Problem getting my bose soundlink to play blue tooth audio from my laptop.

Hi Sirtuan.

Go to the system panel, there choose "sound" . a list with all available sound devices appear. search for your bose soundlink and make it your "standard device".
had the same prob. with my BT headset and this works for me.

if your bose get disconnected the sound should automatically switch to pc speakers.

Regards
Gue.

Darksiders sound but no video

Hello,
Make sure that your computer passes the minimum system requirements of the game. You can find the system requirements of the game here:

http://gamesystemrequirements.com/games.php?id=1168

If your computer passes all, you should update your video driver. It has something to do with the graphics thing. Media player has nothing to do with darksiders. Each software has it's own system requirements. Media player does not need much from your computer which is a different story when you play darksiders.

Hope this helps.

I would call EA and tell them your code does not work. I would also edit your question so that someone doesn't take your unique code and it it for themselves.

My acer z5600 crashes with multicoloured screen when playing games

Ya it sounds like your video Card is dying, though you can check with different RAM and try some normal games which don't need high Graphic. You have PCI Graphic card fitted on it then try removing and playing the game, then this way you can know what is the fault.

Playing MLB the Show on PS3. Game loads fine, franchise I've been playing loads fine. But once I try to play a game, bar starts as game loads then game cuts off and goes to main PS3 screen.

Is your CD dirty or does it have any cracks? It might just be the problem. Otherwise, it could be corrupt game data. Clean the disc, if it still doesn't work I'd try deleting the game utility data and re-downloading it. Hope this helps in some way or another.

Holy C! I had the same problem and even bought a new system cause I thought it was broken! Turns out that the games are defective and there is no way to fix them. Now you can pick up copies of this game at your local Dollar Store! (NO JOKE!)

My colorvis joypad CVP-20 will not play some of my games. Im not sure if it's because it japanese or if the drivers are old. I've tried to update the drivers but that didn't work out. PLEASE...

This sounds like a compatibility issue. I would try it with another computer and see if the problem is the same. There is a high probability that the Joystick is not compatible with the games your are trying to play.

A friend gave me this toy for my grandson - who is a big star wars fan. Unfortunately she did not have the instructions anymore on how to play it. Is there any chance you might have this information or...

Hi - We just picked this up at a yard sale for my son & tried to find instructions online. Here's what I've been able to find:
For sale on ebay, decent description: "This is a Star Wars Millenium Falcon Sounds of the Force Memory Game by Tiger Electronics in Like New Condition!!!! Works Perfect!! It's time to win one for the rebellion. Play as Han Solo, pilot of the Millennium Falcon, as you jump to lightspeed through 4 exciting stages. Watch out for that nasty space debris... the odds of surviving an asteroid field are... well, they're not too good. And you've got plenty of tie fighters on your tail. Punch it, Chewie! Sounds of the Force will test your memory skills with digitized sounds from the Star Wars trilogy. The sounds are randomly scrambled under the buttons each time you start a new game; with authentic Star Wars sound effects and 3 different play modes available, there are millions of game variations! Match the sound you hear with the correct button, and the button will light up. Light four buttons in a row in any direction and you win the game! Play in practice mode to hone your skills, play single-player against the Millennium Falcon computer, or play with your friends! Any number can play! And remember, the force will be with you... always (uses 4 "AA" batteries "
Also, it's for sale on Amazon, with a decent photo of the back of the package and some instructions there: http://www.amazon.com/Millenium-Falcon-Sounds-Electronic-Memory/dp/B001ANZ06K
I can't really find much more info about it at all. Wow - seems like it may be worth a little more than the buck we just bought it for... ;-)
I'm going to play around with it a little bit more to see if I can help my 4-yr-old son figure it out. Hope this helps!

My wii is making a clicking sound when a game is in play why?

Thats fine. Its probably a little older and if you put any more Wii channels other than the original ones, It takes memory and it needs more computing time. The clicking noise is similar to the whirring noise in a computer. It is reading the disk

This sounds like a temperature related issue.
I would ensure there is plenty airflow around the pc and any vents or other openings are not blocked so the air can flow freely. if this all loks ok, unplug the cpu, open the cover CARFULLY clean any dust that has accumulated, put it all back together and test.
Please let me know how you make out.

Hi Theresa,

That may help and you can also point a house fan at the pc to add additional cooling.
You also may be able to see if all fans come on when it gets hot.
In current pcs the fans only come on when needed and you could have a fan that has failed.

If the pc operats normally when you are doing other things and not this game, you may be asking it to do something that is beyond its capability.
Games can be very computationally intensive and require pcs that are designed and set up to play them.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Jay, I think that does help a lot. We'll try the additional cooling and the visual inspection. I don't want to lose my games.
