WESTTEK Clearvue and WM5

I seem like the only one that uses this buut here we go...
I've used this suite of tools on pocketpc's and smart phones for years. and alsoways have good results.
but with my Uni and WM5 the JETCET app has become flacky. it only seems to print after a softreset.
i've using it on an HP460wbt bluetooth printer i tried the IPP option but it was a complete waste of time.
any help?

RE
Hi skywriter,
Did you manage to get ClearVue PDF v3.xx to install on your Universal which comes with the default PDF 2.xx?
I can't. If yes, how do you manage to get rid of the default v2.xx PDF? Is the default v2.xx exists as a cab file in the EXTROM?
Thanks

i use pro so the version 3 installs fine. i just move the old pdf into temp after and ignore it. maybe move it before would help?

RE

I don't understand. Could you elaborate? What happens after you soft reset or hard reset, would the old v2.xx returns?
Thanks

RE
Problems!!!
I tried installing CLEARVUE SUITE PRO trial to my SD card but it fails to detect the SD card's presence
I then continue the installation but it fails to install the printer cab
Nothing was installed
Any help?

RE
OK, I managed to install the program on my PPC.
The reason is because of the failed installation from my PC the cab files are made available on my PPC.
Unfortunately the various modules took up a large chunk of my storage memory even though I installed them to my PPC - left with about 3.2MB
However, I'll test it out tonight. I hope that my printer ink has not dried up

i install jetcet_41_ppc_v4[1].1.422 which should be part of clearvue pro 3 of SD card.
i use a bluetooth HP460 printer
WHEN it prints, the output is quite good on WM5. however, that reliabilty of getting it to print is ridiculously unpredictible. i ssem to have to softreset, or refresh the boothtooth paring. to get it to print without a 'cannot find printer error', and cannot create printer context[14]'.
paradoxically the same previos version of JETCET 4.0 and clearvue 3.xxx running on a H4350 works fine.
additionally, the configuration only allow COM8 in the bluetooth binds, although it nets COM6 should be used.
i removed all other buetoth apps, hard reset and restore many times.
nothing else i know of prints all office docs. printboyce isn't enough.
i don't want to swap the ROM as i really need QTEK's A2DP.
could i se the H4350 and a printserver of sort? there is no bluetooth file transfer services
of coruse i bought the 80211.b card for the printer and that can't even see the printer at all... god i'm hating computers.

RE
Sorry, took so long to test
Just started to test and realized my black ink has dried up
Got the error "unable to create printer context[14]" so did a soft reset but could not get it to print
I've set my HP 450CBi to COM:8 and my QTEK 9000 to COM:8 as well but it still fails to print by prompting the above error

i get a similar error. bu tthe h4350 works fine at the same time... if only it would be a printer server... i sldo got an IPP card for the printer doesn't work at all with anything stupid technology only 90% operative!

well i am completely disillusioned. on my h3450 (2003SE) the buetooth function all work fine. the version 3 pro clearvie apps for WM5 are flacky, and oonly seem to print immedialtely after a soft reset. not useful if you need to download an attacdhment and print it out on a con call. i've used this product over the years on ipaq, and smartphone and it has been great this is a major flaw. we need this fixed. i have now know alternatives. printboyce is too primative
has anyone evr gpt a repsponse from westtek support? i really need a working app! if even i could use the 3450 and a print server.
i stripped the uni down to hard reset and onluy installed this app. is 'seemed' been to have been behaved, but i think i was rushed.. but once i added apps on top it got more unstable... this may be the best diagnostic path...
QTEK ROM.

does anyone know another ROM is reliable and can have the A2DP patch applied to it?

WM5Torage doesnt work ?

Wm5Torage not working
Anyone tried it ?

you need version 1.73

No 1.73 does not seem work either and neither does 1.75 (or Softick Card Export)

May I know if you manage to solve the problem because i'm facing the same problem. thank you

The only thing I found working is Softick Card Export II v3.05 (only this and later versions)...
I heard that after installing the above, WM5torage is known to work too, because it needs the drivers that Card Export uses...
Don't know what's treu about that...
And why instll WM5torage when you get Card Export to work?

I can confirm Softick will work, as good if not better than WM5torage. (except for the free part ) WM5torage won't work on the 8525 either. And as the other member stated, make sure it's 3.05 version. Any other version has bugs with WM6.

