Solve : $2000 *censored*-PLEASE HELP?

Answer» <html><body><p>OK, so I am <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/newbie-1117061" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about NEWBIE">NEWBIE</a> and first I just want to thank everybody for forums like this. I was just about to toss this computer at the wall. <br/><br/>My problem is this computer is soooooo soooooo slow. Belive it or not it is barely year old. The place were I am buying the laptop from told me to bring it in and they will do something called "SYSTEM RESTORE".They said that I will <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/lose-537625" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about LOSE">LOSE</a> everything, because they will make it so it is like the computer is coming out of the box for the first time. So my first question is how do I save my pictures, music, microsoft office and all of the other programs I have added to my computer? The second question is, will I lose Norton Anti Virus? or is that safe during a system restore?<br/><br/>Now as I said before I told the guys that my laptop is running slow and they said they are going to do a SYSTEM RESTORE, is this something you would suggest be the fixer for a slow, freezing pain in the a** laptop? if not what do you suggest I do?<br/><br/>Here is my System Properties<br/>Dell<br/>Inspiron 1501<br/>Windows Vista Basic<br/>Mobile AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 3500+ 1.80 GHz<br/>446 MB<br/>32-bit Operating System<br/><br/>My Computer Rating is a 2.0 which is determine by the lowest subscore<br/>3.7 for the Processor<br/>2.0 for the <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/memory-11894" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about MEMORY">MEMORY</a> Operation Per Second<br/>3.5 for the <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/desktop-949558" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about DESKTOP">DESKTOP</a> performance for Windows Aero<br/>3.1 for the 3D business and gaming graphics performance<br/>4.6 for the Disk data transfer rate<br/><br/>Here is my other problem. I would like to uninstall WINDOWS VISTA and install WINDOWS XP. Would this fix some of my problems? <br/><br/>I just need some advice please on what to do. Quote</p><blockquote>The second question is, will I lose Norton Anti Virus?</blockquote> <br/>You will want to be rid of Norton Anti-Virus.  It uses a lot of system resources, and is most likely a small part of why your system is running so slow.  There are alternative anti-virus programs that are resource-lean.Thank you for your response Aegis.<br/><br/>I think I am stuck with Norton for 234 more days. Do you have any suggestions for anti-virus programs that are resource-lean?<br/>Norton is  a secondary problem.<br/>Your main problem is:<br/> Quote<blockquote>446 MB</blockquote> I'm assuming it's 448MB, not 446MB.<br/>You have only 512MB of RAM, from which your on-board video takes away 64MB.<br/>Vista needs 2GB of RAM to run properly.Thanks Broni for responding to my problem.<br/><br/>When I click on "view basic Information about your computer"  under the memory(RAM) it has 446 MB.<br/><br/>So does this mean I have to uninstall Windows Vista and use Windows Xp? That is what somebody told me<br/><br/>All you need is more RAM. Go to <a href="http://www.crucial.com">www.crucial.com</a>, enter your computer make, and model, and it'll tell you what you can get.<br/>Most likely, you'll get 2GB of RAM for around $50. <br/>Going back to XP is too much trouble, and 512MB for XP is barely enough, anyway.in response to getting rid of norton... <br/><br/>get avast or avg antivirus, they have freeware versions which simply gives you only basic virus protection with the automatic daily updates. Uses less resources and does job <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/fine-248571" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about FINE">FINE</a>. As always, they're always updating their virus databases at least once a day so don't worry about it not having good detection rates.</body></html>

Solve : Vista User Accounts?

Answer» <html><body><p>Hello everybody,<br/><br/>I have some questions about creating accounts in <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/windows-22662" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about WINDOWS">WINDOWS</a>, in Vista in particular.  I have never created user accounts in Windows before and so some of my questions might be a bit basic.  My problem is that I have a single administrator account which is the account I use daily and no other accounts.  What I want is an additional account that is either a standandard or a guest account.  I need this because a friend's son likes to play online games on my computer and I don't want him accidently deleting a file or installing a virus or anything like that.  I turned on the guest account feature in Vista and ran into a few problems.  It seems that none of the software that I installed via the administrator account is available here.  They are available in that you can click on the icon but nothing comes up.  While this is totally fine from my point of view this makes me think of two problems:<br/><br/>1. If a game is a Java game and even if I have Java installed does this mean that my friend's son won't be able to play it?<br/>2. Even though I have zone alarm installed does this mean that the guest account won't be protected by it?<br/><br/>Furthermore, I actually went to a site I know he goes to and found that the games there are Flash games.  However, I was able to play them with my administrator account by not theguest account.  This leads me to more questions:<br/><br/>3. How do I allow the guest account to play these Flash games in the safest way?<br/>4. Would I be <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/better-895998" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about BETTER">BETTER</a> off with a <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/standard-246169" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about STANDARD">STANDARD</a> account for him?<br/>5. If the answer to <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/question-25051" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about QUESTION">QUESTION</a> 5 is yes then how do I configure that in the safest way?<br/><br/>Any <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/help-239643" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about HELP">HELP</a> would be most appreciated,<br/><br/>Thanks<br/><br/>Sachin</p></body></html>

Did this new build ever run ? ?<br/>Are you sure the MBoard drivers are the correct ones ? ?<br/>Have you tried the drivers on the CD that shipped with the board ? ?The new build runs fine - apart from the restart problem.<br/>I'm pretty sure the drivers are right - went to the Asus support page, found my mobo model, downloaded drivers.<br/>The CD was intended for XP .<br/><br/>However I haven't updated the BIOS or downloaded something called ATK ACPI utility and my modem drivers are not up to date but that's all I can think of. Can you <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/boot-251147" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about BOOT">BOOT</a> into Safe Mode without any problems?<br/><br/>Have you tried running your build with XP instead of Vista?  I'm no hardware expert, but there could be a compatibility issue.I have not tried running in safe mode and restarting. Additionally I don't have an XP disk, all I had with my old computer was well I made a recovery disk.Aside from reformatting, the only suggestion I can think of is to check <strong>all</strong> of your hardware drivers and bring them up to date.  And perhaps list all of your hardware (Everest can make this a bit easier for you) and maybe someone can <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/verify-1728440" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about VERIFY">VERIFY</a> whether or not there are any compatibility issues.  Like I said, I'm not a hardware expert (my specialty is malware and software), so my knowledge in the area only extends so far.  If you hadn't PM'ed me, I probably wouldn't have even bothered.  Heh.</p></body></html>

Solve : Vista doesn't recognize all memory?

