I don't know much about computers, so I was wondering is it safe to delete all games?

They are games that were on my vista when I bought it. The games are useless to me and I was wondering if it would free more than up for me.

  • Eager to add a few things on my desk! (Don't know much about computers)

    Hi, I was looking in Add/upgrade to update new things to my computer and didn't know some things. I intend to do in February at the latest.

    * My computer *.

    Name of the operating system: Microsoft Windows Vista (TM) Home Premium

    Version: 6.0.6002 Service Pack 2 Build 6002

    System manufacturer: HP-Pavilion

    System model: KJ377AA-ABA m8400f

    Processor: AMD Athlon (TM) 9500 Quad - Core Processor, 2200 Mhz, 4 Lossnay, 4 logical processors

    The version of the BIOS/Date: Phoenix Technologies, LTD 5.10, 29/01/2008

    SMBIOS Version: 2.4

    Amount of physical memory (RAM): 3.00 GB

    Total virtual memory: 6,20 GB

    I didn't know what all you need to know.

    First of all, I wanted to add room so I took two (I am still trying to decide on one) Personal Media Drive. I'm leaning towards the 1 CT one.

    1. http://www.shopping.hp.com/store/product/product_detail/AU182AA%2523ABA

    2. http://www.shopping.hp.com/product/computer/categories/storage_solutions/1/accessories/AU183AA%2523A...

    Here are some of my questions about it.

    The two (not at the same time) would install in my Personal Media Drive Bay?

    Is there a counter to them?

    Secondly, I wanted to add RAM, but don't know what type, brand or what to get. I want to add 2 to 4 GB.

    RAM issues:

    Can my computer support that much?

    What are some that I could look at?

    Brand of the is a great thing, if so what brand should I get?

    Third, I want to go from vista to Windows 7 Ultimate.

    Upgrade issues:

    Is Windows 7 Ultimate better than vista (vista a bit mind)?

    Windows 7 handles this, I add?

    Forth. I'm kinda a computer nerd (without any knowledge about them... lol) reason why is I watch a lot of movies, TV shows, have a lot of music, and I have LOTS of large files on my computer. My Favorites are most expansions, the Sims 3 + Expansions to come, Guild Wars, Sims 2 + Expansions, soon to be Guild Wars 2, & a lot of games... all of this computer. Okay the reason why I shared that with you. I wanted to ask I should update my graphics card? And if so, what?

    I'm sorry for taking much of your time. I just want to be happy with what I get and make sure that everything is going to work. I love HP and I love the laptop and this computer. I also like the unrelated computer components I have their. But I need to expand. Help, please. Thank you for everything.

    MFSX said: does that mean that I can run a 64-bit OS and my computer recognizes more RAM? If so, I would really like to do. I at one point want the site you sent me to say "max out"... hehe. Are there other things that I have to upgrade before doing this? D until my chances of being able to get a better graphics card. My husband says it's a 300W power supply. How would I go about upgrading my diet?

    Yes, you can switch to a 64-bit operating system.  This is the amount of memory that is supported by your motherboard if you:

    Memory:

    Memory installed 3 GB Maximum allowed 8 GB (4 x 2 GB) (64-bit operating system)

    4 GB * (4 x 1 GB) (32-bit operating system)

    * Actual available memory may be less speed supported PC2-6400 MB/sec Type 240 pin DDR2 SDRAM

    The sweet spot for memory with Win7 is 3 GB 6 GB with a 32-bit operating system with a 64-bit operating system.  You can pass all of the 8 GB as shown, too.  I highly recommend the Crucial memory when you're ready for this step.

    Replace the power supply (PSU) can be a bit tricky.  Mainly, because it is necessary to remove all connectors of the components.  Can an average user do?  Yes, in my opinion.  You just take notes as to where everything is connected.  The wires on the new power supply are normally marked very well.  Here is a video on replacing the PSU.  It will be exactly what you have to do, but it will give you a good idea of what is needed.  Here's a good power supply.  I actually had this power supply in my computer.  It is one of the best on the market.  OCZ and Corsair are two manufacturers that I recommend.

    If you have any other questions, let us know.

  • I don't know why Microsoft does not offer a laptop stolen, followed by assistance to all its users under license?

