Weird! U350 + Win7 - shows less (2.84 GB) of memory can be used with 4 GB with 3 GB?
Hello
I have an Ideapad U350, which came with Windows 7 32-bit and 3 GB of memory.
Just wanted to extend the RAM so I installed a new 2 GB instead of 1 GB of RAM. Previously, Windows 7 displays "3 installed and 2.87 GB usable" but now it shows "4 GB installed and 2.84 GB usable".
Now, I know that Windows 7 32 bit usually won't show anything under 4 GB if 4 GB is installed, but I was really surprised to see that when I got the 2x2gb memory installed, Windows 7 has shown 2.84 GB!
In other words, Windows 7 32-bit shows less memory can be used when the memory of 4 GB (2x2gb) is installed, only when the / 3GB (2 GB + 1 GB) memory is installed...
I'm a little puzzled about this. Just to be clear, as I said above, I * KNOW * that with Win7 32 bit, it does not show all of the 4 GB, but I expected something like 3 + can be used with the 4 GB GB, not<>
Can is anyone here explain why this is happening?
Thank you
Dragos

ESX 4.0 shows less available space on a RAID Volume as full size
Server configuration:
VMWare ESX 4.0.0 Update 1
Mother SATA superMicro SuperServer 6025 B
Intel E5405 2.0 GHz CPU quad-core 64-bit
8 GB OF DDR2 ECC RAM
GCCA 9690 3Ware storage controller - SA with the latest firmware (which
supports VMWare 4.0.0 Update 1) and installed the ESX drivers.
Disks 0 and 1 are 1 TB disks. 2-5 drives are 2 TB disks. 2 TB disks
have already been used with Windows and has the GUID partition table, but now
I want to use with VMWare. It causes me problems I think.
I created a volume of RAID1 1 TB of drives 0 and 1 and installed
VMWare on this, and my first data store is on the remaining space on this
volume. I then created a RAID10 volume out of the 4 drives for 4 TB
total space. It's initialization through initialization in the background is
immediately available via the controller.
I tried to create a store of data on this volume. I had various
complaints from the GUI, including "unable to get the partition information.
and "object is not set to an instance of an object" I tried to click
my way through.
I did a little research and saw an article on how to create partitions
manually. But fdisk was complaining about the GUID partition tables, and
even after I created the partition and restarted I wasn't able to find a
device in VMFS to create the file system on.
So I thought I would blow the entire partition table, so I used "dd".
to kill the copies of the partition GUID in beginning and end table
of the disc.
Now ESX not be complaint, but it is said that the capacity of the disk is
3.64 TB and TB 1.64 is space. However there is no
table partition at this point and "fdisk-u/dev/sdb" shows the full
capacity of the volume.
What I am doing wrong?
ESX (i) can't stand no bigger than "2 TB - 512 Bytes" lun.
What you need to do, is to divide your RAID and attend smaller LUNS ESX host.

Windows Update has nothing to do with the upgrade of Windows. Try posting in one of these specific forums Win7:

I use LRM6 with Win7. Cannot display all of the subfolders on external drive with photos. Can't see most recent used folders. How can I get all the records to display in the tree when the library module?
Syrup72 wrote:
Why I see pictures when I click on the tab all the photos above, which do not show in the tree on the G: drive?
DSC_2429 is in the shown locaton and present in all the Photos, but there is no folder "Tulsa"... "in the tree.
The left pane is a "choose one". "All photos" are just that. 'G' is a different option.
Lightroom is not a file Explorer. He knows only the drives and files that you have imported the photos of. If LR shows not all of the photos that are on your hard drive, it is because you did not import all photos.
If LR shows you a photo in "all photos" but do not show it in the folder you think he is in, go to "all photos", select the image, right click "view in the library folder. This will show you where LR think the picture is.

All of a sudden my pictures folders are now all show in Windows Media Player and I can't open each photo in full screen, but only in the video display mode. When I go to my pictures and choose view as thumbnails, that's fine, but when I click on the individual photo, it shows on the screen no video not in mode full screen and I can't move the photo to the photo without closing the video screen. How can I get my pictures on Windows Media Player?
This problem has now been resolved. I went in my computer > tools > Folder Options > file Type, select the type of file and clicked on advanced then > change and changed back to Windows Picture and Fax Viewer in Windows Media Player. I had the idea of a response posted on this forum about a different issue, but who pointed me in the right direction.

"I can't use winddow Defender, my pc show' If you use another application to find the unwanted malicious software, use action center to cheack app status."
Please help me solve. Thank youHello
If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.
There is nothing to worry.
Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.
If you are using one of the above AntiVirus programs, this Information from David O - Support Engineer shows you how to manually enable Windows Defender (disregard information from uninstalling; not possible in Vista):
"Go to start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services. Look for Windows Defender.
Right click and select Properties , ensure that Startup Type is automatic.
Once modified, click apply and OK.
Quit and restart your computer. Check the back take the same path to confirm that Windows Defender has started"
.
If you want to have additional protection against malware using the version FREE of Malwarebytes AntiMalware:
http://www.Malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
And for now, change startup Vista programs without using Defender, use one of these methods:
"How to use MSCONFIG in Windows Vista"
http://netsquirrel.com/Msconfig/msconfig_vista.html
Or the program Autoruns for FREE:
"V11.21 Autoruns for Windows"
