• How can I remove the old Windows folder to a different drive?

  Original title: Old files Windows, Program Files, etc.

  I tried to use before Disk Cleanup and it worked, and I haven't run a complete installation.

  I'm having a problem now, this time, and I did a full install.  Disk Cleanup doesn't show any options to remove an old Windows as it did before.

  How can I remove the old Windows folder to a different drive?  I also try to remove the Program Files folder, as well as with an implementation since.

  It is showing an error message "I need to be in the Administrators group ~", and that TrustedInstaller is owner of the present.

  I have a question that "TrustedInstaller" has full authority on the file system, and 'Administrators' has limited access.

  I noticed that there are other three to make a total of four names of users who have all or nearly full access to the file system.

  Can it be fixed... it's pretty annoying to see this continue..., strictly through Windows Update.

  I look forward to your reply.

• Is it ok to remove the old Windows updates as I have many of them take a lot of disk space?

  I have several updates of microsoft for a few years. I am auto update, but all the old updates are still there. Is it necessary to keep or to delete to free up space. I get warnings that the computer is low on virtual memory.

  original title: is it OK to remove the old windows updates as I have many of them taking place?

  Virtual memory is used only when your physical memory has been exhausted.  This happens usually either when you have not restarted recently, or when you have too many programs running at the same time.  I suggest you reboot at least once a week and if it continues to happen, a purchase more RAM.

  You can try the following to see if it will get your Windows Media Player in Windows Vista.

  Make sure that Windows Media Player is set as default.
  Go to start. Click default programs. Set default programs. Select Windows Media Player, and then select "Set this program as default". And then click OK.

  First of all, we run System File Checker to see if you have a corrupt file system.

  Click Start
  Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD
  Click on "Run as Administrator"
  At the command prompt, type: sfc/scannow

  This will check for any violation of the integrity and repair any damaged operating system files.

  Reboot your system.

  Rename/Delete the "Windows Media" folder located under %userprofile%\appdata\local\microsoft

  Now, go to Windows Media Player, do a right-click and select "run as Administrator".

  You should now be able to open Windows Media Player on Vista.

  I hope this helps.

  Hello Pacone

  According to Walter, Microsoft Windows Vista comes with Media Player 11. So please could you clarify the application you are using? The version you gave I guess maybe it is Windows Movie Maker.

• is it safe to remove the old windows updates

  Is it safe to remove the old updates in Windows Vista?

  Generally, no.

  You can use the program compcln.exe to remove the Service pack files and to perpetuate a service pack, as described here:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=2592038

  This program is in C:\Windows\System32

  You can uninstall the updates that have been replaced by a later update, but I don't know of an easy way to identify them. I don't think that in doing so, there is a great advantage.

  If you uninstall an update that is still necessary, he will be released the next time that WIndows Update is running.

• Satellite A60-106: How can I remove the old CD/DVD player

  Hello
  I have a Satellite SA60-106 and want to date my DVD/RW X 1 on a 8 X DVD/RW.
  How can I remove the old DVD to replace with a new one.

  Please help if you can email [email protected]

  Hi, Malcolm

  For this model of laptop, it is quite complicated because the STRANGE is from both sides. First you must remove the small screw placed in the Middle near the coverage of memory in the lower corner of your laptop (also near the cooling rack). The STRANGE is also secured with small hook placed under the keyboard.

  At the right place of this small hook is not known but I know that it is placed somewhere under the keyboard. I don't really know what you need to do. Have you already tried to remove the keyboard?

  I have to be honest and it's not so easy to give instructions here because I don't know if you're familiar with the disassembly. I don't want damage you something on your laptop. Small error can ends with a broken plastic cover. Please be careful.

• Windows Media Player closes whenever I open it with the message "Windows Media Player has stopped working"

  Hello

  I have a XC of Aspire Acer-605, i5 with Windows 8 (bought 4 weeks ago)

  When I open Windows Media Player 12, if I play music or not, in less than a minute, a box appears that says:

  "Windows Media Player has stopped working: a problem caused the blocking of the program works correctly." Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

  The only option then is to click on "close the program".

  When I try to listen to music on CyberLink Power Media Player 12. I have the pop box saying:

  "Play.exe stopped working: Please send us this report to help us solve the problem and improve this software."

  The option only two then are "CANCEL" or to type my email and the problem then click on 'send report '. I did the second and nothing heard back.

  XBOX media player works, but I don't want to use it.

  I already scanned with McFee virus and it found nothing. I recently remove a virus from my computer. The problems may have started after that.

  Can you help me to solve my problem?

  After days and days of the trial, an online chat with a technician Microsoft (which was useless) I finally found a suggestion that worked... I had to create a new user account with administrative privileges. Media worked perfectly in this new account! I then spent ages downloading the files from my old account before deleting completely. It took a long time and has been a real pain, but at least it works now :-). Good luck to all. I hope this works for you xx
