Launching Applications Locking Up At Every Startup?
Feb 11, 2007I bought Vista since I figure I need to do a reformat and used this as an excuse to jump on the vista bandwagon,but here is my challenge with XP.This started about 2 weeks ago...when I launch Adobe Photoshop and go to open a file the program locks up and I can sometimes end the program and other times I need to reboot. I deleted and reinstalled the program and the same thing happened during the installation process. I downloaded a free picture editor (Faststone) and the same thing is happeneing. I also had lockups using the add/remove programs in control panel.

Aug 12, 2007I add a Favorite to IE.
It's OK to add a new Favorite Folder, but when press final enter, it hangs IE for ages, the hard drive goes bananas, and FINALLY it comes back to life, entered.
I do have a lot of favorites. Is there a Tweak for this?

Adding Color Schemes
Sep 15, 2005Windows XP has only three color schemes to choose from. I wondered if there was a way to add new color schemes (and for that matter, a place to specifically find new color schemes) without installing software like Style XP or WindowBlinds. I just want to configure the color scheme, not everything else. Can this be done?
View 2 Replies View RelatedLaptop Freezes After Adding Ram
Mar 5, 2007I need some help. I have a Compaq Presario 715us laptop that I just added 256mb of ram.Since then the laptop freezes and the only way to get it back is to hold the power button.It will run from between five minutes and four hours before it freezes. If I remove the new Compaq ram all is well. It is the correct ram per Compaq. I've run looping diags on the ram and they all pass.
I've spent hours on the phone with the clueless folks at Compaq. I've called Kingston to see if they know of a problem, and they didn't. There are no logs associated. I've changed hard drives and reloaded xp with all the updates but it still locks up.I searched the web and found tons of posts on the HP busines forum site of people with many models of Compaq laptops freezing after adding ram. They used all different ram other than Compaq's. They were from three years ago. They found that if they removed xp patch Q811493 in sp1 it corrected the problem. They said that this patch was rolled into KB826939. I've searched for both of these on my laptop and found neither. I've checked add remove programs with show update checked and it isn't there. It may be in SP2 or it may not be related to this issue in my case.

Oct 24, 2007I have a Dell Dimension 8300 desktop with 80GB hard drive and 3 GB RAM. Dell do told me I can have only a total of 120GB hard drive on my machine. Dell forum said that is not right. The Dell manual states there is are 2 bays for 1" high hard drives and it gives installation directions for adding a second internal drive. I have 3 external hard drives for backups, photos and much of what I don't need or want on the C drive. I need to install more programs for photography since they can not be run from an external drive according to those I have asked.

View 8 Replies View RelatedAdding An Extra 1GB Or Should I Wait Until Vista
Aug 12, 2006I have 1 memory slot left in my motherbaord and it supports a maximum of 1GB in that slot - I have used the previous 2 with 1GB in each channel running as dual channel memory.
Can Windows XP MCE 2005 work with more than 2GB of memory? I heard that XP with more than 2GB of memory is like Me with more than 512MB. Under Me when I used more than 512MB RAM (768MB) it worked but after performing intensive tasks I has incredibly slow performance to the point where the system almost grinded to a halt!! I wouldnt even dare make full use of the 1GB as I saw articles on MS website saying that 1GB will cause 9x OS's to completely not start at all!! Oh and lets not forget the glorious BSOD - those bring back some memories!
Once I upgraded to XP the 768MB of RAM worked fine. Then went onto 1GB and then afterwards a nice comfy 2GB.
Simply put, if I have 3GB of RAM, will I experience slowdowns or lockups in XP MCE 2005 much like I did in Me, when I had 768MB of RAM? Is 2GB of RAM the "ceiling" in XP MCE 2005 for good reliable performance.
Wuauclt's Keep Adding On In The Task Manager?
Sep 21, 2007I understand that this is a widows update client running process, but I have 18 of them running in my task manager!!!I can't browse the Internet or open applications (MS Word, Windows Media Player, etc.)and I can't access its files on my network. It tries to run the app when you select it, but then itquickly goes away. Seems like over time the wuauclt's keep adding on in the task manager, like it's trying to update but can't.All my computer can really do is open task manager and get into control panel.
View 1 Replies View RelatedAfter Adding RAM Adjust Page File?
Nov 23, 2008I read somewhere that after adding RAM you also need to adjust the Paging File. I just found an informative article on this. I checked my Page File properties and it reads: C Drive (that's the only drive, no partition)
Custom Size:
Initial: 336 MB
Maximum: 672 MB
I have 990 MB RAM, hence the recommended 1485 MB (1.5 times)Should I increase the Page File size? I don't have a problem with performance, but I also haven't used any memory intensive programs. Also, is there a risk in allowing the system to set Page File? "System managed size"?And why some people recommend the same size for minimum and maximum?

View 1 Replies View RelatedAdding Changing Content To Background
Sep 26, 2008I am trying to figure out how to add changing content to my background. I decided to use the Web option in the customize desktop area of the display settings. I made two test attempts trying different things out to see if it would do what I wanted. I had no trouble and so I went ahead and made my image. Now when I went to add the actual image in it let me, but wouldn't save the changes after I logged off. It works fine while I am still logged in, but as soon as I log off my changes are gone. So I thought that maybe there was a limit on how many items I could have in the list at any given time. I had no need for my test objects, so I deleted them from the display control panel. Now for the surprise - Those changes don't save either. After I log off the test objects are restored. I now thought that maybe it was some kind of safety feature so you don't remove it by mistake. I went through and found where the registry keys for it were located and deleted all of them. This only effected my current session - After I logged off, the test ones are put back and my actual one is removed, from both the control panel and the registry.