Jep, I know Softick is not free...
(It's a shame!)
But someone told something about regularly removing a reg key ro stretch the trial period...
I don't think Softick intended it to work that way...

Good one

WM5torage does work well when connecting to a Linux computer. I transfer files all day with my 8925. I get the same "card not formatted" error when I tested in XP. The author, Ingvarr, states that problem lies in the USB driver that came with the Kaiser units and that if he could fix it, he would have already.

Then what is Softick doing differently then? Their (commercial) application Card Export II does exactly the same as WM5Storage, but they have succesfully updated their version 3.05 to support the TytN II.

I think Card Export II uses its own proprietary USB driver. It works like a champ. An interesting thing is, now that I have Card Export II installed, WM5toarge works as well. I haven't purchased the CEII yet, but am wondering if I can find out which USB driver is installed and use it in conjunction with WM5torage.
Maybe someone here with the brain will find out.

can someone confirm, if wm5torage works when sceII's trial expired?

Ohh good question.

hope someone can check it. i have still 20days of trial comming...

How come the WM5Torage 1.78beta2 link was removed? I downloaded it from this thread. Should work but not tested yet!

hehe, working, but only when softick card export 2 is installed.. because of this i removed it.. sorry

WM5torage is still working after the trial of Softick Card Export II has expired.
I changed the registry key HKLM\Software\Softick\Card Export\Installation time to force an expiration.
You still need to start the Tray Client (\Program Files\Softick\Card Export II\CardExportSetup.exe) before using WM5torage, though.
Tip: set Card Export II not to start at startup and create your own shortcut in \Windows\Startup
Update: WM5Torage stops working when the trial is expired. I modified the registry so that the trayclient thought it was expired. W5Torage still worked. Now that the actual trial period is passed, also WM5torage stops working.
Helas..

What about the 1.8 version?

Route 66 N 7 - "file is missing"

Yep, yet again i'm suffering because i've purchased legal software ....
OK so, I purchased route 66 for use on my G900. I couldn't get it installed as I kept getting the message
at least one file is missing. please install the application again
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Eventually someone gave me a linked to a hacked copy and guess what? It worked. thats 1 nil to pirated software.
I replaced my G900 and sadly lost its memory card (so im unable to just copy it over). So now, again, I try the software CD and get the same message above ... shock! Only this time, i don't have a hacked copy to revert back to.
Before you all shout ... "USE THE SEARCH!" here are some answers that i've found whilst looking through forum search:
move the maps to the memory card - done. Infact, done by the software.
wipe the card (well its a Diamond so, sort of) - done
reinstall - done, several times
Sadly, as I can't launch it, I can't tell you exactly which version I have - only that its R66 Navigator 7.
Any ideas how I can get rid of this crappy message and use software i've been stupid enough to pay for?

anyone, please? i'm desperate....

THANKS ALOT for this, been looking to update my aged, and slow, yet my favorite phone which is still my main one.
I have couple of questions,
1) I see from the russian site u linked there is a WM 6.1 EN rom for it, what build is it, older than this rose_rom's 20757?
2)Which one is faster, this or WM 6.1 EN? (i am interested in speed rather than the 6.1 homescreens or overbloated dial skins)
3)i downloaded few days ago from a chinese site a file called otto wm6.1ru.abi. is it more or less the same? the translation on that page says they got it from 4pda. also from the screenshots of that site, radio ROM wasnt included, does this or WM 6.1 EN has a radio ROM?
3)What is the writing system on this rose_rom and WM 6.1 EN is it the bit annoying xT9/eT9 like all the 6.1 ROMs out there, or the amazing Palm dropdown autocomplete IME as in the original 6.0?
4)For speed and keeping the same features as the origial 6.0, which one do u recommend?
5)As i understood from chinese to english google translation from that site, to flash this, i need to format an SD card with Fat32, put the .abi file in it, enter bootloader(pressing down+on) and it will autoflash, is this correct?
6)What languages it comes with?
Again Thank you very much for this and your time, and I hope i didnt annoy you with my questions. Althoug i have many HTC Smartphones, this phone is my favorite and the only one i actually use from day to day with my custom mods on it. so i cant just try and flash stuffon without getting info about it.
Thanks.

