I don't have an antenna at the back. Got a laptop , they don't have em.

It says the speed is excellent or good depending on how it's going that day.

Before you get new memory, it might be a good idea to defragment your pc first (basically it means moving files in order).

Go to the start menu -> accesories -> system tools -> Disk Defragmenter

Also, try to scan for spyware on your pc. These little things run in the background and might be the cause of your slow PC.

have you tried talking to it or thrashing it with a tree branch or something ...

Does anyone here know how to burn a disc image using Daemon Tools Pro?

There is a game that I want to put on a disc, but I am not familiar with Daemon.

I've thought about it mate


Yeekiat: Thanks I'll try that.

Get PoweriSO and mount it instead of putting it on an actual disc. Alot easier.

When you disk deframent how do i know when its finished done? I pressed it about 25 minutes ago and not noticed anything.

I can mount it and run it but every time I try to play the game it says please insert disc.

copy the image file from the download folder into the folder for the game in your C Drive, know what I mean? Like with my FM08 I copied the image file from my FM08 download folder ----> C Drive -----> Program Files -----> Sports Interactive ----> Football Manager 08 ------> Paste -----> Yes, replace other file.


Should work.

When you open the defragmenter you should see a list of drives (assuming you have more than one hard drive or you have partitioned your hard drive) in your PC.

Select all the hard drives to defragment and there's a button at the bottom there that says 'Defragment'.

Let it run for a while and run your Defragmenter when you are not using the PC. It doesnt work running in the background while you're working on your PC.

I have a lap top if that makes a different. I put it on last night while i was playing a game, went back to check it and it was still going, didnt have to click on anything else apart from ok when i went into disk defragment.

It should be the same with laptops.

I remember running mine for around four hours (estimate).

i did for 4 hours or so then it turned around to me and said i didnt need to defrag it, it was fine

Hmm

Never had something like that before I'm afraid. Maybe you will get better answers when O Dogg comes on here.

O Dogg, sorry to be a continual gnat. I did what you said, ran safe mode etc. I got a bit puzzled though when I logged in as admin. What was i suppose to do there, carry on using the computer as usual? Now i'm back on normal mode.

Right, Ive hooked up my laptop to my portable tv using an s-cable, a converter into a yellow plug. but now i want sound from laptop to play through tv. Which cable would I need??

Any mini 3.5mm stereo plug to dual RCA plug cable should do you fine.

The 3.5 mm is the standard plug you'll find on any PC/Laptop audio port - the RCA plugs are usually coloured red and white - those go into the audio-in ports on the TV.

Of course I'm assuming the TV has an RCA audio-in ports - since I don't know which model you're referring to I can't really be sure.

Got a Yellow Video, White Audio and Headphone port.

Whilst in Safe Mode with Networking, you should attempt some downloads or speeds tests to see if your speed is what it should be. If so, then it is definately some software on your PC which starts up when Windows is booted in normal mode that is causing your slow speeds.

We could try identifying then what programs are running on startup.

OK then.

A) how do i carry out the speed tests?
B) how do i identify running programs on start up?
