• How to activate windows after upgrading my memory and HDD, motherboard?

  I built my system with a full copy of Windows Vista four years ago.  Since then, I've bought a 3 license upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium.  I've improved this system and a laptop with this copy.  Now, I did a major update on my main system, replace the card mother, cpu, memory, and hard drive.  I made a new installation using the disks in windows 7, assuming that he asked to give me my Vista drive, but he never did.  The installation is completed successfully and now, three days later, I received an activation error.  The automated phone system didn't work either, saying: I did not meet licensing requirements.  What can I do?

• plugin - container.exe sucks mass memory and makes my computer lag, how I stop it all to appear because he appeared only with the download of the latest firefox?

  I want to keep the plugin - container.exe to come...

  This has happened

  A few times a week

  == I downloaded the latest firefox

  I have the same problem with Firefox 3.6.6 except that it also consumes massive amounts of CPU during the race. This version also adds a new process on your system. I am running XP and in the beginning I tried to disable some plug-ins. Always consumed too much memory. I went back to version 3.6 and the new process went, and the CPU consumption is way down. Something is wrong with the latest version of Firefox, I never saw behave this way. Revert to a previous version (Filehippo) and you will see the difference.

• the process Svchost.exe to netsvcs uses a lot of memory (~ 600 MB) and 100% cpu

  I have windows xp edition sp3 family. I hit the power button to hibernate the pc but I think an automatice update was running.  Pc crashes when windows resumes after hibernation. I forced a re-boot, but now the svchost.exe to netsvcs process uses a lot of RAM and CPU. I have a Dell Dimension 8250 with 1 GB of RAM. Svchost uses > 600 MB of memory and 100% of the CPU unless I have stop the DHCP service. When I stop DHCP the svchost stops using CPU and memory affected slowly decreases to about 150 MB and remains at this level. But without DHCP I do have access to the network.

  After installing SP3 recently I started having some weird problems, as I lost my printer and had to re - install the software. Also noticed that after re-booting and desktop appears completely empty, the screen turns white and the taskbar at the bottom will appear empty for about 30 seconds, then reappears. PC seems to be more slow tha before installing SP3.

  I've tried everything. Nothing stopped the svchost to chew all the memory, virtual memory and time processor. Had to re - install windows xp.

• Dllhost.exe consumes too much physical memory and execution of 25% of CPU

  Dllhost.exe use high memory Usages.How to solve this problem?

  

  Hi Brendan,

  Did you recent hardware or changes to the software to the computer before the show?

  Dllhost.exe is a process belonging to Microsoft Windows Operating System. The dllhost.exe file manages DLL based applications. This program is important for the stable and safe running of your computer and should not be terminated. DLLhost using lots of CPU may indicate a malware issue.

• Windows Error Reporting service stopped recording of events in the event log, and now when it spawns werfault.exe, the process consumes the CPU until he is killed.

  Hi Wannknow,

  It's good information - and thanks for the thanks! You really only need to run an adware or virus (malware) program at the same time. What I would recommend is that you choose an adware program - either "Windows Defender" or "spyware doctor" and disable the other. This can be your root problem, so at this point I turn back on 'report of problems and solutions' and see if you experience the same problem:

• audiodg.exe uses extreme amounts of memory and is a memory leak

  In my version of Win7, I noticed that the audiodg.exe problem since the days of Vista as posted here http://blogs.msdn.com/larryosterman/archive/2007/01/31/what-is-audiodg-exe.aspx have not been resolved to the extent of the audiodg.exe is concerned. I am exceeding 980 mb after that a few hours of computer work on my system and the CPU (3 hearts) gets POUNDED by this process later. Once I have kill the audiodg.exe in my system task manager becomes very fast and catchy as it should be. However, I lose all sound.

  I have a card his Creative Labs X - Fi Xtreme with the latest drivers for Windows 7.

  Why has this file and its inability to free the memory that should not have been treated for Windows 7? allocation of 980 mb on a 4 GB system for this driver file is ridiculous! I don't like how many bells and whistles your soundcard uses, it is an astronomical amount of memory it consumes and refuses to release back to the system.

