Might I suggest that you try things that stimulate your mind?
give drawing a try or something artistic
Maybe try writing a story about anything that comes to mind
Go to a museum that you normally wouldn't go to
You might be able to find something that excites you and something you discover to be your passion. Its possible you are just lacking a goal or motivation. set some goals for yourself. have small goals that you can acheive in 1 day. set a few that might take a few months to achieve. and then set some goals for 1 year. It might give you something to work towards and also a sense of accomplishment when you do finally achieve it.I need to change.but i dont know how?

My laptop keeps turning itself off why is this?
Well me and my brother wanted to play on world of Warcraft together and we have a crappy laptop so I wanted to clear loads of junk off it and also use auslogics boostspeed and advanced system care on it. I just went through my files and deleted a lot of stuff. I also increased how much virtual memory I use or something by changing the settings. Now me and my brother play on wow and it's all good but the after like 45 mins of gameplay it just turns off. It only happens on wow we can leave it on all night when it's not on wow. I have done deep virus scans and spyware checks. If it makes any difference the laptop is connected into a 27 inch monitor. Is there anything I might have deleted that could have ruined it?
Thanks ;)My laptop keeps turning itself off why is this?
No you didn't delete anything important... your laptop is just overheating.
Games like WoW require a lot of computation and so it stresses older computers out a lot. This stress makes the computer hot.
If you want to keep playing WoW on this computer then I recommend you buy a ';chill pad';, which is a little platform with a fan in it that will blow air on to the bottom of the laptop and help keep it cool.My laptop keeps turning itself off why is this?
There is this virus called the ';teddy bear virus'; It hacks your system and makes your computer shut down. This has happened to me in the past...I found out that it was that I over used it ...It overheated, But what I did is I took my charger out every so often and put it back in. I did this for a while, then It got better. You could send it away to get fixed it's free. :)
run reginout scan for eradicating registry corruption possibly behind the game crash and auto shutdown
graphics card, ram, or over heating,

What is 7.82 KB's in MB's?
I need to convert 7.82 KB's (kilobytes) to MB's (Megabytes).
Because the virtual memory for my computer is low so I need to change the amount of MB's. And to find the amount it needed to be I looked at the page info and it said it needed to use 7.82 KB's and my computer needs to know it in MB's to I can't figure out how to convert it im only 13!What is 7.82 KB's in MB's?
1 MB = 1024 KB
1 KB = 1/1024 MB

Virtual Pc 2007 help please...?
Okay i've downloaded Virtual Pc 2007. Everything is fine except i cant get the program to accept any ram from my host system. I have a 448mb memory.
When i go to set up a virtual OS when it comes to deal with adjusting the ram it says 0mb and the end of the spectrum says 0mb as well and i cant and dont know how to change it. how can i get the program to accept ram from my host system?Virtual Pc 2007 help please...?
As a hack, you can try the steps below:
1. Go into Start | All Programs | Accessories | Notepad.
2. Go into File | Open | Open the .vmc file that you made in Virtual PC 2007 (you'll need to change Files of type to All Files in Notepad) and search for the line below:
%26lt;ram_size type=';integer';%26gt;0%26lt;/ram_size%26gt;
3. Change 0 to the amount of memory you want to assign to the guest OS.
4. Save the file, then close it.

Is this guy I met on a virtual world older than he says he is?
I'm 13.
A few years ago I met this guy on a virtual world.
I have a pretty good memory, so everything he said back then (like his age, birthday, full name, brothers age, and some other things) have stayed in my mind. I stopped talking to him for awhile and a few weeks ago started talking again. Now everything has changed. He some how got younger, his birthday isn't the same, his brother is now apparently older than him, and his last name is different. But I guess before he could have been lying and now telling the truth.
Also, he doesn't have a facebook or anything, so I've never seen him, but he did tell me to add this girl on facebook to ask her a question. I added her and looked through her pictures and noticed I'd seen the pictures before. I then realized where I'd seen them; once while looking at pictures of site models. If you don't know what a site model is, its kind of like a model only they don't model things . They give pictures of them self (usually cool pictures) to someone who then puts it on the internet. So the the site model her pictures are of is Jenny Greenwood. And I know sometimes they change their name, so that its not their real name, but this Jenny Greenwood looks around 20. But making a whole facebook with pictures, and people who comment would be hard. All the people who comment are also really pretty(and the guys are hot), and all look like it's been taken off the internet. I mean is it even possible for a whole school to be good looking?
This girl I talked to also knew a lot about him. She knew his exact hight, and about how much trouble he got in at home for getting in trouble at school (like he had to go to some place ((that I forget the name right now)) and that his mom almost through away like all his electron devises.) I mean he could have told her, but still thats a lot of telling. Plus she said I THINK he got sent to (blank place) and got his stuff thrown away. So I guess that means she doesn't really know..?
Do you think I'm being to paranoid? Am I looking at all this too closely, or am I over looking it (are those even opposites? psh look at me trying to be smart;D) Anyway please tell me what YOU think about it.
~Thanks in advance(well if i get answers)~Is this guy I met on a virtual world older than he says he is?
do not talk to him anymore for all you know he could be a psycho path stay away from him he is probably not a good guy be careful
-kkIs this guy I met on a virtual world older than he says he is?
That could be some old man trying to be a perv.......Internet friends are never a good idea in my opinion.... :( maybe I'm the one whos paranoid lol.

