• How can I make my computer run more efficiently?

  Hello

  Okay, so I asked recently how I could make my computer faster. I have a Compaq Presario SR1601NX with HP ha17 monitor. It runs Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 3. I installed CCleaner and Defraggler on my computer. I use CCleaner at least twice a week, especially after using the internet. I also run Defraggler at least twice a month. In addition, I have Microsoft Security Essentials, that I keep up to date, as I do with Windows Firewall, automatic updates and Virus protection. I went through and remove all programs that I don't use, and I run chkdsk, find no problem. After you run CCleaner and Defraggler, my computer seems a bit faster. However, after some time, it is once more quite slow. Anyone know anything else I can do to make my computer run faster and more efficiently. I don't want to clutter up my machine with random programs. I'm also looking for things I can do for free. I prefer to buy a new computer than to invest money in my only current. It is just better to buy a new one? If so, what kind of computer should I get in? Any information will be greatly appreciated.

  CCleaner is a program to eliminate the stuff that you don't need, and so
  save you disk space; It really doesn't do anything to improve
  performance. Maybe defragment the hard drive can speed things up
  some, but how effective is it is depends on how you use your computer.

  With very few exceptions, all the programs that are designed to speed up your
  computer is nothing but snake oil powder and are likely to be a problem.
  I recommend that avoid you them like the plague.

  Without a lot more details, it is very difficult to know what is causing your
  problem, but maybe you run modern software and your former
  Material XP - era is really too slow for her.
  With Windows XP support this ending coming April, purchase a new
  computer and run the latest version of Windows (Windows 8)
  probably makes the most sense. It will give you a modern material and a
  supported Windows version.

• How can I make the computer sleep after 5 minutes of inactivity on the logon screen?

  Original title: How to sleep in the login screen?

  How can I make the computer sleep after 5 minutes of inactivity on the logon screen? Currently, on the login screen, white screen, but the computer is still running. Sleeping would save a lot of energy because the computer is used most of the time.

  Hi Phil.Ganchev,
   
  Using a laptop or a desktop computer?
   
  The reason for this question is, if you have a plugged AC adapter you must set power accordingly as opposed to laptop settings battery operated.
   
  I suggest you head over to the power settings and create your own power management.
   
  a. power by clicking on the Start button, open the Options click on the Control Panel, clicking system and security, and then clicking Power Options.
  
  (b) according to the plan you want to change, click on change plan settings.
  
  c. on the parameters of change in the plan page, choose "Put the computer to sleep" that you want to use when your computer is running on battery (if applicable) and when it is plugged.
  (Change in 5 minutes for the batteries and sector)

• What can I safely dsiable in the configuration of the system to make the computer faster?

  I'm disabling certain programs to make my computer faster to boot. which of these can I disable safely?

  hpsysdrv Application
  Intel(r) Common User Interface
  Intel(r) Common User Interface
  Intel(r) Common User Interface
  Google update
  Pronto
  hpwuSchd Application
  Norton Online Backup
  Full PDF
  The Logitech camera software
  Java (TM) Platform SE Auto updater 2 0
  Adobe Reader and Acrobat Manager
  PowerReg

  Be very careful that you disable.  I must say that I have disabled the update of Google because it was a real pain he having to download updates on a daily basis.  These Adobe updates are a pain as well, and if you miss a couple of them, it will not be a big deal.  Complete PDF and Logitech camera software updates should be safe to turn off, but I doubt if that would save a lot.  Be sure to not very many changes at once so that if something goes wrong, you have a good idea of what caused it.

  Good luck.

• replacement ram: will be a CT12864BA1339 Crucial 1 GB PC3-10600 DDR3 DIMM 240 - pin make my computer faster?

  will be a CT12864BA1339 Crucial 1 GB 240 - PIN DDR3 DIMM PC3-10600
  Memory module (ram) works for a dell dimension 3000?

  and he will make my computer go faster?

  It is absolutely essential that any new module of RAM is fully compatible with both the motherboard and/or any other module of RAM already in the system.  In addition, there are sometimes jumper switches on old motherboards that need to be reset for new configurations of the RAM.  Consult the manual of your motherboard or the web site of the manufacturer for specific instructions and compatibility requirements.

  If you can't get your hands on the manual of the computer and the manufacturer does not provide a support web site, you can use these utilities to help determine the right kind of RAM required:

  In addition, memory Crucial (www.crucial.com) website has a database to help find the right RAM for your specific brand and model computer or the motherboard.  (By the way, Crucial is the only company I have ever buy RAM.)  I've never been disappointed.)

