What Name Is Used For The Server's Print Queue Name And What's The Purpose Of It

Feb 6, 2009

From the manifacture, the printer has a netbios name, a model number, its driver's name, its LPD queue name. On the server, the administrator assigns a print queue name and an IP address. what name is used for the server's print queue name and what's the purpose of it. On the other hand, why do we need the LPD queue name if we send the print job to printer's IP address? Lately, printers manufactures allow any remote queue name for LPD queue name .... how does that work compare to the specific LPD queues names?

HP 7300--print Queue Wont Clear

Jun 14, 2008

the print queue won't clear so nothing new can print. the test page is in the queue and says deleting, but it never does. consequently, nothing going into the queue will print. I can't figure our how to get the queue to clear so i can start fresh. rebooting the computer doesn't fix it.

Paging File - Why Do I Need It?

Apr 23, 2008

I recently bought an expensive new 1tb hdd & bought another 4gb of ram. I decided to turn of the paging file so that it saves wear & tear on my hdd & have had no problems whatsoever. Is there any disadvantage to having the paging file turned off? I heard that it mirrors the amount of ram you have, so mine was 8gb is this true? Also, i know vista only allows 32 bit apps to access 2gb of ram, but if i have a paging file, would windows allow 32 bit apps to use 2gb of ram as well as extra space in the paging file? Or does it only allow 2gb of memory ram or otherwise

Paging Files In Vista

Sep 10, 2009

I would like to create 2 paging files, one on C: and the other on an eSata external drive. I've heard 2 sides of how. One to let the computer decide (System Managed Size) on both drives, and the other to have a static page file on both as to eliminate fragmentation. System Managed or a Static pagefile? And if a static, how large on both. I have 4G Ram?

Paging File Size: Settings

Jan 26, 2009

My computer has three (3) physical hard drives. Two (2) of them with one or two logical partitions and the smallest drive without any partition. ALL partitions are listed in the "Virtual Memory Paging File" window.

The question is this; should I set just one (1) partition as my page file, or should I set ALL listed partitions (Main and Logicals) to be "Managed By System"? or; set all but one to "No paging file" and set the smallest drive for the "Virtual Memory Paging File"?

Drive 1 is 750 Gb partitioned in 200Gb (Main)/200Gb (Logical)/350Gb (Logical).

Drive 2 is 500 Gb partitioned in 250 (Main)/250Gb (Logical).

Drive 3 is 160 Gb not partinioned (no Logical).

Have found lots of information and suggestions on setting "Paging File Size" but none mentions anything about the logical partitions. I currently have them ALL set to "System Managed Size" and it reports a file size of 141000Mb allocated. I guess this is about 10% of the total disk capacities?

Virtual Memory - Changing The Paging File Size

Aug 12, 2009

I currently have 4GB of RAM installed, of which in real terms, only 3.07GB is actually being used by my system.

I am wondering, given that my RAM is sitting at max. levels, if there are any reasons, advantages or benefits to be had in changing the Virtual Memory - Paging File Size for all Drives, from the current size of 3369MB to the recommended size of 4603MB, or more....say 4950MB??

ReadyBoost: "Automatically Manage Paging File Size For All Drives"

May 2, 2008

I inserted a new, blank 1GB USB drive into laptop. Vista Home Basic promptly asked if I wanted it to be used for ReadyBoost. I responded "Yes". Subsequently when booted-up, Right-Click Computer Advanced System Settings - Advanced tab - Performance (.... virtual memory) - Settings button - Advanced tab - Virtual Memory Change ... button.

It shows "Automatically manage paging file size for all drives" is ticked: "Paging file for each drive:" C: System managed F: (the USB stick drive): None

If I untick the "Automatically manage .." and select the USB stick drive, it shows only 103MB available; this figures, because the USB stick drive "F:", shows a "ReadyBoost.sfcache" file of 870,401kB, created at the time of the latest boot-up; thus it seems to be creating or refreshing the paging file on boot-up.........

