Is there any I can print from my Windows 7 pc? EDIT: minor issue compared to above I'm dual-booting Win7 with Windows XP, but I fucked up my Windows XP installation when I tried to re-install XP on top of the existing XP installation (using an older service pack cd, too!). i lost all my installed programs/registry i think, is there anyway i can go back / recover it? I think I re-installed XP cus I wanted to fix the boot table or something? dont remember Btw it's really awesome youre helping randomly like this, you are a good guy r1ch | ||

I recently reinstalled XP from a wiped hard drive (biggest pain in the ass ever - I wiped my drive before checking the condition of my disks, and they were all scratched up, so my install was just a tad bit broken, eventually managed to find a replacement CD and get it up and running), and almost everything is running in perfect condition now, but my internet connection. Basically my connection before the wipe was great. I have Vuze running, be getting 1000 kb/s (depending on what I was downloading, of course), and Firefox would run flawlessly. The only thing I couldn't do while downloading was watch user streams, and even that I could do if I was willing to put up with some varying levels of lag. Now that I have my computer up and running, my internet connection is noticeably slower. And I'm really not sure what I have to do. Whether I have to change some default settings, or reconfigure my router, or what. But now if I'm downloading with a torrent program, I rarely get above 300 kb/s, even on torrents that I had downloaded before and know are well seeded (I was downloading a large 100GB+ torrent before I wiped my drive, when there weren't many seeders, it took 5-6 days to download completely... and now it's estimated at taking 14 weeks), and if I am downloading while browsing the internet, pages take a noticeable few seconds to load. | ||

When ever I play graphics intensive games, the computer either hangs or restarts. I used to run L4D, Halo and others fine. Other less intensive games work fine (i.e. Starcraft, Diablo2) and I can watch movies normally etc.. I don't think I have a problem with any of my hardware overheating, I have a couple fans and my case is partially open. I only had this problem when I added my old IDE HD to my PC. So yeah, I really think its either of my graphics card or power supply. Any ideas? | ||

For maintenance, CCleaner, Secunia PSI for security updates followed by jkDefrag for a defragment. What program do you use against spywares? Is one of the "maintenacne" programs? Also my PC is really slow despite reinstalling Windows (XP) recently. It's not a big problem because it's an old rig, and i will be using my new laptop, but i'm intrested what couses this. one more: I cannot host SC. Even with firewall disabled. What can couse this? I'm sure there are a number of things | ||

I also never defragment my computer, is that horrible? Also, can laptops be run 24/7 or is that bad? I bought a Coolermaster Pad but does this just only mitigate the pain I'm putting it through? I like to make my virtual memory as large as possible, it seems to make the computer run a lot faster - are there any adverse effects to this or an optimal size to make it? Ad-aware was good when it was the only product, but there are far better ones these days. You should defragment at least once or twice a year, seek times are one of the main bottlenecks in a modern PC. Laptops on 24/7 may run a higher risk of failure due to dust/etc jamming up the fans / heatsinks. Pagefile should always be on automatic, setting it any higher has very little benefit - if your pagefile gets hit that hard then your PC will be pretty unusable anyway. | ||

Most likely either your TCP settings need tweaking (RWIN and scaling) or you need the "10 half open connection" patch to be able to P2P effectively. www.speedtest.net is the only really reliable way of gauging your connection speed, P2P is very unreliable for speed testing. | ||

I randomly cannot establish connection with the internet through pokerstars and internet explorer. The weird part is if i have a internet explorer already open, I can open new tabs and still surf. I can get on msn and starcraft durring this but for some reason I cannot establish some new connections. Any ideas? Your routers NAT table might be overflowing, this would prevent new connections. Try rebooting your router / modem, if it fixes it, that was likely the problem. | ||
