Hi guys,
I have an Acer Aspire 5920g running on w7 ultimate 32 b intel (r) core(TM)2 duo CPU - T7300
it keeps FREEZING up randomly.
I have noticed a pattern: event 7036
Can you please help me understand how to solve the problem?
Why does it freeze up? Can I fix it?
Each freeze up is 15 to 25 secs long :/
please reply in very very basic language as i am no expert.
thanks
g.1) What is new or different since the last TIME everything worked properly (ie, new hw, new SW, virus, error, etc)?

2) Does it freeze in safe mode?

3) Have you RUN full scans with BOTH your anti virus app and with MalwareBytes? If not, please do so now.Problem began to appear shortly after purchase of pc, though it was rarer(like once every 2-4 days... Then progressively became more frequent to the actual  2-4 times daily). I was using the preinstalled factory Vista and since it was in its early days and it was being criticised left right and centre i assumed it was an os prob. Did not use this pc for about a year and then i had a friend install the actual w7.
Problem is still there. It was there from start really though, despite new os, it seems to be getting worse...
I have run on many occasion malwarebytes' progr. And antiv. Both in safe mode with no findings whatsoever...
I have never used safe mode long enough totest it. I normally scan and leave. Do you think i should use the pc in safe mode for a longer time? Can i use it to watch video, surf net etc...? What antivirus? The event 7036 shows an article pertaining to McAfee.

I have recently had to replace my wirelss modem, due to an electrical storm. The trouble is now the new modem won't recognise that there is an ETHERNET connection between my computer and the new  WIRELESS modem/router. The CABLE is physically connected tot he modem but the port light is not on. There is nothing wrong with cable as I have plugged in my old non-wireless modem via this cable and it has worked (I am connected to the internet now using this cable and old modem). When I trouble shoot the connection problem it is saying the ethernet cable is unplugged when it is not. Changing the cable does not solve the problem, when I took the modem back to the shop they tried it on their computer and it connected and worked no problem.
I gave tried everything from system restore to a date pre-electrical storm,updating drivers, resetting and manually reconfigering the modem. On a couple of occasions I have been able to get a signal (the port light is on and I can connect to the internet) only to return to my computer and find that the port light has gone off and there is no longer a connection. I thought that maybe the modem was not compatible with my computer for some reason and so changed the brand (Netgear to D-Link) still no joy. HELP!!!!  I want to make sure i understand your issue correctly. So due to electrical damage you had to replace your modem. isp provided and dsl is that right? I am not sure what you are referring to in terms of the hardware as you seem to be using modem and router interchangeably. I know you have a modem but what is the reference to "router"? Sometimes DSL modems have a built in router. In my case i have an ISP modem but i have a separate router that is capable of both wireless and cable (Ethernet) CONNECTIONS. You keep referring to a "wireless connection but then appear to be saying that you are actually connected from the computer to the "modem via a cable. So where does the issue of "wireless " come into it? If you have a modem/router capable of wireless transmission and a computer that has a built in wi-fi (such as most MODERN laptops) then a search for an available network should find your modem/router. If the computer doesn't have a built in wi-fi receiver you will need a wireless dongle to receive the modem/router signal. If the latter is the case you will need to have installed software for the dongle. So come back to us and elaborate on what it is you actually have and what it is you are trying to achieve re your connection to your ISP. truenorth

My computer has over a 100 reports sent to Windows to fix this and no response

Several months ago (in June I believe) I POSTED a question regarding my wish to accomplish a CLEAN install of Vista on my HP machine.  Of course, when I bought the machine, I did not receive any O/S reinstall disk.  Rather, I was FORCED to create my own factory installation recovery disks, which, of course, include all the crapware included by the box maker.  My question was whether I could use another person's reinstallation disk to do a clean install, and then use my legitimate product key to authenticate the installation.  Well, I finally got AROUND to doing this, and it worked out PRETTY well.  About the only wrinkle was, because I used a new clean hard drive, I had to change the product key to reflect the key I received with my machine.  There was also a problem or two with drivers, but I managed to get those resolved. 

Just thought some of the readers might be interested in how this process worked out.Good to hear it worked out and thanx for stopping back to let us know...

