Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by Chiefupper: 11:59am On Aug 15, 2014
good afternoon house, I wanted to install AutoCAD software on my system (window 7 ultimate 64 bit ) but I couldn't so when I checked the software case I discovered it was meant for 32 bit only, I have bought up to five software now and to my surprise they are all 32 bit, my question is is there no 64 bit software and if there is why is it that 32 bit are more common than 64 bit and finally which one is better in terms of function between the two? thanks

For some months now, i have noticed that when i am using my system (compaq presario CQ57), i see a flash of a program icon on the taskbar trying to load, it happens so fast that i have not been able to see properly what program is trying to load. each time this happens, every application i am running on full screen becomes minimized. please what should i do?

Most programs designed for a computer running a 32-bit version of Windows will run fine on a computer running a 64-bit version of Windows. (Notable exceptions are antivirus programs.) However, most programs designed specifically for a 64-bit version of Windows will often run faster, especially if they involve intensive tasks such as editing high-definition video or operating a large database.

this was exactly what I was told by many people but when I later read through the casing of the second software I bought, I saw "32 bit only " on it so I thought it can not work vice versa

deji2009:

The technician assumed that the IC was faulty, but we need t o be sure that the tec
has carried out some basic test. plug the charger, can you see the charger LED light on the
laptop that indicate the laptop is charging. can you feel anything loose inside the laptop ? try wigging the
charger as you connect to the laptop and see if you can feel anything loose inside. the charger would
give you that feeling once you connect. try wiggling it and see if any LED light blinks as well
thanks for the reply brof, 1-the LED light is on 2- the laptop indicates full charge within minutes of appearing to charge 3- I can't really say anything about anything loose in the laptop, but the laptop seems okay 4-the charger is good, nothing wrong with it as I have changed it twice 5-something is wrong with the laptop, do advise tech geeks, thanks in advance.

64bit applications will not run on 32bit OS. The OS won't even accept the installation but would rather show an error message.

back to basics

does it turned on ?

have you tried with or
without the battery ?

i tihnk you're better off
buying another laptop rather than
repairining it. This is the last resort.

Computer make and model number please

xp or vita ? any recent repairs ?

do you use generator of recent ?

any windows tweaking recently, windows
tweaking is where you change the settings

to 1000

The partition table is faulty. You can use a file recovery software to get back your files if you r still interested in them, otherwise delete the partition and format, should get your hard disk working again. And check that external casing.

If you can connect it to an external monitor to check if it displays, otherwise take it to a technician it could anything from bad screen to a faulty motherboard or your RAM needs resitting

Reformatting would have solved the problem, since it didn't, have you tried other browsers.
