All the RAM does not.

I built a new computer office in dec 08.  AMD Athlon X 2 6000 + 4 GB OCZ DDR2 1066 (I know won't work to 800 due to the CPU), Foxconn A7DA mobo and an ATI HD4670 Gigabyte graphics card.  Windows Vista 32 bit installed and I know that it will use only about 3 GB.  Recently, my information system shows that I have 4 GB RAM installed but my total is only 1.46 GB.  I tested each stick sperately and each watch 1.46 GB sticks.  Something is to limit my ram and I can not understand what I just installed windows 7 (64-bit) on a different hard drive, and it shows 4 gb total.  I have run several virus scans and found nothing.  This could be the cause?

tjbrad04,
Have you recently installed an update to Vista service pack?  There has been some changes to the way that Vista reports the system memory.  These articles may help explain the discrepancy you see:

    Why an amplification of the RAM does not change the index performnance of windows Vista?

    Hello

    I m not very well, but maybe you have more than 3 GB of RAM and Vista 32 bit.
    Usually the 32 bit OS is capable to manage and send only 3.2 GB.
    The more than 3.2 GB RAM will not operating system used and therefore would not increase the index
    In addition the laptop will be not really faster after upgrading RAM. You will notice better performance using applications at the same time, but this does not affect the index of Vista.
    But this is only my personal hypothesis.

  • 'Click to edit all the properties' does not not in Dreamweaver CC for padding/margins

    Whenever I try to use the option "Click to change all the properties" in Dreamweaver CM³ (the link icon of string in the middle of the box of Magin/Padding), it never seems to work. Or should I use the abbreviation CSS, it lists, up, down, left and right margins/padding separately no matter if I have the chain linked or broken link icon.  If I set it up to connect the four sides, and enter a value in the top, nothing happens on the other sides. It's not until I enter a value towards the bottom it auto fills in the other two sides. Anyone else having this problem?

    I am unable to reproduce the problem where the link in the chain does not update the 4 values all. This works well for me.

    As for the formula of stenography, there's a preference setting that is probably unchecked?

    Go to Dreamweaver-> preferences on a Mac or Edition-> Preferences Windows and go to the section of CSS Styles. If the check box for margin and padding is defined, then you will get a code shortcut otherwise it will not.

  • [Bug of LabVIEW report] 'Create all the constants' does not create a constant for the controls when mixed with flags

    The shortcut of the comics 'Create all the constants' cannot create a constant to a control when it is mixed with flags:

    Colors of the palette is a table control, the other two are indicators.

    results in:

    With the help of the 'constant to create' (which is something else altogether) works very well with the table control (of course, the constant is not connected to the Terminal in this case).

    Tested in LV 2016 64 bit on Windows 7

    You can change the functionality of the right click plugin by opening the Terminals_core.vi all the wires in the .llb following and by removing the structure of matter on the image below (keep remove it just method the structure around him). He did what you wanted in the original post, but is not very useful when you start to use it on items with multiple terminals (especially multiple output terminals). The code makes it seem quite expected, he travels all terminals it concludes and checks whether it is an input or output terminal. If it's an entry, it creates a constant, if it is an output, it does nothing. The change that I did just creates a constant whether it is an input or output.

  • Windows XP restarts all the time; does not start mode safe mode and last known Configuration does not work either

    Hello! Recently, I installed Wubiand appreciates well. However, a few days ago, when I tried to boot XP on my netbook (EEE PC 1005hab), it restarts just constantly return to the selection screen of the BONES. I tried Safe Mode and last good Configuration known with anything will do. What should I do now? Ubuntu has not stopped working suddenly, so I can't access my data.

    I don't have to have a Windows XP CD, there is something weird Asus recovery instead. In addition, it is a netbook so I don't have an optical drive to run the recovery CD. I'm doing a Livecd of Linux USB so I can back up my data... but I can do but reinstall at this point?

    Thank you.

    The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD drive (even an external).

    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    If there is a problem starting, XP is configured to automatically try to start again and you can stuck in a loop not being able to go beyond the screen boot options, or none of these startup options you choose will work only.

