View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an e4300 with 4 gigs of ram and Win7. I recently downloaded the latest Windows Update as prompted by the OS, and now I'm having an issue where everytime I start the computer it asks me to set the page file size. It's always listed as 0 megs.
So, I got to reset it using the box marked managed by the system, and when I restart the same thing happens.
So instead I chose a custom size 1.5xRam for lower limit, 3x ram for higher limit, and still eveytime I restart it gives me an automatic pop-up telling me my page file is set to zero.
I have an Inspiron 570 that had an emergency shut down and created DSB files which I have been unable to open.

But I have partitioned my HDD so I couldn't wake up my DELL Restore utility. My partitions are: C: for OS, D: for Data and a RECOVERY(E: ) partition that exists before.
I looked into my RECOVERY(E: ) drive and found a WIM file at: E:dellImageFactory.wim with total capacity of about 3.25GB
i have found file transfer rate is noticeably low in my XPS M1530 machine. i was transferring 1.7gb file from I partition to G partition. it started sending 22mb/sec.
then there after i found it to b reduced to 10/12 mb/sec sometimes extremely low like 3 or 4mb/sec. why is that? how can i keep it constant at 22 or 20 mb/sec transferring rate.
Okay, I have my two XPS 14’s connected via Bluetooth. However, where do my files go?
How can I find the location that they have been transferred to?
My latest odyssey with Dell has lasted over 3 weeks and ended in utter disappointment; the experience has been both frustrating and time consuming, but I notice it's not all that dissimilar to some experiences others have posted about, so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
On 11/24 I ordered a Studio 1737 with an estimated ship date of 12/5. As has been the case for many others, Dell generated a separate order for the Bluetooth module, and like many others I found this frustrating and nonsensical, but I didn't rush to judgment immediately, I decided I'd wait and see if they actually shipped it separately and uninstalled.
Of course, they did, and I received the component on 12/8. I filled out the return request form and asked for an RMA for the component, because I placed the order with the expectation it would be installed professionally. The response I received essentially excused the practice that caused the module to be shipped separately with no disclaimer, and denied me an RMA for the module. They wouldn't let me return it. I went back and forth with this guy for a week, exchanging 6 emails total, each one explaining my disappointment in greater detail than the last. After 6 emails, I still have not received an RMA. Each email merely deflected my concerns and ignored my original request by assuring me not only that I would receive my system and I would be overwhelmingly satisfied, but that he would personally see that the order was expedited.
I fell for this, until last friday, 12/12, when Dell notified me that my order had been delayed for a second time and required my consent to be processed; I logged into the order status site as the email required to provide consent, and then shot an admittedly discourteous email back to the guy who'd been feeding me disinformation for a week to avoid giving me an RMA for a lousy $20 part that plainly wasn't delivered in the condition I expected (I was really annoyed). On Monday, 12/15, I received a response for him, this time assuring me that the system would ship within 24 hours. This pacified me until about an hour later, when I received the email from Dell finally canceling my order completely.
I responded one last time (much more composed and gracious) to tell him I was receiving conflicting information regarding the order status, and to ask which was accurate. This morning, 12/16, I received a terse response from his manager telling me that the order had been canceled "due to unavoidable reasons", suggested that I contact the sales department to have my order reinstated, and asked that I reply to him if I still want an RMA for the bluetooth module (a line his subordinate fed me before, to which I responded in the affirmative).
What do you think I filled out the return request form for, or all the emails I wrote requesting a return?
I'm completely bewildered. I've wasted enough time talking to these people, and I don't intend to continue. I don't even care about returning the thing anymore. The frustration and time lost towers over the lousy $20 lost on the bluetooth module.
All this is added to the fact that Dell delayed my order twice, then canceled it blaming the federal mail order rule, despite the fact that I followed their instructions to prevent that. I don't know where to begin.
I'd like to send a letter detailing this experience detailing my frustration to Dell, on the off chance that someone there is even the slightest bit interested in customer service (then I plan on meditating for about a week and exiling this experience from my mind completely.) I just don't know where, if anywhere, to direct my complaint (the returns department obviously isn't the place, since they don't even know what to do about returns).
They didn't charge me for the system they canceled, only for the bluetooth module that should have been canceled with the system, but if I go through all the hoops they want me to to recover the lousy $20 I'll lose my mind, so it's not about money. I basically want to give them a piece of my mind, cut my losses, and be done with it. Any advice?

