Which radeon do you have?

Radeons are known to have driver issues (although it's gotten a lot better now-a-days). Some drivers work better with certain Radeons. You usually just have to suck it up.

Send like 10 e-mails to ATi and let them know about it, cuz if they don't know about it, they won't do anything about it.

I'm done ranting now.

Ok, I have another problem. Today my computer has been telling me that I've been too low on Virtual Memory. Anyone know what's wrong?

I've never really had any problems with my asus 9600xt. The only problems it had seemed to be the ones I caused. ie: overclocking it, testing it in a game and then having vpu recover kick in. Maybe I'm just lucky or something to never have any problems with it.

If you low on virtual memory, thats usually not a good sign sometimes. You might have alot of programs running in the background or something. What version of windows do you have?

Go into control panel, open up System, go to the Advanced tab, click settings under the Performance area, go to advanced tab, mention how much MB is being used for Page Filing (at the bottom). Then click change and just mention if its on Custom Size or something else. If its on custom size, whats the Initial Size and Max. Size.

Other then that, I would just control alt delete and see how many programs are running in the background.

Where is that?Interesting deduction. Can you speak any foreign languages?
That is a hypothetical question.My brain contains 43347 categories, but not one that matches your last input.
Which others? Fascinating. What would make you just control alt delete and see how many programs are running in the background?

if ya got the free space for it. make your virtual mem 1gig. makes the computer work a little faster too :p

and aside from ctrl alt del to see what progs are running.......... start / run : msconfig / then goto startup tab and uncheck the un nessesary programs from running at startup, it only really needs a couple. and you shouldnt have more then a few icons in the icon tray either.

Re: Post your Computer Questions/Help
 
Oh yeah, that too. Good ol' msconfig. I havent checked mine lately to see what I need to uncheck. But I have done quite a few in the past just because they are useless **** that doesnt deserve to start

I have a problem.

Ok, I reformated my old computer. It was corrupted with a virus, so I reformatted it and everything. It works like a brand new computer, but I'm having a little problem. Ok, so I have a bunch of CD's with anime on them. I want to store these anime's on my old computer.

I downloaded the DivX codec and player on my new computer, and installed it on my old one. I tried to play a video, and I could hear the music and words, but the picture was just flashing green light. Any suggestions. :confused:
