Ok, so first off if any one here does security systems, like setting up security systems, DVR's and properly networking them so you can VPN from any computer your at in a CCTV network. I am interested in learning as much as possible to help the person who runs a company called Wisconsin Rangers here in Wisconsin. Any ways if any one has intresting websites or a good book worth reading please tell me, any bit of information helps me.
Second, I'm trying to help the owner of the company with his computer but no matter what I try I just can't get it to work. Here's the problems with it:
1. His sound doesnt work, but I think that has to do with the rest of the problems
2. His computer has some thing running in the back ground in a SVChost process that is drawing all his Processing power and memory possible, its always showing at 100%. I have spent hours trying to figure out what process it is but to no avail.
3. Every time I try to go update his computer thinking it needs to update, a whole 19 updates. It won't it fails and the error code I find doesn't help me at all. I Google it an nothing appears to help.
4. I noticed this after he put some new memory in, I asked if he made sure he had the exact right type of memory needed. He said he took his last ram to a local computer shop and they got him the right type. He has 4gb of ram but it will only use 3.5gb so .5gbs arent being used.
Ok at this point I'm super fed up with trying to get his computer working, so as of right now I want to just make a copy of all of his files onto my external hard drive and restore his computer back to defualt settings and go from there adding what he wants back onto his new clean computer. He has like 100 OEM disks because he owns a ton of computers, so I don't know which one will be good with his current computer..Would it just be easier to burn my own default disk? Is there a way to create one with XP?
+rep for any help and a huge thank you!
