I am thinking about giving an old Fujitsu lifebook B110 a new lease of life, I have it since new and although it's old I am quite attached to it.It has a Pentium 233MMX processor, and 160MB ram.It currently runs Win98.The hardware meets the minimum specs for XP, but seriously, would it be usable? Or would it be like watching paint dry? The most it would do is a little light web browsing and maybe some email.Also, I wonder if XP home would be any less demanding than say, Pro?
How would i go about on finding what im running in my system, i recall doing it once by going to "Run" and typing in something..Like for instance i would like detailed info about my computer..
Computer: 2004 Presario, 2.6 Gig Processor, 512 MB RAM, 120 Gig HD, under warranty.Operating System: XP SP1.Comments: Runs like a 286; very slow moving from program to program; slow when shutting down. Complete disk wipe system recovery has been done; non-disk wipe system recovery has been done; Ad-Awre SE installed, Current Noron anti-virus installed and updated. Sytem set for "fastest operation".
I recently reformatted my HP Pavilion laptop back to Windows XP. I didn't back the specs up, so now in the Device Manager, it has a lot of black exclamation marks in yellow circles. I installed Belarc onto it using a flash drive and this is what I got:....
From other people's experiences (not what the package says), I was wondering what the minimum requirements for running Windows XP Home. I have a 900 MHz computer, 256mb ram, 80G hard drive currently running Windows ME.
I'm stuck have a friends XP machine that is behaving oddly. When it boots, in normal or safe mode, I receive a dialog box once the user selection screen is displayed with the title "virtual memory minimum too low". Then an explanation that XP is going to re-adjust it. At this point everything is hung. At the time I got the machine, there indeed was only 200M left on the C drive, but even when I expanded the partition and gave it 25G free, I still get the message.To make matters worse, I can't seem to boot any CDs in the drive so I have to work on the drive on my machine.This also means I can't boot an XP disk to do a repair/re-install. Was it really low and now just can't get past the message even with the expanded drive?
Windows has been running real slow lately. I usually have two open at the same time, and pages will take a long time to load. Then tonight I got the message on virtual memory. What does it mean and what should I do?I have free Avast Antivirus running and use the Wins firewall.IE 8
Everytime I go online (via modem) I get this message: Windows - Virtual Memory Minimum Too Low - Your system is low on virtual memory. Windows is increasing the size of your virutal memory paging file. During this process, momory requests for some applications may be denied.
Windows xp home sp3.One thing i miss about windows 98 is that when you check to see how much free memory you have left it will show what amount of ram you have installed and also the amount you have left over .in windows xp home sp3 you get too much info for a person to understand.i have a 1 gig of ram installed,, i want to know in one simple answer how many MB i have left over. How can i find out?yes i know i can right click on the task bar and bring up task manager,,thats the problem,, too much info,,lol.or is there a program i can install that is free, that will give me that one simple answer?
whenever I play a certain game on my computer, Championship Manager 2006, it says that my Virtual Memory Minimum is too low? I have 256 mb RAM and I don't know how to fix this problem.
Operating system is Windows XP and for some time my computer has slowed down to a snails crawl. It also shows Windows Virtual Memory Minimum too low your system is low on virtual memory, Windows is increasing the size of your virtual memory paging file, during this process, memory requests for some applications may be denied. I also tried to install Microsoft Office Word 12, it came up there is not enough memory on your disc space to run Word. I got fed up and was going to delete some old Microsoft Updates but instead deleted as many temporary files I could and cookies as well.
I have AMD Athlon 64 x2 Dual Core 4000+ Processor and i want to know, is my processor better for x32 or x64 version fo Windows XP? somethere i read that x64 windows is for x64 processor and just in that windows version x64 processor has maximum perfomance. I have been using 32 bit version of xp, but i want to know would my processor be faster in 64 bit version of Windows XP?
I've always kept my pc up-to-date with all MS patches, and never had any problems.All seemed well after the SP3 installation, until recently.After logging in as 'Administrator', I was asked to 'active windows in the next few days'. I had no problems in doing so (as I'm running a legitimate version of Win XP Pro). I then got a window that said 'Windows is already activated'.All seemed well, then I went to logon last night, again I was asked to 'active windows', when I clicked OK, the system logged me off.My one solution was to boot to safe mode and remove sp3.When I rebooted the pc, all seems well.My question what caused this, and how do I prevent it from happening again? I want to re-install SP3, but am afraid that eventually windows will not let me in at all.