Thank you for your quick answers, its ok i figured its google translator but you give me all the info i need, as long as its faster, has english, and u flash it with fat32 microsSD, it is what i am looking for.
Also i registered last night with 4pda.ru to check the WM 6.1 EN it also turned out to be same build, 20757. (took me 1 hour to register trying to figure out how the security code work, i kept copying/pasting russian characters, it turned out to be XX+XX=)
I decided to go with this Rose ROM, hopefully i will try it this weekend.
Thanks again.

Any luck trying? I'm so tempted to try too, but the only thing holding me back right now is the fact that I can't go back to the original ROM if anything goes wrong.
Or is there a way to revert if you prefer the original palm WM version?
Thanks to caramba_sda, I almost gave up hope on seeing a new WM version on my palm.

IntrudersMissedCallsSmsFix-The substitution of adopted SMS missed calls on the name of the notebook (contact).
tgetfile-system library necessary for certain programs such as Notepad

OK I FLASHED THIS. 1ST IMPRESSION IS EXCELLENT, THE PHONE IS MUCH, AND I MEAN MUCH FASTER THAN STOCK ROM AND LOOKING GOOD. STANDBY AS I USE IT NORMALLY THROUGHOUT THE DAY WITH CALLS, EXCHANGE PUSH AND (FINALLY) SMS-CHAT AND I WILL POST MORE CONCLUSIONS.
Boots in an ONE INSTANT, instead of ONE HOUR, and everything is so responsive, also windows folder is quite small and opens quickly.
Finally the LAG on the stock 6.0 is gone. I removed the clock on top and the battery meter, dont like those. Also i need to install Office and Windows Live and bring back my looks then it will be perfect.
Again Thank you very much caramba for your hard work and reviving that phone again.
EDIT - UPDATE ON STATUS
Activesync/Exchange Push, Emails, Contacts and Calendars works flawlessly and perfect. Still as fast as the 1st boot with all my mails and contacts in it. As well as Text Messaging also perfect. The best part is that the original autocomplete has remained and not replaced by that xT9.
However there are 3 issues now, only the 1st is critical with me.
1) the keyboard map is russian, the normal chars are proper english, all the alternalte chars are in russian (when pressing UPARROW) for example i cant get the upper symbols on the keyboard like ? , ' ; $ " @ / i get instead this Ю Б Э Ж Х Ъ this is very important. although in the registry it is 409 the keyboard layout, and the keyboard mapping/driver is pxa27x_keypad_Us.dll.
UPDATE ON THIS ISSUE(FIXED): Checked every where all the registry entries are correct, i tried replacing the pxa27x_keypad_Us.dll with the stock 6.0 one, keyboard froze and didnt work. Edit: Fixed with new release.
2) IE 6 .... I wish u didnt put that horrible browser in and stayed with IE 5, it is slow, the mouse cursor to move takes time and it corrupts the screen where it moves. anyway to revert to IE5 without flashing back.
UPDATE ON THIS ISSUE(FIXED): Found a registry work around, HKLM\Security\Internet Explorer\MSHTML from 1 to 0. I included a CAB for this. Will downgrade to IE5.
3) The font is a bit jagged, or not as smooth as before, specially bold, either it has been edited/replaced or Cleartype not working proper. I will try to replace Segoe with the latest one i have and check later.
UPDATE ON THIS ISSUE(ACCEPT): Tried the stock font, still the same. since it is not a big deal it is ok.

I've downloaded the *.abi file. But how to flash the device ?

copy it to an empty formatted microSD card, put the card in the phone, switch it off, press the down arrow on the the d-pad, while pressing it turn on the phone, it will load in bootloader and autoflash it, u will see red progress bar followed by green bar till its finished, then it will boot super quick.

Thanks.

I've got some problems with flashing it... I formatted the storage card (16gb) to fat32, at least, thats what the tool on my smartphone said, en copied the *.abi file on my storage card. I restarted my phone as instructed en the boot manager starts but doesn't do anything! It's just doing nothing with the palm logo on the background and some red text above it (something about the version or somwhat).
Could someone plz help? My phone is a Treo 500v
btw, here are the 2 files u requested. peter4stra was just asking the first q for me because i didn't had an account here...

thanks for the font. I am not an expert at flashing that palm, it did work with me the 1st time i flashed it. I will start at looking at a more reliable microSD card and smaller size, fat32 on a 16gb will cause corruption, go for a 2GB, good brand.

The font is 4 the russian charactars i guess? Hope it works . you're welcome
Brand of my current is Toshiba. Is it possible to make only one partition on it of 2gb?

