Speed during statup is 1.6, then drops to 700 at end of bootup.

yeah,and one would assume that when the programs need more it should increase.maybe someone who actually know will see the post and have solution,in the meantime i'll keep looking with you for an answer

hi, i read the manual thinking might be something in it ,but not,some setting in the bios maybe , one would think it would up the speed when/if its needed ,the laptop im on right now does, im using win7 and have a side bar gadget[just right click on sidebar and go more gadgets ] that shows my cpu and ram usage ,and shows when speed goes up and down

i now get it, i think ,you are doing school work ,so this like getting help with your homework .

wonder where the OP went ,maybe he took his daughter out for ice cream

I don't see how you can call the free version useless.

my post was just based on a quick look at the website and the limitations of the free version,Viewer only ,and i actually said "for most!!
having said that i guess after a closer look at website and your last post ] it would be fine for the OP to used on his daughters computer ,

i never let my daughter have a computer in here room when she was 12 ,we all shared the same computer in the family room ,until she was 15 or 16, "

how much ram does the computer have instilled in it ,as adding more rm would likely give a better boost ,right click on mycomputer and go properties it will show ram there

hi, i have never tried it myself ,but just want to say as with anything we do like this on a computer its always recommended to backup ones data anyway .so at worse all you loose is windows and programs if something goes wrong.also just read this todo before the convert .
Completely defrag, and scandisk your machine. Then, open a command prompt (Start->Run, type in "cmd" in the box and hit "Ok"), and then type:CONVERT C: /FS:NTFS

im not sure ,if its the latest version try looking in the settings on this screen[see attachment taken from there web site ] for the button you accidentally pushed. if it not a full version ,just a trial ,simply uninstall the program,it should but windows back to defaults ,and if you really want to use it reinstall ,and be care full what you check off ,good luck

from what i can find its not available to the general public for download,maybe i could help you with a copy of it , i have a msdn acct and have access to it myself .
what part of out great world to you live in

there must be somewhere in tuneup utilities preferences to un check it ,it been a long time since i played with tuneup myself

I searched the web for the download but when I select the downloaded items I get the error 25091

not sure exactly what you mean by this ?

you could borrow a copy of it from someone maybe

hello ,i have removed everything but the cpu ,and still nothing ,im going to take it apart completly tomorrow night and try some new paste on the cpu and also check out the board fully ,thanks
as for hp support i check the support site ,and online chat only for laptops under warranted, email just about ? before you buy ,and phone support may be a charge .
user only used it for the net and email and stuff ,would not have been on for long times ,unless maybe they would forget to turn it off ,not really sure .
thanks will keep you posted

good luck

Hello ,I have a friends 14 mnt old HP G61,when plugged in only light that works is one next to the power cord connection,power and charge and hdd led on frot of laptop do not turn on when plugged in .so it does not turn on .
here is what i tried ,removed ,ram /hdd/battery /bios battery ,tried a different power adapter and battery [from my own compaq cq60] same results .
when plugged in [battery removed ] i used a Volt meter and it showed power to the battery connection 14 volts i think ,

it makes no effort to turn on at all /worked one day and not the next ,thank for any help

the free version is almost useless,for most !

... which raises the question of boot priority. The computers' bios is password protected, most likely.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys.

if its a owner set password and not one from the factor ,you can reset to default [no password ]by removing the bios battery from the motherboard ,or with bios/cmos reset jumper on the board

PC - Dell Studio XPS with Vista.

reports "4Gb" of memory installed ... but only 3Gb as usable !

when you right click on mycomputer /properties,does it say windows vista 64bit,
also do you have onboard or a addin video card

weird ,sorry thats all i have to offer ,good luck

jeez buddy, you make me sound so insensitive.

didn't meant to ,sorry ,it was just a comment ,had i meant it directly at you i would have quoted our post

up to 10000 dead ,i never thought of the affects of cost on computer junk,never once enter my mind,

try this it works with my ie9

go to start/ all programs /right click on the ie7 icon ,then one in the list of all programs ,not the quick link icon .[this icon gives me the run command then desktop one dosn't because its only a shortcut ] go to properties ,you should see run command make sure its set to open maxamize.hope this isn't to confusing

hi, when having this problem with ie6 you use to beable to right click on the ie icon and chose open maximized , or using you mouse drag the 4 corners to fill the screen,then fo to file and chose exit ,maybe ,i use ie9 so i cant check what im saying

check this like for a solution i think .

