• ReadyBoost Windows 7 Pro 64 bit works only not with the reader flash 32 GB USB high speed...

  Hello

  I did what I could find in support.microsoft.com search/read them all using ReadyBoost on my Windows 7 Professional 64 - bit, because he seemed much more cost-effective to install a properly sized USB key from the bombings of hundreds of dollars to replace and modernize the planks of installed RAM, I, 4x2Gb @ 1066

  My basic material is:

  Intel i7 920 CPU using Gigabyte EX58 - UD3R-MOBO with 8 GB of RAM installed 1066.

  According to the info I've read ReadyBoost, the ratio is 4:1 for the size of the Flash drive compared to installed RAM or, in my case, a 32 GB USB device.

  I had the OCZ Rally2 32 GB because it tested faster about 30 GB Read and 5 to 10 MB write.

  When I go to activate the USB 32 GB for ReadyBoost flash drive, I get the "impossible... to use this device to ReadyBoost...". "error message.

  TWO QUESTIONS:

  1 knowing that my USB 32 GB current is at a speed of 31 GB read/6-10 MB write and can be replaced if necessary:

  a. y at - it a necessary range of recommended read/write speed?

  2. further, saying: the range of tested USB disk read/write speed are correct or I will get a correct drive 32 GB and with 8 GB of RAM currently installed.

  b is it? or what is the advantage in any computer processing speed using a 32 Gb USB flash drive when it is 8 GB of RAM installed (knowing that a replacement/upgrade RAM is off-budget for the foreseeable future)?

  Finally, I pass first OCZ support but received no conclusive answers.

  1st answer to yesterday 20:11

  Win7 is limited to 32 GB size by device for ReadyBoost. I've seen this problem before when the USB key is at the maximum limit. Never seen a work around so.

  AND, more interesting for me, 2nd answer:
  Today 02:37

  Few people I know with this problem that I've never heard of a solution. I don't know anyone who devoted a lot of effort as with 8 GB of memory system is not a necessity for ReadyBoost so they just moved.

  NOTE: The support guess I are underutilizing the 8 GB of RAM installed. In fact, due to the needs work I will typically have anywhere for applications and utilities operating at 20-35 someone time, using 4-6 GB of RAM at peak use.
  Ideas?  Suggestions?
  Thank you.

  Hi John,.

  A flash drive may appear to meet the requirements, but Windows may detects it not as compatible ReadyBoost if its rated speed measures sequential and random performance and performance is not always quick on the set of the flash player.

  Look for a note from the manufacturer that the flash player is Compatible Windows ReadyBoost. Not all manufacturers of this list on their packaging.

  You can check with another flash drive

  Answering your questions

  a. speed for Windows ReadyBoost requirements are at least 2.5 MB per second throughput for random readings of 4 kilobytes (KB) and 1.75 MB per second throughput for 512 k random entries.

  Using memory in your storage device to speed up your computer

  (Article is for Windows 7)

  b. ReadyBoost acts as a cache of HARD disc (hard drive) and is not a replacement for direct system memory. It will not improve processing speed, but will help the launch of faster applications and push background applications that serve much in memory reserved ReadyBoost.

• Can't download Windows 7 Pro 64 bit Disc Images (ISO files) with the license product key

  A few months ago, I bought a laptop with Windows 7 Pro 64 bit pre-installed, used with supplied installation disc. There is a hologram sticker COA affixed to the laptop with a product key. I used this key to activate the phone without problem. I was then able to install SP1 and various other updates over time.

  Recently, I decided that I should have a Windows installation disc (Windows Update has slowed to a crawl and doesn't, and I maybe to repair or reinstall it with the disk).

  I have entered my product key on Microsoft Web page to 'Download the Windows 7 disc Images (ISO files)'. But I got an error message:

  "The product key you have entered seems to be for software pre-installed by the manufacturer of the device. Contact the manufacturer of the software device for recovery options. »

  Running 'Winver' shows that my product is authorized.

  Running "slmgr.vbs - dli" shows the partial product key and license status "allowed."

  If I contact the seller, what what can they give me other than the product key valid I already activated?

