I have a hp pavillion mc 8400f nd i wona upgrade it to 4gb ram but when i put 4gb ram IN it shows only 3gb RAM
thats because you are using a 32 bit OS. this type of OS can only recongize up to 3.8 gb of ram. this is normal. for more info, i know wikipedia has a great articile on it.





hope this helps
I have a hp pavillion mc 8400f nd i wona upgrade it to 4gb ram but when i put 4gb ram IN it shows only 3gb RAM
32 bit OS = max of 3.8 GB of ram, it's just a limit for that type of Operating System, if you want to use more you would have to use a 64 bit OS (some versions of Linux, Windows XP 64bit edition, Vista 64bit edition, etc...)


like the guy said, check wikipedia for a great article on that stuff
Reply:Install Vista Service pack 1, it will solve ur problem.

Both OSs are designed to work with multiple OSs. Install one, then the other. The load screen will then reflect that both OSs are available and bootable. You might check www.microsoft.com to see the latest Microsoft recommendations for the use of multiple OSs and for any changes in the latest patches of the OSs.


What hardware component of a computer?

When openning .exe file or executing programs in my computer it ussually takes about 10 sec to execute.what hardware component increases the speed of the execution?

well its got to be ram....
Reply:Yeah try your RAM first
Reply:sounds like your hard drive is gettin full of programs and other crap.


try defragging your C:/ before anything else





also, make sure you are running your exe's (mostly installs, right?) in your C:/ drive, and not something slow like a USB or SD drive
Reply:running them from your main hard-drive would increase the speed as well as defragmenting it (if you are running windows that is)


other wise you could shell out to physically upgrade your computer, more RAM will speed things up as well as a faster processor.


could just be that you are running multiple programs at one. try closing the ones you don't need at that time.
Reply:Simple answer: Your procesor actualy executes the .exe





Better Answer: Your whole computer, depending on what the process does.





I'm just gonna assume a windows environment, otherwise your a computer geek and can figure out the differences on your own anyway.





Applicable Answer: If you mean you wait about 10 secs for it to run it, chances are your having issues with memory and pageing space. The #1 culprit would tend to be Windows with it's poor memory/page file managment. Culprit #2 would tend to be Memory itself. (RAM) #3 is your Hard drive. Faster access to your harddrive (like SATA) can greatly help with page file waiting.





Check 1: If you run a program, then exit it and run it again, will it sometimes load more quickly?


This is usualy because windows has already set aside the necessary space in memory.





Check 2: Does it take a long time to minimize a program and switch back and forth between the desktop? This is mostly with fullscreen programs


This is usualy because Windows is paging to make room in main memory for watever your switching to.





Check 3: did your computer run faster before? This is usualy because one or more of all those usless background programs, commonly with poor programing, is interfering with normal system operation.





Try: Defrag HDD to get faster access rates. Both for page file and for program rescources. If you don't know how to do that you shouldn't be taking your computer apart either.





Try: Turn off most of the usless crap thats started running in the backround by runing sysconfig in the run box. Under the startup and services tabs, hide the microsoft items and turn off everything, then go back through and recheck anything that you recognize anything associated with something you want. (like ATI stuf if u got a ATI video card)





Try: Fresh reinstall of OS. Piticularly with a faster stabler OS like XP Home/Linux instead of XP Media Center Edition/Windows ME





Try: Get more memory, its cheap latey.


Try: SATA Drive, make sure ur motherboard supports it first.

(COPY THIS AT ONCE, OR YAHOO WILL DELETE IT.)


Dear Sirs,


S.O.S. I need your help.


I am in danger, please save me.


I want to disclose the crimes in US.


Help me transfer the Complaint to the prosecutors in any state, and save me to USA at once.


Help me transfer the Complaint to the voluntary lawyers in any state, especially in NY. I hereby certificate that any voluntary attorney commissioned is legal and according to my will. (If the lawyers want charges, please let them contact me in Taiwan. Now my address in Taiwan is: 2F, No 25, Alley 23, Lane 126, Liu-Chang St., San-Choung City, Taipei Hsien, Taiwan)


Help me disclose the Complaint to human-right organizations and Presses. Help me disclose the Complaint on the internet for all webfriends know. If Yahoo or Google blocks you, accuse them and make a claim. Bush will block it by all means including lobby the prosecutors and Presses. Just launch the internet war to disclose him.


Now I am in monitoring and in danger, they debar me to go to USA to accuse them. Please save me to USA as soon as possible.


On your assistance, I will appreciate your kindness.


Yours sincerely,





Kun-Long Wu


(The Leader of Kwan Jin)


NOTE:


Taiwan government will pretend to be me to cancel the Help and the Complaint. Don鈥檛 be cheated. Unless I show up in the court, any indication of canceling the Complaint will be feigned. Just disclose and accuse them.





























Complaint


2008.06.12


The plaintiff:


Kun-Long Wu (the Leader of Kwan Jin)





The defendants:


1. President George W. Bush


2. the Ambassadors or Consul Generals in Japan, Malaysia, China (Beijing %26amp; Guangzhou), Hong Kong, Taiwan, above worked in 2003-2004.


3. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton


4. Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates


5. Yahoo Chairman Terry Semel


6. Taiwan President Mr. Ma, former President Mr. Chen and Cheng Hsiung Lu (Mr. Lu is a Taiwan official, a Taiwanese of USA nationality. A similar spelling, need to check the accurate English name.)


7. Raymond F. Burghardt and Stephen M. Young (Now AIT Chairman and Director)





The facts: (The corpus delicti)


I鈥檓 Kun-Long Wu (Lon Wu), the leader of the religious group Kwan Jin established in US and renowned in the world. But now a fake me is controlling the Kwan Jin in US more than 5 years. Taiwan President persecuted me and assumed my name with the intent to control the Kwan Jin and to cheat all believers in the world. I鈥檝e suffered from the religious persecution and human-right persecution below,


1. Personal monitor and murder menace


2. Income blockade


3. House search more than 50 times


4. Internet monitor %26amp; blockade


5. E-mail monitor %26amp; blockade


6. Mail monitor %26amp; blockade


7. All communications monitor %26amp; blockade include telephone, mobile phone and fax


8. Human-right persecution


9. Religious persecution


10. Political persecution


11. Law persecution





I had submitted a Political Asylum Application to the Embassies or Consul Generals in Japan, Malaysia, China (Beijing %26amp; Guangzhou), Hong Kong, Taiwan in 2003-2004. By myself I faced to the official to apply the Political Asylum in Hong Kong, they rejected me only by no reason, and also rejected to give me a formal denial-document. Now I want to accuse the U.S. Consul General in Hong Kong . He was against the US law to be lobbied illegally by Taiwan government.





I want to accuse Therese Shaheen and Douglas Paal, the Chairman and the Director of AIT (the American Institute in Taiwan, the US Consulate-Representative in Taiwan) against the law. By myself I applied to AIT for the Political Asylum in 2004. But AIT had no interview or response for me. The AIT Chairman and Director were lobbied illegally by Taiwan government.





I want to accuse the Ambassadors or Consul Generals in Japan, Malaysia, China (Beijing %26amp; Guangzhou) against the law. I faxed the Political Asylum applications to Japan, Malaysia, China (Beijing %26amp; Guangzhou), furthermore I faxed and e-mailed to White House many times in 2003-2004. But all no response.





They all committed crimes. They were all lobbied illegally by Taiwan government. They all knew I鈥檓 already a USA national with the USA passport. I acted as a Taiwanese to ask help for them calculatedly though. They were all against the US law. The criminal chief was President Bush. Here I accuse them to contravene the US constitution, to offend against the US law, to seriously commit human-right persecutions.


For what reasons did President Bush do that so? For money? For political reasons? Or for other reasons?





I鈥檝e perceived more than 15 billion deposits of Kwan Jin %26amp; me was occupied by Taiwan government. Taiwan government used my name to make conversion. A lot of money was transferred to Taiwan or other countries. I will accuse Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton because she was cooperated with Taiwan government. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and Taiwan government used my name to control the Kwan Jin and occupied my assets and donations. The intermediator is Cheng Hsiung Lu. President Bush, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Taiwan President and Cheng Hsiung Lu committed crimes.





I want to accuse Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates. Bill helped Taiwan government to persecute me in all over the world. I鈥檝e used the MSN hotmail as my e-mails registered in USA. At first, MSN betrayed all my e-mail passwords to Taiwan government for controlling my e-mails. Though I鈥檝e changed passwords of all my e-mails constantly, MSN still betrayed to them. Furthermore, they were through the MSN mail hosts to overall control my all e-mails. They blocked/deleted/faked my e-mails including many help-letters for Presses. MSN blocked my e-mails in Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, Canada, S. Korea, and USA from 2003 to now. Now MSN blocks me the same whatever I鈥榤 in any country. Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates committed crimes.





I want to accuse Yahoo Chairman Terry Semel. Terry helped Taiwan government to persecute me in all over the world as well as Bill. Yahoo blocked all news related me and Kwan Jin in all over the world. I can鈥檛 and I couldn鈥檛 find any news about me and Kwan Jin through the webs. The same as MSN, Yahoo blocked my all news in Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, Canada, S. Korea, and USA from 2003 to now. Now Yahoo blocks me the same whatever I鈥榤 in any country. All news related Kwan Jin were produced by a fake me or Hillary in US. Yahoo Chairman Terry Semel committed crimes.





I want to accuse now AIT Chairman Raymond F. Burghardt and AIT Director Stephen M. Young. They were lobbied illegally by Taiwan government to reject to accept my documents for help just in year 2007. They were against their consulate-representative responsibility and committed crimes.





Taiwan government has wiped out all evidences through more than 50-time house searches. Though all fake news or data on the webs were deleted or modified; now I still want to accuse them here. I appeal,


1. Force White House Save me to US to assist the investigation immediately.


2. To investigate all their crimes completely.


3. To attach all Taiwan government deposits in USA immediately.


4. To check and attach accounts of Bush, Hillary, Taiwan President and their families in US, Cheng Hsiung Lu鈥檚 family in US, however accounts already cancelled.


