  • How can I improve my computer performance ratings?

    Recently I bought Halo 2 for Vista. I loaded into my computer and am really a lot about the installation process. Then I clicked on "Finish." After that, I got an error message that says "Initailization Failed". He said that he might be missing data or the disc is scarched. This was not true. It also says that you can reinstall and it would work. No luck with that. Evenually, I thought it might be my computer performance ratings. !) SIDE NOTE - I have a DELL inspiron 530 withVista '32'. (!  So I checked my notes and my areas I need to improve are: graphics (3.9) and graphics of games (3.3). As you probably know your base score is determined by your lower under-score. My lower under-score is games graphic that is 3.3. I want to get between them and my graphics (3.9) until a 5.0 rating. Can someone help me?

    You need to buy one - it is a piece of hardware (no software which can be downloaded).  Make sure the card is compatible with your computer, your BIOS, your motherboard and your version of Vista (you may need to consult the computer manufacturer to confirm, you get the right card - or get them specifically for your computer).  Also make sure that it's "quite better" solve the problem - and I would like to get a little more because the computer components become obsolete very quickly.  It will be delivered with the software, firrmware and/or drivers that must be installed before the latter won't work - instuctions should come with it or be available on the web site of the manufacturer of the video card or the provider.  Make sure that the card has enough RAM onboard to make a difference if you want to improve these scores as much as you do.  The card will tell you your new score when you buy - you'll just have to get a good and check it out to see if it does the trick.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

    Thanks to GAVIN THOMAS hope

    Hello

    I suggest to add the programs that you frequently use to the start menu and disable other programs as yoo does not really use only.

    Try to review this page 'How to customize the Start Menu program'

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/152122

    Adding a program to a Menu to add a program to a menu, follow these steps:

    1. Click the Start button, point to settings, and then click Taskbar and Start Menu.
    2. Click programs on the Start Menu tab, click Add, and then click Browse.
    3. Locate the program you want to add, click the program, click Open, and then click Next.
    4. Click the menu on which you want the program to appear, and then click Next.
    5. Type the name that you want to appear in the menu. If a Finish button appears at the bottom of the "Select a title for the program" dialog box, click it. If a next button appears at the bottom of the dialog box, click it, click the icon you want to use for the program, and then click Finish.

    Removing a program from a Menu

    To remove a program from a menu, follow these steps:

    1. Click the Start button, point to settings, and then click Taskbar and Start Menu.
    2. Click programs on the Start Menu tab and then click on remove.
    3. Locate the program you want to delete, click the program, and then click on remove. Note that this deletes the shortcut to the program on the start menu, but it does not delete the program from your hard drive.

    Thank you!

    I don't think that you will be able to increase your score of graphics or increase graphics performance using this chipset... He is old enough.

    If your computer allows it, you can install a separate graphics card.

  • "Adding another 8 GB of ram would improve computer performance of H8 - 1520t.

    I have a HP h8 - 1520 computer t with a bar of ram of memory DIMM DDR - 1600 GB 8.  My more demanding program is Microsoft Flight Simulator X with acceleration.

    I thought I could just use the 8 GB of ram I have (a stick) and then install a more accurate memory stick live, for a total of 16 GB. Fix?  As I said, if you can be sure that the new 8 GB stick of memory is compatible with the existing 8 GB, then it is not a problem.  Just make sure that they are compatible, or you've lost your money.

  • How to improve my graphics performance of office?

    I use graphics from nvidia geforce 410 m with 1 GB of memory installed on SONY VAIO VPCEG38FN runs on Windows 8 Pro 64 Bit, but while performing a side in pc info the coast is only 4.5 IE because of the weak performance of desktop driver.please graphics help me on how to improve performance in it.

    It must focus on the driver that is used for your graphics card.  Machine you come with Windows 8 is installed, or does happen with windows 7 and you have upgraded to windows 8?  If the latter, it is possible that the upgrade process did not find a driver for Windows 8 and used instead of the base video driver.

    Have a look in Device Manager to the driver for your video card.  If this isn't a NVidia driver, check on the web sites of Sony or NVidia for the drivers for your card. Even if a NVidia driver is installed, look for a driver more up-to-date.

