Does vista think that my comp doesn't have enough power to run aero at fullest? I have 4 gigs of ram, and 130M video card, what else does it want?
I just got a dv4t shipped from hp with 2.53 gigahertz, 4 gigs ram, and integrated graphics and I seem to be having a problem. After about half an hour to 40 minutes of talking on skype with video, with firefox and maybe a folder or two open, aero enabled, opening just one more app that isn't even too processor intensive such as the task manager or device manager, I suddenly get a message stating aero needs to shut off and my webcam stops working. The only way to fix it seems to be to shut down skype. After I do that everything is restored.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am running a RAID0 array on fast hard disks (ok, so they ain't SSDs, but still!)..
it came out at 6.3 which was the lowest score - lower than the FX2700m for gaming - which suprised me given that in Vista the hard disk got max marks and the FX2700m didn't..
Can I get folks who have the Studio 15 w/ATI post their WEI numbers? I'm concerned the Studio 15z from Best Buy is actually beating the 1558 and that disappoints me.
Processor - 6.7
RAM - 5.9
Graphics - 4.9
Gaming - 6.2
Hard disk - 5.9
I just was wondering what some of you are getting in Windows 7 Index Rating.
I was having issues getting VS 2008 to work without going crazy with SearchIndexer.exe and re-installed 7 just now. Somehow my score is now a 4.1, using the same drivers ....
I have been getting really poor hard drive performance since I've got my computer. It's getting a 5.9 on the windows experience index which I think is quite low for an 128GB SSD? Also, when copying and pasting large files it seems to stall for a few seconds during the process.
Has anyone else been having this problem or know a solution? What kind WEI ratings are people getting?
My machine is a SXPS 1645, Core i7 720Q, 4GB RAM, 128GB SSD.
Let's post AW index score :
View 5 Replies View RelatedI was curious as to what sort of scores Windows 7 is giving to different specs of FWs.
Heres mine:
Processor: P8700 ------>6.1

Gaming Graphics-------->6.6
Primary Hard Disk(7200rpm 320 gb)--->5.8 (base)
I have a 490CTO with win7 home premium. I can't remember but I think that I had exactly the same score with vista, only nothing went over 5.9. The HDD score was the same. Did anybody else get a different base score after upgrading to 7?
if anyone is willing to share their WEI result in Win7 with Vaio Z in Speed mode. Would be curious, if it'll show some differences with different CPUs, HDDs, ... You can show the additional specifics by clicking on "View and print detailed performance and system information". (Thanks NHT about the info, didn't know about that ) As the chart doesn't show, what kind of HDD you got,

I want to now the Windows Experience Index Score .
I just received an E6400 at my work with the Nvidia NVS 160M card.
My Vista Aero score is 3.4, but to me just normal windows operations seem sluggish and jerky.
I've had a Vista box with integrated graphics that handle simple Aero transitions much better. I've gotten the latest Dell supported nvidia driver and it has had no effect.
I have an "acer aspire 6930" home premium 32bit, does anyone know what has to be done to enable aero? I have selected it and hit apply, but it still shows up as basic..
View 4 Replies View RelatedI just got my CW290 and I am having something weird happening:
My aero disappeared after using the computer for a while. I can troubleshoot in the personalize menu on the control panel and it would work again. But it says to check if video card supports aero (and obviously it is b/c mine is Nvidia 310m). I called support and they only could do that much. Also, when I try to run the re-assessment after this, it says it can't compute the video score. If I restart the computer, it works perfect again.all the drivers are up to date. I uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers and it was still the same.
I never seen any problems with my video card playing any game or something like that, but the Vista interface
Specs: Dell e1705 @ C2D 7200, 2GB, 200GB 7.2k RPM, 7900GS @ WUXGA 1920x1200
"Aero" seems to don't like my video card or even me,
The Artifacting blink SOMETIMES when I minimize or maximize (open new one also) any window, explorer or any software... It happens only sometimes, but it gets very anoying to see... and I'm worried about if my card is damanged, if so, I really want to replace while I'm still on it's 1 Yr Standard warranty.
I'll be trying to get some picture (which is hard, because it just 'blinks' on screen) or maybe even some video of that.
Thanks for any suggestion / information.
EDIT: By the way, I'm using the latest driver by nVidia, "MobileForce M6" enhanced. In my device properties it says:
Total available graphics memory: 1023MB
Dedicated Memory: 256MB
System video memory: 0MB
Shared System memory: 767MB
Why it says shared if nVidia never said anything about sharing memory with this card model?! Is there any way to disable this sharing? I believe that sharing a 767MB DDR2-533 with a video card isn't that beneficial.
How long does it normally take Spotlight to index your HDD? I clean installed SL about a week ago, copied over all my apps and files with Migration Assistant, and then used Boot Camp to install 7. Yesterday, Spotlight randomly started indexing, and I left it on over night but it is still indexing. It seems like it's taking an unusually long amount of time.

with a new computer, hp dv6 on windows 7, i need to transfer windows xp files over.
so it's sort of like drag and drop, except wirelessly.
the windows xp is a desktop with a router configured and the laptop configured to use the router for wireless access...
ive been trying to understand how all this works, but i cannot simply manage to access windows xp, or using windows xp to access windows 7!
i have a cat5 cable if that is needed... but i dont know what to do with it..
Even if it's not wireless and with the CAT5 cable, i am willing as long as it gets transferred, i just prefer wireless
and i think i rea that Homegroup is not compatible with Windows XP so what do I use?
it's also confusing that in my Network Map on windows 7, it does not pick up the shared documents folder on my desktop.
Yesterday I bought a Compaq CQ58 with Windows 8 on it. I would like to buy Windows 7 to replace Windows 8 with. But:

2. And if so, can I still have the default HP programs on it?
3. And if so, how?

View 7 Replies View RelatedMy dad owns an HP G60. He hates Vista so we tried to get xp on it with absolutely no luck. It wouldn't install or work on the machine whatsoever. When my dad heard about windows 7, he got high hopes for his laptop once again. He wants to get windows 7 on it but with our recent failure, I thought I would ask people what they thought first. So NBR experts, will windows 7 install on an HP G60?

I have windows XP installed on my dv6894ca notebook computer, all went fine and I followed the guide posted here and used some of the drivers, the rest I obtained from the HP Support site for my notebook. My problem is that my laptop seems to be running very hot compared to what It did with Vista. The fans are on a lot more, and the notebook is hotter to touch than it was running Vista. It's almost like the CPU isn't slowing itself down enough, or the GPU isnt. Im not sure why it is doing this, any pointers or tips would be nice. It just seems like with XP everything gets hot, faster, and doesn't cool down that well.

I figure i can install it, 7 will find most of the drivers automatically, then I'll have to search for a couple on my own. Any of you install 7 on a 2500?