Windows vista, home premium, 32 bit op system, Service pack 2. a6200n is the model number, it is a hewlett packard. AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual core processor 5000+  2.60 GHz.    There is 6 gigs of ram in the motherboard. I have an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 squeezed in onto the pci express slot (graphics card).  And i am using an antec 900 COMPUTER case OPPOSED to the original case. There are cooling modications, but other than that there are no other major modifications.                                  When I attempt to make changes using F10, and entering setup, prior to the computer booting, I am allowed to make and save the changes. But when i reenter setup on next restart or attempt to distern if the changes are in effect after the computer has booted, EVERYTHING is back to default as before. I can make no changes at all and am wondering if there is something i can do about it. I know how to save changes rather than just exit and discard the changes.Replace the CMOS battery. There is a small battery on your motherboard that's about the size of a nickel - part number CR2032. You can buy these batteries just about anywhere, Wal-mart or your LOCAL drugstore should have them.


Make sure that you're grounded to the case the whole time you're working - static electricity can fry your motherboard!

I have a Gateway FX P-7805u, which i got a few months ago. at windows start up when i turn on my laptop, the LOADING screen just keeps going and going. so, i have to turn it off manually and turn it back on. it then says that windows was not started correctly and that i can either start it normally or REPAIR the problem. I've tried to repair the problem, and at first, all it said was to do a system restore (which i would like to avoid doing, so I NEVER chose to do it). then, it kept happening, and eventually it started saying that i had to make sure that all media devices were unplugged before i start up my laptop. i tried that, and it still happens. it's now getting worse by having this problem more often. it has gotten to the point where i am now afraid that one day soon my laptop just won't start anymore. what can i do?

if it helps, i bought this laptop refurbished from tigerdirect. here is the link if you need to KNOW anything else about it: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4610279&CatId=3444

and, also, just in case anything is seriously wrong with my laptop, i decided to backup the files. i started yesterday at about 2pm and it went from then to now (12 pm) today, and it is still going. it should only take about 3-5 hours. my friend said it could be something wrong with my hard drive. what other POSSIBILITIES are there? is it a serious problem?

thank you!What happens when you try to boot into Safe Mode?

Power on the computer and tap the F8 key immediately until you come to the Advanced Boot Options.  Select "Safe Mode"   If it boots up into safe mode without trouble, then your problem is likely a driver, virus, or other software..

As I said, see if you can successfully boot into safe mode and post back.


edit: how are you backing up your files if you cannot boot your computer?

Is there a reason you have not updated to SP2?

I'm not sure if this goes here, sorry if it doesn't. But anyway, I'm planning on getting a new desktop soon, and because I'm planning on using it mainly for gaming purposes, I want to get a new video card for it also. This is the desktop and video card:

Video Memory : 512MB
Interface Slot Type : PCI-Express x16
System Requirements : 1GB RAM; 100MB free hard drive space; optical drive; PCI Express-compliant motherboard; available PCI Express x16 slot; 550W power supply

I'm just plucking information off the products on bestbuy, so yeah. I don't know too much about the system itself. Thanks.Yes that will do you proud if your gaming.. and it's updatable if necessary.Thanks, I wasn't too sure because it said the PCI-E x16 slot wasn't available, so yeah. Quote from: fairfrozen25 on September 25, 2009, 10:28:16 PM

Doesn't the video card need a PCI-E x16 slot? o_o. It's part of the System Requirements.

I have win 7. 64 Bit Home and 4. GB of RAM and a 2. Core AMD Athlon 64. CPU.

I have two Accounts setup on the SYSTEM one Limited Account and one with Administrative Rights.

I can only switch USERS about 3. times what I meen is I can only go back and forth between the two Acounts 3. times.

When I TRY to swicth users on the 3. RD time the screen goes Blue and then the system Re Starts. Then it asks if I want to start the system Normaliy or if I want to start the system in Safe Mode.

I pick Normale and the system Loads ok and I can Log On.

And the system runs and works ok but like I say it only Re Start like this if I switch users more then 3. Times.

So I RAN   Command Prompt as Administrator then ran   chkdsk c: /F

It then ran the next time the system was Re Started and told me there was No Bad Files and there are 73 Prabmlems being Processed.

But this prablem still happens all the time if I switch between users more then 3. times.

So I updated my MailwareBytes and ran it and it can up clean. Then I ran an Update on my Avast Virus program and ran it and it came up clean.

Please help?
ThanksI have more information about when I try to switch between my 2. accounts more then 3. times and I get a blue screen.

It says.

A12MDD.D11
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGEED_AREA

And then the system restarts.

The only thing it says other then that is

IF YOU HAVE ADED NEW HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE TO THE SYSTEM PLEASE CONNTECT THE ADMINISTRATOR.

I have not changed anything or aded anything.

Please help thanksRun sfc.exe - http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic43051.htmlI think I may be closer to finding out why my system Re Boots when I go between my 2. accounts more then 3. times.

