• computer does not aftwr trying to upgrade ram

  I just upgraded my ram on my hpdv6 and now the computer does not even start.

  Hello Deborah,.

  Thanks for the post.

  We need additional information to help you better, please answer the following

  1. What RAM slots that you use on the motherboard?
  2. Have you tried to move the RAM to grasp in other slots?
  3. Have you tried to remove the RAM upgrade and returning to more RAM? System now starts?

  Use your old set of RAM to boot into the BIOS, and then manually change the voltage and the timings to the specifications of the new RAM. Save and exit, turn off the machine, put the new RAM in and check the status of the issue.

  Note: BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  I suggest also please contact the manufacturer for help bettre.

  I hope this helps.

• Document windows does not use all the available on new monitor display area

  Hello

  I have a new monitor - a Benq BL2711.

  I have set up as my secondary monitor on display in Windows 8.

  I can put Photoshop (CS6) on this screen and maximize the it, but there is a vast space not used in the document window, which is not used. I want to show a lot more of my images that I can currently, but the document window will not only fill all that screen real estate. A large part of it is lost.

  The panels occupy the right space to the bottom of the screen, but the window of the document (or the display area?) uses only 60% of the height of the screen.

  What is a limitation or do I have to configure something? (I have reset the workspace of photography).

  Thanks for any help

  Nick

  It is really a shot in the water, but it's the space used by the "timeline" Panel when it is open. Try to check in the menu window and close the bottle.

  Other that that, there are always some good old Reset preferences. Make sure you save the custom actions/brushes/presets and so forth first!

  The operating system recognizes my 4 GB RAM (right click on computer then properties), but when I look at the Task Manager,

  What can I do?
  Thank you.

• Computer does not start, all I get is a black screen

  I use family Vista premium and everything worked right up until the other day. My computer froze and I stopped it to restart. After the reboot, it gave me the ability to start windows normally or in safe mode. I selected at startup of windows. After that, I got was a black screen. The computer is still running, I can hear the fans and the ligts are on.

  I have been looking for a solution to this problem and would really like to fix it myself. I tried all the options menu-f, but all I get is the black screen. Vista came pre installed on my computer, so I don't have the cd/dvd of Vista.

  Please help me if you can.

  Hello

  May I ask what computer do you have?
  Why you n t post this important information?

  You can start in safe mode? Maybe a driver or a virus has something confused upward in the Windows registry and the computer can start t more correctly.

  In the worst case, you must reinstall Windows using Toshiba recovery disc. :(

• Computer will not use the drive when you restart.

  I have a Pavilion dv 9000 and had problems more and more lately (win explorer fails, application launcher fail, blue screens, crashes etc.).

  I decided to use the recovery disk that was created at first boot. According to all the manuals that I found (on - and offline), it is just to put the recovery disk in the DVD-ROM and restart.

  The problem is that nothing happens. The computer does not use the disk when it reboots.

  Anyone experienced the same problem with the recovery disk?

  I'm not having any other problems with the ROM, works perfektly once Windows is running.

  Thank you

  You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  Put the CD in the drive and reboot.  When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

  all of a sudden... my computer does not see the things I plug into the usb ports on the front of the computer...?

  If I shut down the computer and plug... he sees the thing then turned back...
  I can not just plug in while the computer is turned on... once again he has used to do this just as well... for some reason any, he sees things now.
  any thoughts?

  Hi KK Waddell.

  Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community.

  I understand that you face the issue with the USB port does not work when you embedded on the front of the computer.

  Before you start the troubleshooting steps, I need the information required.

  1 did you changes to the computer?

  2 did you receive an error message?

  I suggest you to check with the other USB port.

  I suggest you to see the links and check.

• Computer is very slow and IE does not work all the time.

  I bought a computer from my old employeer.  He is doing all sorts of things, or should I say not to do all sorts of things.  It is very slow and IE does not work all the time.  They have questions arise and ask if the administrator oks things and other things like that.  It came with any disks.  I would like to wipe, clean and load a new disc, but I don't know where to find the disc or if I can do it.   Can someone please?

  Hello

  Proceed as follows to contribute to these two questions. You can probably buy the disks of Vista machine to system or get
  the former employer to do it for you if necessary.

  Try these and it can also be a good idea to update your main drivers later. The General corruption can also play a
  role in this issue. And even the TCP/IP stack might need to be refreshed.

  What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have on the machine? Be one you ALREADY had on this
  machine, including those you have uninstalled (they leave leftovers behind which can cause strange problems).

  If no joy there's something blocking perhaps.

  Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - IE with no Addons - what works best?

  IE - Tools - Internet Options - Advanced - tab click on restore, and then click Reset - apply / OK

  IE - Tools - Internet Options - Security tab - click on reset all default areas - apply / OK

  Close and restart IE or IE with no addons

  not better?

  IE - tools - manage Addons (for sure disable SSV2 if it is there, it is no longer necessary but Java always install
  "(and it causes problems - you never update Java to go back in and turn it off again)." Search for other possible problems.

  Windows Defender - tools - software explore - look for problems with programs that do not look right. Permit
  are usually OK and "unauthorized" are not always bad. If in doubt about a program to ask about it here.

  Could be that a BHO - BHOremover - free - standalone program, needs no installation, download and run - not all
  are bad, but some can cause your question (toolbars are BHO).

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
  video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
  cannot do anything as 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 3rd party with their
  own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
  (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the 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.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check 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

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver in the Windows updates,
  This leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who are generally older and cause
  questions. If updates offers a new driver and then hide it (right click on it) and then go look for new ones
  manually if you wish.

  Hi, when you send an email using the mail my signature seems to drop before my email is considered by my beneficiaries. This does not happen all the time but often. Is anyone else know / encountered this problem? If so help to rectify this would be greatly appreciated please. Thank you

• My computer does not recognize my flash drive at all

  In the past I was able to plug my USB key and use it (make changes, and save the information), now when I insert it, nothing happens. The screen displays just the desktop.    The computer does not recognize it.  I tried another drive flash with information on this subject, once again, nothing happened.  I need help how to fix this problem.  Thank you.

  Sounds like your AutoPlay settings need to be adjusted.

  Something to try...

  Insert the flash drive into a USB port and go... Start / my computer...

  The flash player should be recognized by a drive letter...

  Right-click on the drive letter and go... Properties / AutoPlay tab...
  Left click on the button "Restore default settings" / apply / OK.

  Now... Remove and re - insert the flash drive and see if there is an improvement.

  And... the following Wizard may be worth a try:
