Satellite L675D-S7105 not reading memory correctly

My BIOS is reading 2048 RAM installed and Windows 7 Home Basic says 4gb with 1.75gb usable.
How can I get the full 4gb of RAM usable on my system? I mean, I paid for a system with 4gb....It'd be nice to have use of it.

The short answer is you will never be able to make the full 4GB available.
The long answer. Your above specifications show that your system came with the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 Graphics Card with 256MB-1917MB of dynamically allocated shared graphics memory. What that memory statement means is that your graphics card has no dedicated VRAM of its own. So, it uses your system RAM to display graphic images, and dynamically allocates up to ~1.9GB of your system RAM to do so.
So, a significant portion of your RAM is always in use by your system for Windows and any other open programs, and another big chunk is being used by your graphics card, the total of which is unavailable.
To see how your RAM is being used/allocated press Ctrl-Alt-Del buttons all at the same time -> click on 'Task Manager' -> click on the 'Performance' tab at the top -> click on the 'Resource Monitor' button at bottom right -> click on the 'Memory' tab at the top -> look at the 'Physical Memory' graphic at the bottom. It will look something like this. But, my graphics card has dedicated VRAM so none of the system RAM is being used by the grpahics card:

  • Satellite Pro P100-327: memory card reader does not read Memory Stick Duo

    I just got a P100-327
    http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/jsp/productPage.do?service=UK&PRODUCT_ID=121991&toshib aShop=true)
    which, according to that page, is supposed to have "1 x 5-in-1 Bridge Media slot (supports SD Card, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, MultiMedia Card, xD-Picture Card)" but the pdf user manual that came with it says that it does not support Memory Stick Duo, Memory Stick Pro Duo or mini-SD.
    However, I have a Memory Stick Pro, and a Memory Stick Pro Duo in a Memory Stick Pro adapter and the reader can't seem to read either of them (they should both count as Memory Stick Pro which should be readable right?)
    Should I be able to read my Memory Stick Pro cards? Why can't I since it says I should be able to? Do I need to install something first?

    Hi
    In my knowledge and according to the manual the Bridge Media slot supports Media of type
    - SD Memory Card
    - MultiMediaCard xD-Picture Card
    - Memory Stick
    - Memory Stick Pro
    Please note that the Memory Stick and Memory Stick Pro are not the same as Memory stick Duo and Memory Stick Pro Duo.
    Dont mix it.

  • Satellite M60-104 - memory card reader does not read memory stick pro duo

    Hi guys,
    the built in card reader on my laptop does not recognize/read sony's memory stick pro duo - is this normal or not?
    I know it should read memory stick pro but not sure about pro duo.
    Can you help me please?

    Hi
    >the built in card reader on my laptop does not recognize/read sony's memory stick pro duo - is this normal or not?
    Of course this could be normal behavior because not all cards are compatible and supported.
    I would recommend taking look into the user manual because there you can find a information which cards can be used in the notebooks card reader!!!

  • Satellite P200D - Won't read Memory Stick Pro duo Adapter

    Kia Ora
    My Satellite P200 won't read my Memory Stick Pro Duo in the adapter, both Sony Brand.
    I'm running Vista Home Premium. SD cards are read OK.
    The adapter works fine in my PC running XP home premium. I have tried two different pro duo cards. Please help!

    Hi
    I think you should check your user manual because this type of card is not supported:
    +Memory Stick Duo/PRO Duo and the Memory Stick adaptor are not compatible with the Multiple Digital Media Card slot. Do not insert Memory Stick Duo/PRO Duo into the slot. Data may be lost or damaged if you use any card other than those supported.+
    Do you have more questions? ;)

