  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.
  3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
  4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)

• Clock ticking

  We have all seen the old clock rotation expression where you create a rotation of the second hand and then tie the minute hand to the rotation with an expression while he moves to 1/60th speed to simulate the minutes and seconds right?

  I am creating something similar but with a clock "Ticking" like a timex watch on the second hand so it ticks along. Tick, tick, tick, tick instead of smooth rotation. I discovered that the use of this expression related to the rotation:

  var tick = time * 6;

  Math.Floor (Tick)

  But what I want to do now is to have the tick of the minute hand (separate layer) more than 6 degrees every minute. In other words, he holds 59 seconds and then jumps 6 degrees in 1 second.

  I can't understand this part. Any ideas?

  Thank you

  You need the right SATA drivers. You can find the right SATA files in the Intel Matrix Storage Manager, which can be downloaded from the Intel page.
  Notes; There are different packages that supports different chipsets.

  After the right SATA driver was selected, you can use the freeware software called nLite to build a new XP CD and include SATA files.

• Satellite L750 slow to load windows

  Hi, I have a Toshiba Satellite L750/L755, and I had some problems starting windows after you use the tool/toshiba recovery disk

  So, this is what happened:

  I reached the maximum capacity on the C: drive, so I started data transfer to D: drive that was too slow, so I cancelled, it is when the computer froze and I had to stop it manually.

  I could not turn it back on so I used the "toshiba recovery" tool to make it back on, it worked; the problem is that the computer toke half forever to complete loading of windows, so I reused the "toshiba recovery tool" and ended the same. I also tried to run a repair of the registry, check the volume errors, nothing seems to work.

  I welcome any help

  Thank you

  Hello

  I understand this correctly? Notepad starts very slowly. Right?
  From my own experience, a lot of different process begins when the laptop starts.
  You can check the msconfig-> Startup tab

  In many cases, these are Toshiba processes that control the characteristics of different laptops and multimedia keys, FN keys, energy ECO-mode, etc.
  Also antivirus software slowing down the boot process.
  What antivirus software do you use?

  I use the avast! and the Avira antivir software. Both can be downloaded for free.
  I have remove the Symantec Norton Antivirus software preinstalled, because it needs a lot of resources and slow down my laptop extremely.

• Satellite U400 - slow connection on Windows 7

  Hello
  I use Satellite U400.

  And I can't install wireless driver I do not know why. I opened the file and it will not just install, but I still think I have the latest drivers for my wireless network.
  but my serious question was: why do I drop and limit the bandwidth with windows 7, but not with Windows XP?

  I have 1Mbps but example I want to download firefox I go to their site and then it shows between 50 and 70 KB/s, but sometimes it happens to my high normal max 120 Kb/s, and on google, I saw that a lot of people have this problem.

  And sometimes some site are not loading or I just got error because of the good slow sites Web just disable: (, never happened before.

  Please someone help - suggestions please?

  Hello

  I doubt it has something to do with Windows 7
  In my view, it must be a driver issue or use other WLAN settings?

  So first make sure that this latest WLAN driver is installed. After that, check the version of your BIOS. Here, you must also use the latest version of Toshiba.

  If you are using a firewall, you must disable. Maybe it s blocking your internet connection

• niSwitch_init very slow on new Windows 7 PC

  I have 4 SCXI-1127 cards connected to an SCXI-100 chassis with a USB interface.

  I am using VBA in Excel.

  On our old PC XP, the niSwitch_init command would run in 1-2 seconds per card.

  On the new windows 7 PC, this command takes about 8-10 seconds per card. Alternatively, about 30-40 seconds for the 4 cards.

  the exact commands that I use are:

  status = niSwitch_init ("SC1MOD1", VI_TRUE,
  VI_TRUE, card1)

  status =
  niSwitch_init ("SC1MOD2", VI_TRUE, VI_TRUE, map 2)

  status =
  niSwitch_init ("SC1MOD3", VI_TRUE, VI_TRUE, card3)

  status =
  niSwitch_init ("SC1MOD4", VI_TRUE, VI_TRUE, 4)

  If something has changed in the version of Windows 7 niSwitch?

  What could be causing it?

  The following commands to the switch are running at the same time as before. It's onlt the command niSwitch_init which is slow.

  Thank you

  Hello Phil,

  Thank you for your response. The KB shows OR-Switch 4.2 (and later versions) because the problem will be resolved with the release of these drivers. However, the OR-Switch 4.2 official release date has not announced yet. At this point, the best work around workaround would be to enable the HPET on your Windows 7 system.

• just bought ghostbusters game pc, but it is very slow on my WINDOWS VISTA Home premium... of suggestions?

  I installed the game ghostburters on windows vista Home premium with service Pack 1 and it runs very slowly, I tried the upgrade a few things bo nothing helps.

  whay can I do to improve the speed?

  Well, that may depend on how fast your computer is.  Games have the system requirements listed on the box or the Web site that you downloaded from.  Your computer should generally be at or better than the recommended settings.  Otherwise games will run slowly or not work.  If the game runs slow, in general, you can buy a graphics card faster to make it go more quickly, but it depends greatly on this kind of material you have in your computer now.