  ALT-tab between applications once this process is killed becomes as sensitive and night on my system.

  PLEASE FIX THIS FILE!

  I don't buy a preconfigured PC because they never are good imo. I have a Gigabyte mobo, 4 GB of memory Corsair (Dominator), graphics card Sapphire Radeon ATI 3870, Coolermaster HAF 932 case, 720 processor Phenom II AMD and Creative XFi Xtreme card sound w/Windows 7 drivers. All the drivers are always up-to-date for all. No overclocking (yet) done. Windows 7 Pro version version too.

  I'll take a look at this link, but IMO there is a serious issue with the code in the audiodg.exe since Vista process that has not yet been fixed. Some ppl of things on report items is:

  (1) system response extremely slow when alt-tabbing between applications because of the audiodg.exe process. (I've noticed this myself).
  (2) sound recording causes gaps in the audio file created in the same period of 11ms audiodg.exe takes to dump its worker threads. (I have not checked myself that I have no noise, but this gentleman here can attest to this fact here .)
  (3) use of the extremely exorbitant memory and memory leaks the audiodg.exe. (I've noticed myself and he checked with almost 1 GB of memory used on the file audiodg.exe)

  I think your link above can be a good solution for this problem of using memory thank you (unless of course your Creative card uses Dolby Digital Live) to find but other issues (1 and 2) should always be addressed to people who have noticed them on this forum and others. I wll contact creative labs and pin them down on resources from misuse or from the memory of this asap services!

  The related solution will not work if you are using Ventrilo (I have use a lot) so I'll also contact Creative as to what may be a problem with their services and how they interact with the file subsystem audiodg.exe.

• HP 550: updated hp 550 memory and cpu with the unconventional settings. is not ideal, but not other choice

  HI guys, I hope you can help or at least give a point in the right direction. I am a freelance photographer with a large part of the suite creative Adobe CS6. After a disaster of a week, I came home to find the motherboard on my editing station is fried somehow. I don't know what happened though I wouldn't put past my inattention of roommates.
  I'm desperate. I have to finish my current job until I'm able to afford to buy a replacement. So I have to rely on stop-gap measures, in desperation to finish my project, that are less than ideal, but so far are doing better than I'd hoped.
  Im a photographer, Capture One, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, Adobe Photoshop and Premiere Pro are the go for workaholic applications that I need to work. without them I have no income. in order to have this machine run these applications,
  the machine I have left is an old hp 550 that was gathering dust in the closet. It was built for 32 bit Win XP and in no case is designed to run adobe products food pork I use, particularly of Lightroom.
  Unfortunately PS with Lightroom and first are 64-bit programs and LR and first are hyper threaded. so I did some research and with the help of the list of the utility windows 7 Advisor to upgrade instructions, I was able to get windows 7 Pro 64-bit to install and run.

  I know that this is not the ideal machine or the situation, but for a few weeks, I need to make it work.

  I really just 2 simple questions. First of all, I went to the HP technical support. but they were not useful. as the guarantee of the laptop are long gone, they would be not even polite and basically told me to shove off. Then on another forum, I called back and comes with a knowledge it all who constantly insisted on the fact that there was no way no how this pc could run 64 bit win 7, which i thought what am I seeing things? It works very well for 3 months. So I decided to come to you. your forums were useful on many occasions.

  Basically, I need this machine to run these programs during the next month or two, until I can buy a new machine.

  essentially, what I want to know, it's the motherboard support an upgrade of the processor? and if anything goes, what do you suggest as a substitute, given my needs? The Core 2 duo is the bare minimum of what I can limp with like photo/video rendering times are excessively slow.