  • Thunderbolt Not reading Battery Correctly

    Hey there!
    I have been searching the net for this particular problem I am having and sofar have found nothing, so I was hoping maybe you guys could help me out.
    My Thunderbolt after fully charging the battery will show at the highest about 60% battery life, if not lower. This morning for example it would only show 29%. I have bought 2 additional extended batteries for the phone, both will show around the same percent when fully charged.
    I have tried doing the whole battery calibration "thing", with no success whatsoever. One time, after my phone died; I took the battery out of my phone and put it in my friends phone and it showed 82% remaining, yet my phone would say 0% and die. I have done multiple Factory Resets as well.
    I've heard of a few other people having this problem and just warranting back the phone, but thats the problem. My warranty ran out a couple months ago. I had to replace my thunderbolt twice for random annoying issues, and when I got my Third phone (current), the battery wouldnt charge past 80% but i figured the battery was going out and not that big of a deal. The warranty ran out a couple months after I received my current phone so I decided to finally by addition Extended Batteries. And here I am. -_-
    At most the battery will last maybe 3 hours under use, 5-6 with light use. If i leave it in standby, maybe around 8 hours. And this is with the Extended battery!
    When my Phone dies, I am capable of pulling the battery out, waiting a minute, and putting the battery back in and wala! it will have a sudden 2-5% of battery life left again. I can usually do it 4-5 times before it wont work anymore.
    Occasionally the phone will drain fast, get to anywhere from 19-2% and just sit at one specific percent for a few hours.
    I have tried multiple charging cables including: Car Charger, Stock Phone Charger, Offbrand wall charger, and PC-USB charging.
    I am thinking my phone is not reading the battery voltage correctly. When my phone stops charging, or really just sits at a random percent for forever, it shows roughly 3.822V. When the battery is "dead" according to my phone, it shows around 3.6 - 3.5V. I'm not completely sure if that is normal, or even relevant.
    Any help would be most appreciated, thank you! And I apologize for the long post.

    PC Charging is the Worst What i would Recommend is a H.T.C charger And buy a  H.T.C  O.E.M Battery a Extended Type if Possible.
    These two Items at Android Central Cost about what the The Battery it Self cost. Just a Few Months Back Please give these a Look i don't think you will be disappointed.  The Battery Cost $34.99  the Charger $14.95  plus a little for S&H.. b33

  • Satellite S855-S5264 not reading DVDs or CDs

    The computer will play Blu Rays but it will not read anything else from the optical drive.  I have uninstalled the driver, restarted the computer and still nothing.  I have also ran the Microsoft Fixit tool and it cannot repair the issue but suggests that the media type may be wrong.  So unless this particular Blu Ray combo drive cannot read anything from the factory it has an issue.

    It sounds like you'll need to contact customer support at (800) 457-7777.

  • Satellite M40 does not read from product Recovery DVD

    Hey all.
    I have a bit of a problem that I hope someone can help me.
    My Satellite M40 notebook fell while it was in the bag and the dvd drive stopped working .
    I had it repaired and it plays cds but I can't get the recovery disk to work.
    It opens but for some reason the files are unreadable.
    When I try to press C after turning it on, the computer sounds like it is about to work but then the windows XP icon just appears.
    Can anyone help or offer advice? I'd really appreciate

    I just checked my dvd recording device Sonic and it is not there. The read me file and all are there but the actual program I cannot find. So do I need to download that?
    The Sonic and other additional tools are placed only on the Additional Software CD which should be delivered together with the M40.
    >How do I know which firmware is compatible or goes with my dvd drive? How can I check?
    As already said!!! The firmware could be found on the CD/DVD drive manufacturer site!
    I dont know what drive you have bought and I dont know the drive details!

  • UCCX 8.5 not reading prompts correctly

    Well this is something deep diving in uccx scripting and prompt reading...anyway I have following setup:
    - UCCX 8.5 - migrated to this version from version 5.
    In script which we are using there are steps where customer puts some digits (account number for example) - we collect that digits and send them to main server - that server responds with raw message where is information about account (money status, date of last payment, approvable minus on account and date until it's active etc.).
    That same script works without problem under CCX 5 and Windows environment - in CCX 8 it works but sometimes, and really sometimes, it doesn't give all prompts as it should. For example - it gives you money status, payment date and then, when it's supposed to continue and read all other information, it just stops and goes to next step in main script! Sametime other accounts works just fine and all info are given - that is we have problem with some particular account not the whole of them!
    Also when I did debuging I can clearly see that main server is sending all required info and that script is correctly writing that info into adequate variables ready to be readed - but as i said when we came to reading sometimes we have mentioned errors.
    We manage to solve this temporarily with simple solution - we are inserting blank prompt (1s or 0.5s timed) before actual variable...and this is the weirdest thing - it plays correctly after that!
    So based on this what I wrote:
    DOES SOMEONE HAVE SOME KIND OF EXPERIENCE WHY IS THIS HAPPENING IN CCX 8 AFTER MIGRATION? WHAT IS CAUSING THAT PROMPTS DOESN'T BE PLAYED AS IT SHOULD? AND WHY INSERTING BLANK TIMEOUT BEFORE ACTUAL READING OF PROMPT VARIABLE IS SOLVING THE PROBLEM?
    Are there some kind of buffers which needs to be modified or something?
    Hope that you understand this weird problem - and I'm open to discuss this with all of you who are deep in CCX story...
    BR,
    Dragan