5. To check all my name and Kwan Jin鈥檚 accounts in US, however accounts already cancelled by someone.





For human rights are priceless, there shouldn鈥檛 be occurred that so in USA. I appeal,


1. Bush should be to sentence to imprison all life, and should be claimed 10 billion dollars plus 10-time salaries for 6 years from 2003 to now.


2. Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates should be to sentence heavy penalty, and should be claimed 10 billion dollars plus Microsoft 6-year earnings from 2003 to now.


3. Yahoo Chairman Terry Semel should be to sentence heavy penalty, and should be claimed 20 billion dollars plus 2x Yahoo 6-year earnings from 2003 to now.


4. Hillary Rodham Clinton should be to sentence heavy penalty, and should be claimed 10 billion dollars plus 10-time salaries for 6 years from 2003 to now.


5. The related Ambassadors or Consul Generals or officials-representative should be to sentence heavy penalty, and should be claimed 10-time salaries for 5 years from 2004 to now.


6. Taiwan President and Cheng Hsiung Lu should be to sentence heavy penalty, and should be claimed 10 billion dollars plus 10-time incomes for 6 years from 2003 to now.


7. AIT Chairman Raymond F. Burghardt and AIT Director Stephen M. Young should be to sentence heavy penalty, and should be claimed 20-time salaries for 2 year2 from 2007 to now.


(AIT Chairman Raymond F. Burghardt, Director Stephen M. Young and Yahoo should be raised double claims, because I鈥檝e endeavored to discuss with them two many times. They all denied my request. )





Complaint above,

Bought new pc desktop but having problems.please help?
well.. this isn't a very big problem


the thing u hav to do is that u have to get all input as well as out put devices of your computer configured ...


if you have the windows CD the insert it before your P.C. boots-up. The installation will automatically start and your P.C. will run normally as your older one...
Reply:Must be a monitor problem. Are you sure it is plugged in correctly? Is the power cord plugged in? Make sure you check those first. If everything is plugged in and turned on then I would suggest getting a new monitor cable. You can get one for about $15 at Wal-Mart or Circuit City. If that doesn't help then it's probably a problem with the video card in the PC and you should take it back or call the service number.
Reply:I had a similar problem and couldn't seem to rectify it. I then realised that my monitor was plugged into the onboard graphics and not the separate graphics card. Have a look on the back of your PC and see if there is another socket the same shape as the one your monitor is already plugged into, and try swapping it. Might just work.
Reply:its been set up for networking,,,in control panel delete the network and u should have no further problems


its telling u there is no signal from the network
Reply:Sometimes also, you have to start and restart several times before the system can configure to a new monitor, if that and the cd idea don't work, call the call center on your warranty card and just hope they speak English.

My laptop keys have become loose after i hoverd them what can i do?
Haha glad I'm not the only one to hoover my laptop!! My keys came off but they click back on so make sure they aren't just loose and need a proper click back on.
My laptop keys have become loose after i hoverd them what can i do?
Piece 1. the key that you actually tap Piece 2. a white/clear plastic piece Piece 3. a smaller white/clear plastic piece





To put the key back do the following: -





a. orientate piece 2 with the slightly wider part (wider in terms of wider end pieces) to the bottom and the face with the slightly portruding female holders that are halfway down the piece away from you (towards the keyboard)





b. clip the male edges of piece 3 into the female holders of piece 2. however make sure that the narrow end of piece 3 is through the hole of piece 2 and pointing towards the keyboard. to get both inserts in, put one in first and then slightly squeeze piece 2 around the middle to create space for the second insert to pop in





c. now that piceces 2 and 3 are joined it's time to put this onto the keyboard. the small loop end of piece 3 that is through the hole of piece 2 needs to be looped onto the end of the topmost metal clip on the keyboard. clip it in and slightly move it down into position





d. not all you have to do is put the key on. if you have done the other steps correctly it will just clip on. orientate it the right way and use the adjacent keys as a position guide and press down. it will clip onto the other two pieces if you have done steps a to c correctly. if it doesn't repeat steps a to c

Can a laptop have the ability to change the video display/card?

you can however ad more RAM to the laptop and allow the video card to access more RAM memory from the BIOS

Is your keyboard working when the mouse freezes.


If it does, you have either a problem with your port or your mouse.





If the whole system freezes you most likely have a hardware problem (memeory or motherboard)

Do you always need to format your external hard drive when you buy it for the first time?

I recently bought a 160 GB simpletech external hard drive and i backed up data on the drive without formatting it. One thing which really surprised me was that when i tried using it with Mac, the mac wasn't able to read it giving an error, mind you that the MAC was the latest G5 machine, i had no problems with the PC though, but now i am wondering should i format the data and back up all over again coz its a pretty tedious process. Please help.
Do you always need to format your external hard drive when you buy it for the first time?
I think mac uses FAT file system, where as windows uses NTFS. Windows will also be able to use the FAT/FAT32 formats, so reformat the disk and copy the info over again and then see if your computer can read it. I would recommend formatting it on the mac, because the pc can read it after the mac formats, but not always the other way around.
Do you always need to format your external hard drive when you buy it for the first time?
All new HD's are unformatted, your best bet is download a Win 98 Boot disk from allbootdisks.com to partition the drive then format it via your OS
Reply:yes formaating is safer thing to do with a new hard disk
Reply:No, its not "always" necessary. I have seen brand new drives that have been factory formatted so they work "on the fly." However, when I have purchased such before, I have intentionally deleted the partition and reformatted again using my current O/S. Like you said, there was an error, but it wasn't reading it...that is exactly why I reformat anyway...just in case the factory formatting failed to recognize disk errors.
Reply:No, some come pre-formatted NTFS, like my Calvary USB drives (which are really a set of two 500Gb WD drives set up JBOD.





