• Satellite L350: What is the best choice: disk to reinstall or repair of F8?

  Hello
  I have a fairly new Satellite L350 (5 months). I recently discovered a Trojan horse attached to program files for the AVG software. I got rid of the Trojan horse, done a restore to date before loading AVG in the hope that my system would return to normal. He still continues to be slow, Explorer keeps locking up and all kinds of weird things continue to happen! Ouch.
  I have the recovery and the Application CD that came with my laptop. Do I use the recovery CD or should I try to fix everything using the F8 option? And if I use the recovery CD which files will I lose, normally? I tried to get a list of the applications that are on this drive, but couldn't find any info?

  I spent most of the day save all my files on disk. I'm going to lose some paid downloaded programs I am willing to sacrifice, if I can get my computer love me once again!

  Any advice would be helpful.
  Thank you

  > Do I have to use the recovery CD or should I try to fix everything using the F8 option? And if I use the recovery CD which files will I lose, normally?

  I advise to use the recovery disk because the recovery disk would be to format the whole HARD drive and will set the laptop to the factory setting.
  If you have some viruses on HARD drive then the format of HARD drive can be the best option in order to eliminate all viruses and Trojans.

  Hello

  If you can not remove the malware then follow the good advice of André for resettlement.

  If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
  scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
  resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
  cause.

  No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
  to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
  its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
  extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

  It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run

• What is the best way to install XP on Vista Equium A100-338

  I want to install XP on my Equium A100-338, who has already installed Vista. What is the best way to do it, I heard a lot of bad luck stories trying to do!
  I do it only as a new software, with that I need to work only works on XP.

  Any help appreciated

  Thank you

  Hello

  In my opinion, you must install the XP operating system on the second partition.
  In this case, you can use the two BONES; Vista and XP.

  Using these two s OS has many advantages. For example, you can always test the Vista and the new Microsoft features that are available in Vista and, in addition, you can use the XP if you need to run some programs and applications that are not fully compatible with Vista.

  Then first ask how o create a second partition in Vista.
  Well, this can be done in disk management. Right-click on the my computer drive management made right click on the disk to manage and modify the size of the partition.
  Then the free space on the HARD drive can be activated, and you can create the new partition.

  Then simply boot from Win XP and install it on the second free partition.
  The Toshiba drivers needed should be downloaded from the Toshiba page.

• What is the best way to use files recovery

  I work in FM 11 and broke FM a few times. What is the best way to use the recovery files and save them as normal files? So should I filter a window of the Explorer to "recovery" so FM don't ask me if I want to use the older recovery files? Thanks for your help.

  > What is a wash of the MIF?

  1. Save all the files of FM component .mif as MIF format.
     Save the .book as. book.MIF in the MIF format.
  2. Output FM.
     Restart FM.
  3. Open .mifs. Save as FM, replacing the old (FM probably saved files).
  4. Open the. book.MIF, re - register under .book.
     Note: do not open the. first book.MIF and then try to open the component files, or open the files binary pre - MIF.

  FM11 and 12 can have a free add-on as much as the fact in a single operation.

  Washing MIF creates new .book files and FM have syntactically correct data structures (and that may have lack of bad content). They are less likely to crash, but can still have problems.

• HP Z400s under spec for HD in CS4 edition. What is the best way to go?

  Hi all

  I recently bought the three HP Z400 workstations for editing XDCAM EX 1080i (HQ) a timeline in Premiere CS4. It's a very hasty and ill-informed purchase. Unfortunately I only came across the Adobe forum after that I ran into trouble with 1 and 2 workstations. After reading a lot of useful messages, it is quite obvious that new two of my machines have the ability to edit full HD 1080i chronologies stably.

  Before I describe my problems, I'll describe my system specs:

  Z400 1 workstation

  Windows XP 32-bit
  Xeon W3505
  3 GB RAM
  GPU: Quadro FX 1800
  C: 500 GB OS/programs
  D: 2 x 500 GB Raid 0 zero

  Z400 Workstation 2

  Windows XP 32-bit
  Xeon W3520
  3 GB RAM
  GPU: Quadro FX 3800
  C: 500 GB OS/programs
  D: 2 x 500 GB Raid 0 zero

  Z400 Workstation 3 (this machine works well and has not had stability problems)

  Windows Vista 64-bit
  Xeon W3540
  8 GB RAM
  GPU: Quadro FX 3800
  C: 500 GB OS/programs
  D: 2 x 500 GB Raid 0 zero

  While I was able to edit clips XDCAM EX 1080i HQ on all these systems, work stations 1 and 2 are very unstable, crashing regularly, especially when rendered.

