Windows 7 Starter supporting 2GB memory?

I upgraded my Ideapad s10-3, (which I just bought a few weeks ago) with a 2 GB memory module. I wonder if Windows 7 Starter supports 2GB memory. In the manuals it it is said, w7 Starter does not support 2GB. However, when I start up the Task Manager it shows memory usage of over 1GB, depending on how many applications I have started. How can I check it. Any help is appreciated.

@ vijaysaradhi your link goes to this page. @ KlausWieland what does it say when you open the system settings in the control panel or by right clicking my computer and click properties. It will show you there.

  • Will HP Mini 110-1006tu support 2GB memory?

    The HP specification table shows a maximum of 1GB only. However, the motherboard chipset (i945GSE+ICH7M) should support up to 2GB.
    Has anyone tried 2GB yet? Will that work on this model?

    Very impressed so far with HP mini but have not had any contact with HP support or a need so far.... unit only 2 weeks old.
    Just hope they did not cheap out on the 6 cell  battery as have had poor experience with other laptop batteries life expectancy in the past.

  • HP D017TU Laptop - Windows Help ans Support window started popping up and i can't get ride of it

    Just purchased a brand new HP D017TU Laptop so nothing been done with it. I installed windows 7 on my HP D017TU laptop. it was working fine.
    Then 2 days ago the Windows Help ans Support window started popping up and now I can't get ride of it.
    I have tried the following things to get ride of the issue,
    1) Format windows 7 os
    2) Delete All partition and re-create
    3) Re-install windows 7
    Does anyone know how I can stop this happening.

    Hello SaravSB, welcome to teh HP Forums.
    I see that you're having an issue where the Windows help and support is popping up. I will try to help you with this.
    I've looked into this for you, it seems this was an issue from back when Windows 7 launched. Any "solutions" also seemed to vary user to user. You may want to try contacting Microsoft for support on this. I was able to find a couple of posts off the answers.microsoft.com forums.

    Hello
    I found a simple yet effective solution for this problem, my friend had the same issue so instinctively as a technician, I suspect this was a malware of somekind so I re-formatted and installed Win7 funny it's still there, so I did a Hard disk wipe using Dalvik's and re-partitioned and formatted again, to my surprise it still have the same problem.
    So I ask Mr. Goo' old Mr. Google for answer, but I've found more complications, sorry for the story, so without further a do, the solution.
    Boot to safe mode. (may also work in "normal mode")
    Go to Task Manager>
    Click the Services Tab>
    Right click "HelpPane.exe" or Help and support service>
    Select Properties>
    Click the Security tab>
    Click the Advanced tab (for permissions options)
    Then select the "permissions entries" one at a time>
    Click Change Permissions>
    Then click Edit>
    CLEAR ALL THE CHECK BOX FOR ALL ENTRIES
    This should prevent access to the HelpPane.exe to all users/programs.
    This resolved my friends Windows 7 "Help and Support thingy" issue, hope it does yours too.
    Message me for questions and/or clarifications/corrections.
    Thank you"

    To fix the problem of the help pane appearing everytime you start windows do the following:
    1. Run 'msconfig'
    2. Go to the 'Startup' tab
    3. One of your 'Startup items' is causing the pane to appear and you are going to have to find out which one it is!  Untick ALL the items and reboot.  The help pane will not appear harrah!  Rather than adding the Startup Items back in one at a time and rebooting a hundred times, tick half the programs back in and reboot.  You can find the culprit in about 5 reboots if you do it logically and add/remove half/quarter etc at a time.
    4.  Finally you will be left with all your Startup items ticked and the guilty program unticked (and that annoying help pane will no longer be appearing)
    5. Now delete the guilty Startup Item from the registry (which will also remove it from the msconfig startup tab.
    6. Open 'regedit'
    7. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg and delete the guilty program folder.  BACKUP YOUR REGISTRY FIRST!
    8.  You're welcome."
    Both of those, as well as other steps are located in this thread: Windows 7 "Help and Support" keeps popping up.
    You could try those suggestions and even give that thread a read over, other wise the best option would be contacting Microsoft as stated above.
    Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

  • [P965 NEO] Why max memory 8gb but don't support 2gb module?

    Why max memory supported is  8gb and has 4 slots,  but don't support 2gb DDR2 800mhz module?
    The memory is CORSAIR PC2-6400 XMS2 DHX DUAL CHANNEL 2GB.

