New installation win7 32 bit but cPU high and laptop hot

I've upgraded an Acer from XP to win 7 home premium 32 bit, got an expert to install the drivers, and noticed the system was slow and the laptop got hot after a short while (30 minutes). Looked at CPU which varied between 9 and 65%, average about
45%, and while trying to determine the effect of changing from Aero to basic desktop, got it up to 100%. Removed most gadgets on the desktop. All to no avail.
Laptop doesn't feel reliable anymore. Didn't recognise an external drive twice (paging error) and it's generally unhappy.
I saw most of the CPU was being hogged by good old searchfilterhost.exe. I thought that had been resolved with win 7. I studied the various posts online, unclicked XML file (though it came back), stopped media player shared app, and reduced
the number of files and folders to be indexed. It began again. Laptop is now faster but remains warm and CPU is still far too high. I let index run in the hope that when it's finished, it will calm down. When it gets hot, I switch
it off. Search has now indexed about 30000 files (so has some time to go) but CPU is still high and interestingly, is not really affected by me using the laptop. It almost never reverts back to 0-5%.
I have ESET AV and had windows defender on. (Switched that off to see if it makes a difference). Scanned. Nothing of note found.
I don't wish to lose my laptop by overheating so am a little worried. I can disable windows search but I find it really helpful. Troubleshooter found nothing.
Would love advice. Posts re this issue tend to be old. My installation is new and I have relatively few apps and prgrammes. RAM is 3 GB. Slow processor but enough for win 7.
Another laptop with win 7 64 bit is just fine. Searching has been completed though.

Hi,
My bad. Apologize.
Windows search(searchfilterhost.exe) sometimes would take the CPU at a high usage, older posts suggested to disable it or change the start type to manually, or rebuild the indexing, which seems not to be so good as a workaround. And some
folks don't have the high CPU usage regarding Windows search with a clean install, compared with upgrade install from Windows vista to Windows 7.
Before going further, could we take a high CPU usage Capture in order to determine the causes? follow this:
Note: WPT is a tool which we need to install first.
WPT: WPR/Xperf: Capture high cpu, disk i/o,
file, registry, networking, Private bytes, Virtual bytes, Paged Pool/Nonpaged pool and/or application slowness.
Also please take a capture using process monitor(Also a troubleshooting tool):
Troubleshooting with Process Monitor
If possible please upload the results into skydrive and post the link here.
Thank you.

Downloading MUSE failed so I uninstalled (WIN7 64 bit) but application manager doesn't recognise it

Downloading MUSE failed so I uninstalled (WIN7 64 bit) but application manager doesn't recognise it has been uninstalled so I can't re-install

What version of the Adobe Application Manager do you currently have installed? You can find the version by going to C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\core. Once there please select the PDApp.exe and right click and select properties. You will find the version number listed under the details tab.

Itunes does not recognise ipad 2 with win7 64 bit but the computer recognises the ipad 2 as a camera. Works OK with win7 32 bit.

I have tried to sync both ipod and ipad2 (new) with itunes running on win 7 64 bit. I have all latest versions installed on all machines.
The ipod and ipad are just not recognised in itunes.
I have an old win7 32 bit system on the same machine and everything works perfectly.
Any ideas welcome.

http://randomwindowstips.wordpress.com/2009/12/08/windows-7-itunes-9-software-is -not-installed/.
This was the answer to all my problems, once i updated the drivers all good! My iPad kept insisting I didnt have the 64bit itunes (which i did) and when I checked the files I was supposed to have as per the link instructions, I had none of them. Disappointed I had to turn to some random files off a blog rather than having apple actually provide useful help. As long as they are making money though :Z

HoW DO YOU SETUP A NEW wINDOW 7 64 BIT PC FOR ITUNES AND MOVE EVERYTHING OVER FROM AN OLD PC

How do you setup a new windox 7 64 bit pc for itunes (which documetns folder does the file need placed in and then move everything over from your old pc (which is windows xp)?

I am pretty disappointed in the lack of documentation.
This is the Apple Support page for Boot Camp:
http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
No mention anywhere of Lion, of 4.0/4.01
In the past, 10.6.6+ was suppose to - and sometimes did - provide for a download drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant program, in order to save them to flash or such (that should be about 1GB, too large for CD). Some macs req'd a USB-DVD or other driver that was needed pre-install of Winidows
You don't install Apple drivers until after Windows is installed otherwise,
It is possible for me, with a tower, to run w/o needing any drivers from Apple. But with laptops, mini, you do need some drivers from Apple for graphics, internet, wireless, SMC support.
And right now, loading any Apple support Tech Note articles is very very slow.
People keep asking why Apple can't post 3.0 or 4.0 like they do the updates. Only logic is to force t he download from inside OS X or from an OS X DVD. Otherwise would be here, and avoid all the trouble. they aren't of use on a PC, and any PC motherboard vendor does post their support software for download.

