  • Re: Satellite A300-1GN - required XP for a long time to start

    Hello

    I have the Satellite A300-1GN.
    I reinstalled from Vista to XP Home.
    After you have installed all the drivers from my system starts more than 4 minutes. I'm on SATA (no AHCI) compatibility mode.
    You have the same problem?

    I can't go because I have the blue screen to AHCI.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    If you have disabled the SATA feature then the HARD drive and the entire operating system can not be used with better performance and this could be the reason why the laptop needs a little more to start.

    But the problem is that if you allow the AHCI in the BIOS, then your operating system would not start and you need to reinstall new OS using the SATA drivers.

    Another reason why Notepad starts slowly could be a large amount of running system process in the context of the BONE.

  • Vista has stopped turning the games run for a long time.

    Vista has stopped turning the games run for a long time. The display would go crazy and the sytem would lock. Gotta make a stop with the power button. No errors are recorded. I re-installed the game. Same thing. I reinstalled Vista 64. Same thing. I get about 3 minutes in the game and then locking the. 1 single game still work (BioShock2). COD - MW2 and COD MW lock the sytem. One is direct install, and the other is the steam. I have a video card Nvidia GTX 280 with the latest drivers from Microsoft. Before the reinstall, I tried to install the most recent NVIDIA. Did not help. Yet the locks without showing error. About half of the time it stops at my off video card a few seconds after that the display goes crazy. BioShock uses DirectX 10, and others use DirectX 11. I read on some sites that 11 causes the video crashes on some systems. I want to know is why 11 is working for so long and stop NOW. Is there a way to make the games all run on 10? COD BlackOPS crashes too. I played ALL these games over and over again until the last 3 weeks. If there was some error to post logs I would but there is not. Any suggestions on where to find some kind of problem that could cause this? The video card was removed, cleaned and put back into the computer. Still crashes. 1 in 4 of the games will take place without any problems. 3 will be blocking of the computer and the video trash in 3 minutes or less to start the game. The video is great, until blocking.

    Suggestions on how to fix or where to additional troubleshooting for the cause will be greatly appreciated.

    Try running the memory and the hard drive scan to make sure that both are good.

    If both check good, the map may be at fault. In which case it is overheating you can manually increase the fan speed in the Nvidia Control Panel.

  • Want Firefox to save your tabs for the next time it starts?

    FF 27.0.1 on Linux Mint XFCE 16, up to date.

    I have my preferences set to "show my home page".

    Whenever I close FF with the X in the upper left corner, he gets up and asks me "do you want Firefox to save your tabs for the next time it starts? I check the box to ask next time and have tried both save and exit and just left. When I open the browser again, it seems to randomly decide to open all the tabs I had last time, or sometimes (rarely) just my home page tabs.

    I don't want to open all the tabs I had open, and I don't want the question whenever I have leave FF. I used FF for years with XP, but I am new to Mint.

    Done setting the prefs 'warnon' on the topic: config false page has an effect any?

    • browser.tabs.warnOnClose
    • browser.tabs.warnOnCloseOtherTabs
    • browser.warnOnQuit

    Make sure that you run not Firefox mode full screen (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Command + SHIFT + F).

    If you are in full screen view then hover over with the mouse to the top of the screen to facilitate the bar appear Navigation and tab bar.
    Click the expand (in the top right Navigation bar) to exit full screen or right-click on a space empty on a toolbar and select "exit full screen" or press the F11 key.

  • I bought a new iPhone 6 s more and told me to load for a long time I did let him charge for 25 hours. Is that going to affect my battery life and what happens if I use it immediately?

    I have a new iPhone, and told me to let it load for a long time. I let it charge for 25 hours. This can affect my life of bacteria? And what happens if I don't use the phone immediately?

    Not at all, you can leave it plugged into the power supply, and it won't hurt the battery. However I am not leaving the phone in a State discharged for a long time. That can hurt so when he approaches zero the load soon.

  • I'm locked out of my ipod5 that I have not used for a long time, it is not connected to the Internet or iTunes is anyway can I unlock?

    I'm locked out of my ipod5 that I have not used for a long time, it is not connected to the Internet or iTunes is anyway can I unlock? In my opinion, it works on IOS8. Because I have not used in a long time, it has reset and does not connect to the wifi until I unlock, and I forgot the password to unlock it. I tried to clear up my iPhone but it requires Internet and iPod can not connect to Internet ithe, I also tried to restore the 'home' button and the lock button while connected to iTunes on my computer and that did not work either... Please let me know if I haven't tried something or have missed something.