How to make your cpu usage lower and make your memmory run more?
How do I go under my Pc and Make My cpu usage run about 12-13 percent instead of 100 and i have 376 memory so how do i get to change to make more memmory run like have 376 run as the virtual memory or the paging File also my specs are AMD-k6(tm) 3D processor 500 Mhz 376 of RAM and indows Xp Media Center Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 3 and is their any program that will like scan and clean out my systen????????????please help i can really Epriciate it.....鈾モ櫏How to make your cpu usage lower and make your memmory run more?
Try pressing Control-Alt-Del and then check to see if any one program is hogging the processor. Anti-Virus programs are often responsible for this. If so, try using an e-mail provider that scans your e-mails for virus's before forwarding them onto you - saves having to install Anti-Virus on your pc.(Check to see if your ISP offers this service first - a lot seem to now. If they do, uninstall the Anti-Virus program).
Media Centre is designed to work best with 2GB of RAM. It will work with less, but it has to allocate a chunk of the Hard Drive to make up the shortfall and this slows the machine down. So if you can install more, then you will see an improvement.
Its an odd amount of RAM, so perhaps you have an integrated graphics card using some of the RAM too. That being the case, a cheap graphics card would improve general performance. Take care to buy the right type. I suspect your board will have ISA or AGP and PCI slots, but double check to be sure!
The processor is slow by todays standards, but i suspect that funds do not permit an upgrade. If they do, you dont have to spend a fortune, as there are cheap base units out there - see example link below. just find one in your country that is similar.
If you need a software program that cleans your PC for free try CCCleaner. Link below.How to make your cpu usage lower and make your memmory run more?
Uhm.
You can't unless you physically upgrade your computer.
Get more RAM...
And a better processor.
Your processor could always be under 100% load because you're multitasking with an old processor. Or you have a virus that's doing other things in your computer.
Try changing your computer its not up to it

Do you realize that if our reality is a virtual reality, our location never changes?
If we for a moment considered our existence to be part of a virtual program set up by some super advanced beings -- our true location might be reducible to the program's memory locations for our being, our object.
Thus our 'real' time experiences and our true our location would perhaps always remain stationary, at the program's memory location, no matter whether we travel to China, Alaska, Japan, Germany, etc.
All our experiences would have no effect on this one true location, except that of updating its files.
The reason I bring this up is because some years ago, I watched a starfish that had been severed, and its two components had regrown. These components would show signs of still being connected no matter where and how far they were separated.
Any comments?
Is this possible to scientifically investigate?
I apologize if this is posted in the wrong section!Do you realize that if our reality is a virtual reality, our location never changes?
And why does being in a virtual reality mean that your real location is stationary?
Assuming that your hypothesis was true, and your true location is inside the computer's memory. Is the computer memory not on some planet with the super advanced beings -- rotating on its axis, circling their sun, moving around their galaxy, and/or expanding away from the center of their universe?Do you realize that if our reality is a virtual reality, our location never changes?
YES!
As I suspected, we are all lying in beds somewhere, hooked to machines.
Outside of being pure hogwash, your assumption that we would always remain stationary is based on the way you think that you might write such a program. Not based on the way someone capable of writing it would.
So your argument is also trivial.
So where's the red pill?

How do I improve the DMVT system of my 945 intel chipset?
I have an aspire 4710z, 1024 Mb ram, but I am having problems to run games that require more virtual memory. Doing some research I could find out that this DMVT determines how much phisical memory is dislocated to virtual memory. While running the aplication(Medieval II total war) the virtual memory was only 36 Mb. I tried to change the settings on the bios and fixed the virtual memory to 128Mb but it did not resolved my problems. I am starting to think that the game use most of the physical memory and left nothing to the virtual. I could use some help...and sorry for my english, I am brazilian.How do I improve the DMVT system of my 945 intel chipset?
First of all, you have to take into consideration that this is a LAPTOP and not a GAMING desktop. Second of all you can raise your virtual memory from within the operating system. It is an advanced feature mind you. It is the properties of my computer. Just right click My Computer -%26gt; Properties -%26gt; Advanced Tab -%26gt; Performance area, Settings, -%26gt; Advanced Tab -%26gt; Bottom Button, Change -%26gt; then configure it from there.
If you do NOT know what you are doing then DO NOT do anything. You WILL damage your computer and/or make it NOT function properly anymore.

Ive upgraded ram from 576mb to 2gb,but computer still slow?
hi all. ive just upgraded the ram on a computer x.p from 576mb to 2gb. friend recommened changing the virtual ram to 4095, i done this but computer still slow and no re-adjusting message came up. before done upgrade of ram 2gb the virtual ram was set at 576 and max at 1152, was i right to change it to 4095 after the upgrade of 2gb ram
ive read up that its 1.5 x the ram u have installed, but was told by few friends that 4095 virtual ram with 2gb ram installed is ok
ive done plenty of scans, and no viruses etc. i do have hard drive partition, but no sure how this quite works. ram was installed at computer shop and can see it has registered with computer. and can see the change in virtual ram as 4095 in both values so that has changed
would i have to set another virtual ram on the other partition as well?
here is the specs:
Maximum Memory Capacity: 2048MB
Currently Installed Memory: 2GB
Available Memory Slots: 0
Number of Banks: 2
Dual Channel Support: No
CPU Manufacturer: AuthenticAMD
CPU Family: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3400+ Model 12, Stepping 0

There are a several reasons why your computer is freezing/slow. First question is when the last time you cleaned your registry. Having a corrupted registry can cause a whole host of errors and problems. Freezing up is one of them. If you have a lot of unnecessary registry keys that are hogging up your computer resources. Your computer is bound to choke. Scan your registry with a good registry cleaner. If you pull up more than 20 errors or duplication, clean your registry.
Go to:http://tpdownload.net get one to free scan your pc
2. Depending on your RAM specs and your computer usage. This could also be the issue. Having an insufficient amount of free space does not allow your RAM to function properly. If you are using a lot of RAM by net surfing or other activities without enough empty space your will get freezes. You don't need to buy new RAM but you should increase your free space by removing unnecessary data and perhaps increasing your virtual memory. The below link will show you how.
3. Spyware could be the culprit, so do a scan and see if your computer is infected.
Get the best one from: %26lt;--http://toptenantispyware.com to scan your computer.
4. That last area is a hardware driver. This could be the problem if new hardware has been added to the system. So, the drivers should still be up to date. So try the first two suggestions and see if you can get your computer to stop freezing/speed up.
Check your drivers. Hope this helps.

Ive upgraded ram from 576mb to 2gb,but computer still slow?
Theres more to the speed of your computer then just the ram, if your computer is still running slow with 2gb of RAM installed then i suggest that you get a new computer
The Speed Of Your Computer Has More To Do With It's Processing Speed (Your CPU) Than How Much Memory There Is On The Hard Drive. A Dual Core Processor Would Operate More Quickly. The Speed Is Also Effected By What's Going On In The Background? If It Is Constantly Scanning Incoming Files For Security It Will Slow Everything Down. It Also Depends If You Have Dial Up Or Broadband And What Speed Of Streaming Is Available?
I Hope This Helps Mate.
you setup on your machine is fine go to start run and type msconfig
load up only the basics then reboot see if it's still slow if it's fast then you have a lot of items loaded on start up that does not need to be loaded. also you did not state the bus speed of the computer or how fast the hard drive is, that makes a difference to. a ide drive is slower than a sata drive and if you have a raid card you could speed it up by 4 times with the right raid configuration. MY guess it's your hard drive and loaded programs.
I'm not sure what the exactly is causing your problem but
1) I hope you are not trying to game with that onboard graphics card (SiS 760gx). You may have an AGP slot on you Motherboard that you can install a card into (7 series Nvidia Geforce or a X1xxx series Ati Radeon card). Depends on you're Power Supply too.
2) Your Proceesor could be too slow for what you're trying to run
3) You may have loads of adware/spyware on your system so you might want to install and run Spybot Search and Destroy on it.
Most computer users have been trained that if you want more speed for your computer, then add more memory. Well, this is true, in certain circumstances. But for most of the times, it really is just bad files in your registry files. Corrupted or missing registry files can make your computer too slow.
The registry is a main part of your computer's Operating System. With time, as you use Windows and install and uninstall programs, your registry will get congested and full of errors. So your computer could slow down. So, if you can clean it up this problem can be solved.Sometimes you can speed computer up by 300%. To clean up registry,You can download a software called regsitry cleaner---Clean registry,remnant,corrupt files and temp files,history,cookies,etc.. This site:

lists top 5 registry cleaner,you can download and scan for free.

It Also Depends If You Have Dial Up Or Broadband And What Speed Of Streaming Is Available?
I Hope This Helps Mate.
you setup on your machine is fine go to start run and type msconfig
load up only the basics then reboot see if it's still slow if it's fast then you have a lot of items loaded on start up that does not need to be loaded. also you did not state the bus speed of the computer or how fast the hard drive is, that makes a difference to. a ide drive is slower than a sata drive and if you have a raid card you could speed it up by 4 times with the right raid configuration. MY guess it's your hard drive and loaded programs.
I'm not sure what the exactly is causing your problem but
1) I hope you are not trying to game with that onboard graphics card (SiS 760gx). You may have an AGP slot on you Motherboard that you can install a card into (7 series Nvidia Geforce or a X1xxx series Ati Radeon card). Depends on you're Power Supply too.
2) Your Proceesor could be too slow for what you're trying to run
3) You may have loads of adware/spyware on your system so you might want to install and run Spybot Search and Destroy on it.
Most computer users have been trained that if you want more speed for your computer, then add more memory. Well, this is true, in certain circumstances. But for most of the times, it really is just bad files in your registry files. Corrupted or missing registry files can make your computer too slow.
The registry is a main part of your computer's Operating System. With time, as you use Windows and install and uninstall programs, your registry will get congested and full of errors. So your computer could slow down. So, if you can clean it up this problem can be solved.Sometimes you can speed computer up by 300%. To clean up registry,You can download a software called regsitry cleaner---Clean registry,remnant,corrupt files and temp files,history,cookies,etc.. This site:
http://www.make-pc-fast.com/
lists top 5 registry cleaner,you can download and scan for free.
Good luck!
Check http://www.pcoptimizerprodownload.com
With pc optimizer pro you can safely clean, repair and optimize your computer.
It will help improve your system performance.
Help slow computer. No viruses? What's wrong?
My pc was having problems. I ran avg and got rid of the problem I had. But now my pc is sooooo slow and I can't fix it. I've done all the scan disk. defrag. cleaned up un needed files and still slower than slow. sometimes locks up. Sometimes it says my virtual memory is too low. How to I change that? and is that my only problem? Please help. Thanks?Help slow computer. No viruses? What's wrong?
Try some normal, routine maintenance:
1. Set wallpaper and screensavers to blank or none — they run continuously in the background and use memory.
-----right-click on the desktop, select Properties
-----click the screensaver tab, on the left where it says ';screensaver,'; select none.
-----click the desktop tab, for background, select none
2. Review your start menu – remove anything you don’t need on a daily basis — load games, etc. on an as-needed basis.
-----click Start, Settings, Taskbar and Start Menu
-----click the Start Menu tab
-----select a program you do not want to load at Startup, then click remove.
-----Caution -- do not touch anything you are not sure of or you will mess up your computer royally.
3. From Internet Explorer, click Tools, Internet Options: delete cookies, delete files (offline), and clear history. (You can also set days to store history to 0.)
----- These actions will clear your computer’s cache. (http://help.yahoo.com/l/ph/yahoo/mail/ac… )
4. Run Disk Cleanup, Scandisk, Defrag at least every two weeks (the more frequently they are run, the less time they take). These can be found in Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools.
5. Periodically, click Start, Programs, Run — then type ipconfig renew
(that’s ipconfig space renew).
6. Optional: Speed vs Goodies — in the Control Panel, System, Advanced, Performance, Settings — you can have visual effects or let Windows select the best options. I am using “Best Performance.” Your choice.
7. Speed up Windows Explorer – WindowsXP (from PC World) ? If you are on a network ? Open Windows Explorer, go to Tools, Folder Options, click on the View tab and uncheck Automatically search for network folders and printers-and you'll feel the speed again.
These things should increase speed and free up memory as much as possible.

Startup – Remove unnecessary files – stop new programs from attaching to Startup with Winpatrol2007
http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,140721…Help slow computer. No viruses? What's wrong?
i know a lot of ppl having unexplained probs like yours with their computers including me lol no idea whats causing it though
Maybe you need some more memory installed.
Time to call a Computer Guru.
AVG free doesn't remove all viruses especially if it is a worm or some vb based file. it doesn't even detects it. Can you see your hidden files if not then their is some virus problem, otherwise find a registry cleaner us it and try to uncheck some programs from the startup and look up in the task manager of running programs that you know nothing about and there source is unknown they might be viruses
start%26gt;run%26gt;msconfig
go to the last tab, click ';disable all'; then click apply, then ok. it will prompt u to restart your computer. do it.
IF it still is slow:
mycomputer%26gt; right click%26gt;properties%26gt; advanced%26gt; 1st settings button%26gt;
and click ADJUST FOR BEST PERFORMANCE
click apply
click ok
restart computer...
IFFFF ITS STILL SLOW
if all that fails, get a new computer lol
so was it ever slow before?
If its an older computer the CPU (the place that does all the calculations for the computer) might be getting old.
Considering with all the new programs and advancements with computer programs its probably working overtime to work for you.
AVG is not great, so may not have picked up everything, and you do not have anti-spyware. Uninstall AVG and get these:
Avira: http://www.free-av.com/ (if you don't have anti-virus, or if you have Norton or AVG replace it with this)
Spyware Terminator (turn off web security guard): http://www.spywareterminator.com/
Spybot: http://www.safer-networking.org/ (use immunise feature)
Superantispyware: http://www.superantispyware.com/
Comodo: http://comodofirewall.notlong.com/ (turn off defense+ to see fewer alerts)
Update all and scan your computer, removing or quarantining what is found.
If that fails, try installing more RAM.
Check what you need with http://www.crucial.com/
Your computer might not have enough ram. you could increase the virtual memory, but that probably won't make it too much faster.
to increase the virtual memory go to:
Start %26gt; Control Panel %26gt; System %26gt; Advanced %26gt; click the settings button in the performance box and a new window opens %26gt; click advanced %26gt; click change in the virtual memory area.
Now set the size of the virtual memory to about 1000, and the max size to about 1200, click set. NOTE: If the virtual memory was set to off this would explain all your problems.
The changes may need a restart to take effect.
The previous examples dealt with good software gone bad. Now for the software that was conceived to be bad right from the start: Enter viruses, worms, Trojans and all kinds of spyware. Some of these will slow your computer intentionally. For the others it will be a side effect. But the unfortunate result is the same: your computer will be painfully slow, spy on you, and will attempt to infect other computers. So, if you noticed that your computer is running slower than it used to, this is a good indication that it may be infected by some type of malware. And often one malware program will try to bring its friends to join the party inside your computer. If you don't want this to happen, keep your computer clean!

Computer running very slowly.....please help?
my computer (laptop actually) is running very slowly. it was ok (still slow) before i updated my McAfee virus software,but once i updated it,it began to take up to 15 minutes to fully start up.also,i can no longer manually de-frag my computer,mcafee does it for me...however i have not noticed a change in my computers speed.
when windows virtual memory is too low, it gives me an option to delete old files and stuff,and it scans it,does anyone know how to do this without thel ittle bubble telling me to?
does anyone know how to make my laptop run faster?
also, i have windows live messenger,but my computer started making that go reallllly slow,so atm im re-installing it,and making sure i click 'allow acess' lol
can anyone help me?
(its only a few years old,has broadband,and is always connected to the power)Computer running very slowly.....please help?
I use a laptop as well - thus - Questions in return
Is McAfee set to scan at start-up?
I'd almost be willing to bet it is and if so, there's your problem.
With every thing else that launches at start up - a scan is the last thing ya need.
A note on de-frag. You can still de-frag via system tools but make sure everything is turned off as anything running in the background will confuse (for lack of a better term) de-frag and it will attempt to start over from the beginning (I just hate that burning feeling I get from endless looping).
You almost mention age of computer, what do you have for expanded memory? It might be time to add or upgrade.
(edited answer to include this) - as this added memory ';space'; would help your virtual memory problem.
Live messenger has a few problems... so re-install... might not help as much as you'd hope.
Well... hope that helps
Take careComputer running very slowly.....please help?
try to restart it
download this free program, fix ya right up. http://iobit.com/. (advanced windows care). Good luck. Mikie.
Hi,
I don't trust McAfee, I used to installed in my computer, once I removed it, my whole computer break down and need to intall Window again. It look like a virus itself. I use Norton.
By the way, try to put in your Windows installation disk and repair your windows.
good luck.
use system restore...
start%26gt;all programs%26gt;accessorys%26gt;systme tools%26gt;system restore
select 'i want to restore my computer to an earlyer time'
then select before you updated mcafe
mcCafe is the type of program (like norton) that tells you to update, if you dont they will send you a virus that your current mcCafe (or norton) cant detect and will crash your computer...
try Kasperski(dont know how to spell it) its a Russan antivirus (ironicly) russans are notorious for hacking and craking software and developing viruses, they finaly made somthing to help you. its very nice. im using it for ages and happy. if you do use it be aware the computer makes a funny scream when it finds a virus.
oh and, my friend installed norton on his MAC computer... he didnt update it, his MAC screwed up from a virus within a week...a MAC, have you ever heard of that?

