In Windows XP system configuration utility only shows not the size RAM full

Original title: msconfig boot.ini points MAXMEM 2048 (when it is installed 2560 MB)

Hello.. a noob here,

system: DELL Dimension 4600, P4 3 GHz, Windows XP 32 SP3
2560 MB RAM is correctly installed
(2.56 GB of RAM reported by 'System')
(2.62 GB of RAM by TaskMgr)

but, when I SPEAR
  "msconfig" ... then click on: BOOT. INI' tab...
then... Then click on 'Advanced Options'.
check/uncheck...  " / maxmem Maxmem "
    2048 is displayed and CANNOT BE INCREASED (?)

How can I have this option / 'right' have the value
physical memory (RAM) of real system (installed / Total).

Note: System runs great, it's just a gene... (I think?)

thnx

T O

just for fun... I edited the BOOT. INI and included: /maxmem = 2560 switch:

  • [update BOOT. INI]
    [boot loader]
    timeout = 30
    default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS
    [operating systems]
    "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Edition family "/ maxmem = 2560/fastdetect / noexecute = OptIn

Although this change does NOT effect my symptoms, it has hurt anything either...

Apparently, this switch works widely different from that
This is the strategy in WINDOWS 7 Professional 64-bit

  • System image utility only displays not options for NetRestore

    Hi all

    I've been using NetRestore Image with NetInstall to deploy new laptops and I'm working on a new version of this image to clone our new laptops, but I'm more able to create a new image.

    I placed the image in target disk mode ready system and connected to my Mac server, but when I go in system image utility, I see more the option to create a NetRestore Image similar to the image below

    I have a Mac Mini Server (end 2012) with OS 10.11.1, Version 5.0.15 (15S 4033) and System Image Utility 2 Version 10.11 (777). The Image I'm trying to capture is OS 10.10. 5

    I don't know if Apple has removed this feature or if there is a new way to clone an image, but I'd appreciate any help

    Thank you!

    It looks like the system image utility (if it is updated to the latest version) don't like El Capitan now as a customer of image to be cloned.

    Help, please.

    Hi Alaa' Kabbani,.

    1. did you of recent changes made to your computer?

    2. which antivirus app do you use?

    3. What is the brand and model of your computer?

    I suggest to follow the steps below and we update on the State of the question.

    Method 1: Disconnect any new hardware

    If you have recently installed a new hardware device, the necessary driver so that the material can not be installed or the driver may be damaged or incompatible. To determine if this is true, follow these steps:

    1 unplug the appliance.

    2. restart Windows XP.

    If Windows XP starts successfully, there is a driver problem with the new material. Contact the manufacturer of the device for drivers updated to the device or to learn more about known hardware issues, so that you can reinstall the device.

    For information about how to contact the manufacturer of the device, refer to the Microsoft Web site at the following address:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/GP/vendors

    (http://support.microsoft.com/gp/vendors)

    Microsoft provides third-party contact information to help you find technical support. These details may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this third-party contact information.

    If this method resolved the issue, you are finished. If this method does not work for you, go to method 3.

    Method 2: Disable automatic reboot in case of system failure

    If the system reboots continuously, do the following:

    1. reboot the computer.

    2. as the computer restarts, press the F8 key repeatedly until you see the Windows Advanced Options screen.

    3. use the arrow keys to select disable automatic system error rebootand press ENTER.

    4. If you receive an error message, follow these steps to search the Microsoft Knowledge Base for useful information about the error message:

    a. copy the text of the error message.

    b. visit the following Microsoft Web site:

    http://support.Microsoft.com

    (http://support.microsoft.com)

    c. type the text of the error message in the Search box, and then type the name of the product you are using, for example "Windows XP".

    d. click on Searchand try to find an article that will help you solve your problem.

    If this method worked, you have resolved the problem of your computer restarts continuously. However, you can continue to troubleshoot driver problems. See the "Symptoms" section again and determine which method to use to solve the problem.

    If this method worked, you are finished. If this method does not work for you, please try Method 3.

    Method 3: Use the known last good Configuration feature

    If you can start the computer successfully, you can use the known last good Configuration feature. This feature uses information that was saved the last time that you shut down the computer before the problems started. This feature allows to restore your registry settings and drivers to the previous information.

    If you are not completely sure what that means, don't worry. None of these reviews will damage your computer. However, you should be aware that if you do this, any changes made to your computer after the date of last known good configuration will be lost.

    If you have recently installed a driver and know a configuration problem, this method will probably work for you. Unfortunately, this feature does not solve the problems caused by missing drivers or corrupt or files.

    To use the last good known Configuration, follow these steps:

    a. restart the computer.

    (b) that the computer restarts, press the F8 key repeatedly until you see the Windows Advanced Options screen.

    c. use the arrow keys to select last good Configuration known (your most recent settings that worked), and then press ENTER.

    d. If you are prompted to select an operating system, use the arrow keys to select the operating system and press ENTER.

