I am unable to use USB Stick 2.0 as ReadyBoost
I'm playing a game that needs 4 GB of memory RAM. I have 3 GB. I heqrd that you can increase the RAM using a key 2.0 usb. Then I turned on Sysmain and tried my USB ReadyBoost. But it says:
This device cannot be used for Readyboost.
ReadyBoost is not enabled on this computer because the system disk is fairly quickly, so that the computer problably ReadyBoost will not accelerate.
Problem well here, I will not speed up the computer I want to just play the game who does not start without RAM of 4 GB.
So, how can I fix?

Hello
ReadyBoost is not a replacement of ram it's disk caching.
ReadyBoost in Windows 7 supports 8 drives and a total of 256 GB. For each device - the
device must have an access time of 1ms or less. The device must be capable of 2.5 MB/s
read speeds for 4 KB random reads uniformly over the whole device and 1.75 MB/s
Write speed for 512 KB random writings spread evenly on the unit. On a FAT32 device
the cache is limited to 4 GB and on an NTFS device, the cache is limited to 32 GB (these are on)
a device).

USB stick not capable for readyboost
I have hp v210w reader pen 16 gb. I used this device to readyboost option provided by microsoft windows 7. but now it is said that this device cannot be used for readyboost, the device does not have the performance characteristics required for use in speeding up your system.
I want to use this device to readyboost. So please help me solve this problem?
Hello
ReadyBoost need to access the device all the time and anything can die. He cannot live forever after a number of read/write. Performance reduces and don't meet ReadyBoost requirments. They are very cheap now, throw it in the trash or use for anything else and buy a new one.
Kind regards.

Hello
During the installation of Windows 7 or 8.1 using a USB stick - get the message "cannot be installed, it is a GPT partition.
I have 64 bit install discs for Win 7 and Win 8.1. These two install on my desktop in duel boot. I made a Flash DRIVE of each disk so I can install it more quickly.
Problem: I get the cannot install because it is a GPT partition.
Y at - there no way to make these 2 USB sticks work?
Thank you, Brad
Make sure you create your media recovery HP or USB Flash Recovery discs before you edit or change anything.
Your computer does not have Microsoft's Downgrade rights and you must buy a copy of Windows 7 with a valid Microsoft COA and product key.
The screenshots below is from a laptop HP 15 t-j100... options and the configuration on your computer screens may differ.
You will need to DISABLE "Secure Boot" and ENABLE "Legacy Support" in the "Configuration of the BIOS start-up secure" on the settings page similar to what is shown below, until you try to install Windows 7.
After you save the changes, the computer will ask you to confirm the changes... Accept the changes by typing the four digit code and press the ENTER"" key.
If you install Windows 7 from a USB and see a message of "load a driver - a required CD/DVD drive device is missing", it's because as 'System Configuration' > 'Config USB3.0 in pre-start' is set to 'Enabled '. This should be set to 'Auto '.
In addition, as the factory hard drive is partitioned as TPG, you must start using the internal CD/DVD UEFI or UEFI-Key/key USB to install Windows on a GPT-partitioned disk. Turn on or restart the computer and press "F9" or "ESC", then "F9" when prompted. Select the source of boot UEFI you use and you press "ENTER".
I suggest using Windows 7 SP1 for the best installation experience. If the DVD does not start as UEFI, you may need to use a USB Flash drive (can ask "Quick start" DISABLING in BIOS) as the installation media. Please note that some computers may not recognize a valid active UEFI USB Flash drive if it is formatted in NTFS and may require only a FAT32 formatted USB Flash drive. You should be able to make a FAT32 formatted Windows 7 installation USB Flash drive using Rufus, UNetbootin, Universal USB Installeror WiNToBootic. I like Rufus, because it contains options for 'Plan of GPT partition for UEFI computer' and 'FAT32'.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

* Original title: computer problem
Hi guys, first of all excuse my English because it is not my natural language. My problem is this: I think that my office is stressful on me. It's freezing and sometimes it does not start. I'm trying to back up my files, but I'm not. Is it possible to copy my files to a USB stick and use it as a backup? If so should what files I back up? Is it possible to do a reinstall? I have a Dell OptiPlex 745 with windows vista ultimate. Any help would be welcome.

