Is it OK to remove RAM to take some details about it - or should I not touch it unless absolutely necessary? I'm not a total newbie, but I just want to check, as I'm wanting to find out how much RAM each card has, as I have four sockets, and they are all full and I currently have 6GB of RAM (My MB supports 8GB, so I might be upgrading sometime, but I want to get some info on my current RAM, without using programs like Everest or AIDA64 (Also, I'd like to take a few photos - which is another reason for removing it..) Also, I'd take it it's just like any other part of my PC - Touching my PC to ground myself is OK in this case?
I have removed all the album art (pictures) using mp3tag and now there are no images showing in map3tag. I have also deleted VLC player's album art cache. I also made sure that no folders were hidden having those images by showing system protected hidden folders and all. But I don't know from where vlc again get the album art. I don't know where those images are. I removed them from mp3tag, mp3tag does not show them anymore.
They are not hidden anywhere, I checked everywhere. I cleared VLC album art cache which was hidden earlier and also run ccleaner. If I select vlc to load album art manually in privacy setting under interface. Than it does not show. But my concern is that when i have nowhere those images in my pc from where vlc get them. I want to see album arts but not for all songs, few are bad looking. How to find out where are those images.
Is there a way to collect all the links on a web page using Windows 7 (and preferably Chrome)?
For example, I want to send a tutoring student a link to all the angles worksheets which are linked to on this page.
Now, I could get each one by right-click, copy address, tab to my email window, and paste. But there are about 36 links I want (and I don't want to send a link to the page, so they don't have to look for what's needed). How can I collect them into one _something-or-other_ which I can paste into an email?
I tried DownThemAll, but it will only download the files. I merely want the links.
Had a crash about 5 to 10 minutes after boot. How long does it take to collect the data for a minidump on a 600GB dual Core? In other words when after a crash , is it safe to turn ? I cannot locate the latest minidump!
Is it possible to use Server 2008 R2, a Windows 7 workstation, or some software to collect the events logged in the Action Center on our Windows 7 clients? Also, is it possible to collect the events logged in the Reliability Monitor (View reliability history) from our Windows 7 clients.I am interested in aggregating this information in a central location i.e. on a server/workstation, which our administrators have access to. Is this possible when using System Center Configuration Manager? A smaller scale solution would be preferred as we only have around 120 clients.
So I work IT at my current workplace and I was wondering if I can install and use the Dell x64 disc on a machine that was purchased with an x86 installation. These are OEM discs. I can just try it but would like to see if anyone knew about this.
As I am finishing up researching different parts for my gamer, A horrifying thought: I forgot to add in an operating system! I just hate to have to spend another 100 dollars for one but I know I have to. Any ways to get one cheaper? keep in mind that it is a gamer, so I will need to get a recent one. NOTE: I do not exactly make money as fast as other people, (I am 13) so keep in mind an extra 100 could set me back months.
I ripped my personal CD collection to .WAV as I have the space and thought it was best quality. I used WMP. Everything ripped fine for a while, the first song of each album kept 'losing' its track information. I would use the Find Album Info feature of WMP to fix this. Track info currently displays perfect in Windows Media Player Library or when browing using Windows Media Center. However, if I view the files in Windows Explorer, or use another program like Winamp to play the files (which i generally prefer), the first track of all my ripped CDs in WAV format has no track information, Unknown Album, title, even tho' it displays fine in WMP Library. I cannot EDIT the track in Windows Explorer, and I can't find a track editor freeware that supports .WAV.
I regularly download useful programs and archives etc and would like to be able to add and edit info that shows up when you hover your mouse over the file. Generally downloaded archives etc are not very descriptive and I would like to add stuff to help me remember why I downloaded it in the first place!
802.11n wireless router: is this hardware supported by all windows operating systems?I am planning to buy one for my brother, he is using windows XP. I am using Windows 7, and my brother in-law is using windows Vista. We all play WoW or Heroes of Newerth together in my bro's house. So I am wondering if this would work for all the three computers. Also my brother who has XP is using a Desktop.Does it need any Wireless adapters for it to recognize the signal from the router?

I just updated my windows. Unfortunately, when I did that, something strange happened. Now I cannot right click or delete icons on my desktop. When I right click on an icon on the desktop, I have less choices than normal (cannot rename, deletesee properties, ect). I cannot see anything in my control panel, my computer folder shows up, however there are no words, just pictures.
Installed win7 a few days ago and today when booting up all of my desktop icons are gone. everything is still in the c:/users/%user%desktop folder, but nothing will show up on the actual desktop.
I would like to rename and delete items that I D&Ded to the start menu Games menu (right panel) of W7.Rt clk does not list those options. Where can I find these .lnk shortcut files to modify them?
I am looking to delete the information from when I save a picture from the net. Like when you click picture save as and it opens a new box and you type in the new file name...The file name is what i'm trying to delete. I tried cleaning the browser and used ccleaner but didn't help.
I have two computers both windows 7, one has a program on it that I would like to be able to see and work on in the other computer if poss. what is the easiest way to do this?
Recently my music files [it might be with other types of files too, I haven't checked] have somehow changed the security setting so that I can't do anything with them, I can't edit the info in iTunes and I can't delete the files. About the only thing I can do is move the file. I have figured out how to fix this problem one by one with each file (going into properties, security tab, and changing the permissions), however, I've only been able to do this one by one and with each new file the same problem persists. Is there any way I can change some sort of setting or something that allows me to have full control over all files? I am the sole user of the computer, therefore I am the administrator.
I was trying to get into a hidden subfolder to delete a file from a old program. It asked for admin person's. I hit Ok and it look about 10min for windows to update the folder. The problem is that after that now all my folders in my profile are gone. My music, pictures, and everything. I rebooted and loged back in but they are still all gone. How can I my profile folders back? I know there is just something I need to uncheck. I can see that all the information is still in my laptop because checking my HD space I see that nothing was deleted since I have over 50gigs of music.
Although it works fine on Foxfire, from time to time on IE, when I enter information in search/entry boxes, it all of a sudden prevents from continuing to type & make it very hard(like very slow to recover) after that to finish what I want to type in these boxes or shuts down the window completely(not responding).
After deleting atdmt, IE9 stopped remembering all my logon information for all web pages. I have search the web for a solution but have not fixed the problem. I created a new user profile and it then remembered the logon info. Is there a way to copy all my old desktop icons and settings to my new user profile?
I login as John (account type = Administrator) on my Windows 7 Home Premium. My computer System Name is HomePC.When I launched the "System Information" via msinfo32.exe, why does it show the "User Name" as HOMEPCuser instead of HOMEPCJohn
Anyhow, my wife has a few facebook accounts and to move from one account to another she would just click on the login box and it would show all the accounts so that she would just click on which one she wanted to use. That worked great on her old laptop (windows 7, 32 bit), but on this new window 7 laptop it acts really strange.Sometimes she clicks in the login box and all the accounts are there so all she has to do is click login. Then the next time maybe just one or two of the accounts showIt is really random and doesn't seem to have a pattern.I checked her saved passwords and all three accounts are in there.
