HD video (1080p) lags was smooth before but lags now?

Saad Khan

I have 500 GB hdd a week back it suddenly got really slow and the CPU red light was continuously on.
It slowed to a point that I had to format C: and re-install windows xp.
I have some HD movies on my hdd that were working fine but now lag a lot on my HD monitor.
upon scanning I found 4kb bad sectors in my C: drive.
System specs:
Core 2 duo 2.93
2 GB DDR2
9500 GT 1 GB 3d card
500 GB hdd.
I need to know if changing the Hard drive would solve this issue?
Or anything Else I can do?

Answer
Hi, if sectors in the harddrive keep going bad then you may want to replace it. Try these other options first since you are on xp. Could be your video hardware acceleration turned off or down, instructions below to check that.

Try disabling the builtin xp video media thumbnail pic previewer. Here is directions followed by some info on it. And a list of other stuff to check. The xp video media thumbnail pic previewer is evil and will freeze a computer if even only one file disagrees with it.

DISABLE - click start - click run - type in cmd and click ok - type in regsvr32 /u shmedia.dll then press enter and it should be successful. (You can copy and paste that command in just like it is.)

Re-Enable - click start - run - type in cmd and click ok - type in regsvr32 shmedia.dll then press enter and it should successfully re-enable media thumbnail viewer. (You can copy and paste that command in just like it is.)

I recommend you disable the builtin xp video media thumbnail pic previewer. This thing is most likely your problem, it will lockup or freeze an xp computer sometimes even just on startup if any videos are saved to the desktop or opening any folders with videos and sometimes while playing videos especially avi format. If this thing sees one file that doesn't agree with it, then it will freeze you pc also. Only thing you will lose is ability to see preview thumbnail pics for videos in folders, but your pc will never freeze again while dealing with videos. I recommend you keep it disabled at all times, but it can be re-enabled if wanted at any time. You will never get that file cannot be moved or deleted again or video file in use message also.

Other than that also make sure you video hardware accleration is set to full,

Click start - control panel - display - last tab over at top settings - advanced tab at bottom - troubleshoot tab at top - make sure the slider is set all the way to full - click apply then ok - then click ok again to close it out

1. Could be some files corrupted somewhere. Click start - my computer - right click on (c) drive - go to second tab over tools - under error checking click on check now - checkmark automatically fix errors now - you will probably be asked to restart so it can check the disk. You can also checkmark the second box if you want but it will take a while to do the disk check. If it fixes anything you may have to reinstall some programs.

Download malwarebytes anti-malware free version and do a disk scan. This is a very good antivirus scanner. You never know. http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html?tag=mncol;1

3. You may have a program or codec conflict somewhere. You never want more than one codec pack installed at a time. Sometimes converting programs carry their own codecs and can conflict unknowingly.

4. Have you changed your screen resolution on you monitor lately. Sometimes this will cause computer to act up.

5. Hit control alt delete and make sure you don't have too many programs open all at once eating up memory.

I can't think of anything else I hope this helps you out. Good luck!

So, how does 3D printing work?

Dagbah

Today, I watched a YouTube video by ASAP Science and they were discussing about 3D printing. I got really interested and I wanted to know what can you do with a 3D printer. I know you can obviously print out things in 3D physical objects, and the only thing I've really seen people print out are things like dishes, etc. Can you print out other things like... let's say a phone, clothes, shoes, or even a human being? Respond quickly! Thanks :)

Answer
the current 3D printing technology is limited to Plastic items, there are some '3D food printers'

your really only limited to printing what is availible online, you have to first have a 3D image of what your wanting to print which a lot of people are using 3D scanners and uploading plans and making them availible for others to use.

you cant print phones, but you can print covers
no cloathes
no shoes
no humans/animals/living beings.

What software do I need to make cartoons?

3d scanner video image

Jimmy

I want to make animated cartoons, but am not sure what software I need. What software is best to draw the characters and backgrounds? Once I draw the characters do I then put them into Adobe Flash to make a cartoon?

Answer
You can use any of these FREE Cartoon Animation Softwares.........

Pencil : http://www.pencil-animation.org/
Pencil is an animation/drawing software for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux. It lets you create traditional hand-drawn animation (cartoon) using both bitmap and vector graphics. Pencil is free and open source.

Synfig Animation Studio : http://synfig.org/
Synfig is a powerful, industrial-strength vector-based open-source 2D animation software package, designed from the ground-up for producing feature-film quality animation with fewer people and resources.2D Animation has traditionally been very expensive because every frame must be drawn by hand. Even with today´s digital inking and painting software, the process still relies on individuals hand-drawing each frame. This laborious task is called "tweening".Synfig eliminates the task of manual tweening, producing smooth, fluid motion without the animator having to draw out each frame individually. This allows you to produce 2D animation with fewer people while producing art of a higher quality.

