Satellite Pro 6200: message of USB on the faster USB speed

When I plug a device into one or two of my USB ports on my 6200 Pro Satellite laptop computer it gives me a message saying that he could perform quickly, but it does not guide me on how to do it. Any ideas on this subject?

This message means that you have connected a fast USB (Version 2.0... or an external hard drive) to a USB (Universal Serial Bus) port that does not support the USB 2.0 standard.

This message appears on older laptops, that were not equipped with the latest hardware USB 2.0. There is no way to upgrade your laptop to USB 2.0, unless you buy a USB 2.0 card (PCMCIA USB2 adapter) external

Speed of the USB Version 1.0 (max 12 Mbit/s) to 2.0 (480 Mbps) is huge.

Satellite A30-203: never cooling stops when the adapter is plugged

Hello everyone,

I'm using satellites SA30-203. In recent days, main fan of my computer ceases when the adapter is plugged. When operating with the battery, the main fan is sometimes - normally - stop.
I'm not working only not with software that it takes a lot of CPU. So, what could be the problem?

Kind regards
Tunc

Hi Tunc

In my opinion the activity of the CPU is not affected only by the software you use, but all activities. Many of these activities work constantly in the background and the works of CPU. Please don t forget that the processor is not the only source that produces a lot of heat. The graphics card is also responsible for the heat.

As you know all the hardware components are placed side by side and it needs to be cooled correctly. On my Qosmio F20 cooling fan starts to run even if the download of some files is active.

Believe me that there is no problem. You have a device of high technology with the latest hardware components and the unit must be cooled properly. I can recommend you to change method of cooling in electricity from the night before and put it in silent mode.

Good luck!

This kind of accident happens often.

Thank you

Hi MaysamSh,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft answers Community Forums.

Have you installed applications, tools, updates, before what happened the first time?

Have you ever run a current virus scanner to scan the system?

Accidents happen also in safe mode?

You can follow the steps in the link below on how to start in safe mode

Start your computer in safe mode

http://windowshelp.Microsoft.com/Windows/en-us/help/323ef48f-7b93-4079-a48a-5c58eec904a11033.mspx

If it works fine in safe mode, it clearly means a third-party program is interfering with your connection. To find the program you need to do a clean boot. Follow the steps below to clean boot procedures.

1. click on start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER. (If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.)

2. in the general tab, click Selective startup.

3. under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.

4. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all.

5. click on OK.

6. When you are prompted, click on restart.

7 log on to your account.

Test of Windows Explorer.

If the problem does not reappear when your computer is in clean boot mode, a background program probably causes interference. You may need to update the program or uninstall program for this program works. You can try to determine which background program is causing the problem when the computer is in clean boot mode.

"I cleaned the registry.<-- red="">

In truth - it looks like you did most of the things that I would recommend to someone trying to clean their machine. Your best choice - honestly - this is a new installation. Back up everything you'll need (installation media, product keys, your data) and correctly install the operating system updated with the latest service pack, install the latest hardware device drivers * web pages of * individual builders, install your antivirus and hop on the Internet to update the other 100 + post-SP3 updates for Windows XP before you install other programs.

You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

-Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
-Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
-Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
2. click on the System Restore tab.
3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

-Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.

-Click OK.
-Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
-Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

Problem with MSINFO32. EXE and Total/available vs Page file space virtual memory reported

I am running Windows XP Professional SP3 with all installed updates, latest hardware drivers, etc.. It is a CLEAN installation on a material brand new, completed a week ago.
The "/ PAE" switch is enabled in the boot.ini file.

When I run MSINFO32. EXE, the summary of the system is the following:
System model: System product name
System type: X 86-based PC
Processor: x 86 family 16 model 4 Stepping 3 Mhz-AuthenticAMD ~ 3515
The version of the BIOS/Date: American Megatrends Inc. 1702, 22/12/2010
SMBIOS Version: 2.5
Windows directory: C:\WINDOWS
System directory: C:\WINDOWS\system32
Starting device: \Device\HarddiskVolume2
Locale: United States
Layer of HAL: Version = "5.1.2600.5512 (xpsp.080413 - 2111).
Username: username MYUSERNAME01\My (redacted for privacy)
Time zone: Pacific Daylight Time
Total physical memory: 8 MB 192,00
Available physical memory: 2.60 GB
Total virtual memory: 2.00 GB
Available virtual memory: 1.96 GB
Page file space: 7.07 GB
File: E:\pagefile.sys

Right click on 'my computer' and selecting 'Properties' shows exact needs to be visible to a 32 bit OS... 3.24 GB of RAM. So, how MSINFO32. EXE is able to detect all of 8 GB is totally beyond me. But this isn't my problem.