G575 - Fan stoped working, CPU overheats and Laptop shuts down

Hello!
I've bought a Lenovo G575 three years ago, my warranty isn't active anymore.
The fan in my laptop stopped working yesterday, and now when I do something that is CPU intensive, the Laptop shuts down because of the overheat.
Is there a way to buy a new fan?
Should I open the laptop and take a look at the fan, to see if it can be fixed without changing the fan.
Thanks for the replies.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yes, the listed fan will fit your model laptop.

IOS 6 update - status bar goes a bit, then shuts down and its hot

Updating to IOS 6. I am at the point where I see a black screen with a white apple and a status bar under the apple. The status bar barely moves but it is currently at about 35%. After a bit, it goes blank and then it resumes the same process.
I have it plugged into my PC so it has power.
Is this normal? It's been happening for about 20 minutes now. Plus I can probably turn my heater off since the iPhone seems to be providing me warmth. Is it supposed to get hot during an update?
How long before I cancel the IOS update and probably my Verizon contract for this phone and any/everything to do with Apple products?

Just needed to wait for it to get done. Apparently, that is how long an update happens
Anyway, issue resolved.

Forms 6i Client Server works in Win7 64 bits but Runtime (Ctrl-R) not

My installation of Oracle Forms 6i Designer works fine, but within the Designer the Runtime option (Ctrl-R) simply nothing happens.
In Task Manager there is a process "ifdbg60.exe" but not the corresponding screen opens.
If I run the Runform directly (outside of the Designer) this problem does not occur.
Does anyone have any suggestions to help me solve this problem?
Best regard
Zilmar Furquiim

Well, version 6 of Designer, Forms, Reports, etc, are not supported for use on Win7 and further, were desupported several years ago. If you really want to use this obsolete version on Win7, rather than hacking a solution, I would recommend using WinXP Mode or other virtualization option.

This is a copy of ONEof the keys in the registry I changed as told by Apple support today. I also have changed others as instructed by GEAR software support to manually delete GEAR drivers (that I had installed but couldn't delete some of the others they mentioned from Windows system 32. Then some bright spark at work told me I need the Gear drivers so I downloaded the software and installed again.
Sorry, just this minute went to insert image and it is giving me a message saying this sort of content is not allowed?.
The most recent key I altered is in: HKey _local _machine. System\class - 4D36E965-E325-11CEBFC1-08002BE10318. Upper Filter data: Upper filter NTIDrvr SiRem GEARAspiWDN.
The GEARsoftware info about manually deleting GEAR drive is from:

I hope you can help

The xp machine finds the deskjet 9800 on the win7 64 bit but doesn't know how to install a driver

network discovery is turned on, printing works fine for win7 to 9800

Try the following: Temporarily install the Deskjet 9800 on the XP machine. Once installed disconnect the printer from the XP machine and reconnect to the Windows 7 mashine. Next on the XP machine go to the Printers folder, Add a Printer, Local Printer, Create a Port, Local Port, \\Computername\Printername (use the actual share name for the Windows 7 computer and printer), OK, then click select the HP Deskjet 9800 series.

New installation woes - SQLDeveloper on Oracle Linux x64 and Oracle 11g XE

Note that as an experienced Oracle developer in enterprise environments running MS Windows OS, I am familiar with SQLDeveloper for Windows. I don't have a lot of experience with Linux however. I don't find it intimidating, I just don't have a lot of accumulated knowledge.
I have recently been trying to set up a development environment on my Windows7 Professional x64 laptop.
1. Installed Oracle VBox
2. Installed Oracle Linux 5.2 inside the VBox (because Oracle 11g XE is not certified on 64 bit Windows, needed to go with a Linux OS)
3. Installed Oracle DB 11.2 XE
4. Installed JDK as instructed in the SQLDeveloper release notes for Linux x64
5. Installed SQLDeveloper 3.1.07.42-1
No apparent issues with any of the installations.
Problem : I can run SQL Plus from the command line, but when I click on the icon for SQLDeveloper, nothing happens. No error messages, nothing else.
Question #1 : Unsure how to debug/troubleshoot this. Will read through the installation and release notes for SQLDeveloper, but any suggestions would be welcome.
Question #2 : Could this be due to an issue with the JDK installation? It appeared to be successful (no obvious issues) but I can't see anything in the Oracle Linux menu system that tells me the JDK was installed successfully. How can I confirm that the JDK installation was successful?
Edited by: Peter Hartgerink on Jun 19, 2012 9:12 AM

