Older GX-730 Laptop and windows problem.

Hi. I have an older GX-730 series laptop, and I am having some issues with it that I need some info/advice on. First, the laptop came with it's OS installed on a ttiny C: partition and the rest of it's tiny hard drive is where the apps need to go. Only I have a few apps that had to go on C:. As a result, the C: partition is full. I was going to just shrink the D: partition and expand the C: partition, but Windows won't let me do it. Does anyone have a way around this. Next, does anyone know if it's possible to get a restore disk for the laptop so I can just zap everything and start over? Two more questions. Does anyone know what specific RAM I would need to buy to get this thing up to a usable 4GB? And is there a specific limit on how big a hard drive this thing can handle? Thanks.

There are utilities online that you can search for that should allow the expanding and compression of partitions. I don't have one offhand, but do a google search and I'm sure you can find one.
There should be a program called MSI Burn Recovery on the laptop, assuming that it still has the original Windows installation. That should allow you to make recovery discs.
I don't know the exact RAM specifics, but if memory serves right, DDR2 800 should be what you need, and I'm not sure if it has 2 sockets or just 1 socket, but it only supports a maximum of 4GB. I'm guessing it probably has 2 sockets, but best to check before you buy anything.
There probably isn't a limit on the hard drive size, at least not for as long as you will be using it. You could probably put a 1TB hard drive in there just fine to be perfectly honest.

Have synchronised iPad, iPhone, Windows Laptop and Windows Desktop. iPhone holds 500 Contacts whilst other devices only sync 170 Contacts. I have Shared several Contacts to get them over to iPad, Laptop and Desktop. Contacts then appear twice

Synchronised iPad, iPhone, Windows Laptop and Windows Desktop. iPhone contains 500+ Contacts whilst other three devices only display 170 Contacts. I have Shared several Contacts via Message from iPhone. On creating new Contact from each Message, each Contact appears twice on iPad, Laptop and Desktop via iCloud. Assume that a Setting has locked out the Contacts other than the 170 that do appear as duplications indicate that each Contact already exists on the three devices. Appreciate any advice to see all 500+ Contacts on all devices.

Audiobooks normally only allow one download per purchase; this is also the case with alert tones, ringtones, and some movies. They need to be moved manually; if desired, you can network the computers and use file sharing instead of a thumbdrive.

Clarity on Mac laptops and Windows

I've been reading a few posts and now feel confused. Could I beg indulgence and ask what is the deal with the intel laptops and windows?
Can both the Macbook and the Pro run (i.e. boot) straight to windows? If so which versions of windows?
I've been running Virtual PC and Windows XP and it runs like a real dog - practically unusable. I am keen to get a new Mac laptop but really want to be sure I can boot into windows as well. (Sadly most accounting software is PC based, especially in Canada!).
Your help would be much appreciated! Thanks!
Stewart

Yes, it can boot into windows natively, thus using no emulation or virtualization. Supported are Windows XP SP2 versions (home or pro).
You can get more tech details, as well as download the free utility from apple to get this to work on any intel mac here http://www.apple.com/bootcamp

Help! WRT54GL with Windows Vista Basic laptop and Windows XP Home desktop?

Hi. I am going to try and help a friend out and I was wondering if any of you can give me any helpful tips? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Here's the situation...
He recently purchased a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop that's running Windows Vista Basic. He has a Dell desktop computer at home as well that's running Windows XP. I had him purchase a Linksys WRT54GL router. We want to network the laptop running Windows Vista Basic and the desktop running Windows XP. Is there anything we should be aware of? Anything to know before hand that will help the process go smoother? Will I face any issues being that his new laptop is running Windows Vista Basic and his desktop is running Windows XP? I must admit that I know very little to nothing about Windows Vista. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much!

No not very much ... if you are using wired connection then make sure that the IP address on Local Area Connection should be 192.168.1.X ...... try to ping the Gateway address 192.168.1.1 ..... then 4.2.2.2 & at last yahoo.com....
If you are using wireless connection .... then make sure that the wireless network name should be same as in the router ......

System Restore is not working!!! Both my mac laptop and now my Windows 7 desktop will not allow me to restore previous sessions.