My BIG PROBLEM is the virtual memory. If I open the root of my drive E:\, it shows the swap file to size: 4 096 MB. And that's how it is in 'my computer' > 'Advanced' > 'Performance' > 'Advanced' > 'virtual memory' > 'change'.
Custom size:
-Initial size (MB): 4096
-Maximum size (MB): 4096
Total size of file for all readers:
-Minimum authorized: 2 MB
-Recommended: 4978 MB
-Currently allocated: 4080 MB

Why is-MSINFO32. EXE, statement my total virtual memory 2 GB and the size of pagefile 7.07 GB? Neither is correct! Can someone explain just what the heck happens here? My research on Google, many other people report the same total/available virtual memory amounts, with wildly different hardware configurations. I changed the size manually and rebooted several times, without result. I had the pagefile, sitting in a 5 GB partition, and then he moved on to another drive with plenty of space and assign "System managed". Divergence still existed.

The material is as follows:
[|] ASUS M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3 BIOS v1702 [|] AMD PhenomII x 4 (970 Black Edition) [|] Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C8 (x 2) mode modules together ~ 800 Mhz & calendar 8-8-8-24 [|] Integrated graphics card Radeon HD 4250 with 128 MB + 512 MB memory [|] ASUS VE248H 24 "1080 p HD LED monitor [|] Drives from Maxtor 6V250F0 (x 4) 250 GB SATAII 1.5 Gbps [|] LG BD - DL Optical Drive WH10LS30 [|] Creative Labs X - Fi Platinum Sound Card [|] Logitech LX 700 keyboard/mouse wireless [|]

I changed the speed / "timing" on the RAM to run ~ 666 Mhz @ 9-9-9-24, and the problem persists. As far as I know, he is not actually detrimental to the system; that is, it does not regularly, crash or anything. But the fact that MSINFO32. EXE cannot obtain such a right basis is VERY disturbing for me. There is no state what operating system says it is, then what fundamental problem may arise at some point in the future? Or is already there, hidden and wait a moment when the system load is high until it rears its ugly head and denounces all?
I wonder if I should completely eliminate virtual memory? Or at least reduce the pagefile to 2 GB or close? After all, I can't imagine many running programs as long as 3.24 GB (RAM available for the operating system) is not sufficient to contain all this. I guess only he pourrait happen, however, is why I'm reluctant to totally renounce virtual memory.

Anyway. Responses of all appreciated. Gimme a solutionand I will give my first-born. Or at least the neighbors...

Hi VesanusTempestatum,

Your question is more complex than what is generally answered in the Microsoft Answers forums. It is better suited for the IT Pro TechNet public. Please ask your question in the following forum.

Windows XP IT Pro category

My PC has been freezing on me. I am running 32-bit Vista Home Premium.

My PC has been freezing on me. Everything just hangs and I have to use the reset button. I don't know why its happening, but its very predictable and only occurs under very specific conditions.

It happens ONLY when I have "Shut Down", leave my computer off for at least a few hours and then turn it back on. It does not matter if I leave the power on or off. It will freeze in a few minutes to turn on my PC.

Once I use the reset button, it freezes more until I have stop and wait for a few hours yet.

If I stopped and turn it back on in a few minutes, it does not freeze. I haven't checked if pre-empting the gel by stopping before the Frost occurs prevents occur, I'll probably test the next time I have to leave my PC turned off for an extended period of time.

If I use "Restart", it does not freeze. Although an old problem with very a decrease in performance after using "Restart" is still there. (Note: it is a very old problem that I've never been able to fix,.) I took several technology experts, and may not understand what is the cause either, but I found a temporary solution. Using Shut Down and then turn the PC back returns performance back to normal. Occurs when a reboot occurs as a result of the update of Windows too, so I just avoid using any form of "Restart" whenever possible, but I have always been updated Windows. I think that its not related to this problem of gel.)

If I put it on sleep mode and come back after many hours, it does not seem to freeze. Recently, it froze once after that, but it didn't happen since then, so it might be a fluke.

I don't know what is happening. It happened very rarely over the past 2 years but only started happening every time in the last 3 months. Windows told me recently that he recovered from a blue screen when it happened, but this message appeared only once so far.

Whenever it freezes, I mean a period of activity of the HDD for about 2 seconds. And then read/write rhythmic sounds half lasting one second time per second, which continues for about 10 seconds. After that, the hard drive noise settle in a low kind of drone. I can barely hear the hard disk read or write something, but its much softer. It doesn't seem to change this State no matter how long I leave it.

