It is an issue with the monitor as the monitor cannot handle frequencies above a certain range.
On the display properties, on the last tab, select advanced, and in the monitor tab, select the 50 hz frequency then try.

Yeah it worked thanks brother thanks for the help

Yes it should. Format the drive then install it and nothing should be left from the original installation

Yes, but keep in mind that you format all the partitions of your hard drive while you do so.

Yeah, I have formatted every partition. Cheers guys.

Is there a way by which I can restart my OS (Windows 7), without rebooting my laptop?

 

[jacobfelix]

While i am working on this system with WinXP Prof SP3, sometime in between I get this error window "Generic host process for Win32 services has encountered a problem".....After I get this error there's no way I can continue working (as system hangs ) & I have to switch off and restart the Computer.

Any solution for this?

Installed GTA 4 Liberty City Stories after months. I am confused about its updates. GTA 4 has 7 patches. So should i download all of those 7? But wont they be useless as 5 were released before the release of liberty city stories. And if they are worth then what the heck rockstar devs were thinking? Couldnt they include these updates in the game itself so we had to download just 2.

So anyone knows which updates should i download?

If that's an expansion pack then most likely it'll have the first few patches

I didnt even installed a single patch. Its working smoothly. I guess ATI drivers have come a long way in last 6 months.

I have quite a number of flash drives. A few of them run really slowly however (3MB/s), whereas another runs at 20MB/s (normal USB speed). I thought that the first ones were just slow USB drives, but when I plug them into my mac, they run at full speed (well one of them does and I presume the others are the same). What is the most likely explanation for why it runs slowly on my pc and fast on my mac?

 

[Abhas]

Are they all formatted in the same filesystem? Fat32 most likely. Check if the slower ones are FAT16 or something else.
Maybe the faster ones are NTFS, but AFAIK, NTFS pen drives are read-only on Mac, so that shouldn't be the case.

In general, I've seen data transfer rates much faster in Mac than in Windows. Maybe that's the case with you?

 

[Chewie]

I'm pretty sure they're all FAT32 because if they were NTFS, as you said, they'd only be read only.

I don't think I'd get such a huge difference though. Going from 3MB/s on windows to 20MB/s on Macs is much too large, and I have a flash drive that does go at 20MB/s on my windows computer as well as my mac.

 

[Abhas]

What Windows are you using?
I'm assuming Windows 7 (it will be the similar for others as well)

Right click Computer> Properties
Select Device Manager
Go to Disk Drives > select the flash drive > properties
Go to Policies Tab > Select Better performance
Save and close all windows

I think that should do the trick. Check to see what setting the faster flash drive
has.

 

[Chewie]

Both the slower one and the faster one were on quick removal. The slower one didn't speed up at all when I changed it.

 

[Abhas]

Yeah, Even I tried it after posting, didn't work on my system as well. You're better off changing it back to Quick Removal.

Can't figure out what could be the issue. Generally big files transfer faster, and if you have lots of smaller files they would take more time, but I'm certain that's not the issue with you.

Maybe it's a case of powered and unpowered USB.. dunno.

 

[Chewie]

Well they plug into the same USB port and get different speeds when copying any sized files over. I'm formatting the slow one to FAT32 again to see if that makes any difference whatsoever but I don't think it will.

 

[Abhas]

Try formatting it into different formats, just to experiment. NTFS should be faster. try exFAT as well.