"Edit and forget" ?? I don't get it

I bought my notebook with win7 already on it...I don't have a DVD to use.

i had posted something,and changed my mind ,so just in case someone read it while it was there, edit and forget[it]sorry to add confusion .

this thread was started 5 yrs ago and the fix is still the same

edit and forget

this regedit link is a few yrs old ,but should still be the same .
http://www.online-tech-tips.com/computer-tips/how-to-change-the-default-location-for-installing-applications-in-windows/

no only is it possible its recommended.when you install any software it asks where you want to install it to defaults is usually c:\program files ,folder ,so ou just created a programs folder on the 7200 rpm drive and manually direct the install to it when asked where you want to install it ,there is also a registry edit to change the default to the other drive like D:\program file ,just use www.google.com , and you will find all the answers

Hey Guys,

Thanks for the responses...I went ahead and bought a 600W power supply. Probably overkill but it was on sale for $39 so I figured why not?!

hi, something you will learn as you help more ,is that if OP doesn't respond in 5 or 6 days they likely never will ,and just to say what was already said ,they are looking for a program to do all the work ,and the the links posted in this thread require user to do most of the work, good post ,keep helping, daniweb needs all th helpers it can get thanks

did you format it windows disk management if not try it see if it changes.
if no ,take it back to retailer

if i was a admin i would move you the apple section but im not so maybe you could just copy paste this into a new thread in the apple section good luck .

also you could try checking the ram with memtest86 bootcd
http://www.memtest86.com/

do you have a linux live cd to try ,if it works it would ruel out hardware for the most part ,but it runs from the cd and ram ,so it sould be a bad harddrive .

ubuntu linux ,burn it to disk ,and when booting to the disk you will get option to install or run from disk to try it without installing to hdd .

you understood that ,lol

what were you doing when it said it wanted to restart windows explorer

For those other volunteers who would like to help me, I would like to know more something about how to repair this problem.

ok, my opinions sometimes get in my way ,sorry
go to start ,in the search box type in cmd ,when the cmd icon shows up right click on it and choose run as administrator , when the cmd prompt opens type in without the quotes 'sfc /scannow ' note there is a space between the c and the / you may need your win7 dvd [if you have one ]to repair any missing files you may not ,good luck

just an opinion

i would suggest something better built like this one and not a bad price .

As I have observed, MSE detects slower than AVG. It seems that MSE blocks files that have virus poorly.

for that to happen you must be running both av's at the same time .

How can the deletion of registry keys affect my pc if the registry keys that are being deleted only are the obsolete ones?

thats my point ,they don't always just remove obsolete ,if they havent yet you have been lucky

my post was just my opinion,on the tools you use ,i see them causing problems all the time[ deleting registry entries that they shouldn't ] ,just an opinion
also you should not have 2 anti-virus program monitoring at the same,time if you re'

mse finds all viruses i/we have come across so far , 3 laptops in the house and none have viruses on them

my suggestion is to rid you computer of programs like Tune Up utilities and ASC Pro,nothing but trouble and unnecessary in my opinion.
also would switch from avg to Avast or even Microsoft security essentials as lacking as it is .it works great for us

Hello:

Few things might be culprit. Had the same problem. Try cleaning the prefetch folder in window. Theres a way to set what to keep in prefecth folder, look for info in web. Check and fix registries with a registry appl. Check msconfig startup programs and services and uncheck what you don't need (to open: start/run/msconfig/ok. The most dangerous: HD might have bad surface sectors, and it might get worst till HD dies.

all good info, but this thread is over 6 yrs old

If the beeps are supposed to come directly from the motherboard, then no. Or do I need to connect my speakers?

yeah,it will come from a little speaker on the motherboard,not the computer speakers
