uni-kazzy:

pls, i just format my laptop, if i click the local disk (Esmiley it will ask if i want to format it. what happen there pls

Dear uni-kazz,

This behaviour occured because windows is unable to read or access the drive.
Is this your main Hard drive, external Hard drive or a USB stick.
DO not click yes ! if you do, you"ll loose all your data !

Open up my computer and right click on the drive > properties and
look for file system make sure is set to NTFS. if yes then get back to us for
further diagnostics . Good luck and thanks for enquiring.

hedmond:

Hi deji and other gurus, I installed PES2010 on my new dv6.an error comes up each time I try to open it saying, I didn't Hv the system requirement video card of VRAM 128M. The one I have is VRAM 64M,can it meet up with the 128M when I do windows update or what can I do?

Dear hedmond,

RE: PES2010

Thanks for the above enquiry and do appreciate your explanations. for PES 2010 to work properly your computer
needs to meet the system requirement in terms of processors, RAM , GRaphics and Hard drive. installing windows updating
will not make any difference.  Please find a link explaining in more details.

Good luck

deji2009:

To make life easier and for the sake of simplicity, I would suggest googling up the difference.

Core 2 Duo-means two processors.

Atom- This can be found on small netbooks such as
Dell mini series. They are  small and energy efficient.

RAM-means Ramdom Access Memory- The bigger  the better in terms of
efficiency, performance and reliability.
Minimum requirement for Windows Vista/7 is 2GB, XP 512 Or 1GB

Hard drive- is a storage device where your operating system are stored.
The bigger the better in terms of storage. e.g. document, pictures and programmes.
Hard drive size of 80-150 GB will be enough.


Oh thanks. Hope I'm not bothering you tho.

Got the explanation. . . . and some on Google. After looking up the infos, I found one that I think is okay. I dont want to ask the customer service peeps because they'll say whatever I want to hear to sell their products.

Do you think that this technical details are close to ideal?:

Stop using your laptop in bed or on the couch.If you're going to, place it on a cardboad or something whereby the heat vent underneath wont be blocked. Thats one of the secret to long lasting laptop life.