  • XP SP3 reinstall slower computer performance, a lot of hang ups, delayed write failed and bsod.

    Hi everyone;

    Thank you all very much for putting time and effort to help as many people. I thought I was opening first with a receipt.

    I'm very tired on my computer. I already spent days and days trying to solve a lot of questions. Literally, my computer has been hindering my work since the middle of January!

    I have a Dell Dimension 4700 Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.00 GHz 2.99 Ghz and 3.25 GB of Ram, with a Hitachi 500 GB HDS721050CLA362 as the main disk (Disk0) and a Seagate 1 TB ST31000528AS secondary storage (disk 1) with Windows XP SP3 disk. I have insalled all updates (including frame work 1.1 windows.net, 2 something etc).

    I have avast antivirus and it is always kept up to date as well as ad-aware and anti malware malbyte.

    I recently bought a BlacX Thermaltake Docking Station and 2 TB Hitachi 3.5 car as well. I try to have 2 backups of my work, because I lost valuable data in the past.

    Initially, I had only 2 GB of Ram, but I knew that my computer could handle 4 GB because I have confirmed these specifications with the people of Dell who assembled to the machine. Right now I have 4 GB of ram, as confirmed in the menu setup.

    I also originally had a Maxtor 80 GB disk0 and disk1 No.

    I opted to replace the Maxtor 80 GB because it is 6 years old already and I run Adobe CS4 production Premium. I thought that 500 GB would suit my OS & important programs and large temporary files that they generate.

    When I reinstalled the operating system on the Maxtor I had formatting problems. It hangs at 94% or I would get a BSOD on start up. Then I used the 500 GB HDD and ran the Installation of XP on it and was fine.

    I used it for a week, but I noticed his incredibly slow, despite having all this ram and a clean operating system installation.

    I am also BSOD when I launch the antivirus OR when I try to copy files from one HD to another (of the primary transmission on the slave drive OR the disk from 2 TB to dock, or from disk on the drive connected slave or the slave on the primary drive drive). Other times I'll take an absurd copy for a file time relatively small i.ye. a 300 MB file will suddenly be more than an hour to copy.

    I have run diagnostics and diskscan and receive nothing wrong. Windows finished 'control' the disc and not tell me that something was wrong. I look at the disk management tool, and all readers "(healthy)" next to them.

    The skeptic in me feels like this happens when I install the updates of the .net framework. I already reinstalled OS two times.

    Isn't .net important features of the machine?

    I'm so lost in this and I spend most of my days Googling solutions and try to implement them without result. I've disabled "write cache" and reactivated it. I went through a bunch of procedures aimed at preventing the failure of writeback. I do not have any type of file sharing software or torrents on my machines at all and I do not share my files. My firewall is on.

    All that I know, I did everything by the book and to the letter, so I feel like my computer could run surprisingly, not like I have a lemon and I'm terrified that I'll lose all my work despite the fact that I have enough space to save all of the universe.

    Thanks again for all your help! It is really appreciated in advance and always.

    I ended up reinstalling the operating system again, it works fine now. But it was very very weird. Thank you very much to try to advise me, I know that it was a complicated issue.

    See you soon

  • If a logging program button has been installed on your computer performs this Act of when it is installed or is able to access the previous use of the keys?

    Hello

    I received an email from a friend that I opened, it has since informed me that his computer has been hacked and thought that a virus has been incorporated into the e-mail. I have a limited knowledge of computers and would like to know if a logging program button has been installed it reads the keys historically or only from when it has been installed? Also, I found that a user account and password that I had not placed on the computer had been set and the user account setting that governs the installation of new programs was at a minimum level.

    I deleted the new user account and password and changed the UAC to the highest setting and did a scan of my computer using AVGfree, he showed a threat of conduitinstaller.exe but it would allow me to delete or archive. A search on the internet about this program shows that it is a threat, this page: http://www.removeonline.com/conduitinstaller-exe/ offers to download a tool to remove it, but I am now worried I'm going beyond my capabilities. Could I have some advice please. I'm currently travelling so don't have do not have access to a friendly computer shop is where English is spoken.
    If I do all the work financial online from the computer in safe mode, this will get me in until I can get the problem sorted.

