i dont know how many of you have tried this and ended up in the same spot as me, but here is my issue.
i recently installed blacklight retribution from steam on my toshiba with windows 8 pro, and all went well in that aspect.
i launched the game and it brought up the normal window where it does all of its updating and everything.
i sign in and hit continue and this is where i hit my issue.
the game loads in full screen, like it should, but i only see a black screen.
after about 5 seconds, windows says it has stopped working and has to close.
this happens everytime that i try to open it,
anyone have any suggestions on what i can do to get the game running?
thanks
Have you done some searches or checked the Steam forums? The only thing I can think to recommend is to try setting Compatibility Mode (you may have to go into the SteamApps folder and set it on the EXE directly). This isn't really a tech support forum...

I have looked already but all look again. I may have tried your second option but I can't remember.
I thought I would post it here cause I wanted to know if anyone else had the same problem.

Hi All,
Very weird one this, I hard reset due to installing that virus (3d shoot 'em up thing here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=650393 ) and have come across a strange issue within Sense.
When I press "Settings" in the start menu (or slide across to it within Sense) I get the HTC settings menu, so far so good.
When I press "All Settings" under 'Menu' it opens the 'Connections' window, not the standard Windows settings, if I close the 'Connections' window, it returns me to the HTC settings menu.
Anyone know where I might be able to change the link, or at least find what the 'Connections' link is, so I may track it down please?
sorry. didn't fully read your post.
Half-asleep.
Please ignore me this time.

No problem.
I've managed to display the "All Settings" icon, albeit from within the Start Menu using the registry:
hklm -> security -> shell -> startinfo - change the "hidesettings" to 0.
I've found from the above, that "cplmain.cpl,19" seems to reference 'Connections', so pointing my search toward that at the moment.
Unless anyone else has any assistance?
Just noticed your post and having suffered also at the hands of the 3d terrorist bastards I thought I'd check mine......guess what.......all settings displays just fine, everythings there and opens up, trying to get out of it though is a different story, pressing "ok" just causes a pause, screen flicker and then same settings screen to reload.
Another problem I'm having since that virus is neither the htc music player or windows media player work at all.
ringtone doesnt play either.
Is that another hard reset I hear approaching?

Unfortunately, I've had to hard reset mine.
It now works fine, maybe just needed another kick!
Same, 2nd hard reset and all is well........ for now!

These stories are tragic disappointments... I cannot believe everything that has surfaced from this TROJAN program. It's unbelievable... because here we thought that such a thing would NEVER happen to any of us.
I think more attention should be paid towards this issue... it's a rather SERIOUS inconvenience for a lot of people.
Hmmm not had any issues with this trojan other than it dialling out, although I did switch off the phone as it was half way through it's hilarious attempt at pissing me off. Media player is fine, sms is fine, email fine, rss reader, shares, weather, in fact the phone is now running better than ever
One things for sure, I reckon open market will be hit hard by this, once bitten twice shy so to speak.

Nah, I'm a glutton for punishment.
I've learnt a hell of a lot about the registry on this thing that I wouldn't have gone near otherwise!
I thought i was getting smarter...i was downloading and installing stuff with no problems until this clock program. Can some one tell me how to make it work please. I am running cht's newest version but can't get the clocks to show up...it shows that they are installed...but can't find where they are and how to make them work. Help please...thank you
It would probably help to know what clock app you are trying to use.
It should be in the advanced settings in CHT...there's a drop-down list there to choose whatever compatible clock you have installed.
Thank you I will look in the advanced setting and see if that helps.
I have cookies 1.8.5 and there is no advanced drop menu I can find. I'm trying to use the clock called "the bull C3". From forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=670136

Ok well I'm running an older version of CHT (1.7) so I don't know if it's in the same place, but I access it by hitting the "menu" soft button on the home screen, then choosing "edit home layout". Once it enters the editing mode there, you should find the "advanced" button in the bottom right.
Ok...I found the advanced menu right where you said it was..but the clocks I installed don't show up in the options...do I have to install the cab file in a special place to get it to show up in the advanced menu?

