Why, my flag uses all the available memory?
I have a Pavilion p6726f that came with 8 MB of RAM. I added an another 8MB and the computer SAYS I have 16MB installed, but said that only 7.24 MB is usable. How can I get the computer to allow me to use the new memory, that I added?
Hello
Here's something to check.
Hold down the Windows key and press R. In the run box, type msconfig and press ENTER. In Windows System Configuration, click on the Startup tab, and then click the Advanced Options button. If there is a check mark in the 'Maximum memory' box, check the box to delete, click OK, click on apply, then OK in the previous window, and then restart the PC so that the change is taken into account.
Kind regards

First of all, please note that the term 'memory' is used to designate the
place where the computer contains the program and data with which it is working
for the time being. It's normally a memory (RAM), but who can
be extended with the page or swap hard disk file. The word
'memory' is never used to refer to the space on a drive (be it
It's a hard drive, floppy disk, CD, DVD or thumb drive). Space on a
hard drive is normally called "storage" or simply "disk space".Call for 'memory' disk space is not so much wrong as we have just
unconventional. In a sense, the disk space is, of course, memory, but the
important thing to realize is that the word is never used in this way.

May not use all the available space in the data store
Hello
We have a HP DL580 G7 Server P410i raid controller with 8 x 1 TB HDD.
I create a raid 1 with 2 hard drives (1 TB) and raid 5 with 6 hard drives (5 TB) and install ESXi 5.1 in the first data store (1 to).
After installation when I tried to create the 5 TB data store, (ESXi detects and displays the space available 5 TB) it does use that almost 2.5 TB! and may not use all the space
I also installed the ESXi 5.5 but still no luck.

Exe Explorer file process uses all the computers memory RAM
I googled this question in many different ways and read the post until my eyes crossed. Tried several different
ideas, checks, analyses, etc.
This is on a Dell inspirion 3847 running Windows 7 Pro Service pack 1
a Intel pentium CPU [email protected] Ghz, 4 GB RAM, 1 TB HD (no graphics card or any other card in pci slot)
a brother MFC7360 n printer connected to the USB port.
and the HD: (drive C O/S: 855 GB free of GB 909), (recovery E Drive: 17.5 GB free of 47 gb)
The extent of the installed software is minimal, (only notable is Office 10, digital meal)
(Digital software dining room is for the POS system), this computer is not the main computer that is running the POS system
This computer is just linked to the actual POS in bar. (I stop this program and does not affect the)
problem or situation that we were conducting.)
(I can give list if necessary other software that is installed).
And the essentially the only files on the computer (in addition to operating systems, programs, etc.) are Office, "Word files,
Excel files.
And a few txt, rtf, pdf, files (very small amount).
first just noticed recently what happens, but I'm not the primary user on the computer. I checked
and it seems that no new software or program have been recently installed or changed. I have a little
understanding of what the process Explorer exe is and it functions. (NOT a PRO, not a total newbie,)
If all goes well enough to find help, and not enough to totally screw up.)
I'll be watching this thread several times per day until solved if need more information, I'll give you...
Here are the details of the problem:
random computer freezes, or runs very slowly or get "out of memory" message (during the attempt
to open any random program) and when...
I opened the the Task Manager and in "processes" tab, it shows that there is:
2 examples of "Explorer"exe "running... it uses a small amount of RAM (approx. 10-15 mb)(with nothing)
Open, other than the Task Manager). Another example of "Explorer"exe "uses (starts on the same amount of)
RAM use, without having to open anything else) it will start using more and more RAM up to uses almost all
the available 4 gigabytes of RAM. Also during this process it uses randomly between 0 and 99% of the CPU.
The CPU usage seems to vary (couldn't see any stable model). the amount of RAM used begins bass
then goes very high and the rest standing for this purpose during a random time. (then sometimes descends
on its own within 1-5 min.). (sometimes does not lower for awhile). More details needed let me
know, I'll check all speeds or time it takes for the situation to occur, (if necessary)
TASK MANAGER:
I opened the location of two Explorer exe files (both take me C/Windows"... ». (same for both
not a system 32 file, or any other subfolder, just to 'Windows '.
The two exe process explore "Descriptions" are listed as Windows Explorer.
I have "Complete the process" towards the 2nd exe explore (one with high memory usage), just that process and she stops to
a short period of time (and all works well for the time), but even once, it reappears (no exact time frame on how long until)
Returns), (can check again and again, if necessary), to see if time is right each time to restart the process.
If I "End process" to the 1st exe explorer (one with normal memory usage), I lose my office. (which from what
I understand what needs to happen).
Also get the same results if the process of "End process Tree" for the 1st and 2nd explore exe.
Checking "properties" of two everything seems the same info. On the 'details' tab shows all of Microsoft, not
of course, what happens if an info is important. (any info where necessary, I get and publish as needed).
I know more and different information is no "resource monitor". but was not sure what would happen if, any info of
It has been necessary. If necessary you will get what that is. (let me know this as necessary).
I've scanned any computer with 3 different anti virus (found nothing) programs
I ran spybot search & destroy found nothing that had to do with this issue and fix some other issues that we found.
A little info in 'Folder Options' (the 'windows folders in a separate process to launch' is NOT checked.
and all the options are defined for the default settings (I think) (not sure if this is important)
like I said read several messages in various forums (on similar sounding problem)... Some say spoke with
Microsoft technical support who say 'must be the virus', others say started after the recent "windows update" and others
say the problem of virtual memory and others say he's changed banks 'office' or the 'thumbnails previews.
These files, and the other says "shell extensions" are the problem. (many recommended (ShellEXView), to)
Disable all non-microsoft extensions). I was not looking for it. My problem does not appear to be any good
program, type file running that is causing this. It seems to happen when the computer is idle (I realize there are always some)
process background or system running) but it doesn't have to be all open programs.
At this point, I am open to almost any idea or suggestion. I will continue to monitor the post until resolved and will get a
In addition to the information required (less the credit card or account info bosses banking info HA!) (HA!)

