View 8 RepliesHad some Corsair memory ( 2x1024 dual channel ) that failed so brought some Geil ( 2x1024 dual channel ). When I recieved the replacment Corsair I put it back in and no problems. Now was wondering if I would see any benifit by putting all 4 sticks in the computer? I would assume that the Corsair Ram setting would default back to the slower Geil Ram settings (the PC ran quite good why I had the Geil memory in). Basically I dont want to stuff the computer up but I have the Geil Ram laying around doing nothing.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a program in my start menu that when I select it it doesn't open, it mealy places it's icon in the notification area of the task bar. This has forced me to right click and select 'Open' form the icon's context menu. I tried changing the 'Run' box to maximized but it didn't work. The original folder the
program put in the start menu after installation worked ok. I have since removed it and added just the executable to the star menu which is what doesn't seem to want to cooperate.
Is there a way to put a link to your desktop in the windows explorer favorites panel. Simple drag and drop doesn't seem to work, at least for me. I want to be able to access my desktop from that panel.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm running Windows Vista 32 bit Home blah, blah, blah, with a NVIDIA GEForce 6150 graphics card. I have 2 monitors, but believe I need to purchase another video/graphics card. Anyone smarter than me out there (that was meant to be self depricating), that could recommend a plain jain, cheap graphics card so I can hook up my second monitor? I'm not into gaming, just love having two monitors at work, and once you have two, you can't handle one, right?

View 8 Replies View RelatedThere have been many posts about backup problems in Vista. I too was having problems. I kept researching for answers and maybe the following will help someone else with their problem. I counld not get the backup to work properly. I kept getting BACKUP FAILED messages.
I even reformatted the Hard Drive and then still ran into the problem. I read all the treads, and saw numerous refernces to REGISTRY CLEANERS. I like my 3B REGISTRY REPAIR PRO but trying to correct the backup problem, I restalled the original registry. and then tried to Back Up. Result. NO MORE BACKUP FAILURE. I am 99% sure, that when a Registry Cleaner is used, It will interfere with the Backup Program, thus generating the problems.
I'm running Microsoft Word 2007. When I go into Mailings/Envelopes and add a recipient's address (I usually change Fonts from the Default), then hit Print, nothing happens at the printer. The image on my monitor goes from the Envelope set-up screen to a blank Microsoft Word document screen. I've got an envelope snuggly tucked into the printer slot. Tried this multiple times without success. I wonder if I'm the only person who's thought about pitching Vista and going back to XP Pro.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI've never had to deal with Parttions before so forgive my ignorance. I am using Vitsa Home Premium and decided to dual boot with Kubuntu which I absolutely hated. I removed Kubuntu by deleting the partition then restoring the boot manager for Vista. The partition that contained Kubuntu is now empty. I would like to merge the partition back into Vista. How do I do this?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've had a triple-boot set up on my laptop with XP, Vista and Windows 7 beta on three logical volumes. I wanted to uninstall the Win7 beta, and ran this command using the Win7 beta installation disk:
"e:ootsect.exe /nt52 ALL /force" (E: is my DVD drive)
Stupid. Of course, with this parameter I managed to get rid of the Vista boot option as well as Win7. Now the machine only launches XP. Does anybody know a way to get Vista back into the boot menu, short of doing a Vista repair install? I've kept all files on the volumes, it should all be there.
I unfortunatly have Vista Ultimate installed - it is slow, cumbersome and memory intensive. I want to change back to XP - how can I do this ??
View 8 Replies View RelatedI originally had Windows Vista Home Premium 64bit installed on my computer. I wasn't given a restore disk when I bought my computer from Best Buy, luckily my brother had an old copy of XP Pro 32bit laying around, or at least I felt lucky when he came up with it after using Linux for a week.
My question is will I be able to switch from XP Pro 32bit back to Vista 64bit? I know jack about compatibility, if it isn't obvious. I've tried switching back to Linux Ubuntu 64bit but all I was given was error messages.
I have purchased a new PC, Vista-ready, and I was wondering, if it crashed, will I lose the OS? It didn't come with the Vista CD. So when my PC crashes, does it automatically bring Vista back? Sorry if I used the wrong choice of words, I'm not a pro.