Tapptoons Linetester : http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/tapptoons/index.htm
The Tapptoons Linetester enables animators to use a scanner or video camera (with compatible capture card) to input animation images into a standard PC and edit their work, adding soundtrack and color if they wish and to output the result as a Windows AVI. Can be used for puppet animation as well as drawn animation.

eDrawings : http://www.edrawingsviewer.com/
eDrawings is a freeware utility which will give the user the power to view, create and share 3D models and 2D drawings. eDrawings offers unique capabilities like point-and-click animations that make it easy for anyone with a PC to interpret and understand 2D and 3D design data.

How do you make a laptop faster?

Q. Hi, i dont know anything about laptops and want to buy one, how do you make it run faster?

Thanks.

Answer
1. Run Defrag on the disk
2. Get SpyBot and clean up all spy-ware.
3. Use AVG free virus scanner; un-install McAfee or Norton they are both terribly slow
4. Disable any Windows Services you do not use
5. Disable any Windows start-up items (such as AOL toolbar, Quicktime startup, Yahoo Instant Messenger start-up..) you don't use
6. Upgrade you memory if under 2GB...if you don't have that much as have Windows Vista and don't want to pay the price of new memory, buy a USB stick of size 2GB and let Vista use it as extra memory
7. Run XP instead of Vista (a good bit faster)...or stop running Windows and run Linux instead (it's MUCH faster)
8. Turn off any fancy visual desktop themes (especially under XP)
9. If 3D graphics run slowly, buy a new video card (Nvidia 8600GT/ATI X1300 or better)
---------------------------
Only if you've done all the above and they fail to improve speed enough...should you consider buying a faster computer.
Don't bother overclocking, it will realistically only give a 10% difference in speed on most machines and will often ruin a machine over a couple of years, even if done "smartly".

How do you know what short cuts to delete to help your PC to run faster?

3d scanner video image

coloriverh

I've heard that Windows XP takes up space with alot of useless files that you don't need once the program has been downloaded. Which are safe to delete? Thank you

Answer
These are the quickest ways to make your pc faster, if you need more help on how to do these, answers are a google away. I will just tell you what works.

A) Be sure you have at least 512 mb of ram. More may be overkill if you don't do a lot.

B) Use a good system cleaner like ccleaner, and make sure yoru startup entries are barebone, loading nothing except your antivirus, firewall, and messenger.

C) Use a good antivirus like AVG that doesn't hog system resources but has a nice and solid AV.

D) Use a spyware scanner like lavasoft adaware or spyboy search & destroy occasionally for scanning.

E) It really helps if your processor is at least 1.5 ghz or higher.

F) Get an ATI 2d/3d video accelerator. It can speed things up tremendously, especially working with video. More is better, but recommended you get no less than 32 mb for good performance.

G) In system properties, turn off everything under appearance except for using visual styles ( if you want things to be pretty), but if you just care about performance, uncheck that as well & use windows classic view.

H) Turn off windows updates, & if you have service pack 2, remove that as well, because MS never fix all the bugs, service pack 2 slows a pc to hell and breaks compatibility with many popular softwares.

I) Get a new harddisk, if your pc is older, the newer ones, (you want a 7,200 rpm or faster, as they can save and retrieve data over 2x faster than just a 5,400 one). I wouldn't select below about a 40 or 60 gig size, if you go too large, above 137, windows may or may not recognize it without somethig like maxtors free large drive fix.

J) If you dont use a background, it may make windows marginally faster, along with using black for your background.

K) If you have thousands of files, storing them in an external usb 2 drive will save you disk space and make windows substantially faster.

L) Turn off system restore, it slows things down. Some do not think it does, but system restore, in addition to doing it every 12 hours or so, depending on your settings, it does it for many popular apps when you install them such as media player 10. Over time, it can take many gigs of space and slow the pc down.

M) Use locate32 for finding files. It is free, finds files in a fraction of a second compared to over 15 min for windows when searching large drives, but may need you to undate its database before you start searching. Every time you mod or add lots of files, update it before searching, but it puts win search to shame, plus uses an easy interface similar to win 98.

N) Use startup manager from nirsoft. It is free, and not only checks for startup entries, but the entries show can all be deleted in mass, not just one at a time, plus it also shows all browser helpler objects. All browser helper objects may be deleted. Some debate about tea timer that comes with spybot search and destroy, or adobe but the truth is you can safely run your pc withotu any bho, as many do more harm than good anyway.

O) Google a free tool to stop prefetch. On xp, it needs to be cleaned out every so often. Some say it is harmless, but over time, when removing or testing large numbers of files, prefetch can get loaded with pointers to non existent files.

P) Remove things you dont need, such as windows messenger. Disable auto updater, turn off remote pc support, disable reboot on error, disable error reporting, turn off windows messenger spam service, disable grouping of taskbar items and hiding of system icons, turn off the rpc rebooting under all 3 of it's services.

Hope these helped. There may be others, but these should be more common ones that you can easily do with a bit of google.