Fast Batch File Copy from CDs to External HDD
I have a whole bunch of data and stuff in "huge number" of old CDs. I want to consolidate them into 2 or 3 1Tb HDDs.
The CDs could be Data, Audio, Bootables.
I could go into Windows Explorer and do the drag & drop / Copy / Paste thing. A couple of issues. Windows Explorer is SLOW, and the STATUS it shows when copying files is not REAL. I'd like a REAL percentage status showing copier.
Something that helps me spend the least amount of time, attention on making this happen. Minimum Intervention.
Ideally it would be a program / app that does the following:
1 - Does fast copying
2 - Automatically creates new folders in a specified location as it copies & places the content of the next CD
3 - Prior to copying it asks what MODE the CD needs to be backed up >
ISO, Simple File Copy, Audio (Raw / mp3), "Name the Folder".
4 - Copies showing REAL status and REAL (estimated) time left until this one is complete
5- Once completed with one CD / Disk
> It NOTIFIES with Visual / Sound clue
> EJECTS the Disk
> Prompts again for next disk
> Asks same "WHAT KIND OF COPY" question for the next disk.
> Does this until all Disks are backed up - Like a BATCH of them are done.
Does some kind of Cataloging as it copies. Maybe asks for Categories / Labels / Tags.

Last month my Dell Studio 1555 broke and I can not turn it anymore. I have a new computer by now, but there are many files on my old computer which I wish to transfer to my new computer, as they are quite important to me. How do I go about doing this without having to use an Ethernet cross-over cable; or otherwise remotely power on the laptop?

I've got a 320gb Seagate Freeagent Go external hard drive which I need to transfer data from onto my Acer 6920.
All starts well with transfer speeds of around 30mb/s, the speeds then drop to around 10mb/s and more often than not the whole transfer freezes and just hangs no matter what size file I'm transfering. I've got over 200gb I need transfered but it just won't do it, even in small chunks of data.

Ok, so I have been doing some routine work on my brothers machine, however, It was getting quite low on disk space on the C partition. When I originally set up his machine I created a C: and D: partition for his documents.
No problem, I thought and went into Partition Magic with the intention of removing a gig or two from D and relocating to the C partition. Of course though ,it failed and now I have about 2 gig of unpartition space.
Windows now tells me the Hal.dill is missing or corrupt. The funny thing though is that it still boots, it hangs for a few minutes on the error the restarts and boots fine and it only displays the message on a fresh boot, not on a restart.
I ran a chkdsk /p last night, but stupidly didn't run a chkdsk /r so that will be my first task tonight.
From what I have read its quite simple to re copy the hal.dill file but I am worried this may affect using Quick Launch the boot the machine.
I have an HP HDX 16T with a P8400 at 2.26GHz and 4GB ram.
The video is nVidia 9600M GT driver 7.15.11.7622 with 512 dedicated memory. The TV is a Sony 46" Bravia KDL46V2500 1080P LCD connected via HDMI.
I have an MKV file that is 1080P & 8.4GB in size that will not play correctly.
The video is choppy and the audio out of sync.
I downloaded the latest versions of the following players/codecs.
KM Player
BS Player
VLC Player
CoreAVC
SM Player
All of these exhibit the behavior, some not as bad but all have an issue playing the files. In fact it seems to be any 1080P file that gives me issues.
All of my 720P play fine with any of the players listed above.
Is my hardware not up to the task? I know HP offered a blueray drive as an option so surely this computer should be able to play 1080P....

View 8 Replies View Relatedhow to organize files in folders by date modified by when i modified it. I know that you can right click and use "arrange by date modified" but that sometimes arranges the files when they were modified online and not by me. I know on windows when i use Arrange by last modified it arranges it according to the date when i last downloaded it or opened it, not by when it was modified online. I would like to be arrange by date last opened or used by me.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI some how managed to completely screwup the file permissions ownership on my macbook (10.6). This seems to have also mirrored itself to my timemachine. So I did a clean instal of SL, and then manually moved my files from TM back across, but unfortunatley the permission for all said files are wrong.
So I went as set using cmd+I the permission to myself as owner, as checked to apply to enclosed items, thinkin that would do the trick.
Unfortunately while it did fix a few files, the majority still remain stuck with the "_unknown" as the owner, which is preventing me from opening and using pretty much everything on my mac.
Does anyone know a way to force write the owner permissions to me for ALL files in my home directory?
I have tried the repair permissions in disk utility several times, it does nothing