I think its some sort of hardware failure that only happens when the PC components are 'cold', if that's even possible, but I can't be sure.

Speculation as to what is the cause of software or hardware? If it's a hardware problem, is there a particular part of the PC which would cause it to freeze predictable in such a specific circumstance?

I use mode sees as a temporary solution instead of closing my PC, but I fear that the problem will be extended later.

My motherboard is old enough that my CMOS battery is dying, it became apparent a month ago. I'll soon change the battery. I don't know if the problem might be related.

Hello

Start by making sure that the software is running properly and change this battery CMOS ASAP.

And always make sure that the latest hardware drivers are downloaded and installed on your computer manufacturer's Web site.

Go to their site > drivers download section > your model number > operating system > drivers > download and install.

Burning DVD Maker to 98.9% errors

I'm trying to burn a WMV video to DVD that has been converted to a 1 hour long FLV video to 320 x 240. DVD Maker cannot create the disc. The Windows event viewer application log records these two entries:

I burned the DVD in the past, but all this happens from time to time. The last time that I fixed it by unchecking the compressor in Movie Maker AVI codec, but that didn't work this time. I have all the latest Microsoft updates and patches including SP2 and all the latest hardware drivers. I tried to uninstall all 3rd and associated codecs advantage DVD creators. When I convert the FLV file to WMV format, I used the Koyote free video converter program. I uninstalled for too much from this program.

Buy a new laptop

Hey guys, I don't know exactly where to post this question so I'm sorry if I chose the wrong advice. I'll buy a new laptop after finding that it would be quite expensive to upgrade my only current because it has a close-knit motherboard. I'm willing to pay a pretty penny for a new, but I want to assure you that I do so wisely. I definitely want to stay with a HP laptop, but I wondered what one to get. I read that the 6th generation intel core i7 is not only significantly different from the 7th generation, so if I could get a 6th that would diminish how much I spend. I also read upward on hard disks compared to SSD and the effectiveness of the two discs, as well as HD Graphics cards from intel with NVIDIA graphics cards. What I ask is essentially what should I pay attention to and be prepared to spend a little extra for because it will significantly improve the performance of the laptop. I use my laptop for school work, but I also like playing Sims on it has been ridiculously slow and current lag on my laptop with i3 processor. Thanks for any information you can give me.

I guess you are still waiting for a response to your last post. Maybe, I can add to the info already above.

Right, I've actually read these articles before and have found them very useful is, but I'm still uncertain on what I should take in a laptop. For example, with the games I'm going to do is it better for me to get a 1 TB hard drive, a 256 GB SSD or a hybrid of the two.

An SSD will give you performance much faster when you start the operating system from a program (especially games), video rendering, etc. etc. An SSD will give you the difference in most remarkable overall speed of any hardware upgrade.

Some laptops have the ability to have an SSD and HDD. It is the most ideal that you can load the operating system and programs on the SSD, then use the HARD drive for storage. I'd look for 250 GB or more in an SSD.

The ability to make quick graphic intense games depends on what game you play, and play on which dedicated map settings you have.

Shopping for a car. Power/speed costs money. The more you spend, the faster the car.

A 740M nvidia does not have a very powerful graphics card.

For the high-end gaming, get the faster you can help.

The most recent nvidia 1060 m with dedicated memory would be a good start if play stuff like cod or battlefield. The Sims on the other hand, is not as demanding and you could come out with intel integrated. The Sims 4 also has a parameter to optimize it for the graphics of the laptop.

Integrated video is based entirely on the use of the computers for the memory Ram and is slower. Dedicated video has its own memory built in and does not need to ram system unless he runs.

A Core i7 6th generation is significantly slower than a Core i7 7th generation?

The amount of system memory should I get?

There will always be many opinions on this type of subject. The biggest difference that I've read about this is that the 7th gen will have much better video handling 4 k, if you use the built in graphics of the CPU. Otherwise, it's not a big gain in overall performance. But the latest models of PC usually have the latest hardware, so no worries anyway.

7th generation CPU will only work Windows 10, no downgrading to Win7.

Most of the gaming laptops will come with 8 GB of memory minimum. Who should handle most everything you do, except if you plan to make multimedia processing such as photoshop, video files high-end rendering in Premier Pro, etc. If that's what you do, then more is better.

IF you are willing to spend money on a higher end game system, take a look at HP Omen.

Its configurable so that you can upgrade the hardware on the basic model to purchase.

Just my 2 cents.

Hope that answers your questions.
