I bought a LENOVO G560 laptop, initially my laptop was working just fine, but latter it started to dissatisfy me.I am facing a lot of problem, and most recently my display is going wrong. It abruptly flashes if I switch on my laptop for an hour.
I have a Linksys WRT54G2 router right outside of my room and i only catch 2 bars of signal strength. all the other laptops in my household catch excellent signal strength and their range is way farther than where my laptop is from my router.However when i place the laptop right next to the router it receives excellent strength, but as i move away it starts to lose signal. Sometimes it would disconnect at a random time also. my laptop is a dell studio 1555 running on windows 7 and my wireless card is a Dell Wireless 1397 802. 11g Half Mini Card.I'm thinking its the wireless card but i purchased a dell mini running on xp with the same exact wireless card and had no problem with the signal strength.
I am very curious to know how to connect a laptop display to another laptop display. I have an old laptop and a new laptop with windows 7. I did some extended displays to other monitors. But any one have any idea about extending to a Laptop display from another Laptop.
After having rather high hopes for SSD Performance...I'm disappointed.I'm glad I got a test unit, because if I would've shelled out the cabbage for this, I'd be a little PO'd.I have an 8300 Quad Core 2.5 Intel with 4GB of RAM running Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit.Instead of trying to clone the old drive, I did what I thought was right and did a fresh install.I loaded up MSE, Office 2010 and all Windows Updates.Did a couple of tweaks (made sure defrag was off, DMA mode on instead of PIO, disabled indexing)I have all the latest chipset, mobo, video, etc., drivers.Yes, it boots into Windows to the desktop faster. No doubt.Yes, it opens up windows faster and programs SOMETIMES as well.But it multitasks terrible. If I'm download, installing, etc., anything...and try to move program to program, it's slow. To the point I think it's freezing up.I've read a few of the tweaks here...and I'm missing something I think.It's an Imation 2.5" M series 64GB drive. I know it's not the Vertex 2...but it has pretty decent specs behind it. Not the best, but it should do everything my SATA platter drive does better...period.It doesn't.What should I be looking for? (It shipped with the latest firmware, and trim is turned on...not like that matters since I only installed Win7Pro fresh a few hours ago...)
I am using Windows Live Movie Maker & burning to a disc in Windows DVD maker. The images in the video are sharp in the downloaded video and in the preview frame in DVD maker but once burned to the disc and played back the faces of the people are quite blurry.
I'm having an ongoing wireless problem with my Windows 7 PC in that speeds are a lot slower than expected and I even get intermittent 'connected to network but no internet access' problems.I have two computers on my network: a Windows PC, and a Macbook. With the laptop my download speed is regularly 17mbps. But my PC can barely pass 7mbps. I ran speedtest with the laptop on the floor next to the PC so I know they both have the same line of sight to the router. My laptop also never drops the connection.This tells me that the router cannot be at fault and that it's setup correctly.I have the latest drivers for my PCI wireless adapter. Windows is up to date.Is it possible that the wireless adapter just isn't very good? (I bought it as it had good user reviews). Although it barely managers a signal strength higher than 2 bars (which according to Xirrus Wi-Fi Inspector is about -85dbm Very poor!).Is it likely that some adapters work better with some makes of router? I have a Netgear router and the adapter it TP-Link.
i am using wireless internet with my laptop pc in windows 7 i use a shared connection in my appartment and i have some problems now!:
1-i was using internet properly for months without problems
2-my wifi signal strengh was 3 at minimum and my connection speed was near 20 mbps always but from 2-3 days ago i have some problems like:
-my signal strengh is 1 or maximum 2 and
-my speed connection is only 2-3 mbps and sometimes even dissconnect severaly during connection
-i am not able to use the maximum speed like before with my laptop but this problem is only belong to my laptop i dont have same problem with my desktop pc(the only problem with desktop pc is the signal strengh)note:
*the router is in same position that it was before
*i have low speed even when i am behind the router (1 feet!)
*i only have this problem with my laptop,not with my pc and phone
I have Windows 7 (x64) build 7264 installed and encrypted on a 32GB SSD.
(I also have a 1TB drive for storage.)
I installed it about a week ago and lately it has been becoming sluggish and unresponsive at times. Mostly when loading webpages with lots of pictures or videos. I've tried 3 different browsers with the same result. When watching streaming video, it freezes randomly for a few seconds at a time when playing (but the video play bar shows that it's loaded way past the point where it freezes). I don't think it's my internet connection, because it's pretty fast (university) and I don't have these problems in ubuntu. Also, iTunes sometimes takes 5-10 seconds to gain window focus when I click on it.
I'm having trouble pinpointing where the problem lies. It's obviously not the memory. The processor does't seem to be under a heavy load (and it has 4 cores). Could it be the SSD somehow? It is one of the cheaper ones. My ubuntu installation is on the regular hd and works fine.
