Start Menu does not work in Windows 10: Solution

Clicked but no menu appears (with the right button we get a hidden menu but not complete)
Oddly, the problem is from the display driver, the included one by Windows . Especially if we see the "Windows Shell experience host" tasks process consumes all the time 10% of the CPU or more.

Drivers for Windows 10 ATI RV370 (X300)


Here you have the direct download, without advertising, of drivers that work for this card in Windows 10 (64 - bit and I think also 32 bits).
If it gives you an error with the installation, you have to install them manually (by going to Device Manager -> Select Display driver (right mouse button) -> Update Driver, select it manually on the system, locate the driver directory).

I've gone crazy looking for them ... getting no more than incorrect drivers for it (Ati no longer supports it) so if I hope will save more than one headaches... :).

Blurry text in Google Chrome and other Aplis after installing Windows 10: How to fix it


Windows 10 by default applies a display configuration and scaling according to the screen size that we have, which may result in a neat desk, but in some computers the applications could be all with blurry text, as if it were not using the native resolution of the screen, despite having drivers and well detected screen. To fix this and get and clear view in Windows 10, we just have to follow these steps :

Get the most out of your SSD: Adjust Windows 7 settings


I chose the 840 Evo 250GB for its value / capacity / price

Change your computer's hard drive for an SSD ( Solid State Drive ) is the best way to rejuvenate a few years , letting you skip loading the operating system in a minute to do it in just 15 seconds ; thanks to the speed of read / write access to the programs is almost instantaneous.
Disks SSD, being immune to shock and vibration , are especially recommended for laptops, as discussed in the previous post on the subject . The best value are the Samsung and Crucial (for less than 100 € 250GB -4/06/14).
And if you use the Samsung RAPID software, get these speeds ( Source )

Installing Windows 7 on an Acer Aspire 1690 or 1692LMi


Windows 7 is currently the best operating system of Microsoft, for speed, security and compatibility, being as fast as XP on computers with enough memory (2GB of RAM recommended), on computers with little RAM is highly recommended to install version Starter, occupies the least. 

But when installed on older computers like ACER Aspire laptop, you have to look for lifebecause some drivers are not directly available on the website of the computer manufacturer. 
The first thing to do is check if some drivers, but did not come with the Windows 7 DVD, may be in line for example in the Aspire 1692LMi both IrDA infrared port sound as we have them available if we give automatic driver search. 

Depending on the computer, we have to find out if there are compatible drivers available, usuallythose for Windows Vista will run smoothly on Windows 7. 

Installing drivers on Aspire 1692LMi step by step: 
  1. For Wifi unzip and run this file in administrator mode, and although we give error to restart will automatically recognize the wireless card built in. If it still will not install, installing all Windows updates will recognize.
  2. For the built-in card reader, it is worth us with Controller ATI website, here you have it available .
  3. For sound and infrared, as we discussed, we give automatic search online, or install all updates are installed automatically.
  4. To install the video card Ati Radeon X700 Mobitily, you must download and unzip this file several ancient Mobility Controllers, the "9-11_legacy_7_vista_32-64_dd_ccc_mobility"eg C: /, and then proceed to install the .inf folder C: \ ATI \ Support \ 9-11_legacy_vista32-64_dd_ccc \ Packages \ Drivers \ Display \ LH_INF manually:

Batch conversion Autocad drawings to different versions (2004, 2010, etc)

Using Autodesk DWG Trueview 2012, free to use for viewing developed plans in AutoCAD, we can also convert between different versions if we only license for an older version (apart from that we can always turn to a universal format dxf). 

(This document was translated using Google Translator from the original spanish article)

First install and open the application, clicking on the "DWG Convert" icon: 



Add planes to convert as many as you want, with the button indicated by the cursor:

How to Install Windows 7 on a Compaq NC8430

Today we are going to install the best current Windows; 7, in this somewhat dated computer but with a Centrino Duo that can cope with the Win7. I've found that does not have the drivers for the hard drive, so I had to go to the manufacturer's website, HP, and download the AHCI Sata hard disk controller. 
To copy it to a USB need to burn it to a floppy, and as I don't have this anymore, I have had to do with a virtual floppy using an USB pendrive.