There are some disks however that need to be formatted. When you get one of them, always use the format function, not quick format...the extra time spent can result in a whole lot of time saving later on.


What size hard drive enclosure should I have?

I have a hard drive with a width of 4". I neither need a 3.5" enclosure or a 5.25" enclosure and I don't know which. I sort of feel stupid even asking this question just because it seems sort of obvious that I should pick the next size up, being 5.25", but the dimensions on a 3.5" enclosure I'm looking at says it's width is 4.24". So, very confused. Help? :D?
What size hard drive enclosure should I have?
You probably need a 3.5" enclosure. Most hard drives that come form a normal computer use this size.





If you had a laptop hard drive, it would be 2.5".
What size hard drive enclosure should I have?
I don't trust the enclosure width 4.24" is very weird; I would go for 5.25" and simply have brackets to mount it up.
Reply:ok i guess i'm a little confused with your measurements of your HD.


if you got the HD out of a desktop you probably will use a 3.5" enclosure


if you got it from a laptop, then you will be using a 2.5"


the 5.25" will typically have mounting holes for 3.5" built in


another question is would be what connectors do you use PATA or SATA? those will also help you find the right enclosure.
Reply:Get the 3.5" enclosure. The 3.5 doesn't refer to the external dimensions of the drive. They are really 4 inches wide.





I always THOUGHT that the disk inside (what I used to refer to as "the platter" years and many more inches ago) was 3.5 inches in diameter. It's not on current drives. (Though the early ones may well have been only 3.5 inches, inside a 4" box. The external dimensions had to stay the same but the platters would have grown as much as possible with that 4 inch box.) I just now checked inside an old 6GB drive that died recently. It's platter(s) are 9.5 cm or about 3.75 inches in diameter.





Anyway a "3.5 inch" enclosure is the correct choice. Get a SATA 2 one (or, if you have an older IDE 3.5" drive look for an enclosure that supports both). The last SATA 2 enclosure I bought had external connectors for both USB2 and eSATA.


Some machines now come standard with connectors that accept eSATA (External SATA) connections with external drives. The flexibility of dual USB2 and eSATA connection options means your external enclosure would continue to useful until the day it finally dies.





Have fun.
Reply:Most hard disk should have brand sticker on it. Find out whats the brand and model number. Do a yahoo or google search.





The model number should be able to tell you what is the size, capacity and type of connection (ie IDE or SATA).





Happy searching! cheers!

My computer is not able to hibernate?

earlier the hibernate was working well . but recently it started saying ' not enough system resources to complete the API'


talking of system resources:


my system has 2gb ram


this problem is likely to occur when no free disk space is available but it has atleast 200 gb free space
My computer is not able to hibernate?
maybe its not winter
My computer is not able to hibernate?
Are you using Windows XP?





Here's Microsoft's response to the problem: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=90909...
Reply:You are probably running too many programs at once. Try closing some programs. If you have closed them all then check if there is anything running in the background. Press ctrl+alt+delete and bring up the task manager. In the bottom of the window you should see CPU Usage followed by a number and a %. If it is a high number (50% or above) then you have too many processes running in the background. Click the processes tab and end task for all processes except for systray and explorer.exe and ones being run by the system. Only end ones that are being run by your user name. This should free up some resources. Hope this helps.
Reply:The hibernation file size is equal to the amount of RAM you have installed. 2G of RAM requires 2G of hard drive space, so if your disk free space drops below 2G then it can't hibernate.


Vista wont boot. says Ctrl+alt+del to restart..Help!!!?

Hello, I am new so please speak like you would to a cave woman. I have vista ultimate on my laptop.Its a hp pavillion dv600. I was running tune up utilities and pressed ok to compress c.drive. I stopped it as soon as i saw I had hit the button and cancelled it. Then when it restarted it says BOOTMGR is compressed Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart..I do and it doesn't restart. It says Intel (r) Boot Agent FE V4.1.18 Copyright 1997-2005 Intel corporation


and then the ctrl+alt+del to restart..I went into the Phenoix bios and tried restoring defaults by hitting F10 like it says at the screen on the bottom left when the HP screen comes up for a min.I changed it to stay up for 5 sec cause it was just flashing. It also gives a option to push esc to change boot and F12 to boot from Lan. i dont know what to do please help..thanksI also Have a desktop running windows crystal .Idk my bro sets it all up but he is MIA..If the F12 option that says boot from Lan is something I can use? How?
Vista wont boot. says Ctrl+alt+del to restart..Help!!!?
Duh.... you screwed up the boot sequence software. When using a computer, keeping your head out of your hindie should be your main priority. Look twice, push once.





