks up on a game site

My computer locks up when my daughter plays Robotox.  I can't even use mouse to exit out.

Might give a try with Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.

  • Looking for help in making my computer good enough to play games

    I bought a computer from Best Buy right after Christmas. It's a HPE-410y. I'm pretty happy with it in terms of speed and ease of use. I'm glad to be finally done with freaking Vista and blue screens of death.
    Anyho, a buddy of mine wants me to play Bad Company 2 with him. I don't know much about the game other than its a shooter. However, I did read in the editoral review that the ATI 5570 my computer came with is weak. Also, 300Watt power supply needs to be upgraded as well? Do you think a graphics card/power supply upgrade is all I need? hmmm
    I have glanced at the graphics cards at Best Buy when I've been up there, but not exactly sure what will work, what is good. Looking for any advice and help on what I should possible buy to get this computer good enough to play games.  I wanna do this maybe the end of next month. My budget is 450 bucks. I don't need to pay to have any upgrades I decide to get installed, my brother can help me do that. I just need help in what to buy.
    Thanks for any feedback.

    Agreed that it's an above average computer. If you still want to do the upgrade:

    Coming right at your budgeted $450.

    I'm NOT an employee of Best Buy, or Geek Squad, though I did work as an Agent for a year 5 years ago. None of my posts are to be taken as the official stance that Best Buy will take on your situation. My advice is just that, advice.
    Unfortunately, that's the bad luck of any electronic, there's going to be bad Apples... wait that's a horrible pun.

  • Sun java script to support games sites

    which javascript do i need to support game sites such as pogo?
    i had sun javascript when i had windows 95, had very few problems.
    about a week ago ,i replaced win 95 with win98, since then , nothing but problems.pogo games especially rely on players to have sun javascript to be able to play the games.
    i know there is conflict between sun and microsoft, but why should we as customers of both to be left in a proverbial limbo?
    we cannot have the games without microsoft, and we cannot play the games witout sun javascript.
    are we just pawns to the computer industry because of greed?
    i do not understand why sun has not responded, when i inquired for the information i asked for, requesting which javascript i need to enjoy the puter games i play.
    should someone respond to this, please do so in terms a newbie can understand, computer language is way too cofusing for someone who was born over 60 years ago, and has only had a computer for about a year.
    confused no end here.

    Why SHOULDN'T the question be posed here on what you say is a JAVA forum? First of all pogo and java each are holdoing one end of the proverbial "stick". It doesn't matter who doesn't talk to who, btoh are at fault because neither wants to go through the trouble to facilitate the other. I myself was a happy pogo camper until Java (JRE) upgraded and at the same time IE8 beta 2 came out and also upgrades were made to IE7 also.
    So why shouldn't a little heat be put on SUN and it's java monster for upgrading BEYOND the capabilities of IE and pogo....and microsoft as a whole.
    Because the problem is POGO not Java.
    If you pump gas at the gas station and the gas is actually water do you expect the car manufacter to fix your car?
    And if they gave you the car for free would you expect them to fix it then?
    By the way if you want to pay Sun to fix your computer I am certain that Sun Sales would be happy to start negotiating a contract.
    bottom line sun...java...and their subsidiaries, as smart as they are.....figuratively made parts for a machine that hasn't been invented yet. That my friends is where the problem lies.
    Fact....older versions of JRE work better with many gaming communities, but the new ones are needed to support the big corporate programming contracts. Try running an older version for games...or even remove JRE from your pc and install the older MS VM instead.
    Then don't upgrade.
    Face it...we in the gaming community are just pee-ons and our complaints don't rate compared with the need to develope platforms which can be sold to the institutions with the deepest pockets.
    SUN/JAVA....you're getting a bad "rep".
    whatch...this post will be quaranteened in a heartbeat!You want to play POGO and because it doesn't work you going to stop programming in Java?
    Do you play games written in other languages? Have you read of the compatibility problems and upgrade problems with them? Do you expect all game programming to stop because every language has a problem with some people?