  How can I download an installation image for the s/w Windows 7 that I activated?

  Thanks for your help.

  For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

  It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

  Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

  How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

  Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

  What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

• Fusion 6.0.6 Windows 7 Pro 64 bit is installed in 32-bit

  Hello

  When I install (using either method 'easy' fusion or not) Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, I find myself with a Windows 7 Pro 32 bit virtual machine.

  I was looking for, but I don't see, not to specify the bits 32 vs 64-bit while doing the installation.

  I use Mac OS 10.10.4, with 8 GB of RAM (4 GB virtual machine allocation, but reading on this subject...).

  Just to make it a little more weird, I have already built a machine virtual win 7 Pro 64-bit (OEM) and which works perfectly.

  I enclose the screenshots of the computer / properties for comparison. I think it is noted that the installation of Win 7 Pro 32 bit shows the "scoring system" as "unavailable".

  In addition, the allocation of RAM for Windows 7 Pro 32 bit vm is NOT conducted through properly. I took care to change that to 4 GB, when I made this facility again, thinking that I had missed the first time. No, the change I made using the Fusion VM settings panel is certainly NOT current to the resulting virtual machine. It is always set correctly in that Fusion VM Control Panel settings.

  Anyone can shed some light on this?

  Thank you in advance,

  Jack

  Hi Jack and welcome on VMware communities!

  The flavors of 32-bit and 64-bit Windows are separate installation media.  If you end up with a 32-bit operating system in the virtual machine, this is because the disk or image that you are installing to contains a 32-bit version of Windows.  Make sure you use the correct installation disc or image.

  On the issue of memory size, was completely closed virtual machine when you have increased the RAM to 4 GB?  Try to restart the operating system, and then check if it shows the correct amount.

  See you soon,.

• Aurora running, but can not be played on Desktop Windows 7 pro 64-bit

  I've been using Aurora for several years with Windows 7 pro 64-bit with the two latest major 28/29 Auroa just missing from my desk after clicking on the icon on the desktop, I tried to uninstall, but the system told me I had still Aroura running uninstall so I had to reboot my PC, I could uninstall I then reinstalled Aurora and a pinned icon appeared in the taskbar, but when I clicked on the icon on the desktop the hourglass turned but no Aroura started on the desktop, so I went through the whole thing again and uninstalled Aurora and installed Firefox V26 and now it has progressed to the last version that has disappeared as exactly the same way.

  What can I do if I use Aroura again because it is very good and safe to use?

  I can't use the troubleshooting info as I can't see Aurora/Firefox to view or copy/paste the info shown.

  Thank you solved the problem, I restarted the PC and now Aurora works again thanks.

• Maximum memory for Pavilion DV7t special edition running Windows 7 pro 64-bit with Intel i7 Q720

  I have an entertainment 2009 Dv7t Special Edition running on Windows 7 64 bit with intention processor i7 Q720 @1 .60GZ. I have 8 G of ram now but need to go to the top. Can I put two 8 G in the slots. Read some reviews say the software works and Windows 7 pro 64-bit can take up to 132 G RAM, if that was even possible. I run two internal drives. But with the addition of the cloud and running photoshop on cloud too much memory is used, slow down the computer. You want to go to 16. Everybody does and no problem?

  Thank you

  Hello

  As mentioned previously, there are SEVERAL dv7t editions and special editions. We have dv7t-3000, 4000-dv7t... and it is very difficult to find the right plug. Please use the following link to find the product/model number:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00033108

  Your machine could be the following:

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/manualCategory?cc=us & dlc = in & lc = in & product = 5292645 &

  If so, the #4 on the following manual page it support 16 GB max:

• HP Pavilion Slimline s3760in D: need help in Clean install Windows 10 pro 64-bit?

  Hello

  For the past few months I am running windows 10 pro where I had to upgrade windows 8.1 pro 32 - bit windows 10 pro 32-bit. If my system is activated in windows 10 pro and it is authentic.

  

  When I checked in the type of system, it says operating system 32-bit, x 64 processor.  4 GB RAM only 3.12 GB of RAM is usable.

  This means that my processor supports 64-bit operating system. That's why I intend to clean windows install 10 pro and install the 64-bit version so that I can use all 4 GB of RAM.

