Switched OS To SSD
Dec 15, 2011Basically, I built myself a new Gaming PC. I decided to get a SSD purely for gaming while using two older 500GB Caviar Blue HDDs. They were rather slow and boot up was probably around 1 minute + loading closer to 3 minutes. So I installed the OS on the SSD. Boot and loading is now about 4 second, it's amazing! But my problem is, I want to use the SSD for the OS and maybe a select game or two.
Currently everything is on my other 500GB HD which is where I would like to leave it. But the problem is loading everything or launching programs. Is it possible to keep my OS on the SSD and not have it as the C: drive?
Can I get around not having to reinstall everything so it works again? Hope I'm being clear in my goal!
Just in case, an example would be I want to play BF3, I go to my (F drive (which used to be my (C) and try to launch the game. But it doesn't work anymore obviously.
The other thing is I don't want to be forced to install programs on the SSD which never give the option to select the installation location. (Also when using the start menu the shortcuts to everything typically relate to the C: drive)
I'm sure people have done this! I also still have the OS on my 500GB HD as well if that helps, figure it wouldn't hurt to leave on there just in case!
Switched Off Toolbar By Mistake?
Sep 2, 2010We've just got a laptop with Win7 installed our desktop has XP. When surfing there are a load of toolbars at the top of the screen so I've been trying to switch off the ones we won't use as it reduces the usable screen size. Unfortunately I've switched off the toolbar where the option to switch on or off toolbars is situated, ie I can't now turn it back on again!The other toolbar with a 'Tools' drop down doesn't have that option. Now what do I do please?Associated with this, when using XP I was able to have more than one toolbar on the same row - but I can't work out how to do that on Win7

Jun 7, 2009This one is new in build 7201. Whenever I switch my monitor off, the entire system restarts. This happens every time.
I did have nVidia driver problems with the older builds, but I could always revert to the default driver. However this time, the default driver was already giving me issues, periodically going into BSOD. I decided to download the latest beta from nVidia hoping it would at least solve the random BSOD.
Well... it did. But it gives me a the issue I mention in the subject.

Switched HDD From One PC To Another Now Wont Boot?
Oct 23, 2012I just switched my old HDD to my Gateway computer and I'm getting BSOD when starting up Windows. I know it has something to do with the drivers and Windows 7 from the HDD being in a new Computer, but how do I reformat without losing some of my old files like music and such? I tried repairing the system, but it didn't work. I do have a Windows 7 CD, is it possible that I can wipe out the old Windows from my HDD using killdisk and install windows 7 again?

View 7 Replies View RelatedNorton Internet Security Has Been Switched Off?
Apr 13, 2012I have Windows 7 home 64bit and I use the 2012 version of Norton Internet Security.Over the last few days the Action Center keeps telling me that NIS has been switched off and raising issues about antispyware, antivirus and the firewall. NIS is sitting there telling me that everything is secure.
I don't think there is a major issue but it is very irritating. I can resolve it for today by going into NIS, switching everything off and then back on again. So it looks like something has gone wrong with the communication between Windows and NIS at start up.

Do I need to do a complete windows 7 reinstall or do you think the motherboard is faulty?

May 9, 2012I've just switched from IE9 to Google chrome, as some websites didn't load right in IE 9 even with compatibly mode enabled. The only thing I don't like about chrome is that if you download a file it automatically saves it, where in IE9 you had the option to save it, or just open it. Is it possible to achieve that in chrome, as some stuff i download i don't need saved, and i hate having to go through my download and delete stuff.

Nov 8, 2012how to log out users that are idle on Windows 7? I work for a company that has computers in general areas, anyone can walk up and login and use it for business.

I was thinking that we could use the group policies that are used for terminal services to log out after being idle for x amount of time.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHDD Light Keeps Blinking?
Oct 8, 2011I have recently obtained a laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium installed. This is the first time I'm using Windows 7.My HDD light on the laptop keeps blinking, even when I'm not doing anything, just staring at the desktop. I don't notice anything on the performance, everything seems to run fineOne thing I was immediately aware of is how Windows 7 seems to run a lot of processes in the background; indexing, defragging, etc... I have turned these off, along with stuff like WDefender,Firewall, my hdd light still keeps blinking.I have also noticed that googling this issue reveals lots of results with mixed replies. Some say HDD light is supposed to be blinking and/or this is completely normal, others say it might be an issue.Just as I was writing this, I also downloaded a gadget for monitoring hdd: Drives Meter. Looking at the graph, the hdd doesn't seem to be doing much. It usually stays on %0, just some little activity here and there... Yet the light is blinking on a heartbeat rate. Bear in mind, I am running Comodo+Eset at the background; however, for comparison, on my PC (running XP Pro) which also runs Comodo+Eset, there is no blinking whatsoever.

