Installed 8GB in DV6-2190 laptop but only seeing 3.99 usable - using Windows 7 64-bit

Hi there ... I have a HP DV6-2190 laptop, running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, and have installed 8GB of RAM. The BIOS sees this RAM just fine, as does a bootable Linux distro. However, in Windows, I am only seeing 3.99 usable. Since Resmon shows that the first 4GB are hardware reserved, does this mean that that 4GB of RAM is completely consumed by the video card? Is there a way to get it use a bit less and give my programs a bit more? I do end up running out of memory when using music editing programs and VST hosts, such as Cubase.
Thanks!
Michael

Hi Sophie,
Normally you can find your serial registered to your AdobeId. To find it please login to the Adobe website and check if you did register it to your account.
Serial number, Redemption, and Product codes | Student & Teacher Editions
In general you will go true a educational verification afterwards you get the serial. So its in your email or account. If you still have issues get in contact with the chat team to get help.
Good luck!

Well, what is your problem?
If you are entering your serial number and being told you have used up your activations, you will need to contact Adobe to have your activation count reset

Satellite C55-A-19N: 4GB RAM installed but only 2,39 is usable

Hello,
I have Toshiba satellite C55-A-19N with Windows 7 32-bit. It has 4 GB of installed memory, but only 2,39 is usable.
Bios is the last.
I can not find anywhere in the system the ability to change it.
My desktop with core i5-2500K can see 3.29Gb from 4Gb RAM, why toshiba cant see it?

The shared part depends on the RAM amount which is installed.
The notebook description and the NVIDIA GeForce 710M details says this:
Video card: up next to 3787 MB with 4 GB system memory installed
and up to 4,095 MB with 6 GB of system memory (64-bit Windows operating system only).
So the shared part seems to be bigger than 300MB.
By the way:
open msconfig using search
in msconfig click on boot
next inside boot click on advanced options
In boot advanced options click on maximum memory and increase the value
then click OK. Next click apply in msconfig and then restart your pc

I've downloaded CS6 Master Collection but only see The Photoshop icon. I can't seem to find the other programs, except on "uninstall programs" How do I open and run the others?

How about you give us some real information.
Did you install the software? What operating system?

I bought photoshop for my laptop but it crashed. Can I use it on my new home computer?

Not enough information. What EXACT version of Photoshop? Are both machines the same platform, i.e. both either Mac or Windows?
Generally speaking you are allowed two installations on two different machines that are not used simultaneously. Up to CS6, the two installations have to be on same platform machines, either Mac or Win. In CC and later, they can be one each on different platforms.
It is very important for you to contact Adobe to deactivate the installation that "crashed" (please elaborate).
You are not addressing Adobe here in the user forums.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
A screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).

Tried to install iTunes 10.5 this morning but an error appeared saying "problem with windows installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run." Can someone please help

I tried to install iTunes 10.5 this morning but an error appeared saying "problem with windows installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run." Can someone please help

Firstly, are you installing iTunes for the first time or are you updating your current version of iTunes?
If you're installing iTunes for the first time have you tried redownloading the installer package? Perhaps the file you downloaded originally is corrupted...
http://www.apple.com/itunes/
If you've tried that, then try installing iTunes as your computer's administrator. To do this right-click the install package and choose "Run as administrator".
If you're updating iTunes to the most recent version try repairing the Apple Software Update program on your computer. It's under the add/remove programs.
1. Open the control panel
2. Open Add/Remove programs (called "Programs and Features" in Windows 7)
3. Navigate to "Apple Software Update" in the list and click on it
4. Click on "Change" then select "Repair" (or just select the repair option in Windows 7)
Once you repair this, try running iTunes and the update again.
Fingers crossed!

I am halfway through my 4s contract and wanted to buy a 5, but only see the 64 gig available to me for 649 but that requires a 2 year contract. Where can I buy w ou getting locked into a contract and for how much?

Your contract is with your service provider - it has nothing at all to do with Apple.
You can buy a contract free and/or unlocked iPhone from Apple and use it with whatever carrier you wish. Your contract terms with your current service provider remain in effect for your iPhone 4s though, so if you cancel with them (or port your number out, which accomplishes the same thing) you will owe them early termination fees and so forth.
Even if you pay full retail but want to use the phone with your current service provider, you are still obligated to complete the terms of your existing contract.

