Seun:
What's the problem exactly? If you can explain it to me calmly, I can solve your problem.

Seun

I think you should ask the moderator as he"ll be able to provide you with full details.

though i dont know what happened. just thought is the right way to go

I think you need sage, which is an accouting software. Excel or spreedsheet

Good luck not sure if have answered that correctly.

@deji
u know for a minute i thought you said 7.3gb ram on your laptop i wan shout
will have to take time to count how many oses i have on my pc
celeron 2.8ghz, 1.5gb ram, 3 hard disks making a total of 360gb
win xp, win7, freebsd,Opensolaris and up to 7 or more brands of linux

lol. windows 7 then 3GB I meant.

what interface did you use to connect

all this. IDE, SATA, EIDE 1.5GB RAM i think

that small for all those O/s you have

blackweaver:
deji i guess u must be a patient pc user for me o with any osmore recent than xp
ram < 1gb is not acceptable
@poster i suspect the problem may either be because of some program(s) hoggin the memory
then again, how long have u been using the pc and how long ago did you
start noticing that it was slow?

Yeah you"re right my brother. majority of PC i stripped either

have 512MB or 1GB OF RAM. personally is not acceptable

I have XP dual boot Lunix and windows 7 that utilises

2 GB of Ram and on my laptop Windows 7 3 GB. @ poster

yeah you were asked. when does it start occuring.

Good luck

jumbex03:
is the large size of my hd disk (250 g)responsible for the slow speed or my operating system (vista).thanks d gurus

Efficient 252 GB >512MB OF RAM. no good

80GB HD >512>Good. Having 250GB HD or more

does not cause slow performace. RAM upgrade/increase

is what you need if that what you are considering

Good luck

Digriz:
Pls gurus am having problem wt my dell laptop whch is hanging smtimes weneva am workin or trying to open a program.

Next time please try and specify if it is XP or Vista machine.

What are you opening when it start and when does it start occcuring ?

I"ll take is XP because it's popularity. click start > all programmes > accessories > system tools

> Disk clean up>? make sure hibernate is uncheck as this can delete your hibernate option

which can prevent your system from hibernating

There should be some different by now. if not bring up Run and type in Msconfig > start up> untick all items

except your security software which is need to be ticked so it will start up when windows boot

anything else on that list untick it. click apply and ok and make sure system is restarted so 

changes can take effect. Then test. if no joy then hold down the microsoft logo on your keybaord + Pause break key

a  box should pop with your Ram Size. what is it ? e.g. 512MD DDR or SDRAM OR GDDR

please let me or others know how you get on as this develop my skills. Good luck and thanks for enquring.

Turn it off please back on

keep pressing[b] F8 safe mode[/b]

enter username press enter

Icons we be big. don't be alram!

see if you get the same message

if not then it will be a windows problems

if you get the same message try system restore

whilst in safe mode as this will disable any drivers

after that then log to normal windows if no joy

then click Run and type in Msconfig, start up repair

untick everything in the box apply and ok make sure

you restart for changes to take effect then test should be fine

just incase that didnt work. unlikely. then Run again type in Mrt

click next and follow instructions to remove any melicious win32/ ? files

Good luck and thanks for enquring

RuuDie:
I use a Vista home edition and i get this error message (see screen-shot below) whenever i boot or reboot the system . . . . ultimately, everything works well and i do not get any visible issues with the computer but i just want to know if anybody here has experienced similar, if it indeed is an issue that requires serious attention and if there are any long-term implications; and also how to fix.

Many thanks!

Were you running a programme when this message comes up ? e.g. limewire, flash player etc

When does it start ? Do you have any antivirus software such as AVG

trying running a system restore like the previous tec has said. Good luck !

This may sound funny or senseless is from personal experience
and may not be belive. I thought I share with you.

I got an email from a person telling me

he saw my post and ID + email details on nairaland and would

like me to help with their 2 computers that is faulty

1PC forgotten password 1Laptop screen is black

well, long story short we exchange contact and

I went to visit I end up fixing the PC not the laptop

and couldn't afford to pay £50 which I quoted for both

and beside that the laptop has been giving problems

for a long time and is 6 years old and would rather buy a new one

for christmas. So i politely asked I can take £10 while I take the faulty laptop

instead of £25 and we both agreed. so, what am trying to say. I think is good

for someone to be real on nairaland and be yourself you never can know when

goods things we come and pass. i know it only £10 i earned but at least i make new friends

with the people i met and at the sametime advertise my service. so, that was my experience

I'm having difficulties choosing between Ebonyeyes and Mitchell of Italy

wow ! them 2 are just  . There's something i find attractive about

them that stimulate my brain. lol. 4 real 

Happy Sunday Guys and hope you all have a nice day

hi y'all.
i have an acer laptop that just started 'powering down' by itself. it just goes off. when i try to reboot, it doesnt even get past the 'POST'.
pls someone help! this is my 'office'.
thanx.

Is it XP or Vista ? how long does it take before it switch off itself ?


Do you have display? Does it turn off with and without battery and charger ?

Seems the system power up and power down withing 50 secs or so.

Here's you diags. check to make sure no damages to the USB ports

check the DC port which is the charging unit where your charger goes into

there should be a pin inside. is it shaking use a screw driver to verify

when it turn itself off does it left any light behind. try to connect laptop to a monitor

and see any difference. let us know how you get on. Good luck and thanks for enquiring

[quote author=Kay-baba link=topic=345299.msg4957079#msg4957079 date=1258634187]pls my lappy cant install microsoft office, bluetooth installer, nokia pc suite , it says win 32 not supported
i cant really figure wat is happening[/quote]
Not a valid Win32 application.

Often this error message will be similar to the below error message.

C:\Program Files\myprogram\program.exe is not a valid Win32 application.

Cause:

This issue can be caused by any of the below possibilities.

1. File is corrupt, bad, or missing.
2. File is not designed for your version of Windows.
3. File is a virus, worm, or other malware file.
4. Hardware incompatibility.

Answer:

File is corrupt, bad, or missing

If the file or program you're attempting to run is corrupt or missing, Windows will be unable to execute the file properly and sometimes generate this error message.

Download files

If you downloaded this file and verified it is complete and compatible with your version of Windows, delete the file and try downloading and running it again. It's possible during the download that the file became corrupted.

Finally, if the second download does not work, try downloading the file from a different webpage. It is possible that the person or company maintaining the website mistakenly uploaded a corrupt version of the file you're attempting download.

Installing a program from a CD or other disk

If you're attempting to install a program and are getting this error, verify that the CD is clean. If the CD is dirty or bad, you could get this error during the install and/or get this error after the program has been installed because it was not copied properly onto the computer.

Good day miksonic,

sorry i have this hp pavilon which is working properly before but now it develope a cam fault,

the cam do work anymore, what can i do?

That won't help the tecs. what is the make and model of your computer ?

XP or vista. look for[b] FN[/b] on your keyboard and also start look from[b] F1 to F12[/b]

until you see a webcam image on the any Fn number keys then hold down FN+ f ? that is got

webcam image to activate it. if no joy then could be there is a switch at the front or side of your

laptop. if no joy we need to verify device manager to make sure webcam is installed and active.

if you need help getting to device manager use google since you did not specify operating system type

after getting to device manager look for imaing device and other device what does it says

device manager looks like this. can be access by simply pressing windows logo +PauseBreak, click hardware then

device manager. let us know what it has underneath. Good luck and thanks for enquiring
