  I can attach photos to an email, but it fails before the end. Probably because Outlook is selected in Preferences/editing/action. I only have Adobe and no prospects, no windows for vista mail. Should I have a corrupted file? How can I get windows messages in the menu. It works well with elements 6.

  I think that you may need to use Windows Live Mail for current versions of PSE - Windows Essentials: other programs - Microsoft Windows

• I updated my drivers and now my computer runs very slowly. How to solve the problem?

  I've recently updated my Intel graphics driver and my drivers Nvidia because they were terribly outdated. As a result, I am able to run some games that I couldn't run before, but my computer became very slow. Now, the startup time is significantly slower, and the worst part is that the actual performance of the system is slower. I checked in the Task Manager, and my physical memory constantly rotates between 40 and 60% (I have 8 GB of RAM, Windows 7) without any game or program being open, except the web browser and Skype.

  What is perhaps the reason for this problem? Is certainly the problem in the drivers? How to solve the problem?

  "My graphics card is GEFORCE GTX 660 M. Is it compatible with the latest driver? »

  Ah! A laptop computer. With laptops, it is generally better to download the driver from the mfg, not Nvidia.

  This is because the computer laptop mfg bring changes that can make the improper generic Nvidia driver.

  and while I always count should not slow down the system... You never know.

  "What services I need to run.

  
  Just to keep the correct terminology-

  Services is the area where you stopped the service of bitlocker.

  The start is where you keep things from loading when you start in Windows.

  -Most of the time what's in Startup deactivation is something personal need, but there are some things that

  I must be on the left.

  I leave the Intel common user interfaceand Installshield update service, mainly because I don't bother

  Discover what they are doing.

  I also let anti-virus, Realtek audio, software profile keyboard and a few other things active.

  I don't have Adobe Flash loading with Windows, but I don't use it a lot, and when I do the software that

  uses it it launches automatically.

  The bottom line here is that if you have software that you use all the time, it is more convenient to have it start with

  Windows.

  -Concerning the Services. This also has to do with personal preferences to a certain extent, but most things can be left alone.

  I do not use the Services tab in the Configuration of the system, because I think it's only a one time adjustment.

  (Clean boot, linked earlier, is the best tool for the verification of conflicts with Services)

  To stop or disable a Service manually, tap - services.msc - in the run command to open

  the main window of Services.

  There is an Adobe Flash update in Services that should be kept, but when Adobe makes an update

  I select the option notify me, but not to install it automatically.

  I always preferred this with any updates, including Windows updates as there is less chance of a corrupt

  Update If you're aware, it happens and do not do something intensive system while the update is being installed, particularly when an update requires a restart to complete.

  -Registry. In the control run, type - regedit - and browse the registry with the file path in the

  previous post and follow the instructions. You can save the key you are modify if you wish, that the use of the

  backup to change the value to what is current would be faster than navigating to the key again.

  -When playing around with things you are not familiar with creating a System Restore point before you

  making these changes is a good insurance policy.

  If you don't know how to create a system restore point - time to do some research.

  In fact, all of the above is covered by tons of tutorials out there in the www.

  SSD vs HDD - the specifications of the system for you the machine should be in your user manual or on the

  MFG web site.

  Prefetch is useful with HARD drive, because it improves performance somewhat, but read-ahead is not really necessary with SSD.

  and can reduce the life expectancy SSD a bit (there is debate on gravity)

  More research for more details. D

  -If you use a HARD disk and that you have enabled Prefetch, the Prefetch will be rebuilt over time, if you delete the files.

  -Here's another tip for when you are not sure of the impact of deleting files.

  Rename file/folder. You can do something like add another couple of P to the front, or a 1a which will move

  the file to the top of the window. If nothing is wrong in the next few days, you can delete the folder.

  This method protects to empty the trash accidentally and lose the file/folder.

  -Speaking of deleting the file. A great TEMP folder can slow things way down.

  Run Windows, Disk Cleanup . This will remove many files in the Temp folder.

  Or, for a full, clean, go to the - your User\AppData\Local\Temp

  Open the Temp folder and delete anything that can be deleted (impossible to delete the files that are used).

  -Defragment your HARD drive

  -Run the Zig - zag Kit you'd use again and analyze the results.

  It was a long, huh!

Generally, the experienced users erasing the hard drive and do a clean install from scratch at least once a year or every time that the installation of a major upgrade of the OS. Well sure doing so also means that you need to maintain regular and several backups.

  Restart your computer normally and see if it helped at all. Then do little maintenance:

  For disk utility can't handle situations, the best third party is Disk Warriorutility;  Fixed DW only for problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by the corruption of directory; Warrior drive 4.x is now compatible with Intel Mac.

  Note: Alsoft ships DW on a bootable DVD that will boot Mac running Snow Leopard or earlier. He cannot start Mac that came with Lion or later preinstalled, however, DW will work on these models.