That is a problem with an AVG extension (toolbar).
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

8.00 GB of installed RAM/MEMORY but only 3.99 GB "usable"

Here is my system:
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit
CPU: Intel i5 750 @ 2.67Ghz
Motherboard: MSI P55 GD65
Ram: G.Skill 4x 2gb 240-Pin DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) dual channel memory (8gb total)
BIOS shows 8gb of installed RAM, Task Manager shows 8gb installed RAM, Resource Manager shows 8gb installed RAM. Right-clicking My Computer > Properties shows "Installed Memory (RAM): 8.00 GB (3.99 GB usable)"
With all the research and other forums posts I found, I have:
- Tested all 4 ram sticks individually (before the G.Skill I had the same problem with 2 Kingston sticks)
- Unchecked maximum memory in msconfig.exe > BOOT > ADVANCED
- Updated BIOS to latest version (1.11 a.k.a 1.B0)
- Loaded BIOS optimized defaults
- Cleared CMOS and loaded optimized defaults again
- Tested memory with Windows Memory Diagnostics tool with no errors
- Removed CPU to check socket for bent pins...no bent pins...reseated CPU
I have not:
Enabled "Memory Remapping" in BIOS because I do not have that option available in BIOS
I did read this post about G.Skill ram: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=178019.0 and checked by ram settings and they are automatically already at the 9-9-9-24 timings, 1T command rate.
Yikes! What else is a man to do?

OK.
Perform the following tests with 2 memory modules (4GB RAM):
1)
1.a) use the slots 1 & 2 (those close to the CPU).
Check out the usable system memory
1.b) use the slots 1 & 3
Check out the usable system memory
2) msconfig.exe / Boot / Advanced
2.a) set the max memory to 4096MB and reboot
Check out the usable system memory
2.b) unset (uncheck) the max memory setting and reboot.
Check out the usable system memory
3) use the same 2 memory modules (4GB), access the BIOS and make them run at 1066MHz (7-7-7-20 at 1.50...1.55V)
If all the above don't fix the issue, post a screenshot of the memory mapping (System Information / Hardware Resources / Memory)
Good luck.
Alright, RemusM...got some new developments here. Thanks for sticking with me....
1)
1.a) Slots 1 & 2 (single channel mode): 4gb installed, 4 gb read and usable by OS
1.b) Slots 1 & 3 (dual channel mode): 4 gb installed, 4gb read but only 1.99 usable by OS
I stopped there and did some more slot tests...and I stand corrected from my earlier comments (I had written down that each stick worked in each slot, individually, but these notes are from 5 years ago...so...however):
With only 1 stick installed (2gb), starting closest to CPU:
- Slot 2 (blue plastic slot): PC will not start, motherboard beeps 3 long beeps (ram error, from what I Googled)
- Slot 1 (black plastic slot): PC starts, 2gb read and usable by BIOS and OS
- Slot 4 (blue plastic slot): PC will not start, motherboard beeps 3 long beeps (ram error, from what I Googled)
- Slot 3 (black plastic slot): PC attempts to start (3 times, fans and lights start and then stop) and then it hangs (with fans and lights on but does not start)
Would I be right to assume my Slot 3 has been the problem all along? Or is the motherboard supposed to only start with 1 stick of ram in slot #1?
Also of note: since I first built this computer it has always took 3 attempted starts (fans and lights go and stop) to finally fire up (I know, I should have realized this red flag sooner and probably mentioned it).
Also of note: with 3 sticks installed - in slot 2,1,3 - the system reads all 6gb but only 3.99 usable by the OS again. Indicating, I would think, that only slot 2 and 1 are being used.

Trying to install Acrobat on a Vista laptop, but can't find the installation icon in the Adobe Application Manager

Hi, trying to get Acrobat installed on my Vista laptop but can't seem to find an icon for it in the Adobe Application manager. I have a CC license and it installs fine on my Win7 but can't seem to figure out how to install it on my Vista laptop. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Normally if something does not appear in the download options it means the machine does not meet the tech specs for the product. In this case, Vista is not in the tech specs for Acrobat Pro XI if that is what you are trying to install. For whatever reason it skips from XP to Windows 7.
