Already bought an Alienware 14 - curious about the upgrade of the screen

• Alienware 14, dysfunctions of the screen after the idling or after reboot - drivers?

  Hello

  I have an Alienware 14 I had probably more than a year before, so I'm probably out of warranty now. Fortunately, this problem seems less to do with all the problems of hardware and some weird stuff going on with drivers.

  What happens is that after the screen becomes inactive, or after I restarted the computer, the screen goes wonky.  It flashes green (or cyan) and purple lines across, with the upper part of the screen on the bottom.  If I restart the PC often enough, then possibly screen returns to normal and works perfectly fine, no matter how long I keep active to screen.  But then when I have to restart my PC or make it become inactive, I have the problem all over again.

  Here is a video that I could find on Youtube that shows an approximate example of display problem and recovery solution:

  http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=eaqRaqBqwog

  This issue started to happen to me in mid-November, after the tool of pre installed nVidia (GeForce experience) prompted me to update my nVidia drivers.  Comments on this video, youtube and other topics like the following, all this seems to be a questionable issue with an update for nVidia drivers.

  en.Community.Dell.com/.../19610218

  I tried to restore my GPU driver in September 2014 published version (344.11) and that seems to fix the problem for several reboots.  Then a few hours later, I tried to restart, had the same screen problems, and my GPU driver reverted to the version of 18 November 2014 (344.75).  I don't know that I have the nVidia tool configured to not the automatic update of the GPU driver.

  (I don't know if it's related, but when I used http://www.geforce.com/drivers to detect version, Firefox had forgotten that he was authorized to execute Java.)

  Is there something else, maybe in the OS (Windows 8.1), which is auto-update the driver GPU?

  Is there a way that you can have Windows to stop updating your drivers:
  I think this might solve your problem.

  Here is a tutorial on how to disable the Windows updated driver.

• Curious about the quality of the training VMware vs other classes

  Maybe this isn't the best place to ask because it is VMware forums, but can anyone offer an objective opinion on the quality of the VMware classes directed against others, such as HP? I intend to take the vSphere 5: installation, Congif and manage 5 day class.

  I would assume that VMware instructors would be more informed about their own products, but more competent people are not always the best teachers. Also, there are other factors such as the quality of the installation, access to the laboratories and the precision of the curriculum.  So any suggestions would be appreciated.

  Welcome to the community - having been a contract for VMware instructor, they hold all the VCI at a very high level, requiring continured and mainat high education on the student investigations comepleted at the end of the class - these investigation are the same if you take the class of VMware or partner VATC like HP or global knowledge.

  The VATC infrastructure also must be approved by VMware and is amended periodically to ensure the safe delivery of the material of the class and classes so you should not be concerned aboud the quality of delivery of the course - that being said each delivery of instructors is unique to this instructor and depending on your tatses you might find an instructor who is great While the student sitting next to you think it is a total tool.

• Question about the extension of RAM for Satellite A50-522

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A50-522, with a Pentium M 715 @1. 5 Ghz processor and Intel 855GME chipset. To expand its RAM I referred to the Spain/Toshiba support website and I bought the PA3313U-2M1G (1 GB SDRAM 166 MHz DDR333/PC2700) via amazon.com. It turns out that this RAM is for "Alviso chipsets" - which are those relating to the Intel Centrino processors with 9xx series express chipset. I called Toshiba/USA and they recommend the PA3313U-1M1G or its equivalent Kingston KTT3311 / 1 G (since it is impossible to find in the Mexico), instead of the one I already bought. They all seem exactly the same thing in their description, except for the note "alviso chipset.

  My questions are:
  (a) is the chipset of this computer, considered "alviso" type? and
  (b) if not, should I keep the RAM I bought already (PA3313U-2M1G for alviso chipset)?, can I have performance or compatibility problems? What are the risks of the use of this "alviso RAM' in a 'no-alviso chipset? I deeply appreciate your input.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  The RAM modules for especially for chipsets alviso are not known to me, but the Satellite A50-522 certainly supports the memory PC2700 PA3313U-1M1G bar.
  I guess the PA3313U-1M1G and PA3313U-2M1G are the same modules from memory.

  PA3313U-1M1G and PA3313U-2M1G memory module are supported the same specifications of 1 GB - SO DIMM 200 pin - DDR - 333 MHz PC2700

  I think you can use both modules without any problem.

• It is best to set the resolution size and icon of the screen up

  It is best to set the maximum screen resolution before attempting to adjust the size of icons and text on the desktop, notification area, Quick Launch bar and start menu? I know that the icons can be made to the largest and by choosing a lower screen resolution but y at - it a benefit to have the maximum resolution? My view is not too good and I need icons and text to be big enough.

  Hello

  The screen, or the screen resolution, resolution refers to the size of the whole image displayed on your computer screen. Specifically, he refers the number of picture elements, or pixels, which are displayed at the same time. A pixel is the smallest element on your computer screen, the more pixels, the more detailed the picture will be. With fewer pixels, display items will be larger, but there will be less space on the desktop for windows and the programs to run.

