• Advice needed for new XPS 8700

  Hello

  My old XPS 8100 bit the dust, and I am currently using an old Inspiron.

  I was watching the 'Special Edition' XPS 8700 - good price and specifications, but he offers victory 8.1 with a free upgrade to win10. Other 8700 XPS comes pre-installed with Win10, but the specs are not as attractive.

  I'm intimidated by the prospect, not to download and install win10 BUT what scares me, is that the drivers for the video and audio might get all screwed up in the process.

  Can you give me advice about what to choose?

  Thanks in advance,

  Jane

  Hi Smiseel,

  If you like the specifications for the 8700 Special Edition, buy it. You have until July to free download Windows 10 next. You don't need to worry about installing drivers, you can come back to the forum and we will help you with it.

• SSD for the boot, SSD, reformatting of the files needed for a normal startup of Windows 7

  I just have to use the SSD Sandisk more for the startup of Windows 7 and MSOffice programs.
  I made a mistake of a new copy on Windows 7 top loading.
  What I wanted, it was just part of Windows 7 with all current configurations and keep the data on the other hard drive.

  So what I did is to clone the old HD (which was almost full) to a larger HD, so I have a full copy, which is bootable.
  I took the old HD and removed/uninstalled all data & programs except: all files in Windows, the files MS Ofc, video card, keyboard & mouse records, Internet browsers, contact lists, etc.

  My plans were to take stripped this old HD, after defragmentation and clone through for the Sandisk SSD, so it will start quickly.

  My first concern is to clean the SSD drive that has the Windows 7 barebones.
  Can I just reformat?

  Any other considerations that I missed?

  You can re - format the disk and run clone on it, if you don't want to keep of course.

  The situation you describe seems feasible for me

• Advice needed for 10 port NIC

  Guys,

  We have a dell 2950 with 10 port NIC (2 cards with 4 each and built in 2 port on the dell).

  We plan to have redundancy with 5 ports is one physical switch, and other other 5 ports goes to another physical switch.

  For the moment, we are looking to just 5 machines to VMs on each host.  Regarding the construction of the vm machine, I have to create a separate for each machine virtual switch if I want to use 2 ports by a vm machine?

  TIA,

  TNT

  You can really use 2 ports by a vm machine, unless the virtual machine has two network cards.  At this point, they should not be on the same network, and it's not really a good practice for servers, unless you use them as routers.

  In order to use several physical from a vSwitch perspective maps, your physical network cards which are the uplinks to the vSwitch must run on the same physical switch.  Interfaces will be to separate switches offer redundancy only and cannot be aggregated unless the switches are 'stacked' together, effectively making it a logical switch.

  So, with this many ports, I would use a pair of service console, a pair for vMotion, another pair for storage traffic (if you are using iSCSI/NFS), and then you have 2 pairs remaining for virtual machine network traffic.  For 5 vm, it's a huge amount of bandwidth, but 4 physical network adapters to GigE should go a long way toward the more vm traffic needs.

• A software says I need 4 MB of VM set aside for the program to run.

  Original title: virtual memory.

  How to set 4 MB of virtual memory in windows xp? A software says I need 4 MB of VM set aside for the program to run.

  Hi KennethBrasel,

  Welcome to the Microsoft community where you can find all the answers related to windows.

  According to the description provided, looks that you receive a virtual memory message when installing a program on Windows XP computer.

  By default, the virtual memory paging file that is created during installation is 1.5 times the physical RAM on your computer. Therefore, a computer that has 1 GB of RAM installed will have 1.5 GB of virtual memory.

  You can manually change the size of the swap file to make it larger or smaller. You can also optimize virtual memory use by dividing the space of files between multiple drives and by removing the disks slow or very open space.

  He would be grateful if you can answer this question in order to help you further.

  1. What is the size of your RAM memory?
  2 are. what program you referring?

  I suggest you try the following steps to change the virtual memory:

  a. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.

  b. in the System Properties dialog box, click the Advanced tab.

  (c) in the results pane, click settings.

  d. in the performance Options dialog box, click the Advanced tab.

  e. in the virtual memory section, click on change.

  f. change the initial size value and the value of maximum size to a higher value, click on set and then click OK.

  g. click OK to close the performance Options dialog box and then click OK to close the System Properties dialog box.

  Note: With virtual memory, the computer can use the hard drive as memory (RAM) space. The computer uses virtual memory to increase the ordinary RAM that is installed on the computer. If you reduce the size of the pagefile, some the program may not start correctly or may not start at all. This problem may occur even if the computer has plenty of RAM.

• need the simple way to set the computer back to factory settings, and already saved safe data

  need the simple way to set the computer back to factory settings, and already saved safe data

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

• Failure of HD or another problem - troubleshooting advice needed

  MacBook Pro 15 inch, early 2011 running OS X El Capitan 10.11.1

  About a week ago I started to notice a considerable following during the time delay of opening the programs, files, and even typing... everything freezes for 2-3 seconds, then I get the beachball for a few seconds to more than a minute. I used the disk utility and checked everything (not verified, no repair required). As I obviously have a problem, I made a Time Machine backup to a WD 1 TB hard drive external and downloaded EtreCheck-2... I ran it at least five times in the course of a few days and whenever he found between 20 and 109 errors and I get unable to drive! Message. If there is a chance the drive is NOT the issue, I want to help out but don't know where to start... since I was a backup Time Machine recently can I wipe the drive and reinstall? Space seems to be a problem... plan to move photos from k 8 currently on my machine to the external hard drive. Also removed apps that I don't use, but I see pieces on the EtreCheck that I can't purge (Motorola, Jaksta). Any advice would be helpful... Most recent EtreCheck shown below.

  Welcome to Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

  I would like to ask you a few questions in order to get a better understanding of this issue.

  ·         Were you able to load this game before and play on it?

  Here are some steps that may help you.

  First of all, I suggest that you perform a clean boot on the computer and install the game and make sure if you are able to load the game and play on it, you can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  The following link has steps showing how to perform the clean boot: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

  (1) perform the clean boot (check the link to perform the clean boot)

  (2) enable half the services

  (3) determine whether the problem returns

  (4) enable half of the startup items

  (5) determine if the problem returns

  (6) repeat the steps above until you find out which program or service is causing the issue

  After you determine the startup item or the service that is causing the problem, contact the manufacturer of the program to determine if the problem can be solved. Or, run the System Configuration utility, and then click to clear the check box of the element of the problem.

  Reset the computer to start as usual:

  When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

  1. click on start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER.

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

  2. on the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

  3. When you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

  If the problem persists, I suggest that you contact the manufacturer of the game for further assistance, you can check the link: http://www.nfscars.net/home/index.aspx

  Hope this information is useful.

  Thank you, and in what concerns:
