I have a pc very very slow and I need to top it up with xp sp1, if I do that, I'll be able to get the necessary updates? Can I ignore sp2 and go straight to sp3?
I have the disc that came with my pc which is sp1. just boot my PC with the floppy in the drive?
Yes, you can jump SP2 and install SP3 directly. Or integrate your SP1 installation disc:

How can I convert .ai files in jpeg format? It seems that I am only able to get the .ai files and my Adobe Photo Elements program does not recognize the file.
I want to continue my membership with Adobe, however, not if it requires some additional software purchase.
For .ai files, you will need to use or know someone who uses Illustrator or another program compatible .ai to convert. If you access a page of image details before license you can see the file type.

I tried to look in a few different places for a clear answer... I use Windows Vista Home Premium (x 64) with Service Pack 2, and I noticed that "mainstream support" for Vista seems to have ended in April 2012. Does this mean that I no longer able to get the security updates, etc., through Windows Update? I'm a user at home and as far I can tell that Vista has "extended support" until 2017, but I don't think that this applies to individuals.
I actually really like Vista and want to continue to use it for several years yet.Any help would be appreciated, I already looked upwards (must be almost all) Microsoft sites but can't find a simple answer.Thank youBKThat sums up the situation: http://www.zdnet.com/blog/bott/microsoft-quietly-extends-consumer-support-for-windows-7-vista/4529?tag=mantle_skin;content

Satellite A40-151 started very slow and have hours to transfer a single file
Hello.
I've had my A40-151 more than two years now, and up to last month, I got no problems at all. However, last month, it began to be very slow and took hours to initialize. I'm worried that I would lose all the data that I didn't back up, and so I bought an external drive to transfer data.
As I was doing this, my laptop started making grinding noises, and it took up to 12 hours to transfer a single file. I got to the place, I bought it, and they said it had crashed and that it was not something they could do other than get it back - and so I lost all my data.
When I came back, it was OK for a few hours and then started grinding again! And I think it might be something to do with the CD/DVD drive. I uninstalled the drive, and the squeaking seems to have stopped as long as the "drawer" player is open! Help, please!
How can I get the drive replaced? My laptop is no longer under warranty. No I lost everything this that data for nothing?
Anyone have any ideas?
Hello
No, the squeaking is probably from the reader of CD/DVD being dry, while optical rides on squeak track passing. But the long loading is certainly a hard drive problem. Looks like a head crash. The head is more or less what locates and reads/writes data from the HARD drive. When this plant it is unable to read/write/or locate the data on the surface taking more and more to save the data, transfer data and load the operating system. Two problems independent of each other. If your ASP cannot repair the cd that squeaks, then they can replace it one that works normally. I hope this has helped you.

30/31 of Firefox is very slow and plant constantly?
Hello.
Since I updated to 30 FF, I find it VERY slow and it blocks many times a day. I was happy when version 31 is out because I thought it would work better, but it doesn't.
The pages take forever to is to load, most of the time they will not and I have to recharge myself and then maybe they are responsible.
Also, it crashes all the time. I noticed it's on down each time that it kind of "freeze" or when it is something big, which is not at all big load. I've never had this problem before, but have been dealing with this for months now and I'm tired instead.I think I have almost tried everything. Even uninstalled. I'd appreciate any help, as I would like to continue using it. Thank you.

Satellite Pro L500 - wireless connection is very slow and unstable
Hello
I bought a Satellite Pro L500 a couple of weeks (Windows 7 and Realtek 8191SE). I have no problem connecting to public networks, but I can't use it at my place, where I have a broadband cable connection.
The strange thing is that, in the same room, I have no problem with my old A105 Satellite (Windows XP).It is also very strange the fact that, even if the signal is good, sometimes excellent, the connection is very slow and unstable (it disconnects when I try to browse the Internet).
I have already tried:
-Update the Realtek drivers.
-Disconnect the firewall;
-Modification of the properties of the Realtek card.Maybe it's a problem with the software or, on the contrary, with the material?
Thank you!
PoncetHi Patrick,
If you can connect to public networks correctly, I think that this problem is related to your router at home. So I would recommend updating the firmware on your router. You can get it on the page of manufactured goods.
Also try to disable WLAN encryption and MAC address filtering.
By the way: you can access the Internet at home via a cable connection?

The machine is very very slow and constantly beach balls, System wiped 3 times by Apple store
I have a 27 June 2015 iMac 5 k, 3rd two precedents as a failing. I upgraded to 24 GB of RAM and use PS CC, Lightroom with two plug-ins software nick Imagenomics.
the machine is very very slow and beac balls constantly...
Sometimes, I visited pirate bay re music but all f my software is legitimate...
I have taken e machine to my local application, e store twice, claiming the material is good, but the software is obviously not correct that they admit that it's very slow, so they wipe the machine and system restore...
sound she's like going round a roundabout...
Help
So, what operating system Mac are you on? You are not running an iMac on iOS.
The Apple store actually erase your entire hard drive or they just install the OS on top of what you have?
If you downloaded from any type of torrent/pirate bay Web site, there are some that will include a few unwanted songs (like bloatware/adware/malware) with their free software, especially if this software costs money elsewhere - for example, you might have installed something that will not be fixed by installation of operating system unless all of the hard disk will be deleted first.

Computer is very slow and IE does not work all the time.
I bought a computer from my old employeer. He is doing all sorts of things, or should I say not to do all sorts of things. It is very slow and IE does not work all the time. They have questions arise and ask if the administrator oks things and other things like that. It came with any disks. I would like to wipe, clean and load a new disc, but I don't know where to find the disc or if I can do it. Can someone please?
Hello
Proceed as follows to contribute to these two questions. You can probably buy the disks of Vista machine to system or get
the former employer to do it for you if necessary.Try these and it can also be a good idea to update your main drivers later. The General corruption can also play a
role in this issue. And even the TCP/IP stack might need to be refreshed.What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have on the machine? Be one you ALREADY had on this
machine, including those you have uninstalled (they leave leftovers behind which can cause strange problems).If no joy there's something blocking perhaps.
Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - IE with no Addons - what works best?
IE - Tools - Internet Options - Advanced - tab click on restore, and then click Reset - apply / OK
IE - Tools - Internet Options - Security tab - click on reset all default areas - apply / OK
Close and restart IE or IE with no addons
not better?
IE - tools - manage Addons (for sure disable SSV2 if it is there, it is no longer necessary but Java always install
"(and it causes problems - you never update Java to go back in and turn it off again)." Search for other possible problems.Windows Defender - tools - software explore - look for problems with programs that do not look right. Permit
are usually OK and "unauthorized" are not always bad. If in doubt about a program to ask about it here.Could be that a BHO - BHOremover - free - standalone program, needs no installation, download and run - not all
are bad, but some can cause your question (toolbars are BHO).
