  • Windows Live Movie Maker-how access slowed down effect

    movie maker slow?

    Slow Motion is a tool of the mounting base video... I do not understand? Why include a video editing software that only the most basic functions?

    Hey tug luke,.

    1. use Windows movie maker or Windows live movie maker?

    If you use Windows Live Movie Maker it has no available Slow Down effect.

    Only Windows Movie Maker v2.6 has that effect. I recommend that you download Windows Movie Maker 2.6 If you want access to the effect of "slow down, half.

    To make your video more slowly by using this version of Windows Movie Maker, you must use the effect "slow down, half. On the table of the storyboard / timeline, select the video clip, picture, or title to which you want to add the effect. Click on 'Tools' and then click 'effects '. In the "Contents" pane, click the effect you want to add (in this case, "slow down, half"). You can click on 'Play' under the preview monitor to see a preview of what looks like the effect, or simply click and drag the clip to the video or photo.

    You uninstall not she, you reinstall Vista on top of it

    You have the Vista DVD, so do a clean install with it.

    As Vista is pre-installed you will need probably not the Producr Key that is on the sticker on your laptop if you use of the manufacturer provided recovery disk

    If you need it, insert the product key from the sticker on the laptop case

    Boot from the Vista DVD and follow the instructions of the manufacturer.

    Make sure that the CD / DVD Drive (optical drive) is the 1st in the boot order.

    Thank you very much. Would be a new instal OS solve these problems?

    If you mean a new facility on a reformatted drive or a system recovery using recovery of the manufacture process, Yes, certainly, unless it's a hardware problem - but then you learn nothing about what caused the problem in the first place and so how do I prevent it from happening again.
    WRT your mistakes: -.
    1. nothing to worry about, as most of the machines do not have parallel ports today (unless yours does?)
    (2) it is difficult to talk about this, without more details-, but because they say "dependants", rather that "unload", it can probably be ignored.
    (3) it seems normal - I've seen a lot of PC with this error, and apparently nothing wrong. -It is important only if you are connected to a domain server
    (4) the service (I think) is a result of system crash, rather than a cause of the grip.
     
    It seems that the cause of this will remain a mystery.
    My earlier concern about SR doesn't work not just because of problems still standing stop - but back your data first, so that if the worst happens and you cannot start the system later, you can go to plan B.
    As Lorien says, try a back system restore to before the problem started - although at 2 months, I would worry about the stability of the system later. Since you already said that you are willing to do a reinstall if necessary, give it a whirl :)

  • has deleted part of the key of windows vista which has been integrated with the laptop and when I start the laptop it asks activation, what to do, please give solutions

    the sticker on my laptop has disappeared/deleted and I am not able to see the full key for windows vista operating system has been pre-installed on the laptop and now she asks activation and I did not quite correct key because he got faded/deleted, how can I get the key to work on the laptop I have compaq-presario-cq60-420 US laptop.please help me or give me the microsoft contact numbers where I can get my key of windows vista back by providing the serial number and the product number for my laptop.  I am unable to work as the laptop does not work without the activation key.

    Hello

    You can use a magnifying glass and a flashlight to see if you can read the numbers of the product key on the label.

    Or take a picture of it and expand it on the screen.

    ______________________________________________________________

    Also that, read also:

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks and to reinstall the operating system.

    They should do this for a fee, if they still have available to them.

    _____________________________________________________________

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    ____________________________________________________________

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

    The methods above resettlement generally do not require allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.

  • What to do with my computer laptop windows vista which does not start? He gets a screen before before her windows error recovery screen restarts.

    Tittle says it all, I tried safe mode and the rest of them, but I can't start

    Restore point:

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

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

     

    If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    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.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  • 10 Windows, system and process compressed memory & slow down the performance of Lightroom

    I use Lightroom 6.6 (non - CC version) and for months, I have noticed the degradation in performance on my machine Windows 10 the more Lightroom runs. LR restarts solves the problem for a while, but anywhere from minutes to an hour, Lightroom performance down to the level where it becomes unusable.

    Finally, I think I found a reproducible indicator in the Task Manager which may lead to the reason for this - it seems to be linked to the process "System and compressed memory" which is new for Windows 10. Maybe it's a coincidence, it could be the correlation instead of causation - but that's what I want to know.

    When I start Lightroom and edit some pictures, everything seems normal in the Task Manager:

    17-07-2016 00-59-41.png

    Lightroom uses about 6 GB of memory, which is OK, as I 24GO of RAM in my machine. The mentioned system and compressed memory process currently maintains that a low profile with the use of memory 204 MB and Lightroom performs well at this point.

    Some pictures later, however, things start to get worse:

    17-07-2016 01-09-15.png

    The system and compressed memory process increases its memory footprint and Lightroom memory footprint decreases. At this point, I think Lightroom is already slower - but this could be just imagination. It isn't so bad so I can be sure that it really is.

    But a few minutes and retouching of photos later, system and compressed memory past Lightroom in the memory usage and which are how things always become really bad:

    17-07-2016 01-37-54.png

    System and compressed memory draws a memory more and more away from Lightroom, and meanwhile, Lightrooms performance is killed. As I understand the system and memory tablet, it's intent is to compress the memory instead of disk paging-, but it seems he has high performance here and there of the implications would not even be necessary to page or compress memory because there were a lot:

    17-07-2016 01-38-08.png

    Perhaps a Windows problem, may be a Lightroom problem - chances are, it's a combination of the two. With 24 GB RAM and Lightroom be gourmet applications in memory just running, this should not occur or cause problems. I use other applications in memory such as Visual Studio, or sometimes first - this does not occur when you use this application.

    I can't believe I'm the only one knows than that on Windows 10 - yet I have not found much about it online, just a few remarks on this subject in some support threads here and there, but no solution.

    So-, here is my question d ' others have experienced this too? Someone was able to get this under control? It's really frustrating relaunch Lightroom every 30 to 60 minutes to get a good performance.

    Thanks for the tips

    b.

    There is a leak memory known in Lightroom 6.6. You might want to try to go back to Lightroom 6.5.1 and see if the problem goes away. See How do I restore a previous version of Lightroom? The Lightroom Queen and where it says Lightroom 6.1.1 you insert Lightroom 6.5.1