I just found a 512MB card. currently i'm backing up the data and then i'll format it and try again. I'll keep u posted.

Not sure about partitioning microSD card, never tried it or heard of it being possible.
No the font is not for russian, if u read my comments on the ROM, i am having slight issue with the font display for some reason on stock it was better, I am not sure if it is the font or some cleartype changes but i will try the stock font and i will see, probably it is the same exact font. it could be just me seeing things
Also this ROM have 1 big issue with keyboard mapping of the alternate characters, ther russian and i am trying to get them to be symbols as my hardware keyboard, but no luck all the settings and drivers are correct.
Apart from that it is super, and I mean super FAST.
UPDATE: The fonts didn't make a diffrence. same. could be settings, i will look through that later. anyways this is nothing to be worried about. also not every day i get emails with big bold green in it. only issue is the symbols.

That did it! Used the 512 MB card and flashed it. It booting like a f1 car, and the look and feel is like: AAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWHHHH!!!!!!!! WAAAAAAA!!!!! really cool xD
Thanks for posting this rom!
I don't really have problems with the symbols.. Just press alt and all the symbols just appear as they should be.

windows 7 labtop problem (need information)

Alrighty quick windows question.
I have a new labtop with windows 7. Its 1.3mgz duel core 4gigs ram
I just don't get this. I can only run one program at a time (and its slow) in safe mode its super fast so it must be some windows service slowing the computer but I don't know how to figure out which one.
On a side note if im in folder A and I move a small file to folder B even if there all on C DRIVE it takes awhile to move it Now I remember on my old desktop I had 5 years ago moving a file from folder to folder was instant, so im unsure why it acts like im moving super large files.
Should be easy to move a fille from location to location not sure if its my anti virus slowing things down or what but its frustrating I have run all programs I can think of I have messed with start up to try speed things up.. also I never seem to have adminstrator rights when trying to do things even though my account is adminstrator
so any thoughts? is there a good windows 7 or labtop website that might help me out? I want this dam thing to speed up a bit when im moving files. I don't get why it would take time to move a text file from a folder to the desktop that seems riduclous to me/ unless its because im downloading while I do that...
Like im installing a program now so I can't really do anything else I thought a brand new labtop would be good at multi tasking but its not and again in safe mode its lighting fast... so I think its a service but I can't think of anyway to figure out which one there are tons of services and if I turn wrong one off im screwed. any info be great... if wrong place post sorry thanks

i get that answer a lot

Go to the start button, search battery settings, and you should see balanced, and powersaver, hit the more button and high performance mode should be there, try that and lmk if that helps, if not I'll let u know how to do a fix from the bios
Sent from my HTC Amaze 4G using XDA

Ja also bei sowas kenn ich mich aus:
1. Wie alt ist dein Laptop schon, also wann wurde er formatiert/neu aufgesetzt?
Wenn das schon 5 Jahre her ist würde sich eine neuinstallation sehr lohnen.
2. Wenn es neu ist könnten nur haufenweise Programme/Dienste/Services installiert sein, die wir einfach nur bereinigen müssen. (Nicht so gut wie neu aufsetzten, aber ich weiß wo man drehen muss, dass man in auf Hochleistung bringt ;-)
Aber zuerst beantworte mir Frage 1. Wenn er schon so alt ist würde ich dir schwer raten diesen neu aufzusetzten und ich brauch jetzt keinen Roman schreiben wie wir Punkt 2 angehen.
3. Bitte lade dir jetzt/gleich dieses Tool runter.
(Okay, leider kann ich keine Links reinstellen - not permitted - das Forum nervt mich langsam)
Gib bei google bitte ein: "Hijackthis chip"
Das Programm Hijackthis von chip bitte herunterladen!
Wie du hoffentlich sehen kannst ist das kein Virus oder sonstiges. Es hilft mir nur deinen PC/Programme/Dienste zu sehen um dir dann besser zu helfen. (Hiermit erkenne ich auch ob z.B. ein Virus/Wurm installiert ist)
Keine Sorge, es gibt keine persönlichen Daten her. Aber du siehst dann das File sowieso.
Bitte dieses Programm mit Administrativen Rechten ausführen. D.h. rechte maustaste auf die *.exe Datei ausführen als Administrator wählen.
Dann startet das Programm und dort steht ein Button. Scan Computer and save a logfile (oder so ähnlich) dieses Logfile stellst du dann bitte hier rein! Einfach das Logfile kopieren und hier ins Forum stellen. Das wars.
So, jetzt warte ich auf deine Antwort bis dann/schönen Abend
//EDIT I am sorry, my brain had not realized that i read your text in english and write my text in german. So the english version:
First: How old is your laptop? When did you last format your system?
When your system is 5 years old and had no format, i would prefer to refresh the system. So to speak, to install windows 7 new.
Secondly: When your system is new, i know how we can change the system how you can get a powerful machine ;-)
But please answer my question 1 first, so i can save time to write a novel, how to speed up your system.
Thirdly: Please download "Hijackthis".
You can get it, when you search at google with the keywords "hijackthis chip".
It is a little program that can give me information about your system. So i can see, if your laptop is overloaded with programs/services. Furthermore i am able to see if you have an trojan or worm on your system, which slows down your pc.
So, now i am waiting for your answer.
Nice evening
Greetings