  That's why went into a tool for creating media and downloaded Mediacreation Toolx64 but when I try to launch the app it shows error "this app cant run on your pc. But Mediacreation tool for 32 bit gently. According to me, given that my current OS is 32-bit so mediacreation toolx64 is not running.

  So I was wondering if I run 32-bit tool mediacreation and choose 'create multimedia installation for another pc' and chosen architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) times, then the clean installation of windows pro 10 OS will I have the option to choose between the version 64-bit and 32-bit version?

  [2] already my windows 10 pro is active in 32-bit version, I get a product key error when I clean install 10 pro for the 64 bit version of windows?

  [3] will be my windows 10 64-bit pro is activated? Since my windows 10 pro turned in a 32-bit version.

  Microsoft memo said "Your PC will activate online automatically as long as the same edition of Windows 10 has been activated successfully on this PC using the free Windows 10 upgrade offer."

  HI Varadar,

  You're right, you choose the installation program of the media creation tool that corresponds to your current system, but create a support for another PC and select 64-bit or both.  I would choose 64-bit.

  Yes, what you plan should work.  Once you have upgraded to Windows 10 32 - bit and Windows checked 10 32 - bit is set, you can use Media Setup to switch to Windows 10 64 - bit.  But... I could ask you to wait a month.  It was reported on the sites a Updatefor Windows 10 is expected in November.  This update will include some changes and corrections that we have already published to our group of insiders test.  The recent blog post is hereand scroll to the bottom of reading on the Activation stuff.  We also wrote about the changes, including the news of your task in our own forum.

  What do you think should work now today, if there is no problem or bug there is no backup.  But if you wait a bit, then the backup as explained will use your Windows 8.1 Pro key into your HP motherboard.

  I hope this helps,

  Charles

• Maximum supported size of HARD drive for HP Elitebook 8440p Windows 7 Pro 64 bit runing

  Hello, I just bought a HP Elitebook 8440p "off lease" of Tigerdirect and seeks to upgrade the two memory (from 4 GB to 8 GB) and put in the eligible of the biggest HARD drive I can. Either a 512 GB SSD or a 1 TB WD hybrid WD BLACK2 (1 TB HDD / 120 GB SSD Combo drive in a single package!). I would like to see more large disk addressable by using Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit OS since I don't seem able to find this info on the web. HP offers only only a 256 GB SSD in its specifications. but I didn't know if it was do limitations of BIOS or availability at the time of production, even for the HARD drive to 512 GB.

  Also, I would like to know if 9.5 mm compliant Bay that it needs to be for the WD drive. Can't find that either, and while the new laptop has not yet happen, all measure exactly the same way regarding what works and what simply cannot be "cheated".

  Thank you for taking the time to read this and NO information to that effect would be Greatl appreciated!

  Essentially the reason why you do not have a maximum size of hard drive is because there is not everything. Between SATA and 64-bit OS', worrying about maximum size of hard drive is a thing of the past. Are the biggest readers found in the manual, as you suspected him, just a function of the market at the time of manufacture. It was a few years ago now, it is so understandable that the offerings were "at the time" more thin than now.

  Here is the Service Manual:

  Manual

  Page 4-9 shows the procedure of the Bay and the replacement of the hard disk. The Bay is made for a 9.5 mm thickness 2.5-inch wide SATA hard but the new 7 mm readers also works. The black hybrid drive requires some software (included in the package) to treat the two drives in Windows and I read a modest amount of disappointment in the documentation about them. If you can afford the 512 GB SSD go in this direction and you will not be sorry. I use a Samsung 840 Evo and it has worked perfectly for me for almost 2 years and the most recent 850 I hear is even better.

I know that you can download the vanilla windows versions 7 of m6mobile.fr and others and then install but I wanted to know if there was a formal process for HP machines. It would be also good to know that the process of extraction of the COA, so I can activate Windows 7 installation completed.

