I have a regular PC for work, and my programs are NOT memory hungry.. and i have 2 gigs of RAM on this
If anyone can give me some help on this I would be very grateful.I first noticed that there was a "Google Update" asking me if I wanted to update. So I proceeded with the download. The last thing to download was the Adobe Reader 8 but unfortunately it could not download successfully this Adobe Reader 8. It mentioned something about not being able to locate the Adobe Reader 7.0.7 - Italiano.msi. Note,I am actually residing in Italy hence the "Italiano.msi" but my first language is English. So then I tried to locate this Adobe Reader 7.0.7 by going to Programmes and then to the "Adobe" file, where I discovered "Acrobat 7", then double clicked on "Active X", then double clicked on "Acro PDF.ITA , whereupon it told me it was impossible to open this file but that it can search the web to locate this programme. It took me to Windows File Association where it said it did not recognise the file. It told me to go to Windows Live Search. Information. Click here to Run a Free Scan for ITA Errors".It was here that I downloaded this "Uniblue Registry Booster". The Uniblue Registry Booster has detected 89 6errors in my files! It is asking me to repair it by clicking the button.Now I am really scared because I don't know if I have just introduced myself to a "gimmick" and to a virus!

I received "Uniblue Registry Booster 2010" in Spanish on a CD. if I install "Uniblue Registry Booster in Spanish on a Window XP platform that is in English, will the registry repair software be able to read the registry keys to repair/clean. Or must you have a Windows platform in Spanish for a registry repair/cleaner in Spanish.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI had a random thought. and I can't find much information on the idea. What happens if I make my XP partition 40 gigs so I had room for programs, but then, for something like Oblivion, Id partition 8-10 gigs strictly for the game. Then Sims 2 id do like, 10 gigs strictly for sims 2. So...would that make the games run faster cause theres only a small area to search, or, is it a waste of time?
View 11 Replies View RelatedSeems like this would be a common question, but I didn't find it anywhere. Feel free to refer me to an appropriate post if there is one.My old laptop bit the dust, and I've got a loaner. It's very low on memory and everything is just really slow. The obvious solution is to add more memory but I won't be able to do that for awhile. In the meantime, is there anything I can do to increase this computer's performance? I searched online and found a lot of hype about disabling services, but upon further research it seems like that won't actually help, with the possible exception of turning off Themes or indexing.I don't run anything fancy on this computer, mostly Firefox, Thunderbird, that sort of thing. It's an Hp Pavillion ze5600 running Windows XP.Keep in mind that I know more about computers than the average office worker, but only slightly. I appreciate any suggestions you have. I have done things like disk cleanup, defrag, virus and spyware scans, and getting unnecessary programs out of the startup, but that is about the extent of my knowledge.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell 4700, and since the newer Dells have not been shipping with an OS restore cd, I would like to make one. It is my understanding that Dell computers come with a restore partition on the hard drive (I know for a fact that it is there). I believe this is an image of the OS that Dell originally setup.Is there a way that I can copy the contents off this partition, then possibly edit out the Dell "crapware", and then burn it to a usable CD?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI use CCleaner everyday and it removes all TMP files, which is what I want.However, it also REMOVES the settings I make with "TweakUI" to change "AUTOLOGON", to "LOGON AUTOMATICALLY AT SYSTEM STARTUP", and "VIEW / THUMBNAILS" to "VIEW / DETAILS". Using Google, I have found that these changes are made to a TMP file. When I use CCleaner, it removes the TMP files that have the changes that I want.I have Googled for hours and can not find the answer. I did find mention that the changes I make are saved to "TMP" files and therefore, CCleaner is removing my changes. It mentioned that the REGISTRY could be changed to make my changes permanent, but the site did not tell me how to do it.Can anyone tell me how to modify REGISTRY to make my changes permanent? I want to keep "LOGON AUTOMATICALLY AT SYSTEM STARTUP" and to have all files shown as "DETAILS"

Occasionally, I have to add or change a registry key on several machines. In the past, I have simply manually edited each machine's registry--time consuming.How does one make a registry key that can be entered with a click?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently purchased a new MOBO for my first build a few weeks ago (ASUS msn32 SLI Deluxe), and it has a few nice little utilities that make the experience of building a PC a fun one - that is, until you try to use them! lol~AI Gear is a utility that (with the interface of a gear shift) allows you to up the power of your processor, or to go into a power saving mode, if you will.
AI Booster is a very cool little OC'ing utility that makes it easier for newbie people like myself to OC within a controlled environment without the fear of screwing something up in the BIOS.Now AI Gear and AI Booster can't run at the same time. So if AI Booster is set up to launch on start up, there's a pop up that will prompt you to disable AI Gear so the booster can be used.
I downloaded the free trial version of the System Booster that is supposed to be part of the new version of XP (I think?).Does anybody know about this? Is it legitimate? It seemed to be. I have noticed a small increase in overall speed of loading programs and apps, but it could be my wishful imagination.

He has the CD that came with it. We looked all over google and the Dell site and can't seem to find out how to do a clean install. We pressed F12 and tried to boot from the CD-ROM and thought it was going to work, but it said that we were trying to install XP on a partition that already had XP on it. I saw no option for full/clean restore.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI currently use a UK dial up connection with Connectfree to access the internet; generally without any problems. There now appear to be a number of "faster dial up" applications available (all at a cost of course) that claim to enhance speeds on average by a factor of X5. For example - Onspeed in the UK. Does anyone have any experience of any of these applications or know of any similar applications that are free. At the end of the day, I assume it is only a packet compression tool?
View 5 Replies View RelatedWell i built a new PC a while ago, and i was about to sell my old one when my mother said she wanted to buy it from me (she offered to pay for it; I didn't ask her to buy it).SO anyway, tonight I wiped my old computer and put Windows XP Pro back on it. Well i was amazed at how much faster it boot into windows than my new PC. It does about 3-4 bar moves (the green bar moves front to back 3-4 times) and then bam, into the log in screen/ desktop.It takes my new PC about 8 bar passes to boot into windows.
