So last week I was home by itself while my IT specialist sweetheart was away on business, and the TouchPad on my Toshiba laptop was generating me crazy. I held bumping it whilst I was typing and it would position the cursor somewhere else on the page-totally stuffing up the document I was trying to type. I thought I had developed a great way to sort this matter away: I transpired to the bottom right-hand aspect of the display screen and right-clicked on the TouchPad icon in the toolbar, turning the TouchPad off. The satisfaction of accomplishment lasted no more than ten mere seconds: until I realized which I acquired no mouse, therefore I couldn’t make contact with the document I had been focusing on.
Crap, crap, crap, what was I now likely to do? I tried to turn the laptop off convinced that maybe the TouchPad would work again when I turned it back on. I used to be offered with a fresh problem Now. My laptop has a password. So now not only does my mouse not work but I was locked out of my computer because I couldn’t click on the icon to get into the password. In my own frustration I started hitting random control keys. Some of my IT knowledge came back if you ask me Fortunately; I tried “Control-Alt-Delete,” and YES, it opened up a window for me to enter my password.
One problem down, one problem to visit. I used to be in Windows, I started thinking Once, and thought that if there is an icon on the toolbar then there had to be another icon someplace else. I went into the Control Panel to see if I could find anything useful. 1. If you are locked out of your laptop due to a password, pressing “Control” “Alt”, and “Delete” (all three keys simultaneously) will open up a window which allows you to enter your security password. 2. Once you are logged in, press the button on the left side of underneath the row of your keyboard, usually the third type in: it has the wavy-window Windows logo design onto it.
3. This will open the “Start” menu. From here use the Up arrow button to navigate up to the Control Panel. 4. Utilize the arrow buttons once again to navigate right down to the “Mouse” Icon and press “Enter” again. I press another button on the last row (that includes a logo comparable to Windows) – but didn’t open the Windows Control panel or anything that could take me to another step. I tried so a lot of things I found on the internet. You are my hero!

OMG you made me lost. Thanks, I thought It had been a smart idea once I was having trouble with installing a radio mouse to show from the pad. Yup, now two useless mouses(mice?). I’ll give this a try after work, but it does give me a “duh the windows key” moment. Thank you- that was fantastic advice my 2 12 months old switched off it off and we couldn’t work out how to get it back on!
Smart you are, young skywalker.. Thank you so much! I have an HP but also for the most part It had been the same. I followed the steps however in the “mouse” section under the heading “Buttons” there is no touch pad section that lets me enable or disable, and somehow I’ve turned it off. Very helpful—I made the same errors!
When working properly, swap lets the functional system move old webpages out of RAM, leaving memory space free for things that actually need RAM (like, say, tabs in a web browser – modern web pages are not pretty to parse). For desktop use, this is ideal. The stuff you’re working on gets memory, the startup services and such that haven’t been found in some time get swapped.
Programs frequently have data used during startup that isn’t needed later, but without swap, that must stay in RAM throughout the entire runtime, even though that particular page may never be handled again. I’m just going to say it (again). Micro SD credit cards suck at being truly a general purpose drive. They’re not designed for it and that they tolerate it at all is really quite remarkable.
Unfortunately, dealing with them as a drive tends to wear them out quickly, and the Raspberry Pi established fact for thrashing SD credit cards badly enough to eliminate them. If you are lucky, they still enable you to read all the data but refuse writes. If you’re not lucky, they simply entirely die.
So, I lay out finding a solution to the storage space that was much better than the Sdcard. Ideally, the Raspberry Pie 3 would support arm directly. 2 something or SSD, or have a USB3 port – but it generally does not. Some quick benchmarking indicated that my Sdcard wasn’t producing more than 20MB/s, so theoretically USB2 would be an improvement.
