    I just downloaded the Cyberlink PowerDVD software from the HP website On my Windows 8 PC. After few days that it was installed on my system, I received a notification that I need to update my software. I run the update but it failed and crashed. And now, when I try to open the program, it didn't work. I downloaded the latest Service Pack but it gives an error:

    Unhandled Exception

     

    Error Number: 0x80040707

    Description: DLL function call crashed: CLScan.GetHybridVGAMode

    Setup will now terminate.

    OK

    Can someone please help me restore it? Thanks.

  3. Chrome, Firefox, IE10 Comparison w/Poll


    What Browser do you use? Comments on why, are welcome, but not necessary.

    Out of my own curiosity, I made a little comparison of the top 3 browsers, Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer10,

    ie; CPU usage and Memory usage.

    Every browser works differently on every machine, too many variables to get in depth here.
    I made this comparison for myself as I had noticed that out of the three I mentioned, I want to use the best
    one for my needs and the one that uses the least amount of Memory & CPU overall.

    My Comparison:

    Starting with /Google Chrome[/url] Using Task Manager;

    Running Chrome with 1 add-on

    [center

    Very impressed with low running App Memory of only 69.9MB's and 0% CPU usage, however,
    Chrome has 9 running processes using 510.2MB's of memory, plus the 69.9MB's, equals a total of 580.1MB's


    Running Firefox with 9 add-ons. 2 extensions & 7 plugins;
     

     

    /center]

    1 running process @ 4.2MB's, plus 216.4MB's, equals 220.6MB's Memory usage and 1.4% CPU
    You will also note, Chrome has 2 running background processes.

    Running [bInternet Explorer 10[/url][/b] with 3 add-ons;
     

     

    /center]

     

    Extremely impressive with a total of 154MB's Memory usage, 0 running processes and only .5% CPU usage.
    Again, you will note that Chrome still has 2 running background processes.

    Each Browser was used 1 at a time.

    Next will show all 3 browsers open at the same time;
     

    [center

     

    Chrome using a total of 214.3MB's memory & 8.3% CPU
    Firefox using a total of 199.4MB's memory & 5.7% CPU
    Internet Explorer10 using a total of 159.5MB's memory & 3.6% CPU
    FF & IE10 meet my needs, where Chrome lacks the ability to use/show the Menu Bar and by this comparison on my machine, seems to be quite the memory hog.
    Looks like I'm leaning to switch to IE10