  • Need help accessing game site since router installed...

    I upgraded to a Linksys WRT54G...however, now when playing on line games on the PC and laptop at the same time..an error message appears stating the compters share the same local networkkkk...not allowing us to play games wn another.
    How can I change this so we are not recognized as being on the same local network so the game site we play on allows us to access?

  • K7D Master-L MS-6501 computer locks up when transferring data to external HD

    I'm not 100% sure the problem is with the motherboard, but I think I've narrowed it down to the point that the MB could be the problem, and so I figured it was worth a shot to see if anyone else had heard of this problem or perhaps had any suggestions as to what it could be...anyway...
    Here's the problem: whenever I try to transfer large data files onto my LaCie 250GB external HD, my computer locks up completely.  No CTRL+ALT+DEL.  No Pass Go (and certainly no $200 :P).  The connection interface is USB 2.0, to which I use the USB 2.0 controller card that came with my MB.  When I connected the HD to my laptop (Dell Inspiron 5150, I think), it transferred the files flawlessly.  Also, when I connected the drive to my roommate's desktop (another homemade system, though much beefier), it also read from/wrote to the HD without a hitch.  I even tried connecting the HD to my laptop, and (since my desktop & laptop are on the same network) mapped the HD onto my desktop as a network drive.  Then I transferred 24GB+ of data w/o any lock ups or problems whatsoever.  However, when I reconnected the HD back to my desktop and tried transferring a little over 500MB worth of files, it locked up after getting about 75% through.  I even tried disconnecting all of USB devices but the HD (and my mouse) and it still locked up after getting so far w/ the transfer.
    The issue doesn't seem to be a data-throughput issue, b/c it transferred just fine when the HD was mapped as a network drive, and the drive works flawlessly on other computers, so I don't think the problem is in the drive itself (or the cable).  The only time there is an issue is when the HD is connected to my desktop via any USB port (I've tried both the on-board ports as well as the controller card ports).  Have any of you guys (or gals) ever heard of such an issue?  I hesitate to say it's the ports themselves b/c I've got about 8+ USB devices connected to my computer at any given time, and none of them have any issues communicating back and forth (nor have they ever locked up my machine like it's doing now).  A couple of friends have suggested that it might be a driver or BIOS issue, but I can't seem to find any USB driver updates for my MB model (I have only the ones on the disc that came w/ my MB) and the MSI website warns not to flash the BIOS if everything is running ok with your computer (which it is, minus this issue).  My BIOS version is 1.6 (probably should've put that w/ my signature :P)
    I hope this is enough info to go on.  Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks for your time!

    To my knowledge, both of the other systems it was tested on had SP1 installed (I know that's the case on my laptop).
    I dunno if it would make a difference, but my laptop has WinXP Home, whereas my desktop has Pro installed.

  • Computer Locking Up at Random Issue

    I am having an issue with the computer locking up when the side panel is in place and I am doing windows updates where its constantly processing and lots of hard drive activity. I am kind of thinking that its something to do with possibly the processor overheating but I am not for sure and would like to ask for advice here from others who have more experience with that this might be able to point me in the right direction.
    I have an MS 6590 Ver 1 main board, with an AMD Athlon 2500+ processor. The hard drive is brand spankin new just bought it today April 2nd (WD 160GB). I have a dual fan power supply (Antec 350 watt) and a fan in the front, a fan in the rear, and one on the processor.
    I have removed the side panel and am going to leave it off for a while to see if that stops the lock ups, if so then i guess i can assume that overheating is what is causing this, and then i just need to find out what is overheating.
    What can I do to try and trouble shoot whats causing the lockups? Anyone have any further advice?
    Thanks
    Doug

  • My computer locked-up, and when rebooted, my itunes library was gone, replaced with a brand new library.  Fortunately, my 450 GB iTunes library is still on the computer.  Question is how do restore my original library without having to reload folders? Tks

    Help!  My computer locked-up and had to be rebooted.  However, when I restarted it and hooked up my iPod, I noticed my existing iTunes library (all 450 GB of it) was GONE and was replaced by a brand new library.  Fortunately my old, 450 GB library is still on my hard drive under iTunes in Windows Explorer.  How or why could this have happened, and most importantly how can I restore my old libary without having to manually import allow of my music and hundreds of Podcasts and 16000+ podcast files?
    Thanks for any help....