    A creator of this popular software, this should be the most logical part. Given that each authorized user registers with it as well as the id MAC, regularly logs in to windows update, if the same is machine is stolen, even where it is formatted, as and when the new user comes in contact with microsoft for windows update, it should be able to catch the really fast user's ip and report it to the original user.

    Microsoft listening?

    Not all users * records * Windows - in fact, I would say that VERY FEW users register their software.

    More * activate * the software - but since there is no personal information associated with the activation - this does little or nothing to prove ownership (wouldn't attach the product to one person in particular).

    I think you are oversimplifying the ability to do what you're talking about.  You buy the right to use the Microsoft operating system - you do not have.  You actually already saved your Microsoft operating system , or simply activated?

  • I bought a pc that has win7 ultimate installed... updated ive made a new installation of a new ssd, don't know what previous version of windows was on the system before

    How do ifind what version of windows I had before it has been upgraded to win 7 ultimate? I have had this for 1 year (bought secondhand) no probs, just updated my pc and installed a new and it does not accept the cd key? If it wasn't authentic I questions since I use first, so why question now?

    Please help as I can't be bothered giving microsoft £130 for the inconvenience
    I just go through the most popular versions and see if I have the chance? or are there easier ways to detect previous versions?
    Thank you

    The only way to know is to contact the original owner or check the chassis of the machine to see if there is a certificate of Authenticity sticker attached to it. It will identify which edition an original version of Windows is preinstalled on the machine:

    COA certificate of authenticity:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/howtotell/content.aspx?PG=COA

    If you do not, you may have to invest in a full version license.

  • I have a LOV custom, but I don't know how to recover the selection?

    Hi all
    I want to recover my lov user selection, but I don't know much about the syntax.
    Please advice.
    Currently, I have attached a script to a button so that I can bring out a LOV.

    ______________________________________________________________


    DECLARE BOOLEAN a_value_chosen;

    BEGIN
    Message ("LOV is gg to pop up.");
    a_value_chosen: = Show_Lov ('LOV27');

    IF this is a_value_chosen
    Message ("you have not selected a value.");
    Bell; RAISE Form_Trigger_Failure;
    ON THE OTHER
    / * I don't know how to recover the selection of the user here... * /.
    Message ("you selected a value!' |") SELECTION);

    END IF;
    END;

    There is another way to get your selection of LOV... you can not use this concept...
    You must return value LOV to some parameter/item, while creating LOV. in order to check if its recoveries or not...

    Suppose that you have returned the value to a parameter named RETURN_VAL then...

    DECLARE
  A_VALUE_CHOSEN BOOLEAN;
BEGIN
  MESSAGE('LOV IS GG TO POP UP.');
  A_VALUE_CHOSEN := SHOW_LOV('LOV27');

IF :PARAMETER.RETURN_VAL IS NOT NULL THEN
  MESSAGE('YOU HAVE NOT SELECTED A VALUE.');
  BELL; RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
ELSE
  MESSAGE('YOU HAVE SELECTED A VALUE!!!' || :PARAMETER.RETURN_VAL);
END IF;
END;

  • I don't know why the player pop-up does not appear when I insert my SIM card to upload photos into my computer

    I don't know if it's just me being stupid, but I had to update all the settings on my computer because of an overload of download me something horrible and it just all messed up. SO that being said, once I did that I'm more seeing the pop up that I had something in the drive which allows you to download the pictures from my memory card from my camera to my computer and I click on. I need advice because I do not know how to understand anything about this kind of things in Windows 8. Much appreciated! :-)

    -Ariel

    On the desktop, right-click in the lower left corner (Start Menu) and find the control Menu.  From there, choose AutoPlay.  When it lists what to do when a memory card is inserted, what do you see as a choice?  Select the import option and the next time you insert the memory card, it should pop up in the import dialog box.

    Other things to check:

    1. Is that what you were previously on Windows to import?  If so, choose this option.  If you don't see the option, you may need to register some dll.
    2. Did you already use library to import?  If so, do you have installed Windows Essentials?

    If you still don't see the import options, read the next question.  It covers the Photo Gallery or Windows configuration as the default importer.
