find a nylon bag capable of retaining the heat created by the laptop. Now make sure the power inlet is enclosed too. This done, power ur lappy and leave it to shut down by itself. The problem may be solved by so doing cos ur graphics card will overheat and hopefully get reflowed. Let's know how it goes...
ur trick worked well, thanks bro.

Where did u move ur .dll File into ?
have u tried step three.??


Step 1 : Download the fresh copy of steam_api.dll from download links in the end of this article .
Step 2 : You must know your windows 7 version (64Bit or 32 Bit ) then open C drive then open Windows then open this folder "SysWOW64 " and put
steam_api.dll If you are using Windows7 64bit. If you are using Windows7 32 bit , paste it on System32 .
Step 3 : You must be sure that you put the missing dll file on this path "C:\Windows\SysWOW64 " in case of 64bit and "C:\Windows\System32 " in case of 32 bit .
Step 4 : A dll general base : Make a backup copy of the original files before replacement .
Step 5 : It will require to Overwrite any existing files .
Step 6 : Reboot your Computer and try to open your game again .


Feed me back on this.

Pls I need help. I recently bought a battery for a dell vostro 1500. After using for a while it begins to run only on AC power, battery indicator flashes red(four times) then blue(once). The bios indicates the battery is normal and also windows 7 displays "plugged in, charging" when the adaptor is plugged. If unplugged the laptop switches off immediately. Pls has any one encountered and solved this problem?

Hello. I have some problems with my laptop (hp pavilion dv6). I bought it from someone and it had windows 8 pro with media centre installed. It was doing fine, but it wasn't activated. So I reinstalled windows 8 pro (my mistake. I'd have just cracked the OS and everything would be fine. First timer sha). All the applications were removed and I have none of them. No MS Word, Excel or Power-point. Also, when I try to install BlackBerry Desktop Software, it requires .NET Framework 3.5. I tried some command line tools from around the web to install it but all failed. It requires internet connection which I don't have. How do I solve this?

I bought a driver solution pack and used it after re-installing the OS, but it didn't fix everything. It installed some unwanted programs: the opera was russian, yandex, firefox and some other programs all in russian. And it is outdated. Most of the programs and drivers in it need updates.
Thanks for contributing.

you can use winrar and the DVD drive shouldn't cost more than 6k depending on your location. Why don't you opt for external DVD drive?

Happy sunday morning to u all. Please I need urgent help. I used my phone to she a solfware with a friend and since I used the guys laptop there is this issue I began to have. All my files. Music, pics, photos on my phone memory and SD card have been missing, I can view them from my file manager but can't view from my phone galary , it have also affected my laptop. I used my brothers phone to tranfer something to my phone and it turned to short cuts. I've scanned with antivirus still it can't find anything. What should do?

That seems to be the only solution. Somehow, I regret re-installing the OS. But, does the update require much data? I don't have an internet connection. I'm using blackberry bundles to browse on mobile and it can't work on pc without the blackberry desktop software. And I need the .NET framework 3.5 to install the bb desktop. So I'm stuck. I tried using the bb bundle through nokia pc suite but it keeps redirecting to glo hsi self-care portal.

What brand/model of phone are you using? Blackberry and Android have options to safely remove media card. If you remove the SD card without using this feature, it can cause such problems. Blackberry has an option to repair the card. I don't know about the others.
