  BIOS - how to enter the BIOS and change Boot Order To Boot from CD/DVD

  The computer might need to be set to boot from the DVD drive.

  Each computer is different, when you turn on the computer, it should tell you what button to push to get into the BIOS. It is usually one of the following options and you have to push it in the first 5 seconds:

  F1 F2 F10 F12 ESC LED

• Windows Vista on low performance laptops

  Windows Vista can most likely run on a machine like that, but here I will report soon enough for consumers Equium L-20 if they can run Windows Vista on these machines.

  I will soon get their hands on Beta 2 of 17.6.06 weekend, so keep an eye on this page to see all the problems that may fall in front of you because I'm going to help you with any of your requests and problems that will meet these machines.

  Hello

  The big topic and I hope that we will be able to get answers about the prolems with VISTA running on Toshiba laptops?

  I have the Toshiba L10 Equium laptop and I installed VISTA a couple of days and installation takes about 40 minutes, which is very good, considering that the L10 is only a Celeron 1.5 GHz (M). He's not a ' all little bit slower "than in Windows XP, but I'll still give it a few days to play with it.

  The only one I installed since the utility CD W/LAN driver and I indicated that VISTA to the. INF (using XP SP2 compatibility mode) file in the folder, this utility on the CD and after reboot XP, W/LAN card has been detected and the driver installed. I can now access the internet wireless.

  I also have an "unknown device" in Device Manager and that seems to be related to ACPI and when you check the properties and are perhaps "Microsoft Smart Battery subsystem" and I do not know which utility on the CD could address this. If anyone has seen it work on their L10 and knows what it is and what driver it has need, I'd appreciate some info please.

  The "unknown device" in Vista has its location as-controller embedded compatible ACPI 'Microsoft' and 'value' is presented as
  ACPI\ACPI0001 and * ACPI0001 and by chance, this is be the same 'value' for "Micrsoft SMART Battery subsystem" on the L10 when Windows XP is installed on it.

  Apart from that, I have only one small problem, and I miss the 'battery power remaining' icon the system tray specifications and I can't find it in VISTA.

  You can go into Power Options in VISTA, but I do not see the options "energy saving" laptop that you get with WinXP or the option to have an icon in the systray.

  Anyone know if these portable options are in VISTA and if so, where?

  never had a disc of windows vista with the new laptop and no option to make a recovery disk, and I need to format my laptop to factory / clean, help!

  How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their way of doing recovery disk/s.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  I have a HP laptop with Windows 7 (OS) with 64 bit, but very slow. Can you suggest a way to start my fast pc? Most of the time it doesn't quite work.

  Hello

  There are a number of possible reasons, your computer may run slowly - virus infection or malware, missing to defragment the hard drive, too many programs loading at startup - and all with different causes / solutions. So here goes:

  Virus/Malware - Download, install and run these scanners (only Avast so you do not have your own antivirus installed):

  Malwarebytes': http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html .

  SuperAntiSpyware: http://download.cnet.com/SuperAntiSpyware-Free-Edition/3000-8022_4-10523889.html .

  Avast Antivirus: http://download.cnet.com/Avast-Free-Antivirus/3000-2239_4-10019223.html .

  Disk Defragging - install and run this app: http://download.cnet.com/Auslogics-Disk-Defrag/3000-2094_4-10567503.html .

  Startup programs - install this application, then select start only the programs you need to run at startup, as your antivirus, firewall, but not your Disk Defragmenter (examples):

  Splash Guard: http://download.cnet.com/Startup-Guard/3000-2239_4-10958203.html.

  Also, your system's drivers are up-to-date? Updated the driver can also slow down your system. Go to HP.com and insert the complete your laptop model number in the search box to find your latest drivers.

  Let me know if these speed up your pc.

  Kind regards

  Hello

  1 have had any changes made to your computer before this problem?

  2. what version of Windows are you using?

  I suggest you to follow the methods below and check if it helps.

  Method 1: SFC scan run on the computer to ensure that the system files are intact:

  How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

  Method 2:

  a. go to the Media Player.

  b. in the menu-> file-> manage libraries-> select each library (music, video, photos, TV recorded (if you have)

  c. check the paths that he manages and make sure it is not too near the root of the C: drive.  For example, it should be something like c:\users\Jim\Music and c:\users\Public\Music BUT NOT c:\users because they will cause the whole directory to re tree - index over and over (when you surf the web, or change files in your profile).

• Windows Vista puts up-to-date makes pc and slow down the browser issues any help?

  OK first turned off im not a computer genius or an irritable person. but I have two PCs, one runs windows vista that in recent years its got terribly slow with each update and in particular some of them it becomes a bit slower, I noticed. I would like to install the updates of the browser windows 7 and all this reallycan help speed that my old pc can run games online and pc itself can run faster but I need to install these make the updates. my browser and pc so slow it is literally an analysis sometimes or just stops. It does not help the games that are played in particular in the form of online browser. I'm really at a loss what to do. I completely erased the HDD and reset to factory settings that makes my pc running at a pace that is very nice but not fast enough for some games online that work 7. is there something that you have out there which can remove all glitched updates and only installs the updates that really are needed and will not clutter up my pc or do my pc slow as a snail again.  or a list of important updates only that you need just to move to 7 with duty to update ALL updates. When I deleted the hard drive at the factory, it runs great. then it is better in a few years. I don't want to end up with the same problem. again and again... or end up not being able to play my games online, because the software cannot be updated. When I tried to update my software back again once to a crawl even AFTER I had just wiped out the hard drive {not to mention I had to whipe it again to get the updates to do works back} so obviously, as I suspected it was the windows updates that are a malfunction of my pc. I have even higher speed dsl and it works like a charm on any other pc very well and runs on this pc as well when his shattered fine if not not not my net access is make my browser. I'm really at a loss here.  I hope someone out there can help publicize me updates anyone can help me and those that I should avoid because it's very frusterating.

  recently purchased a samsung NX30 camera which came with lightroom 5, after several hours of searching on Google I got it setup properly with the right camera raw to be able to access my raw images.

Is there a way to access the serial number of my version already installed and insert it in the version of track to make it work for me?

  Myron

  If you take the time to register to your original with Adobe installation (which most people do not), you can log in to your Adobe account and get the serial number. If you use a Windows computer and still have access to the old computer where Lightroom is installed, you can do the following:

  1. in the window folder options, make sure that you are able to see hidden folders.

  2. go to the C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Lightroom folder.

  3. use Notepad to open the file, Lightroom 5.0 Registration.lrreg

  You will be able to retrieve your serial number of this file.

  Hi Gianni,

  I use Nero to burn DVDs, and one of the configurable options is the task of "priority". If I set it to 'high' then my phone behaves as you described, that is very slowly. Check if you have you encode/burn too high task priority.