I whent into the Performance Settings Tab and put a Dot in   Ajust System For Best Performance.
And every Box down the list it toock the check mark out of.

And then switched my system to Clasic Style.

I do not think this woould have that effect on the system but I wanted to ask?

And STEP 2.
I read on the web there is a File for   switching users
what is the name of this system file and how can I search for it to see if my system has it?I have looked on google for the file called   tsdiscon.exe   and it says this is used by the system and I think this may be what is going on.

I whent into contole pannle and turned on Show hidden system files and then did a search and I just found 2.

They both had the same path
c:\windows\winsxs\amd64

but ontop of the first one it found it had
tsdiscon.exe.uil

Now if this is a system file can I not put in my win7. Home CD and run a repair like they had in XP?

Where it would just copy system files back over or is this not one that it would copy over?Ok I found this web page
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/61307-switch-user-shortcut-create.html

I am miss understanding what it says?

It starts by telling you win7.Basic/Home Premuime has Fast User Switching in it.

Then down the page it says if you have win7. Premiume you need a file to download.

Then it says you will need to Switch User account and go to the Log On screen and pick the ather account you want to Log On to if you do not have this Feature.

Ok I have win7. Home Premiume 64 Bit and I made 2. account and when I want to go the the other account I go to my Start Bottun then Switch User.

Then it brings me to the Log On screen and I pick the other account.

So if it did not have it why can I do this?

Like I say it just works for 3. time then goes Blue and Restarts??It would help if you followed my advice from earlier. It will check all the system files and attempt to repair them...What manufacturing brand and model is this computer and bluescreen error message?

Dear all
previously i have posted for Trojan issue and subsequently received responses from your team on time
Now i am interested to know or get RID of issue with word 2003, installed in windows home basic 7 platform.......

I work in several Word 2003 documents (on Windows 7 platform) at the same time. When I open the first document it stays open (maximized). If I open a second document, the document opens, but then immediately minimizes down to the task bar. Same result if I open a third document. If I click on the minimized documents to open them again, they open and stay open. why I am seeing a button for each open document in the Task Bar.

with Thanks

That applies to Windows XP, not to Windows 7.

hey i recently bought a steam game called total war 2 and the game always froze when i tried to play it so i contacted steam SUPPORT who told me that i propapiply needed to install some files.so they gave me a punch of guides to files i had to download things were going smooth and stuff until i suddenly came across a file namened "clean_vcredist"

it is a batch file and as hard as i whit my insignificant skills tried to install it (or even open it) i failed miserably.after that i searched through all of youtube and google in order to find help but most videos and guides were only people speaking on how to create a new batch(or bat as they called it)file or talking about all the wonderfull things it can do.


so i finaly found this place created account and then i spent few minutes searching for a thread that matched my proplem.in vain....


and so i decided to create a new thread and stuff....


i use a brand new windows 7 the "clean_vcredit" file is in the "computer-> c program-> program files(86)-> steam -> steamapps-> common-> total war shogun 2 -> redist


my computer suggested that the file is in(bad translation) "wrong place" and i need to move it to a correct place.but i am too afraid to move it since i know nothing of bat(batch) files....You may be infected...thats not a Steam file nor game file from what i found...

How do you know it isn't running. It is a batch file. It could run so fast all you will see is a flash of the cmd window and it will be gone.

Did you do as instructed in the link I provided. 
Uninstall Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable.
Run the batch file: clean_vcredist.bat
then you need to reinstall the Microsoft Visual C++ redistribute packages again.
vcredist_x86.exe
vcredist_x86_90.exe
vcredist_x86-sp1.exe
Then reboot.

Your game is not going to run at all if you don't have the Visual C++ packages installed.

Hi guys and GALS.  A friend asked me to retrieve some pictures from his Dell computer which won't boot. I thought I could slave the harddrive to my pc and save the pictures but the Western Digital connection is not the same as what's on my pc. Is there an adapter available for this type of harddrive? When I boot the computer I get a black screen saying that there is a hardware or SOFTWARE problem and recommends I do a "Launch Setup Repair". I hit enter and it just comes back to the same message. I can choose "start Windows Normally" but it just goes to a black screen. I ran a diagnostic on the harddrive and it passed. I also ran a Memtest86 on the RAM which also passed the test. I have a Recovery Disk but I'm more concerned with saving the pictures first. Any ideas?http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-5-3-5-SATA-IDE-USB-Converter-Adapter-Connector-Cable-Hard-Disk-HDD-UK-/200698649526?pt=UK_Computing_CablesConnectors_RL&hash=item2eba925bb6

I wrote genuine problem because I'm not just here to whine about the voice recognition not being accurate... I'm kind of new to it and so far the COMMANDS work pretty well, the only problem is that when I want to dictate writing it is completely obscure.  I say "start typing" and if i say individual letters it works fine but when I try to say any words it just seems to throw out random symbols sometimes completely unrelated letters.  I keep doing the training application but it doesn't help.  Also if anyone knows how to SELECT THINGS like the address bar or any other random text box on sites and things I need help with that.  THANK you for any responses.

