    Thank you Veeg. Will follow up the info on this link. Can't do it until this Friday as I'm away from home and my PC. Keep this open a bit longer just in case please!

    Hi all, I hope this is in the relevant section, so apologies if not! I have a Acer gaming laptop model AN515 and it's a nitro 5 with i7 processor. Acer leave room in the original manufacture to upgrade your laptop for better gaming. So I've opened up the laptop and fitted X2 16gb memory...

    No Desktop Screen

    Hi Bruce and thanks for your reply. I've managed to get to the diagnostic section. It was press escape and not F8. There were options like refresh pc with or without loosing files. I went though to advance and system restore, with only two recent restore points. So I tried one and error. Tried...

    No Desktop Screen

    Hi there. I think that I've done a silly thing, pretending to know what I'm doing. I have a HP Laptop on Windows 8/8.1 64 bit and with Amd Radeon graphics. Not used it for a long time, so I opened it up and all was working great. But I wanted to make sure things like Windows Updates were up to...

    Graphics Card Control Panel

    Thanks Phillpower2 Will take a further look (had a little browse) and then see if it's for me. Couple of questions: 1- If I install the driver, will I be able to roll back or system restore if it fouls things up? 2- Will this give me the Nvidia control panel I'm after? Thanks again though!

    Graphics Card Control Panel

    Hi there PC Help forum and admins. Hope I've posted this in the correct forum? I've recently bought an old but refurbished(private buy) XP gaming machine desktop. Note not going on line to game browse or download. As I have more up to date (x4) laptops for that. So I will transfer anything I...

    Solved Blue Screen with game

    Thanks Phillpower2 Even though it's still in the monitoring and experimental stage, I have tweaked a few things again and got a nice little workaround. So far, from yesterday and 4-6 attempts at starting the exe, I haven't encountered any blue screens. Fingers crossed I may have stopped and...

    Solved Blue Screen with game

    No problem. Thanks a lot mate for your time and help, regarding this issue. I have an idea on a few more options and workarounds, to try live with this issue. Just one more question, before this thread closes. The blue screen probably occurs one out of three attempts. If and when it happens...

    Solved Blue Screen with game

    Hi Phillpower2 Yes since re-installing Vista, from the rescue disc, I have obviously done numerous Windows updates. Maybe one of those is the cause? Regarding security, I believe that my machine and system, may be less secure, as it is on an old Vista OS ? Having said that though, I only use...

    Solved Blue Screen with game

    Hi Phillpower2 The game is Super Rugby League 2 by Side and Tru Blu It is installed from disc and from 2005. I have two box copies, so I have tried both copies, on install, to eliminate any corrupt files, on either copy. I have installed this game on other laptops, with no such issue...
