  • I am running Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3 (build) 2600 and have a lot of problems.

    Hi all

    I am running Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3 (build) 2600 and have loads and loads of problems. Windows keeps hung and everything I tried didn't seem to help.
    I brought this second hand from a company computer, I used to work and I don't have the original installation cd or rescue disk. I meet a lot of problems and everything takes forever to load and work. I was advised to run maleware, spyware, antivirus and defrag on the computer analyses and I did all that and nothing works. Also, when I tried to run the system restore it wouldn't let me, and when I try to run the scan disk after a reboot it does not work. As a last effort, I tried running SFC and it looked as if it was working, but then it asked me for the initial startup disk, that I don't have. so I tried to cancel it, but now every time that I reboot/restart my computer load SFC and I have to start the entire process. Also, none of my cd drives work. Please help me
    Also, I'm now a message that says minimum virtual memory is very low.
    I would be very grateful for any help or advice anyone can offer us on these issues. a million thanks in advance.

    Hello

    1 how long have you been faced with this problem?
    2. don't you make changes on the computer before this problem?
    3. what exactly happens when you try to run the scan disk or system restore? You receive an error message? If yes then after return the exact error message.

    No software XP, Microsoft no longer offers that you will need to make arrangements for windows XP windows installation CD. You can check the question in the clean boot state.

    From your computer by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs so that you can determine if a background program is interfering with your game or program. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot".

    Reference:
    How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:
    1. click on start and then click Run.
    2. type msconfig and click OK.

    The System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.

    3. click on the tab general, click Normal Startup - load all services and device drivers and then click OK.
    4. When prompted, click on restart to restart the computer.

  • I'm temporarily using a diesel powered computer, running Windows XP Home Edition, Version 2002, Service Pack 3

    I temporarily uses a computer filled with diesel fuel, until I can afford to replace it with an updated model. It is using Windows XP Home Edition, Version 2002, Service Pack 3.
    The problem is that it's totally out of memory and as far as I know, I deleted everything I can, short of service packs and security features, such as malware and anti virus.
    I do a disk Clean up and Defrag on a regular basis, but it shows now that I have zero remaining memory.
    Anyone know how I can free up more memory?
    What happens if I delete ServicePack 1 & 2?
    What happens if I use the restore disc came with the computer? It will remove everything and I start with a clean slate?
    Unfortunately I can't replace this computer for a few months more, what should I do?
    Thank you
    Monica

    You run lack of disk space, not memory, if that's your hard drive, you're referring to :-)

    If you have the service pack installation files on your PC, you can probably pick up near a GB removing them (most likely you do not have).
    You can remove security updates uninstall files and pick up some space here: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13880_3-9862223-68.html
    If there are programs that you use rarely or never, you can uninstall them.

    If you use the recovery disk, it most probably restore you to the day; No program, no service pack, no update of safety, nada, just WinXP right out of the box. I wouldn't recommend, unless you have nothing better to do with your time than to reinstall all your stuff. And if this isn't in SP3, then you will not be able to download updates of security.

    If you have a little cash on hand, you can always get a bigger hard drive and clone this player to the largest (most new hard drives come with software to do). Or if you have geek friends who save ALL their old stuff (like I do), maybe one of them would have a replacement part that they would be willing to give you. Wouldn't hurt to ask :-)

    I installed Windows XP Home edition on my U300 after playing with nlite nd the sata raid drivers.
    I installed all think them, but my card doesn't work his and my webcam also. I m now 3 days on it and t can find a solution. Please if someone else have a successful installation of Windows XP Home on the U300-115, please give some advice.

    BTW, the installation order mentioned on the download driver of the page s + ++ s... Toshiba has a driver install package for us is better.

    Hello

    about the noise I recommend going to www.realtek.com and download the driver from there, which would be much better then the driver on the toshiba site. :)

    In regards to your webcam I Don t know how to help you because I watched the driver download page and I found something didn t. Maybe you should try the camera of another model software since the cameras are the same. I read on some forums (not here) that users tried with their machines and it worked for them.

    It s worthy to give it a try.

  • Not enough memory, but only one partition is almost empty. running Windows XP Home Edition

    My computer says there is not enough memory available to perform the printing.  When I tried to defrag, there is not enough memory to perform this function, either.   Several years ago a friend introduced (then new) computer with 2 partitions - C and F drive.  Everything I've done seems to be on the C drive.  Now the C drive = 935 MB free of 19.52 GB of capacity, while F = 56.62 free 56,79 GB GB.  How to release the rest of the disk on drive F?   There are a few things here, and reading of 'aid', it seems that they would be removed if I deleted a partition.   This computer is now my husband, who use it for e-mails, play Spider and a few Google searches.   I'm no computer expert, so I'm hoping for a simple solution.

    Marjorie

    Your report reveals a number of issues. Your C partition has only 4% of free disk space. You must have a minimum of 15% but preferably 25% of free disk space.

    Normally, the report will contain details of your MFT (Master File Table), but this information is not there. I have not encountered this situation before and at the present time, I do not know its importance. The MFT is a master index of all the files on your computer and their location, which allows the operating system to access all the files needed to perform a given task.

    The reference to the DC4.bak and similar files may be indicating a problem with your trash. This is where deleted files are stored temporarily until the user decides to permanently remove the files. The update of Windows XP SP3 is installed? Right click on your my computer icon and select properties to view details. There were three MS updates and you may not have the latest updates.

    Your version of AVG is obsolete. You have version 8 and the current version is 10.

    You use Outlook Express, and it takes a considerable disk space. You can move the folder to your partition F store. This link explains how:
    http://www.insideoe.com/files/store.htm#movestore

    You can increase the free space on the disk by deleting restore points, keeping the last restoration, using disk cleanup. Follow the instructions on how to do it.

    Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, cleaning disk to emptying your trash, delete temporary Internet files and other selected options. I recommend also you click Other Options, System Restore and delete all but the last system restore point.

    I recommend you download and install cCleaner, which is a best utility disk cleanup, but this would be better done later.

    You can create more free space in C by performing the steps suggested below.

    The default allocation for the restoration of the system is 12% on your C partition is more generous. I have them would be reduced by 700 MB. Make my computer right click on your icon, and select System Restore. Place the cursor on your C drive select settings but this time find the slider and drag it to the left until it shows 700 MB and output. When you get to the settings screen, click on apply and OK and leave.

    A flaw that might be useless which is for temporary internet files, especially if you keep no copies on the disk offline. Setting the default value is 3% of the walk. Depending on your attitude to copies offline, you could bring it to 1% or 2%. In Internet Explorer, select Tools, Internet Options, general, temporary Internet files, settings to make the change. At the same time, look at the number of days, the story stands.

    The default allocation for the basket is 10% of the disk. Change to 5%, which should be enough. In Windows Explorer hover over your Recycle Bin, right click and select Properties, Global and move the slider from 10% to 5%. However, try to let you become so complete that if it is complete and you delete a file by mistake it will bypass the Recycle Bin and have gone forever.

    When you have completed the above, restart your computer and display a new report Disk Defragmenter as well as answers to the different questions, I asked.

    Hello

    (1.) I think you could turn on and off the LED of Illumination in the BIOS.
    But maybe it s not supported under Win XP.

    (2) some features are not supported by XP. This unit is probably the module of Robson former Turbo Memory. This material will be supported only by Windows Vista so there is no driver Windows XP.

    (3) possibly you have ONLY installed the BT monitor. It is a diagnostic utility, and if you want to use BT you need a driver of BT.
    The BT driver can be downloaded from the page of the portal of BT or driver Toshiba
