This memory has been properly installed.

I have a dell dimension desktop computer.  I recently added memory to the computer.  The user manual says that, if the memory is correctly installed, you should be able to see when you check the properties of the C drive.

However, when I check the properties of the C drive, it does not show the additional memory.  It seems that it is possible is included in the backup of drive (drive D).  When I open the control panel and view the details of the computer, it shows 5 gig memory.  I have to do something else to make sure that the memory is installed correctly?

Hello cliffymom,

Open the control panel (Start button > Control Panel) and click on the system icon. The first page you will see will be "display information on your computer." Look in the 'System' to 'installed memory' the value here must match your current memory. If the right amount of memory is displayed here it is installed properly.

    Hello

    You really need a little more information such as operating system, memory, etc.

    Usually a mistake like this happens because a background process is running and interfere with the available RAM, not enough virtual memory (Windows), drivers of HW obsolete or just an incomplete installation.

    Or, one of the biggest problems is add-ons in internet browsers.

    Alternatively, another problem of Lightroom, no sufficient permissions on the directory where you import image files.

    Please provide a little more information.

  • How to make sure that Adobe Reader has been properly patched?

    Before patching

    Adobe Reader version 9.3.0 installed via GPO worked without problem for months on Windows XP Pro SP3

    Connection method

    I copied the following files to the local C:\V932 folder:

    AdbeRdr930_en_US.msi (installation of MSI v9.3 original file)

    AdbeRdrUpd932_all_incr.msp (the downloaded file patch released in April 2010)

    Then I used the following command:

    msiexec /a AdbeRdr930_en_US.msi /p AdbeRdrUpd932_all_incr.msp

    The result

    -AdbeRdr930_en_US.msi file is updated to the date and time that the above command completed
    -4 new folders created (commune, CommonAppData, Program Files and Windows)

    Then, I created a new folder (\\servername\AdbeRdr932) on the server and copy all the contents of C:\V932 to this shared folder. After that, I created a new GPO package to upgrade the version 9.3.0

    Rebooted my Windows XP Pro machine and the upgrade went successfully. When I check help - about, it shows that I have 9.3.2

    Here's the problem:

    When I compare Adobe Connect files in the following folders, some files do not match:

    C:\Program 9.0\Reader of Adobe

    and

    \\servername\AdbeRdr932\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader

    For example:

    Properties of AcroRd32.exe in the C drive shows the version of the file 9.3. 0.148

    Properties of AcroRd32.exe in the shared folder shows the version of the file 9.3. 2.163

    There are other files (DLL, EXE) that do not match. The files in drive C: is earlier than those on the shared network folder. Now I don't know what to trust, the version information illustrated with Adobe Reader - About or file version information.

    For those who deploy Adobe Reader version 9.3.2 via GPO, you see the same problem?

    As you say-

    When I check help - about, it shows that I have 9.3.2

    and

    Properties of AcroRd32.exe in lecteurC poster file version 9.3. 0.148

    These two statements tell the whole story.

    Try one thing - Go to help--> on... I know that you have done this, and on this screen, it shows 9.3.2... thats fine

    Now take the mouse to the position on the start screen where 9.3.2 is written and click

    After clicking, you will see a different version string. I bet that now you will see 9.3.0.148.

    This is what is happening behind the scenes:

    First version 9.3.2 is levied on a registry entry

    But when you click on the start screen, that version is levied on the AcroRd32.dll

    Unfortunately there is no right way to distinguish if the drive has been properly patched or not because sometimes version to the splashscreen is supposed to change after click on (if changes will only in the files other than AcroRd32.dll)

    In your case, the installation of the Reader 9.3.2 is corrupt because the way in which you create an agreement in principle is wrong.

    Follow these steps to create an AIP and deploy via GPO:

    Perform an administrative installation

    1 copy the installer msi Reader 9.3 to your machine.

    2. create a distribution point (a folder where the installer can install the non compressed

    program files).

    3. Click Start, click Run, and then type the following command:

    msiexec /a

    4. When you receive a prompt asking you where to install the files, look for the distribution point

    you created in step 2.

    5. click on OK. When the installer has finished, all files will be on the distribution point.

    Also AdbeRdr930_en_US.msi is also present on the distribution point. (This msi is used in step 7 below)

    To add patches to the administrative installation:

    6 copy the fix msp Reader 9.3.2 on your machine.

    7. click on start, then click Run and type CMD.

    At the command prompt, type the following:

    msiexec /a /p

    Once the installation is successful, you can copy this folder (distribution point) to any server and create the package of GPO.

    It is a two-step process.

    You have tried to do in one step! and that's where you were going wrong.

  • Satellite L40 - 18Z: warnings of Tempo that 75% of the memory has been used

    My dad recently bought a satellite L40 - 18z.

    Tempo began to give warnings that 75% of the memory has been used.
    When I checked there a 74 GB HDD with 3 partitions top - 1.46 GB (which I assume is the recovery partition), GB 37.26 labeled 'Vista', containing the OS and all the rest, and finally Go 35.80 labeled 'Data' which is empty.

    The partition 'Data' is necessary?

    Or do I have to move all of the documents on this partition, and if so why not been put there by default?

    My father is not very computer and I find it strange that the hard drive is not that way. It could very easily write the Vista partition and thought it was! And ended up paying someone to put a bigger HDD in or sorting.

    It seems to be no mention of partition 'Data' in the documentation or advice on how to use it.

    > Is the partition 'Data' necessary?
    Well, you can use this partition for data storage.
    I mean you don t need to store files such as mp3, jpg, etc. on the system partition, but on this partition.