I am having a problem with the windows 7 screen resolution, it seems that it only recognises my LCD's native resolution of 1920 X 1200. For e.g. if I install a game and change the resolution of the game to 1600 x1200, the lcd screen becomes offset leaving me with black borders. I have tried to auto adjust the screen on the monitor controls thinking it was that, and have also tried manually to adjust  the monitor controls but without success. This problem doesn't occur when I am using Vista or Xp to play games. I was going to buy this when it is out but this is putting me of.  So is this a problem with windows 7 or not? When I google for information about this problem, it does APPEAR that other people are experiencing all kinds of problems with resolutions in windows 7. Can someone here, please explain, why am I not able to just set a resolution of 1600 x 1200 like I do in vista?Are your video drivers installed in the Win7 install ? ?

Hi,

I'm currently having trouble using Korean inputs in Facebook and Google.
I run on Windows 7 64-bit.
I have the Korean Microsoft IME installed, and on Open Office, YouTube, and other such applications, I am able to type in Korean perfectly fine.

Strangely enough, on Facebook, when I try to type in Korean (with Korean keyboard activated), the characters all come out in plain English.
If I want to type something in Korean on Facebook, I have to go through the process of typing it up on an Open Office document and copy/pasting it into Facebook.
I know that my other friends aren't having a problem typing in Korean on Facebook.

Additionally, when I try to type in Korean on Google, I am only semi-successful.
When I try to type in Korean characters into the search bar, the characters maybe first come out in English, type a few characters in Korean, and then goes back to typing English.
For example, if I try to type in something like this:
컴퓨터 (which consists of the English characters :컴 zja 퓨 vb 터 xj)
it might come out as something like:
zja퓨xj
At other times, like on Facebook, Korean does not come out at all, only English characters.

This problem occurs on both Mozilla Firefox 9.0.1 and IE.

Any idea as to what the problem might be and how to fix it?
Thank you for your time.Had a quick look around and found nothing of much interest but may be you should 'contact' Facebook and ASK them. Really taking a stab in the dark here. But could there be any relevance as to whether you are accessing these sites via something (geography wise) that is not their Korean based services? truenorthIf you display the Language Bar at the top of your desktop, does it look like this?:



With the Language Bar like that, I can type Korean in my browser, including facebook.  Some random Korean characters typed from my keyboard: ㅇ시ㅣㅗㅅ대햐ㅗㅁ댜ㅐ;해돔핻;ㅁ.

I've briefly used the Language Bar in Windows XP and just enabled it in Windows 7 after seeing this topic here.  The Language Bar has always seemed like a very finicky, sensitive tool to use.  Maybe it just takes some time to get familiar with it.  One thing I've noticed is that moving from one application to another usually requires toggling the Han/Eng button to Korean when first attempting to type Korean in the latter application.  Once you've typed Korean in a program window, leave that window, and then return to it, Windows usually remembers you were typing Korean there.

If I want to type something in Korean on Facebook, I have to go through the process of typing it up on an Open Office document and copy/pasting it into Facebook.

Hi. I've looked everywhere for a WORKING solution to removing the transparent boxes behind my desktop icons (SHOWN in an image I'll upload for you, although I imagine you're all very aware of what I'm talking about). So, naturally. I've tried several suggestions such as dropping shadow, having an html image, replacing .dll files with recommended replacement downloads (not the safest of choices).

So, without any luck I'm here asking if anyone can recommend me a solution. I hate to ask, any suggestions are appreciated greatly.




Remove the shortcut overlay: http://download.cnet.com/Vista-Shortcut-Overlay-Remover/3000-2072_4-10608910.html What a very ugly desktop wallpaper that is!
Not what I was after, but thanks, Allan.

[EDIT] I'll still put it to useI believe it will solve your problem - try it.I tried it. It removed the shortcut arrow, however it hasn't removed the transparent box arounnd my icons.

