Windows 7 Vs. Vista using Aero and GPU

Windows 7 and Windows Vista perform about the same when using 2 monitors with Mercury GPU enabled (one monitor for client previews as opposed to the GUI) and Aero turned OFF. When Windows Aero is ON with GPU they both take a hit in performance but Windows 7 suffers the worst. I don't know if it is because Windows 7 uses themes as opposd to a simple Aero mode. I want to use Windows 7 with Aero but it does not work well. Vista works OK with Aero but it gets a boost when disabled. What gives? I have tried everything I can think of. The Windows Vista system and Windows 7 system are the exact same computer. I have a GT 240 that works well with everything except Windows 7 and Aero. I think I am going to have to keep using Windows Vista even though Windows 7 has some nice features.

Aero changed what handled the memory management for the GPU and is something you want to leave on unless you have a Quadro card and that driver controls the memory management for the video card. Before Aero Memory management for the display was handled by the driver for the video card. One of the benefits the Quadro cards had was they had a driver plugin to isolate memory for applications or frames. The Gaming cards did not have that ability. Aero changed that and took control of that management. The OS now handles the memory management for the GPU/Display which allows the OS to do the frame isolation the Gaming cards did not have before. The downside as there always is one is as RJL states. The Ram shadow is far higher with the Aero on than it is when it's off. So you want to have more than enough system ram to handle that. Aero also improves the interface performance which includes preview once again because the ram management is handled by the OS and the gaming cards did not really have that before.

  • Opening new window from a pdf using Formcalc and gotourl

    Hello,
    I am trying to open a new browser window using Formcalc and gotourl.  We are using Livecycle Designer ES2 9.0
    Previous versions of Designer had an extra parameter at the end such as :      
         xfa.host.gotoURL(<url>, 1)  or  xfa.host.gotoURL(<url>, 0)
    But in 9.0 the second parameter is removed , so I'm left only with
         xfa.host.gotoURL(<url>)  and this replaces my form rather than opening a new window.
    Our company restricts the use of Javascript with Adobe so I am left with Formcalc to accomplish what I need.
    Does anyone know why the second parameter was removed in 9.0  and/or if there is a way to accomplish what
    I need in 9.0 without using Javascript?
    Thanks,
    Norm.

    Hi,
    if you cannot use JavaScript because it is deactivated, then FormCalc won't work also.
    I don't know why the 2nd optional parameter has been removed. Here is an explaination of it.

  • Windows 7 crashes when using Lightroom and Photoshop

    I am trying to determine the cause of random crashes (bsod) when I run Lightroom 4 and Photoshop CS5 (either individually or both at the same time) on my Windows 7 64-bit PC.  I'm begining to think the crashes might be related to interactions between LR4, CS5, and Windows 7 Services.  Does anyone know of a list of Windows 7 64-bit Services that are used by LR4 and CS5?

    Applications can't cause BSOD's. Crash, yes, but not BSOD. The real cause is usually faulty or incompatible hardware (most likely RAM), or buggy drivers (most likely video card).
    Photoshop puts a lot of stress on your computer, so any latent problems are likely to turn up. Lightroom I believe less so; but still it can push the wrong buttons.
    I'd start by downloading an updated video driver, and next test RAM by removing or replacing one stick at a time.

  • Can't recover Windows XP original setting using Rescue and Recovery version 4 on my T61

    Hello,
    Few days ago I recovered Windows original settings. However, after making some error installing my personal programs I wanted to start all over and then the RnR asked for password! I gave the single password I'm using but it wouldn't let me. 
    I remember seeing a windows while installing all the devices asking to enter a password, but I didn't manage to come to the computer before it restarted.
    HELP!!! How can I fix it?
    Many thanks, 
    Nir

    can you restore to factory settings you shouldn't need a PW to do that normally when R&R has a set password it will stay on the PW prompt page until the PW is entered I don't believe you can recover the PW not that I know of anyway . & forum rules don't allow post about getting around security measures so I couldn't post it if I knew

  • Firefox opens up every 5 min a new window, if I am using firefox and also if I am not using it

    using firefox 6.01, but if I am using my laptop the firefox opens up a window, about 5 min later it continues open a new window and so on even I am not using firefox or using it. Not sure what it is but it can be anouying.

    Sounds like a bug to me.
    I would go to my task manager and make sure all web browsers are closing. I would also do a full scan with some good Virus and Trojan software. I suspect an intruder in your system.

  • Using wrt160v2 on vista using wep and it asks for a pw and a "logon main"?

    I have currently setup a 10 character wep password, but when i connect with vista wrielessly it asks for user, password, and logon domain.
    Anybody can help what is the logon domain?
    The password id the 10 character code right?

    First, I would not use WEP security, it's about as effective as using no security. Use WPA or WPA2, they are much more secure. Unless you have established a local domain name server (DNS Server) for your local home network you don't have a domain. Just leave it blank.

  • Issue with turning on project 2010 / 2013 - "There is not enough memory to complete the operation. To free up available memory, close programs, projects, or windows you aren't using, and then try again."

