sounds like windows is installed on the e:/ partition and all programs are install on c:\ maybe.
go to computer /open the e:\ drive, so it shows the folders/files on it ,using the snipit tool in all programs/accessories ,create a image of the folder,save it to your desktop and then upload it here[click on use advanced editor ,managed attachments, to upload the saved image ] .like this one .

giving its a laptop the e:\ partition was likely for the Dell recovery[is for a 3 non dell laptops in my house ] and should not have been used for data storage.
go start click on ,computer ,right click on e:/ try a format from there ,if it does then try disk management

find the prefetch folder and delete its content ,reboot the computer .

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

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

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

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 .

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

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

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 .

i think there is a bios limit of 750 gig on older motherboards what is ou motherboards make and model # ou may need a bios update to fix it ,if the board maker has one

speaker like this one , hooks to 4 pins marked spk on the mothereboard at the front panel switch connects ,just follow the wire from the front switch back to the motherboard ,should be near the lower right of the mb'

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

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

Read prior pages on thread.

its a simple question ,sorry

what happens when you opn task managr and go new task and type in explorer.exe and hit enter

Well I enabled Hyper-Threading and It is fine. The computer I enabled it on before is still working so I guess It is safe...

Thank-you to all who replied!

hi, even if there is a real problem with electro-migration [what ever that is ] im sure its not going to happen anytime soon ,i have been running mine for over 2 yrs now and it still works as good as it did when i enabled it
what version of windows are you using

Do you think a modern sound driver will work?

if you have a modem sound card combo and have the right drivers it should ,install drivers way back then was not as easy as it is today

I just went on http://www.piriform.com/recuva and you can only download if I pay for it.

click on one of the links by the red check mark

it been a long time since i used win3.1 and when i did i didn't know much about them .
but im sure you will need drivers to make all those things work just like any windows os .finding drivers might be hard

you could try recuva program its free and has worked for me and many other.
http://www.piriform.com/recuva

all version will run that setup .but ,if you want to run more than 3.5meg ram you need to run a 64 bit .version pro or ultimate would be my choice ,i have ultimate but i go it free from Microsoft for hosting a win7 release party back in sept 09,wish i had something like your upcoming setup to run it on .
check this like on differences in win7 version and then decide .

hi,i would first run seatools by seagate to check the harddrive
http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/support/downloads/seatools

the error says it all ,you need to have a copy of photo shop already installed to install the extended,so return it and get your money back
if it a bootleg copy ,then please do not post back looking for help with it,as we offer no help for bootleg software,sorry

for such problems i use ccleaner,run the regestry clean section and remove all it finds.

just theroy never actually done it ,if you put the drive in your laptop and add windows i386 content,[i386 files would have to on a seperate partition it think to install xp on other partition ]maybe you could then boot the f8 option and chose safe mode with command promp ,and then find you way to what you added and run setup from there.
also ,im wondering if it would be possiable to access i386 file on a thumb drive from the command prompt

your welcome and good luck ,about adding to rep ,im not sue where the link is to do that ,

your welcome

hi, i would elimate the switch,just hook the wirelless router to the isp provided modem ,then ,wire it to your fathers computer ,,hook the wire that goes to fathers computer from the modem to the wan port of the wirless router ,then run a cable from wireless router to you dad computer ,you should be fine as long as your dads room isn't to far away ,if the wireless router is latest wireless N type you should be fine ,we hook to ours from about 600 ft across the roard at mothers house from time to time

im on a cable hook up , three wireless laptops ,modem and wireless router is just on the floor behind a chair not hooked to any computer ,we do not pay anything for extra ip address