I have been having this very annoying problem for over 2 months now. I'm running windows 7 ultimate 64-bit and Most video on my pc looks very pixelated. I was able to get vlc to work correctly again with an update to the latest version and wmp seems to work fine too. I'm still having very low quailty video in my slingplayer, skype video and certain flash videos on the internet. I have been searching google for any possible solution like using an older video card driver, a vista driver, and adding codec's but nothing seems to work. I'm not really sure if it's an Nvidia,windows, or a flash problem.

my pc has 2 monitors plugged into it and i'm using ultramon I also have my cpu oc'd to 3ghz, so i put it back to stock speeds and still have the poor video qaulity so that wasn't it.
My Toshiba Satellite L750 laptop has been having trouble playing Flash video, and Windows takes an extremely long time to boot. Flash videos appear to drop every other frame at best, and the sound in every Flash element is extremely loud and distorted. When Windows boots, it appears to finish booting in a reasonable amount of time, but the antivirus software and some minor background processes do not load along with Windows. They do not load until two minutes after Windows appeared to finish booting. During this two-minute period, there is no CPU or hard drive activity. These two problems have occurred since Toshiba reinstalled Windows during their many attempts to repair this computer. This is the same computer that I started this topic about. What did they do to this computer?
I have recently bought a MS Wireless Mouse 5000, and the scroll wheel seems to be a bit flakey. It does not happen all the time, and seems to be worse in some applications (for instance, Safari), than others.
After a ton of speculation, a bit of denial, and a ton of testing we finally have our answer. The thermal interface material change made by Intel when it went from Sandy Bridge to Ivy Bridge is indeed the cause of the excessive temperatures weve observed while overclocking. The first accusation was made in late-April by Overclockers.com, however proving it wasn't easy. The Japanese division of PC Watch somehow managed to remove the integrated heat spreader from a Core i7 3770k, along with the stock binding and grease. They then proceed to replace it with aftermarket alternatives, and the results speak for themselves.
started when i downloaded some shady looking software off of a shady website got some bsod n my comp was randomly bsod-ing, norton keeps on popping up messages saying they blocked recent attempts to get into my system coming from what are obviously random generated urls (i went to one n norton got all at me) , but these are coming through my web browser, so i deleted all my browser files xept my important bookmarks n stuff and reinstalled Google chrome, but while reinstalling Firefox comp bsod'd halfway through so im not gonna install that google chrome wouldn't load up but i found some hack-ish thing to get it to load although i dont trust these login stuff on this website tried some i forget what its called command prompt input to fix corrupted files n tht may have stifled the bsod problem a bit, BUT i did a freaking full system scan with malwarebytes anti malware (cuz i dont trust norton cuz norton says this virus is trying to attack norton) and it found NOTHING.AND I HAVE HOMEWORK, well i guess i can do hw in safe mode, basically this is a problem tht comes n goes.
It sounds like everything is coming through a tube or from the other room. Especially bad on music with lyrics. The tune jumps out and the vocals sound like they're almost missing. With movies it's a bit better.I'm on a Asus U36JC, windows 7, 64*, with Realtek HD- which is where I'm guessing the problem lies...I've opened the Realtek HD Audio Manager and I notice that there are "sounds effects" that, when selected, makes the issue worse (seemingly in the same direction as the original issue) with effects like: "bathroom" and "cave". Yes I've turned that option to "none" and yes I've tried to adjust the EQ as well. No good.I've noticed that in my programs list, I've got 2 realtek programs running: "Realtek High Definition Audio Driver", and "Realtek Ethernet Controller Driver For Windows 7".
I am connecting a P2450H monitor via the HDMI cable and getting a very poor, fuzzy, flickering picture on the monitor. The laptop is an HP4525s with HDMI output. The VGA output into the montor is crisp and clean. I have tried all the resolution and colour options, but acnnot resolve the issueI have the latest digital driver installed.
I have a Microsoft Wireless Mouse 4000 that I frequently carry around. I would like to try using it to play games, but it has serious issues. Outside of a game, the mouse works perfectly fine. In game, the mouse jerks around and stutters, making it utterly impossible to use. It does not occur with any wired USB mouses.
Recently I have formatted my Usb External Harddisk with exFAT, as I heard of the benefits of it over FAT32. Its an IMATION Drive with 320gb storage. Device Properties: TOSHIBA MK3252GSX USB Device, The problem is that it takes forever to copy files from the drive as compared to when the format was FAT32. Currently, Im trying to backup all my files on my PC and I've been trying to copy out 60gb of Data that I started 10+ hours ago. The wierd thing is the progress bar moves a fraction and then stops for about 5mins before continuing the another fraction.
My Pc is working 100%, except for this annoying problem.when i hit print screen, go to paint and save it as png it shows 100% crisp and high resolution 1900*1200 If i edit the pic saved on my desktop in paint or photoshop it show perfect. but if i open it with windows 7 photo viewer or live gallery the dpi is very poor and the lettters are obscure.i right clicked the file and went to file details , i picked up paint does not store the dpi of the print screen on the file.all the other normal photos and images display perfect in photo viewer except the screen captures
Okay I been working on someone's laptop. It's. Dell Inspiron 1420. This one you might have seem problems with the GPU. But that a the Nvida one. This one has intel hd GPU. So heres the problem the laptop starts nothing on the screen hard drive light stays on for about 2 minutes. But screen has nothing in it. But only a few times I the screen works when you start it by pressing the Fn and holding it down when you press the power button. But it takes you to the dell testing center.