    Thank you

    You have to follow the instructions for the erasure or use recovery mode in iTunes again. . You do not specify what happened when you tried to follow these instructions, or instructions for iTunes, which you tried to follow, but you will be able to exit the mode disabled via iTunes if you do not have Wifi:

  • I used even to make the Blurays for a long time, with success, with no problems. Today, on my current project (.iso file estimated size ~ 19 GB) MENUS rendering time is reported as 31 + Hrs. Is this OK, or is there a problem?

    My system: 2013 Mac Pro: Core, 64 GB of Ram, two GPU of D700 12 / 3GB. I was creating an ISO image file using ENCORE 6. I am currently using the latest ADOBE CC system.

    The menu on which rendering takes a while has three normal buttons linking to 3 first videos produced. The menu has a long file AUDIO (about 90 minutes) as an attachment.

    After letting the rendering process to continue for 4 hours, on the audit of the progress window, progress bars seemed not to be ahead. I waited 2 + hours of overtime and checked again. Progress bars have been in the same place (no deposit). Activity monitor showed that still was still running. At this point, I cancelled the task. Then, I wanted to just MAKE THE MENUS. It is currently running for the 95 + last minutes. Details 'Render' reported ~29.5+ hours as TIME REMAINING. The number of processed IMAGES currently shows ~ 27000 + showing as 169065 in total. The meter for executives of the ongoing transformation to increment of the above stated figure of snapshot of 27000.

    I think that maybe I should let it continue to operate at the end (i.e. 30 hours of rendering time, if all goes well). Is - this sound NORMAL?

    Any advice will be appreciated.

    Never tried such an audio file for a long time. Are you sure that there is no video movement in this menu?

    What format is the audio file?

  • When I select recently bookmarked it works ok, but when I select unsorted bookmarks it opens a window not closing cycles for a long time.and I want to close the window manually and not automatically

    When I use the selection recently marked with a bookmark in bookmarks, it works very well and load the page quickly and opens another window. but when I go to unsorted bookmarks and double-click on the desired bookmark it loads very slowly and cycles for a long time. If I go to the firefox icon in the Launcher on natty 11.04 with unity it shows two open windows. I click on the unsorted Bookmarks window and manually stop and it works well and unordered finishes, loading the bookmark page I was trying to see. Why the unsorted Bookmarks window closes on its own? Is there a setting I can do close automatically. It really slows down the loading of the page, I tried to see. well thank you for any help or advice.

    Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

    See basic troubleshooting: make a new profile:

    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "tools > Modules > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.

    If this new profile works then you can transfer files from the old profile to the new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

  • Hi all, I need a little help to try to solve a problem of updating Bios for a long time.

    I downloaded the new update of the Bios on the HP site. But when I try to install the update, the process goes up to only while it presents me with an error. Any help would be appreciated, I am trying to upgrade the Bios for the new firmware in order to perform a better processor. Thank you...

    Error code: 3033

    "GoTo" label not found

    on line 89 of w:\patches\i...ate\windows\installer.wbt

    My system is...

    Compaq Presario SR1339uk

    Serial number: CZB5050HBW

    System number: PS267AA

    Motherboard: Asus PTGD1 - LA

    BIOS version: 3.13 12/14/04

    Operating system: Windows XP Home Edition

    Not sure what's going on here, but here is a suggestion on how to properly install manually the update of the BIOS.

    Assume that you download SP26760.exe (BIOS 3.28)

    Start the update - go to the last message you get before it fails and stop. (must be where it prompts you to close the applications and will be saved).

    Open a DOS (command prompt).    You must be an administrator - so if you're running Vista or Win7 - make sure that 'run as administrator ' at the opening of the box.

    Once in the BACK, type:

    CD FOLDER

    go the the directory of temporary files.

    Then make a

    DIR /S 328.LE ROM

    to find the directory where the update files are located.    Type CD < directory name > to go in this directory (on my system, it was a folder called pft467D.tmp, but it might be different on your)

    CD pft467D.tmp

    Now manually invoke (the prompt back, no windows or the windows file manager) the update, with the appropriate switches.  By omitting the switches can cause other problems, as have reported activation of Windows problems.

    AFUWIN /i328. ROM /pbc

    For reference, on my system, here's what I saw in these folders:

    C:\Users\sumsolstice\AppData\Local\Temp\pft467D.tmp > dir

    Volume in drive C is DRIVE_C
    Volume serial number is FE8F-4AA6

    Directory of C:\Users\sumsolstice\AppData\Local\Temp\pft467D.tmp

    21/02/2006 18:08 526 374 Installer.exe

    C:\Users\sumsolstice\AppData\Local\Temp\pft467D.tmp > AFUWIN i328.rom /pbc

    It should work OK, however no guarantee if there's something else - but essentially - that's what the installer should do.   If this does not work for you - I wouldn't try to force things - you can make a good motherboard unusable quickly.

    For those who are looking to this announcement - the syntax is for this motherboard only - switches may be different for different motherboards.

    Good luck.!