    If this method worked, your computer is restored to a good working state. You still have to investigate on what caused this problem. To do this, please see the "Next steps" section for troubleshooting resources more.

  • System Configuration utility

    I had a hotline to change how windows starts and clear my system for viruses etc.

    I have no w received a message on my pc every time you start by saying that the system utility is in diagnostic or selective startup mode.

    I need to choose normal startup on the general tab mode to start windows normally and undo the changes you made by using the system configuration utility. Help!

    Where is THE general tab and that make the changes I need to do when?

    That's why using msconfig to deal with start-up problems is the wrong way to go.

    To answer your specific question, click Start, then click Run, type msconfig in the box "Open", and then click OK.

    Running msconfig starts the System Configuration utility.  It has several tabs, the leftmost is the general tab you're looking for. Click the general tab and then click on the 'Normal Startup' radio button.  And then click OK.

    When you restart, you'll be in normal mode - but probably some problem has prompted "phone support" to run msconfig first place will return.

    If you want to fix things rather than simply hide them with msconfig, please post describing the problem that comes up when you restart in Normal mode.

    For me, the problem was intermittent (same registry key would sometimes cause the issue and sometimes not - must be corrupted sometimes) so it was impossible to tell what program it was.  Fortunately, there is a newspaper, you can watch that will tell you exactly what registry key is slightest mistake out.  Here are the steps to get the newspaper, you must see:

    When you see the error message, follow these steps:

    1.) press SHIFT + F10 to get to a command prompt

    2.) stand C:\windows\Panther

    4.) copy the file to another computer that has Windows 7 setup.etl corrupt system.  Place it at the root of C:\ for easier access.

    5.) open a prompt on the Windows 7 computer.

    6.) navigate to the root of C:\ (or anywhere where you saved the file)

    7.) type "tracerpt setup.etl o logfile.csv.

    8.) close command prompt and open logfile.csv in your text editor of choice.

    9.), look in the log file (near the end, probably) for messages that say "Failed to key"reg"process or one of its descendants" to me, the exact eror looked like this: "failed to process the"reg"key or one of its descendants: [profile \REGISTRY\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ESET\ESET Security\CurrentVersion\Plugins\01000200\Profiles\@My] ' If you search for"«key reg"' or «failed in the process»»» You should find the failure.

    10.) remove this software from your image, or how to get the registry key that does not work properly.

    After that, you should be able to correctly identify any key problem and the elimination/workaround on your image.

  • Windows XP system using more than 50% of the CPU

    Hello

    Recently, my windows XP works very slowly, with system interruptions take up more than 50% of CPU, most of the time. I've updated all the drivers yesterday, the problem disappeared for a few hours then reappeared again.

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

  • My computer takes 9 minutes to start when you turn on. Where can I find the system configuration to abandon some of the start up programs that I don't need.

    I said the reason that my computer takes 9 to 15 minutes to complete the commissioning is there are too many programs that start automatically when I turn it on. They said to click on start and type system configuration and deselect some of the programs to start automatically. I typed in the run dialogue box but nothing.  How do I know where to find it and can you tell me which ones I should NEVER disable? Thank you.

    You type: msconfig in the Run dialog box.

    Under the Startup tab disable this you never or rarely use.

    You will always be able to use them whenever you want without going back to msconfig.

    On the Services tab, click Hide all Microsoft Services, and then choose the ones you want to start when you start your computer.

    coz its not user frndly, thank you

    My apologies, I must have misread the topics when I did my first answer. For some reason, I got it in my head, whether you use Windows 7 32 bit.

    I stand by my original comments well that although I appreciated now that you are referring to Windows XP.

    If you want to go to 64-bit Windows XP I'm not sure if this is even possible now. Unless you buy a commercial version second hand. If you can, make sure that it comes with an installation CD.

    To check the compatibility 64 bit XP the following may be useful...

    It will be even more important to check the hardware/software compatibility via the websites of the manufacturers.

    Hi Se80799442,

    Adobe trial and purchased applications are same, if you are showing that the trial has expired it would be a mistake to solve this, you can check the link below:

    ( Make sure you use the same Adobe ID / Email ID that you used to purchase the subscription )

    Download the creative application of cloud from here: Download Adobe Creative Cloud apps | Adobe Creative Cloud free trial

    Connect and disconnect activate Cloud Creative applications

    If it does not help him follow the link below

    Adobe Creative Cloud apps back in test mode after 2015 set CC to update

    * NOTE: Make sure that your firewall of your computer or security software firewall does not block Adobe, if you are not sure of it then just turn off the firewall for awhile disconnect you and you connect on the creative application of cloud and check.

    Let us know if that helps.
