Games don't run?

I have this ongoing problem where no games seem to run. It's weird - anything but modern 3d games runs great.
Usually I'll open a game, it may or may not show the menus, then crashes.
Any thoughts? Is there something common that might be corrupted?

It's mostly demos...some older, some newer.
Examples:
Halo
Rally Shift
Wingnuts 2
Doom 3
Simcity 3
Sometimes I'll get one of those errors that asks me to reload the program too if I'd like.

  • After IOS8 update my iPad runs slow, most games don't work, and touch screen isn't as responsive.

    I installed IOS8 on my iPad2 now my iPad runs slower than before.  Most games do not run. The touch
    screen doesn't seem to be as sensitive.  I have done all off/on and resets: no luck! Anyone else having similar problems?
    very frustrating. Wish I could back up!

    (A) Try reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.
    (B) Try reset all settings
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
    Note: Data will not be affected but settings for Wi-Fi, FaceTime, Message, Home Sharing will be reset

  • GPO don't run specified windows applications doesn't work to in win 8.1. any ideas why?

    GPO "don't run specified windows applications" doesn't work to in win 8.1. any ideas why?  it is enabled and list of progs is entered however I can still run all progs on list.  This is a local machine not on a domain.  I must
    have this work to disable games, IE, MSpaint, etc.  Computer has been restarted since enabling the GPO and also have enforced the GPO via CMD prompt.  worked fine on windows 8 and 7.

    Any success ?

  • Recently purchased Mountain Lion and now 40% of my Big Fish games don't work, any ideas?

    Recently purchased Mountain Lion and now several of my Big Fish games don't work, any ideas?
    Mystery Case Files Return to Ravenhurst and MCF 13th Skull to name a couple
    I have contacted Big Fish games and tried all the suggestion still to no avail.....

    If you "recently purchased Mavericks" without upgraded your hardware (MBP), then your MBP is still capable of running whichever flavor of OS X that you previously were able to run these 40% of Big Fish games.
    In that case, partition your hard drive or add an external drive and install that flavor of OS X (Snow Leopard or Lion) there and "dual-boot" your MBP into the alternative OS X when you want to play those games using Startup Manager in the System Preferences before Restart.

  • Director game flickers and runs slowly in browsers

    Hi All,
    I'm trying to get some games I made five years back to run, and for some reason they are flickering and running very slowly. This happens whether the browser is Firefox 7, IE 8, or Google Chrome. These games used to run fine. I've done a few searches, and nothing sounds relevant. Anyone seen this? Check out the game at http://www.3dcognition.com/games/na1.html.

    Thanks for the idea, Mike. I gave it a try;
    First, there is no apparent process hog on my system; It's mostly system idle until I launch a browser. I've also looked at my processes with Process Explorer and nothing jumps out as unusual (to my untrained eyes). Though I agree with your suspicion, it sure feels like something is hogging the CPU, however it must be hidden somehow. I doubt if it is in Firefox or the other browsers, since I have reinstalled Firefox and Opera and still get the problem.
    My virus checker, zonealarm, found two viruses, and comodo found six. I also found a few suspicious processes. But after removing the viruses and killing the suspicious processes, the shockwave (slow, flickering) problem persists.
    So I am stumped for the meantime.I would have thought that this would be a better-known issue, I don't like blazing this kind of trail.
    If anyone has any wild ideas, let me know.

  • I am trying to edit my music list and then sync it to my iPhone 5 so I don't run out of storage space. However, I see the check marks on the iTunes library but am unable to uncheck them? How do I manually edit what will be synced to my phone?

    I am trying to edit my music list and then sync it to my iPhone 5 so I don't run out of storage space. However, I see the check marks on the iTunes library but am unable to uncheck them? How do I manually edit what will be synced to my phone? (the check marks are not bolded, does this mean they are not in my library but only on my phone?)

    You uncheck the music in your iTunes library on your computer and along with sync only checked songs and videos selected under the Summary selection for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, only checked songs in your iTunes library will be transferred to your iPhone or remain on your iPhone and the unchecked songs in your iTunes library that are currently on your iPhone will be removed when syncing.
    Or make use of iTunes playlists and choose selected playlists, albums, artists under the Music selection for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and select the playlists below that you want transferred to your iPhone.

  • TS1702 I downloaded from the Apps.store a game named 'Ninja Run'. When I was playing this game, I got out and then received a message,'"Do you want to buy 5 revivals for Rs.170/-?". When I clicked the "Buy"

    I downloaded from the Apps.store a game named,"Ninja Run". When I was plkaying the game, I got out and a message appeared, asking me whether I would like to buy 5 revivals for Rs.170/-. When I hit the,"Buy"button, I was asked to confirm my Credit card details. I confirmed it and was asked to enter the Security Code. When I did so,, a message appeared telling me that the Security Code was invalid and the purchase could not be completed. When I continued the game and got out again, the message appeared again asking me whether I wanted to buy. Thinking that my purchase was not completed, I again hit the,"Buy" button. Nothing happened. I continued the game and when I got out, I received the same message and obliged accordingly. This went on for three or more times. By this time,however I got confused and quit the game. All these things happened on 6th September 2013. The next day,I was shocked to see 5 receipts from the Apple Apps.store in the In Box of my email account,each for Rs.170/-
    totalling Rs850/. Worse still, when I played the game the next day and got out and asked for a revival, would you believe it, I was again asked whether I would like to buy 5 revivals for Rs.170/-.
    Thus,I ended up buying a game for Rs.850/- while the actual price is only Rs.170/-,and not even able to play the full game.
    Could anyone please tell me whether I can get a refund of Rs.680/-,the extra amount I  paid for this game.
    I will be much thankful to anyone who can guide me and help me claim the refund. Thank everyone.

