You can change your dedicated video ram by accessing the BIOS menu at startup.

I would advise you to keep the default settings ! "...and the vram is just 64 mb so the laptop cant really play a lot of games well".

How is it not playing well, please be specific.

Pls I want to ask, is there any difference between using a phone (blackberry) as a modem via a usb cable and using an actual real usb modem to browse. Any real major difference ?

Please how do I fix this annoying 'You are running out of disk space' message I keep getting. Because of this message I had to transfer most of my files to an External HDD,and restored the laptop to factory state,which after re-transferring most of the important files I need back to my laptop I had 127GB free space. I thought the error has been corrected,only for me to wake up this morning and get the same message again.
Initially when I checked my drive C, what I saw initially was 0 bytes free on drive:C,I ran a system restore and it became 10GB free,within minutes it was down to 3.7GB free space remaining again..even when I didn't download or add any files to my laptop.
Please Techies in the house,how can I rectify this issue,and I do hope its not serious though..I pray.

Your solution(s) needed urgently.

You probably have a worm type virus replicating in the system and got reinfected after you did a factory reset. What antivirus are you using?

I use my Glo bis on my phone to browse on my laptop with no problem, both via USB and WiFi so likewise you shouldn't have any problems.

the only difference would be in the capacity of d phone or modem, I.e. If it they have 3g, hspa of edge capability.

I have the AVAST PRO(Registered) installed. When I did the factory reset I scanned the system,but was surprised the problem persisted.

Hello house. Sure we are all good.

My Laptop has driven me down here again. Starting from the very day I re-installed my OS, windows 7 professional, it began to tell me battery not detected - crossing the Ba3 icon with red. I drained the ba3, pulled it over and over ... It began to charge... But I now observed that the laptop has been displaying wrong ba3 level, coz its at 20percent and it tripped off all of a sudden. At times it frozen at 9 or O% charging for eternity. Pls what ccan I do to troubleshoot this menace?


Thanks in anticipation for your kind and prompt response.

I suggest you replace that battery. Next new battery you get, charge fully befoew using, cycle fully (drain -> Charge) about 5 times within a few days. You should be good to go with that.

Lol. You might need to adjust some boot flags. DO you get an error while trying to boot? Can you do a snapshot with your phone?

Just saw the screen you posted from earlier, are you booting from an external drive or cdrom? Looks like a minimal live distro is booted....not all of those have a "desktop" or gui installed by default.

Schedule a boot time scan. Also scan the external HDD.

Just post any problems you are having with your pc here. The more software related, the better. smiley

If you're having virus, worms or any other malware problems. Try scanning your PC with RoboSAM first.

Sometimes, I may reply to your post but the spam bot will hide it, if it happens that others here cannot solve your problem, you can contact me by mail at relaxtuners at gmail dot com.

You have to do some work on your startup programs and services as well as defragment and decongest your HDD.

I will post the steps to do both later.