    What you're describing is the expected behaviour.  I believe though that is also is the easiest way to have all the contents available to both of you at all times.  If you have a spacious hard drive you should probably allow this to happen as anything else will be harder to manage.
    My suggestion would be the following if you want to try something different.
    Store all your music at a location that is accessible by both of you — an example would be to use your Public Folder as the locations where iTunes will go and look for all the media files—.  Your wife does have access to it.
    In the Finder you will need to move the folder name iTunes Music to the location in your Public Folder (see above).  Once that's done, you and your wife will have to go into the iTunes Preferences > Advance Preferences and un-check Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library.  From this point on, you can continue to use iTunes as usual.  You'll need to tell your wife what has been newly downloaded/imported into your iTunes so she can manually go look for those items in that Public Folder iTunes of yours and import them into her iTunes.  She will not duplicate by doing that, but, like I say this is an all-manual work.
    She can do the same, so you have access to contents she imported herself.  One more downside of this is that both usernames have to be active in your iMac.  If yours isn't, she won't be able to access any item (song, book, app) located in your Public Folder's iTunes.
    I'm sure there's a way, if you have an router with external hard drive conectivity, for both of you to be able to access —independently— the iTunes Media at all times but I was just reading at another post that doing so can further complicate things.
    Hope this helps.  Please let me know what you think or decide to do.

    I'm having problems upgrading from 10.6.8 to Yosemite. My computer locks up after the download and installation process. Does anyone know how I can overcome this problem?

    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

    Yeah, and it didn't work.
    I had problems when I updated to iOS 5 (lost all my apps - a few of my friends had the same problem) and when there was an update to iOS 4 (camera wouldn't work). The iOS 5 issue was sorted by backup (but I lost the app data) but for the iOS 4 issue I had to return my iPod to get a new one.

  • I am recording from my computer screen with an elgato game capture card.  Why is the video blurry when I import it to Premiere elements?

    I am recording my computer screen with an elgato game capture card.  When I play the unedited footage on my own computer, it is clear and crisp.  When I import the footage into premiere elements, it becomes blurry.  It becomes even blurrier when I save the edited video.  How do I keep the video clear?  How do I fix it?

    Betharoo
    Thanks for the reply.
    Please check out John T. Smith's information.
    At this point, if you could tell us the file extension of the file involved, that would give us a start while you are
    gathering the rest of the details.
    You can easily get some information for us from Properties for your imported video that is blurry in the Editor.
    1. Click on Expert to get into the Expert workspace of Premiere Elements 13
    2. If you have not already, import your file into the program using Add Media/Files & Folder/Project Assets.
    3. Open Project Assets to see a thumbnail for the video that you just imported. Right click that thumbnail,
    and select and click on Properties from the menu that opens.
    4. Tell us what is listed there is Properties - it should look something like this one which is specific for one of my wmv files.
    Your information will be specific to the file that you right clicked in your Project Assets.
    From what you have written so far, yours should show
    Image Size 1920 x 1080
    Frame Rate either 59.94 or 60
    Also, please go to Edit Menu/Project Settings/General, and tell us what you see for
    Editing Mode
    Timebase
    Frame Size
    Pixel Aspect Ratio
    even if the fields look grayed out.
    Your project settings may be contributing your Edit area previewing problems.
    All of the above will keep us moving forward in the troubleshooting.
    Thanks.