    I get the following error after the installation and configuration window of MS Project: "There is not enough memory to complete the operation. To free up available memory, close programs, projects, or windows you aren't using, and then try again."
    It happens both with MS Project 2010 and 2013 on a Windows 7 desktop. 
    I tried installing / uninstalling Office 2010, MS Project, tried installing 32 and then 64 bit versions, clean up, disk error checker, startup changes (msconfig), anti virus, running as Windows 7 and then Windows XP compatible mode. 
    Nothing helps. I see this issue reported as early as 2007 version of MS projects on Microsoft forums, but I do not see any solution anywhere. Any suggestions on how to fix the issue without having to reformat hard drive? Every other application, including
    all other Office programs work seamlessly. 
    I also tried Microsoft support, after an hour and a half of basically doing what I did before, I was told I have to pay 99$ for "premium" support, so someone can look at this bug. 
    I have 16 Gb RAM and more than 200Gb or hard drive free, so actual memory is not the problem. 

    This issue was originally reported with MS Project 2007 and keeps popping up since.
    A quick Google search provides more than 200K pages of results of this issue:
    https://www.google.ca/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=There+is+not+enough+memory+to+complete+the+operation.+To+free+up+available+memory%2C+close+programs%2C+projects%2C+or+windows+you+aren't+using%2C+and+then+try+again.
    And 193K results on Bing:
    http://www.bing.com/search?q=There+is+not+enough+memory+to+complete+the+operation.+To+free+up+available+memory%2C+close+programs%2C+projects%2C+or+windows+you+aren%27t+using%2C+and+then+try+again.&go=Submit&qs=n&form=QBLH&pq=there+is+not+enough+memory+to+complete+the+operation.+to+free+up+available+memory%2C+close+programs%2C+projects%2C+or+windows+you+aren%27t+using%2C+and+then+try+again.&sc=0-0&sp=-1&sk=&cvid=4cb023c1fbd94ec2bba9821b095f21f2
    Computer was defragged already. I run more tests, and specifically when MS Projects tries to run, it tries to take all memory, more than 300Gb, on the computer. (DropBox was running at the same time, and warned that there were no space. As soon as MS Project
    stopped attempting to configure itself, everything came back to normal and the available space became available again.)
    Looking through older forum posts, looks like this application tries to take "unlimited" amount of memory. Some registry fixes are mentioned potentially, but I was not able to apply them. 
    Since everything else works, this is a MS Project bug reported by multiple users on various versions of Windows, including Vista and 7, so please provide a fix and not 'not a know bug' lie. All the premium support will say, is to format the hard drive, unless
    they have a patch or a registry edit solution. If the latter is true, since the issue exists for multiple years, it should have been already been provided to users.
    Also, I am not running a SQL server, or any server, this is an installation on a local machine. 

  • When using Windows 2007 in Vista and HP Deskjet 6620 the bottom line gets cut off

    When using Windows 2007 in Vista 32bit and HP Deskjet 6620 printer, the bottom line gets cut off.  I have searched and searched but find no fix. Please help. What I do find is HP blaming Microsoft and Microsoft blaming HP. Where is the fix??? Think of all of us frustrated users. Is there a fix out there?????  I attempted to download a new driver, assign it then attempted the patch all to no avail. I was even told try to bold the document...still no fix. Where is the patch? This is an HP issue. Please assist.
    I hope this gets addressed ASAP. In my search many have had this issue with HP. Here is one comment...and it does not look good..."I am extremely upset with this issue and spent far too long trying to work with HP support. The HP support person was hopeless. I gave up and went off on my own. I hope HP releases drivers that correct this problem rightly in the future."
    If this is not fixed or addressed I am sure it will affect the future buying of HP products from me and others. Let's see HP come out of this issue smelling like a rose. I await the fix.
    Message Edited by KimINgr on 07-13-2009 08:01 PM

    I will reply to myself....there is a fix. Thanks to someone else who had the same issue, went round and round with HP and then had this issue escalated up to get a more experienced tech who then had the print driver 990C installed to replace the driver he had selected. Me I had the 6620 which is the correct driver but had the issues so I tried the 990C driver and guess what.....it worked!!!!!!! So, HP is this your driver issue or is it Microsoft?  I say driver issue. You might want to get a patch out their for the fix.

  • Windows Vista Movie Maker and Itunes Music

    I am asking for help and apologize if I am in the wrong area - we just purchased a computer and I need some help - we have an HP that came w/ Windows Vista. I am trying to make a movie on Windows Movie Maker and tried to import a song from Itunes that I purchased and it keeps coming up w/ an error about my system not having the codec. I have no idea what this means and need to know if I am doing something wrong. Any help/direction would be greatly appreciated-I am trying to make a movie w/ my all my daughters pictures-she will be 1 this month-I know TMI, sorry. Thank you again

    Well, there are two problems probably:
    1. I'm not sure if Windows Movie Maker can use AAC format files, and all of the files you download through iTunes are in AAC format.
    2. Even if Windows Movie Maker can use AAC format files (which I doubt it can), the AAC files through iTunes are DRM-encoded, which means they have copywrite protection which prevents their use outside of a specific set of iPods/iTunes.
    If you want to use that particular song in your movie, it would be best to either find a source that is not copy-protected to download it from (notice I didn't suggest downloading it illegally ;>), or ... you can buy a CD with that song on it, and then rip it to MP3 to import into Windows Movie Maker.