    Why max memory supported is  8gb and has 4 slots,  but don't support 2gb DDR2 800mhz module?
    This is an (Intel!) chipset (memory controller) limitation rather than a board or BIOS problem.  Intel states it somewhat differently:
    http://www.intel.com/Assets/PDF/datasheet/313053.pdf
    Quote
    Supports 256-Mb, 512-Mb, and 1-Gb technologies for x8 and x16 devices (DDR2
    800MHz 1Gb technology not supported)
    Intel refers to the density rather than the memory capacity/size.  Look at this Kingston module model for example:
    http://www.valueram.com/datasheets/KVR800D2N5_2G.pdf
    Quote
    The components on this module include
    sixteen 128M x 8-bit DDR2-800 SDRAM in FBGA packages
    "128M x 8-bit" refers to the density of the memory chips used on those modules (=1024 Mbit or 1Gbit (1Gb)).  There are sixteen of those 128M x 8-bit chips on the module which gives you a capacity of precisely 1024Mbit x 16 = 16384 Mbit (2024 MByte). 
    A 2GB DDR2-800 module that meets the Intel specifications for the P965 memory controller (512Mbit maximum density for DDR2 800) would need to have 64M x 8-bit components but would need precisely 32 of those chips to reach a capacity of 2GByte.  Try to find a DDR2-800 module that can hold 32 memory chips and you will be able to run them @DDR2-800.  To my knowledge such modules do not exits (the module I used as an example has 8 chips on each side).
    That is where the limitation comes from (it is not an MSI thing). 

  • I have windows 7 starter on my netbook and the latest version of Firefox seems to not do well. Ho do I get back to Firefox 4? Or is there another version/customizations that is better?

    The latest version of Firefox tends to not agree with my windows 7 starter netbook. I get a lot of hangups and crashes. I would like to download Firefox 4 again but can't seem to find it on your site in order to download it. Do you have any other suggestions that would be a good fit for windows 7 starter?
    Also, I keep getting messages saying that Firefox is causing high CPU and memory usage on my netbook.

    Due to security vulnerabilities, rolling back to Firefox 4.0.1 is not recommended. Version 3.6.18 would be a safer choice.
    Here's the process to roll back:
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
    Close Firefox 5.
    You could install Firefox 3.6 over it (many have reported success) or you could uninstall Firefox first. If you uninstall, do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
    Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, Firefox 3.6 should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.
    Note: If you don't have Firefox ask you before updating, you may need to set that to prevent an automatic update back to Firefox 5. Tools > Options > Advanced, Update mini-tab

  • Tips for blue screen (BSOD) errors with Windows Vista and Intel Turbo Memory on X61/X61s

    Important note: The symptoms and solutions described below address only a small subset of the possible causes for blue screen errors, aka BSOD.
    This information can help address blue screen errors specifically
    related to Turbo Memory, but may not solve errors related to other
    issues. Please read through the instructions completely, make sure they
    apply to your system, and after attempting the solutions please post
    back with your feedback for the community.
    Some users may experience random blue screen errors with ThinkPad
    systems running Windows Vista with Intel Turbo Memory hardware. These
    blue screens may occur during normal usage on the system or they may
    occur when booting into Windows Vista. Blue screens related to the
    Intel Turbo Memory hardware may reference a stop code of 8086 with
    memory address locations of {0, 0, 0, 0}.
    There are two main steps that you can take to help resolve blue screen issues related to Intel Turbo Memory.
    Step 1: Update Intel Turbo Memory Driver
    If the driver version is before version 1.0.1.1004-7.0.3.1001, please
    update to this version.
    To determine what version of the Intel Turbo Memory driver is installed:
    1.    Click Start, then click Control Panel.
    2.    Click System and Maintenance.
    3.    Click System.
    4.    Click Device Manager.
    5.    Expand the Storage controllers category.
    6.    Double-click Intel Flash Cache Logic Chip.
    7.    Click the Driver tab. Then you will see the driver version (for example, 1.0.1.1004).
    The new driver and installation instructions can be found here.
    Note: The Intel Matrix Storage Driver is updated with this package.
    Step 2: BIOS version
    If your BIOS version is older than those listed below, please update to the version listed.
    How to check your BIOS version:
    Turn off the system.
    Turn on the system.
    While the To interrupt normal startup, press the blue ThinkVantage button message is displayed at the lower-left area of the screen, press the F1 key.
    The
    BIOS Setup Utility menu will be displayed. If you have set a supervisor
    password, the BIOS Setup Utility menu appears after you enter the
    password.
    Check BIOS Version and Embedded Controller Version.
    Turn off the system.
    System BIOS versions:
    ThinkPad X61 or X61s - BIOS version 1.06 (7NET25WW)
    Please
    remember that these updates do not solve every possible system blue
    screen, but they do resolve several problems related to the Intel Turbo
    Memory driver.

