  1. If the other laptop that didn't have the boot delay does have all these recent VC++ runtimes, I'd say "yes". In order to run correctly, Panda Dome must need a more recent version of the runtimes than was previously installed. The installer should be checking for and reporting the deficiency instead of allowing it to behave so poorly.
  2. I was hoping to see evidence that the service would go to sleep at launch if offline. Go into the app and look for ways to disable as many scans and downloads as possible, especially system scans at launch. Disable it as much as possible without actually uninstalling it. Use Dr. Watson and other process viewers right after boot to determine what drivers and services have been using lots of CPU time since boot.
  3. Probably online. The laptop maybe not. Power off your router so you know they are all offline, then recompare boot times.
  4. It's cloud-based. It also downloads News and Ads by default. Are you online or offline when experiencing delays?
  5. From the printer's control panel with only power connected? Then the printer needs servicing. Go to HP's support site and look for printer diagnostic software or info on how to interpret the alarm codes.
  6. Agreed. Possibly made or refurbished with recycled parts.
  7. Actually, I did. It's a slightly different implementation of the reference design, but still exactly what it claims to be on the box.
  8. Fake of what? Looks like a no-name clone of the ATI reference design. "Accelerate" LOL
  9. For you? In the current configuration? (I have lots of second-hand equipment and your description makes it sound to me like maybe you just acquired this printer from someone making claims.) Test the printer by reconnecting it in the last working configuration. Printers have lots of parts including capacitors. Something may have gone bad. Connect only power and check the manual for how to do self-diagnostics and print a test page. If this fails, recycle and replace. Report back if successful.
  10. Options: no definition, stub definition, forward: Leave it blank and hope it doesn't get called. Determine a stub definition such as "z4" by disassembling the ordinal function. Many "unnamed" api's have names unofficially documented from official debug info.
  11. Use the USB ports for external audio and networking. Or try Linux. If that sees all devices, you can run Windows in a VM.
  12. ScanDisk can check files for duplicate names. If ScanDisk doesn't like it, it's not safe. Otherwise, it should be okay if the drive is only accessed by Windows.
  13. https://www.miniputer.com/Acer/Aspire_1690.html I see now that the Firewire/1394 is built-in and not on a combo PCcard and that there are three USB ports. If you are using them for Keyboard, Mouse, and Flash drive, try uninstalling the Flash drive drivers, then reboot with the Flash drive in a hub or different port. Hopefully it will boot and you will be asked to install the drivers anew. Rebooting in that same configuration should now work. What brand and model is the flash drive and which driver are you using?
  14. Build system: yes. User system: only if needed drivers and settings were added to the build, or if loaded in a VM.
  15. Details?
  16. What model is the laptop? I might have some drivers for it.
  17. Try looking at https://www.thefreecountry.com
  18. Search This Topic for ralink.
  19. You should have three methods for controlling the bootload sequence: config.sys, autoexec.bat, msdos.sys.
  20. Win95? If not, remove all drivers in Safe Mode and redetect. PCI-12xx is supported in others. Firewire requires SE+.
  21. If they fit the socket without forcing (notches also match), they are pin and voltage compatible.
  22. Yes. What functions or resources were updated?
  23. For smooth motion, shutter speed must match frame rate. This provides the right amount of motion blur. Hollywood movies shot this way at 24 fps looked very good. Shutter speeds of 1/60 yield great stop-action freeze-frames, but look jerky at 30fps or lower and can cause eye strain (and even pain). It all depends on the amount of motion in the screen.
  24. Analog NTSC is 60 interlaced fields creating 30 frames per.second. PAL is 50/25. Digital TV theoretically supports higher frame rates, but in practice only broadcast the traditional analog rates.