But today I was watching it and noticed that all of a sudden it stopped defragmenting and the info changed to 'Analyzing disk...'.

Windows Disk Fragmenter Easting A LOT Of Disk Space

Jun 17, 2008

I am a relatively unexperienced windows vista user using windows home premium at 32 bit on an acer aspire 6920 notebook. I noticed that occassionaly my disk space would drop dramatically without me doing anything. 100s of mbs would just disappear for no reason, so probably being stupid i decided to run the disk fragmenter to try and fix the problem. BUT to my horror i was shocked to find that the disk fragmenter began to eat up my hard disk space big style. I went from 79.7GB to 72.5GB in just over an hour. What the hell happened and can it be fixed? can i get my disk space back? i thought the disk fragmenter was supposed to help your computer not rob it. does anyone else have this problem and can someone please help me? im kinda desparate, i cant believe it.

Re-partition Disk: Disk Is Split Into 2 Partitions, Vista (C:)

Mar 29, 2008

My Disk is split into 2 partitions, Vista (C: ) and Data (E, each is about 70 Gb. I do not use the Data partition. I want to delete it and allow Vista(C to use all 140 Gb. The Help pages suggest that if I delete (or reduce the size of) "Data", the free space becomes unallocated? Can I repartition the disk to allow Vista C: to acces all 140 Gb?

Stata Disk And Installed Vista Upgrade Top Xp Disk

Mar 13, 2009

I need to replace my wife's motherboard, and I am trying to minimize the amount of change. She is currently running XP, but the hardware is old enough that I cannot simply swap the MBs, because a new board will need a different HAL. I was thinking about installing XP and migrating applications. I was wondering what would happen if I cloned her disk to a SATA disk and installed a Vista upgrade on top of the XP disk. I would run setup and provide the appropriate drivers at the F6 prompt. She has used Vista on occasion when we are out-of-town. I have a separate userID on my laptop that is configured to look as much as possible like XP. The question is whether a Vista upgrade would work on top of an XP image that used a lot of older hardware.

System Disk Automatically Bumped Disk O Position

Sep 21, 2009

I have an HP DV7 notebook that I recently added a second SATA 500 GB hard drive in the expansion bay. The purpose of the drive is to serve as a data drive. I also intend to store an image of my system disk on this internal expansion drive so that I can restore my system and apps when I am in the field. For most purposes the drive seems to be functioning normally. However, I recently noticed that, without my instructions, HP Updates were installing suipport files on my expansion disk rather than on my system disk and I have become concerned that Windows Updates may also end up on the expansion drive (so far they appear not to have done this). On further inspection in Computer Management - Disk Managment I discovered that when I put the expansion drive into the 2nd bay, my original system disk was automatically bumped from the Disk 0 position to the Disk 1 position and my expansion disk became the new Disk 0.

In Computer Managment - Disk Management the system currently looks like
Disk 0 - F: Expansion Drive - Healthy, Primary Partition
Disk 1 - C: - Healthy, System, Boot, Page File, Active, Crash Dump,Primary Partition.

If I physically pull out the F: drive from the machine the C: drive returns to the Disk 0 position. I am concerned that my system and application updates are going to get splattered across two drives when I want them to remain on the original C: drive. I can find no way in BIOS or Computer Management - Disk Management to assign the Disk and physically swapping the drives makes the system disk unbootable. Am I at risk of splattering my Window updates across two drives? Should I instruct Vista to regard my system disk C: as Disk 0 and how to I do this?

Disk Partitioning Via Disk Management?

Jun 19, 2009

I was under the impression that it was possible to partition a hard disk via Disk Management. I want to split the existing C drive into two drives but when I right click the drive in Disk Management there is no option to do this. Is this not possible in Vista?