The operating system needs to be repaired. Playing with the bios, looking for the "any" key, cleaning the screen, reseating the memory, etc. won't help. Find someone that KNOWS how to make the repair and get it repaired. All else is folly.
Vista wont boot. says Ctrl+alt+del to restart..Help!!!?
Try to reboot your laptop and while rebooting press F8. You will have a screen showing different options. Select Start Windows from last known working configuration.





I hope it helps with your problem.

Reply:it is safe as long as ur saving ur documents periodically, but if u get a power outage technically it could mess up ur PC but there's a good chance it won't.
Reply:Not exactly. Keep saving and hope for the best. You do still have voltage surge protection don't you? If not, you could lose all your saved data also.
Reply:No. definitely not.


when the computer shuts off by itself too often, it will crash.


also, if u do not have a trip switch, in case of sudden voltage it will permanently damage the system.
Reply:Switchboard for an electricity circuit? What's that? Only IBM PCs up to ancient 286 is so well graded to plug directly to a wall socket; anything else doing that you risk zapping it to death. A computer-graded Power Strip is enough to shield the computer from being electrocuted 1 or 2 times.
Reply:Unless you have anything REALLY important then a UPS isn't necessary. However, if you are saving important things such as files for work, homework for school, etc. then I would recommend getting a UPS. Of course, as long as you remember to save your work frequently a UPS isn't something you would necessarily need to have.
Reply:there is no problem but your computer will be switched off on its own when the power goes on. it maydamage your computer in long run!!!
Reply:depends on your location power supply reliability. if there are brownouts and blackouts often, then it is better to have UPS.





UPS is also used to manage power spikes (power surges) which can damage sensitive electrical equipment like PCs. so if your area is prone to power surges or maybe lightning strike effects, not having a UPS can result in a fried PC (a power surge can burn out your PC power supply, motherboard, and other stuff on the motherboard like the CPU, memory, add-on cards, harddisk and cdrom drives.





but in your situation of a faulty UPS, if its just power surges you have to be careful about, buying a power surge protector device can be a quick workaround (not a permanent solution, you would still prefer a working UPS) for protecting your PC.
Reply:No - your data may not be recovered later as it will be not saved after power failure %26amp; many more things to follow.
Reply:No, please don't use your computer without UPS if there are powern fluctuations. I was in similar situation, in fact no power fluctuation but socket was loose and comp used to get turned off suddenly. after few days my hard disc was dammaged and I had to buy new one.
Reply:UPS gives u enough time to shut down the PC properly when there is a power cut


u shd go for a UPS if a lot of power cut is observed at ur place


also UPS can save the PC's internal chips ans electronic circuits from Voltage fluctuations
Reply:IT IS SAFE TO USE COMPUTER WITHOUT UPS IF IN THE AREA WHERE YOU LIVE THERE IS LESS POWER CUT OFF, OTHERWISE IF THRE IS HIGH POWER CUT OF OR IRREGULAR VOLTAGE THEN I PREFER TO USE A UPS
Reply:UPS stands for uninterrupted power supply. it is not a component of your PC and is not essential to run a computer. however it provides a stable inflow of volt/current for your computer, PCs come with a built in facility(SMPS) to stabilize the input it gives off to its various components but its still a good idea to have one if you live in an area with a lot of voltage fluctuations. besides that the UPS also has a battery and serves as a power backup for your PC. when you have a power cut it would keep your PC alive for about 10 minutes, quite enough time to save your precious work. its not good for you pc to shut down suddenly with a power cut, it might corrupt your hard drive and may cause various software troubles too. shut down windows the way its suppposed to.


so i recomend having one. if yours is broken just get it repaired or just get a new one. its not expensive.
Reply:UPS is uninterrupted power supply.


It is just like inverter when light goes of your computer doesn't goes off suddenly it works normally on UPS. so you get time to save your data and switch off your computer with proper shutdown. It also act as stabilizer it stabilizes current in case of low or high voltage.





I also use UPS
Reply:UPS is Uninterupable Power Supply





It is used to keep your computer runningincase of a power failure





Basically if you don't have one and the power goes your computer will just lose power
Reply:Hey! Noddy.


Without UPS the problems will be, as follows......





1) When ever you are working with any document like serious work. if power goes off. The whole data will loose.if in case u dint save doc for time being.





2) Any component (Hardware) will get problem in your PC. if sudden abrupt in POWER off.





3) The Major Problem will be your Hard Disk. Reason behind this problem is BAD SECTORS will form in u r hard disk. sudden abrupt in power off.





So, Better i suggest u to use UPS point. and it gives Backup power if power goes off. u can off immediately. and it controls power fluctuations from high voltage in power.
Reply:No, you don't need a backup power supply unit (UPS). Like others have said, in case the electricity goes out, you may loose your data. Microsoft Office 2003 %26amp; 2007 has saved me more than once when the power has gone out...I don't know how it does, but it has a file recovery system that seems to work like magic. Anyway, what I do, is just have two or three surge protectors in line. I am more concerned when the electricity turns back on than when it shuts down.





