Minimum files required for pc at startup?

Hello

Use the clean boot method and other suggestions of performance:

----------------------------------------------------

What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have on the machine? Be one you have NEVER
on this machine, including those you have uninstalled (they leave leftovers behind which can cause
strange problems).

----------------------------------------------------

Follow these steps:

Start - type this in the search box-> find COMMAND at the top and RIGHT CLICK – RUN AS ADMIN

Enter this at the command prompt - sfc/scannow

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 displayed: 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 manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system 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 actually install
presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
necessary.

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

Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
get new manually if you wish.

===========================================

Refer to these discussions because many more excellent advice however don't forget to check your antivirus
programs, the main drivers and BIOS update and also solve the problems with the cleanboot method
first.

    Hello

    What installation media you are using?

    Method 1:

    Error 0 x 80070017 translates "CRC error" which means that the files that are copied from the disc are not making it to the hard drive with the same structure, which means that the 'original' the disk files are modified/changed/corrupted while being copied to the location of the 'destination' on your disk during Setup.

    This usually means a bad DVD, or an error reading on the DVD player.

  • Minimum hardware requirements for ESXi 5

    Hello

    I am a newbie of virtualization and ESXi so please help me on these issues:

    I intend to host 1 Windows 2008 Server and 1 Pfsense on the same host with ESXi. The two servers to serve a small number of users (less than 10). The Win2k8 runs just small .NET application and the just Pfsense will act as a router/gateway for web portal (without VPN, nothing complicated here).

    I checked the minimum requirements for VMWare ESXi here (KB VMware: minimum system requirements for installing ESX/ESXi) but still uncertain before buying new equipment to run ESXi because the specifications said ESXi only works on 64-bit x 86 CPU.

    I'm looking at this PC:

    CPU: Processor Intel® Celeron® 1037U (2 MB Cache, 1.80 GHz)

    RAM: 8G RAM Support memory DDR3 2 G / 4G / 8G / 16G, DDR3 1333 / 1600 MHz

    Storage: 64G SSD


    ESXi will install OK on this system?


    Thank you

    Hello

    Intel http://ark.intel.com/products/71995/Intel-Celeron-Processor-1037U-2M-Cache-1_80-GHz CPU specs this should work in general, but can cause performance problems as this Celeron has only 2 hearts.

    Another thing to consider is the RAM, ESXi 5.5 OS takes about 4 GB of RAM on the 8 GB leaving you 4 GB for VMs Windows 2008 with less than 4 GB wil be quite slow and sooner or later begin to swap to disk.

    Also the motherboard used is something check with HCL as at the storage controller and connect it on Board should be compatible.

    The road easier to go is to get the material at the level of the server that is listed in the HCL, you can find systems awarded new/used being fully compatible. It would be much more reliable than the construction of a whitebox on office equipment system.

  • Minimum system requirements for Windows

    I'm having a 'debate' with a friend about the minimum hardware specs for Windows 7 and Windows 8.  My friend is suggesting that Microsoft greatly underestimates the amount of hard drive capacity required to support these two BONES.  Specifically, he mentioned that they do not consider the amount of space for the cache files and temporary files necessary for the operation of Windows and they minimize the requirements in order to sell the operating system.

    My thoughts are that if these files are required to run the operating system, then Microsoft took them into consideration and include them in the analysis that its in line/compatibility upgrade tool performs.
    You wonder what some of you think about these things.

    Minimum is a lot different than recommended. Minimum is the lowest absolute that is needed to install and use Windows. This will work, but not well. Some of the older style netbook PC being used to the strict minimum and they worked well, but they were very limited in what they could do. Web browsing, light word processing was what you could do with good performance. Other that that, you do not want to upgrade the RAM and hard drive.

    It is very recommended to exceed the minimum requirements for an operating system if you want to use it for any practical purpose, however.
