morzook: It's a huge file o. Sure u want to download it. Or you'd rather buy an already downloaded file burnt on DVD |
| Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by morzook(m): 11:37am On Aug 08, 2018 |
airsaylongcon: the issue is that i have downloaded from the appstore twice but it brings an error message during installation, that's why i need an alternative means. The DVD would be good tho. you know where i can get one? |

Pls help, how can l delete junk files on my PC, it is slowing down like snails. |

Achor1111: Hi. First of all this is gonna be long.  Just kidding;it'll be interesting.Ok! Enough of that. There are pretty much a few places you can look at when you're talking of speeding up your laptop. They are; 1.The Hard Disk: So everything happens on the hard disk- the files you open, the games you play,the copying and pasting, the programs you run even your very windows is on the hard disk. So each time you do any of these, fragments are left on different locations on the hard drive (fragmentation) making the programs and files slower to access. For a faster access, you need to defragment your hard drive. Defragmentation is a process where you pull up those files together in a sing spot making hem faster to access If you're on win 7 Right Click on the ":C" drive > Properties > click on tools > "Defragment now" > The disk defragmenter window opens > Click on "analyse disk" button then > this generates how fragmented the disk is in percentages > Click the defragment button. Free up some space too Now those activities I earlier mentioned can also cause the space on your hard drive to deplete. Oh yes!! All those movies you refuse to delete you see your life now?- in lasisis voice- Oya its time to let go some of it...yeah sorry ...to free up some space.If you have Progams you no longer need, please delete them...you're not a warehouse 2. RAM Increasing the RAM is also another option. usually increasing RAM size increases the chunk of data that the it can hold per time. Check with a technician to see if your system can accomodate another RAM. 4. Efizzy All those visual effects, the slides and drops , name it. they tell both on the system memory and processor. Turning off visual effects can surprisingly boost the speed with which you navigate your windows- win 10 users are you here?? 5. Startup here are some programs that are designed to run once your computer starts up. This can actually suck some speed from your PC. Well, you can disable these programs from running during start up by; Typing 'msconfig' in the start box > the system configuration window opens> click the 'startup' tab > uncheck the programs that you know. once done they will no longer start once you boot up the laptop. Hope this helps **cheers** |

You know the painful part? when you google the statement, genuine kaspersky adverts and websites get shown. looks like its creators really knew their game!! Now you're going to follow the below instructions detail by detail...... I cant guarantee you'll get your files back The following guide was copied verbatim from https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/070ad99d-319c-46a7-acf7-58a3ffbbb0d7/thumb-drive-cannot-show-content?forum=win10itprogeneral TROJAN: <name>#GB(Secured by Kaspersky Internet Security 2017).bat ===== How to test if your PC is infected? ===== a.Get an empty thumb drive or flash drive b.Format it. c.There shouldn't be any files in the thumbdrive after you've formatted it. d.If you find 2 files: <name>#GB(Secured by Kaspersky Internet Security 2017).bat and Readme. You're infected...! How to clean? (You must be connected to the internet until step 4). ===== 1. Install CCleaner: Get it here --> https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download 1.1 Run the Cleaner menu to clean your PC from internet cache, temp files etc. 1.2 Run the Registry menu to clean your registry.

Install Norton Power Eraser: Get it here--> https://security.symantec.com/nbrt/npe.aspx 2.1 Run it. It'll run rootkit scan and ask to restart. NPE will find 3 entries of virus or more. Choose Create restore point if you can. (sometimes you can't). Delete the virus. PC will restart. 2.2 After restarting, NPE will run again. Most of the time NPE will detect another 1 or 2 *.exe infected files. Send it to cloud (there's these cute cloud icons ).NPE will suggest you delete those files. Delete them. If somehow NPE doesn't run after restarting the PC, run NPE and scan again 3. Install adwcleaner. Get it here--> https://www.malwarebytes.com/adwcleaner/ 3.1 Click Run Scan for Adware/PUPs.

Hello nlandees how u a dey? Their is this issue that am worried about. I do architectural renderings and I don't know which to choose between a UK used dell latitude 2010 version with 1st generation core i5 and Intel graphics and a dell inspiron brand new thats 2018 version with 7th generation core i3.and 8gb ram. The brand new dell is more than twice the price of the fairly use d one. Am in a fix.and am on a tight budget. |
| Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by polimaf(m): 5:07pm On Aug 10, 2018 |
kinggSamuel:Hmm... Both are excellent laptops, forget the year the Dell Inspiron was made. I know a lot of people might disagree with me, but I've used several UK used laptop and they gave me excellent performance for the job at hand. If the 2010 Inspiron will render same service as the brand new, just get it. If budget isn't an issue, I would say you go for the brand new one. 1 Like |
| Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by udemzyudex(m): 7:57pm On Aug 10, 2018 |
kinggSamuel: The difference between a brand new system and a used one is warranty (my own opinion) In Nigeria most new system don't even have warranty because the importers don't import base on region, that's why sometimes if you take your laptop to service center they will tell you its not from this region. You can go for a used 4th generation laptop with same configuration it will still do your job perfectly since the 7th gen laptop is above your budget. |
| Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by Razak5(m): 8:13pm On Aug 10, 2018 |
kinggSamuel: Hi, there Nice one @polimaf When it comes to getting a laptop, 2 factors come into play: purpose and budget You have to match the two together! without sacrificing purpose... Thus in his case, budget being a constraint could make him opt for a lower spec PC. But lets note the following: For ARCHITECTURAL RENDERINGS, a combination of the minimum spec below should be considered be it brand new or UK Used 1. 2nd, 3rd or 4th Gen Core i5 and a minimum of 1GB or 2GB Graphics, 4GB RAM (not rendering) but 8GB RAM(Adobe After Effects and rendering) 2. 5th, 6th Gen Core i5 and a min 4GB RAM, 1GB dedicated Graphics or 2GB dedicated (if you have the money). 3. 6th or 7th Gen Core i5 and a min 8GB RAM, 2GB dedicated graphics. Well, there are higher combinations. but if budget is a constraint, you'll want to stick with option 1 or 2. For options 1 and 2, systems look slightly bulkier and some are less easy to move around unlike their slim counterpart. Laptops that carry option 3 are usually slimmer and sleek. i.e they're beautiful!! and yet pack such huge spec. some carry as high as 4gb dedicated graphics!!- of course, depending on your financial standing, they are expensive. in closing A UK Used 6th Gen core i5, 8GB RAM, 2GB NVIDIA Acer aspire e575g series costs about 145k and A brand new Core i3 with the spec you gave costs a "few" thousands more.If architectural rendering is the deal, then I'll opt for the acer and any other system that has similar spec. *Cheers* 1 Like |