Document windows does not use all the available on new monitor display area
Hello
I have a new monitor - a Benq BL2711.
I have set up as my secondary monitor on display in Windows 8.
I can put Photoshop (CS6) on this screen and maximize the it, but there is a vast space not used in the document window, which is not used. I want to show a lot more of my images that I can currently, but the document window will not only fill all that screen real estate. A large part of it is lost.
The panels occupy the right space to the bottom of the screen, but the window of the document (or the display area?) uses only 60% of the height of the screen.
What is a limitation or do I have to configure something? (I have reset the workspace of photography).
Thanks for any help
Nick
It is really a shot in the water, but it's the space used by the "timeline" Panel when it is open. Try to check in the menu window and close the bottle.
Other that that, there are always some good old Reset preferences. Make sure you save the custom actions/brushes/presets and so forth first!

Why my PC cannot use all of the available memory?
Hello
I have windows ultimate 64 bit and the 6 GB of ram (laptop)
http://img03.arabsh.com/uploads/image/2012/09/19/0d36454a60fa0d.PNG
As shown in the photo, there is a free memory and available memory
Total: 6058

free: 1Why windows cannot use the available memory, although there is no such thing as free storage space!
What you see is normal.
Windows 7 do not free memory. He's trying to preload it with applications that she believes, based on experience, that you may need.
If you have plenty of RAM, you can see more free memory if Windows doesn't find anything to him with preload.
Available memory is not actively used by all processes memory but it is preloaded with applications, is of the opinion, based on experience, that you might need as I said above. If it is required by another process, it is available to be used and the preloaded data are deleted.
I hope this helps you.