  • Applets which don't run

    Hello,
    I have any applets which run with Appletviewer or the development tool "Forte for Java" but they don't run on the web browser whereas I have others applets (with almost the same code) which run in the both cases.
    In fact, on the web browser, you can see the static components (buttons, choices...) but these ones have no effects.
    And, the access to the database seems not to run.
    I think it's an problem which doesn't come from the code but I don't know what.
    Can you help me ?
    Thank you.

    Browsers have in-built support for JDK 1.1 If you are using packages not suported by JDK1.1 for example Swing, the applets won't work without downloading a plugin. The first thing you should do is check if you are using packages not suported by the JDK1.1 Also check if your browser does use a plugin.
    You can download the plugin from this site:
    http://java.sun.com/getjava/download.html
    When you are downloading the plugin you can specify that it is used by your browser by default. This means that you do not have to modify your HTML file.
    The following is relevant if you intend to put your applet up on the web:
    The user may not have their browser set up to automatically use a plugin. This means that you may need to convert your HTML file so that the plugin is used to run the applet and it works corrrectly for different browsers. Also if the user does not have the correct plugin your web page prompts them to download it.
    This site explains how the HTML code is modified:
    http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.2/docs/tags.html
    There is a way to do this conversion process automatically - by using the HTMLConverter in the bin directory of your JDK. The following site gives directions on how to use it:
    http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.3/docs/htmlconv_01.html
    If you are putting the applet up on the web maybe you should consider rewriting it so that it only uses packages supported by the JDK1.1 That way the user will automatically be able to view the applet without downloading any plugin and you will not need to convert the HTML file.
    I hope this helps,
    RC

    That is a lot of page outs for just a day and a half of being up.  It is most likely the reason why Mac OS X terminated a lot of its daemons to give more space to what you were doing at the time.  Did you do something in the 32 hours your system was up before the EtreCheck that would account for that high pageout number?  Something that is very VERY Memory Intensive?
    You Activity Monitor Memory display has Safari consuming a lot of RAM 1.6+GB.  That is a bit high.  How may tabs do you have open?  Is it possible you have too many open, or that one of the web sites you are visiting has Javascript that is consuming lots of RAM on behalf of the web site?
    You kernel_task looked about right for 8GB of RAM. Most of that is virtual memory page tables for the apps you are running.  As a point of comparison, I have 16GB and my kernel_task is 1.25GB of RAM.

    What exact behaviors are you seeing when you attempt to open the apps? Do they bounce in the Dock at all, or only bounce once, or do you see any errors or warnings pop up?

  • Java 1.1.5 applets don't run in Netscape 6.1/6.2

    I try to access a website with java-applets.
    With Netscape 4.7x it's no problem. Java-Console says "Java 1.1.5". No java-plugin's installed.
    With IE 5.x and 6 no problem.
    Java Virtual Machine Build 3234 is installad
    Systems NT4.0 and Win2000
    With Netscape 6.1 and 6.2 those applets don't run (there is only a grey-area open where the applet should build up the content). I've seen there are couple of java-plugin's loaded in the Netscape 6 (NPOJI600.dll, NPJava130_01.dll, NPJava130_01a.dll, NPJava130_01b.dll and NPJava130_01c). As an idea I temporarly deleted them in the hope it would use JVM, as I suppose happens in Netscape 4.7x, were no java-plugin's are installed. But unfortunately it doesn't work either. It looks like Netscape 6.x can not refer to those java-components that the Netscape 4.7x uses.
    Can I get somewhere the missing old plugin (1.1.5) or is there another way to make it work?
    My search in java.sun.com told me that there seems to be no java 1.1.5 at all, so how can
    Netscape talk about 1.1.5?
    Thanks for any help....
    Peter
    PS) I have no experience in Java at all.

    Hello,
    If you look at the release notes of Netscape they mention that Netscape 6.x will not run Java codes unless there 1.3.0_01 and above
    Sometime you wonder where they get these ideas, that means that if you have an old applet it won't run with the new browser. I guess they never heard about backward compatibility

  • Self-spawning Movie Clips Don't Run AS2

    Hello,
    I have made a preloader, and to make the bar appear earlier during the loading process, I made every movie clip except the preloader files have "Export in first frame unchecked." Since I did this, my game doesn't run the movie clips anymore. I had enemy units come across the screen randomly, and now nothing appears at all. What will solve this? If you need the .FLA or a screenshot, please let me know.
    MrA615.

    The movie clips still aren't starting at frame 3.
    Here is a screenshot. Am I doing it right? Whoops, when I said Layer, I meant Frame.

    Have you tried resetting your iPad? You may have to restore again if there was a problem.
    Try the reset first.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