Download and install malwarebytes... run a scan with it. It should fix any problems you have with viruses or registry errors that are slowing down your computer.

3months old. had a system failier 2 months ago used system restore disks to reinstall windows. labtop never the same it seems...
when first got it was quick fast all time now its not however after taking everything off I could its faster like all special stuff but wtf it was fast when first got it... then after fresh install its been bogged down dunno what changed

Okay, i would prefer you make an format of your system.
Don`t worry it`s easy.
First:
Be sure you have a CD with Windows 7. When you don`t have it, say it to me and i will write you an answer on this problem ;-)
Secondly:
What have you installed on your system. Write it down.
For example: Microsoft Office 2007, 2003, 2010, Vlc, Antivir and so on.
Thirdly:
Make an backup of your data on an external hardware. Musik, Dokuments, pictures.
When you have Microsoft Outlook installed, DON`T forget your emails to backup!!! In Microsoft Outlook click left top on file and there is "Backup/Restore".
There you can backup your emails!
Fourthly:
Put your CD into your laptop and start your boot your system. Boot from your cd. (It is possible when you see your boot logo, for example "DELL", "LENOVO", etc. I don`t mean Windows!! while pressing F10 or F11, F12. It is different on every system. Then there you find a choice:
"Boot your system normally"
"Boot your system from CD"
"Boot your system from USB"
These sentences are also on every machine different, but the sense is the same.
Fiftly:
Follow the windows assistant to install windows 7.
When the assistant is asking you if he should repair windows 7, say no! Make an fresh new install.
Don`t worry. Although it might be difficult to sound, it isn`t and you cannot make something wrong or destroy your laptop!!
Sixthly:
When the assistant is finished, you have a brand new windows 7. Then you click start and enter "windows update". Make windows updates. Install your programs, what you have written at point two and you are finished!
Okay i hope I could help you and I am awaiting your answer ;-)
Wish you happy easter.

well I remember after last fresh install windows was slow. Its been slow sense it first acted up. Its fast in safe mode but when load normal windows it isn't.
I keep getting torn between if its possibly a hardware issue, or software.
I admit there are probaly a lot of running services from stuff being installed then uninstalled however its been slow sense fresh install.
I think I may try uninstalling all the crap see if it speeds up however with 4 gigs ram I would think it could run windows 7 with all the bells and wissles its very frustrating that it can't. I mean its lagging like something bogging system down... I wonder if maybe its the cpus I read that my labtop has slow cpu power common problem .... so dunno... I going think about it I don't care to reinstall everying again though maybe thats what it will take.
Anyone rec. a program that check to tell me if its hardware? If it runs plenty fast in safe mode its software problem? or maybe a service is tripping up windows... dunno maybe its a setting from when it got installed... something got clicked shouldn't have dunno.... I don't want to stress poor thing out have it break for good... figuer formating might stress the MB or HD out if thats the real issue... thoughts?