PC games have faulty graphics? Help!!!! WILL CHOOSE A BEST ANSWER!?
It's happening on both my games Spore and Portal, so it's not just scratched discs.
The graphics seem normal at first, but gradually (within a minute or so) the objects are sort of distorted.... it's hard to describe. You can tell what they are etc, but lines come off the images more and more, until the game crashes entirely and the computer restarts itself.
With portal, it said: 'Internal driver error at present. You're likely out of OS paged pool memory'
I've clicked run, typed msconfig and disabled unnecessary programs, but it's made no difference. I've also changed the initial size of virtual memory to the maximum size, but again no difference.
The answer to a question similar to this was to turn the graphics down, but i don't know how to do this.
I'll choose a best answer, thanks in advance! :)

The first one usually means that something is trying to change your internet home page. To solve this run a good virus scan (mcafee or norton or f-secure) and also run an antispyware program like spysweeper and Hitman Pro.
For the seccond error that you are getting check to see how much space is left on your hard drive to do that right click on the start menu and select explore. Right click on the C: Drive and go to properties. you should now see a pie chart that has Blue and Pink in it. across from the blue it show how much of your hard drive is used and beside the pink it shows how much free space there is. Above the pie chart it says capacity for you hard drive. Depending on how big your harddrive is you want to make sure that the used space isn't the size of the harddrive. (eg harddrive capacity=20GB and used space=19.4Gb then there is a problem)
If there is too much blue then what you want to do is clear up some space on your computer by deleting stuff off of it. You then want to do a defragmentation. to do a defrag one the window that has the pie chart click on the tools tab and select defrag.
Hope that helpsThese 2 messages keep appearing?

Adding another hard drive to my computer - Can I install programs to my new one?
Hey I have a ide 250gb Hard Drive and was going to get another one. I know to set it to slave before installing it to my computer, after that will it show up in 'my computer'?
I have a few others questions too (answer what you know thanks heaps)
- To install programs to my slave/new hard drive, Do i just change the installation path when i am installing the program?
- Will installing a program on my new hard drive (The one i have now has 104gb left) make the program run any faster/slower?
- Will my computer/the programs run any faster?
- If I set my virtual memory to run on my new hard drive which will have most of it free space will it run faster than setting virtual memory on my current hard drive? and what should i set the virtual memory to be (I have 1.5gb Ram)
Final question, Can i install lets say ubuntu on my new hard drive and if so do I set it as slave or master? And how can I choose what OS to boot up at?
Sorry about all the questions but just answer what you can. Thanks!Adding another hard drive to my computer - Can I install programs to my new one?
Once your new hard drive shows up on ';My Computer'; identify the drive letter.
-- To install new programs on the new drive, just change the installation path to this drive, when you install new programs.
-- I dont think the program will run faster, unless the new hard disk itself is faster. If the new hard drive's read/write cycle time, rotation speeds are faster, it may make a difference.
-- Again setting virtual memory on the new drive will not make it any faster unless the reason is hardware specific as mentioned in previous point.
I dont know about your last question.Adding another hard drive to my computer - Can I install programs to my new one?
- yes you just need to change the installation path and the program will be installed on your new hard drive
- the program / computer will not run any faster or slower whichever hard drive you choose. this matter is affected by your cpu and ram speeds. however a full hd will have an effect on your virtual memory which may slow down your system.
Your new hard drive should be the same as your old one, so anything you can do wioth your old hard drive can be done with the new one.
As for Ubuntu, with all Linux distros, there is an option to install a boot loader, either GRUB or LILO. A boot loader is a splash that shows up when you boot your computer, allowing you to select the desired operating system with arrow keys.
since you have a 250 gb harddisk, it would be better if you shift your datas to your new drive and gain some free space and install the programs in the same drive. since your OS will be in you older drive, the performance will definitely better if you install in the same drive.
about your next question, as others have also already answered, yeah you can install ubuntu or any other Linux operating systems in that drive. you'll get a boot menu when u start your computer and u can just switch to any OS you wish.