    Hi troyputnam,
    It's not necessary a restart. Which folder do you upload the prompt, en_US? If you upload the prompt at a different folder, you will need to specify for every prompt to not look at the default Prompt Folder.

  • Date filter not reading dates correctly

    I've noticed that since Bridge CS5 came out, the filter on date is not working correctly. For example,I'm looking at a series of images that I captured today (Sept 7th), and the date shown in the metadata panel of Bridge ays "Today". Yet, the Filter pane shows only "yesterday", not "today" as an option. When I click on "yesterday", Bridge displays the files that I took today! (And for the record, I'm using Bridge on Sept 7th, at 6 PM Pacific time when I'm posting this.)

    Sorry, hope you can read the details...
    Thanks, screenshot is clear, I see it but can't believe my eyes I'm
    afraid....
    Tried to reproduce it on my system but can't achieve this, pictures shot at
    same day as 'today' give today in the filter panel and yesterday also
    correctly filtered.
    You have of course already checked the date and time of your camera?
    But that should reflect also the data in the EXIF shown under file
    properties in the Metadata section.
    Assuming you have already tried to reset the Bridge Preferences (holding
    down option key while restarting Bridge) you could also repeat this after
    having manual deleted the AdobeBridge4.plist file from the preference folder
    in the User library.
    If still no luck, a way to narrow the possibilities down is if you have CS4
    still installed you could try it in Bridge CS4 with the same files.
    If it shows correct in CS4 it might be related to your CS5 install  or to
    NEF from D200 and Bridge CS5.
    If it shows also incorrect in CS4 it might be related with your User account
    or OSX.

  • Update rule not reading MD correctly

    I have an ODS that has update rules.  One of the field (Substatus) has to read Appraisal Document Master data as per the update rule.  The Appraisal Document master data has the Substatus valu of 3 which is correct.  Unfortunately, the ODS shows the value as 0. 
    How could this happen?
    Points will be assigned.
    -Sonny

    Hi,
    which update u are loading delta or full
    if u r loading delta update it only brings the changed records.
    r u loading for the first time. if not it brings 0 because the data may not be changed in master data.
    if u r loading for the first time then it brings the value 3.
    check data in active data table and ur master data it will be ok.
    thanks,

  • FCP not reading templates correctly from Motion (Urgent)

    Hi all,
    I am trying to work in FCP (6.06) with templates created in Motion 3.0.2 But FCP seems to be seeing video drop zones as text layers!?
    If I use a pre-existing template (or one I have created), when I bring it in to FCP I get the correct amount of input dialogue boxes for the amount of layers in the template, but regardless of whether they are drop zones or text layers the control dialogue box in FCP looks the same and I am unable to actually get anything to appear correctly on the timeline. It's driving me nuts!!
    Also: when I have a template on my FCP timeline I am unable to save the project! I delete the template from the timeline and am able to save the project again...
    Even weirder: I'm getting the same result on two machines!!
    Any Ideas what could be causing this!? (i've tried software update and re-start)
    Best
    GK

    Thank you to those who replied. By further process of elimination I have discovered that Motion does not recognize the ProRes 4444 Alpha Channel. When using a clip with the Animation Codec, it reads the alpha channel perfectly. The ProRes 4444 Clips I exported from Motion with Alpha work perfectly in After Effects ... so clearly Apple has a bug to fix

