You can download a Windows XP recovery console (ISO) by CD image I'm not very high technology, I just generally help solve problems by searching the Web for answers.Ĭan someone offer me some very specific steps to get his computer facing up and running, please? Also, before doing anything that is suggested as I can and I have to back up his hard drive? If so, how can I do that without possibility to connect to the computer?
However, I have access to a Windows 7 Cd, but as I understand it, this doesn't help me as much as a windows 7 CD won't work on an XP operating system. In addition, as info, she has not installed anything new recently. She can't find the cd of 'restoration' and I can't find a windows XP CD created to boot from. I can't start in safe mode because it just goes back to the blue screen and gives the same error. I'm working on my aunt's computer and she recently started having an error message when it tries to start his computer: "Stop: c0000135" and "winsrv was not found" error. But for $11 I'll bet on the future of the device."Stop: c0000135" and "winsrv was not found" error I'd love to have seen 5GHz wireless support and I want more content/apps and I'd love to see some direct streaming or an easy way to get photos streamed (I hear you can do videos but haven't tested yet). Limited content for now (no local content either) + includes HDMI extension, usb cable, and usb power supply (amazing for the cost) + Small/portable (just need to bring the USB power and the device) ++ Cross platform (Android 2.3 or higher, iOS 6 or higher, Chrome for Windows, Mac, Chromebook) +++ Cost - $35 or $11 depending on when you ordered But with how well this has been selling I imagine we'll be seeing more apps support it soon.
If you only use this thing a small handful of times, just to quickly stream a chrome tab up on your TV or to watch a youtube video it's worth it. Eleven Dollars!! If you weren't lucky enough to order by then - it's not as good a deal but the device is still worth $35.
The puts the net cost of the device at just $11.03 plus tax. When you factor that in you're getting $23.97 of a service you're probably already paying for.
Not only that, but if you ordered soon enough it comes with 3 months of Netflix for new OR existing customers (although limited to one code per account so if you buy multiples you'll get multiple codes but can only personally use one of them). The selection of content/apps needs work, but it's brand new and will get better - hopefully.īut here's the great thing. So what's not so good: It's limited to 2.4GHz wireless, which is slower and more congested than 5GHz spectrum. The negative of this is no direct mirroring and limits functionality to application specific implementations BUT it allows the device to be turned off or removed from the network or other tasks to be done on the device.
Technically it works differently as again AirPlay streams from device to Apple TV or similar device, Chrome Cast doesn't send content from the phone to the Chrome Cast directly but instead allows the Chrome Cast device to pull the content from the internet/cloud. It all works very well and if you have any experience with AirPlay from iOS/Mac you'll be used to how it works from an end user standpoint. WiDi, AirPlay or Miracast) but that's due to again, it working more like a remote.
Web browsing, which is in beta form, is noticeably laggy.
The streaming functions work really well, there's a small small delay since the device acts as a remote more or less.
Content must come from the internet at current and does not support local file streaming (except in a loophole where you can load local files in to a chrome tab, those will be streamed). Set up is a breeze: you plug it in to HDMI, plug in the USB for power (either to the TV or to the included USB power plug), connect to its ad-hoc network via the chrome cast app and then it's good to go.Ĭontent is currently limited to: Google Play media, YouTube, Netflix, and tabs from Chrome browsers on Windows, Mac, and Chromebook (Pixel only at this time).
