Hello

you don't say what version of bits you use; 32-bit or 64-bit

read these articles on the occultation of the memory

http://www.velocityreviews.com/forums/t185253-how-do-i-turn-off-shadowing-in-BIOS.html

in a 32-bit vista of the most RAM system, you can install is 4GBs of RAM and it can only use 3.15GBs of that anyway

get rid of the Readyboost which is designed to be used in the machines to improve performance which have only about 1 GB of RAM

  • My computer takes 20 minutes to start and also has a black screen

    Hello world

    I have a Dell Dimension 9200 and recently every time I start my computer or it reboot, it takes 20 minutes to get to the desktop and also has a black screen. This issue has occurred only recently and I don't know what is the cause and so advice would be welcome.

    Other strange things include all my system restore points are missing and so I can't return the operating system to a previous date when it was working properly.

    And when I did a test on the hard disk, one of the internal drives have had a "Fail" result - Code 7 back. I don't know if this was caused by a virus or is the result of a mechanical failure in the hard drive itself.

    Thank you very much.

  • I just downloaded a new theme for xp on windows site and I changed the resolution and has become a black screen on my pc.

    I'm down and back up to close it, but can not see the screen to do anything it is like a curtain that I see a bit of color behind the layer

    If the screen resolution is set to a setting that your monitor is not supported, the screen can be empty.

    Try to boot mode safe (repeatedly press the F8 key as your computer starts up).  Safe mode will come with a screen resolution standard (but large) that support all monitors.  If you can then see your screen, change your resolution to something that is supported by your monitor.  If you make the wrong choice and your screen turns black, don't panic, just do not touch anything and wait about 30 seconds and will return to the screen.  Once you properly set your resolution, then reboot in normal mode.

  • After you turn off the root of the directory utility user, I went back to the main screen and all other user accounts showed is no longer at the start, as they were before you enable the root user.  Help.  Please, I beg you.

    I have activated the user 'root '.  It was an attempt (for the sake of granddaughter age) to check its history since I am the administrator.  Realizing that this method was much more complicated than what I am capable of managing, I returned the utility program directory and disabled the user 'root '.  I thought that everything was ok, as I did not made anything while connected as user 'root '.  Instead, restart the computer, all users, including myself were no longer at the start.  The only point was a blank user name and password.  No picture.  No guest.  No user.  How to return those and I did something to cause this?

    Else you being logged in as root?

    Activation and deactivation, then root should not have caused that.

    Also, having allowed root is one of the ways you get a login screen showing only the name and the password.

    You should be able to type in your user name and password to connect.

    One time connected, check users & groups system prefs, Connection Options and make sure he's on the list of users. You will have to click on the padlock at the bottom to make changes.

    original title: Netbook Windows 7 problem

    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

    Borrow a 32 bit Genuine Windows 7 friends DVD disc if you know someone who has one.

    Make an image of the DVD, you can use a program like ISO Recorder to do.

  • Photoshop CC 2015 is a line connecting the start and end of the brush strokes

    Hi guys,.

    I had a strange problem with a certain brush (size 5px, difficult tour, no shape dynamics, no transfer) in Photoshop CC 2015.1.2.

    It only happens when the drawing very fast on my Cintiq 22HD.

    The problem is PS is a line connecting the start and end of the brush strokes. I don't hold in shift or whatever it is.

    PScc_problem.jpg

    Here's my brush settings:
    Capture.JPG

    I use a PC with these specs:

    Intel Core i7 - 4790 K 4.00 GHz

    ASUS motherboard

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 (10.18.13.5354 driver version)

    16 GB OF RAM

    Cintiq 22HD

    Win 10

    Is it a question of PS or Cintiq?

    Thanks for help.

    OK, here is therefore an update.

    The problem is not at all with Photoshop or Cintiq, with Windows 10 parameters of the stylus.

    Fortunately, there is a small piece of free software that you can download called "Fix my pen" (by Smith Reddy) which defines the features of Windows Tablet PC in the registry for you (essentially by disabling everything related to it):

    viziblr - News - difficulty my pen makes your Wacom tablet JUST WORK on Windows 7

    It works fine on Win10 too.

    Now, as my original problem with Photoshop to do a line connecting the start and end of the brush strokes left, however I have another question more small that came after running difficulty my pen. The lines that I draw now are not smoothed by a software more. You can see the difference below.

    Fix My Pen sets a lot of things in the registry, but you cannot individually control which setting is disabled. So I guess that one of them is the cause.

    I expect response from Smith about it, cause I have no idea who he is.

  • Windows xp Pro chkdsk keeps running over and over again at the start and...

    Running the scan and says no errors found and windows has finished checking the disk and then rest on this screen. I'm unable to boot in a mode, including 3 Safe Mode options. Please help me to help my friend with this problem on his Dell PC.

    Before this error occurring, we run a defragmentation and planned Windows to check the drive for errors.

    Cannot start in safe mode as lists of lines of code system32, then freezes.

    Many Retarts have not helped.

    We have not cahnged anything using F2 or F12 to change Boot & startup menus.

    When XP restarts, it checks the "dirty bit" on each volume (hard disk) to see if a chkdsk needs to be run on the volumes.

    The dirty bit can be defined on a volume if you had a power failure or may have used the power button, had an aborted restart or an abnormal termination.    The only way to clear the bit of impurity on a volume is successfully running chkdsk with error correction (chkdsk/r).

    If you have a regular chkdsk in the meantime, he'll also want to run when you restart the system.

    When you start in Safe Mode, if one of these conditions are met, XP run the chkdsk command, and during this time, your system will be appear to be stuck, frozen or appear to hang with the last thing on your screen being loading mup.sys - shortly after charges mup.sys is when the chkdsk will start running and the system seems to be stuck.

    This suggests that their system is hung on mup.sys when he's really hung at all - chkdsk runs is because it takes or they old to many people is by planning the chkdsk at the next reboot.

    I don't know what AVG load and will not install AVG to know.

    If your system seems to stop mode without failure and the last thing you see on the screen is mup.sys (or in your case of the stuff AVG), look at the HARD drive access light.

    If the HARD drive is flashing, chances are good that the chkdsk command runs either because it takes or it, you have planned.  In this case, you will need to wait outside and if you use the power button, you could make things worse.

    You will need to wait outside and this could take some time depending on the size of the volume, the amount of data on the volume and what chkdsk finds to do.

    I think that I start your system in the XP Recovery Console and run chkdsk /r from there, so that you can actually see race and what he has to say.  If that chkdsk /r works own (it might take more than one pass), which erases the volume dirty bit.  It will not relieve your a regular chkdsk system, but I would start there.

    If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.