>
The Linux x64 version of SQLDeveloper doesn't come bundled with JDK. There is a version of JDK recommended, with an advisory to install it before installing SQLDeveloper. This I did, with apparent success. I guess I'll have to install the JDK again and check my Java versions afterwards. Thanks.
>
I don't know what JDK you downloaded since you didn't say. What version was it? Post the link.
I find it hard to believe that the JDK version recommended was 1.4.2 since that is an ANCIENT version of Java, you have to hunt to even find it for download and most importantly the sql developer main download page clearly announces what version of Java is needed.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/sql-developer/downloads/index.html
>
JDK Support
Oracle SQL Developer 3.1 is shipped with JDK1.6.0_11. However, you can connect to and use any JDK 1.6.0_11 or above. To use an existing JDK, download the zip files listed below "with JDK already installed."
>
As you can see you need JDK 1.6.0_11 or above.
If the version you say was recommended was actually 1.4.2 then that is an error; post the details so the developers can get that error fixed.
I don't know what is on your system and can only go by the information you provide
>
4. Installed JDK as instructed in the SQLDeveloper release notes for Linux x64
java version "1.4.2"
>
You either downloaded version 1.4.2, which seems unlikely, or your Linux included 1.4.2 and it is being used when you try to launch sql developer.
Perhaps your system now has multiple versions of Java on it but the version being used by sql developer is the wrong one. If so that is the issue you need to resolve.

Error 306 on win7 wired network, but no problem on laptop on same network, wirelessly

iTunes on a wired network is not working correctly. Internet connection in all other areas is working. When running iTunes, update notification works, downloads updated version, but I keep getting the error 306 message when trying to update apps.
The icons are all blank or have blue question marks.
On the same network, just wirelessly, my laptops iTunes works perfectly.
TCP/IP settings are identical on both.

Windows is absolutely passing the buck, and what is more, they are doing it in hopes that we will pass them more bucks- Windows 7 offered a program (for free) that was called windows media center. Windows 8 does not have this however, they will suggest
that it you pay an additional $99.99 to upgrade to windows pro and THEN another $9.99 for windows media center, all will be fine in the media sharing department....
UNTRUE-
I have Windows 8 and fresh out of the box, I got an app called XBox Smartglass with my new (and supposedly improved) OS, Windows 8. Therefore, it is an OS issue, not a manufacturing issue or an Xbox issue or where ever else you may want to stream your
media to.
However, for whatever reason, I have been able to share media without upgrading or paying anything with not one, but two Xbox's...It has something to do with permissions, sharing, devices, networks...but don't ask me what, I truly, truly wish I could help
everyone...however, I just do not want windows weaseling more money out of already high paying customers.
Sometimes I right click on a pie of media and I receive a 'Play To' option. Sometimes that options offers me to 'Play To' 'The Dark Box' or 'Xbox 360' or one but not the other or; my personal favorite- the 'Play To' option is gone and the only option
is to 'Open With' the various media outlets on my PC but not stream it anywhere...and there is no rhyme or reason or setting that makes this consistent.
I wish I could help more, but I leave you with this- It is possible, It does have to do with Windows OS, and you do not have to pass anymore bucks their way to make it happen...

New Iphone 4 syncs everything BUT my music and audio books when I sync?

Hi
I bought a new iphone 4 to replace my 3gs. None of my music or audiobooks that show on itunes on my computer will sync with the new phone. I had them all on my old iphone. My new iphone is recognized when I sync. Ideas?

As with others I have lost all my contacts since the recent update. I have tried to backup but it didn't work (much as I expected as the backup was done after the update). So I really don't know what to try next, if there is anythign to try next? I have checked iTunes and I have never had the sync Contacts box ticked and I have tried finding something on the computer itself, but this is where my technical skills fail me as I really don't know where to look or what to look for.
Have I lost all contacts and therefore need to input manually, or is there something left to try?
Many thanks.