  • ITunes not reading feed correctly

    I've had a feed with you for awhile now http://feeds.feedburner.com/VegetarianFoodForThought, and recently I had some trouble with an old version of the feed being read by iTunes.
    After a couple days, it rectified itself, so all of the podcast episodes and the correct photo is showing up on iTunes, but there are still problems:
    1. The description that I have configured through Feedburner to appear on iTunes is not being reflected on my iTunes page. How is it that the photo is correct, the mp3 files are correct, but the description is wrong?
    2. Something has gotten totally messed up with my subscribers in my account with Feedburner. Before I had these problems with my feed, my subscribers totaled about 1400. Since the problem with iTunes has been semi-rectified, only 300+ subscribers are showing up in my account with you. When I asked Feedburner about it, this was their response:
    "Looks like the drop was on june 17th. On that day, it seemed your feed was unreachable given the FeedMedic report under the Troubleshootize page at feedburner.com
    Given the feed at your site was unreachable for about a day, I'm not sure how iTunes responds, if it auto drops the subscription or, perhaps it changed back to an old feed address. In any case, most of the aggregators that represent your top subscribers have consistent numbers after the 18th except for the huge drop in iTunes Windows and iTunes mac subscribers.
    Your feed seems to be working fine since then so you might want to see if Apple can provide any insight into how they are processing your feed or the description issue."
    Now I just don't know what to do. Any insights? Thoughts? Wisdom? Thank you!

    Easy. The iTunes database is pointing to
    http://www.compassionatecooks.com/podcast/fb-podcasts.
    xml
    which includes the <itunes:summary> tag (which is
    where iTunes gets the podcast description) of:
    itunes:summary>Each episode addresses commonly
    asked questions about being vegetarian/vegan,
    including those regarding animal rights, food,
    cooking, nutrition, and debunks the myths surrounding
    these issues.</itunes:summary>
    Which is what iTunes is showing on the description.
    iTunes will always pull the podcast description from
    the <itunes:summary> tag over the rss <description>
    tag (which is what a RSS reader or RSS enabled
    browser would show as your description.
    This may also account for your drop in subscribers.
    You're no longer pointing iTunes to the Feedburner
    URL, so new subscribers are being giving
    http://www.compassionatecooks.com/podcast/fb-podcasts.
    xml as a feed url and are subscribing to that feed.
    Erik
    Thank you! Where do I go to submit the feedburner URL for my existing podcast. I assume http://feeds.feedburner.com/VegetarianFoodForThought is the feed link I need to submit.

  • Satellite 1130 does not power up correctly

    Recently my Toshiba Satellite 1130 Laptop is playing up...
    It will not boot up fully and after many many attempts at rebooting finally got it to boot to xp only to have it shut itself down again.
    Pressing and holing the powr on button for a few seconds starts up the laptop but how far it gets into the boot up sequence varies (only twice has it booted to Xp then shut down again)
    I have tried with just Battery, Just AC, Ac & Battery.
    The problem is recent and nothing has happened to the laptop to cause a problem ...
    Can anyone help?

    > Recently my Toshiba Satellite 1130 Laptop is playing up... It will not boot up fully and after many attempts at rebooting finally got it to boot to xp only to have it shut itself down again.
    You mean the notebook shuts down automatically without any warnings?
    Hmm the notebook is an oldie and your descriptions sounds like an overheating issue
    In many cases the notebooks shut down because the internal temperature is too high.
    The reasons could be different but mostly the ventilators and cooling grilles are clogged and dust prevents the fans from properly working.
    I think that you could try to clean the ventilators using a compressed air spray.
    You could buy such spray from different computer dealers
    Then clean the ventilators and check if the issue would still persist.

  • Script UI onClick listener not reading selection correctly

    for some reason when I call the event listener on a button it doesn't want to store the selection  (might be losing selection onBlur? not sure)
    there are several lines that really confuse me, because of scope, they should have access to the selection since it is defined outside the function. Here is a gist of the code since I cant stand forums syntax highlighting :X

    line 43-50 are where I am the most confused. any ideas?

    doesn't that defeat the purpose of palette....? I'm confused. rather not use dialog becaues it's persistant. how would I go about adding a panel to illustrator? I know there is configurator in Photoshop, do I have to get into C to program a pallette or can I use Flex or something similar...?
    I'm very familiar with dialog, its the persistance that I am after.
