For there to be a partition, you have to make one. But if you don't know what you're doing when you make it, or if you don't have enough space on the drive to do it, you can ruin your existing system and files. There are plenty of tutorials around the internet on how to partition a drive. I...

Great! You'll probably have to do more than stop the process though, as unless the program was uninstalled, it'll start again the next time you reboot. You'll have to disable them from the Startup tab.

I need to see more of it than that. I do see a couple programs you probably don't need running, but it wouldn't free up all that much memory. All of the programs that are in the screenshot only use about 0.1 MB (or at least claim to). But to start, you might want to prevent Contextant Audio...

First, upload the picture to another site like twitpic or imgr. Then post a reply, press control+P, and paste the link to that picture in the box that comes up.

How to take a screenshot or how to access task manager? To access Task Manager, press ctrl+shift+esc. Then click on the More Details button on the bottom. Then scroll down in that list until you get to the "Background Processes" sections, and take a screenshot of that entire section. To take a...

Ah. It's a good thing you didn't leave it at your last comment or you might not get answers. Can you show me a screenshot of the processes tab in Task Manager so I can know if this is a way to solve your problem?

Great! If you have the answer, you should mark this thread as solved to save someone else the trouble of giving you an answer you don't need.

Not much. With virtual memory, your computer uses your hard disk in place of RAM. Your hard disk (or even solid state drive) is slower to access than RAM is, so the computer would slow down when it reaches high RAM usage. Also, there's a limit to how much virtual memory Windows can use, and I...

Samus Aran from Metroid. She's awesome. :)

There's no need to disable the built in keyboard. The computer can detect the input from as many keyboards as you have plugs for (I've had 3 keyboards, including the integrated one, working and picking up input). There might be a way for your specific laptop, but I doubt it, as there's no reason...

You don't want to disable it. Hyperthreading gives you better performance, and helps your computer run cooler and with less power.

i5 processors don't have hyper-threading. The reason you're seeing that in BIOS is because it's the same BIOS used in similar models, and the manufacturer makes laptops with i7 processors, so they just left it there. You don't need to worry about it. The best way to get good battery life is to...

So I have this old laptop I've taken apart for the fun of it. Its screen works, and I need an extra screen anyway, so I was wondering if there was a way to highjack the interior (well, exterior now, since it's taken apart) input cable to let it accept plain old HDMI cables. I can see the input...
