    - Windows Update Slows Down Operation The ScanningProcess associated with Windows Update is a heavy resources consumer and slows down my computer significantly. The same during installation of updates. I have two questions in regard: 1. How do I reduce its resource consumption so it doesn't affect Windows operation as much? 2. It used to install updates during Windows Shutdown, but it doesn't do that anymore. How do I set it to do most of the work during shutdown? Tag: Control Panel Tag: 227725

    - Page File Size & Location The Question: What size should I make for my page file, and where should the page file be located? The Details: I am installing a new 100GB, 7200RPM Hitachi hard drive in a Toshiba laptop. I'll be using the Toshiba Recovery DVD, and then installing all the Microsoft updates using a high-speed broadband connection. The computer has 2GB of SDRAM already installed and tested satisfactory. I have also updated the BIOS to the most recent available from the Toshiba web site. The Background: From various web sites, it seems my page file should be 1.5 to 3.0 times the total amount of RAM. 1.5 plus 3.0 equals 4.5 and 4.5 times 20000 (MB of RAM) equals 90000MB, or 9GB for the page file. Can anyone confirm this? Also, the laptop only has room for one hard drive. It seems smart to put the page file on another partition, but is this safe to do, or will doing that slow down the computer? If I do put the page file on a separate partition, can partitions 9GB in size be created? (I'm probably going to be using FDISK.) Thanks! Jim Tag: Control Panel Tag: 227721

    - HP 9130 OJ Printer causes slow access to 'My Computer' There is a delay in opening 'My Computer' (and save as 'browser' - I don't know the name for these interactive windows). It is a t60 laptop running xp+sp2. It happens after installing an HP OfficeJet 9130. I have unistalled and installed in several different ways (options), but the trouble persists. I just re-confirmed that the problem is caused by the presence of the 9130 by unistalling it again, and checking. I have read several suggestions about why slow access to My Computer occurs. I don't have any drives connected. The 9130 is the only real printer I have attached. (Adobe PDF and MS Office Doc. Writer are listed as well.) I use the scanner on this computer. The WIA service is 'automatic', but was not running when I checked once when the 'My Computer' issue existed. BTW: I have a second t60/xp+sp2 computer that is set up to use the same printer/scanner. No hang-up on that machine. I hope you can help! Regards, Tim Tag: Control Panel Tag: 227666

    - optimum partion size Hi Dear I have a question about Windows XP (SP1 or SP2): What is optimum partition size for drive c in windows (particularly in Large Hard disk ex.160 GB) I believe that because of using virtual memory (paging) in drive c, we can configure it to large size (for example 20 Gb in 160 GB total) but my friend thinks that if we configure Drive c to large size it will be slowly and system performance will be down (because of search & fragment) and he believes that we should use smallest size for partition of drive c (for example 4GB). If possible, describe that is right or no. Thanks a lot Best regards Reza Beglari Tag: Control Panel Tag: 227655

Recently I recieved fatal CPU temprature message in my BIOS when my system was starting thought nothing of it switched my machine off and came back to find i working alright.

However outbound MSN connections remain intact and my CD driv still opens and closes. To this I think it could be an overheatin problem. Checking my cpu temp running P4 Intel 3.21Ghz im on 57*C and usin 0.07% CPU usage. My case is open, well venitlated and I have vacumen my case clean, removed my heatsink and and dust. Could it simply be a problem of a lack of thermal paste, OR could it b a graphics card problem. I cannot determine! Any help is apriciated! Thanks, Jami -- rootj4m13 Tag: Control Panel Tag: 227651

Nothing else seems to be affected - even Windows Explorer loads immediately, but each time I try to open My Computer it hangs. I am sure that it is looking for something that it expects to find but can't. Can anyone tell me how to sort the problem out?

I am debating whether to go in for a BIOS upgrade in the hope that my Dell Laptop will finally recognize the new battery that I bought.

    - Windows XP Display Performance Problem I'm currently using Windows XP SP2 and recently discovered a display problem. It appears that any relatively dark portions of the screen, such as the blue bar at the top of windows and such, will cause darker shades to go across the entire screen as well. I can still see what is underneath these shaded bars, as it were, but the fact that it darkens the things that it covers is rather annoying. I would like to make it so that these darker portions of the screen will not cause these shaded bars to appear. This developed yesterday after a couple of programs were installed by my family members (Warcraft III, iTunes and iPod software). I do not know how this came about and have yet to find a way to fix it. Any suggestions? Tag: Control Panel Tag: 227543

    - Windows Explorer Application Error I have a Dell Dimension 4550 desktop computer, Windows XP Home with SP-2 and all Microsoft updates installed, 768MB of RAM. No viruses that I know about. I run AVG anti-spyware, AdAware, SpybotS&D, CWShredder, Spyware Doctor, and Zone Alarm (free version). I keep them updated daily or as often as the companies release updates. I scan daily and so far, so good. All this started about a week ago. I'm not sure what is causing all this, but whenever I plug a USB flash drive into either of the two USB ports on the front of my computer, or into the one USB port open on the back of my computer, or if I put a CD or DVD in either of my optical drives, the computer will respond with either of two error messages. Here they are: [first error message] explorer.exe - Application Error The instruction at "0x7c910f29" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be "read". Click on OK to terminate the program Click on CANCEL to debug the program OK (button) CANCEL (button) If I click on OK, the error message goes away, I'm back to my desktop, all my desktop icons briefly disappear, then re-appear, and my computer seemingly returns to normal. Except I still cannot use any USB port or optical drive. If I click on CANCEL, I get another error message, which reads this way: Error Signature AppName: explorer.exe AppVer: 6.0.2900.3156 ModName: ntdll.dll ModVer: 5.1.2600.2180 OffSet: 00011e58 No button appear on this box. I have to use the Ctrl-Alt-Del to bring up the Task Manager to box this box, then restart my computer. When the computer restarts, I still cannot use any USB ports or optical drives. I have run the built-in defragger and the error-checker. Both work normally and the error-checker does not report any problems. I thought I may have a bad or failed memory card, so I ran the Microsoft Windows Memory Diagnostic (http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp). I ran it overnight and it came back with "no errors". Here is the second error message: Windows Explorer Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. If you were in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost. For more information about this error, click here. DEBUG (button) CLOSE (button) If I click on the CLOSE button, I'm back to the desktop and the disappearing and re-appearing icons. If I click on the DEBUG button, I get a box with the same information as you can read above (AppName, AppVer, etc), except at the bottom of this box is this: To view technical information about the error report, click here. CLOSE (button) When I click there, I get a larger box full of random numbers and letters. When I close that box, if I wait for a moment or two, I get THIS box: DrWatson Postmortem Debugger DrWatson Postmortem Debugger has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. DEBUG (button) CLOSE (button) The CLOSE button takes me back to the desktop.

    - IE7 Freezes I installed IE7 on my XP SP2 Home Edition machine which has a P4 3Ghz Chip and 1.5Gb Ram. It has recently started to freeze up, causing me to shut it down with task manager. This started with my home page, which now freezes up every time I try to open it up. Other miscellaneous web sites open with no problem, so far. I have read through the numerous articles on MS help web site, but the problem just comes back after I apply the purported cure. If I even try to type in the url of my former home page (www.charter.net), it still freezes. I have flushed the cache and reset all settings. Should I revert back to IE6 on my XP machine? Any other helpful suggestions on how I can remedy this would be appreciated. Dennis Tag: Control Panel Tag: 227513
