  Hello

  Emulation allows you to run a program designed for one system on another system.

  Come back with the game creator for more information on what you need to run
  the game. Check with their forums (if any). Check also in other main game forums
  help from others. Do not forget to mention the OS you are using, (name game info
  and the platform, it has been designed to work) and your system.

• Can't find what is running in the background

  Recently, my computer (Windows 7) began to show in the pointer of the mouse with a cirlce running (or whatever it is that tells you that something (or a program) is running) and worse still, when typing (even now), I have to click on the typing box to have my cursor back to the program (word (, excel or box of any type) and finish typing because as far as I know, another program that has been unning back came on top of the program I was / is to help.

  I tried the Task Manager but cannot see any program unusual and even uninstalled a program "synchronize" by Roxio, thinking that was the cause, but it is always the case.  Please advise me on how find/identify which program is the cause.

  Think about it an absolute must - manually update your drivers.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded
  on your system. For each driver in the list, additional useful information is
  Poster: load address of the driver, description, version, product name,.
  company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit Maker as replacements and system manufacturer of device which are
  the most recent. Control Panel - write - graphics card - device manager
  the brand and complete model of your video card - double click - tab of the driver-
  Note the version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this can do nothing
  MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
  This will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard
  If there are 3rd party with their own software and drivers and the other main device drivers
  you have.

  Now, go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restore)
  and site (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get the manufacturer and device
  their latest versions. (Look for the system to update the BIOS, Chipset and software updates
  Site of the manufacturer here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN -.
  REBOOT after each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you are
  installation actually appears. This is because that some rollback of drivers before the
  later is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a driver - reboot.
  Make sure that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW to the device makers DO NOT RUN THEIR
  SCANNER - check manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

  the above methods is preferable to ensure the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system
  and device manufacturers are located)
  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable driver facilities
  in the updates of Windows, which leaves on Windows updates, but it will not be installed
  pilots who are generally older and cause problems. If updates provides a new
  driver then hide it (right click on it) and then go get new ones manually if
  you want.

• How to track what is running in the HARD drive?

  [moved from Virus & Malware topic]

  When I delete an unused partition, it displays an error message, and I have no idea what is using it, which is just 64 MB of space empty.

  Could not complete because the partition is opened or used, it could be defined as a system, boot, virtual memory or keep a file print damage.

  Partition (t) is used at the moment, if you force to delete this partition, please press Yes
  WARNING: remove force may cause the application using this partition accidentally error, do you want to continue?

  It seems to me strange on this partition, there no hidden on this activity?

• Almost all cases no matter what programs run almost 100% of the CPU running.

  Hey guys I have a problem I could use some help with.

  I have a Dell Studio 1555 laptop

  Windows Vista Edition Home Premium 64-bit

  4 GB of Ram

  Intel Duo Core T6500 @ 2.1 GHZ

  I've had this laptop over a year now and it works perfectly but around a week ago, he went a little out of whack.

  Basically, no matter what programs are running my CPU usage will be 90-100%, which makes the laptop almost impossible to use.

  It comes and goes a bit, but for the majority of the time is around this margin. (for example I wrote that his party up to 10% once again, little about what I expected, but it will rocket upward again in a few minutes)

  The strange thing is that it doesn't seem to be a program or .exe using all CPU. Sometimes odd things as Dell Dock (which must use almost nothing) use up to 40% and if that gets closed or temporarily fixed things like explorer.exe, svchost.exe or whatever happens to be executed at the moment when will start using more CPU and look back up to 100%.

  Only, this started happening recently and I have no idea what made him... Any thoughts?

  Thanks a lot for all the suggestions/help

  (and just a quick update)

  My computer stopped a few times now unexpectedly as well and do not restart for 10 minutes. Once again, no idea why... The back of it felt very hot but I wonder if a fan issue could play a role?)

  I have a static IP address to set up and do a VC.

  Because Jabber is now end of LIFE, what are the other software I can look forward to run the device SX20 Cisco H.323 for VC?

  Please note that you are only affected by this if you use JabberVideo 'free' which uses the jabber.com field, if you use "enterprise" JabberVideo, which is deployed and managed in your organization, then you can continue to use it until your organization decides otherwise.

  There is no free replacement for 'free' JabberVideo, so, if that is what you use, well, then you should consider paying for as a service.

  Yes, Cisco spark is free, but it does not support calls to/from other devices and/or customers.

  Then run a virus scan and AntiSpyware - you can find ones that are free on the net and and make sure you have a firewall too.

• What is running on my computer? [was: Kathleen]

  Since several days I had loads of windows updates tonight with another 25, all presumably in preparation for the coming of ten windows, however, I have now circle next to my cursor one turning constantly, I opened the Task Manager to see what is running, there is my CCleaner and GWX. EXE, the latter I don't know what it is, I would like to know what it is, I can remove it or should I remove it and if I do how to do this.

  GWX.exe is'Gand Windows X (ten)' application.

  When you say Ccleaner and GWX.exe are running, how much the CPU usage they show them?  In the Task Manager, see the "Processes" tab, not on the 'Applications' tab and don't forget to click on the button to "Show processes from all users" (you may need to respond to a UAC prompt).

  And why is Ccleaner active anyway?

  Open Ccleaner, click on 'Settings' and uncheck the box for "Run Ccleaner when the computer starts."  If I were you, I would also uncheck to automatically check for updates.  You only need to run Ccleaner every now and then.  And when you do, use ONLY the "Cleaner" option NEVER the option 'Registry '.

  Notwithstanding the above paragraph, if Ccleaner is started and not doing anything, it should not be of any use of the CPU.

  If you don't want to upgrade to Windows 10, you can uninstall Windows Update KB3035583 and then 'hide it. "  This will remove GWX.exe from your computer.  See http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_install/can-i-outright-not-download-windows-10/c93316f3-6466-416d-92f7-a4141aed9ef5
