A lot of memory used after the repair Installation of Windows XP

I recently put a new motherboard in my computer and it took that I re - install Windows XP.  I managed to re - install Windows XP with my previous settings still intact, but I noticed that he had a lot of memory used (~ 20 GB) which has not been used before the installation of my new motherboard.  I checked all the files that I had in 'My Computer', and the total memory was not adding up to what was planned to be used.

During the Windows XP installation process, I chose the option to repair an existing Windows XP, in the hope that it would recover my previous settings.  I could continue until the activation of the installation part and had trouble with it; but was soon fixed.  I thought that if I continued to repair the existing Windows XP that it would remedy the activation part I had problems.  So all I can assume is that additional memory that has been used is from several times, I fixed my existing operating system due to the multiple copies of the same files that were used to repair.
I contemplated I should save my computer, delete the partition, reformat the hard drive and install a fresh Windows XP or find a way to delete the files that take up a lot of place and who fail to find.  With the first option, I'd still have these files 'Phantom' on my backup, which in turn would be always present when I restore my backup the freshly installed Windows XP.
I would like to know if I'm near a possible remedy to this situation, or y at - it another option I don't see who could solve this problem?

  • Error loading operating system message is displayed after the partial installation of Windows XP

    Hello all, I was doing a clean install of Windows XP from the CD on my desktop PC.  I had reached the point where I had deleted the existing system partition and created a new system partition and had begun to load data from system to system on the CD when I accidentally stop the surge protector, shutting off the power to the computer, the screen of the monitor, etc.  After that I restored power, I turned on the PC without the XP installation CD in the CD/DVD drive.  The system posted successfully and start the CD line appeared IMMEDIATELY followed by the message "error loading operating system" on a new line.  I tried to start with the installation of XP in the drive disc, as well as with the "Ultimate Boot CD" in the player - the "Error loading operating system" message appeared in both cases.  Thanks for any help you can provide!

    The desktop PC has had a full legal work Windows XP with SP3, but I chose to reinstall from scratch, because I had problems with corrupted data in the Zone Alarm and card ATI graphics card software that caused random outages, lead to situations of re - start.  I couldn't fix the files for these 2 applications that I had this desktop PC in stock for more than 18 months and I couldn't remember the administrator password I had used.

    Once more, these error messages tell me you dΘmarrez the hard disk and no CD-ROM drive.  The message "NTLDR is missing" is read the boot sector, on most of the installations of Windows, the boot sector is usually the absolute sector 63 on the disc, using DiskProbe you will see the text of the message to the given sector.

    Your drive is perhaps at fault... or it may be absolutely nothing wrong with it!  You may need to press a key to boot from the CD, often you see a message like «Press any key to boot from CD...» "or some thing in this sense, maybe you're not a touch and the BIOS ignores the boot from CD-ROM and goes to the next boot device (hard drive).

  • After the new installation of windows installation

    Hello

    My computer has receantly had virus problems and I want to do a new installation of windows.  After I do this can I reinstall my copy of creative suite and use the code provided to or he'll tell me its already in use since technically, I did use it once already?  If Yes is it possible around it?  I really don't want to drop $800 again just to reload windows on my computer.

    Thanks for any help!

    Disable your existing installation of Creative Suite for free activation.

    Open any application e.g. Photoshop then help > Deactivate. That will disable the entire suite.

    Reinstall Windows.

    Reinstall the Creative Suite and it reactivates during installation.

  • Keyboard output incorrect characters after the re-installation of Windows Vista on Dell XPS M1530

    Original title: some of the keys on the keyboard messed up after re-installation of Windows Vista on Dell XPS M1530

    Hey guys,.

    I have recently reinstalled windows because last year I picked up a few errors that I couldn't fix it easily and I wanted a clean slate.

    I have install all the drivers etc, but I noticed on my keyboard, if I try and make a "sign it comes up with a sign @ and vice versa." There are also others like that, so I guess that my keyboard readers need to update? Although I have no idea why they would need updating as they were before.