Alrighty quick windows question.
I have a new labtop with windows 7. Its 1.3mgz duel core 4gigs ram
I just don't get this. I can only run one program at a time (and its slow) in safe mode its super fast so it must be some windows service slowing the computer but I don't know how to figure out which one.
On a side note if im in folder A and I move a small file to folder B even if there all on C DRIVE it takes awhile to move it Now I remember on my old desktop I had 5 years ago moving a file from folder to folder was instant, so im unsure why it acts like im moving super large files.
Should be easy to move a fille from location to location not sure if its my anti virus slowing things down or what but its frustrating I have run all programs I can think of I have messed with start up to try speed things up.. also I never seem to have adminstrator rights when trying to do things even though my account is adminstrator
so any thoughts? is there a good windows 7 or labtop website that might help me out? I want this dam thing to speed up a bit when im moving files. I don't get why it would take time to move a text file from a folder to the desktop that seems riduclous to me/ unless its because im downloading while I do that...
Like im installing a program now so I can't really do anything else I thought a brand new labtop would be good at multi tasking but its not and again in safe mode its lighting fast... so I think its a service but I can't think of anyway to figure out which one there are tons of services and if I turn wrong one off im screwed. any info be great... if wrong place post sorry thanks

Some antivirus have the background programs ram occupation info. You should see if your's as that

I suggest to remove any unnecessary programs, to use C Cleaner and avast preboat scheduled scan for viruses
If not successful save your data and format

If you installed from CD, did you go to the pc mfg web site to load your drivers? Check device manager to make sure everything is working right. What kind of labtop I'd it?
Are you sure you did a fresh install or did you repair or just install a new copy of windows? You need to zap the partition and reformat.
Most newer computers have a restore partition that will reinstall your system just like it came from the factory. Did you go that route? It will also install the drivers.

its pain in the ass to reformat the system. I would be mad as heck if I did that and it wasn't any better..
When first got it I remember it being slick and fast. When I had it repaired I remember it being groggy like bogged down, I know the system restore cds (from toshiba) were used to fix it But I have no idea what opiton was used., I know there is a recover partition on it.
So how would I go about doing this? I don't really game on it much so I guess not a huge deall its just anoying how it hangs when I messing around doing couple things once. I dunno.. plus I barley got anything on it now if its slow now im worried once I start counting on it to be dependable its going crap out on me. If its a windows deal I would rather clean install fix problem but if its a mother board issue won't formatting just push it? Plus if I am going try get it fixed under warrenty (which im not sure will cover this) I should look into it now.
I just need know whats really wrong with it I guess.. I mean it works for basic stuff but it hangs some times restarting and it slow to do anything like any programs and it freezes a lot. (but in safe mode) its pretty dang fast and zippy..
maybe I want more from it then it can deliver. dunno I just want to know its not going crap out on me once school starts., Then again maybe thats what back ups for? I dunno funny my phone faster and more dependable then my labtop costs same too haha

What model Toshiba? Google it to find what keys to push during bout to get restore menu. Toshiba will make you go through that before they wool let you send it in for repair.

Please run "HIJACKTHIS" and post the logfile!!

how can I test if its hardware issue or mother board issue with out returning it?

if you can put a list of the processes you have active at the start of the computer i can tell you if there is somtnihg wrong on your pc.

If you would post your model, then find the keystrokes to get to the restore partition, then do a full restore from the partition,(not the cds) if it still acts the same then you have a hardware problem.
Since you are under warranty, i would call them and get a ticket open so you don't have to restore it again when you call for an rma.

Go to start, and type in the search box " msconfig ", click on it. Then go to the startup tab and uncheck everything. Restart it and see if that makes any difference.

Are you kidding me ?
Do you do anything what we say?
Run Hijackthis. So we can see your Software!
For problems with your harddisk (it could be possible) google for "Sea Tools" or "Max Blast"
motherboard problems - i don`t know. I am not able to say if there is a program on the net, that can tell you something about your "ability" of your motherboard.

Try task manager
Take a look in task manager to see what is using the CPU. Just in case you aren't sure how to get task manager up, you can go to it by hitting ctrl+alt+delete and selecting task manager, or by right-clicking your task bar (the bar that is usually at the bottom of your screen that contains the Windows start button) and choosing task manager. Once the task manager is started, choose the processes list and see what is hogging your CPU. To organize by CPU usage, simply click the CPU column header and that will organize the processes by those with heaviest CPU usage first.
If this doesn't give anything useful, you should run a memory diagnostic because maybe the memory in the system has gone bad and you aren't actually using the full 4GB of RAM. To run this, go to Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Memory Diagnostic Tools.
Finally, if this doesn't work, you may want to peruse your BIOS for any abnormal settings. This is broad, I know, but you can usually find standard BIOS settings for your motherboard on the internet. Not to mention, you may need to update your BIOS.