When I go into Control Panel and go to display basic aboutt your computer and information in the colum memory it says (sharp ram) 7.00 (3.24 GB usable) GB memory installed I use to have windows vista on here and it worked fine I installed windows 7 and this is what he says.

For me it is 8 GB in two 4 GB sticks. I am running Windows 7 32 bit in a Dell Optiplex 380. Of course, I would appreciate the opportunity to use all my memory.
Thank you
Birrell Walsh
It is a very old thread, but... in order to use all of your memory, you need to install a 64-bit version of Windows. About 3.25 GB is the maximum that can be used by a 32-bit system.

Pavilion 15-p101nm: using all the RAM
I have 4 GB of RAM, 3.44 alone can be used by OS and etc, another 500 MB are RESERVED by GPU and CANNOT be used for other programs. When I check the properties and see "RAM installed," he said "4 GB (3.44 GB usable). Also when I run the Task Manager and look for physical use of Mem I see clearly that all usable memory is exactly 3.44 GB. So I want to somehow disable GPU on board and make all the usable memory, but do not know how... Actually I disabled it, but everything is still the same...
You can't just. On AMD a series it's an APU... the video tracks integrated into the processor itself and the switchable dedicated card is based on the embedded video. So you can't just use 100% of the system memory for Windows tasks. Some will be used by the video system.

Windows XP can be updated to use all the RAM on a PC?
Hi all
I have a question that concerns me for centuries. Then Windows XP updated so that it can use all the RAM on a PC? The reason why I ask this is that I find a bit strange that my custom PC has a total of 8GBs of RAM but XP only can use a 2.96GBs total or 3GBs if I use one of my two video cards (currently using a GPU SLI configuration). So is one such update for XP or I'd be better off getting Win7 or Win8 when it comes out?
If I'm not mistaken, you need a 64-bit o/s (hardware Inc.) to address more than 4 GB.
I hope this helps.

I recently replaced my BB Tour Sprint with Sprint, and when you try to reinstall my apps world bought for BB looks like this: "you have used all your available device pin changes for your My World account.» I'm getting this error when I try to use my BB Tour with the NEW PIN {led by privacy}, the email account used is {under the direction of privacy} a way to solve this issue? I had a few exchanges with Sprint, because Tour trackball problems. I enjoy using App World, however I can't buy something again or recover my previous purchases with this error. My previous PIN is 30BE5BD9 (I got to the list because the BB tech support link listed my new PIN invalid - as well as my old pin code). Please notify.
PS: Crackberry App World made a PIN exchange a simple question - simply plug your new PIN and you can easily recover your purchased applications. RIM's App World support really dropped the ball on this one - there are a lot of tricks of BB exchanged and this App World problem really needs to be rectified. There were already several messages on this forum about it, and the owners are not able to submit their complaint to the BB technical support because the link would not accept their new PIN! Shame on you RIM.
Hello!
There is actually a fix for all your questions, but the first that needs to be fixed is the answer to bad PIN code on the RIM support site. However, this hotfix cannot be displayed publicly. Therefore, please check your private Messages on this site for a PM from me with these instructions.
BTW - if you think also that your message has been changed by the mods to delete any personal information (pines, e-mail addresses, etc.). .. as a public forum, it is generally not a good idea to post them here. In addition, these forums are a user to channel... support not a portal user-to-RIM...
See you soon!

How to make a panelTabbed to occupy all the available space?

I have this simple structure in my page, but I can't do the panelTabbed occupy all the available space in the page:

Now, the panelBox and and panelTabbed are at the same level. But I can't get the tabs expanded according to the space available under the panelBox max.panelStretchLayout Facet Center: PanelGroupLayout - Scroll PanelBox PanelTabbed ShowDetail1 (anything inside, tables, etc..)
You have an idea, the special properties to set are there?If you want the component panelTabbed to stretch all the senses, you must use a different panelStretchLayout like this:
Edit: no need "AFStretchWidth" style for panelTabbed component, in that provision.
