Running Windows 7, after 2 hours RAM gradually fills up to 98% & then hangs, RAM increased from 4 to 8 GB today, but always happens.

This problem started there is no apparent reason, a week running any sort of cleaning tool etc I can find.  Sometimes even if I close all the programs that I am running. Any suggestions that I should try then please? (the computer is a Dell Inspiron 660 - about 2 years).

Just in case where it is useful to someone else, I'm used to live with the problem & make a reboot every 2 or 3 hours and now as suddenly as the problem happened he disappeared without my taking recent action - she now operate normally for 5 days.  I guess that a MS Update may have inadvertently sorted.

  • Cannot run Windows 7 after installing Windows XP.

    Hi all, I have a problem with my windows system. I've been a happy user of Windows 7 Professional, but I missed my old XP, then I installed it, and... I can't run Windows 7 now. I can't choose the OS I want to use, but Windows XP runs as all other systems were not. You know, where is the problem? Need help please, if you can.

    Thanks for all the help.

    If you overwrite your Windows 7 partition in the process and you have valid licenses for both systems, then you can try to change the Windows XP boot manager to restore the Windows 7 operating system:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/306559/en-us

    The article is a bit old, but its principles will probably still allow you to dual boot Windows 7 and XP provided you delete the Windows 7 partition when you reinstalled XP.

    While the dual-boot will probably work for you, I think it would be better for you to perform a Windows Anytime Upgrade to Windows 7 Pro or above and then use the XP compatibility mode:

  • In Windows 7, after the application of SP1, I can no longer access my phone book from the start menu or use the search function.

    I just applied SP1.  Until I applied this update that everything worked as I expected.

    Since then, whenever I type anything in the search on the start menu, there is no result.  The only exception to this is that if I type in a full path, for example "C:\Program Files\", how I get a list of files in that directory.  If I type in everything that is not a path, as for example the letter p or the word 'paint', told me that "no element not corresponding to your research."

    If I click 'more results', I get an error with a big red x box.  The legend is "search query: = paint", for example if I searched for painting.  The text is "Windows cannot find ': search query = painting '.»  Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again. "I wasn't expecting this error box, but rather a window with a list of search results.
    I have downloaded and run the troubleshooter of research - Mats_Run.search.exe.  It tells me that no errors have been detected and gave me the option to reset the search.  I did this, then waited a whole day to search for re - index, but the results are the same.
    In addition, after reading a few other questions on the microsoft Web site, I've done different things which seem to as they should not work - I have turned me folder, active random registry settings options, etc..  Indeed, none of these things had an impact or shows something unusual.
    Also, I can access is no longer my home directory from the start menu.  If I click on my user name that appears in the upper right corner of the menu start, the start menu closes and nothing happens.
    There are a few other circumstances where I can't reach my directory.  For example, if I have an Explorer pointed toward a library, say "Downloads", if I click on my user name in the breadcrumb path, he will remain in the directory downloads instead of going to my home folder, as I expect.  Also, if I click on my user name in the Favorites list in the left pane of the Explorer, I would expect the Explorer window to access my home folder.  Instead, he remains in the folder where he currently resides.
    As I said earlier, before applying the update it worked as expected.
    Thanks a lot for your time!

    Accident can happen in playing a game or even your browsing Firefox. Maybe she took place even though I did not use the computer, came back, and it was restarted.

Insufficient for new updates that are listen below cause the PSU stress itself?

  • I am running Windows XP and all of a sudden Firefox fills my whole screen. Toolbars disappeared upstairs and downstairs. Can move is more easily between Firefox and other programs. Help!

    I am running Windows XP and suddenly find that Firefox fills my whole screen. Of course I pressed a key combination that has created this problem, but I can't get it back to normal. The Firefox toolbars at the top of the screen disappeared and so I can't access my favorites. The windows at the bottom of the screen status bar disappeared. Help, please!

    Apparently, you have set Firefox to auto update. He has probably updated to the new version, Firefox 4.0.

    To check if this is true, go to your bar menu at the top of the screen. If you don't see the menu bar, you can activate it by right clicking on an empty area in the upper part. Of this, you should see the menu bar, toolbar Tools Navigation, Bookmarks Toolbar, toolbar add-on, etc.. Click on those you want to activate.

