I searched on internet to find a free software that can save the internet consumption of each computer on my network and I didn't find anything.
Is there a software that can achieve this? I am not looking for a bandwidth monitor that show your consumption in KB/s. I want something that show your consumption per day. Like 2GB first day, 1GB second day, etc...
My Presario CQ62-214NR came packaged with 2GB of RAM. When I began installing games on it, I discovered that Windows eats 3/4 of that memory for use with other software. How to change the usage, since the computer's boot menu doesn't have an option to do so.How to reduce the memory usage down to about 512MB.
Windows Media Player has been behaving very badly and I'm desperate for help.
I want to uninstall the damn appliation but cant' even see a way to do so in
Uninstall programs.
Here is what it is doing now. right now in taskmanger wmplayer32 is eating up nearly
2 gigabytes of RAM. My system has 4 installed. 78 percent of my total RAM is consumed by Win 7 due to media center.
CPU usage goes totally ape and swaps to 100 percent on one core and 50 percent
and higher overall with both cores.
I can get control of my pc which as you can imagine slows to a crawl, by opening
task manager and attempting to kill the damn windows media center and player process's.
THis usually terminates the problem and I get the RAM back and CPU averages the normal few percent.
However if I open media center again to say watch TV it goes ape**** again.
I've never been a fan of MS Media center and of course always used VLC and the ilk to watch vids. However when I migrated to Windows 7 the media center crap was more or less forced on me.
If I can find a fix I'll keep it but if not I'm far more inclined to totally remove
all of MS MEdia center from Win 7 if at all possilbe. IT is a nightmare sytem hog and
a poorly behaved app.
Course that comes back to my first statement I CAN"T FIND A WAY TO REMOVE THE GD MEDIA CENTER.
I am using Windows 7 and Chrome, no Antivirus or Firewall. I have a problem - when I download my files from Rapidshare (others hostings seems to be working) to disk D (not system disk), when file is downloaded, I go to folder and I see nothing. I have used a Windows Search, Windows Brandmawer is off. No viruses.
I cant download anything, it just disappears, no matter what browser im using.Ive checked and reset all the security settings. Control panel - reset, custom, set to low medium, enable downloads. Nothing works.When in chrome, it downloads and then i clicked it to open and it just says windows cannot find the file, and in the download tab it shows it as removed. It downloads, then disappears all the time.In IE, it says when security settings dont allow the file to be downloaded and it wont even attempt to download.And in mozilla the thing comes up that says open and save as, so i click save and the little download box appears in the corner and before it can even start, it says cancelled. So i click retry, it downloads, then i go to open and its NO Where to be found.No browser downloads, so its not my IE/mozilla/Chrome settings, theres something else going on, its driving me insane. It happened after i downloaded some torrents, then upon the next restart i think it just stopped working. Avast and Malwarebytes find nothing!
History only saves visits to files etc. on the computer, not anything visited on the web. I've tried to find the answer in older posts but all I found was this.
I've had this problem for years, since first upgrading to Internet Explorer 9 and Windows 7.
After 2-3 weeks, Internet Explorer starts randomly choosing to disclude sites from its history, before reaching a point where it simply stops recording history. Yes, I HAVE all the settings properly adjusted so that it does not delete history upon exit, has an entire gigabyte of disk space reserved just for history, 400 days set to keep history, and it still ends up being a bi-monthly thing of me having to delete the history.
I've gone through countless sites and forums looking for answers, History function not working in Internet Explorer 8 - Microsoft Answers Why has history not been working in IE 9 for the last few days? - Microsoft Answers IE 9 is not saving my browsing history. - Microsoft Answers
NOTHING works for me, not deleting index.dat and such.
I cant seem to save any file every time I download a program from the internet to my c drive (specifically under program file folder)- keep on prompting need permission from the administrator. I tried the cmd command still not working.
I recently upgraded from XP to Win7. Now, when I have a file download or attachment, either in Outlook or any browser, it takes me to the File Save window. Before I could simply click on the attachment and it would open (unless it couldn't figure out what kind of file it was). This is a real pain when viewing pictures attached to an email. I've looked everywhere and can't find this issue addressed in any documentation. I've had Win 7 in the past and this didn't happen.
I recently built a new PC and got windows 7 64 bit up and running. However, I can't seem to install programs to my SSD. When I try to install a program, I get this message "You don't have permission to save in this location. Contact the administrator to obtain permission," but I'm the only who uses this PC and I checked to make sure I was the admin and I am.
I also have two drives if that means anything. I tried to install the programs to my C drive, which is my SSD. Installing programs to my D drive seems to work fine, which is my HDD. My SSD has the OS on it.