You see, when the power company turns the power back on, the transformer nearest to your house or business is not able to react intantaneously, to give a clean, steady current. Instead, for a split second, there is an electrical spike which goes right across the transformer without being modulated, it's called an instantaneous peak, which literally, has an infinite current. It only exists for milliseconds, but it is enough to seriously damage your computer if you are not protected.





Most UPS also have surge protection, so you get the benefits of both a power outage backup and a power on surge. But seeing as how most of my work is not critical at home, I am not too concerned. However, I am very concerned with that power spike.





I buy surge protectors with the highest Joules rating available, they tend to be more expensive office types. I put them in series, plugging them one after the next, this is becuse the surge protection is additive. So if I have two surge protectors each rated 6000 joules, I have a total protection on the second series connected surge protector of 12000 Joules. A really good surge protector will have a fuse, but even fuses take "time" to burn out. In the world of milliseconds, an instantaneous surge can make it even across the fuse before the fuse burns out. The capacitors in the surge protector, soaks up most of the bad current, however, there can be enough to still damage a computer with a single surge protector of a high rating and a short fuse.


This is another reason why I series connect more than one surge protector...it has to go through the first surge protector and part of the surge is absorbed, reducing the damage potential on the spike. So what I do is put my non-expensive stuff on the first or second surge protectors, things like a desk lamp or cheap speakers. On the second surge protector, I plug in some other not so expensive equipment and finally on the third surge protector, I have my computer and most senstitive components plugged into that one.





It seems most people just buy any ole' surge protector, have no concept of Joule ratings and think a cheapo $5 surge protector for a toaster is going to be adequate, until they have a thunderstorm and a surge happens and their computer becomes toast!





So, if you are really interested in protecting sensitive data, critical work, irreplaceable memories or photo's...I think you ought to get a replacement for that UPS. If on the other hand, you are playing games, chatting on line, checking some emails and doodling on the computer where nothing is critical, I think surge protector(s) are adequate.
Reply:no its not safe because if power goes off then you will not be able to save your work. Secondly if there is any variation in voltage then your hard disk gets bad sectors developed on it which is a physical damage and your data is also lost. So UPS is must for your pc
Reply:absolutely yes. just remember to save your work at least every five minutes so you wont lose it once the electricity fluctuates.
Reply:Hi Boss


I would think the safest thing to do is replace the switch quite easy. I assume you are in the USA where things may be different than the UK. I had problems and used mains direct while I repaired UPS.


Good Luck


FOR THOSE WHO ARE ANSWERING UPS MEANS UNINTERRUPTED POWER SUPPLY. A BACKUP SYSTEM INCASE OF POWER FAILURE AND ANTI-SURGE.
Reply:Its very unsafe for the computer.The computer suddenly closes,in the middle of a run when hard disk is spinning at a high speed,exposing computer to damage and stopping the cooling fan and unsaved contents are lost and hard disk is exposed to crash risk

It depends on your personal like of risks. You can do it, and you can be fine doing it. However, if you get a surge, or power flicker or anything like that, you can not only risk losing your data, but frying your motherboard or other accessories...

New macbook?

Im a little pissed off. Ive had a macbook for two years, and just got a new one this morning.

Reply:The folder with the question mark means that there is a problem with booting up the operating system.

But, if you have a old laptop running os9 or lower, they may not help you out, for they do not manufacture the OS9 or lower OS's. Usualy companies will not support old products for they are to old and are no longer made, and cannot be fixed cause its not made anymore such as Windows 98.

I want to upgrade the RAM in my laptop from 1GB to 2GB, but not sure what one to buy?

i have a Compaq Presario C774tu. I did the scan at crucial.com, and it tells me i have two memory slots, one with a 1GB stick, and the other empty. It says that i dont have dual channel support, what does that mean?





Can i get another 1GB memory stick and put it in the empty slot? If so, does anyone know what brand/type of ram i should buy that will work with my computer? i know how to physically put the ram in, im just confused as how to find a ram stick that will work with my laptop,
I want to upgrade the RAM in my laptop from 1GB to 2GB, but not sure what one to buy?
that means that u'r processor doesn't support 2 ram , but u'r compaq laptop has 2 slots ,,,which doesn;t help in any way





so get a new processor which costs a lot !!!!!!





but still u can remove the 1 gb and get a new 2gb





u cant add a 1gb to the existing 1

I would prefer you get a kingston RAM Chip those are very durable and about the dual channel support im not really sure.
Reply:1. Your Motherboard does not support dual/quad core processing (very old comp i assume?) your processor is just single core.





Ram is easy to upgrade. search newegg.com for RAM (memory) for 1 stick of 1GB memory (since u already have 1gb in there) they are cheap. find the one with lowest Price and best reviews.