  You can visit the link provided below for more information about the screen resolution in Windows XP.

• Want the content to remain at the bottom of the screen, regardless of the resolution of the screen

  On my site, I have my contact information in a bar, and I want the contact bar must remain fixed at the bottom of the screen. When I test the site at different screen resolutions, sometimes the contact bar is no longer there. How can I make sure that the contact bar stays relatively where I want it, regardless of the screen resolution?

  What you are trying to achieve will not work within the Muse, changing the display screen resolutions will not affect the browser window size and position, how to make sensitive sites.

  Don't forget about the screen resolution is your file size upwards or downwards (zoom upwards or downwards) based on the settings of your start page. So if find you something to 1000 pixels high, that's where it will always be regardless of the resolution of your screen, Muse has no way of calculating where to place an image if you change the resolution, it's zoom the screen upward or downwards and not the data.

• Bought a used iPhone 4S about six months ago. Not configured for all files huuuuge icloud. Only mail (which I cut on a regular basis), but no pictures. Why do I get the message that my storage is full? Why do I pay Apple for storage?

  I bought a used iPhone 4S about six months ago. Got an AT & T plan with data. Not upgrade to iOS 9.3 I read that it wasn't a good idea for older phones. Implement iCloud for ONLY mail and SMS. No pictures. I have cut my weekly mail.

  Now, I get a notice that iCloud is already full, and I have to pay for more storage. Why? There is nothing on the phone! I also have an iPad3 and a banal ASUS PC, which is where I store my photos and my photos. How would you complete the storage? Why do I pay Apple more money? They do not have enough?

  Go to settings/general/storage and use iCloud. Click on storage management in the ICLOUD section. It will tell you exactly how your iCloud-storage space is affected.

• Recently bought a laptop computer; A few questions about the offer Upgrade to Windows 8

  I have a few questions about the Upgrade of Windows 8 offer for new computers.  I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite S855-S5268 of amazon.com, which came with Windows 7 Home Premium.  Toshiba already has a beta version of drivers and utilities for Windows 8 for the S855 on their Web site.

  (1) I bought my laptop in July of this year, and I've not yet registered for 8 Windows Upgrade offer with Microsoft.  Am I still eligible to receive the upgrade, if I sign up soon?
  (2) if I buy the upgrade through this offer, I'll be able to download an ISO file so I can burn the installation media, or do I need to upgrade to Windows 7?
  (3) if I will be able to burn the installation media, I'll be able to erase my hard drive and do a clean install of Windows 8 (which I'd rather do, I have a lot of backups of my data).  I am aware that I would probably need to provide my product key Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM during the new installation, because it is an upgrade and not a full version; This isn't a big deal, because my Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM product key is stuck at the bottom of my laptop.
  (4) my current copy of Windows 7 is activated by seeing my BIOS (I have a traditional BIOS, not a UEFI).  If I had to switch to Windows 8 and decide then I'd rather back in Windows 7, for example, a few months later, I'll be able to do that (I burned recovery of Windows 7 with the Toshiba utility disks, which I did), and Windows 7 will continue to activate by seeing my BIOS, even after the installation (and later remove) Windows 8?
  Thank you very much!

  (1) I bought my laptop in July of this year, and I've not yet registered for 8 Windows Upgrade offer with Microsoft.  Am I still eligible to receive the upgrade, if I sign up soon?

   

  Yes, the registration period is between June 2, 2012 to January 31, 2013.

  (2) if I buy the upgrade through this offer, I'll be able to download an ISO file so I can burn the installation media, or do I need to upgrade to Windows 7?

   

  Yes, the Upgrade Wizard of Windows 8 will allow you to create a bootable DVD or you can grab the ESD file and save it.

  (3) if I will be able to burn the installation media, I'll be able to erase my hard drive and do a clean install of Windows 8 (which I'd rather do, I have a lot of backups of my data).  I am aware that I would probably need to provide my product key Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM during the new installation, because it is an upgrade and not a full version; This isn't a big deal, because my Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM product key is stuck at the bottom of my laptop.

   

  Yes and there are better ways to reinstall Windows 8 without using the installation disc, you can use the reset and refresh.

   

   

  These steps will take you through refreshing your PC:

  · Press the Windows key + C on your keyboard to show the charms (if you use a touch screen: touch the right edge of your screen and drag your finger to the left)

  · Click settings

  · Click change PC settings

  · Click general in the left column

  · Under refresh your PC without affecting your files, click Start

  Then follow the instructions that will be provided on-screen to cool your PC.

  (4) my current copy of Windows 7 is activated by seeing my BIOS (I have a traditional BIOS, not a UEFI).  If I had to switch to Windows 8 and decide then I'd rather back in Windows 7, for example, a few months later, I'll be able to do that (I burned recovery of Windows 7 with the Toshiba utility disks, which I did), and Windows 7 will continue to activate by seeing my BIOS, even after the installation (and later remove) Windows 8?
   
  As long as you have a recovery disk which you should create or use the construction in the recovery partition, Yes, it will self activate.
  Thank you very much!