  • Windows Vista 64 bit and Treo 755p

    Hello,
    I am wondering if the latest software update will allow me to sync using HotSync and a cable.  When I got my 755 it said that it was not compatible with my new computer that has the 64 bit Vista.  Is this going to be fixed eventually or should I just give up and sync onto another computer with XP?  Thanks.
    Post relates to: Treo 755p (Verizon)

    Obviously this is one of the strangest anti-business responses from a for-profit company I have heard of, but I can't even get the bluetooth workaround to work because as soon as I start to install the setup, it immediately stops and says it was interrupted.  This was a clean install of Windows Vista 64 Business, with no antivirus software running (or even installed yet).  I downloaded the install software yesterday, even tried downloading it again to make sure.  I even tried loading prior versions of it, all to no avail.  They simply will not install saying they got interrupted.  If there is some magic to allow this to work, my wife and I would be quite grateful.  If not, hello blackberry!  Palm is forcing my hand here and running off a loyal customer that has bought one of (almost) every model since the original palm pilot, lo those many years ago.
    Does anyone have a solution to the "installation was interrupted" issue on Windows Vista 64 ?

  • Windows Vista 64 bit and HP 2840 Color LaserJet All-In-One - Workaround

    Although HP has not provided a workable solution for a use of a HP 2840 Color LaserJet All-In-One with Windows Vista 64 bit, I did manage to get it to work. The solution is a bit convoluted and may not work for all users but here’s how I did it. I'm running Vista Ultimate 64 bit. Not sure how other Vista versions may behave.
    I tried many different solutions that did not work. Attempting to install many different versions of the HP 2840 software in different compatibility modes ended up rendering my other HP 4385 All-In-One inoperative.  I deleted every piece of HP software and hardware from my system and reinstalling the HP 4385 software. Still couldn’t get my 4385 working again. I finally ended up restoring my system to restore point prior to attempting to install the HP 2840. All this to say that if you’ve made several attempts to get it working you may need to back up and punt with a restore.
    Make sure your HP 2840 is NOT connected.
    Press the “Scan” button on the 2840 (The control panel on the 2840 should say ‘Waiting on PC”).
    Plug the HP 2840 in via a USB cable. A “New hardware” message should pop up on the PC.
     Minimize this window. DO NOT MAKE ANY ATTEMPT TO INSTALL DRIVERS. Just ignore this message for the moment.
    In Windows, go to CONTROL PANEL/SCANNERS AND CAMERAS. Hopefully you’ll see a “HP 2840 LaserJet Scanner”. If not, the rest will probably not work.
    Now hit the "Windows Start" button. Select "Programs" or "All Programs" (depending on your setup configuration). Open "Windows Fax Scan". It should connect to the 2840 Scanner. Experiment with the scanner and select flatbed and feeder input  to make sure it functions properly. Once satisfied that the scanner is working properly you can configure the printer.
    On the “New Hardware Detected” window that you minimized in step 4, select “Do Not Ask Me Again For This Hardware”.
    Connect the 2840 to your network via a CAT cable.
    On your PC press the "Windows Start" button and select “Settings and Printers”.
    Select “Add a Printer”.
    Select “Add a Network Printer”.
    Windows will scan your network searching for printers. It should find your 2840.
    Select “Next” (It is not necessary to let the search complete once your 2840 has been identified).
    From the dropdown list, select ‘HP” and “HP Universal Printing PCL 6". It was the last one in the list for me.
    Print a test page
    You should now have a HP 2840 network printer and a local 2840 scanner.
    O course the drawback is that you can only scan to the PC where the 2840 scanner is attached via the USB cable. You can print from any PC on your network by following steps 9 through 15 on each network PC. 
    Another little tidbit I ran into; selecting any other driver besides the “HP Universal Printing PCL 6" driver cause my Microsoft Office 2007 to crash any time I selected the "Save As" option. I found some links on the Internet that indicate this is a known problem. It may not affect you but you might want to play it safe.
    Hope this helps someone.

    Uninstall the HP software using the uninistaller in the HP folder.
    Restart your PC.
    Get the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page.
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

  • Windows Vista 64 Bit and Button Support - Qosmio G30?

    Windows Vista 64 Bit and Button Support?

    Everybody claiming that Vista x64 (or Ultimate) can't be used with FN keys or Flash Cards is utterly wrong!
    I have a Qosmio G30 running Vista x64 Ultimate, and have both FN keys, Toshiba Flash Cards and (partly) the hardware buttons at the top working.
    After a lot of research, I found that Toshiba has released a 64-bit version of VAP called util_tvap_27581D. If you google it, you might discover it...