    X60 Tablet SXGA+ primary, Z61p fully loaded workhorse

    Dear Tim,
    First off, many thanks for the tips for resolving BSOD with Vista + Turbo Memory on X61.  I've been suffering from this BSOD for countless times since I bought in my X61 7673-CW9 in April 2008.
    Even prior to having the pleasure to visit this wonderful forum, I followed both steps as indicated, and updated my Intel Turbo Memory driver to 1.5.0.1013 and my BIOS to 7NETB4WW (2.14).  However, the BSOD recurrs.
    For the past two months, I've recovered my system to factory default settings using Rescue and Recovery for over twenty times, each time with the latest Intel Turbo Memory driver and BIOS.  Notwithstanding that, BSOD recurrs.
    During these painful experiences, I tried two options: 1) making my X61 up-to-date by using System Update and Windows Update (including Vista SP1 or excluding Vista SP1); 2) keeping my X61 the status as factory default (i.e. without updating through either System Update or Windows Update (the automatic/scheduled update function of both is turned off)).  In either case, BSOD recurrs.
    I'm 100% positive that the BSOD does not arise from any hardware or software/firmware I install.  I never install any hardware (e.g. RAM).  And, it is not caused by any software/firmware I install: the clear and unequivocal evidence is that at one time,I encountered BSOD while having restored back to factory setting and booting for the first time.
    I live in Taiwan, and I seldom heard this BSOD here.  All of my friends (as most of Taiwan residents) using X61 operate in Traditional Chinese environment, whereas I operate in English environment.  In Taiwan, when booting for the first time after purchase/recovery, the Windows Vista Business system provides for lanuage choice (Traditional Chinese or English), and, once chosen, the language cannot be altered later on (unless, of course, the system is restored back to factory default settings).
    My system specs are the same as the day I purchased it and are listed below (as I'm not sure if my machine type X61 7673-CW9 is applicable outside Taiwan):
    Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T8300 @ 2.4GHz
    Memory: 1.00 G.B.
    System: Windows Vista Business (32-bit)
    Hard Drive: 160 G.B. @ 7,200 r.p.m.
    And, of course, with Intel Turbo Memory 1 G.B.
    I contacted the Lenovo support staff here in Taiwan for countless times, but they seem to be clueless.  I learned that some friends at this forum downgraded their OS back to Windows XP, but I chose not to.  The reason is simple: my purchase price for X61 7673-CW9 includes the Intel Turbo Memory, which cannot function under Windows XP (at least so far).
    Therefore, I just wish to share my experience here and perhaps I can get some advice from you and other friends here.  Any advice will be tremendously and enormously appreciated.

  • Desktop Window Manager Service on Windows 7 Starter - Any Reason to Leave It Running?

    Hello everyone,
    -As per title, I'd like to know whether is it better to turn off Desktop Window Manager Session Manager (UxSms) service on Windows 7 Starter - or not. I mean changing the service's default startup type from Automatic to Manual (or Disabled).
    -In Windows 7 Starter, the Aero theme and desktop composition are not available at all (not even a basic/partial one), so letting Desktop Window Manager (DWM.exe) to continuously run is useless as it does absolutely nothing. Is my deduction correct?
    -All opinions and suggestions are welcomed, thank you very much.
    Regards,
    -Musafir_86.

    Please read the information posted @
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa969540%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
    Desktop Window Manager
    The desktop composition feature, introduced in Windows Vista, fundamentally changed the way applications display pixels on the screen.  When desktop composition is enabled, individual windows no longer draw directly to the screen or primary display
    device as they did in previous versions of Windows. Instead, their drawing is redirected to off-screen surfaces in video memory, which are then rendered into a desktop image and presented on the display.
    Desktop composition is performed by the Desktop Window Manager (DWM).  Through desktop composition, DWM enables visual effects on the desktop
    as well as various features such as glass window frames, 3-D window transition animations, Windows Flip and Windows Flip3D, and high resolution support.
    The Desktop Window Manager runs as a Windows service. It can be enabled and disabled through the Administrative Tools Control Panel item, under Services, as Desktop Window Manager Session Manager.
    Many of the DWM features can be controlled or accessed by an application through the DWM APIs.  The following documentation describes the features and requirements of the DWM APIs.

