Error 132 0x85100084 and 0x0086C597 by AmyJean
I am getting these messages mostly on my vista laptop, but also occasionally on my XP desktop while trying to startup and/or play World of Warcraft. Haven't been able to figure out how to stop errors. Usually have to run diagnostics then restart and its ok again for a while. Getting VERY annoying, can anyone give me any insight?

Frequent CRC errors by batgaz
I've been getting frequent CRC errors when installing games on my PC, particularly games or programmes with large files. The PC is brand new and I initially thought that this must be a hardware issue. However, I sent my PC back to the manufacturer, they tested it thoroughly and found no problems at all with any of the hardware. This has led me to conclude that this must be a software...

Save game file error by Amandar097
This started a couple days ago. My computer did not lock up or lose power, so I'm not sure why it's happening. Anyway, whenever I reboot my computer both FreeCell and Spider Solitaire automatically open with the same error message on both games that reads, "Save Game File Error. The save game file was either missing or invalid. If the file exists it will be deleted. A new game will...

Love Mahjong Titans But Question? by Svandisel
Other games I have played you could make setting change that made the layout one that could be solved. It seems this one does not? How odd is that I don't enjoy a game that you can only solve rarely. Out of 25 games I have only solved 2. Why won't Microsoft get a update to this.

1920x1080 Gaming (Remove Black Frame) by panais[_9_]
Tested and works with ATI RADEON If you get a black frame around your screen when setting a game in resolution 1920X1080p just follow these simple steps... Open Catalyst Control Center, click on Basic-"Setup My Display Configuration"-Go-Set Desktop Area to 1920x1080-Finish-Yes. After this when you start the game in 1080p you don't get the black frame.

tinker shows a white screen by james
I just downloaded tinker via windows update. It shows a white screen in most area, other than text. E.g. selecting file-exit shows "do you really want to exit?" on a white background. There is no yes or no button to click on. However, if I click below the text somewhere the program does exit. Does this have something to do with video driver? The other games (texas poker, solitaire, free...

enable direct3d acceleration by doubtingThomas
Hi everybody. I recently discovered that my direct3D acceleration is listed as "not available" when I look at it in dxdiag. This has caused me not to be able to play many games which require it. I believe I caused this myself, while trying to get an old game called Worms:Armageddon to work on my laptop. I am not sure what I did in order to disable it, but it may have involved a 3rd party...
