  • 5 Lightroom takes half of my boot disk space.  What can I do to reduce the which?

    5 Lightroom takes half of my boot disk space.  What can I do?

    The files include catalog.ircat, ircat-journal, log.ircat.lock, backups, preview.irdata...

    The presence of the journal and the locking file indicates that you are trying to pass the folder with Lightroom running.

    This is not going to work. Close to Lightroom, and then copy the folder on the external drive.

    Once you have all this work, you can delete the original folder.

  • What can I do to reduce the lag?

    I love playing mmorpg games and I have the annoying lag experience and would like to know what I can do to reduce it to a minimal state...

    the offset type I'm talking about is the gap that affects my fps and graphics etc... because I know my connection is fast...
    Please keep in mind, I'm a laptop user, so buying something like a new graphics card is out of the question.
    Thank you!

    Well, the main thing that will slow down your game is going to be your graphics card.  And the best way to reduce the amount of lag your graphics are originally is to decrease your screen resolution.  Whenever your screen resolution is increased, you increase the resources they use and ALL other effects.  So that the lower your resolution, plus your interpretation will become.

    In addition, that the way that you are on a laptop, is not that you can do.  Having enough RAM is important but will not give you huge boost in performance.  Laptops are just very motor to play the game because they are designed to run on a battery.  And things like desktop graphics can take a LOT of electric power which cannot deliver a laptop.  So that very often, high-end gaming just won't work or JUST play on a laptop unless it is brand new, and even in this case, it will be powered by compared to a desktop machine.

    It s not my main but game machine I m aware if he's struggling now, it won t well before he won t be able to run at all.

    What can be done to increase the capabilities of the laptop - like tweaks, tools and upgrades?

    Thank you
    Max

    Hello

    You could improve memory to 4 GB of RAM.
    The laptop can be upgraded to 4 GB, but note that the Windows 32 bit OS (Vista & XP) will see only 3.2 GB due to the limitation of the 32 bit OS.
    In this case, you must use the 64 bit OS to get full access to 4 GB.

    Second, you can configure laptops OS. I mean you could start the msconfig and might turn off some background process is not necessary including the performance of laptops of waste.

    Unfortunately, other upgrades are not possible (apart from HARD drive, but will not increase performance)

    My email account has been hacked. What can I do to stop the unathorized email going to my contact list?

    original title: hacked e-mail account

    If the hacker has your address list now I'm afraid there is absolutely nothing you can do.

    If it is using your real address list (as opposed to having downloaded/imported) then change your password should do, but unless this intruder is a fool, he or she has already copied your list of contacts.

    Please mark this as useful or response if applicable.