    Sometimes, when XP has a problem starting or falls down and tries to start again, it will give you a "short" menu of boot options and none of them will appear to be good to get your system going again.  You have tried them all!

    The options are similar to the Advanced Boot Options menu XP, but the only option that you need (disable automatic error system reboot) are not offered, because XP went too far during the boot process and offers a limited number of boot options.

    If this is the case, you must call Options menu advanced boot yourself until you do not see the option:

    Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

    When you get the XP Advanced Options correct start menu, it has options on it like these:

    Safe mode
    Safe mode with networking
    Safe mode with command prompt

    Enable Boot logging
    Enable VGA mode
    Last good Configuration known (your most recent settings that worked)
    Directory Services Restore Mode (Windows domain controllers only)
    Debug mode
    Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

    Start Windows normally
    Reset
    Return to OS Choices Menu

    You need to choose in this menu is the option:

    Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

    Then if XP does not start normally, you will see an error screen with information and clues about the problem and then you can decide what to do next.

    If you do not see the automatic restart on system failure option turn it off, you must reset your system and start typing the key F8 on the keyboard until you see her disable automatic restart on system failure option.

    If you miss the window of opportunity F8, you must try again and start pressing the F8 key with more urgency (earlier and more frequently) until you see disable automatic restarts on system failure, and then select it.

    You must keep trying the F8 menu until you see disable automatic restart on system failure option, and select it.

    Answering queries and results report of the disable automatic restart on system failure screen and you can decide what to do next.

    Do, or do not. There is no test.

    Hello

    You said that you have installed Windows Vista again
    But did you use Toshiba Recovery disk or the image of Toshiba for recovery?

    Unfortunately, my instructor - specified, exactly: no copy and paste the code in and not to use flash, but specifically using a plug-in (not not a joke).

    I think that your instructor could use a refresher course. Nobody uses more player plugins.  HTML5 video is so much better for it.

  • P4J10EA #2AN: new HP notebook: all the interface does not

    There's a horrible problem with my laptop newly purchased HP laptop, model: 15-ac122nx of the UNITED Arab Emirates.

    It comes with FreeDos already loaded. I removed and installed MS Windows 7-64 bits of a bootable DVD. It installed perfectly. But none of my interface works: USB, audio jack, etc. except this DVD player. Also, there is no start with a bootable USB key. It does, show USB bootable drive during the first boot menu pilots and shows deliver, don't install during the installation of the GUI for Windows 7 Installation menu and stop installation. So I was forced to start with DVD player.

    When I run through the Device Manager and in the drop-down list other devices : all items with a yellow icon individually say... the drivers for this device is not installed (code 28). I also sent the screen capture what it looks like.

    Please help me.

    Still do not understand. If you have installed Windows 7 hard disk and the screen that we are seeing with the Windows 7 installation works from the hard drive or that you run it on a DVD as a live system?

    You just need drivers if that is running from the hard disk. Your laptop is officially supported for Windows 7, and we should be able to find the drivers.

    Use this link:

  • Satellite P10 - 554 dvd - ram does not work

    I got a Satellite P10 554, and as I said above the RAM does not work.
    It should be a software problem, because if I reinstall the drivers it works a few minutes (it did until now yesterday it stopped completely)
    It is impossible to install the new drivers or update a firmware somehow
    (pilot: after rebooting, the old drivers are loaded again (but I uninstalled them))
    (firmware update: I still got the message: invalid drive to update f/w)

    I hope that someone of you can help me ;)

    Hello

    What did you mean with the work of t car doesn?
    You are not able to burn or read the media?

    The error message says it all. I think you re not able to update the firmware because the firmware is not supported on this drive.

    Try to remove the drive from Device Manager, and then shut down the laptop.
    Usually after restarting again the operating system should recognize the drive again.
    If this does not help, you can try to remove the drive from the laptop. Turn on the unit, then go into windows. The reader should disappear. Then stop and reset the drive in the notebook. After this procedure the laptop must load the firmware again.

    It will be useful.
