Chapter 7. Recovering the Computer

Game/Program Related

Q1 3D game is not executed, or some functions are not working.

A Change the graphic setting of the game to ‘2D’ or ‘Software Renderer’, then exe-

cute the program again.

Q2 I launched a game right after installing it, and the game is not

executed.

A This problem may occur when the game is not compatible with Windows XP.

Launch the game again, and it will be executed properly.

Q3 When I play a game, the screen is displayed in reduced size.
A   This problem may occur when the Full Screen option in the driver setting is not 

selected. Change the display setting to extended desktop mode before execut
ing a game.
1. Press touchpad right button on the desktop.
2. Click Graphic Options > Panel Fit > Enable.

Q4 While playing a 3D game, I tried to change display devices

using <Fn>+<F4 / LCD/CRT> keys, then the system does not
operate.

A When you use <Fn>+<F4 / LCD/CRT> keys while playing a 3D game, a system

error may occur.
Do not use <Fn>+<F4 / LCD/CRT> keys while playing a 3D game.

Q5 <Fn>+<F4/ LCD/CRT> Key combination does not work.

A While displaying video of VCD or MPEG, or the display setting is Dual View,
you cannot toggle display devices. Also the installation of NetWare Client 32
program disables the function of <Fn+F4/ LCD/CRT>.

Q6 When you switched display devices using <Fn>+<F4 / LCD/CRT>

keys while playing a game, the screen is not displayed proper-
ly.

A This problem may occur in some games. Use <Fn>+<F4 / LCD/CRT> keys before

starting a game, and not during playing the game.