I have a desktop with Windows 7 64bit prof. and a laptop with the same. I have setup the homegroup and I am able to access all files on the laptop from the desktop and vice-versa. My problem is, my wife who uses the desktop wants to save new documents in the laptop which I use when in the office. for example: wife got an email on the desktop with an attached document that she wanted to save in the 'my documents' folder on my laptop. So when she selects save as and then selects the location on my laptop through the homegroup connection she gets the error message saying you need permission to to this, we tried it the other way by trying to save a document onto the desktop from the laptop and got the same message.
I am not an expert by any means with this sort of thing so if the replies could be as simple and clear as possible, cheers.
I was wondering, I'm very OCD and I like to keep my computer clean of any unwanted files.When you plug in a USB does it save any files/hidden files to your computer HDD?When you clean all/format a USB does it save any backups or anything to your computer HDD?I'm just quite autistic and I want to know what happends when you plug USBs in
I bought a new CPU and Motherboard today and put them together. I'm assuming I plugged the wires properly. So far no beeps when i start the computer but the fans are working and the LED lights light up. The monitor says "power saving" everytime I start it up. I have windows 7 32 bit installed on my hard drive and was planning to format it into windows 7 64 bit but I can't when my computer won't even start.
I save a lot of pictures onto my HD. I had this problem with XP as well, but am having it again with Windows 7 Pro 64. After a little while, IE will only allow me to save the files as .bmp and they lose the filename--which is replaced as "untitled".
I know this has to do with the temporary internet cache size. What do you guys keep your cache size at (the default is 50mb)?
The recommended fix is just to delete temporary internet files, but when I do this, I lose cookies and stuff and have to re-enter forum passwords.
Even if I go into IE tools and delete history---if I deselect cookies and keep the box checked for "keep cookies on favorite websites" I sometimes have to reenter passwords and usernames into forums. Also--even though I have temporary internet files deleted...they do not delete when I close IE....does this feature only pertain to the actual browsing history?
XP was to deselect the "do not save encrypted pages to disk" box. Is this safe? How can I fix this problem so I can save picture files as their original file type like .gif .jpg or whatever?
I changed via the dialog the TEXT SIZE via the screen resolution in the control panel to CUSTOM SIZE.With one of the newer "Cinema" or Very Wide screen (1680 X 900) displays after I'd increased the text size to over 160 % I didn't get the possibility to SAVE any documents any more via the SAVE AS button. The SAVE dialog would appear but the SAVE button was missing.The effect was noticed in Office 2007 (all programs) Notepad etc etc.Seems to be a Windows fault as this should not be allowed to happen.on more traditional "Squarer" type monitors -- no problem.
Is there any way to set the default save location folder for downloads in IE8 to the last folder that the same file type was saved in? It makes no sense to default to a single folder and have to browse through to the desired folder for every single download, so I assume there has to be an option somewhere.
Whats happening is every time his girlfriend turns on her computer (its a little acer aspire d255) it automatically connects wirelessly to their network. And as soon as it does it kicks his computer off the internet and it is a wired connection. I played around with some router and firewall settings and I got it so that his computer will reconnect after a while but it still disconnects every time the acer tries to connect. They said they tried it at there parents and the acer connects fine and doesn't cause any issues there.
Both computers running win 7 and he has a linksys router.
My computer will go off the internet after a few minuets use, i have called my provider, dell and mircosoft. afer hours of waiting and a new mother board it still does the same thing
I inserted a blank CD to add music into, using iTunes 10 (maybe 11).It did the job but all of the music were incomplete and the lengths were like 8 or 6 seconds.I tried to format the CD but it didn't work.Then I got angry and smashed the keyboard, and it froze.I force shut the laptop WITH THE CD STILL INSERTED and ejected it, then turned it on again.Windows started Startup Repair and it finishes, then restarted.And again Startup Repair ran again, then it told me it can fix the problem in a new dialog box.My computer is not connected to the Internet and I'm using a substitute computer to type this.A box in the dialog box showed the following text: [code] I closed the dialog box and it told me: (translated from Japanese, may not be that accurate.)
If you connected devices such as cameras or portable music players to this computer, please ejected them and then restart the computer. If this message keeps appearing, please ask the administrator or the manufacturer of the computer.Then I click Finish to restart.And again Startup Repair showed up, and the same message showed up.I clicked something like Show Restore System Option to restore the system, but it says the restore point is broken during restoration, and when I try to restore the system again, it still doesn't work.
Is it possible to have a computer connected to a LAN (via a router/switch) but not connected to the Internet, being that the Internet signal comes via that router/switch?
My Internet connection has been very shaky these past few day and now it refuses to work on either of my computers except for Skype on the wireless connection of my laptop.
The main desktop is connected to the router and modem yet can't access the Internet, with a "no Internet access" sign, while the laptop says it IS connected yet I can only use Skype.