I have a few others questions too (answer what you know thanks heaps)
- To install programs to my slave/new hard drive, Do i just change the installation path when i am installing the program?
- Will installing a program on my new hard drive (The one i have now has 104gb left) make the program run any faster/slower?
- Will my computer/the programs run any faster?
- If I set my virtual memory to run on my new hard drive which will have most of it free space will it run faster than setting virtual memory on my current hard drive? and what should i set the virtual memory to be (I have 1.5gb Ram)
Final question, Can i install lets say ubuntu on my new hard drive and if so do I set it as slave or master? And how can I choose what OS to boot up at?
Sorry about all the questions but just answer what you can. Thanks!Adding another hard drive to my computer - Can I install programs to my new one?
Once your new hard drive shows up on ';My Computer'; identify the drive letter.
-- To install new programs on the new drive, just change the installation path to this drive, when you install new programs.

Adding another hard drive to my computer - Can I install programs to my new one?
Hey I have a ide 250gb Hard Drive and was going to get another one. I know to set it to slave before installing it to my computer, after that will it show up in 'my computer'?
I have a few others questions too (answer what you know thanks heaps)
- To install programs to my slave/new hard drive, Do i just change the installation path when i am installing the program?
- Will installing a program on my new hard drive (The one i have now has 104gb left) make the program run any faster/slower?
- Will my computer/the programs run any faster?
- If I set my virtual memory to run on my new hard drive which will have most of it free space will it run faster than setting virtual memory on my current hard drive? and what should i set the virtual memory to be (I have 1.5gb Ram)
Final question, Can i install lets say ubuntu on my new hard drive and if so do I set it as slave or master? And how can I choose what OS to boot up at?
Sorry about all the questions but just answer what you can. Thanks!Adding another hard drive to my computer - Can I install programs to my new one?
I now to set it to slave before installing it to my computer, after that will it show up in 'my computer'?
#Yes if it is first partitioned and then formatted to FAT32 or preferably NTFS - if it is not, look up both on the internet to find out how to do this. An un-partitioned unformatted drive will not show up in 'my computer' although it may in administrator tools- computer management- disk management in XP and above
- To install programs to my slave/new hard drive, Do i just change the installation path when I am installing the program?
# Yes this is exactly what you do - but bear in mind that for many programmes some files will still be installed to the boot hard drive i.e sometimes in the root - in C: maybe some in common folders in C:/ program files and some in windows or windows-system or windows -system32.
So if you install programs on the second drive and later change or reinstall your boot windows system on your first/boot drive you will probably still have to reinstall any programs that are installed to your new drive
-Will installing a program on my new hard drive (The one I have now has 104gb left) make the program run any faster/slower?
# maybe a bit faster but not any slower - but not significantly even if it is a faster hard drive as this is dependant on other things as well. However if your exsisting disk is really struggling for space to store files and for virtual memory it could help quite a bit with VM set up on the new second disk. However if you really have 104GB left it will not be struggling........... as this is a reasonable amount of space - are you sure you do not mean 104MB! left on your exsisting disk? then a new disk will increase speed but it would still be advisable to move as many files as you can to your new disk to make more space on your boot disk
- Will my computer/the programs run any faster?
#Same answer as above
- If I set my virtual memory to run on
my new hard drive which will have most of it free space will it run faster than setting virtual memory on my current hard drive? and what should i set the virtual memory to be (I have 1.5gb Ram)
#Yes this might increase speed and under XP onwards you can have every hard disk used for virtual memory not just your boot disk. If you have both disks set to use virtual memory just set it so windows allocates the size on each disk - in XP or Vista go to disk management in Administrative tools - computer management to set this.
You could set the new disk to a fixed amount of virtual memory - if so just give it the largest amount you feel you can spare .
But if your boot drive is really short on space, leave it without any virtual memory and just use the second one for this only. I reccomend having VM on both disks and within some programs you can specify what disks to use as a 'scratch/VM disk' if you can specify within programs too.
Final question, Can i install lets say ubuntu on my new hard drive and if so do I set it as slave or master? And how can I choose what OS to boot up at?
#Leave you new drive a slave or your windows may not work -
You can install any linux version to any unused or sometimes un-partitioned space on any drive( master or slave boot or not) - if you are thinking of doing this it is best to leave enough un-partitioned space on your new drive when you install/partition /format it
Most linux versions installed when a windows version is already on another disk or partition on a PC will install a boot manager in the root of your boot drive - I am sure ubuntu does( whatever drive or partition you actually install Linux the boot manager will go on your boot drive) which will allow you to boot to windows or to Linux at start up.
As you install Linux on your new hard drive the Linux installation programme should give you options to set this upAdding another hard drive to my computer - Can I install programs to my new one?
Burning Brightly is more or less right. It will automatically show, but it is generally best to use your new drive only for putting data onto: keep progs on your C drive which is where they are installed by default. Putting your virtual mem on your new drive (and removing all from your C drive) should increase your speed (recommended in my Win2K help) Maybe 1.5 times your RAM. It is best to put Ubuntu onto your C drive and you can boot from either. I do not know how to do that.

