Big problem to defragment my disk (C).

I am running Windows XP with Service Pack 3.  Recently - six months to a year - I got no chance in the defragmentation of disk drive (C).  No problem my other readers, just the disk (C) defragmentation.  I get a message 'DISK DEFRAGMENTER has detected that Chdsk is expected to run on the volume (C), please run Chdsk/f'.  I do this, and a new message comes up saying that "Windows cannot find ' Chdsk/f' research."
I do this little dog sitting down, looking, waiting, waving its tail, excavations, expectations, and then another message pop ups saying that Windows could not find what I was looking for.

Help, please.

  • Big problem with Windows XP, IE8

    I have a big problem with windows xp. Many things do not work as they had passed him. For example the personal setting are not recalled from session to session. IE 8 does not funtion properly (icons on the desktop are re-arraged, toolbars cannot be deleted or I'm unable to load pages from the internet). Programs do not work, the files will not open. When I look at my hard C disk folders and files are hidden.

    Recently, IE has been upgraded to IE8 and I installed Norton 360 but I don't mean that they caused the problem. However, whenever the Norton scan executes a "error 8 506 421" stands up and says me that I have to uninstall and re install Norton.» But I lost the ADMIN privileges so I am not able to uninstall or go back to a restore point.

    I can't go in safe mode. Pressing F8 takes me to the quick screen C not the windows safe mode screen. I can't go in safe BOOT mode. INI or the other.

    If I switch to another user, everything seems fine but I don't have ADMIN privileges with this user to be able to make changes.

    Is this a problem with norton? IE8? A virus?

    Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance,

    Lost without a computer

    It sounds like you have a corrupted for your user to administrator user profile.

    You may be able to recover using System Restore to restore to a point in time before your problem.  Based on the F8 key, you bring in a command prompt window, try to start restoring the system to the command prompt by using the following procedure:

    "How to start the System Restore tool by using the option of safe mode with prompt theCommand in Windows XP"

    <>https://support.Microsoft.com/kb/304449/en-us >

    If this does not work, you can still be able to recover by performing a check disk to your command prompt window operation (after that you press the F8 key).  Enter the following command:

    CHKDSK c: /R

    If you are in the Recovery Console, it can simply begin, or you may need to restart before it will start.  Corrupt profiles are most often caused by the Corruption of system files, so a chkdsk operation should be performed little matter how you end up recovery.  Note that this can take a few hours to run.

  • Big problems!

    Twelve hours in thought and I I could post a question and see if anyone could help. Looks like I've got a classic problem, but the classic fix doesn't seem to work. CID mismatch error. I've corrected the only divergence, but my always won VM would start.

    Cannot open disk ' / vmfs/volumes/4e09e27a-1efbddf1-bdad-f46d040fe65a/ThunderDC02/ThunderDC02-000004.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.
    The virtual disk parent has changed since the child was created. The content of the virtual disk ID parent does not match the ID of parent for children's content

    I lived the vmdk files over and over and over and the CIDs all match (only one was out of whack at first). (attached)

    It woudn't be a big problem if it wasn't the only domain controller work and I had not deleted my snapshots trying to achieve something else. Journal of the joint. Hope someone can help out me

    I just stupmled through "...". "past it inflate. Does that mean that the virtual didk was thin provisioned!

    In any case, we will try to solve this problem (it can worsen in any case).

    • Right-click of the virtual machine in the inventory of the ESXi host and select "remove from inventory.
    • From the command line run:
      CD/vmfs/volumes/4e09e27a-1efbddf1-bdad-f46d040fe65a/ThunderDC02
      DD if = ThunderDC02 - flat hard = ThunderDC02-Clone - flat hard bs = 1048576 count = 40960
      This will copy the first 40 GB of the virtual disk resized in a new file (ThunderDC02-Clone - flat hard).
    • Once finished, unzip it and upload the files attached on the data store. These files will contain the file .vmx (pointing to 000006.vmdk) as well as the fixed instant string).
    • Right-click on the .vmx file and select "add to the inventory.
    • Create a new snapshot (optional)
    • Turn on the virtual machine

    If your virtual machine works as expected, run 'Delete All' in the Snapshot Manager and be patient. Due to large snapshots, merge the data in the basic disk can take a long time (maybe a few hours, depending on your speed of drive).

  • big problems after the installation of Yosemite (10.10.2) with Photoshop CS6... The program crashes - last time 10 times during my working session... wacomtable does not work... It's slow... and receive errors on the graphics card... It s a terror to work

    big problems after the installation of Yosemite (10.10.2) with Photoshop CS6... The program crashes - last time 10 times during my working session... wacomtable does not work... It's slow... and receive errors on the graphics card... It s a terror to work with my beloved Photoshop!

    Yosemite upgrade very often damage existing Photoshop.  I thank Apple for that.

    You must uninstall and reinstall Photoshop, then apply all the updates of Photoshop from scratch.

    But first, give us details about your configuration:

    STANDARD TEXT:

    Note that it is standard text.

    If you give complete and detailed information on your configuration and the issue,

    as your platform (Mac or Win),.

    accurate versions of your operating system, Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and the bridge.

    your settings in Photoshop > Preferences > performance

    the type of file you were working.

    specifications of the machine, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available disk space, video card specifications, including total VRAM installed.

    What troubleshooting steps you have taken so far

    what you receive, error messages

    If problems of opening raw files also the exact camera brand and model that generated

    If you experience problems printing, specify the exact brand and model of your printer, the size of the paper, the dimensions of the image in pixels (so many pixels wide by pixels high). If going through a TEAR, specify that too.

    A capture of your settings, or the screen image could be very useful also,

    etc.,.