  I am based in the United Kingdom (and an employee of HP)

  (it seems I'm not the only one having this problem - I guess this method works http://www.pcworld.com/article/2015107/downgrading-from-windows-8-to-7-what-you-need-to-know.html?pa... )

  but before could someone confirm that part "call microsoft" will be ok for me if I have no physical cost... also what can I do if I have not a pro windows 7 product key to enter during the installation of windows 7 - because obviously I intend to use the rights to downgrade to windows 8 pro key!).

  advice appreciated.

  Ad.

  Ok...

  so having figured out that I can downgrade sounding MS I took the lead and mounted my new SSD drive and installed Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. Everything is good. What I need now is some of the correct drivers to get me going.

  If someone could point me to the right for the following, I'd be grateful so I don't waste time to download everything. My version is HP Probook 4540 s C4Y79EA (i5-3210/4 GB RAM/15.6 inches) model British.

  Some of the choices pilot have several versions of pointers to good enjoyed.

  It is mainly in the field of the network drivers for the Wifi and fixed ports.

  Thank you.

  I determined what hardware is in this model.

  WIFI/Bluetooth - download drivers Ralink

  Ethernet card integrated - download the Realtek drivers.

  The rest should be pretty straigtforward...

  Cheers.

• Driver with ATI Radeon HD 3850 AGP under Windows 7 Pro 32 bit problems

  Windows 7 Pro 32 bit reports after installation of the driver that no driver is present. There was patch drivers provided by ATI to solve these problems, but these drivers did not resolve the problems. Has anyone had success with this installation, and if so, would you please provide me with how you did this? Thank you. BTW, I did the ususal uninstall and then install, reinstalled the operating system via a facility clean and then installed the drivers, etc, etc. So far,nothing has worked. After Googling this issue I found that many others have had similar experiences with these driver problems. Now I have XP Pro and Win 7 Pro installed via dual boot and XP Pro is running pilots ok with no problems. Thank you!

  I came across the work of question three years ago on one of my machines.

  It is a problem of compatibility between the nForce 3 and AGP.  I don't remember the exact details, but with a nForce 3 and similar day SIS chipsets and a few others when they had a dual-core CPU in them, they would change the AGP port to use a PCI driver or something of this nature to enable the multi-core support (such as it's been hacked on toward the end of their development).  On Windows Vista and upward, such a workaround solution does not work.  SiS and some other published updates driver for the motherboard chipsets which he sorted, nVidia did not worth it, despite nForce 3 sold as Vista compatible.  nVidia pulled this stunt with a lot of things at the time, including their GeForce 5 cards, saying they supported Vista, same with the beta drivers and then they just canned originally.  They took both.

  It is a solution that will be the kind of work, but as you may have guessed, you will need to disable one of the cores of your CPU.

  You can do this by going to msconfig, click on the Startup tab, click Advanced... and changing the number of processors at 1.

  Reboot and your graphics drivers will spring magically to life.

• HP Photosmart 3210 will not install on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.

  HP Photosmart 3210 will not install on a brand new desktop running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.  I downloaded the latest software, and when I run it, the installation window disappears shortly after it starts.  No error message.  I ran into several related issues lately.  I can't install a ScanJet 5590 on a new laptop running Windows 7 Pro 32-bit.  Said it ends, but nothing is installed.   Could the fact that there are other HP printers installed on these computers (network printers) installed using driver only before attempting to install the software cause problems?  I spent hours trying to solve these.

  OK, much better progress!

  If the software is always installed, tell him you'll connect later.

  Go to devices and printers, look for the printer here, make sure you that no documents waiting to print and delete the printer if it is there.

  Then go into Device Manager and remove all photosmart series 3200 drivers you find, you may need to click displays hidden on the view menu.

  Thirdly, go back to the devices and printers. Select another printer, as the writer XPS comes with Windows. Along the top, with adding a device, add a printer, print server, you will see properties. What to choose and go to the tab drivers. If you have the HP drivers in there you do not, select them and choose delete and "delete the driver only."

  Now restart and go to your Start menu and your HP folder. You must have installed the software, just no device driver, select "add a device" or "printer setup and software." Installation should complete without problem.

  One last thing, you must temporarily turn off firewall and antivirus installation, in which case he mistakingly tries to block the attempt to install.

  Good impression!