    Anyway, I went here: http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&ServiceTag=&SystemID=XPS_M1530&os=WLH&osl=en&catid=&impid= and I tried to find the driver I need, but could not find them.

    So, overall, my question is should I update the drivers? If so, how?

    And if not, how can I fix?

    Thank you. :)

    Hi cripple.

    Thank you for your message.

    Was is happening until you have reinstalled Windows?

    How do you reinstall Vista, what steps did you take?

    What is a wireless keyboard?

    If this is the case, check the batteries and make sure that the keyboard is very close to the receiver (a few inches) to see if the problem resolves.

    I suggest updating your anti-virus definitions and run a fun system scan.

    You can connect another keyboard to your computer to see if it might be the fault of the keyboard?

  • Cannot adjust the brightness of the screen after the new installation of Windows 7

    I have a Pavilion dv2945se notebook. I have completely updated the Nvidia geforce 7150 m drivers. My laptop came with Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit, and I did a new install of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. I can't adjust the brightness of the display. I narrowed down the problem to the generic PnP Monitor driver. How can I solve this problem?

    Edit: I mean "impossible to adjust the brightness of the display" that every time I go into power options and trying to use the cursor, Windows Explorer crashes. Also, my fn + F7 and F8 keys light work before I connect to windows, but not after. I think that something will charge when I connect to windows that is causing the problem. So I went in Mode safe, but then all that allows to control the brightness has not loaded when I went into safe mode, which was not helpful. I also went into MSConfig and disabled all startup programs, but again, I have the same problem. The brightness of the keys work before connect you to Windows, but not thereafter.

    When I turn off the device generic PnP monitor (1) can't adjust the brightness at all and (2) the Power Options window stops freezing. That's how I've narrowed the problem to the generic PnP Monitor driver.

    I finally solved this by uninstalling the driver for the ALPS touchpad. Because there are no Windows 7 drivers for my laptop even though it is listed in the models capable of upgrading to Windows 7, I used Windows Vista touchpad drivers. It was the cause of my problem with brightness adjustment. I don't know why it worked, but I've narrowed it down by disabling all processes start and then from their one at a time to see what caused the problem. As soon as I started Apoint.exe, I started to have problems.

    Now, I just have to find a way to disable the touchpad tapping without the ALPS drivers.

  • Acer 1810TZ webcam works only after the new installation of Windows 7

    My hard drive died so I don't have access to the recovery partition. I did a fresh install of Windows 7 on a new drive.  Everything works except the webcam.  Windows has recognized and installed the drivers (and works) but nothing can connect to it.  It was working before the accident (also W7).

    The Acer website says it is made by Chicony (is ID 0 c 45 6310 suggests Sonix) so I downloaded and installed the drivers installed and appropriate Acer Crystal Eye, but it crashes at startup without error message.  Skype and other applications cannot connect to the camera webcam.  I also tried all the other drivers on the Acer website, just in case.

    Comparability Windows Center suggests that the pilot was developed by Suyin that might be the problem.  I found some Sonix drivers that will install on the Microsoft ones but make no difference.  I tried to install and Crystal Eye running in compatibility mode.

    Any ideas how to solve this problem?  I am now at a total loss.

    Help much appreciated. Thank you.

    Hi Shalini

    Thanks for getting back to me.

    I am running 64 bit.

    Yes, the webcam is detected under as WebCam imaging devices.

    Drivers been uninstalled (reboot) and re-installed (reboot)

    Webcam programs have been removed (CrystalEye & Skype)

    I downloaded for a Chicony (WebCam_Chicony (AP) _1.1.95.71_Win7x86x64) drivers as Acer judged my Chicony camera Suyin not

    I heard support from Acer, who say that the problem is caused by a difference between OEM and sales at retail of Windows 7 and I need to re - install Windows from the recovery DVD.  I prefer not to do that.

    Thank you
