Software Supplied With The CanoScan 9000F Is Limiting In The Size Of Scan?
Jan 6, 2012
The software supplied with the CanoScan 9000F is limiting in the size of scan you can make. It limits the file size to 100MB. That is quite ridiculous in this day and age of 64 bit OSs, 16GB RAM, and so on.
I want to run Folding at Home (FAH), but I don't want the FAH process to take up 100% of my CPU (6 core, 3.7Ghz) because it runs really loud and I don't want it to burn out the CPU and fan. Is there any programs I can schedule to run at login and silently limit it in the background? I found the program BES, but you have to re-configure which process to target every time you log in. I know I can change the Affinity of the process, but running BES at 50% runs a LOT quieter than running half the cores.
my windows 7 has 4GBs of physical memory available tho it seems to often times only use about 3GB the thing is that as i use it, it will go above 3GB and then back down without me closing anything, what i figure its doing is limiting programs sense when this starts to happen programs like chrome will swap tabs to blank white pages and load up them vary slow, i assume this has be a memory restriction and it also makes alot of other programs tend open back up really slow and have random lag hick ups, thing is why won't windows just let them use the ram they need and fill the about 1GB ram i have left available ? also the resource manager says almost all the unused ram is on stand-by
I recently got my new dell laptop, and windows 7 home premium dvd both supplied and pre installed on it. i tried installing the same windows 7 on my old laptop but it did not boot. is it even possible to boot from the dvd, or is it protected by some software? or do i just need to create a new dvd? am not really bright in computers, but if u can explain properly, i'll comprehend.
I've noted that Firefox has an about:config (browser.download.manager.addToRecentDocs) setting that is supposed to make it not put the downloads into the Recent Items list (I dislike how downloads clog it up). However, it doesn't work.
If I open the download, then it won't show up but that's a poor workaround. The question is if there's a per-program method to determine what will go into the Recent Items list or am I up the creek without a paddle?
Over the last weekend I installed a new hard drive into my system, and on that drive installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64. Over the past week I have been tweaking my settings, resolving issues, and installing programs.So far everything is working fine, except for the fact that when I shut down, there is still some power being supplied to my motherboard (NumLock indicator does not turn off, and if I open the case the power LED on the motherboard is illuminated). This does not happen when I shut down from Windows XP (I have a dual-boot configuration; XP is on my smaller hard drive).
1. I have gone into my BIOS and disabled all the relevant power management settings (as far as what devices can wake the system, etc.).
2. I have gone through my Windows 7 power management settings and disabled/changed all settings that seemed relevant.
3. I have gone through my device manager and made sure that, for all devices that have a power management tab in their properties, the check box that says something like "Allow the computer to turn off this device when shutting down" (or something like that) is selected. Yes, even for the firewire port. There are some items for which the check box is greyed out and cannot be selected (such as the keyboard).
Here are the only things that I think may have an impact that I have NOT done:
1. Installed the chipset drivers for my motherboard in Windows 7. I have not done this because: a) other than powering down, everything else works fine; and b) I am not sure which driver package I should install (due to the mixed northbridge and southbridge chipsets on my motherboard).
My niece got a Toshiba laptop on Christmas, and now it is messed up from a virus. It's a Toshiba C655D-1087 that came loaded with Win7 Home 64 bit. No CDs came with it. Toshibas' website does have all of the drivers available on-line. I cannot find anywhere to download Win7 so that I can do a HDD wipe and reformat/ re-install. The Win7 product key code is affixed to the bottom of the unit, Just need a valid way to obtain the OS for a clean install. I personally have Win7 Pro 64 bit, but I don't believe that I can use that with a 7 Home key.
When I marked a whole folder or a couple of files in Windows Explorer in Windows XP then the sum/total size of all marked files is (was) shown in the status bar in the bottom of the WinExp window.
I am running out of space on my system drive (120GB SSD with < 6GB remaining). It happened in only 12 months. I'd like to know where all that space went, which files are using it. So I'm looking for a way to rank files by size regardless of their folder location, largest-to-smallest, ideally without a full scan of the disk if there are internal indexes that have this info.
My C: drive has been displaying a size of around 60 gb with 40 free even though it's a 300 gb drive. I thought the issue would resolve with a clean install, so I did that. Now I have a fresh install and i need to reinstall everything, but the problem isn't fixed. Below are some screen shots of the drive size:Disk Management, showing my C: Drive's full size ^Any suggestions of how I can reclaim this space?? I've tried a few things already to no avail. If you need any more information about my computer to help, let me know. This is pretty annoying, 'cause I want to use that extra space to install Ubuntu.Oh, I just rememberedWhen I look at the drive in Paragon Partition Manager, it shows the full Drive size, but says that the space that is missing from Windows is in use...
wreaks havoc with my Norton full system scan. It is scheduled weekly, but never does it, because my computer is on, but sleeping. How can I get the scan to not stop during sleep mode or scan if it's in sleep mode? I having to constantly unsleep my computer or change my control panel settings then change it back.
This may be hopeless, but I have an ancient Canon flatbed scanner Model CanoScan FB 620U. Does anyone know where I might find a Win 7 driver for this old beast?
I have been going crazy trying to get my Canoscan 4200F to work with Win 7 64 bit Home Premium.
I downloaded the 64 bit driver from Canon & under "Device Manager" it says that it is working.
I try to use "TWAIN" in several photo editing programs & it says " cannot connect to device, Cable may be unplugged". When I select Device in the photo editing software it lists "canoscan 32-32"
Some times I get a notice that says "Must use WIA driver",
It works great under Win 7 RC-1 32 bit using paint shop pro 6.
Since upgrading to Windows 7 Home Premium I can no longer use any of the HP Printing software that came with the HP 5280 All In One Printer which I had set up with custom paper sizes to print large panorama photo's,eg 420mm x 210mm.I know the printer is capable of printing photo's this size as I have printed many panoramic photo's in this and similar sizes when I was running XP.I have set some custom sizes in Print Server Properties and the settings are being saved there but they do not appear in any paper size lists in Windows or in the HP printer preferences.This is the procedure I'm following.1) Click start menu,then Control Panel,and finally View Devices And Printers.2) Click printer in the list(HP 5280),then click Print Server Properties.3) Click Create New Form,type a custom paper name in the Form Name text box and enter the desired paper size under Paper Size.Click the Save Form button,and the new form is present in the paper list
I select printers & devices select canoscan lide 500f my scanner I get a message saying a wia driver for the scanner to operate I can not seem to find a wia driver for the scanner Help. I have win 7 64bit.
I can't get my canoscan Lide 30 to install on my new computer with windows 7 64, and canon are only saying buy a new scanner cause they don't have any drivers for it. if someone knows how to fix this.
