View 12 Replies View RelatedI am using Logitech standard optical mouse connected to the PS/2 port. Although the Trails option is disabled I still get some trails. While not a [problem] after 6 or so years it's becoming rather annoying.I also understand that while the mouse is connected to the PS/2 prt the refresh or Sample rate can be reg tweaked to 200Hz which I have done, but it seems to have had no effect.I understand that the refresh rate could be increased to 500Hz by connecting it to a USB port, but that this can cause severe resources problems. Does anyone know if this is correct. Or if the Sample rate can be safely increased above 200 w/o blowing up my cute little mouse?I am using a Logitech standard optical mouse with XP Hone. I had to remove the manufacturers mouse driver has it was causing the options to freak-out, in particular the wheel that would constantly appear on the screen and entrap and lock-up the mouse.

View 14 Replies View RelatedDownload the "Corp" version of Win XP Pro, file-sharing or torrent, and then run validation, fail, and get MS to sell you a retail copy of 1/2 price. Do the same thing, download Corp XP Pro. Burn a copy to CD on a computer it isn't install on, make up a receipt, and go to the Library and do a search of newspapers for computer shows from a couple years ago.Fill out the forms MS gives you and send in with the CD and receipt, and get MS to send you a retail copy for free. OK, I'm not really advocating anybody doing this, just trying to make a point. If someone is gonna pirate XP to begin with, what makes MS think that people won't be doing things like this? Why isn't retail XP sold at the price that is being offered to people with pirated Windows to begin with?

Select Start > Run, and type "dxdiag".2. When the dialog appears find the last tab, and click "Override" (or somthing similar).2. Just type your Value (be careful, dont type a value that your graphics card or monitor can't do!). Click Ok, and that is it!Remember you changed the refresh rate only for DirectX Applications, not for OpenGL.

View 9 Replies View RelatedThe problem is that the computer all of a sudden restarts for, according to me, no reason. It allways happen when I use Cubase (recording program) so that should contribute to that the computer restarts but it's not that the computer gets slow or anything because everything works and then all of a sudden it restarts and I lose all my work(if I don't remember to save).
My first thought was that the computer gets overheated or something but it doesn't seems to be that way either since the computer restarts and not turns off, if you see what I mean. Of previous experience I know that the computer usually turns off when it get's overheated (to cool down) and then after a while you can start it again, but the weird part this time is that it restarts directly.
My new rig recently had a Hauppage WinTV PVR-150MCE analogue TV Tuner attached. Following advice from this forum I was told that I could add any other TV Tuner in addition to what I currently had - it was impossible to add another identical PCI tuner because I am out of slots in my motherboard. So I got the Hauppage WinTV Nova-T DVB USB2.0 Stick - it fits in the USB port, provides me with DVB TV and doesnt have an excess unwanted remote control as I already have an MCE remote that came with the PVR-150MCE.
Now in MCE 2005 I cannot seem to record one channel while watching another. It keeps coming up with the message "Media Center is currently recording X do you want to stop recording and change channel?" - I want to change channel and KEEP recording going, why not do what I bloody well want and look for the other second tuner!!!) Why oh why doesn't Media Center use both the TV Tuners to its full potential?? I thought Media Center 2005 could utilize both tuners so I could watch one channel while recording another regardless of what type of tuner they are.

This is when I have nothing system heavy running, I have Dual 3.2Ghz EE processors and 2GB of Ram.Well I was getting a similar problem last month, it was because of the trojan vundo. I got vundo off a couple weeks ago and no more CPU Usage problems. Well I didn't go THAT far back in system restore.

I'm hoping I can resolve an issue here. First let me start out by apologizing for this long post, but i'm trying to get as much info out as I can.Recently i've been having big problems with my computer running VERY slow, my computer takes 5 minutes to boot up when normally it would only take 1, my mouse moves very laggy, and I can't start up any programs without having to wait minutes just for it to start. When I look at the performance monitor, my CPU usage is anywhere from 50%-100%...and i'm not even running anything! First let me get somet things out of the way. First off I have a laptop with AMD Athalog 64 2.5 ghz processor, 1.0gig of ram, and a ATI X600 mobility video card. I've had my computer for a little over a month so it's not outdated or anything, and all of my drivers are up to date.
I did a viruscan on my computer which took very long b/c my CPU usage was very high, and nothing negative came back when I did so. I ran adaware and removed all of the adware I had.still didn't fix the problem.
After trying both of those things I decided i'd try to restore my computer to an earlier point. it was successful. That was a couple days ago when I was having this same problem. Well here we are present date, and i'm having the same problem again. I tried restoring my computer to an earlier point again, but this time it resulted with some troublesome problems, apparently an important ATI file was deleted or something (not sure exactly) and I couldn't boot my computer up in normal mode, I had to go back into safe mode and rollback the drivers for my computer to even boot up. That was approximately 30 minutes ago, and here i am now. Obviously restoring didn't help this time because my computer is very slow at the moment.
I don't get it, because both times this has happened, it comes out of no where. My computer will be running just fine, then 'BAM!' out of no where my CPU usage is out of the roof. I'll try restarting, closing everything on my toolbar nothing works. Speaking of toolbars, mine is pretty empty, it's not overloaded with a bunch of crap, mostly just important stuff like firewall and virus scan. I can't imagine that restoring my computer is the only option here. There has to be something that is causing this, that i'm not detecting. Originally I would have guaranteed it was a virus, but McAfee Virusscan isn't picking up anything. And it's obviously some software issue, because when I tried restoring my computer a few days ago when I was having this problem, everything ended up working normally after that. This time when I tried it though, there was no luck.
Ive noticed that for the most minmal ofpc tasks my cpu usage alwasy jumps to 89-100% which in turn slows down my PC? does anyone have any ideas how i can lower that?
View 6 Replies View RelatedMy CPU Usage is too high. My computer is running really slow because of it. I looked under Windows Task Manager/Processes and System is taking up about 50% of the CPU Usage. It is not a virus because I have been through a whole thread in the Security section and they said I have no infection. This does this off and on. I have been having this problem for a while and then it stopped. I just restarted my computer and it just started again.
View 2 Replies View RelatedThis question is actually going to be for a friend of mine mostly and secondly for me. We have the same issue.We both have Norton Antivirus 2007 and the latest updates We both Have Zone Alarm Pro and the latest updates We both have all the latest drivers for all our hardware and use third party driver toolkits just to be sure about it We both Recently formated and reinstalled windows and made sure we have all the latest windows updates We both scan for viruses and other types of malware religiously For some strange reason my computer will be completely idle and out of nowhere the CPU will start running high (fast).I mean, it's literally out of nowhere because there are no changes in whatever i am doing. I will leave the computer completely untouched, without being connected to the internet and the CPU will just go off on its own running at high speeds out of nowhere. I don't even have a screensaver.