  I'm a bit of a luddite when it comes to technology, so after reading through the many excellent posts here, I'm still not entirely sure which is the best way forward for me to put jobs 1 and 2 to the height. It is clear on reading these posts that I more capitalized on GPU cards, underestimated the importance of the RAM and committed a fundamental error of my choice of operating system:

  • In the spirit of the community - are the specs for Workstation 3 enough for stable HD editing?
  • What is the best solution with 1 and 2 workstations? Reader threads I guess I upgraded Vista 64 bit OS and spend at least 6 GB of RAM - it would be enough? If this is not the case, what do you suggest? In addition, the existing processors (w3505 and w3520) are quite fleshy for work?
  • And this could take liberties... all topics widely discussed on this forum; I'm having trouble getting my head around storage. What is the best configuration that I do with my current gear (z400 motherboard) for HD editing (including adding additional disks)?

  Thanks in advance... I'm not much of a techie, so all the words of wisdom are like gold dust.

  See you soon,.

  James

  Your CPU 3505 is only a dual core chip.  Certainly working on upgrading the CPU on a quad core.  I don't know if HP offers capabilities overclocking on this motherboard single processor.  If so, you could try prejudice overclocking guide lines since it is structurally almost identical to the i7-920.

  To the power of the processor which is the most important point for the creation, you can use one of these processors W3520 / W3540 / W3570 (2.66 to 3.20 GHz, 8 MB L2 cache) If you prefer do not overclock or if HP didn't you provided the functionality in the BIOS.

  Certainly wait (I think that it is the date) October 22 to Win 7 64 bit OS it is certainly faster than Vista 64.

  Incidentally, I don't know if you have ordered these units, but it may be useful to call HP and see if you are eligible for a free upgrade to Win 7.

  Maybe this blog Capterra article can help you with choices for an alternative to MS Project for Macs.

  However, what I would recommend is to run Windows under BootCamp or a virtual machine, such as Parallels or VMware and then, install a version of Windows from MS Project to be entirely compatible with what your company uses.

• What is the best audio format to import a CD?

  Dear people of the communities,

  What is the best format in terms of better sound quality for an import CD, regardless of the size of the file, just a pure sound quality?

  The goal is to save my music library CD and vinyl in a computer/drive and listening using a computer connected to a sound system 'Stereo' (not ' Surround', regular stereo) with speakers high quality stereo (L + R).

  So far, I've downloaded using a 320 kbps MP3 format. Listening to a CD quality is very poor.

  I use iTunes 10.7.x (as well as iTunes 12.x on a newer platform, but imports of CD I use version 10.7)

  All parameters are the following:

  Import using MP3 encoder =

  Parameters = custom

  Use the Error Correction = No.

  ---------------------------------------------

  Stereo BitRate = 320 Kbps

  VBR = No

  = 44,100 kHz sampling rate

  Channels = stereo

  Stereo mode = Normal

  Smart encoding = No

  Filter Freq below 10 Hz = No

  I think he wouldn't be WAV course, AIFF and Apple Lossless I know are both better quality, but using an Apple encoder can restrict what will be the player who is also important.

  Thank you

  Alon

  .

  Any lossless format will offer the best audio quality.  The available choices:

  • WAV is probably the most widely supported but it lacks the ability to incorporate metadata or illustrations, so while you can move the audio between different systems files as soon as you go outside iTunes you will lose all the artist / album / song information.
  • Apple Lossless (ALAC) is definitely the best choice in iTunes - he has the same metadata / support work such as MP3 or AAC and supports full 16/44.1 audio with file sizes about 65% of the equivalent WAV file
  • AIFF is very similar to the ALAC, except that (in the Variant used by iTunes), there is no lossless compression, so the file size will be larger

  The determining factor here will be where you intend to use the files - many other readers take in charge of the three options mentioned above, either natively or (for the ALAC and AIFF) using the appropriate plugins.  Unfortunately the lossless codec which has the broad support of all (FLAC) is not supported by iTunes.  There are, however, many utilities out there that can convert between ALAC and FLAC (and vice versa) if that proves necessary.
