How Do I Turn The Game Off

[Capt.Harlock]

I'm new to PC games And I down loaded some older ones from the early 90' (my computer sucks and that's all it's capable of playing) So I have 2 questions first how do I turn them off aside from Ctrl, Alt, Delete, and how can I find out what kind of sound and video card I have (I got my computer used) Thanks.

Dependes on the game really, try using the ESC key... if they&#39;re DOS games sometimes <ctrl + q> is the escape sequence they use... try looking for specific documentation, it&#39;ll pretty much depend on the game.

And q by its self yet that is quite right all down to which game.

F1 for help or go to the keyboard commands.

TRY ALT+F4 IT SHOULD WORK.

Alt + Enter should minimize the game and return you to Windows. Then you can either click on the X, or right-click on the game&#39;s taskbar button and select &#39;Close&#39;.

Don&#39;t you mean Alt + Tab?

<alt + enter> also works, what it does is changes games from full view to windowed mode, at least in DOS screens.

Try alt-crt-shift-tab-backspace-insert-delete-enter-scrolllock all at the same time

No, that will only work if you have another Window already open so you can switch to a different task. Alt + Enter takes you from a DOS environment back to Windows.
