I'm a new member who is NOT knowledgable about much of this tech stuff but luckily I AM very interested. I just don't have much money to buy new or pay for help.
My DELL 9150 AND my Motion LE 1600 tablet both run Windows XP are are used daily. I am the Admin on both. They sync their My Docs with each other using SyncBack SE.
I just added 2 sticks of RAM to the 2 that were in my DELL 9150 to max it out but even after playing with them for several days, the MOST I seem to ever see at My Computer > Properties is 2.50 GB of RAM. Shouldn't it say 4.0? 2.5 is 2½ of the sticks of RAM . . . so what's up with it seein' a half stick and not seein' the other stick AT ALL¿
The Dell is hooked to a DELL projector and an XBOX 360 so that my son can play his games. We now have a VGA switch so that we don't need to mess with the monitor cable all the time.
Lately, both computers seem to slow. Time Warner cable internet should work faster. But even log-on or off is WAY too slow and is slower than it used to be.
I'm CONSTANTLY seeing boxes from the Task Bar area warning me the my computer is unprotected. I solve that by opening Security Essentials and have it run a Quick Scan. Then it is happy and the icon goes GREEN.
I've added max ram and even run all kinds of stupid fix its or find its crap.
This is an on-going hassle in my life. I've tried using TechRepublic and got blasted once too many times by some welding industry star moron, so I jumped off that ship.
If anyone can offer me any help, I'd prefer it just be a plain english and give me a step or steps to try. PLEASE don't just give me a link and say "HERE IT IS!". My request is . . . Copy and Paste a few lines advising my of a step to try. You might mention where you got the info, but PLEASE don't just drop some link at my feet!
Almost EVERY day I get a "blue screen of death" on each of these 2 computers.
Also, I am CONSTANTLY having my Outlook 2003 take forever to open since it says that it wasn't closed properly the last time. This mess takes quite a long time . . . 15 minutes?
Also, almost all the time on BOTH pcs, when I click the E icon to open Internet Explorer, it pops some box telling me that IE wasn't closed properly last time so do I want to go to the sites I was at or to my Home Page? But, so far as I know, IE WAS closed normally.
HELP PLEASE . . . I'M GOIN' NUTS!
This is what was on my DELL this morning after leaving it running Prime 95 all night long. I don't have a CLUE how to interpret this or what to do with Prime 95. It is actually somewhat difficult to for a newbie like me to figure out how to use it since you need to know if you are 32 or 64 bit to do some download and if you pick the wrong one, nothing EVER seems to happen. THEN, once you get the proper one, you don't know what to do with it. It's NOT self-explanatory or sure wasn't for stupid iJEFF!