Sorry. Thought that might have been part of the overlay.The original icons would probably need to be edited in a photo edit app to clean that out...Why does one need to remove transparent boxes?   Well just looks abit crude having them there. It's not a big deal, I know. I've found turning the image size down to large instead of very large gets rid of the box, although the size isn't the same and since I don't tend to have many files on my desktop, I like having large images.Have you tried another background ? ?  perhaps it will be less noticeable.i was actually wondering the same thing..... i just kinda want the same thing. not box AROUND the icon like the way the icons used to be in XPnone of my icons have boxes around them...with mine not sure about the other guy but the transparent box only shows when the mouse hovers over the icon.... any iconlike this icon here

I am in the Computer Managament and just don't understand a fue settings.
Everything is working I just would like to know what these fue settings do?

Say you look at the Service   FAX Service   you can set it to
Disable   this will Stoip this Service for good.

Then there is   Manual   the will let you turn this Service On and Off  this I don't know how you use.

Then there is   Automatic  this lets win turn it on and keep it in RAM till it needs it again.

Then there is    Automatic Delay  I don't get this.

OK here it goes if you set it to Disable then it is turned off for good. But how does Manual setting work? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_serviceOk the setting that just says   Automatic   just starts the Service when win Bootsup and keeps it running in RAM.

The setting   Automatic Delay   will start the Service when win Bootsup but I did not get it does then? Does it Stop it or what?Quote from the link :

starts the service a short while after the system has finished booting and INITIAL busy OPERATIONS, so that the system BOOTS up faster

I am trying to do a clean install of win 7 and have wiped the drive and installed system files for win98 when I go into setup in dos it says scanning the REGISTRY and reboots immediately instead of doing the scan. Please help I have a pentium 4 an old one an no OPERATING system as of yet, I tried to BOOT from cd by changing the bios booting sequence but no luck there either just says "missing operating system" Thanks.Why do you need Win98 to install 7 ? ?

Also that old PC is probably gonna struggle with 7.

Be more realistic in asking that PC what you want it to do.I have plenty of ram 2 gigs and have had windows 7 on it before and it RUNS fine. I am installing windows 98 so I can lay down xp over that and finally windows 7 over that.

Any body know of a FREE download of office to USE word & XL on my new lap top windows 7, i have used up the trial version, any help out there, thanks,AllanThere are Office alternatives (such as Open Office), but MS Office is not a free product and needs to be purchased. will open office do the same thingi have a disc with microsoft office & password, i loaded it on my XP laptop, works fine, did try to down load on my windows 7, does not see the disc when try to load any thpughts on that., thanksAs I just posted in your other thread, you need to stop asking about illegally obtained software.

Hello,

I have a toshiba satellite L305-s5955 laptop running vista 2gb ram.  Computer started freezing after 5-10 MINUTES of use and I have to manually power down.  But seems to run fine in safe mode.  I tried to do research, and it does not run hot, no visible signs of dust in vents/fan area, fan is moving.   Is it ok to just run it in safe mode all the time?  I only use it for browsing and selliing on ebay, downloading, editing pics.  I don't think it is infected, but I guess I don't really know.  If someone could help me troubleshoot I would be very grateful.  I have had a bad run in the last year, all 4 of our computers have broken and are unusable in the regular boot modes and 2 won't even boot.  And we broke 3 digital cameras.  I swear we aren't reckless people lol. Just some bad times fell on us and this toshiba laptop is our newest one, so id like to try and fix this one first.  I thank you for your time in reading this!When safe mode works but normal mode doesn't, that usually points to a problem with DRIVERS or startup programs. Did you install any new programs, update your drivers, or make any CHANGES at all to the computer right before this started?I don't think so, but it started freezing a couple months ago, so I am not too sure. Thanks for your fast reply.  I was reading the forums and someone suggested msconfig, disable everything, then readd things back in to see if the freeze starts again.  Should I continue with this route?

Yes.

Click start, type msconfig into the search box and press enter.

Under the general tab click selective startup.

Uncheck the Load Startup Items box.

Click the services tab and check the box next to Hide All Microsoft Services, then click Disable All.

Restart the computer in normal mode to see if the freezing still happens. Let us know what happens.

Yes.

Click start, type msconfig into the search box and press enter.

so I deleted all programs again and was going to reboot after each new program was added but when I deleted all again, it froze up.