Answer» <html><body><p>I just installed 2 Gb of RAM in my computer, for a total of 4Gb. Vista's system check says 1928, how come? The bios says 4 Gbs?? I guess everyone is flat ignorant about this, rightThat's the way to get people to answer you     insult them.  How often does that work for you?32 bit Vista cannot use all of 4 GB, even though the BIOS sees it. Upgrade to 64 bit Vista if your CPU is 64 bit, otherwise you spent money on RAM you cannot use.<br/><br/> Quote</p><blockquote>I guess everyone is flat ignorant about this</blockquote> Check <a href="https://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/">HERE</a>  It really gets frustrating waiting all day and getting nothing. Thanks Broni, I have a BS in psychology already.<br/>So, I have two Gb of high dollar ram that my system wont even utilize? And if I upgrade to 64 bit, alot of programs wont run 64 yet, right? Oh yeah...Hejlik, you are wrong about Vista not using but 2 Gb. I just talked with a software specialist and he said Vista could use whatever the MB supports for 32bit. Caan't believe Broni let you get away with that, and every other cheese head that read it. That why people get frustrated here. <br/><br/>Look Here <a href="https://support.microsoft.com/kb/946003/">http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946003/</a> Your "software specialist" is an idiot.<br/>Take it from a memory specialist.<br/><a href="http://www.crucial.com/kb/answer.aspx?qid=4251">http://www.crucial.com/kb/answer.aspx?qid=4251</a><br/><br/>Or try Googling it perhaps... there are loads of sites confirming that any 32 bit OS will not be able to utilize 4 GB of RAM. It is a 32 bit architecture limitation not a Vista issue.<br/><br/>But I would say that Vista should be able to detect more than 2 GB under normal circumstances.

What would the computer companies sell machines with over 2 gb of ram on gaming machines?<br/>As for my demeanor...such tender little duckies here 1. you've never mentioned you had SP1 installed. (Many users still don't).<br/>2. It doesn't change anything. Vista still can't use 4 GB of Ram, it just reports 4 GB.<br/> Quote<blockquote>This change <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/occurs-1127848" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about OCCURS">OCCURS</a> because Windows Vista with SP1 reports how much physical memory installed on your computer.

Why do they put in there if it does use it?? Why would MS make an OS upgrade that will not use more than 2 Gb of Ram, it  just doesn't amke sense. Are you kidding me?<br/><em>From Crucial</em><br/> Quote<blockquote>For instance, when you install 4GB of memory in a 32-bit Windows system (the most common version; 64-bit systems are typically used only by high-end users), your system will see (and utilize) only 3GB or 3.5GB. Is the problem bad memory?</blockquote> <br/><em>From Microsoft</em><br/> Quote<blockquote>On computers that have a 32-bit operating system, more than 3 GB of system memory, and with a version of Windows that is earlier than Windows Vista SP1, users will see a larger difference in how much memory is reported as available to the operating system compared to how much physical memory is installed.

Solve : Reinstall WMP11 on Vista?

Answer» <html><body><p>I am having problems reinstalling WMP11 on Vista, WMP11 comes with Vista, and is loosely intergraded with it, and therefor, cannot be installed.

Quote from: Broni on January 05, 2008, 06:46:45 PM</p><blockquote>Did you crosscheck with VLC, if it'll play?<br/></blockquote> <br/>Its not specifically video, nothing in the Now Playing area works, enhancements window, album art, visualization, URGE or Rhapsody information, etc<br/>Did it just happen? Any new stuff on your computer? Quote from: Broni on January 05, 2008, 07:12:15 PM<blockquote>Did it just happen? Any new stuff on your computer?<br/></blockquote> Just happened, I did run sfc /scannow, it did fine a file <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/corrupted-2548793" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CORRUPTED">CORRUPTED</a>, but that was fixed automatically...<br/>I do not recall exactly when it happened, I just noticed that my sound was no longer auto-adjusting, and that my audio was not overlapping, and I figured that I never got to setting up the options to do that... and I was unable to, since it requires the Now Playing thing to be working. Did you try System Restore? Quote from: Broni on January 05, 2008, 07:41:03 PM<blockquote>Did you try System Restore?<br/></blockquote> I think the issue happened way too far back... it just took me too long to notice.

Quote from: Broni on January 06, 2008, 08:30:51 PM<blockquote>Hey, maybe it's something about SP1 (beta)?<br/></blockquote> I was just thinking about that earlier today<br/>I honestly have no idea, I could uninstall SP1, but it would take a long time, and I am not sure how "safe" it is to do that after having run it for a whileYeah, I don't mind trying betas of regular programs, but for the OS, I'd never do it on my main computer.<br/>Didn't you create any backup before installing SP1?

Maybe it's not SP1. It was just my guess.Okay, I recently uninstalled SP1 for Vista (since the real release is out now... I am upgrading to that)<br/><br/>I figured out the problem:<br/><br/>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer <br/>Has the incorrect permission settings.