Hello
How to make a backup of files:
Go to the file/s you want to put (Documents, music, Photos, etc. in Windows Explorer) > right click on it/them > hover over send it to the mouse cursor > select external hard drive or Memory Stick that you plugged them to save.
And it's method of Dell to backup your data and reinstall of the operating system:

I use a USB 2.0 TV BOX (its software is "InterVideo WinDVR") to activate my old family videos VHS and DVR (VCR/DVD via RCA cables drive) of video files.
The files are anywhere from 4 or 5 MB .5MB (mainly), with one or two files like 7MB, depending on the family event.
Once I created the new video files, I have no problem to watch with Windows Media Player (and they look beautiful, as there was almost no loss of photo quality and or sound in the transfer at all - very very nice).
Then I will import the video clips/files newly created in Movie Maker (I have Movie Makers version 2.1). in order to make new compilations video, eager to add effects and transitions and music in Movie Maker.
The newly created files seem to import no problem... but when I try to preview... the sound plays very well but there is no video... only in black on the preview screen (the few times I tried this I had to close Movie Maker).
I tried moving them dirrectly to the timeline and then see them and play a clip, but then when I clicked the back button to replay the same thing above occurs, black in the preview with sound window.
I did some reading online to try to understand, and...
I tried to import the file/clip directly on the timeline and then finishing/recording on my computer and then importing the wma file that results, but the same thing, black with sound.
What am I what am I doing wrong or what do I need get this working... grandmas are starting to nag... lol
Thanks a lot for any help or advice anyone can offer me, time and review.

Toshiba Regza 46VL743G - playing files via USB stick
Hello
I have problems with playback music and videos via USB. I tried to format my USB for different file systems (ntfs, fat, ms - dos, for example) and video formats, but the screen is black, I launch the media player.
My TV has played with MS-DOS Format the photos, but no mp3 or divx/avi files. I run the multimedia player with 'video' the led of the USB stick flashes, but after a few seconds the led turn off (I think that the stick loses power).
My other TV (LG 55LE7510 55 '') plays all video files and mp3 without any problem (ntfs and video format *.avi)Someone has an idea?
Hey,.
Have you tried another USB key and the same thing happens with another USB key? Usually, you use the FAT32 format for your USB key. Then the TV will be able to recognize it and all the files it contains.
According to the specifications of your TV supports jpeg files (USB and SD card), MP3 (USB) and video DivX SD (USB).

I have for the usb drive that you suggested, and it happened today however it does not resolve the difficulty, even if the product is satisfactory. Consults with the HP support has finally confirmed that the provided HP recovery media software does not work with Win 8.1Pro with media library.
So, in a way, the problem is solved by default... I used successfully in place of Windows Recovery Media Creator.

Recovery USB - stick (DVD player does not) Acer Aspire 7750 G
Hello world
My DVD player does not work for quit some time. This is no big problem for me, because one barely use it.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to burn recovery DVD. In my view, it has an option to do a recovery USB drive. It would be a great solution! Unfortunately I do not have the possibility to do so. Is this only possible for computers without an optical drive? Is it possible to download the program with the option to use a USB - stick as in the YouTube video?
Thanks in advance,
Richard
You can try to work around the problem, since I'm not sure that Acer was already an eRecovery on windows version 7 which allows to create USB recovery media.
This free software allows you to create a virtual DVD/rw drive and use it to create an iso file, then you can ise this iso file to create a USB stick recovery using rufus:

I have an HTML page created with web expression 4. It contains only a wmv video. It works perfectly when it is called from a USB stick or SD card, but does not work when they are copied to the hard drive. The results are the same with IE and Firefox. It don't make no difference if I use Media Player V9 or V11. He has no control on the page Media Player. Video and html files are in the same directory. Here is the code snippet:

If I run it on a machine with Win 7 there is no problem.