  • Computer performance are slow and unresponsive in the middle of the running applications

    Original title: Volsnap error, VSS, registry handle leaks, the drivers won't load is not etc.

    Little by little over the last few months, my computer has been slowing down, suddenly "not responding" in the middle of a program and a few other oddities.  I can't identify when this started because he was progressive.  I had to replace an old drive SSD C and when I did, I also bought a new copy of Windows 7 Prof 64 bit SP1.  Drive C is now SATA 6.

    Specs are adequate, CPU i7 930, 16 GB ram, 2 7200 1 TB WD drives each, 1 WD 'green' 2.5 SATA 6 GB, an Intel SSD SATA2 M225 and a Corsair Force SATA 6, which is the 'new' drive C.

    First mistake, as mentioned above is:

    Hello
    The three files that does not loaded at startup proved a Paragon backup facility that I had deleted.  I found in the registry and is more had this error.

    Slow and sudden episodes of "not responding" continues in safe mode, safe mode with network and boot.

    Mr. Fixit noted that I had too many programs loaded on startup that I already knew and will work hard to stop.  It has been useful in this gave me a list of the programs that did not need to start.  Some of this list was a distant base such that suggests my AV does not need to start, but some of it was useful.

    I then started to keep track of programs that seemed more likely to slow down or freeze the machine.  I reduced to one of my drives 3 1/2 inch WD 7200 and my 25 M Intel SSD.

    I ran Intel SSD toolbox and it showed no errors and no updates.  Estimated of life was about 95% and I had the car for 2 years.  There is an option to click that says "SSD Optimizer", and I suspect it is similar to a manual pad because it is one of their first records.  I "optimized" and it was immediately faster.  Intel said to do once a week or two and I never did.

    I ran HD Tune Pro on the WD and it showed a bad CRC so that a warning on the drive, which is less than a year. HD air said the drive is bad OR a cable is bad.  I had a backup, Acronis Disk which took most of the data and I also had the cloud with versioning backup.

    Knowing that the food had been replaced by a technician who had twisted power cables, because most of the readers had been asked in reverse, I attacked this first.  I turned every drive so that the connection of the power supply has been on the same side and reconnect the cable after doing my best to straighten out and flatten the wire.  I then installed a new SATA cable on the WD drive in question.

    Then, wanting to be done with it once and for all and ensuring that I could save between Acronis and my backup of cloud, I used the command line in Administrator, then to Drive E tools mode, error checking.  I ticked the boxes: analyze and attempt to recover bad sectors and automatically fix file system errors.  A reboot and the process had started.

    When you are finished, I seemed to have a catchy machine and some of the programs which often hung, is done in two days.  Programs were pretty much intact, but most of the files had been erased from the disk.  I have restored all wiped files and files of Acronis and the cloud and everything seems to work perfectly.

    Unable to help me, I ran HD Tune Pro and made a mistake (not fast) full scan on the E drive.  She came back without error.

    I know that this drive can fail again, and above all, I couldn't have been this aggressive if I had not had 2 backups.

    Do you think it will fail again?  I decided that, if so, I'll get another SSD (or two) to replace.  Although it will cost you much, I fear that hard drives are not very well made and I don't want to go through this again - and maybe not be so lucky.

    Thanks for your help and I'll post again if it fails in the near future.  Someone knows something about the new SSD Plextor?  Or would you go with Samsung?

    Thanks again.

  • VMFS extend computing performance impact

    Hi guys,.

    I would like to know how I can calculate the impact on performance (CPU resource mainly) to have a BATCH of VMFS extend (I know it's it is not advisable) on an ESXi 3.5 environment?

    Indeed, we have prepared 2 ESX Server with 70 VM total and an average of 35% CPU (normally we should have 5%), I want to better manage this problem (as VC report on average 20% of the CPU usage) by eliminating the other thing that can touch the CPU perf... ہ VMFS extension...

    Thanks for your comments

    Concerning

    Julien

    When using extends as far as I know, there is no loss of performance. It could even increase performance