Try to use the "Restore Previous Session" entry in the History menu instead.

Dual Boot Linux and Windows problem with HDDRecovery

Hello
I`m using dual OS Windows Vista and Linux open SUSE distribution on Toshiba Satellite A350-10z, everything is working great except Windows Recovery. I have Linux (boot:dev/sda6) and Windows Vista (boot:dev/sda2). Windows has 2 partitions, Disk C and D, on Disc D i have HDDRecovery folder. After F8 i using the repair option and waiting, then the massage is displayed "The installed program cannot start. Click OK to turn off the computer".
Before i installed Linux the Recovery worked fine. Is there a chance of using the HDDRecovery from Windows Disk D or i have to boot from Recovery DVD?

In my opinion Linux has muddled up the partitions or MBR and possibly this is the reason why the HDD recover does not work seems the Recover DVD is your option ion order to set the notebook back to factory settings.
By the way: I didnt install the Linux on my notebook but I use Linux using the Knoppix Live CD

Problem with ASUS laptop and Windows 8

Hii
I have a problem with my ASUS vivo LAPTOP. Its running on Windows 8 and going pretty well, but sometimes when I use the Google chrome browser and open multiple pages the computer freezes and does nothing which requires me to shut it down by long pressing
the power button.
The question is what is the problem and does this process of long pressing the power button to shut it down harm my computer Hardware or Software?

Are you sure the issue is happening only when you use Google chrome. Then, it is an issue with the browser. Remove chrome and then re-install and check if that fix the issue.
Regarding force shut down is only meant to be used in emergency situations. If the computer is forced to shutdown everytime, this can lead to formation of bad sectors in hard disk and reduce its life span.
Hope this helps.

I just purchased a new laptop and windows 8 is giving me a problem

If your laptop is running Windows 8 on an Intel-based x86 or x64 processor, you can install the desktop version of Adobe Reader XI to rotate a view.
To install Adobe Reader XI,
Go to Windows desktop.

I have a problem with Downloads, firefox does not recongise the .doc format despite me having word 2007 loaded only a problem since a new laptop, and windows 7 professional, any ideas?

When Trying to download a word file I get this error message: " *.doc could not be opened, becasue the associated helper application does not exist change the association in your prefernces. " Have checked preferences, and IE opens up the file pointing to something wrong with firefox.

I should have explained further. The game opens in a new window over to the upper left of my screen, leaving the original page underneath. I tried minimizing it so that I could get to my toolbar and did the View > Zoom > Reset. This has no effect. The lower portion of the game is still not showing. Using other browsers the window or frame of the game is much larger, therefore everything shows.

IPod Photo 60G and Windows problems

I am unable to connect my Photo 60G iPod to my current computer.
I can connect it successfully to my laptop, so I know that the fault is not with the iPod or the iPod cord. I can connect my daughter's rather elderly 10G iPod to this current machine successfully, so I know it isn't this computer or the iTunes software.
What I can not do is connect the 60G iPod. When I do, the iPod gets the 'Do Not Disconnect' icon going but then computer usually freezes before opening iTunes and I can only sort it out by shutting off the machine. If I open iTunes first and then connect it, the iPod does not show up and sometimes the 'Do Not Connect' icon comes on and sometimes it doesn't.
If I leave iTunes closed, attach the iPod and then try to access it via the iPod updater in the Programs menu, it either freezes the machine as above or it gives an error message saying I need to restore my iPod (which I clearly don't, as not only is it working perfectly, it also connects fine to the laptop.) In all these instances, if I try to eject it from the USB port by clicking on the icon in the tray to bring up the 'eject safely' box, it will bring up the initial box and then freeze before bringing up the second confirmation box. In all these freezes, it ties up the machine so badly I have to turn it off at source. It will not even allow me to close down using Task Manager.
The iPod does generally show up in Windows, if I get that far and it doesn't freeze the machine before. Often it will then freeze the machine if I try to look at it in Device Manager or Windows Explorer.
I have done the following things to resolve the problem:
1) Completely removed iTunes and the iPod Updater (numerous times), cleared out all their crap from the seven zillion places it goes on the machine, and re-installed cleanly using only the most up-to-date downloaded versions of both (plus, of course, have also tried the old versions, just in case.) In all instances, my daughter's small iPod works and mine doesn't.
2) Tried the iPod on every single one of the USB ports on the machine, just in case one wasn't working. (They all are.)
3) Followed the instructions on these two pages on this site to resolve the problem:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61711
4) I searched Google Groups, where I found a reference to one problem I was having with the iPod updater which said it could be traced to an issue stemming ultimately from Apple's lack of understanding of the Windows platform and that the software couldn't cope with multiple drives or things not being on the C: drive. I do have my hard disk partitioned and formatted as drives C and D with everything defaulting to D. I would have expected Apple to have fixed this problem by now, as the was in March, so I made sure I have only the latest software, but this hasn't made any difference. I also tried specifically installing it to the C section of my drive but this didn't make any difference either. I suspect this may be a red herring, as if it were a genuine issue, I wouldn't expect my daughter's iPod to work either.
I don't want to be confined to only downloading music to my laptop, which is very old and slow and has a small hard disk. The problem seems to be very specific to the iPod 60G and I'm trying to figure out how it is different from the smaller iPod my daughter has and how to resolve it.
Any suggestions?

