There were so many post that I couldn't even try to search if problem similar to mine is already posted or not. I know this post is more about software related but mine is hardware related (I guess). My problem is related to computer not turning on. Though it turns on some of the time but mostly doesn't. I have to switch it on and off for hours sometimes to finally make it start working. Most of the times it doesn't. If problem like this is already posted please link me to that. If not I'll post them in detail in another post. Thanks in advance. |

I have tried this one. Physical memory mean your RAM memory. You can't install bluestack if you don't have at least 2 GB of RAM. NOT hard disk space. |

Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by deji2009(m): 2:24pm On Apr 09, 2013 |
adewasco2k: I thought so, however most Hp and Compaq comes with Nvidia Graphics. A word of advice to the poster check to make sure is not Nvidia Graphics by looking on the laptop stickers or box. if it is let us know because I have an official pdf list of affected HP with Nvidia Graphics I would like to remind you to create a recovery dvd. google it for yourself and also you should have had a message notification during OBE Out of Box Experience |

Donsammi: Adewasco & deji ... The graphics config is not on the carton ....this is what is here Okay and provided that the laptop came with the original Operating system all should be fine.if you can't find the recovery app, click start, and a few centimetres up you'd see search progr...and files try typing recovery manager or system recovery. Whenever you are downloading a software making sure it's 64 bit compatible.Always read the instructions at all time. |

Omero: plz help a brother, my system is showing this version of windows 7 is not geniune, plz I need ur help urgently hav tried google no headway yet. tanx. Dear Omero, Thank you for your recent post and unfortunately we are unable to provide activation to get your windows 7 activated.after 30 days the screen will turn black and may not be able to login. you can extend the 30 days trial until you purchase your copy of windows by clicking start, all progra... accessories and the run. a box would pop up type in cmd and a black box would pop up. we would like you to ypr in slmgr -rearm press enter and restart your computer. if that doesn't work wait till it reach 2 days then try this method. to check click start and computer click system properties and scroll down it should have change to 120 days or less than that. My colleagues are aware that we do not offer activation keys, it's against the rules laid down by Seun and the moderators. We look forward helping you with any other problem apart from that Regards Deji Cambridge |

purplekayc: hi guys , i downloaded a 32 bit win rar and a free arc archiver software yesterday but both have strangely refused to install but giving me a notification of " win rar is not a valid windows application " and same for the free arc , what could be the problem?? You will need to re-download. There are two options Instead of using Save, use the Run option when prompted by IE during the download. From the Tools/Interner Options dialog box, delete temporary files, close IE, reopen and download again. Are you using vista, win 7 or xp ? could be a compatibility mode properties settings virus, registry. are you using norton or kerpersky ? have you been infected with a virus or getting a pop up message ? you could scan using malwarebytes from the internet try redownloading from http://www.rarlab.com/ you need a .exe file |