Was not sure where to post this but does kinda come under networking to some aspect.
I have a laptop with a VGA output.I have a PC which has 2xDVI outputs. I also have a VGA -> DVI output cable.
I can connect the 2 just find BUT how can I view the output of the PC to the laptop? So instead of having another monitor/display unit, I want the laptop to be able to see the output from the PC as if the PC were connected to a display unit.
I recently upgraded to an SSD. I moved windows 7 over to the new SSD and re-aligned the partition properly The drive setup is as follows:
2x 500GB WD Black drives in RAID 0 1x 120GB ADATA S510 SSD
In BIOS, RAID mode is enabled. You cannot enable RAID for one pair of drives and AHCI separately. I was assuming disks that are not part of the logical RAID volumes would be set to AHCI automatically. I have enabled NCQ in AMD RaidExpert for the SSD.WEI is 5.9 for the primary disk. The primary disk is the SSD.Other strange behanivour is that the RAID array and the SSD both appear as SCSI devices in device manager, and Windows won't accept the ahci drivers from ECS.
I am wondering if there is a way I could hook up my laptop to the tv network in my home so I could display the screens on a channel and then turn all the tv's to that channel and then the laptop display would be broadcasting on that channel
This is on a fairly new HP G72 running Win7/64. A soft drink was spilled on the keyboard, system ran fine after cleaning it up, then performed a scan and found malware. Removed the malware, rebooted and system boots to user logon no problem. After you log in, the screen flashes white for several seconds, then goes black/white quickly and then all black: no cursor, no nothing. A few seconds later you hear the Windows startup song.Connect an external monitor and you see the desktop perfectly. System shows no problem with driver, all settings look good, system can see both an LCD screen and the external as disply devices. Use the Fn-F4 key to cycle througn video outputs and it goes blank-blank-external. Once you get past the logon screen in Normal mode the LCD goes blank but the external VGA works a treat!Boot into BIOS, let it run 15 minutes and never lose the display. Boot into the Recovery Console and let it set and poke around for 15 minutes and it never lose the display. Boot to Safe mode and poke around for 15 minutes and never lose the display. Boot to Normal mode and after you logon the screen goes black but with the external VGA working perfectly.
Uninstall the video drive (Intel HD), delete the driver on the system and boot into Normal mode: the LCD works perfectly, no problems other than 800x600 resolution and 256 colors. Install the latest & greatest video driver for the system from HP, reboot to Normal mode and the screen goes blank after logon but the VGA still works great. In frustration I do a destructive restore, taking the system back to new-out-of-the-box condition and still get the same problem.Only thing I haven't done yet is a HDD reformat and OS reinstall from recovery discs. Trying to avoid that so I don't lose the recovery partition. Don't know if this is a rootkit/bootkit problem but my next step is to try rebuilding the MBR and BCD. If that doesn't work all I can think of is reformat/reload.Doesn't all this look like a software problem? I want to think it's hardware (remember the soft drink spill) but if the LCD video works in BIOS, and works in Recovery Console, and works in Safe mode but *only* fails in Normal mode with both the OEM and latest drivers, doesn't that really point to the OS?
I have a Toshiba Satellite C655-S5142 & Toshiba tells me the video card supports TV out. One article tells me all I need is a VGA to s-video adapter, but that doesn't work. (E-How) Another article tells me the jack on my computer must match the jack on my TV. (Windows.microsoft.com).
Too new to computers to know if this is needed to answer my question, but Windows 7 & Google Chrome.
Is what I'm attempting possible, or is it time to break down and get with the program with a HDTV ?
A few months ago my HP laptop stopped displaying background pictures. I can change the color of the background, but doesn't change if I tell it to do a slideshow or use a picture from my hard drive, and when I try to change the themes it only changes the look of the windows and the default sounds. I looked it up and found a few other people having similar problems
I'm a visual artist and I use a program called ArKaos for AV installations and nightclub visuals. I'm thinking of building a HTPC to take around with me as my laptop is not quite powerful enough for the work I do. I was thinking of using the laptop as a reference monitor for the HTPC using Remote desktop over LAN but I've run into some issues trying to set it up at home on my main PC. When I run Remote desktop I loose the ability to select which display is being used for full screen in ArKaos.
- This is what the display preferences look like without Remote Desktop: - And this is what I see when I'm running Remote Desktop:
I have extremely little knowledge of Remote Desktop so I don't know how it handles display drivers but it would seem it uses it's own driver (RDPDD) when it's active. Is there anyway around this, all I want to do is have my laptop displaying ArKaos' clip view and have my second GPU output running to a projector.
