    Hi Hamid390,

    This problem occurs when the computer has exhausted all the four primary partitions in the table to partition of the boot drive. An extended partition takes a prime location, in order to have three primary partitions and an extended partition would also cause this problem.

    Start the computer from a startup disk Ghost rather than a Ghost virtual Partition. You can use the Ghost boot Wizard to create a Standard Ghost Book disc for this purpose.

    Repartition this disk. If you re-partition the drive, make sure that you create backups of your data before doing so.

    First start by going to system-> startup disk preferences and select your startup disk.  Sometimes after an update OS X startup disk becomes unselected for the firmware needs to address each possible boot device, including USB, SD card, DVD, network, etc... and wait before Timeout interface moves the next possible candidate.

    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...)
    5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

    You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

    Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

    -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
    -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
    -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
    -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
    -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
    -Click OK.
    -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
    -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

  • How can I speed up my pc

    Hello

    How can I speed up my pc

    I have a hard drive divided into two, the first of has only about 200 mb stiil franco start 20 GB

    Anyone know where I could buy the necessary things to speed up my PC

    IE makes PC World, sell and install everything that can speed up a pc

    Adam

    200 DIMC is small enough and will likely cause your computer down.

    That being said, 20 concerts is also low.

    My first suggestion is to create a free account on the microsoft skydrive site.

    then download files in your 'My documents' folder, then remove them from the hard drive.

    In doing so, you can temporarily give your computer more disk space hard until you upgrade your system.

    the next thing to do is to consider adding a hard drive to the system as a slave drive.

    In doing so, you will not have to reinstall the operating system and it can still remain on your system drive, i.e. master hard drive.

    You can shop for hard drives in places like bestbuy, compusa, newegg and tigerdirect and microcenter.

    my suggestion is do not go overboard with the size of the hard drive if your just an ordinary computer user.   a hard drive between 80 will be ok for you.

    In addition, you might want to add ram memory to your computer.  my suggestion is to have about 1 GB of memory on your computer.  so if you have 512 MB of ram installed, then add another 512 meg's chip to the motherboard.  the two circuits will be equal to 1,024 concerts.

    Finally, you can consider adding a graphics card in the motherboard.   This will give you your computer extra power with high graphics and video.

    check your computer manual or look at the online manual for your computer model to its Web site of the manufacturer for the technical aspects of the motherboard on the types of ram memory is required and types of slots you have for graphics on board to fit.

    but you can probably give service customer of your model number before ordering and buying their products.   in this way, they can be sure that the hard ware you order will be compatible with your computer.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

    Note: select Safe mode with network.

    Step 2: If the question does not persist in SafeMode with network, then put the computer to boot and check what third-party application's driver is causing the problem:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: after a repair, be sure to configure the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

  • How can I speed up my internet connection?

    How can I speed up my internet connection?

    Hi vatsrajiv,

    If you have problems with your internet connection speed you better communicate with your suppliers of Internet services (ISP) technical support team. Internet high speed is governed by many factors, including your distance from your PBX and the time of day, you use the internet. If you're more than a mile from your phone (I think) Exchange and then speed will be reduced due to degradation of the signal. Yet here in the United Kingdom, resulting speeds are advertised as 8 MB and above (up to 20 or more in some areas), however, in reality, you are lucky to get an average speed of 2.5 to 4 MB on an 8 MB line.

    Another factor is the time of day you access internet. Peak your ISP is likely to "cap" of the connection speed. In other words, more people using your lower ISP connection speed system. Another factor is whether a "router" is declining in some parts of the world where your ISP traffic fell through. Also, this may cause more slow responses of the web pages. Yesterday, I visited a webpage which, under normal conditions, takes about 15 seconds to load. On this occasion, it took more than 70 seconds to load.

    You also don't say if you are using broadband or dial-up connection services. While we always assume that everyone has broadband is not always the case. Remote connections are still alive and well in many parts of the countryside, especially those. A dial is notoriously slow compared to broadband by default.

    You can check your ISP website and check their "State of the line" to see if they have problems. If all goes well, it might be useful to contact your ISP and get them to check your phone line, just in case where there is a problem with your telephone line or even your router if you are on broadband.

    There is no way to speed up the downloads.  Download speeds are dependent on your ISP and the package that you have with them.  If you don't have a fast connection speed or fast package, you will get faster speeds of the upgrade of your Internet service provider Package.