Hmm...it was my understanding that whichever clock you have installed (I think you can only have one "actively installed" at a time) would show when you picked the appropriate option in the list...like "analog 1" or "analog 2"
Try picking each of the options that do show in the clock list, and see if any of them are the one you think is installed
Nope that didn't work...it's not there...I must be doing something wrong but I can't figure out what. I really appreciate all your help. I must be retarded or something.

lol no, I just can't say for sure how to choose them in 1.8.5...you might have better luck finding someone who knows the answer by posting in the thread the clocks are in
Hey I don't know what happened but I lost the standered anolog clock, so I restarted my phone and the one I installed just showed up!!! It must be a miracle from GOD!!! Like I said before Thanks alot for your help...thank you, thank you, thank you. You must have willed it onto my phone with ESP or something. YOU DA' MAN!!! I have never had so much trouble with an app.

lol I'm glad it works for you now, I know how frustrating that kind of thing can be. Had you done a soft-reset after you first installed the clocks? Sometimes changes in WM just need to be kick-started with a 2nd reboot.
Yeah I tried to re-boot it several times after installing it...then I uninstalled it and went on here asking for help...then I installed again and re-booted several times during our discussion....then on one re-boot the standard analog clock disappeared...so one more re-boot and magically the one I installed showed up. Now I'm just praying it doesn't have a virus or something. You don't happen to know of a anti-virus for the hd2 do you? Thanks again for all your help.

Nope...I know that there are some AV apps out there for winmo, but I've never felt compelled to test or use any. I'd have a hard time believing that your issue was casued by anything like that though. I'd suspect it's more likely related to the fact you installed all the clock cabs at once, but that's just a guess.

In Marketplace look up 'Lookout'. Its free and works great. But if you are on the stock ROM still dont use it. I had some issues when I was on my original ROM and it froze it to the point I had to hard reset. But it includes antivirus, Malware scan, firewall, etc. Plus it has a nice feature where if its stolen you can remotely (from any PC) 'NUKE' your phones contents. You can also pinpoint its location and go get it. GL!

After installing the clocks cab. then go into edit mode press the old clock till the remove tab appears, then hold the empty sapce till add new tab.appears and select analog 1 from dropdown menu, soft reset and new clock should show. In fact you can get 2 different clocks to display-- one for day and one for night.
how do you get one clock for day and another for night?

Most of the clocks for the 1.8.5 it says you have to uncheck sense install/restart your phone/then click sense back on...yeah pretty complicated other wise it will not show up...usually a reboot will take care of it...As far as two different clocks..I am pretty sure that is not possible...only one at a time...
Since the installation of android 2.3.3 on my I9000
Snap N Go Fails..
it connects with my PC then the camera goes on
it stays on for couple sec then the application closes
without a FC warning
Is Snap and Go compatible with BETA 2.3 ???
jje
i dont know...mate
maybe it is the camera bug or something that makes it close
I can also confirm that I get the exact same reaction since 2.3.3 upgrade for SGS. (Upgrade from cell phone carrier). Its a big shame because Snap N Go was/is a terrific app. Have read on net that others have same problem. Also have lost daily briefing app.
Please HELP!
i even cant find it in samsung apps!