Using old AMD 350 MHz back-up machine lately, out of necessity. Several diagnostic apps, such as Belarc Adviser are reporting it to be 175 MHz. The boot menu is saying 350. Why is this happening, and what can I do to get my 350 MHz. chip to be seen for what it actually is? It's bad enough that I'm forced to use the old boy right now, but I'd be a lot happier if the diagnostic apps were seeing it for what it is.
I have a new computer that i just built. It has a Biostar I945PA7 motherboard, with an intel Pentium D (dual-Core) 3.4 GHz 800 Mhz FSB 2x2 MB L2 Cach Processor, a CoolMax Cr-550W ATX2.01 Power Supply, a 80 GB 7200RPM Western Digital Hard Drive, an eVGA2n25 nVidia GF 6200TC 256MB(512MB) video card, and a sony 18x18 Dual Double DVD-RW, and i have 2GB Corsair DDR2. I am running windows xp professinal and have not installed any other programs or drivers.First, I had a very difficult time installing windows xp professional. During installation, it has turned off unexpectedly and gave no error messages. Then once I was able to get windows xp installed, it installed it with a password. I then re-formated the hard drive and re-installed windows and finally it installed properly. Now, I have been trying to download drivers for the video card at the eVGA website(http://www.evga.com/support/drivers/....asp?switch=2),
I'm really confused about the whole 32/64 bit issue. I use Gibbs CAM at work and need to get a new desktop system built for it. When I call Gibbs they recommend building the new system based on the AMD Athlon 64 3200+ processor and running the Windows XP Professional OS. They maintain this configuration really works great and operates better than an Intel 32 bit system. They said ABSOLUTELY DO NOT USE THE WINDOWS XP PRO 64 BIT VERSION as it does not run well and I will have compatibility issues with Gibbs and possibly other software even if I am operating in legacy mode. Gibbs, by the way, does not support 64 bit.
So my laptop crashed the other day, and it couldn't get past the windows loading screen, so i was able to back everything up to my ext. hard drive through the command prompt and system restore my computer. Ive had to restore it once before and everything went smoothly... but this time.. when it would be reinstalling the original software, it would give me error messages that files could not be found. Once I got through all of that, and got my desktop screen back and everything appears to be working again... my computer acts like somethign is wrong with the processor. The main thing is that my mouse gets hung up.. like the computer is thinking too hard. Ive watched the system processor.. and the system idle... keeps going up to 99%. I think something is wrong with my computer... can anyone help me figure it out? Is it a hardware problem? Thanks!

I'm gonna get an Intel Core2Quad Q6600, and will use DDR2 ram, and want to use Win xp - do I need to install Windows XP 64 bit?? or can I continue to use my old 32 bit?? I heard win xp can't "see" more than 3 GB RAM - does this apply also to win xp 64bit???
This computer is a Dell desktop, win xp with a fast processor. It's glitching up a was hoping I could get some advice. It's my bosses computer and he is having alot of problims with it and its starting up.
I didn't even think of it when I ordered my new system. I currently have the same copy of windows xp home I've had all along. Do I need to get 64 bit XP professional for my Athlon 64 X2 dual core processor to work? I'd hate to have to have to buy a retail copy
I have Windows XP on my computer. Does anyone know the web site of a free word processor or something similar to Microsofts Notepad? Thank you. user470
I'll make it short.I bought an SSD for FASTER booting times and it's just AMAZING. Though i'm still not satisfied with some things. I switched to winXP due to some issues in windows 7. Here when i restart the PC, when the Windows Splash screen appears, the PC remains IDLE for like 5 seconds. I mean its IDLE, No processor usage/ No HD usage/ and NO Service loading. It's just annoying me. And right after 4 seconds the SSD picks up and the desktop comes up INSTANTLY.
I am about to upgrade from 2000 Pro to XP Pro. I use XP exclusively at my office.I have run the Windows XP Pro Upgrade Advisor and it found no problems but, I realized that I can't even find my processor speed. It took me forever just to locate my hardware configuration.
how I locate my processor speed and the size of my RAM?
I updated my bios with Asus' bios update utility, at first everything worked fine. Including the required reboot. The next day when tried I booted up I got an error message saying the processor is set at the wrong speed. No matter what speed I set the message reappeared.
I just downloaded the latest version of Nikons Capture NX photo program so now I need a much faster PC.Nikon program recommends "Pentinum 4 2Ghz or better" What would be better?Dual processor? if so, which one? Video card? RAM 1GB is too slow....Maybe 2GB? 3GB? 4GB What else should I look for?