  • Windows 8.1 RDP Virtual Memory Error

    I just upgraded to Windows 8.1 and am encountering the same problem as mentioned here:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/lync/en-US/068228a3-78da-4bcf-acb5-3cf5c63dee48/windows-81-preview-remote-desktop-failing-with-low-virtual-memory-error?forum=w81previtpro
    I am trying to use RDP desktop version to connect to a site (which uses RD Gateway). It says "Initiating Connection" and then fails with no error or any notification (there is nothing in the event viewer)
    If I try changing settings (removing sound from RDP, reducing resolution) I eventually get this message:
    [Window Title]
    Remote Desktop Connection
    [Content]
    This computer can't connect to the remote computer.
    The problem might be due to low virtual memory on your computer. Close your other programs, then try connecting again. If the problem continues, contact your network administrator or technical support.
    Connection worked fine on Windows 8 - is this a known 8.1 bug? It is pretty critical for me!
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Since I cannot repro this issue, I considered that following factors may cause this issue:
    Paging file value setting is too low.
    RAM issue
    First, I suggest we try following steps to check the issue:
    Step 1: Increase page file size:
    How to Change The Size of Virtual Memory (pagefile.sys) on Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/danstolts/archive/2013/01/07/how_2d00_to_2d00_change_2d00_the_2d00_size_2d00_of_2d00_virtual_2d00_memory_2d00_pagefile_2d00_sys_2d00_on_2d00_windows_2d00_8_2d00_or_2d00_windows_2d00_server_2d00_2012.aspx
    Step 2: Run Memory diagnostic tool:
    From Start, type mdsched.exe, and then press Enter. Normally, text that you type on Start is entered into the Apps Search box by default.
    Choose whether to restart the computer and run the tool immediately or schedule the tool to run at the next restart.
    Windows Memory Diagnostic runs automatically after the computer restarts and performs a standard memory test. If you want to perform fewer or more tests, press F1, use the up and down arrow keys to set the Test Mix as Basic, Standard, or Extended, and
    then press F10 to apply the desired settings and resume testing.
    When testing is complete, the computer restarts. You’ll see the test results when you log on.
    If this issue still persists after above steps, I recommend you helping to do following test and let me know the results:

  • Should I upgrade to Snow Leopard/ Lion using a MacBook Pro with 2.26 GHz Inetl Core 2 Duo Processor and 2GB Memory? Can my old macbook take it?

    Should I upgrade to Snow Leopard/ Lion using a MacBook Pro with 2.26 GHz Inetl Core 2 Duo Processor and 2GB Memory? Can my old macbook take it?

    Yes. You should be fine with Snow Leopard, but Lion requires a minimum of 2 GBs of RAM. If you upgrade to Lion I would first upgrade your RAM to at least 4 GBs if your model supports it. Also, see:
    How to Install OS X Updates Successfully
    A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
    Boot from your current OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally. 
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    B. Make a Bootable Backup Using Restore Option of Disk Utility:
    Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
    C. Important: Please read before installing:
    If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before installing the update unless you will boot from this drive and install the update on it. Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is complete and you've restarted.
    You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-party system software modifications, or if you have modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
    The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below) from Apple Downloads to update.  While the installation is in progress do not use the computer.
    D. To upgrade:
    Purchase the Snow Leopard Retail DVD.
    Boot From The OS X Installer Disc:
    Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
    Restart the computer.
    Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
    Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo appears.
    Wait for installer to finish loading.
    E. If updating:
    Download and install update(s) 
    Use Software Update, or
    Download standalone updater(s).

  • Firefox start taking more memory without stop, even when closed

    Hi Firefox Team,
    I have been Firefox user for almost 10 years. I love your product. But recently Firefox has show an estrange behavior. After use my laptop (VAIO, Intel i7, 12GB RAM, 256 SSD, Windows 7 Professional x64) without restart it for a couple of days (instead of restart, I sleep it), and with Firefox (35.0.1) running the same period of time, it start to take memory without stop, 5MB/s approximately. A couple of time I did some test and it reach 2 GB of RAM and continue. Also, even if I close Firefox, it still running on background taking the memory, so I have to end it from Task Manager.
    Please let me know which evidence or test should I perform so I can send you more information, beside description.