View 1 Replies View RelatedBlu-ray Playback Is Too Light
Oct 12, 2012My only way of watching my blu-rays is on my computer. I've been using PowerDVD 11 Ultra for a while without significant problems. I recently noticed, however, that it was stopping playback during movies, simply pausing and then crashing. I decided to reinstall in the hope of getting smooth playback. After doing so, I had a new problem: all blu-ray video was now very light, forcing all darks to be gray, instead. I should note that I have a Radeon 5770 card and Catalyst's video settings are disabled to allow the player to function without interference (Catalyst 12.6). Despite that, however, PDVD still just gives me gray blacks. I tried downloading TotalMedia Theater and WinDVD trial versions to find a program that works right. To my shock and horror, I have the exact same problem with them, too. What is wrong with the blu-ray playback that has caused programs to play incorrectly? I am convinced that the problem is not related to my computer. One moment, everything was fine. The next moment, everything was bugged. Please note that all other video looks perfect, whether it be DVD, video files, or online videos with my Catalyst settings applied to them.Does anyone have any ideas as to what is going on? Does Blu-Ray software actually work right on computers? I noticed that the Cyberlink forums have plenty of people talking about this same issue happening with PDVD12. Considering that I had the exact problem with the other two programs, I think this goes beyond software developers.

Sep 18, 2012One big issue for me in Windows 7 after XP is that text in browser windows (like in IE9, Firefox and Thunderbird) lacks contrast - it's a pale grey rather than the black I had in the same apps in XP. Actually this text is pale grey as I type it.This seems to be "global" and no amount of fiddling in the apps themselves does any good. There was never any problem in XP.I'm using an Aero theme, but I've tried a basic theme and tried chaning the window colours manually.

View 9 Replies View RelatedAC Indicator Light Stuck On?
Jul 7, 2012I pulled apart my HP dv6t 6000 Quad Edition last night to clean a year's worth of dust accumulation out of it. While I was quite impressed at how sturdy the construction of the laptop was (22 good, strong screws holding in the top cover alone), I put it back together and the orange indicator light is stuck ON (the one that says if the AC cable is plugged in or not) even if it's not plugged in! So, I pulled it back apart and re-checked the power connector cable, and everything was fine and in place. It goes on even if the laptop is turned off. As long as the battery is in, that orange light turns on.
The orange light is only supposed to come on if the AC is plugged in and the battery is charging. Also, if I plug in the AC cable, it light turns off. I never actually removed the power connector cable from the system board, so there's no way it got turned around. Could this be caused, however, if another plug somewhere got turned around? For further reference, here is the manual I used. [URL]. I went as far as removing the system board.
Items I did not remove are as follows:
Power button board
Fingerprint reader board
Speaker assemblies (front and back)
(My laptop has no bluetooth module, so that's irrelevant)
USB Board
Power connector cable
USB And Ethernet Light Not Working?
Oct 11, 2012I have a dell Inspiron from 2010 desktop of and today when I turned it on it went through all the boot up sequence normally. I try to login but I can't the USB mouse or keyboard are lighting up since the mouse is a laser and the keyboard has the num lock light. I go to the back and check and see if my Ethernet light is on its off. I pulled out my USB and tried the one in the front no luck. When I enter bios the keyboard works. Also I turned off the computer holding the button unfortunately. I pulled the plug out and held the power button for 30 seconds to drain the on board battery. When I turned it back on I had no luck both the keyboard and mouse were not working and the Ethernet light is still off. One more thing my PSU has always had a small led on it it always lit up green and it still was.

Feb 25, 2011I have just updated Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate to SP1, and my HDD light is constantly flickering? There is no discernable differnce in the performance of windows and it boots and runs fine, it's just that the light is a bright neon blue colour and is very distracting!It happens from the moment my desktop appears or when being online like I am now typing this. Can ANYONE please shed some light on this matter? I am at my wits end LOL!!!A friend did tell me that turning off SUPERFETCH in the list of running services might work. I did this when I originally bought and installed 7 as I was having the same problem then, this time however, it's not had ANY difference, I still get a BRIGHT blue light constantly dancing beneath my eyes.