I am trying to download book form an online library. It REQUIRES a security update to windows media player. When I go through the steps to do this its suppose to start windows media player. It doesn't . Next i went directly to the the player to see if I could download it there The only updates available are  for the player itself and I have the latest version 12.07 so i can't download any security patches. I have looked THOUGH some of the responses here but the only ONE I saw was to update IE. I don't use I E but I do have the latest version of that too. How can I get this security update?Can you post the online book link along with the security update detail or messages? Thanks ....no specific book link just. The message said I needed a security update to windows media player and gave instructions on how to do it . Open Overdrive, go to tool hit the menu then hit "windows media security upgrade"  at which point windows media player is suppose to open and from there you can download an update. But there is no update for security only an update for the program itself. Window media player does not open from Overdrive Media Console.I don't use Overdrive so you might wanna check the suggestions similar to your problem here.Thanks for your help, but no solutions thereI am sorry if no solution is applicable from the thread. Please WAIT for another member who might give you the solution to your issue. You could ALWAYS check from your available time if a suggestion is posted.

Flashing BIOS using USB for Acer Aspire 5515 W/ Black Screen of Death.*

Hello. My acer aspire 5515 has the black screen of death. It happened after using the erecovery. Anyway, I've been trying to find specific instructions for my model to FLASH the bios using a USB. The only tutorials that I've found are mostly for acer aspire one notebooks. I have another laptop that I've been using to download the bios from the acer website...I tried to flash using the instructions from the manual for my 5515 but it's apparent that I'm doing something wrong since my notebook never boots and still has a black screen. Here are the instructions for my notebook:

Steps for BIOS Recovery from USB Storage: Before doing this, prepare the Crisis USB key. The Crisis USB key could be made by executing the Crisis Disk program in another system with Windows XP OS. Follow the steps below: 1.Save ROM file (file name: JAL90x64.fd) to the root directory of USB storage. 2.Plug USB storage into USB port. 3.Press Fn + ESC button then plug in AC. The POWER button flashes once. 4.Press Power button to initiate system CRISIS mode. When CRISIS is complete, the system auto restarts with a workable BIOS. 5.Update the latest version BIOS for this machine by regular BIOS flashing process.


 ???Also, I'm confused about how to make my USB(4gb) bootable...is there anything 'special' that i have to do to it first? Do I need to rename the ROM file or keep it as is? Which bios files do I need to copy to my USB? Is there some sort of download such as 'Unetbootin' that I need to use?

As you can see, I'm LOST. There's so much information and methods of flashing that I don't know specifically whats best for my model.

Id really appreciate any advice that can bring my notebook back to life.

Hi Dan88,

You need to fix the laptop before trying a BIOS update unless the problem of the blank display is caused because a failed bios update which has left the laptop not starting. Do you get Acer on the screen when you start the laptop. What lights are lite on the laptop ? have you tried it with an external monitor ? Until you can see the Acer on the screen the laptop won't boot from USB pendrives SORRY

I am in win7. and if I go into any folder I have photos or videos or graphics I made or anything I see Thumbnails of all of them.

Now I just read on the net that if you turn off the SHOW Thumbnail feature you will speedup seartching in folders.

And I know why as you look in the folder some of the Thumbnails take some time to show up and display.

And I know there is a file called Thumbs.db that the system keeps Hidden in every folder.

And this file is what holds the information about what every Thumbnail will look like so the system will look at the Thumbs.db  file when you open a folder.

But one thing when you close a folder and are not looking at any photos or anything and you go into a Program to START doing your work the Thumbs.db file is not still in RAM?

Am I right the system only opens and looks a the Thumbs.db file when you go into a folder?Turn off thumbnail in Explorer...I believe it's either under View or Tools in the Menu bar...If I turn it off in Explorer Window will this turn it off for all folders?Beginning with Windows XP, thumbnail caching and thus, creation of Thumbs.db can optionally be turned off from Windows Explorer View Menu, Folder Options and checking "Do not cache thumbnails" on the View tab. Quote from: nymph4 on February 02, 2012, 12:33:20 PM

If I turn it off in Explorer Window will this turn it off for all folders?

And this will go though for all my folders?

We recently bought a new computer with windows 7 (64 bit) and internet EXPLORER 8.  Now we are having problems printing from the internet.  It previews fine, but when you send it to the printer, nothing happens - no documents show up in the print que.  Is anyone else having this problem and how do I fix it.  It's definitely nothing to do with IE if the print page doesn't appear in the print QUEUE. If the printer configured properly?What make and model printer ? ?
Have you checked their site for Win7Drivers ? ?

If they are not available try the Vista 64bit drivers instead...Yes.  We've had no problems printing from email and other softwares.How long are you waiting ? ?
A web page contains far more data than a text document or an e=mail...We're using an HP printer - not sure of the model SINCE I'm not at home, but it's also new.  I've waited over an hour for a simple transaction confirmation to print and nothing!I'd call HP...i believe they have an 800 #...

2 other things you can try in the meantime....try printing the web page from the print preview window...