Why do i constanly get ';internet explorer not responding'; when i try to get on a page ?
when i do manage to get on, its constantly freezing, and i cant do anything.Ive tried clearing cookies and caches, do frequent anti-virus scans,and even tried installing a new browser ( google chrome), all to no avail. and now im getting ';virtual memory too low';, how do i change it?..thanks in advance for any answersWhy do i constanly get ';internet explorer not responding'; when i try to get on a page ?
First, are you running Internet Explorer 8?
Since you have cleared your cache and ran anti-virus and malware scans you can try:
Running sfc /scannow and at the end reboot if asked for. This will replace corrupted system files if any.
If you find it running OK, then the problem is most probably caused by an addon. In that case you have two options :
- Use the manage Add-ons tool, and disable each one after the other to find out which one is causing the problem.
- In Internet Options, go to Advanced Tab and click on Reset tab. Restart IE. This step deletes all temp files, disables any add-ons, plug-ins, toolbars and also resets all changed settings to default. Although this is a quick-fix, you will have to re-install the add-ons.

pretty wide open question, what is your memory usage? operating system? how old is your computer? you may need to add more memory.
If you click too fast, it will open many of the program windows. Ctrl, alt, delete works if it goes to task manager. Close the program using the manager. Then get on about a minute later. I think your computer might be old. You can try a computer specialist. They see this all the time. :-)

How can i get more RAM for installing Vista?
I'm trying to install Vista Home Premium on my pc but it always says that i only have 250mb or RAM and i need more. I looked up the microsoft website to see how to fix this problem, and i came to a page that said i could get more RAM manualy by ajusting the RAM by right clicking on My Computer, going to Properties/ Advanced/ Performance/ Settings/ Advanced then Virtual Memory, clicking on Change going to Custom size and changing the ammount in Initial Size and Maximum size, but this doesn't help. Is there any way to do it by using my HDD for RAM? Or do i HAVE to buy more? Also i have a 160gb external HDD, is there any way i can incorperate this into solving the problem or getting more RAM?
Any answers would be greatly appreciated, thanx =]How can i get more RAM for installing Vista?
Vista needs at least 2GB of Ram. You will have to physically add more to the Motherboard.
If you only had 250mb to start with I doubt your computer can run Vista without serious lag.
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsHow can i get more RAM for installing Vista?
RAM = physical memory, which can pretty much only be purchased and added on
ROM = hard drive and under normal circumstances virtual memory
Increasing your virtual memory will not increase your RAM.
You will not be able to use readyboost to increase your RAM to install vista (Why? readyboost will only be active once Vista is installed... Vista will not install on 256mb of RAM).
The quick and simple answer: You will need to buy more RAM.

How Can I Solve A ';Paging File Error - ';Limited Virtual Memory';?
It is to be mentioned that i have already gone through the following steps for XP but it couldn`t helped me.
Startup tab==%26gt;Settings==%26gt;Control Panel==%26gt;System==%26gt;Advance(tab)==%26gt;Under the Performance Label click ';Setting'; tab ==%26gt;click Advance(tab)==%26gt;Under virtual Memory Label click ';change'; tab.
Second Method:
Right click ';My Computer';==%26gt;click Properties==%26gt; and the rest of the procedure is the same.
Since, i observed that upon restarting the PC the virtual memorey is again restored to the previous value(before restarting)., and is not saved/applied prmanently. Let me know how to come up this issue, or state any workaround for it.
Thanks.How Can I Solve A ';Paging File Error - ';Limited Virtual Memory';?
you need to click the SET button after changing the valueHow Can I Solve A ';Paging File Error - ';Limited Virtual Memory';?
check this video on clearing the pagefile (virtual memory)don't worry it will still be there but cleared of old data
then you can leave the virtual memory set to ';system managed';
another thing is add more physical memory then you need less virtual memory
After you change the value, be sure to hit SET before you close the window or it won't save it. And you don't have to re-boot unless it asks you to.spots on dogs skin unsplit a computer peak
