Tomm Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 If you can, get into the case and unplug the drive (computer off of course). Then reboot and remove all the drivers from device manager. Then plug it back in - Windows should find it again and install the right drivers.

James-M Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 I have Tiscali Broadband, and got a mini laptop type thing from school (They don't use them anymore) And just wondered if i'll be able to just plug it into the phone/network socket thing and it'll work?

Muel Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Reet, hi.I got given a broken computer from someone my Mum knows, it was missing the jumper of the back of the HD, so I put one on.It boots up to the Windows XP loading screen, then the bar goes really slowly, then the screen goes onto standby, if you turn it back on, it says no signal input.Interestingly, the computer will not load linux either from a live CD, gets the boot screen up fine, just doesn't go any further.Any ideas? Where would be a better place to ask? I presume there is a forum as big as this one for mending this sort of thing somewhere.EDIT: Come on guys, just give me the url of a forum and I'll be happy, I found one which has 8K members so I signed up, but I want to know which ones you lot rate.This is my problem, I need to know of another forum.

Danny Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Uninstall the driver (its on one of the tabs in the screenshot) and reboot. Windows should reinstall it then. Failing that click 'update driver' and let it search online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boswell Posted December 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 What steps can i take to reduce the amount of RAM windows vista uses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeM Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 When i want to watch a film on my laptop it comes up with Decoder error please restart media center or computer. Anyone know whats wrong? I've rebooted the system and restored everything which still didn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroMatt Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 What steps can i take to reduce the amount of RAM windows vista uses? In the performance options you can alter the visual settings, turning all of the options off will reduce usage a bit but not overly so. Although would probably just be best to buy some more.

Danny Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 So? Most laptops have a 'hatch' on the bottom to easily replace the ram (Try the memory advisor on http://www.crucial.com/uk/) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