Try another browser...I spent about 4 hours on the phone with technical support one afternoon while I was off on vacation.  They fixed several other problems, but couldn't fix this one.  They say it's a microsoft problem. Quote from: patio on January 15, 2010, 03:15:58 PM

Now, if you know about my situation about the backup zip files, you know that Im having some problems finding what videos are in what files. Should I try something different, maybe a different browser, like Google Chrome or Firefox?

If my computer is starting to get slow should I upgrade to Google Chrome or Firefox?I know nothing about your situation. But if you're thinking of trying a different browser, feel free. You can have as many installed as you like. I keep IE, Firefox, Opera and Safari installed.If you computer is slow, most likely the issue is not just the browser.
But as you may know, FireFox is the most popular browser. Then:
Opera
Chrome
IE9, IE8
Safari
SeaMonkey
.... and many more

Your main problem is how to organize zip from already unzipped files in folders on your drive.

How To Organize Your Digital Media Using Simple Steps In Windows Media PLAYER

If you have a huge library of musics organizing those collections can be difficult. Using the built-in tools of Windows Media Player you can make the task much simpler. Microsoft Windows Media Player does more than just play. Windows users can use it to import their CD collection into digital music files, burn audio CDs, and organize their music collection by generating playlists and adding album art. One of Winodws Media Player 11′s strengths is in organizing music by album; it’s simply faster than iTunes(sorry Apple fanboys but this point is true). And browsing albums by cover is, well, fun. Combine it with Vista’s search technology, which is built in to the player, and you can cue up any album just by typing in the first few LETTERS in the Search box and then clicking on the familiar album cover.

I recently moved from a desktop to a laptop and have encountered a problem. I presume that I rest my wrist on the computer and must activate some key combination that results in disabling the keyboard for any typing in any program. The SHORT keys for copy and save etc STILL work, so do the FUNCTION keys, the pad (if active) and the MOUSE. The only way I found to fix it is to reboot the computer.
Thus far I tried to recreate this under controlled conditions with no success. Anybody can help me? Even if it makes me FILL totally stupid? Please?What Model laptop ? ?Hi, Thanks for the interest. The laptop is a Lenovo G770 with an i5 processor.

I hope I'm posting this in the right part of the forum. None of the other topics seemed to fit.

Anyway, my computer is a lenovo B570 that RUNS Windows 7. I just got it this past Christmas, so it's brand new.
Lately, my computer doesn't want to turn on. It doesn't happen EVERY time I start up, but it happens rather often. The computer will
boot fine, until it gets to the log-in screen. Then it will say 'Please Wait...' and freeze right there. I tried WAITING it out, but it never continues. It DOES boot in safe MODE, however.

Last night was one of those nights where it decided not to work. Specifically, I had just turned it off, and my MOM wanted to use it. It had been about five minutes since I shut it down, but I tried turning it back on. And...it froze. Multiple times.

But, on to the newest development, when I got up this morning, it booted fine. However...there's a new icon on the toolbar. It's a document icon with a red check on the side of it. It appears next to the language bar, because I've switched to a Japanese locale. When I mouse over, it says 'Correction', but clicking on it does absolutely nothing and right clicking only gives me toolbar options.

So I'm asking two questions: What is the 'correction' icon for, and why won't my computer start sometimes?

I appreciate any help.

Choose safe mode with NETWORKING which will give you web access.

Hello,  I hope I can explain the ISSUE.  I have 2 Computers that I had to re-install the Operating System on (Windows 7 Home 32Bit). First a Gateway, Then just recently my Sony Vaio.  Both were on my HomeGroup. My Gateway Computer name was STEVE-GW.  Now it is Steve-GW.  After installing Windows on my Sony, I created a new Homegroup on my GW and tried to join with my Sony.  My Sony is still recognizing the OLD GW Computer Name of STEVE-GW.  I tried to change the Computer Name on the Gateway back to STEVE-GW, but was unsuccessful.  Why is my Sony still recognizing my old Gateway Computer Name?  Where on the Sony is the Gateway Name Stored?  Can I change it is the Registry?  Thanks, Steve   Hello Steve! If you only have two computers, why don't you just unjoin the home group and start over??

[year+ old attachment deleted by admin]Hi Gary,  I have gone through that proceedure a couple of times on both machines.  I did check the Registry and deleted the STEVE-GW and change two other
entries to Steve-GW.  Still can't get them to connect.  The Gateway shows up in my Network on the Sony, but no luck connecting.  Thanks for replying.  SteveTry proper file sharing instead of homegroup? PERSONALLY homegroup drives me mad...

