ok, so same type issue as previous but mainly if I am on facebook. A little slow loading other webpages as well on occasion. 68 gb free of 105 on the harddrive ad 1gb of ram running Win7. Don't really use it for much other than surfing the web and email so really not looking to replace it so any suggestions?

    PolarPrincess - If you have a USB port, buy an external hard drive that connects to the USB port and copy ALL of your data (pictures and other personal files) to it. Then your data is safe and you can clean up the rest of the system. If not, burn them to CD for safety. THEN: 1 - Empty the Trash 2 - Search for files on the entire system, using this search pattern" *.bak (those are temporary files that can be deleted) 3 - Delete all of those files. 4 - Empty the trash again. 5 - Search for all *.tmp files and delete them 6 - Empty the trash again. 7 - Run the Windows XP "check disk" utility as described here: http://www.updatexp.com/windows-xp-chkdsk.html It may take quite a while ... 8 - Then try running the defragmentation program.

    Hi Everyone! I've been MIA. My laptop died, got another one and managed to spill and entire cup of fresh coffee all over it, soaking the keyboard....talk about getting depressed. Really could not afford the laptop to begin with but hubby said it's our only real form of entertainment and he insisted. We don't have cable or satellite or antenna out here. I wanted to use an older laptop of his but apparently it's dying too. He's working on removing all data now before it shuts down for the last time. I left the laptop to dry for a couple of days....fired it up and the keyboard still did not work. Major depressive. So I hooked up a keyboard. I did not feel like talking much because the laptop was the icing on our financial cake...we're fine at the moment but still watching our pennies. It just got to us. Dave was even looking to spend a further $200 to get/replace the keyboard. I said no. I'll use the keyboard. Today I tried the laptop keyboard and it is working completely fine. It apparently needed more time to dry out. Thank you Toshiba for continuing to build better and better laptops! So I'm back. Emotionally it's been a rough week but I'm snapping out of it now. Dave just installed our first piece of kitchen yesterday - the sink unit with 3 drawers on the side. It's beautiful. 6 ft long with the second piece to be built as a mirrored image on the other side of the stove. First he's taking a break from cabinet making to make some storage shelves for his shop. It desperately needs to get stuff off the floor properly and room to sort his small stuff better. Safer working environment. It's late and I'll be off to bed in a few minutes. Tonight I watched Joan Crawford's 1945 Mildred Pierce online. WOW - what a great girly movie. I love black and white movies. She was fabulous in this movie. We're hitting a 5 day run of hot weather (by my standards) - 86F or 30C. Tomorrow morning I'll be watering my gardens and again in the evening. I don't care to lose my started tomatoes and peppers that are finally appearing. Socially this week has been very good. Finally got to spend decent time with our neighbour/friends across the road. They had us over a few times last summer/fall for proper dinners when we were living in the trailer. I was able to do something nice for Gail - I made her bedroom curtains which she loves. I was pretty pleased the way they turned out considering we went to a major charity shop and got a beautiful large silky looking table cloth in a purple/burgundy and a lavender/gray heavy curtain for the backing to add weight and keep the light out at night. We also had great girly time and got together here for a card night. Much needed. Very much needed. I'm back - I'm sure BJ will be back soon too! Still maintaining my weight, drinking water or heavily watered down ginger ale. I'm not nuts on pop, just bored with water sometimes. I only use part of a can. The rest goes back in the fridge for another day. Sweet dreams everyone - will be in touch tomorrow! LOL Peggy

    I just don't get it with TEXTING!

    Q

    Comments (33)
    I love texting! I'm a middle-aged woman, but I text all my friends, and most of them know how to text back. We text little stuff, things we probably wouldn't make a phone call to talk about. "Clients were awful today. Calgon, take me away!" ... "Grace is driving me nuts. Want her to come live with you?" ... "Fajitas for dinner. Yum!" Texting does not isolate me. On the contrary, it connects me on a new level. It's similar to when email became popular. I got closer to my sister and my faraway friends, because email allowed me to say little things that I wouldn't have called or written to say. Same for texting, only moreso. I also use texting for simple exchanges of information. "We'll be late to gymnastics. There by 3:15." ... " "Will you bring the Mitchell file to court today? I need to copy some stuff." In the courthouse, everyone is texting. It saves so much time. For example, instead of running down the hall to another courtroom to look for a file, one of the D.A.'s will text the D.A. in the other courtroom. I've pretty much substituted text messages for voicemail messages, too. Most of my friends use their cell phones primarily or exclusively, and it's a lot easier to read a quick message than to have to dial into voicemail. (Speaking of which, as far as I can tell, young people don't use voice mail anymore. Young friends of mine complain when their mothers call and leave messages. "Why is she leaving a message? I can see she called on caller ID.") Just FYI, if you'd like to text someone but don't have texting on your cell phone (or don't have a cell phone), sign up for a Gmail account. It allows you to send SMS messages (that's texting) from your computer, just the same as an email. People can respond to you, too. I'm sure there are other services that do this, but Gmail happens to be the one I use. However you feel about texting, I think it's smart for anyone who has a child or grandchild to learn to do it.