  then I was talking to the support staff essential tech upgraded memory. and possibly set the bios to force to run 8 gigs of ram. They said that they have cold cannot find any version of bios that would make that possible, but only by forcing already run 64 bit, which has already allowed the pc to use the full 4 GB of ram, which was impossible in the 32-bit format. He suggested that I buy 2 4 gig modules such as 4 GB DDR2 PC2-5300 unbuffered NON - ECC, 1.8V 512Meg x 64 which can be seen at http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/memory/ct51264ac667 and try to install the full 8 concerts and see what would happen, saying that he had a feeling that I might get lucky. his logic is that the 64-bit system already open the ram limits and who knows, you can't make an omelet without cracking of eggshells! It seemed very optimistic. So, what do you think? It seems likely you because I love to work. or do you think the guy was a quack? and this whole endeaver is a waste of time and money?

  also, any other suggestions on how to time this month long storm that do not involve suggestions of buying new machines would be appreciated!

  Unfortunately, the maximum configuration is a processor T5670 1.8 ghz and 4 GB of DDR2-667 memory, you already have. The CPU includes the 64-bit instructions is not surprising, that it can run Windows 7 64-bit. My best advice is to save your money for when you can get a real working machine. The only other likely to help is a solid state drive, you might use in the laptop and then also use the new computer that you intend to buy.

• zcfgsvc.exe running after start and 80 to 90% of CPU usage

  I have a Toshiba Satellite runnig XP home uptodate all - it is slow - like zcfgsvc.exe takes 80 to 100% of cycles cpu, I can finish it in process Explorer, but if I disable it at startup until my without wire does not connect course, anyone has an idea why this forum works after the start, and why it would take that much CPU cycles

  Thanks to two of your answers.  I ran Malwearbytes nothing found, have not found anything this either with intel active in the machine, well keep looking.

  Thanks again

  Maybe a little clarification is required.

  The wireless adapter should be "managed" to connect to wireless networks.

  The manufacturer of the chip - in your case Intel - provided a utility to do this.  zcfgsvc.exe belongs to who and why stop using the Task Manager causes your wireless adapter stop working.

  ALSO Microsoft provides a utility to manage wireless cards and include it in Windows XP.  It's called Wireless Zero Configuration or WZC and there are various files that compose, including wzcsvc.dll.

  Although there must be an active utility to manage the wireless card, it can only be one active utility at the same time.  Thus, most of the utilities provided by the manufacturers have an option, somewhere in their menu 'Préférences' or 'Settings' to turn off in favor of Windows WZC.  I do not use Intel PRO/Set, so I don't know exactly where he is, but if you right-click on the icon of PRO/Set in the Notification System (next to the time display) area you should see a way to get into the preferences of the utility.

  As Windows WZC is concerned, open network connections (start > run > ncpa.cpl > OK), right-click on the icon for your wireless adapter and select Properties.  Click the "Wireless networks" tab and at the top you will see a checkbox "Use Windows to configure my wireless network."

• ESXi 5.1 - Exchange 2007 - file Page memory and CPU allocation

  I'm currently migrating a class Cluster CSC Exchange 2007 running on vmware on windows 2008, 2003.  It is also a SCC Cluster.  I followed all of the vmware and MS best practices, but not sure of one thing IM is the size of memory and CPU allocation page/swap file.  I have 5 Esxi hosts and each is running only Exchange 2007 comments according to vmware and MS recommendations when you use the Clustering of CSC.

  Each host has 2 CPUs to 6 cores per processor and 48 gb of Ram and that each host will have only a guest, would like to send it to the guest.  I read somewhere that it is recommended this page exchange 2007 memory size + 10 mb file.  Do I really need to get the page to the size of the file?  250 GB of disk space is a lot for swap files! IM also not sure what to set the allocation processor too.  If someone can point me in the right direction, I would be grateful.

  Thank you

  Hi dlargeit,

  First of all, off - welcome to the VMTN forums!

  I'm with Josh26 I've ever seen any recommendations indicating that when a CCS cluster virtualization virtual machine by host is taken in charge. It is recommended to keep only a single node SCC by host (which is true for all virtual clusters or technologies like Exchange CSC/CCR/DAG), but there is nothing specific regarding the keep only a single virtual machine by host.