If you want to change the computer name click start, right-click on Computer and choose Properties. Then choose Change SETTINGS on the right hand side, yellow and blue shield next to it. I assume you can CONTINUE from there. Quote

I have win 7 32 bit on my OLD COMPUTER and win 7 64 bit on my NEW computer. Can I USE the window transfer program to transfer all my FILES and will they work on 64 bitWhat type of "files" are we talking about? In general, the answer will be yes. If you're talking about 32 bit programs they should also work for the most part.

My question is that I can see my files. I posted in another thread about how I got my files back. Thats not the problem. The problem is that there are so many folders that say "backup zip files" that I dont know whats in them. If I try to look for a video or document, I cant find it because I wouldnt know where to start looking, Is there an easier way I can go through my folders and find what Im looking for, instead of SPENDING mins. and maybe hrs. goint through each "backup zip files"?Use the search option filter. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Advanced-tips-for-searching-in-WindowsWhen I clicked on the link, I tried what was on the link and it didnt work. It says that its fairly easy but not for me. I am not a computer whiz when it comes to a computer.  I think if I need anything, I'll go through each folder/file to find it. Quote

Ive thought of running the hP recovery partition but the bar indicating the amount of storage used is coloured red were it is normally blue.
Thanks for any help jhaddIf the process of "going back to an earlier time" was executed through the "system restore points" the data should not have been lost. So  i am suspicious that that was the actual process used. However to ASSIST you to try and determine what was done and possibly retrieve the personal data i am linking to a SITE that details the "restore points" process when done correctly and also tells you how to come forward with the recovery.

If after reading the article and perhaps trying the process related you have further QUESTIONS please come back,truenorthThe PC will not "revert to an earlier" time without User intervention...it simply doesn't happen that way...

Tell your friend they need to explain what exactly they have done so you can take the proper corrective steps.

I run into this fixing people's PC's all the time and they say "it just happened"...i take the approach if you can't say what's been done ask someone else to assist in fixing it...normally right about then they explain what transpired.

Never MIND the RAM comment...i misread...

Best of Luck.Ive run the recovery partition on this computer i backed the files up to an external hard disk.
There are to folders in the backup files on the external hard disk, i click on one it started to look for files then came up with an error message and STOPPED searching for files when i click on it again nothing happens.
I click on the  second one i get the message unable to open FWB files apparently this is a Hewlet Packard extension ive looked on their site without any succes.
Thanks for any help jhaddThe FWB file type is primarily associated with 'FileWrangler' by CursorArts Company.

If it does, the problem lies within Windows, not the drive. Quote from: flutie715 on September 14, 2009, 09:50:05 PM

Optical drives haven't required Drivers since WinME...you can safely ignore the above advice.

I am trying to GET information for my friend. He has just RECENTLY PURCHASED a computer and is now taking college courses. In his writing class, when typing paragraphs, he has to double space them. When he hits the enter button twice to double space the next line, the first word of the next sentence automatically capitalizes after he hits the space bar in the next line. Can you please help us to correct this.I would guess that whatever program he is typing in is set to automatically capitalize the first letter of each paragraph.  For example, OpenOffice has the ability to automatically capitalize the first letter of each sentence.

The program should have a setting to disable that feature.
What program is he using; Microsoft Word?I think microsoft word or office 12 or something. I'm not sure. ThanksHere is are some instructions for how to disable the Microsoft Word AutoFormat feature.  [Link]Stop using double space. Don't hit enter twice.
Do your work normally. Save it. Later when ready activate double space before you print or export your document.
http://geek9pm.com/pix/line_space.pngOk one THING that needs to be said... Can you tell us what it is you or said friend is using to type this.. before we all speculate. Is it word? Wordworks? notepad? wordpad? Let's be specific here people.Well it's a word processor program, like OpenOffice or word- Notepad doesn't auto-capitalize, you see.

And whatever the program, it will surely have a double-spacing option.Word and OpenOffice both have an automatic function to put in double spacing. For Word, it's in the 'Paragraph' MENU option (pre-2007)(one of the top menus, don't recall which one). For 2007, it's on the 'Home' tab, 'Paragraph' section, right next to the alignment buttons.

In any version, you can set exactly how much spacing you want between the lines. Default for Office 2007 (and might be for previous versions, don't remember) is 1.15 spacing. When using this feature, you don't need to press enter to double space and it won't capitalize every first letter of every line. Just type normally and it will double space as you go. No need to edit any autoformat settings or anything else.quaxo,
Thanks, that is want I wanted to say.  Quote