• How can I make another computer my main computer for the use of synchronization

  my main computer is going to be one that generates change tabs and bookmarks. When I first
  set up synchronization I used a secondary computer, not realizing that this would be the primary computer. How can I change
  the status of computers. now merged all my data I need to clean and maintain to
  the new main computer. Thank you Miles

  Check the synchronization options when you used before Sync and you want to keep the data previously stored on the server.

  • Click on the "Synchronization Options" button at the bottom to select which, for synchronization (Sync Options only affect the first synchronization)

  Select this if you want to restore the data from the server:

  • "Replace all data on this device with my sync data".

• HOW CAN I MAKE MY COMPUTER BURN CDS AGAIN?

  I TRIED TO BURN CD, BUT FOR SOME REASON ANY, WHENEVER I HAVE IT TRY STARTS TO BURN, BUT THEN I GET AN X NEXT TO ALL THE SONGS AND THE ERROR MESSAGE ME SAID TO TRY TO CLEAN THE CD USING A NEW ONE OR DO BURN AT A LOWER SPEED AND I ALREADY DID ALL THAT BUT IT STILL THE SAME OR SOMETIMES WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER STOPS ON ITS OWN OR IT ME SAID CONNECT A BURNER AND RESTART THE PLAYER... WHAT SHOULD I DO?

  Hello

  Please do not type in capital letters because it's difficult to read and considered to be shouting.

  You have disk problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD burning and)
  Playback of CD and DVD). So it is not unusual for parts from 1 or 2 to not work so that others do
  correctly.

  Used speed, the actual brand of discs, burning and if file Live or mastered all come into
  play. A cleaning disc can sometimes help.

  CD/DVDs have a tolerance + - and your can read/write on the edge outside these discs
  tolerances. They may be delivered, but it is generally more economical to replace the disk.

  ===========================================

  This troubleshooting could not help if there is alignment and/or wear issues however it
  a shot.

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
  a process that solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
  Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
  RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
  below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
  cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  ===============================

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
  Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
  do it right.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
  the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
  the correct registry entries for your car.

  Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
  as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
  the parameters.

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\0001\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  You can probably find more info here and maybe even the exact registry for your CD/DVD settings
  drive from someone with the same model.

  Use DevManView to locate the CD/DVD in the registry (be careful and do a prior Restore Point)
  nothing change) - find the DevManView device and then make a right click on it free in RegEdit.

• How do you make your computer will stop recording your zipped files less? How to open zipped files?

  Whenever I go under MYItlab to download my homework with which he recorded zipper. But before he recorded them with Microsoft. Now when I go to open them in my USB it is said that they are corrupt and wont open. How to open up with Microsoft? How can I open zipped files?

  Quote your version of Windows.

  If the files are download as zip files, then this is your school that provides in this way.  Windows inherently knows how to handle zip files.  She treats them like "compressed" files  Just save the zip file to a folder, and then open Windows Explorer and double-click them.

• How can I make my computer will not go to sleep

  Hello

  I am trying to download some software that lasts 10 hours. the problem is that my computer goes to sleep and then resets the download so I have to start. Is it possible that I can do my computer goes to sleep, so it will not reset the download?

  Right-click of the battery icon at the bottom right of your screen and select "power options".

  Click on "Change plan settings" under whatever plan chosen power.

  From there, you can set the time it takes before your computer goes to sleep, ranging from '1 minute' to 'never '.

• How can I make my computer starts more quickly?

  It takes an average of 82 seconds to start it is generally faster, I deleted some startup programs and msconfig I tried, but is still slow

  Hello

  Keep an eye on the programs that want to load in start like many do not really
  need to be there. As the Auto program slow updaters (Flash, Java and other)
  the trunk down and you can manually check for those. Some programs will be
  start-up so they will be faster start that is not that big a question on fast machines of today.
  Of course those that also contribute to ensure that you only use them. So startup cleaner
  (for example, WinAMP, Real Player and other media players) unless your desire or need them for
  be there.

  I hope this helps.

  Thank you, Marilyn

  Click here and follow the instructions; If the computer originally shipped with Mac OS X 10.6.8 earlier, when you get to step 5, insert the original disc, restart with the C key or Option key, use disk utility to erase the internal drive and install a fresh OS. This will destroy the applications that are not shipped with Mac OS X.
