  • How can I configure my computer to boot from the CD Rom drive

    I have Windows 7 home version and I have a problem with booting from the cd rom.  I did a cd bootable for a work at home job, but it will not work properly.  It works fine on the desktop of my sister, but not my laptop.  What is happening is the CD loads when I restart my computer, but then it goes to a black screen and just stays there until I have eject the CD.  I can hear the CD running, but I get nothing after the initial splash screen.  I have reset the bios to make sure that the CD-Rom was placed up in the boot parameters.  Any ideas why this CD will not completely loaded?  Thanks for any help you can give.

    Please note, in order to install Windows 7, you must have a DVD player, if you have a CD-ROM drive, which will not work.

  • How can I configure my computer to run an application using only a specified quantity of my carrots?

    OK, I have a game called Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. The game does not use more than 2 cores, the problem is when I start the game without going through the Task Manager and manually set its priority to 2 hearts my usual game show on my screen, it will be black so I have to run the Task Manager to force the game to close. So what I'm saying is that whenever I want to play the game or launch the application, I have to open the Task Manager, find the game or application, and then right-click to set the number of cores in the processor to use and sound really get some tires. I was wondering if there was a way to instruct your computer to use only 2 cores at the launch of this game. I have Window 7 Home Premium, 8 GB of RAM and a graphics card in Asus R9 280.

    Some cpu overclocking tools have a basic framework of cpu, and you can make a profile for these games, which limits the number of cores. In the past I've used used AMD OC tool for this.

    -If your cpu is Hyper-threading, try disabling Hyper-threading technology.

    -J' saw a few messages about this game, but don't remember any specific game fixed and did not

    heard of him having a problem with quad core cpu.  I have no problem with a quad core cpu with AMD Phenom 965 or Intel 3570 KOTR.

    It is installed without using any sort of compatibility settings. I'm surprised I didn't even

    fixes, or patches. It seems to work without the CD, if you use the StarWars - KOTR.exe spot

    of the LaunchKOTR.exe as well.

    He has run correctly on GTX560ti, GTX770, HD7970 and Intel HD4000 chart, but I don't have

    reminder if she had a little problem with running in a window with pilots earlier or not. Probably not as

    the same happens when you use the Intel HD4000 graphics.

    I just found (rediscovered?) that the game always starts in windowed mode

    (there is no option of mode in the settings or .ini however), but if I change the resolution

    It goes full screen in one of the other options 1280 x 1024 (there are three of what appear to be the same resolution and refresh speed settings).

    When you use two Intel HD 4000 graphics the graphics settings are also not available.

    [EDIT: my machine with the PhenomII965/GTX560ti doesn't have this problem of windowed mode.]

    It is quite rare for games to have real issues with quad core cpu.  Fallout 3 is the most recent

    I met (Yes not nearly as old as KOTR), and it took a change in the configuration file

    in order to limit to two hearts.

    I also had a couple of games that are configured to run on a single core at the Phenom 965 CPU usage at the time.

    I used the AMD OC tool to create a profile with all but a core disabled, for each of these games.

    -I do not use a parameter core with any games ATM, but some games running on

    my machine with Intel processor and 770 a short while back only works on atm HD4000 Intel

    (Memory, they were OK with the HD7970, using the version of the driver 13.9 or 13.12?) ).

    Games that only work with Intel HD graphics card on the machine with the GTX770, always works on my machine with a PhenomII 965 and GTX560ti. Go figure...

  • How can I configure my computer stops at a specific time?

    I know that I can set up Parental controls for other users, but I would like to be able to set a time limit so that the computer turns off. Is this possible?

    Thank you for your helpful suggestions.

    Loretta

    You can create a scheduled task that runs at a specific time every day. Its command line would be like this:

    stop, s, f, t 300
    The command will generate a group of pop up at the specified time, and then shut the computer down to 300 seconds (= 5 minutes) later. For information about how to create a scheduled task, click Start, click Help, then look for help on the scheduled task. When you create the task, make sure that it is running under the account 'System '. Initially, you must specify a time of 15 minutes now so that you can test the task shortly after it is created.
    If you find it intimidating to create a scheduled task then here is a simpler method:
    1 log in under an administrator account.
    2. click on the start planet.
    3. type the three letters cmd in the search box.
    4. press on Ctrl + Shift + Enter
    5. click on "run as Administrator".
    6. type the following commands and press ENTER after each:
    -22:00 / every: m, t, w, e, f, s, su shutdown.exe/s/f/t 300
