Get the new laptop, what to do with my old

I have a Compaq Presario CQ 60 2008. It is short-term memory. Technical Support function, I need to upgrade my laptop at least 8 GB of memory. If I do this, will it put something else to manage the memory upgrade?

According to the post, I have read here, being my OS was oringinally XP, upgrade to Windows 7 with Microsoft and is a 32-bit... I understand that it will only move to 4 GB. But support says that I need 8GB.

It's old and nearlly complete. I do not know how to clean 3 years of studies to it. I have a backup disk. (15 CD)

I probably just need a new, but what I do with this old? It always works well.

I'm a nursing student full time I'm going to need a lot of ram to our interactive graphic software.

Can anyone provide a bit of advice well informed as to what I should do?

If I update, what do I need to upgrade in addition to memory.

If I buy a new one, what should I do with this one because it still works well. ?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Hello

Interactive graphical software, I think that you need a better graphics card in your system more than anything else. 8 GB memory minimum is recommended however. I don't know if your processor is large enough for these tasks too.

Windows 7 32 bit can use up to ~3.75gb so upgrade up to 4 GB of RAM, is profitable.
If you need to use 8 GB, you must install 64-bit Windows 7 (you can install Windows 7 64 bit with the same authentic product key, you used to install the 32 bit OS, you just need ISO file Windows 7 64 bit to make the Windows installation disc)

You didn't on your laptop - exact model number, the name of the template?

If the cost of doing all these upgrade is superior to the performance's will offer its do better with laptop cheap with many more performance box. That you have to search and find.

Rather than burn your data & other files on CD, I suggest you just buy an external hard drive. You can get 500 GB, 1 TB of external hard drives ($70).

    Thank you

    Firefox Home was removed from management, while the new sync system has been developed, so no, it will not work with the new system. However, we are currently working on a new product for iOS, which will be able to sync with Firefox in the future using the new system.

    As is the case, update your Firefox to the new synchronization method (synchronize your bookmarks from Firefox, history, passwords, etc.).

  • Can not get the new laptop to connect to my wireless network but connects to others

    I have just bought a new laptop Dell Inspiron 1545 to Dell.com and have tried to set up the wireless internet for the past hours. The laptop running Windows Vista Home Basic Edition, & my wireless router is an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station (about 4-5 years). Below is a list of problems / advice I've come across so far:

    (1) when trying to connect to a network, my network don't appears in the list of local networks sporadically even if she lost the signal strength of any nearby wireless signal (I must refresh the list to make it appear sometimes)
    (2) when my network is displayed in the list, it is described as a network that is not secure; There are 2 others that come and go in the list that are also not guaranteed, but I was able to connect through one of them.
    (3) when I try to connect via my network it either says unable to connect immediately or poster progress bar, then after a minute or two, says that it cannot connect.
    -to diagnose the problem, I can exclude is not not in the range of my camera as I tried to connect when I'm 2 feet more far
    -It also says view wireless connections again and try again, but this brings me to the same screen
    -L' diagnostics screen mentions that "the network is"hidden"and is either not in range of this computer or wireless settings on this computer do not match the settings of the network." (is there a setting I'm familiar with that?)
    (4) I checked device drivers and all said that they are working correctly
    (5) I can connect to the internet via a direct connection to the router via a cable ethernet not wireless

    In my view, that it is all the information I can provide about this problem. If you need more information, such as the specifications of the system, let me know where to find them and I will re-post. Thanks in advance for any help provided.

    -Jeremy

    Well, it looks like the old router was the problem. You have a new N Wireless for about $80 as suggested and it works like a charm. At took 5 seconds for your laptop to recognize and connect to it and were without problems since then. Thanks again for the help guys... I hope that I won't bother you again =)

  • Problem with scanning from the new laptop with Windows 8

    I have a Photosmart C4480 all-in-One printer/scanner/copier.  Since getting my new laptop, I have problems with the analysis feature.  I installed the software CD, and think I have downloaded the drivers for this printer.

    Indicates the serial number found on the bottom: model of regulation SNPRB-0721

    I hope you have a resolution for me.

    Thank you!!!

    I've found a workaround.  If I used Windows software to scan, it works correctly.  It works just not when I use the button on the printer itself.

    You can install it on as many machines as you want.  You are limited to be able to have only two machines activated at any given time.  You can sign in and out at the need to activate different machines.  If you try to connect to a third machine, while two other machines are already concluded then you will be asked if you wish to have the two disconnected to allow one to be signed again.

    I do not know. The answer depends on what's wrong with the old.

    Can I do this using a USB Flash drive?

    # If you can not start the old laptop, you cannot transfer files from it

    If the problem with the old laptop isn't that hard drive has
    has failed (and that's a big 'if'), you can pull the hard drive.
    and get an external USB enclosure. Having done this, you can read
    It is on the new laptop and copy files from it.

    never had a disc of windows vista with the new laptop and no option to make a recovery disk, and I need to format my laptop to factory / clean, help!

    How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their way of doing recovery disk/s.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  • Constant BSOD with the new laptop computer

    I bought a laptop Dell L521X are three or four weeks ago, and since then have had difficulties with the projection of thing regularly blue on me at arbitrary points. Those initial seemed to result from McAfee LiveSafe who settled on the laptop so I uninstalled this and these people arrested. However, since then he has been giving me an error called DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE he says is caused by ntoskrnl.exe. Blue screens seem to happen arbitrarily and not because of anything specific I'm doing on the laptop. It will almost always crash when it is in "standby", however, and a few times he broke down while I'm closing. I updated both drivers and BIOS, hoping that would solve the problem but neither helped. I thought that it could be a hardware problem but all the Dell diagnostics, I came back with nothing. I've been futzing with the thing for a while now trying to figure out what it is but I'm stumped. If someone wants to look at the crash dump files I the downloaded in a zip here: [x]

    I really want to fix this because I don't want to take over the laptop. I bought the thing because I had problems with my old, and here I will once more in trouble with the new! I hope you guys can help me. Thank you!

    This indicates that a kernel-mode driver attempted to access pageable memory with a high IRQL.

    A driver tried to access a pageable (or that is completely invalid) address while the IRQL was too high. This bug check is usually caused by drivers who used a wrong address.

    Gah... I suspected that this software to be a problem, but I wanted to be sure before recommending removal. Sunbelt Firewall is originally NETBIOS conflicts, I see quite often. It is quite problematic software (IMO), so I would remove as soon as POSSIBLE.

    Hello

    For future reference, these are VISTA forums you want on the new laptops in.

    I suggest other questions about these laptops you ask in the correct Forums.

    Here are the General options of relocation for you:

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

    See you soon.