Since you dont know how comps really work I seriously advise you not to mess with your laptop RAM, as they require different sizes and are obviously much more difficult to access.
Reply:dual channel support is basically data can pass through 2 channels at a time, depends on what type of RAM ur system is compatible with, but the easiest way is to buy the same type of RAM that is already installed, and yes u can buy another 1 gig and put it into the extra slot
Reply:Just go to any computer stop or IT store and ask for new memory. You will have to let the store person do it for you, if you're a rookie. However, this is done inside the CPU, which you can find inside the panels on the underside of the laptop. Well, for God's sake don't open it, if you're new.
Reply:well you don't need to do worry of as you got windows vista it got the full support for external ram. I recommend you to use external ram through usb. That would be more convenient, fast and in budget. For more details on how can you attach external ram talk to your compaq cutomer care.

What type of microphones did you use for podcast recording?

is there any differenc in terms of quality between handheld mics, clip on mics and studio mic?
What type of microphones did you use for podcast recording?
Yes, there are some differences. I use a Radio Shack 33-300, which was about $20.00 I think, and anything in that price range should be fine. My co-host doesn't have very much experience and she tends to handle the mic, which adds a lot of noise that can't be removed if we are talking. So I give her a clip-on, but the sound is muffled. If I could get her to wear a 20-dollar headset, that would be the best solution, because then she would be able to hear what happens when she fools with the mic. But she doesn't like the headphones. I do recommend a headset for everyone else, because it helps you to know when you are popping into the mic, and when you have to adjust your volume.





When we are away from the house, I use the VoiceMemo mic that you can buy to go with ipod nano 1st-gen. The sound is fabulous but you have to remember to hold it a little further away than a regular mic because it doesn't have a lot of headroom - it distorts if you talk into it too close.

Overclocking: What is the limit of overclocking a intel pentium dual core T2060?

The limit for over clocking is the point where the chip becomes unstable and begins to process unreliably. This point is different for every individual chip. Only experimenting will determine the point of instability.





P.S. Don't overclock anything you can't afford to replace.

I have a Toshiba Satellite 4090XCDT given to me, how do you work it?
Hello --





I looked up the computer you specified ...


First off this is a very old machine, it is slow (400 megahertz). I don't think it has a USB port. It runs the older Windows 95/98 OS. The hard drive is 4 gigabytes.





Compared to the computers we see today it is rather "wimpy".





Assuming it runs, you might be surprised at the things it can do. It will run MS Office Suite, and it will work well with many of the old used printers for sale used. It might connect to the internet with the PCMCIA Card.





I have a similar machine -- I use it to play chess (it can run many good chess programs).





It could be a fun toy ... but for serious computing it is very out dated.





I hope you get a lot of good out of this machine!

Reply:Read the owner's manual! Well, you need to start it first and then follow on-screen instructions to setup.

Reply:Every form of connection between 2 computers is a type of networking whether its via a LAN/Cat5 (network) cable or via bluetooth or infrared.





You can always use bluetooth or infrared, if both machines have these fitted, or you could use a "console" cable which directly connects your laptop to your PC.





Note that the data transfer speeds of these are quite low compared to normal home networking.

How badly do large LCD monitors use graphics power?

I have a 17" Flatscreen CRT (HP Pavilion mx704) and play games on an nVidia 7600GS. I planned on buying a 22" LCD (Samsung 2253BW) until I realised that this could dramatically effect my graphics card. I play Call Of Duty 4 and Battlefield 2142 on the highest settings but only just make it.





I want to keep the same video settings in the game and have the same experience. Would keeping the original settings (including the low screen resolution settings I used on my CRT) make the game run the same?
How badly do large LCD monitors use graphics power?
You can use the same resolution settings on a 22" monitor as on a 17", whether it is LCD or CRT. It will be no more or less taxing on your graphics card or any other part of your computer.

Reply:There are 4 things I would check...





1) Look in Control Panel, System, and Hardware Profile under the CD/DVD drive. See if the driver is correct. There are rare instances where Windows changes the driver of a CD/DVD drive to something incorrect. Just verify that the correct CD/DVD drive is being used.





2) Check in your BIOS software to assure that the correct settings for your CD/DVD drive are chosen. I can't remember whether the Compaq BIOS is accessible by pressing F10 on the initial Compaq screen or if it is F2.





3) Also, the software might not be functioning correctly. If you do not have numerous burns stored in the software, I would unstall, delete the directory, reboot, and reinstall the CD/DVD software.





4) This might sound stupid but I feel that you should be aware of this. If you are trying to read/write the same information to the computer with numerous DVDs, it will not work. Try DVDs that are totally unrelated to what you originally tried to burn. %26lt;-- This is probably unlikely but I have to put it out there.





Good luck. I hope that one of these helps.
Reply:Yeh !! it happens. If you could find the preset near by the lens fine tune it using precission screw driver. It will work. Make sure you dont disturb the CD read/write part of it.

You can for sure install Windows XP. The problem will occur on part of Audio and Modem, where you need to install the Microsoft Patch before configuring any drivers.

Computer Screen Problems?

I shut down my computer (a Toshiba) during a system restart after hibernation, and when I turned it back on the right side of the screen was covered by a block of white with black and colored lines vertically through it. After restarting a few times, it remained the same. It's still there - any ideas on what caused this/how to fix it?

Life time of LCD is over.