The battery will not charge eithger. I have left it in a computer and ab outlet charger both for 1 hour, but no juice is going to the iPod. Is the cord dead? Or is the battery messed up? What is going on?

Unable to connect mac laptops and windows laptops on network at same time

Hi I have a wrt110 router which has a wired windows desktop attached. I also have several mac laptops connected wirelessly as well as an hp printer ,video game system blue ray player ,ipod,iphone and kindle all which connect with no problem. I have a pc laptop (Dell) which can see and connect to my network but does not connect to the internet . I tried disabling and even temporarily removing the antivirus software plus disabling the firewall but with no success. I am at my wits end because I need the pc laptop for work. The internet will connect to the pc laptop when I hard connect it into the router.
DSL through Earthlink .
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try this. Disable IPv6 on all Win 7 computers under LAN properties for both wired and wireless adapters. Reboot computers. Leave the MAC's turned off for now. Try to connect all the devices except the MAC's. If successful connect the MAC's and if they have issue's, disable IPv6 on those now too. Make sure the WRT110 on on firmware 1.0.04 or above.

UTF-8, Unicode, XML and windows problems

Hi there,
I'm developing an application which uses a lot of russian text.
This russian text is stored in XML and can be sent to a server remotly
I use the standard javax.xml libaries to parse the xml files and DBunits XMLWriter to write generate XML strings.
The XML returned by the DBunit stuff is UTF-8, but its inside a UTF-16 string.
So when I generate xml and print it out I get something that looks like the following:
�� ?��Thats ok, beacause I can stick that streight into a file when writing files and it works.
But the problem comes when sending the XML over the server.
The sending implentation I use must be able to send java generated utf-16 and xml read utf-8.
So I convert the XML from utf-8 to utf-16, using the following:
byte[] stringBytesISO = isoString.getBytes("ISO-8859-1");
utf8String = new String(stringBytesISO, "UTF-8");And that works perfectly on my linux system.
However when I run it on windows, it only seems to convert some of the characters
Привычным �?ном за�?нут дороги до ве�?ны,Does anyone know whats going wrong here?

Ideally, you should use the same library to write the XML as you do to read it, but you definitely shouldn't be using DbUnit in this context.
The XML returned by the DBunit stuff is UTF-8, but its inside a UTF-16 string. That should never happen. XML is just text, and text can either be in the form of a Java string, or it can be stored externally using a text encoding like UTF-8. Never mind that Java strings use the UTF-16 encoding; you don't need to know or mention that. Encodings only come into play when you're communicating with something outside your program, like a file system or a database.
When you generate the XML, you specify that the encoding is UTF-8. When you read the XML, you specify that the encoding is UTF-8. That's all.

CS6 for windows on mac laptop and windows desktop?

I have a CS6 license for windows but want to use the same license on my desktop Windows PC and my laptop mac, is it possible?

Only if you run Windows in Parallels or Bootcamp on the Mac and run CS6 in the virtual Windows environment.
If not, the other option is to join the Cloud.