  On the file page, you are actually right on that.  For Exchange 2007, the paging file must be on the amount of memory configured as well as 10 MB to account for overhead costs of the kernel.  It is recommended by Microsoft and it is planned to provide enough space page Exchange should exchange more provide the necessary overhead if meet you a server failure and need to create a complete memory dump.

  You can find this recommendation here: http://technet.microsoft.com/library/aa996719 (EXCHG.80) .aspx

  In terms of CPU allocation, which should really be made according to your individual needs rather than just give all the resources the VM on the ESXi host.  Microsoft lists the maximum recommended for processor resources (Planning Processor Configurations: Exchange 2007 help) and it says that 12 hearts is the maximum for mailbox or Hub Transport box.  Is your really big enough environment need a lot of CPU resources?  Why not start small and increase it if necessary?

  You are in control of your own destiny in some of these configurations.  If you know the recommended page file size is 10 MB of RAM +, do not give the server more RAM is really needed, or you will have to pay for it in the consumed disk space to host the pagefile.  See the guide to memory resources (Planning Memory Configurations: Exchange 2007 help) to understand the maximum rates of memory for Exchange.  You will see that the maximum memory is 32GB, so there are very few reasons to assign all 48GB of RAM on your server, if it can even use.

  In short, the size of the server based on the real needs and I am confident, that you will have a virtualized Exchange system that performs as well as physical.

• Flash Player 17.0.0.134 high memory and CPU

  Hello

  I can't find any information or solutions to this. From the 17.0.0.134 updated Flash version, it uses a ton of memory and cpu high. I've updated everything (windows, browsers, plug-ins, video... etc) I am on Windows using Firefox 36.0.4(up-dated hier de.0.3) 8.1 and it continues to sky rocket, and then everything slows down and tell me the shockwave plugin broke down and I need to close. In addition, I continue to receive messages from my Norton on the high use of the disc of the flash player: (PLEASE)... can someone help me or at least tell what other people have the same problem.

  Thank you very much!

  Yes, I'm not surprised by the memory.  Farmville may have earned of objects loaded, which gets intensive memory, and then we do a lot of caching and optimization on top of it.  The CPU usage is higher than I'd like, but there is so much crazy stuff goes under the hood of these kinds of games.  Zynga is actually in front of the team of Flash Player in San Francisco, so we spent a lot of time to work with them to build the profilers and adjust their games.

  Honestly, you will get probably better performance in IE - there was a lot of performance tuning for Win8 spent energy, and it does not suffer from either architectural deficiencies in the implementation of Firefox this impact, or performance of the OpenGL performance issue that affects the PPAPI Flash Player at the moment.  We are actively working on both of these problems, so it is hopefully a temporary situation, but two corrections are negligible.

  The ActiveX control also gets a lot of latest Windows compiler optimizations that we use for the Chrome or the plug-in on Firefox NPAPI still.  We will eventually migrate to the latest compilers of Windows for everything, but it's a lot of work.  Switching compilers seems easy, but it's always a very difficult effort when you have a million line code base and more.  I don't think that what you see, it's quite unreasonable as it is really ambitious content, but you will probably get a better experience of IE on the desktop with Stage3D mode such things.

  You are confused of RAM and disk space available.

  RAM stores information temporarily while the Mac is enabled and the application is reached. RAM replacement has no effect on the long term of your information storage.

  The hard drive is where your information is stored in the long term. If you replace your hard drive, you need restore the information from a backup.

  FYI, for your iMac, the maximum RAM is only 6 GB.

  Hi MarkBerri,

  ·         How long have you been faced with this problem?

  ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

  Svchost.exe is a process name generic host for services that run from dynamic link (dll) libraries. The Svchost.exe file is located in the folder C:\Windows\System32. At startup, Svchost.exe checks the registry services part in order to build a list of services that it needs to load. Multiple instances of Svchost.exe can run at the same time. Each Svchost.exe session can contain a grouping of services. Therefore, separate services can run, depending on how and where Svchost.exe is started. This grouping of services enabling better control and easier debugging.

  Svchost.exe groups are identified in the following registry key:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Svchost
