 | Hey Guys, This would appear to be a myth, the 20% reserved bandwidth is available to any program requesting priority access. This "reserved" bandwidth is still available to other programs unless the requesting program is sending data. You can check it out here. [url]http://tinyurl.com/38mu9[/url] Dave  |
 | Not to sure whether this has been solved or not but from my experience the main problem is the cpu architecture. If for example your old system was AMD or old intel processors (meaning pre Pentium 4) then you have buckleys....I have on numerous occasions put a preloaded Win 7 … |
| | There are a number of data recovery programs you can use. SOme of them are free. One such is PC Inspector file recovery. But there are plenty of others out there to try. Good luck |

| | Re: Bill COuld just be a glitch. sometimes removing the power lead from the back of the pc for about 5 minutes will fix it, this is because while the pc may not be powered on there is still a circuit through the mains wireing and thus the board doesn't lose power … |

| | Hi All, I this is an age old problem and is fairly well covered in the forum and I can repair now while standing on my head, but I have system that continualy does it. After I replace the file or files missing the pc will boot fine for maybe … |
| | Excellent list of tweaks....couple there I hadn't known of. Well done PCFReSH |
 | Re: Control Panel Sounds like a virus...maybe. You could try this fix from MS [url]http://support.microsoft.com/kb/812340[/url] Let us know what happens and good luck. Dave |
| | How do you mean clean? If you want to just clean up temp and old files you can d/load Cleanup 4.52 from stevengould.org and run in conjuction with windows disk cleanup. But there are a number of other programs available. CCleaner is another program which seems to get a good …  |
| | I have probably had more luck using combofix to sort out this kind of problem. If all else fails run hijack this and send the log file to the appropriate thread. Dave |
 | [QUOTE=colon3l;946762]It seems to be possible simply with Everest or Aida32 :)[/QUOTE] Doesn't appear possible with Everest Home Edition, but AIDA32 does give you your product key. Be careful where you download AIDA32 from as I just got it from Majorgeeks and it had a trojan attached, antivirus picked them up … |
| | If the system is stable enough to run windows, then have a look at the "Event Viewer" in Administrative tools in control panel. Look in the System and Application log. You will find any errors relating to either of these in there. But it may just be your Video card … |
| | Definitely a hardware problem. If you are okay with working on the hardware you could try this: remove power from the tower, remove the cover of the PC, disconnect the cables from the HDD and CD/DVD drives....both cable from each. Take note of the orientation of the cables makes it … |
| | If you are still having grief d/load Combofix.exe rename it to anything you want then boot into safe mode and run it. Make you anti-virus is turned off first though. Dave |
| | Sounds like a interesting problem. You may have had a power surge during the night.....this will sometimes cause a PC to start up by itself. One thing to try that is simple is to turn off at the wall and then disconnect power lead from the PC. You may wonder …  |
| | What version of XP are you using? As long as the disc you use is the same as the one installed you can use anyones. Dave  |
| | You can also get packs according to which OS you use....just search for either XP Codec pack or Vista Codec pack I have found that these are to some degree better than ffdshow or divx. They appear to integrate better into the system. Dave |