  • Source for 2GB Memory for NB100-12A

    Can anyone tell me where I can obtain the 2GM memory upgrade for my NB100-12A? How much does it cost? To install it, do I have to remove existig 1GM and replace with new memory or what is the procedure?

    First, a question - are you running the pre-installed version of Windows XP? If so, I'm not sure it will support 2GB of RAM - does anyone know for sure? +Officially+ the NB100 only supports 1GB, so I'd check before spending any money...
    Assuming your OS +does+ support 2GB, I'd suggest you try Crucial - good memory, good service and a fair price. If you go to the following link, you can enter the details of your netbook and it will provide a link to the correct memory:
    [Crucial memory|http://www.crucial.com/uk/netbook/index.aspx]
    It looks like it's about £20 at the moment - prices have risen lately :( You could get memory that's +slightly+ cheaper, but then you'd have the hassle of working out exactly what to get.
    In terms of fitting, you need to remove the cover on the bottom of the NB100 (it's secured by a single screw). Remove the existing RAM and fit the new stick. Re-attach the cover and reboot - job done :)

  • My latest mystery USB 2gb memory not recognized

    Just today when I plugged in a 2GB memory card dongle that used to work perfectly - my Macbook 13 won't recognise that anything has been plugged in. The device lights up but nothing appears on the desktop or in the Hard Drive root as a removable drive the way it used to.
    I can't access it. Does anyone know why it would behave like this.
    I've not told it to ignore any usb plugins. In fact the last thing I plugged in about a week ago was an EYE TV digital Freeview tuner which worked perfectly and I properly closed that and removed it when I shut down.
    Why would it not read from the San Disk USB stick suddenly ?
    I can't solve this one without help.
    Hope someone can
    Plado

    I'll just go and mark this as answered because your help is indirectly very useful.
    But what I actually did to solve it was I tried a reboot but no luck.
    Then I went back to carry out a full Software Update which I had refused a few days ago because it asked to update at a time very inconvenient to me and I didn't want the interruption.
    So I did a software update while looking for an alternative USB memory card. And after the update was complete and the system rebooted the USB was back to recognizing anything I plugged in including the Memory card that had failed.
    The bad thing though is that once again the Software Update has prevented SAFARI from running and I've got to download it again and reinstall it. What IS going on with this Macbook Leopard system? It seems full of utterly ridiculous bugs that Mac have no business letting something in this messy state out on the market.
    I'm sorry to be ranting like this but the average user would be constantly on the Support Line trying to solve problems that keep making the thing get stuck.
    I have to say I am by now very unimpressed with the Apple Mac OS X and I am going to have to severely restrict my use of the machine because it just isn't versatile or well enough sorted compared with Microsoft Windows.
    Thanks for you input.
    I think it's solved so I will mark the question closed but I still have to go and get this stalled Corrupted Safari back working again. What a bore!

    My friend just started having this issue with his netbook where his iPod Touch will not be detected at all not even under My Computer. It will charge the device however it will not sync.
    Before he had the iTunes Wifi Sync on, but it wasn't really working either for some odd reason.
    On booting iTunes I noticed it kept coming up with the need to downgrade to be compatible for iTunes to run probably. I assume the latest version of iTunes cannot naturally run on Windows 7 Starter with downgrading to a lower compatiblity likely either it downgraded to Vista or XP compatibility.
    I was wondering with it was an iTunes sync service was not turned on, but another friend had brought her iPhone and right away that device appeared in iTunes so it appears to be a issue with the iPod itself. We swapped usb cables in hopes that his older more worn cable may have been the issue, but still not luck.
    We had used all of the following listed from this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538. As well as another which I can't seem to find that had about 15 items to try.
    So basically it doesn't show up as even a usb device in the "Device and Printers" window or as a device under "My Computer".
    Thanks for your time.

    - As asked for the versions since many users think that have the "latest" when they do not have the latest version/
    - Q4: I said no that the iPod Touch 4G does not show up in iTunes/My Computer in my post. Please My question read my post.
    My queston is does your iPod show up in iTunes when you conenct the iPod to another computer.
    "If you connect the 4G iPod to another computer does it show in iTunes/My Computer?"
    If no:
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • When I open a new firefox window, all other firefox windows which I started before and minimized, pop up behind the last window I started, and I have to minimize them again. How could I stop that?

    I am running firefox 6.0.2 on windows XP Pro

    The ASK.com Toolbar can cause other windows to get maximized.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