Yes I notice it's not there anymore too.
Same issue on the same configuration, you are not alone !
same problem
come on developer type people
this is a briliant, just briliant app... and i want it back
won't anyone help?
what's about solution?
Wow tried it and this happens to me too.
Lame Snap N Go was a great easy way to transfer files between computers without the hassle of using a samba share. (It even worked without a wifi network around, just connect the laptop to mobile AP.)
I wonder if we can get a log that will give insight into the problem?
It just doesn't work on Gingerbread apparently..
Also, samsung's taken it off of "Samsung Apps"..
Such an amazing app, its so less known!
Can't any developer help here? Please!
"apk" and the "desktop-application" file are both still available on the net,
and i strongly believe its just a minor bug(with the new camera) that's the problem, as the app runs fine(connects with desktop client and all) till the camera tries to load up
Hi Guys,
Just hoping somebody can point me in the right direction.
I flashed to 3.01 US stock from UK in order to get the updates. I updated twice to 3.2.
What I'm noticing now is that if I click on a link, that launches an associated app (browser for instance), I used to get a screen jump up and ask which app I wanted to use. So if I'd installed Firefox, Dolphin and got Stock, it would give me the option if I hadn't yet set a default.
Since 3.2 when I click the link, the screen fades out, but the options aren't showing to select which means I can't launch the link/app.
The fix is to uninstall any relevant applications until I only have one app that can launch said link, then reinstall, and I get the option again.
Anyone had this or know how to fix without reinstalling everything?
Hope that made sense....very tired so it might not have done
I had the problem I hope u didn't set Firefox or dolphin as ur default browser what I did was erase all data now I have dolphin and the default drowser all working fine here

This issue has been discussed, but there are two simple ways to solve it without having to reinstall everything.
1) Simply wait and eventually it will fix itself. I know this sounds strange but it will eventually work. I am not generally patient so this one did not work for me.
2) With Autorotate ON, simply rotate the Xoom so that it has to redraw the "picker" screen. Do this when the screen dims and nothing is showing up. I have found that once you do this once for any particular file type you do not need to do it a second time.
I too was reinstalling apps to get the screen to show up, but even that did not always work.
I had the same problem and it seemed to only manifest itself after I re-installed all my apps from Tiamat/Xoom Zone with Titanium Backup. I'm not sure which app was the culprit but after uninstalling Scripter and aLogcat it started working perfect.
Hope this helps!
Same Issues !!
With opera Mobile and MoboPlayer !

Will certainly check these options out. Are you saying that in the first instance, when the screen dims.,...if I left it long enough, it would appear?
Has this been put to Google on their Bugs page,....as Bugs go...it's an annoying one
The Asus Transformer has the exact same problem. makes me think it could be more of a HC3.2 bug now after seeing this thread than device related.
Worse after you think you have fixed the problem every time you turn the device off and then on again on the problem begins again if you have multiple apps that can load a file or link like a web browser (I use multiple). If you have one app or set one app to be the default then you don't have the problem ....with that file or link
Easy to reset by rotating the screen ..but each time you turn on?
Question........
has anyone fixed this with a factory reset?
Factory reset will not fix this . Other browsers , media players and file managers somehow cause the problems .
For some reason my screen will dim whenever i try to go to links in gmail or other things. Any idea what could be causing this? The xoom is not rooted and completely stock 3.2. kind of an odd issue and a big annoyance.
no solution but saw this happen today in a link in a mail client. it was not gmail.
also, i use honeycomb file manager HD (paid version). clicking on videos mounted at /external1 does the same thing. the videos play, they just dont play from within that file manager. this just started happening. Ive had honeycomb file manager HD for a couple months now (since it was launched) and was able to play the videos from within the app (it would pop up which video player to choose from...). now it doesnt.
i just figured it was a random glitch but perhaps not.
looks like the 3.2 bug... the screen dims when the application picker dialogue box is called, meaning it could happen anytime a link, file, pic, etc could be opened with more than one app on your device... try rotating your screen and it should appear... should make the problem go away (at least until next reboot).
Think doing a factory reset would help?
This is a well known and documented bug with Android 3.2.
Simply rotate your screen, and it will show you a list of applications to choose from.

Nope, as solarnz said this is android 3.2 bug... won't happen everytime, but everytime it happens changing your screen orientation fixes it... mainly a minor annoyance.
appreciate the heads up. i had not known about the bug.. was under a rock i suppose.
ive not seen this issue again and i just tried just now and all is well. next time however, ill be ready ..
thank you again to the OP for posting and for the followups. "thanks" are in order here...