Disk Boot Failure "INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER"

May 9, 2009

I changed the Boot sequence to CD first, then HDD. Everything ran fine and vista seemingly loaded perfectly. After moving some files from my backup drive back onto my main one and installing some drivers, I was asked to restart my computer (for the drivers) so I did. Remembering that the boot sequence was still set on CD first, and since my driver CD was still in the drive, I decided to set the boot sequence back to the way I had it with XP: HDD and then CD. After doing this I quit BIOS and tried to boot, but I kept getting a message saying: DISK BOOT FAILURE. INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER.

So I restarted the computer again, this time with my Vista CD in the drive, and again, the computer wouldn't boot and told me to enter a boot disk. Not knowing what to do, I went back into BIOS and changed the boot sequence back to CD first, then HD. After doing this, and restarting with the Vista CD in the drive, my computer booted up with no problems whatsoever. I tried reinstalling Vista (twice), reformatting the target hard drive, changing the boot sequence around, pretty much everything I could think of......

Turned It Off The Wrong Way And Now Its Broke: "Disk Boot Failure, Please Insert Boot Disk And Press Enter"

Jul 29, 2009

The other night I was in a rush and I held down the power button until it shut off. the next day I tryed turning it on and after the MB homepage came up for 3 secs on the top left hand corner of the screen it said "Disk boot failure, please insert boot disk and press enter" so i fooled around with the priority settings a little bit and nothing worked. I then inserted the windows vista CD and it would say "Loading windows files" then the loading bar came up and it would always freeze at the same point and after about a minute a blue screen came up saying a problem occured and is shutting off the computer to prevent further damage. Iv tryed everything. could my hard drive be damaged or something? Please someone help me. I cant work with much because i cant even get into windows! :-( All i can work with is the Setup menu

Disk To Disk Copy

Feb 8, 2009

I have an external hard disk where I backup my files and system backups. Yesterday, I purchased a larger external hard disk and want to transfer everything to the new disk. The only command I have noticed is DISKCOPY which might do this. Will this copy everything from the source disk to destination disk? Will the Vista backup directories and shadow (backup) files be copied too? Is there any other tool (preferably freeware) that will do this for me?

"boot Disk" Or Recovery Disk

Jul 29, 2009

When I had XP, I had a startup problem so I rebooted with a Windows XP CD that came with the computer. It fixed it.

I'm not sure if this is called a boot or recovery disk, or both.

I was hoping to make a similar disk for my new Vista (Gateway)computer but I'm not sure how to do it. I read something about an emergency thing that takes up 3 DVDs!

64-bit Disk

Jan 13, 2010

I attended a Microsoft event, and received a free copy of Windows Vista Ultimate Not For Resale.I had to visit a Microsoft site to obtain my key.The key is good for both 32-bit and 64-bit installs.I have the key, and I have the 32-bit install DVD.But I did not install the Vista 32-bit version on my machine.I installed a 64-bit version of Vista Ultimate using my provided key.All worked well for many months.But then my system started acting up.Games would not remember where they lift off, and Texas Hold'em quite
working entirely.And when SP2 came along and refused to load.I read all I could on the web, and came to the conclusion that I have a damaged system file.I need to do a repair install.Problem is, I have no 64-bit disk.And, I can't even remember how I did it, or what I used to load that original 64-bit version install.I looked all through my disks, and just can't find a 64-bit version nor can I find a place to download it from.Does anyone else have this problem? And can you tell me what I should do?

The Disk Defragmenter

Jun 18, 2008

i am writing after i have just installed the new service pack 2 for windows vista and am just trying to suggest that with the disk defragmenter, as there isnt a lot that has been changed like the only things that have been changed are that you can now select volums to defrag. one thing that may help with this is to put a small graph (or GUI) similar to the windows xp one on it and maybe a timer if possible so that people know how long it is going to roughly be until it finishes, and a report message say as again in the previous version telling what amount of fragmentation there is and what files are fragmented. also another thing that i have noticed with vista is that it takes up a lot of memory and if possible would there be any chance of trying to make sure that vista uses less memory so that it can be more responsive. These sugestions are from over the internet that people would like to see
