PC memory issues

My PC currently has 128MB of RAM. When working with large photo files in HP Image Zone photo software and other applications, it's still slow. Will adding another 128MB of RAM help me handle larger picture files?

If you're working with photo files, there's probably no piece of hardware that will speed up the process more than lots of RAM. Anything beyond 128MB will dramatically streamline your workflow. Image-processing programs like HP Image Zone need much more RAM to work efficiently with large files. But the slow speed may be due to another culprit: fragmented hard drive files. If you have problems with speed when opening or closing a file, perhaps your image data is scattered all over your drive. The result? Your hard drive is spending all its time and energy gathering the data to feed your applications. Defragmenting the drive is the simple solution to tidying up your files. If the files aren't fragmented and more RAM doesn't do the trick, your hard drive may just be slow. Consider replacing it or adding a second, faster one to your system.

I am out of ink cartridges (none in the printer) but I just want to scan something...how can I do this?

You can still scan using either the command menu on the scanner or the HP software from you computer. As long as you are not trying to print, having no ink should not effect the scanning.
If you have the HP solution center software, you can open that application and pick scan a document or scan a picture.
From the PSC 1610v controls follow these directions:

Scan to an application

You can scan originals placed on the glass directly from the control panel.

1. Load the original face down on the right front corner of the glass.

User Guide 59

Use the scan features

2. In the Scan area, press Scan To.

The Scan To menu appears. The Scan To menu lists destinations, including

applications, for anything you scan. The default destination is the one you

selected the last time you used this menu.

The Scan To menu can be configured. You can designate which applications and

other destinations appear on the Scan To menu by using the HP Image Zone

software on your computer.

3. To select an application to receive the scan, press until the destination you

want appears on the control panel display, and then press Start Scan.

A preview image of the scan appears in the HP Scan window on the computer,

where you can edit it.

For more information about editing a preview image, see the onscreen HP Image

Zone Help that came with your software.

4. Make any edits to the preview image in the HP Scan window. When you have

finished, click Accept.

For more information on editing a scan in the HP Scan window, see the onscreen

HP Image Zone Help.

The HP All-in-One sends the scan to the selected application. For example, if you
chose the HP Image Zone, it automatically opens and displays the image.

If you don't have the HP solution center, you can download it from this link:

My laptop is running very slow and from yesterday i cannot make call from skype or gtalk other person cannot hear my voice but i can hear his voice

1. Let your PC boot up completely before opening any applications.
2. Refresh the desktop after closing any application. This will remove any unused files from the RAM.
3. Do not set very large file size images as your wallpaper. Do not keep a wallpaper at all if your PC is low on RAM (less than 64 MB).

4. Do not clutter your Desktop with a lot of shortcuts. Each shortcut on the desktop uses up to 500 bytes of RAM
5.Empty the recycle bin regularly. The files are not really deleted from your hard drive until you empty the recycle bin.
6. Delete the temporary internet files regularly.
7. Defragment your hard drive once every two months. This will free up a lot of space on your hard drive and rearrange the files so that your applications run faster.
8. Always make two partitions in your hard drive. Install all large Softwares (like PSP, Photoshop, 3DS Max etc) in the second partition. Windows uses all the available empty space in C drive as virtual memory when your Computer RAM is full. Keep the C Drive as empty as possible.
9. When installing new Software

My HP mini is slow and skype does not work on it

Hi,

a) I suggest you to delete all the temporary files, cookies and history.
Check the available physical memory on your PC and increase if its very slow. If required increase the RAM. You can able to download free software to delete the temporary files on your PC.

b) In some PC's the new version of skype is not working. If you installed that new version just remove it and try the earlier version and check whether that's working or not.

Please let me know for further assistance.

How do you scan an item to the computer

Use the scan features
Scanning is the process of converting text and pictures into an electronic format for
your computer. You can scan just about anything: photos, magazine articles, text
documents, and even 3D objects, as long as you are careful not to scratch the glass
on your HP All-in-One.
You can use the scanning features of your HP All-in-One to do the following:
● Scan text from an article into your word processor and quote it in a report.
● Print business cards and brochures by scanning a logo and using it in your
publishing software.
● Send photos to friends and relatives by scanning your favorite prints and
including them in e-mail messages.
● Create a photographic inventory of your house or office, or archive treasured
photos in an electronic scrapbook.
To use the scan features, your HP All-in-One and computer must be connected and
turned on. The HP All-in-One software must also be installed and running on your
computer prior to scanning. To verify that the HP All-in-One software is running on a
Windows computer, look for the HP Digital Imaging Monitor in the system tray at the
lower right side of the screen, near the time. On a Mac, the HP All-in-One software is
always running.
Note Closing the HP Windows system tray icon can cause your HP All-in-
One to lose some of its scan functionality and result in the No Connection
error message. If this happens, you can restore full functionality by restarting
your computer or by starting the HP Image Zone software.
For information on how to scan from the computer, and how to adjust, resize, rotate,
crop, and sharpen your scans, see the onscreen HP Image Zone Help that came with
your software.
This chapter contains information on: sending a scan to and from different
destinations, and adjusting the preview image.
Scan to an application
You can scan originals placed on the glass directly from the control panel.
1. Load the original face down on the right front corner of the glass.
2. Press Start Scan on the control panel.
A preview image of the scan appears in the HP Document Viewer window on
the computer, where you can edit it.
For more information on editing a preview image, see the onscreen HP Image
Zone Help
that came with your software.
3. Make any edits to the preview image in the HP Scan window. When you have
finished, click Accept.
The HP All-in-One sends the scan to the HP Image Zone software, which
automatically opens and displays the image.
User Guide 31
Scan
The HP Image Zone has many tools that you can use to edit your scanned image.
You can improve the overall image quality by adjusting the brightness, sharpness,
color tone, or saturation. You can also crop, straighten, rotate, or resize the image.
When the scanned image looks just the way you want it, you can open it in another
application, send it through e-mail, save it to a file, or print it. For more
information on using the HP Image Zone, see the onscreen HP Image Zone Help.

Hello sir, the system zone-2 temp., always keeps flashing in red.

It is a motherboard problem. But you can disable that alarm from the BIOS. I would simply raise the upper threshold in zone two from 56 to 60 if I were you. If it still flashes red put it back to 56 and disable it.

MSI Error - HP Image Zone

Hi ChaBair, Image zone is HPs attempt to get its customers to store, share and backup images on their servers: http://www.hp.ca/portal/hho/ize/ I would try reinstalling the installation CD again making sure the printer is off until it prompts you. This time when you get to the part where you can select what components to install document the program names just in case you do have to manually uninstall later. Anyway reinstall and when prompted connect your printer. Also before you actually try to use the printer make sure you go to the HP site and download/apply any patches there may be. This should fix your error problem and give you a good idea which of the ancillary programs to uninstall if you later desire to do that. This didn?t 100% answer your question but I believe it will in the end achieve what you?re looking for. If it doesn?t work let us know and we?ll go from there. Also please don?t forget to rate this posting when we?re done.
