First of all, please note that the term 'memory' is used to designate the
place where the computer contains the program and data with which it is working
for the time being. It's normally a memory (RAM), but who can
be extended with the page or swap hard disk file. The word
'memory' is never used to refer to the space on a drive (be it
It's a hard drive, floppy disk, CD, DVD or thumb drive). Space on a
hard drive is normally called "storage" or simply "disk space".

Call for 'memory' disk space is not so much wrong as we have just
unconventional. In a sense, the disk space is, of course, memory, but the
important thing to realize is that the word is never used in this way.
and if you do, you do so at the risk of confusion seriously your
public.

So I guess that you may have about disk space, not memory. Do not
remove the previous updates, since doing so put you back in the
situation before the updates, with all the problems and risks to the security
only updates corrected.

Also note that the amount of disk space, you may save is relatively
small. And if you are short on disk space, there are various things
You can do this will save disk space.  But the amount of disk
space will be only a few cents worth. If this amount is

  • Why my PC cannot use all of the available memory?

    Hello

    I have windows ultimate 64 bit and the 6 GB of ram (laptop)

    http://img03.arabsh.com/uploads/image/2012/09/19/0d36454a60fa0d.PNG

    As shown in the photo, there is a free memory and available memory

    Total: 6058
    caching: 2713
    available: 2552
    free: 1

    Why windows cannot use the available memory, although there is no such thing as free storage space!

    What you see is normal.

    Windows 7 do not free memory. He's trying to preload it with applications that she believes, based on experience, that you may need.

    If you have plenty of RAM, you can see more free memory if Windows doesn't find anything to him with preload.

    Available memory is not actively used by all processes memory but it is preloaded with applications, is of the opinion, based on experience, that you might need as I said above. If it is required by another process, it is available to be used and the preloaded data are deleted.

    I hope this helps you.

  • Svchost 100% Windows Update the cause

    From my own post about my problem after taking the post similar here.

    I have a Panasonic Toughbook, running Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005, Version 2002, Service Pack 3. I use Microsoft Security Essentials antivirus. This toughbook gets used to work.

    Noticed the last time I turned it on it, he crawled and was unusable. Today I spent some time with it and noticed the process svchost.exe takes 99% CPU. I have narrowed it down to the service of automatic updates which is the cause and I was also impossible to obtain updates through Windows Update with the right bar from green back and forth endless progression.

    First of all, in the Windows Task Manager, I've selected display, select columns and checked the PID (process identifier). It showed me which instance of svchost was using all of the CPU, PID 1060 (although this PID is probably different on different machines)

    Secondly, I opened a command prompt and ran: tasklist/SVC

    In the list, I looked at used 1060 PID and invalidates them one at a time by services.msc services

    Disabling automatic updates service immediately set the svchost using all CPUS.

    Recheck the tasklist/SVC watch the wuauserv (automatic update service) was the only service missing PID 1060 for the svchost problem.

    I think I found the solution at the moment. I was brought to him a post on another forum.

    The solution was to install the last update of security for IE8 (KB2879017). You can find and download at http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40390.

    Hello

    I suggest you to disable any program of security on your computer and check if it solves the problem.
    Disable the anti-virus software
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software
    NOTE: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    It will be useful.

  • After that windows update, the resolution of my screen has been reduced.

    I can't return address. Re-installation of software has failed. What should do?

    Use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem.  To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore.  Click on the box that says show more restore points.

    Moreover, if you install option via Windows update drivers, that's how many people enter in this kind of situation.  You only need to update the drivers from the website of the manufacturer of your computer, and then only when you have a problem to solve.

    I hope this helps.  Good luck.

Whenever I start a component Office, then it goes to the Windows Installer box takes 15-30 seconds before you start. Also if I start Outlook, same thing then when I email even Windows Installer box.  Tried to restore, only goes so far after this update, I have dealt with this during more than a week and have tried to install a variety of way with no luck.  I don't read a thread here on the 'Office Source Engine (OSE) service"made sure to start which then tried update again once no good same error.  Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    Ed

    On the first screen, select select other options.  It will then bring up a screen showing only the last 5 days of restore points (with a box at the bottom left away from check to display more than 5 days of restore points).  It's the same in all versions of Vista.  I don't understand why you didn't him are not see unless you have not more than 5 days old restore points (but I think that it would always show the box and the option anyway).  Try to run the system restore disk instead of from the computer to see if it works better.