  Suggestions for OS X maintenance

  OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are supposed to take place on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. Maintenance scripts that are run at the beginning AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep). If this isn't the case, then a great solution is to download and install a shareware like Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacronor Anacron utility that will automate the maintenance regardless of whether activity if the computer is off or asleep.  Dependence on third-party utilities to run periodic maintenance scripts has been significantly reduced since Tiger.  These utilities have little or no functionality with Snow Leopard or later version, and must not be installed.

  OS X automatically defrags files smaller than 20 MB in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files it little need to defragment the hard drive.

  Under no circumstances should you install operating MacPaw or ZeoBit software (CleanMyMac/CleanMyDrive or Mac Keeper, respectively.) You don't need special software to keep your computer.

  Useful links about malware Protection

  Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click the Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If it stops your problem, then re-enable one by one until the problem returns. Now remove this extension as it is the origin of the problem.

  The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.

  Difficulty a few pop ups browser that supported Safari

  Common pop - ups include a message saying that the Government has taken over your computer and you pay release (often called "Moneypak"), or a false message saying that your computer has been infected and you need to call a number of tech support (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it to be resolved. First of all, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and that your computer has not been assigned. This "hack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so don't pay not money, call number, or provide personal information. This article will give an overview of the solution to remove the pop-up window.

  Quit Safari

  Usually, these pop-ups will not go by clicking 'OK' or 'Cancel '. In addition, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in grey, including the option to leave Safari. You'll probably force quit Safari. To do this, press command + option + ESC, select Safari, press on force quit.

  Relaunch Safari

  If you restart Safari, the page will reopen. To avoid this, hold the "Shift" key when opening Safari. This will prevent windows since the last time that Safari was running since the reopening.

  It will not work in all cases. The SHIFT key must be maintained at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window is displayed again. In these circumstances, after force quit Safari, turn off Wi - Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then restart Safari normally. He'll try to reload the malicious Web page, but without a connection, it will not be able to. Leave this page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com and try to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet and the page that you entered is displayed rather than the malicious.

  An excellent link to read is Tom Reed Mac Guide of malicious programs.

  Also, visit the FAQ XLab and read of detection and avoid malicious software and spyware.

  Check out these articles from Apple:

  Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection

  OS X Lion-Protect your Mac against malicious software

  OS X Lion mountain - protect your Mac against malicious software

  OS X Mavericks-Protect your Mac against malicious software

  On the quarantine of file under OS X

  If you need antivirus protection Thomas Reed recommends to use ClamXAV. (Thanks to Thomas Reed to this recommendation.)

  The user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:

  The facts are:

  1. There is no anti-malware software can detect 100% of malware out there.

  2. There is no anti-malware that can detect all targeting the Mac.

  3. the best way to prevent breaches the most is for you as the user is aware that

  the most successful malware attacks rely on sophisticated social engineering

  techniques preying on human greed, * and fear.

  4 Internet pop-up windows telling the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on

  your computer is designed to trick you into installing their malware thinking it's a

  protection against malware.

  5. some of the anti-malware market products are worse than malware

  go where they are supposed to protect you.

  6. be careful where you go on the internet.

  7. don't download anything from sites, you know are safe.

  8 avoid links that you receive in email, always be wary, even if you get something

  you think a friend is, but that you did not expect.

  9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume that it is malware.

  Troubleshooting Applications

  I recommend that you download a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX, Mavericks Cache Cleaneror hiding a Cocktail that you can use to delete the former newspapers and archives, cleaning, etc. Corrupted cache, logs or temporary files can slow down the application or OS X crashes and panics of the kernel.

  If you have leopard snow or leopard, then for similar repairs install Applejackfreeware utility.  If you do not start in OS X, you can boot into single-user mode , where you can run Applejack to make a set of routines for repair and maintenance of the command line.  Note that it takes 1.5 AppleJack for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. Applejack does not work with Lion and later versions.

  Basic backup

  For some people, Time Machine will be more than enough. Time Machine is part of Mac OS X. There are two components:

  1. a panel of Time Machine preferences as part of the system of preferences;

  2. a request for Time Machine, located in the Applications folder. It's

  used to manage backups and restore backups. Time Machine

  requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the

  drive being backed up.

  You can also get an external drive at least equal to the size hard disk internal and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the disk utility's restore option. You can also create and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (the order is not significant):

  1 Carbon Copy clone

  2. get backup

  3 already seen

  4 superDuper!

  5. Synk Pro

  6. Tri-Backup

  Visit The FAQ XLab and read the FAQ on the backup and restore.  Also read How to back up and restore your files. For using Time Machine, visit FAQ Time Machine of Pondini for help with all this time Machine.

  Referenced software can be found at MacUpdate .

  Additional tips

  Make sure you have a sufficient amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run simultaneously. Make sure to leave a minimum of 10% of the capacity of the hard disk as free space.

  Add more RAM. If your computer less than 2 GB of RAM and you use OS X Leopard or later, then you can do it with more RAM. Snow Leopard and Lion works much better with 4 GB of RAM that is their system. Most concurrent applications, that you tend to use the more RAM you should have.

  Always have at least 15 GB, or 10% of the capacity of your hard disk as free space, the largest. OS X frequently accesses your hard disk, so offering enough free space will keep things slow down.

  Check for applications that may be hogging the CPU:

  Before Mavericks

  Open the activity monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select all processes in the drop process .  Click the % CPU column heading twice to display in descending order.  If find you a process that uses a large amount of time processor (> = 70,) then select the process, and then click the quit icon in the toolbar.  Click the force quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Don't forget to mention the name of the runaway process, so you can find the cause of the problem.

  Mavericks and later versions

  Open the activity monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select all processes in the menu display .  Click the CPU tab in the toolbar. Click the % CPU column heading twice to display in descending order.  If find you a process that uses a large amount of time processor (> = 70,) then select the process, and then click the quit icon in the toolbar.  Click the force quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Don't forget to mention the name of the runaway process, so you can find the cause of the problem.

  This problem occurs often because of a corrupted cache or the preferences file or an attempt to write in a corrupted log file.

  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.

• my computer is running very slowly

  ... so I thought may b due to lack of memory main n HDD... my memory of drive is 160 GB memory main n n 2 GB I want to increase the memory of my computer pls give me an idea

  Hello

  More RAM generally contributes to performance, especially if you run memory intensive applications like PhotoShop.
  A faster hard drive can also help as can keep it clean and defragmented.

  Here are some performance controls and tips to help.

  Be careful that a lot of these programs and services really needs to run and often remove some
  contributes little to the speed of the machine while making the less friendly machine to use.

  Optimize the performance of Microsoft Windows Vista

  To see everything that is in charge of startup - wait a few minutes without doing anything - then right click on the task - bar
  The task manager - take a look at stored by - Services - process - it is a quick reference (if you have
  a small box in the lower-left - show for all users can check only).

  How to check and change Vista startup programs
  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/79612-startup-programs-enable-disable.html

  A quick check to see that load method 2 is - using MSCONFIG and then display a list of the people here.

  Method 1 using Windows Defender will tell you more specific information about each program.

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

  It's a little more complicated that you might have a few running services that you can do without.
  Be careful by disabling a service may impact the ability of other agencies to run and cause problems of
  on the road.

  Also some programs add services that might not really need to start automatically. You can
  often these type services put manual to reduce their impact on performance.

  To see these compare these in Start - type in the search box-> find Services at top right click RUN AS ADMIN
  to those of the default Vista as indicated here by BlackViper. Ignore and who are on the disabled (which do not run) or
  Manual (which work only on request) - for any automatic or automatic delayed start you can post here if
  you need help to decide if you should run. Some of these can be assigned to manual and stop so that the calling program can run them as needed.

  BlackViper made also some improvements to default windows services but I wouldn't do those unless you
  really understand the full meaning of change a default service. Then use it as a tool to compare.

  Windows Services - list by default.

  Another thing that helps performance is updated drivers - Vista like the updated drivers.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  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.

  Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
  because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
  pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

  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.

  ReadyBoost can help, more RAM, and ReadyBoost is even better and RAM is pretty cheap these days.

  The max supported in Vista readyboost drive is 4 GB - if you get a larger drive 4 GB you can use the
  rest for storage.

  You need a very fast car and pay little attention to the demands of the manufacturers that they are ready for ReadyBoost as
  even some slow readers claim that.

  ReadyBoost does make a difference

  Minimum memory required for Windows 7 32-bit is 1 GB and the minimum for Windows 7 64-bit is 2 GB.

  Note that they are minimums for Windows, NOT Windows as well as a bunch of other things. If you have bits and bobs like Weatherbug, Speedfan, Networx or anything that takes place in the region of notiification, you need of MORE memory.

  You need to more memory, especially when running invasive sulutions anti-virus like AVG, Norton and McAfee, Kapersky. In fact, you better a any of them works not as there are more effective and less morose autour AV solutions...

  ESET NOD32 is good if you don't mind paying, and Microsoft Security Essentials is good if you prefer free...

  Get the above done and then report back telling us how it happened... :-)

• Add SSD and running BONE of him in a HP desktop computer

  Is it possible to add a SSD in HP P/N: H5Y85AA Desktop 700-070d and displacement of the BONE to this SSD?

  Quick response would be much appreciated.

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  Yes, you can clone your current HARD drive to your new SSD, install new SSD on your computer and run it from there. Please note:

  (un) Normally smaller SSD (2.5 "vs 3.5") so you need a kit of mounting for her, including the following:

  http://www.eBay.com/Sch/i.html?_sacat=0 & _nkw=2.5%22+to+3.5%22+Mounting+adapter+bracket+SSD & _sac = 1

  (b) when cloning, you may need to select only the OS drive, otherwise it does not unless you have the (larger) SSD. There are many free around software

  http://www.TechRepublic.com/blog/five-apps/five-free-and-reliable-cloning-tools/

  and you can also get a kit of cloning of seller for around $10-$15.

  Kind regards.
