Frequently asked questions for Brain Games
Q: I installed Brain Games and my PC froze. I couldn't exit from the game and I tried
pressing the Ctrl-Alt-desktop was different. For example fonts and images were larger.
I have a Dell Inspiron B130 laptop which is 1-1/2 yrs. old with 1.5gb RAM and Windows XP.
I tried to reset all the settings that I'm aware of to change the display, fonts, image size,
etc. but nothing worked. I also tried setting IE7.0 to smallest fonts but the screens were
still too big to fit on my display without scrolling sideways, etc.
I then uninstalled both software games and rebooted the system but that didn’t work
either.
Later I tried to read an Adobe Acrobat file and received a message that I need to install
Acrobat even though it is installed. I downloaded a new version but I’m wondering why
my PC didn’t recognize the existing one.
Finally, when I used Ctrl-Alt-Del to see the performance of my computer, a message came
up and said “Task Manager has been disabled by Administrator.”
I'm the Administrator and I didn't disable this so I assumed that your software had
something to do with this. I finally did a System Restore back to the day prior to installing
your software and everything was back to normal.
What could be causing these issues?
A: There seems to be many different things going on, so let’s go through the causes of
the problems:
“When I got back into my computer, my desktop was different. For example fonts and
images were larger.”
This could be related to two things - your BIOS controls or your graphics/video card. We
noticed that there is a BIOS update for your particular PC. BIOS controls the keyboard,
display screen, disk drives, serial communications, and a number of miscellaneous
functions.
Because there is a update for your PC, we recommend your do that first. You do that here
on Dell's website:
Dell Support
Then we recommend that you update your video card drivers. A new one was posted in
June 2006 and you can download it here from Dell's website:

“Later I tried to read an Adobe Acrobat file and received a message that I need to install
Acrobat…”
Our software has nothing to do with Adobe Acrobat, so that we can't help you with, but I
do urge you to run a virus scan on your PC and look for potential bugs that may have
gotten to your system.
“Task Manager has been disabled by Administrator.”
As for the Task Manager item, that is actually a concern. There are spyware programs and
viruses that disable task manager so you can't end the tasks. Spyware can try to take
control of your PC. It's a little work, but I would suggest you try to take care of that. Here
is a link to a website that details that type of problem.
