System Restore can use up to 15 percent of the space on each disk. You can change the amount of space allocated to system restore.

    When a photo for example has a bright sky next to the dark object, using lights and shadows to reduce high contrast can cause a 'halo' or double-edge to appear. How can I avoid this?

    From my experience, this isn't a problem that has a simple solution, such as moving a slider or a combination of the sliders in LR. It requires rather a major change in the technique, at the unit or in office. Some pros (I am not one) tire ALWAYS support HDR or this reason - better transition from highlights to shadows, then tweak the image with much less "heavy" necessary. Another popular technique is the luminosity masking and blending in PS. There is a ton of information on this topic (just do a search on Youtube), but it's not easy to learn or do, but it can eliminate this problem.

  • Suggestions on laptops that will be take place for example online games. World of Warcraft

    Hello
    I thought about buying a new laptop and I have absolutely no idea of which to buy. I am wanting to buy a laptop that can run games like World of Warcraft and Battlefield 2 online.
    Gladly, I would like to know if anyone has any suggestions as to a good laptop that I could buy for less than £1000.

    The P300 seems to be really a nice laptop
    But there is different material specifications; for example, different processors, graphics cards, etc.

    But portable P300 series isn't bad and I'm sure that your games runs correctly.

    Maybe the disconnection of electricity makes the battery or motherboard?

    > Shows 100% recharged, but the battery has no effect, if I unplug the cord cut.

    In my opinion, there are two reasons why the unit stops when you unplug the AC adapter.

    (1) battery failures and State of charge of the battery will not
    (2) electronic power supply motherboard is faulty. These electronic controls of the computer mobile power

    I think you should check if the new battery would help to solve your problem.
    But you said that the laptop is not very old, around the age of 2 months and so the warranty should still be valid.

    In this case, you should not attempt to resolve yourself but should contact the service in your country in order to verify the device. He should be permanently guaranteed covered

    U2415 - artifacts monitor after power off for a period of time

    I'm running Win 8 Pro 64 bit, Asus GTX 760. Connected to the U2415 using the miniDP to DP cable.

    It is: after turning off my monitor for a period of time (PC fixed IT), 2 hours or more, after turning it back on, I see lines on the screen.

    I will need to restart the PC for it to be back to normal.

    It will not happen if I turned OFF the monitor for a short period. Only when I turned OFF for a few hours.

    Any ideas? Thank you.

    I downloaded a video on Dropbox. I had it turned on after turning off for about 3 hours.

    [See:www.dropbox.com/.../U2415.mp4]

    Hi Chris, just an update.

    A local forumer had discovered how to solve.

    It was the scene of DP1.2. By default, it is set to "Disable". After that I put to 'Activate' and test it for 2 days, everything seems fine now.

    Hopefully someone will find this useful.

  • Several desktop icons when I Explore my computer. For example, C:/Users/Amy/Office/Office/Office/Desktop.

    I was delete photos and old docs in my office when I saw it saying: travel (instead of recycling), so I hit the Cancel button, but I think it was too late. Now, my computer has several icons on the desktop when I Explore my computer. For example, C:/Users/Amy/Office/Office/Office/Desktop. I can't use my restore feature. (And then I turned it off to use Spybot Search and Destroy). So now I don't know what to do.  Help :(

    What a pity that you cannot use the system restore - which would be the fastest and easier to solve this problem.  I recommend that you turn on the system restore and immediately make a restore point.

    In which office files are your desktop items (or they are in each file)?  I find a folder with all the icons of your desktop in it and copy it into a new folder named "(Old Desktop) and put it in your Documents folder, just to be on the safe side - if you have a copy of going bacck to if something goes wrong while you are trying to solve the problem."  You can then try to remove the three options (or ones without entries starting with down one in the path of the file) one at a time (by checking the others every time to ensure that they still contain your desktop icons).  Once you get to the last one check again to make sure that it contains all of your items of office and then restart.  If all goes well, which fix the multiple instances of the desktop icons.  If not, read on.

    If this does not work, or if you prefer, you can treat the situation as a corrupt user profile.  To fix this use http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile.  If that is the only available Administrator Profile (you need to be an administrator to fix this), enable the Hidden Administrator Account (HAA) using http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?&lang=en&cr=US&guid=&sloc=en-us&dg=microsoft.public.windows.vista.administration_accounts_passwords&p=1&tid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055&mid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055.  If you don't remember the password, try nothing because that's probably what you (or seller) did during the installation.  Make sure you have at least two profiles administrator with strong passwords (to remember) as well as your standard profile for daily use.  Once that is done, don't forget to disable the HAA to save it in case it is necessary once again and for safety reasons (since people often try to hack into systems using this account).  Do NOT use the HAA as your administrator account because if you lose the only administrator on the system account or it is damaged again, then you're watered.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • How can I delete the themes that comes with the Win7? They are ugly and I do not take my place. The theme of characters for example.

    It's pretty simple, at least for me; I want to delete the themes that came with my new computer. The theme of character for example, I'll never use it, I think it's ugly and I'd like to remove it from my system. I downloaded other packs of themes of Microsoft, I removed the themes saved myself without problem. Help?

    These themes take up a space infintesimal amount.  When new computers are shipped with 500 GB to 2 TB hard drives today, it's a waste of time and a risk of causing problems to fuss with these things.  20 years ago, we had to worry about these things, but that time is long gone.  Do you realize that 1 TB is 1,000,000,000,000 bytes?  If you had 1 billion dolloars and divided into piles of dollar, pious million how do you you?  You would have 1 million piles each with 1 million dollars in it.  So why worry a few megabytes?