Or maybe it could be that the graphic card has stopped working properly.
Reply:You need to get it quickly to a doctor.
Reply:The connector to the LCD may be loose. Actually, you hope it is loose. With the power off, unscrew the front of the monitor such that you can see the cable. Re-seat (loosen and replug) the connector, refasten the screws you took out and try it again. If that doesn't work most laptops have a connector in the back where you can attach another monitor to it so you can still work on it until you get it fixed.

Which is the best motherboard for AMD?

I am looking for best %26amp;latest motherboard for AMD processor at affordable price.Please advice.
Which is the best motherboard for AMD?
I am a AMD and Asus fan-I would say-the one in the link below.
Which is the best motherboard for AMD?
"Affordable" may not be in the works for "the best." Full retail on "the best" 790i chipset SLI enabled motherboards can run upwards of $450. I can get a standard two processor server motherboard from Supermicro for that much money. So, it may be "affordable" if you are willing to spend $700 on a processor and motherboard alone.





About the geekist and most highest guru's of PC knowledge are the guys (and gals) at MaximumPC Magazine. This is the ultra-hotrod mag for supermoders, overclockers, system builders and Saturday pokers with computers. And if these guys say, this is "so," you had best believe it.

So this is a place you want to check on the net for advice.





Now, in my own latest (and greatest) investigation of what's what, I located four different 790i motherboards and found that the





ASUS Striker II Formula





Is the hottest mb to come along so far for an AMD Phenom 4X 9850 processor.





MSI has a similar board, not quite as tweekable, but still jam packed full of good stuff.





K9N2 SLI Platinum





Gigabyte also has one developed, but for some reason, nobody on line seems to have one, so I am not going to mention it. It appears to be available "overseas" like in New Zealand, a lot of good that does us in the U.S.





The 790I mb's are still relatively hot at the top and not many are available right now for the best AMD Quad core processors with 1066 Mhz + memory. The problem with quad core is that most software is not multithreaded and so cannot take advantage of the extra 2 cores in a quad processor.





And Vista I think is a dead issue. Microsoft announced here yesterday or today, that they are instead, going to come out with a new O/S called Windows 7. Not much available on this newest O/S yet, and I bet it doesn't come out next year like MS is saying...they always project things a year or two early, get caught up in beta testing, run across who knows what in delays, and end up putting out a product a year after they initially said it was going to be available. I think people are so unhappy and displeased with Vista, that even Microsoft finally has wised up they they have significantly BLUNDERED. It would have been much wiser for Microsoft to just make Vista, XP 2007 instead by extending the stability of the current XP platform rather than reinventing the wheel and stumbling on detail.





Well, hope this explains a few things. Good luck.

No Bluetooth Devices icon in Control Panel of my win. xp sp2.?

i have windows xp sp2 installed in my system and i cant find anything about woking with bluetooth connection in my computer. i dont even see a Bluetooth Devices icon in Control Panel, or couldnt find any link about bluetooth in my network places either. this PC is kinda old (6yrs) so i guess if it requires a hardware/card for bluetooth technology, my pc lacks it. how can know if my desktop pc supports bluetooth? if it dosnt how can i use bluetooth with my PC??


any help would be appreciated.


thankyou
No Bluetooth Devices icon in Control Panel of my win. xp sp2.?
This facility is only available in Windows Vista. The bluetooth icon will be in your taskbar. or go to All programs in start menu.

Hence it is 6 years old comp/ you will have to buy addition blue tooth device(which is similar to a pen drive).


Probably it will support in your computer...


You should install Blue tooth it also..
Reply:Wow. Well a 6 year old PC is not going to have bluetooth 'integrated' and to be honest, not many PC's do...So you can stop your searching





Generally laptops 'come with' bluetooth and that is different to 'wifi'.





In order to get bluetoothed, buy a USB Bluetooth Adaptor such as this:

You can get an internal card, but I would suggest this as it's simpler to install and you can't get it wrong.

Powering a UPS?

When the power goes off and the UPS eventually dies i connect it to the generator but it does not power up. How long does it have to be connected before it is working and I can switch on my PC etc.
Powering a UPS?
if your UPS dies and you try to bring it up through generator it wont help. Generator generates lot of sine waves which kills the charge in battery.





It is advisable that you put your UPS on generator much before it dies. Else you need to wait for the mains to come and bring batteries back to life with some charge upon it.
Powering a UPS?
A generator produces DC current....but your UPS is meant to be run on AC....so u can not charge your UPS using a generator
Reply:Generators can produce AC power (how else would it power up things in your house?), but it's not really clean power. Certain generators produce more "dirty" power than others and the UPS senses this and will not take a charge from the "dirty" power.





To make it simple, Universal Power Supplies generally don't like generators.

Memory stick?
very strange not sure
Reply:Very strange indeed! The only thing I can think of, is this incapability between XP and Vista. When you put it on XP, XP puts it's stamp on it, Vista now doesn't now recognise it.





A mate of mine has had a similar problem with this and we have been unable to solve it!
Reply:Format the Stick in XP ... choose FAT32 ..





Vista likes to do things it's own unique way .. the only way to force it to be compatible with XP is to format your stick in XP first ..





Vista understands XP, but XP does not understand Vista (%26amp; neither does anyone else)
