What do you think is the best RAM to make my laptop Toshiba Satellite L640 faster. Right now my laptop has a 1G RAM and runs so slow even in an i3 processor. Tried to reformat it but it still runs so slow.
Friend of mine runs a small farm supply business, he had three reps, he now has two. The third bought his own laptop on company credit card (allowed) it's a Toshiba Satellite L640. He handed it back in on his last day (unwillingly) friend tried to start it up and goes straight to a black screen with blue password box, can't F2 or F12 just goes straight to password, can't boot off CD. Former employee won't answer phone calls and not sure he would provide it anyway.

Just an old com that feels heavy How do I make my come lighter/faster?I'll be happy if someone can explain me about un neccessary background services, maybe disabling some graphic features etc
I'm interested in buying a laptop, one of the main uses will be running vmware with potentially server 2008 and/or a couple of Windows 7 workstations. I was wondering if vmware or hyper-v utilize an i7 to its full potential or will I not really notice any difference if I opt for an i5 instead.
My laptop seems to be really slow. I'm quite sure that my laptop has always been slow, so it's not like it suddenly just got slow. My laptop used to be Vista but was then I updated to Windows 7. To find more details about my laptop click the computer icon next to my username. I would like some suggestions on how I can make it faster as it's starting to annoy me.
P.S I timed my laptop to see how long it would take to turn on then open my browser, it took 5 mins, it may sound short but its not short when you have to wait 5 mins every time you turn it on.
My laptop takes longer to finish booting (60-70 seconds) than my slower desktop that boots up in about 35-45 seconds.
My laptops CPU is a Core i5 vs my desktop which is an old Pentium 4 HT. I've disabled the same amount of programs to start up on both so I don't know why the laptop is taking longer. how to improve the boot time?
How can I make my laptop and the Internet is working with the best performance? How do I get rid of temporary files and unwanted files? Could I make a batch file or any other file which execute automatically weekly or daily.
i did a little researching last night to find out how to make my os boot faster, right now its a solid 40 seconds from pressing the on button to usable desktop. my rig is an i7 960, x58 gaming series with 12 gb of ram. followed a few guides on Internet that didn't make much of a difference that included setting the number of cores to 4 and max memory on the msconfig window. this rig came with a 64gb solid state which had the os on it, boot up was about a 1/3 faster and shut down took less than 5 seconds compared to now at about 12. i opted to sell it due to its immensely small size and stuck with the 1tb hdd which i then loaded win7 on myself.
any other tweaks you can recommend to get this rig to boot up quickly and shut down faster? there are tons of apps in the services start up that i really don't know what to do with and dont want to toggle them off, startup only has 5 required things that need to be active when booting up. outside of that, not sure what else i can do or if this is the limits of what win7 + my rigs specs can achieve. 40 second boot up seems slow on my 1tb hdd.
I rebooted my labtop everything came back ok but the webcam application that normally is under utilities i went to toshiba website installed their so called application but it's not doing anything, what can i do to get it back.
I'm just trying to find out why my labtop keeps on turning of on me randomly. when it shuts down it resests itself and comes to the "you havnt shut down your computer corectly" screen. if i go on safe modes then i doesnt turn off, but i cant use all my stuff. i have recenly bout a cooler pad and some compressed air to blow it out but nothing seems to work
windows 7 alienware disc to install on my laptop and after installing it all my drivers are gone so i can't get on the internet wireless. i tried downloading the drivers from toshiba's website and transferring on a usb to my laptop and i couldn't get it to work. might be doing something wrong.