    tablet help needed...looking to purchase

    Q

    Comments (24)
    marita there has been updates to your model the final official Asus firmware update for the device is 4.0.3, released in July of 2012. The build number ends in .27 I have found the links for the firmware update for you, I will link it below. However it would be much easier if you would try getting over the air through the tablet, try doing as I suggested, settings, about tablet, system update and have it connect and scan for one. Watch the notifications bar for a download arrow and check the notifications list for any downloads, if you see it click it and select to install it. Otherwise you will have to go to the link below and find the proper firmware for your specific tablet, it's critical that you get the one for the right sku, it tells you there how to determine your own sku, I would think that it would be the US one. Now from what I read directly from Asus they are not issuing a Jellybean update for the 101 versions. I think I would try contacting Asus support and find out more about the firmware update that is offered there on their site and what options you have, and also how to get the updates over the air as you should. I wish I could help more but that's about it. Of course there's always the option to go to the xda forums and have them help you install a custom ROM that they have created which will allow you to have the latest Jellybean. This link takes you there where an Asus support tech actually suggested that http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2091679 Here is a link that might be useful: firmware update

    Totally aside from the other advice you've gotten here, I'm a little troubled by your running Win7 on just 1GB of RAM. That is the bare minimum you need to run the 32-bit version, and at that level you can't expect optimal performance. You're supposed to have a minimum of 2GB to run the 64-bit version. You should be able to add some RAM to your system and that should speed things up quite a bit. I suggest you go to crucial.com or kingston.com and plug in your specs to see how much RAM you can add to your system. This could be a cheap way to improve your computer's performance

    Hi millworkman & kudzu9,

    Kudzu9 is correct, so after we finish Tomorrow I suggest you also visit the crucial site and consider adding more RAM (Memory) to the computer.

    How's the computer running? The log looks good. If you do not use these,

    1. Bing Bar
    2. Bing Desktop

    You could uninstall them from the Start>control Panel>Programs & Features list. The Bing Desktop is running at start up.

    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [uTorrent] "C:\Program Files\uTorrent\uTorrent.exe" /MINIMIZED

    Are you using the utorrent program?

    not to my knowledge, running ok little sluggish still on occasion but probably due to the ram or lack there of.

    Right! I would add more ram. Remove the Bing entries and post a fresh Hijackthis log.

    Ultimate with 1gb, that's the minimum.
    I saw one the other day .. was asked to speed it up. It had some virus but also while there I changed the paging file back to default. Somebody made it huge huge.

    And unchecked all the gingerbread that eats up too much memory, every one of those things was checked !!! ... the slide in windows,, that fade in the sunlight... with the animated drapes, this and that's. Was told whatever I had done, really made her computer so fast ... heheh

    Close all browser windows, open Hijackthis, Do A System Scan Only Place a check mark in the following bold entries:

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [NvCplDaemon] RUNDLL32.EXE C:\Windows\system32\NvCpl.dll,NvStartup
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [NvMediaCenter] RUNDLL32.EXE C:\Windows\system32\NvMcTray.dll,NvTaskbarInit
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [QlbCtrl.exe] C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\HP Quick Launch Buttons\QlbCtrl.exe /Start
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Adobe ARM] "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\ARM\1.0\AdobeARM.exe"
    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [SUPERAntiSpyware] C:\Program Files\SUPERAntiSpyware\SUPERAntiSpyware.exe
    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [uTorrent] "C:\Program Files\uTorrent\uTorrent.exe" /MINIMIZED
    O4 - Startup: Dropbox.lnk = Herb\AppData\Roaming\Dropbox\bin\Dropbox.exe

    Click Fix Checked.
    Close Hijackthis.
    Reboot the computer.

    We are not removing anything, these programs can be accessed from the program itself and do not need to start up at boot time.

    Also Please remove the programs we downloaded, on AdwCleaner double click the program icon and choose Uninstall

    On the Junk removal tool (JRT) Right click on the desktop icon and delete it.

    Please delete any log files that were left on the desktop.

    Empty the recycle bin.

    That should do it.

    He is talking about the page file, you can read about here at the link provided, there talking about disabling it, but there is other information there too, tells you how to view it, in my opinion I would let windows manage the page file for you. I think it's also important that you add more ram to the computer First before making any adjustments and see how the computer functions then.

    Here is a link that might be useful: Windows Page file
