I use Windows 7 Ultimate, and I have noticed something which seems to be an update problem. I have my updates set as "Automatic", ie. Windows 7 looks for and downloads and installs Windows 7 updates automatically. However, I have noticed a few times that, when I have a considerable amount of updates waiting, the downloading and installing of updates usually fails. Now, for example, I had 15 updates, and all but one failed. When I install them separately (one by one) it does eem to d
Windows 7 Vs. Vista Vs. Windows Xp?
Well, I've always wondered which OS was best on the average computer. Ever since 2001, XP ruled over most OS's with it's lightweight core. Tests has been performed on a computer with: Intel dual-core E5200 CPU, 2GB of RAM and an ATI Radeon HD4550 graphics card and 500gb harddrive. First Comparison: BOOT TIME Results: XP: 3.5 / 5 Vista: 3 / 5 Windows 7: 4.5 / 5 Second Comparison: Gaming XP has been really compatible with mostly all games.

Can you burn up a computer? The terrible heat wave we have been having has the fan in my computer really humming in the afternoon. Since it is too hot outside to do anything physical, I try to spend the afternoons and hotest part of the day inside, on the computer, answering emails and placing ads. But the last couple days it's worried me a little bit as you can just hear the little fan screaming. It was so bad yesterday, I actually decided to shut the computer completely down.
Hello, permit me to do a little introduction: many people talk about it, Linux! But what really is: Linux is the main program ( kernel ) that make the operating system start, even windows has a kernel! but it's named different, it's named Explorer ( also the browser is named like that but they are different things ). Then around this program ( the Linux Kernel ) we have a huge number of different operating systems based on it ( the Linux Kernel ), there is Ubuntu, Debian, RedH
The Use Of Free Operating Programs
Windows seems to be the operating program that is installed in a lot of computers. And Apple seems to have got a small portion of the market. And Linux seems to have eaven a smallier part. This can be considered a kind of strange. Since Linux is free. And Windows costs a lot more. There are probably many reasons to find why Windows is used more compared to the operating programs of Apple and Linux. Maybe the efforts to get Linux working are too big compare to the price people are willing to pay

Why you need to update Windows XP, to Service Pack 1, 2, or 3?

What Is The Future Of Operating Programs?
Windows Vista and Ubuntu were developed with the idea, that after the installation the user of the computer has about all the programs and functionalities the user might want to use. This results in big and heavy programs. The new direction Microsoft went with Windows 7 is that Microsoft decided to leave out some programs that not every user uses all the time. So a program like Window Movie Maker has to be downloaded seperately. The goal to keep the user attached to the operating program is chan

Windows 7 Hits 10% Market Share
In other related Microsoft news, it would seem that Windows 7 has made a big dent into the PC by hitting the 10% installation, give or take. I would say that definitely huge in the OS market but the question is are people using it, or are people trying it out and then dumping it and going back to another OS. Well this [url="http://marketshare.hitslink.com/operating-system-market-share.aspx?qprid=10"]nice little graph[/url] does offer an interesting breakdown of the OS market and so one does sp
The Icons Of Zip Files Are Wrong Everytime!
Hello! I am going crazy for a silly little thing. Please help me anyone! The icon for ZIP files never shows the way it is supposed to. Instead it insists on displaying the Windows 'default document' icon for ZIP files. If I rightclick a zip and choose icon properties, I can set the icon to be fetched from the winzip executable instead, and all looks fine and dandy inside the properties dialog, but after refreshing or repairing icon cache it is still the default document
Why Windows Vista And 7 Take Up So Much Memory
Ever since they've been released, I've heard complaints that XP is better than Vista or 7 and that they use up too much memory. Naturally, people began asking, "Why does vista and 7 take up so much memory?" The answer is simple: it lies in a new service known as SuperFetch. Have you ever had a program that took forever to load up that you use a lot? If you use Vista or 7, then probably not. You can thank SuperFetch for that. What SuperFetch does is it seeks to populate all o

Printer Sharing Between Xp (32bit) And Windows 7 (64bit)
Hi everyone, I am currently presented with a dilemma, I have a desktop running a 32-bit Windows XP Media Edition in my room and another running the 64-bit Home Premium Windows 7 in my office.

Microsoft Warns Users Of Pirated Windows Os
[quote]Hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of local PC users running pirated Windows operating systems will soon face the shame of being reminded of their illegal action every time they switch on their machines.

So the first beta is supposed to be out today. I normally switch to the new ones around this time—which i have already done so. As some of you may know, one of the goals of this version is to decrease the amount of time it takes for the system to boot up yet again, the goal being no more than 10 seconds on a "medium system." According to their website removing HAL is one of the things that will accomplish this goal. That caught me a bit by surprise since HAL concerns hardware, l
I use Windows 7 Ultimate, on a Packard Bell PC with 2 Gb of RAM and an M-Audio Delta 2496 sound card. I have a funny problem when using my PS2 mouse: I first noticed that, when I was editing in Cubase and using the mixer, that, when moving a slider, the music stopped temporarily until I released the mouse button, or rather, when I say "the music stopped", it was like Cubase stopped being the main program running at that time (When Cubase is not the open program, no music plays, even

Since I have been looking to add a new server to my household I have been introduced to virtual machines. However there was a question that I could not get a clear answer from. I know that win XP 32bit version has a RAM limit of 4gb, going over would be useless even if the PC has 8gb it doesn't increase speed. However if I install a virtual machine will it share the RAM within the limit of the host machine, or can it take advantage of the full RAM available? This could fall in the same c
