I just bought the retail dvd of Halo 2 and I'm trying to install it on Windows 7.The install pops up a message box that says Quote: "This computer's performance information has not been created.You should create performance information on this computer before running Halo 2 for Windows Vista.Click Start, Control Panel, System and Maintenance, and Performance Information and Tools." and the installation stops when I hit 'Run' anyway.But I have done a performance test to create a score of 5.9. I have a quad core i7 with 12 gig of ram and a 2gig Nvidia graphics card. It seems Halo 2 just doesn't recognise the performance information.I've searched but I haven't found anyone else who has had this problem.I can't believe Microsoft seems to have locked this game into Vista-specific requirements - that violates the basic future-proofing principles that Microsoft has been espousing to programmers for years.
I'm trying to get rid of the pop-up that Internet Explorer gives that tells me that I can speed up my browsing by disabling add-ons. All the googling I've done tells me to run gpedit.msc and go to Administrative Templates Windows Components Internet Explorer and enable "Disable add-on performance notifications". I've run gpedit.msc and searched through the options, and no-where can I find "Disable add-on performance notifications". The only option that mentions add-ons is "Do not allow users to enable or disable add-ons". I've opened that up just in case the option I want is hidden within that, but it doesn't seem to beI run Windows 7 64 home premium (I followed some instructions I found on the net to enable gpedit.msc as it is generally only available on Windows 7 Professional) and Internet Explorer 9.
My boss had me upgrade a co-worker's home computer from Windows XP to 2007. I made the mistake of not doing a clean backup of all the documents and other information.eedless to say, the upgrade wiped away all the software and the setup from before. Working with the co-worker, most of the programs have been restored, but there are two issues that right now are the most pressing, which concern Microsoft Outlook and Itunes.The co-worker had a series of older e-mails and contacts saved in Outlook that are obviously no longer there after the upgradeAs far as ITunes, there is a folder for MyMusic but only what appears to be one large file document for the music. What confused me in this instance was that there were 3 songs that were not recently downloaded in that folder. If the co-worker plugs in his Ipod to charge it, will he lose the tracks there? I advised him to contact Apple to look into his account and recover any songs that he downloaded.
I'm selling a Dell Vostro 320, OS Windows XP and would like to know how to remove personal info. I created a new administrator account and deleted the old one where the personal info was stored.
What information is in the ntuser.dat file? Is is simply profile information or does it contain information about browsing as well? I use ccleaner to delete the .dat files in the temp internet file area, but I don't want to have browsing history, especially accounts, exposed someplace else.
Whenever I try download file in IE 9 a information bar appears in the bottom of the page asking whether want to save/open/cancel the download. Is there any way by which it can be disabled. I could not find any option even in security->custom settings. Do I have to do through Registry Editor
i usually record PC games using fraps and it got me thinking to how do people record console footage and then put it on the computer.The problem is i dont know the first thing about gaming capture cards and how they work, i do know however that some of them are PCI cards.
1. if a console is connected to a T.V how is the footage captured from the console to a PC?
2. Does using capture cards also provide audio or do you need certain cables (3.5 jacks, hdmis, etc)
I keep getting this message which says that Additional log on information is required.Sometimes i get this message when i boot windows or sometimes when i logoff and log into windows again.
basically sometimes when im downloading a file using IE 8. it goes to save as i can pick location to save my file.sometimes it just hangs on getting file information and times out. ( thought the link was dead ) then used IDM - internet download manager it works.tried same link on firefox it works...wondering why sometimes IE 8 hangs on getting file information? Last i remember was doing some registry tweaks, already reinstalled windows 7, ran uniblue's registry.have reset internet settings, checked security settings tab aswell. no firewall, not my eset nod32 antivirus blocking.
I have Windows 7 OS and Microsoft Office 2010 programs installed on my company computer. I need to fill out the Metafile as much as possible. Each time I bring up the Properties under the File tab it has the Company listed as Hewlett-Packard (my computer manufacturer). Where can I go in the Registry to change this or how can I change this to show my company's name permanmently, instead of the HP name. This happens on all of the MS Office 2010 (Word, PowerPoint,Excel, etc.) newly opened files.
I am trying to change power setting but I got a message "Your power plan information isn't available." I will download a game that will take me like 8 hours. I'm about to sleep already and decided to change power setting and sleep option but options are not available. I activated the account administrator and have 2 account administrators. I logged in on the account administrator and got no option. Same as with the other account. What should I do?
I need a software which could save the information when a file is copied from my system to a flash drive, when a person logs into the system, when a person uses internet...I need it for all applications used by the user to be logged in that software.
today i installed an ssd into my dell 435t.windows has installed no problem.i am keeping the old HD in the system, and currently it has all of the old information on it.is there a way to simply migrate all of the information from the old HD to the new SSD? i plan to knock out the partitions and reformat the old drive when i am satisfied.can it be simple as borrowing a restore point from the old disK?
One of my computers has a virus. I want to erase all the information from that computer (computer A) and replace it with the information from my other computer (computer B) is this possible. They both run windows 7 but they are two different computers...
I'm getting random BSOD with igdkmd.sys mentioned.. I don't get the blue screen long enough to get all the information but I managed to get that.I have a Lenovo Thinkpad R61i, I used to have XP but I recently replaced it with Win 7. I've been getting these random crashes since the install. Actually it's only sometimes I get the blue screen.. More often it just goes blank and unresponsive and I have to power down manually.I did a check through the Intel website's driver checker and it says that the driver is up to date. Driver Max also says it is up to date (I think it is the "Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset" isn't it?) . Lenovo's site and software are useless and don't tell me anything.
I get this when i try to install windows 7 on my old laptop.Windows could not set the offline locale information. Error code: 0x80800000 tried searching online for this error, but found nothing. the laptop was dropped before. fell on its power cord side. I decided to reformat and this is the error i get.
So, I was running SpaceSniffer, an application that scans my hard drive and displays where the most memory is being used up, and I found something extremely interesting. My Recycle Bin on the desktop is empty, as it should be since I just emptied it. However, the Recycle Bin folder within System Volume Information is occupying 199.9 GB of my space.
I am having an issue with some of the sites i got to like wowhead, facebook to name a couple where they only load the template but not the actual information. I attached a picture of what I mean. Things I have tried so far is disabling firewall for a moment and reloading the page this did nothing, have tried loading on firefox, chrome, and IE (most recent versions of all) It has been about 2 weeks that I started noticing it and its becoming very frustrating. I also tried reinstalling flash player as that is the only thing that has been changed in the last two weeks on my computer.
