Compaq Presario CQ57: My Compaq is slow and I want to make it faster
I have an AMD C - 50 1 GHz processor
and 2.00 GB of memory
I would like to at least 1.6 GHz and 8 GB of ram
Is it possible to do?
Yes I agree that you can not count on this material for any important computing chores. Unfortunately, the AMD processors are soldered to the motherboard and there is no upgrade worth discussing. It's just a very low effective series of laptops. Here is the Manual:
See page 19 for a list of motherboards.
My best advice is not to sink money into it, except perhaps an increase of 4 gigas of RAM would be profitable. The manual shows how to do it and what you need. But the best advice is to sell it and buy something more powerful.

in 2012, I bought a package of cs6 - now my computer is running slow and I want to delate everything on it. If I delete the package I bought from adobe, can I download it again?
Hello
You can install and activate the perpetual software (purchased) two computers of the same type (mac or pc), as long as you use it on one at a time. (lightroom is the exception because it is a product of multi platform, so it can be installed on the pc and mac platforms)
For deactivation refer:- https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activate-deactivate-products.html
To download please visit:-applications download Creative Suite 6
Hope this helps!

I bought a new PC and re-uploaded the plan of photography after signed in Adobe CC with my credentials.

Slow Equuim A200 - how to make it faster?
Help!
My Equium A200 went really slow. Get messages don't respondents on the internet.
Even typing is very slow. I m not very knowledgable about computers but do not follow security updates.
Please help me if there is anything I can do.There are many options to make Windows faster.
I can give you some examples:1. check the msconfig: start = > run = > msconfig.
At startup, you can see all programs that have started with Notepad. Remove the tick from the programs, they should not start with Windows.2 defragment your HARD disk: click my computer = > right click the disk HARD = > properties = > tools = > defragment now.
Defragmentation is a process that reduces the level of fragmentation in file systems.
What operating system (operating system) do you use? If you are using Windows Vista, install the SP1. If you use Windows XP, install SP2 or SP3.In my opinion Windows OneCare is not really good. Choose another suite of security. I use for many years Kaspersky. I never had problems with it and the system runs fast.
To check how much RAM you have, make right click on my computer = > properties and there you can see.
If everything does not help you, you must reinstall Windows with the Toshiba recovery image. All the drivers and tools are particularly.
But if you do so, back up your data first. The HARD drive will be erased. -
Hello
I bought an air iMac, and now I would like to make a backup of my iPhone on this computer.
but the question is, if I do not have the backup that I did before, it is possible that I lost my dates?
because the computer I had entered is not an iMac.
Thank you

Hello Francesca Montani,.
Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.
Congratulations on your new iMac! I understand from your message that you want to create a backfile to your iPhone 5 c, but are afraid of losing the data on it. I know how it is important for you to keep your data on your iPhone 5 c and to create a backup file for it.
When you plug your iPhone 5 c in your new iMac, iTunes should open. Your iPhone 5 c should also receive a message asking if you trust the computer. Go ahead and trust of the computer.
iTunes should display a page that says: Welcome to iTunes and you give 2 options. You want to choose the option to play up like new. Don't worry, it will not erase anything from your iPhone. The next page, you should see if the page summary of the iPhone. You should see a picture of an iPhone and a description.
In the middle of the right side, you should see a section called manually backup and restore. To create a backup file, select Back Up Now. This article has steps and a picture to help you create an iTunes up. I have also highlighted the steps below:
The backup of your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch
iTunes
- Open iTunes and connect your device to your computer.
- If a message asks you to Trust This Computer or device password, follow the steps on the screen. If you have forgotten your password, get help.
- Select your iPad, iPhone or iPod when it appears in iTunes. If your device does not appear in iTunes, know what to do.
- If you want to save data of health and activity of your device iOS or Apple Watch, you must encrypt your backup: check the box called Encrypt [device] backup and create a memorable password.
Write down your password and store it somewhere safe, because there is no way to recover your backups iTunes without this password.
If you do not need to save your health data and activity, you can make a backup that is not encrypted. Just click Back Up Now. - After the end of the process, you can see if your backup completed successfully in the iTunes preferences > devices. You should see the name of your device with the date and time that iTunes created the backup. If you encrypted your backup, you should also see next to the name of your device.
Best regards

Hello
On the help page for Firefox reset to original settings, he suggests going to the top of the page and clicking on Firefox (orange icon). Unfortunately, I can't find this header that would lead me to the help page for resetting.
Make sure that you run not Firefox mode full screen (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Command + SHIFT + F).
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).
- Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode without failure.

I import a jpg for a logo. It has a white background and I want to make transparent
I tried to use the functionality of the Magic Eraser, and it seems to work in what displays on the screen, but when I save it as a PSD or JPG the background is always white.
To make this work you must convert the background into a normal layer layer so that it will support transparency. Simply slide the lock to the trash.
When you save the file, you must save in a format that supports transparency as a psd, tiff, or png. Jpg does not support transparency and will result in a white background anywhere it should be transparent.

Compaq Presario CQ57-445EQ: recovery of the BIOS Compaq Presario CQ57 445EQ
So I got this Compaq Presario CQ57-445EQ with Windows 7 and 4 GB of ram. Last night I tried to upgrade the BIOS of the first version (2008) to the last (2015) and he got bricks. During the upgrade, it got stuck for 30 minutes and I had to reboot. Now it is black screen, caps lock shift will blink twice every 2 seconds. I tried to recover from USB with sp55356 and sp64612 but no luck.
I should mention that Win + B, Fn + B, Fn + Esc combinations is not the tone of the laptop, but it shows a USB activity.
What can I do? Bios versions are .fd files.
Thanks in advance!
Not that I know of.
You may need to purchase recovery media usb to your laptop to HP or HP partner.
