Way back, I bought a 512 MB Memory chip for my computer and without realizing, I had a compatibility issue since I had the incorrect manual for the motherboard. So, I replaced it with (2) 256 chips. Since then I’ve had a little trouble with my computer freezing indiscriminately.

The Windows Server 2003 R2 that was set up last year is running exceedingly slow.

It steadily got slower and now it is terribly slow. Troubleshooting reveals that taskmgr.exe was using approximately about 50% of CPU usage.

After rebooting I observe that explorer.exe used roughly 50% as well and then after one more reboot, services.exe is using roughly 50% as well.

So explorer.exe and services.exe interchange between using the other half of CPU usage, but after a long time only taskmgr.exe is left using 50%.

Extensive research on the internet has not yielded any results yet. In safe mode it works fine and fast with no hitches. Ending services one at a time until all stopped doesn’t make it any faster.

I have used Windows 7 since 4th of July 2010. While setting up Service Pack 1, the date and time showed the exact time I set up the Windows but it keeps going back to the same time and date every time I restarted the computer. It also stalls on start up, is this a hitch system restore can fix?

I have MS Queries set up through ODBC from XP and other 32-bit clients but do not work on Windows 7 or Server 2008.

I get the following errors: Unable to get data item Dict Name: USER [Microsoft] [ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed.

Can you help me find a solution?

I got the laptop back, the one that I gave my sister 18 months ago when it was barely ever used. The problem is, it is password protected and I have forgotten the password. My sister is no longer with us. She has passed on. The password has eight characters. The Dell XPS1730 Dual Core laptop is running a Windows Vista with 2.6 GHz and dual graphic cards. Is there any way that I can access Windows? Since there are files that we wish to keep like photographs etc. I will be grateful for all the help I can get.

I tried wiping the hard drive with both XP and Vista on a single partition in order to load Windows Vista. I ended up with Windows Vista installed twice. How can I wipe the hard drive without losing all the programs and drivers?

Hi Experts,

I’m using a Windows 2003 server and I can’t delete or move a file on a shared drive.

The server won’t allow, when I tried to delete or move a file, it prompts that the program is being used but actually it’s not. 

I didn’t encounter this problem with my previous server. 

Can you help me on how to solve this issue?