    Once this is done, you can check your plugins to make sure they are up-to-date with the latest security patches.

  • CANNOT write to files in the shared folder of XP on a PC running windows 7 - but good vice versa

    I have a laptop under Windows 7 (SP1) and a desktop running XP (SP3).  I have connected both via a wireless network. While I can see and access shared files/folders from one computer to the other computer, I can only read/write files in the shared folder on the portable computer that is running Windows 7.

    If I try and change a file in the shared folder from the PC under XP on my laptop, I get the message "this file is set to read-only. Try again with a different name "."  I know that the file is NOT checked for read-only. When I change the name of the file I get the error message "\\Desktop\SharedDocs\filename.doc you are not allowed to save in this location. Contact the administrator for approval.  You want to save in the folder my documents instead? "If I save the file to another location on the laptop under Win7 it save then OK.  I can not just save a modified version of the file in the same shared folder from desktop running XP.
    It seems that it must be something to do with permissions and access to the parameters of the desktop running XP but I can not find these. Fairly easy to find in Windows 7.
    Finally, I don't have a login/password set for the connection to the computer to Office XP.  I don't have a user name and password for the laptop Win7 but you have turned off password protected sharing.
    Anyone have a solution to this?
    Thank you

    OK - the problem is now resolved.

    I noticed that the read-only for the shared folder has been checked. When I unchecked it and also checked the box "allow network users to change my files" in the shared folder properties/sharing, I was able to modify and save files in the shared folder on my laptop.
    It's a little weird because I thought I had done this the other day where the results have been less successful.  Strange.
    Thanks for your help.

    Why you're not able to get the new June 20th, 2016 updates on your creative cloud, if you are running Windows 7.

    So I spent all day on this because Adobe did not anywhere that I could find it. But I'm hoping some of you to save a lot of time wasted... you can't upgrade to the latest version of the application if you have not all updates to Windows 7.


    If you're like me and do not want anything to do with the Windows updates... you may encounter the same problem. Summer/don't I am not at all interested in Windows 10 (who they are sneaking into regular updates) so I don't usually have enabled updates. If you don't... you cannot upgrade your program to the latest version. Creative cloud not even give the option.


    I think it's the Microsoft Visual C++ or something like that who needs update to run the latest version of the software... If you do not have it on your system, you do not install the new updates properly, but be careful not to download sneaky windows 10 "update." Know how it's called blindly here before update you.

    I hope that helps some of you save a whole day unnecessarily.

  • Message "Non-genuine Windows" & Windows Update does not work after replacing the RAM.

    Hello

    I have a PC desktop HPE-170 a current running Windows 7 Home Premium SP1, which has been installed on the machine by the store where I bought it. It has been properly activated and has worked very well for 18 months or more.

    The other day it decided to not start and a computer savvy friend corrected the problem by removing the RAM memory cards, clean the gold plated connectors and re - insert the. This fixes the problem and it started again.

    Today I received a message on the computer of Microsoft saying "your copy of Windows is not genuine" and he invited me to "solve online. Well, click on the 'My Computer' icon showed me that windows was still active.

    By clicking on the "solve Online" link took me to a validation page, where after she tried to validation, it says "The Validation failed" and advised me to buy another copy of Windows 7 HP for AUD $149. Gee, thanks, but no thanks Microsoft. I clicked on cancel and the non-genuine message has not yet reappeared.

    I also found now that Windows Update doesn't work that way.

    I rang MS that says that I need the Windows 7 Setup disk. When I said that I don't have one, they advised me to ring HP. I didn't have time to complete the phone call from HP, but I believe that HP wants me to reset the system to factory with them State guide me by phone.

    I have a genuine copy of Windows, a product key, and it shows as activated.  From what I understand the system think that I tried to put my copy of Windows 7 on a new computer or similar? I'm not sure.

    Is it really difficult to get the system works just like before?

    Thanks for the reply.

    I'm afraid I don't understand your instructions. I think that you are a fair way waiting for me in the issues of tech savvy.
