Do you play games in laptop !!

[vkl]

@Jay1234
I play CS occasionally nowadays,nothing much.
Just play,don't worry much.Just check if it heats up much which I don't think would happen to a high extent.

@vkl should i buy an extended warrenry cos i didnt bought it with lappy ???? my friend told me that they dont repair laptop they just say physical ( u dropped it ) so its a waste of money ???

& yeah when i press fn + play/pause ket it start window media player but i wanna use it for mediamonkey so how can i stop WMP to start ???

Extended warranty is just normal warranty extended.Accidental damage protection doesn't come with this laptop,it does come with some higher end ones so physical damage from user end won't be covered be it within warranty period or outside it.It's up to you if you want extended warranty.I didn't get it because I didn't feel about needing it.

If you don't use windows media player at all and don't need it then disable it.Click Start and under the search box type "Turn windows features on or off" and click it.
Under "Turn windows features on or off" find "Media Features",click it to expand it,uncheck "windows media player" which would also automatically uncheck windows media center.It would ask for a restart,restart and WMP would be disabled.You can enable windows media player if you want from there.

If you don't want to disable windows media player then follow this method:
In the start search box type "cmd" and click it.Type "regedit" in the cmd screen and hit enter.
Under the registry editor go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\MediaPlayer.
Hit "Installation Directory" key,rename it to something like "Installation Directory2".
Create a new string key(right click->New->String Value),rename it to "Installation Directory" and close registry editor.
It should get the job done.Fn+f9 would work as usual with other media players to play/pause the media,it won't launch Windows media player and neither can it launch any other media player.If you ever want to go back to default settings then just delete the newly created "Installation Directory" key and rename the original key(now "Installation Directory2") back to "Installation Directory".

Vkl ur gr8 thanxx man u solved a very big problem

BRO HOW DO U UPDATE DRIVERS ???? WHAT SYSTEM OPTIMISATION & SYSTEM PROTECTION (ANTIVIRUS OR FIREWALL ) APPS YOU ARE USING ???

Just go to manufacturers website,go to support/driver section,select your system and check for drivers.If some newer version of drivers have come then you can update.
You don't need to check for all the updates or update driver regularly.For most of things there won't be many revision of drivers and you won't need to update.
The only thing which has updates regularly is graphics driver.Just download and update the graphics driver from intel's site as you have hd4000.
I use Ccleaner a little,it is fine.For anti-virus and firewall,I am currently using norton Internet security 2013 trial version.

i tried to play black ops (back when it was launched) on my laptop, and it cooked my nuts.

never playing on a laptop again, unless said laptop is kept on a block of solid ice.

You should have used a laptop cooler instead of lap.

Go to lenevo's website and under support section type in your laptop's name. You'll get the drivers. Also for antivirus, use avira. I've been using it for 3 years now.

I'd say avoid playing on a laptop since overheating will be a major pain in the @$$ later on. I used to play on laptop earlier, then I gave it to my dad and brought my desktop.

I don't think it will cause any problem if vents are not blocked and a good cooler is used while gaming. There are so many laptops priced high and come with the tag "gaming". What's the point of buying those if we don't game?

Come on man we spend a large amount of money just to make a presentation or watch a movie or browse net. Well not me in my case if I havr brought a laptop for gaming than what is the point of not gaming on it.

I've played games once or twice on my laptop but it heats up too much and I get scared. I bought a Zebronics cooling system, which can keep the laptop at an angle. It cost 550 Rs. Not sure if it actually cools the laptop, though; it is really silent, but I haven't noticed any real difference in temperatures. What do you people use to measure temperatures? I use Speedfan, but that is not accessible when running games.

HWInfo, in game OSD is not there, just check the max temp column from time to time.

I don't play games in laptop, I prefer to use desktop because it has bigger screen Whenever I use my laptop for games, it's just for the usual games like Solitaire .