| | Hi Linda, THe explanation of WinXP error codes can be found here and maybe a possible solution. [url]http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310123[/url] The other possibilty is that your DVD drive is dead only one way to check though....you would need to put another dvd drive in and see if you have the same problem. …  |
| | If you can get a copy of Everest from Lavalys you can find out exactly what hardware you have then d/load drivers accordingly. There is a free home edition...you could try that but it is a bit old. Here is the link [url]http://majorgeeks.com/download4181.html[/url] . Just ran it on my system …  |
| | Two things you could try are running Combofix, and LSPfix. Both are d/loadable from the net for free. There are a number of malware programs that aren't picked up by Virus Scanners. When you use Combofix you have to disable resident virus protection, then the program automatically runs and removes … |
| | Hi All, Just thought that I would share a solution to the old userinit.exe problem. So far this has worked twice for me. After windows loads to a blank desktop and you get the userinit.exe error use "ctrl,alt,delete" to get the task manager up. Go to file "run(new task)". Type … |
| | HAve you tried using "recovery console"? When you boot from the XP disc the first option screen askes if you want to repair using it. If you can get into there you can copy the file from the disc. Hope this helps |
| | Re: i need help You could try running something like CleanUp! you can get it from stevengould.org, It is probably the best cleaner I have used. PCFReSH |
| | Hi I have a problem with a Acer travelmate 5720G. One of my friends powered of his laptop by pressing the power button and now it doesn't see the hdd after post. I originally thought that it was the hdd, but Ireplaced it with a new one and still the … |
| | Hi, to get to your desktop after you click ok use "ctrl, alt, del" to bring up Windows Task Manager, go file and select New Task(Run) type in explorer.exe press enter. Now you can follow Gerbils directions. But to tell the truth I have had no luck with this problem … |
| | Hi if you can access task manager then go to file new task run. Type in explorer.exe this will get you into windows. There is another post here about userinit.exe. Follow the instruction there to repair. Running windows repair will not fix this this problem. This is from the earlier … |
 | Hi, This could be caused by a myriad of things. But if you can get into safe mode go to control panel and the Administrative tools, open the event viewer and have a look at he system log and application log. THis will show any errors and warnings. Post them … |
| | Hi, There are numerous causes for IE not to connect. A few points to check. Log into your modem to check your details, and run diagnostics and check your dsl status. If your dsl status says you have no connection then call your ISP. If the dsl is ok then … |
| | Hi, You could also try resetting the bios..... Dave |
| | Hi, You could try removing any add on hardware ie. graphics card, sound card.....and also remove some of the ram. I have found that ram is probably the biggest reason for install failures followed by bum hdd. If you get 2003 installed try adding the removed hardware and ram till … |
 | Actually slave it into another machine.....much easier Good luck Dave |
| | Hi, laptops are so hard to diagnose as it usually means having to disassemble and verify that the power supply is actually working. Just because the lights come on doesn't necessarily mean that it is okay. Much the same way a desktop psu will die, the lights are on but …  |
| | Hi, Because of the way HDD manufactures measure there drives a 80 Gb HDD is actually only 78.12 Gb. This is the maths: in actuallity there are 1024 Mb to a Gb, the manufacturers measure them at 1000 Mb to a Gb. Now your drive may have problems which windows … |
 | Hi, You could try using the latest version of Ubuntu it's 8.04. It comes with wireless support which surprised me. One of the reasons I haven't used linux for a long time. I dual boot it with XP off my old Acer laptop. Never been much into virtualisation ;-) PCFReSH |
| | Re: XP Xpired Hi one thing I have found with the hard drive not beeing seen is to disconnect the drive from the motheroard and power supply, reboot the pc. Turn off the pc and reconnect to motherboard and power supply. power up the pc. This works about 80% of the time. Back … |
| | Hi....no blue screens here either on my desktop with ultimate or on the laptop with home premium. Thought that there would be problems on the desktop seeing as it is pretty old only 1.6Ghz amd, 1Gb ram, 128Mb Ati 9250se graphics and 200Gb HDD. But it's sweet as. Dave |
| | Hi, How long do you leave it in the first 2 options "Safe Mode"? It can take quite awhile to load, depending on the system. I have had to wait for close to an hour on some machines. If that fails try getting hold of a boot disk with Check … |

| | Re: Drivers needed Hi, This is one of my pet hates...not being able to find drivers for main stream laptops...had the same problem with my acer 4051LMi. I was lucky enough to find them at the acer euro site. But for machines I have trouble getting drivers for I use AIDA32 its a … |
| | Hi Pcfresh here, just new to these forums. A couple of things you could try to resolve this problem: Boot into safe mode(press the F8 key repeatedly while computer is first booting up} use arrow key to select safe mode. You will most likely still get the error message, just … |
The End.
