• What is the ldiag file in Windows 7? How can I stop Windows write files in this folder?

  Can someone tell me what is the ldiag file in Windows 7?

  Somehow, Windows creates files and writes to this file. It keeps then write files until the entire hard drive is full. In other words, there is no place to save a restore point and no place to open Outlook, etc.

  When this has happened in the past, I had to contact the Microsoft response service and a level 2 technician to erase files. They said, the problem has been "fixed", but he continues to be...

  Do you know what "program" in Windows write files to this folder? I think it's a kind of diagnostic file. I tried the search "help" and the community and have not found anything to answer.

  Well, I hope that he is an expert in the community who can advise me on this. Thank you in advance.

  Thank you for your kindness in answering this question. I worked with technician level 2 Microsoft Office of response on the issue.

  I see that the files are part of the Lenovo system. Somehow, the Lenovo system analysis - triggered by something unknown to me--and wrote a text of 25 to 30 Gigabyte file!  I've identified it as a program of Lenovo, the write file and the program triggered by some unknown parameter. Then, I took the step to stop this program, Lenovo to run and then remove the text files.

  The steps you suggested are 'typical' first response / suggestions that you could do in that first level. However, in this case that they had nothing to do with the real problem.

  I often do a disk cleanup. This program is not clean these text files of the diagnosis of Lenovo.

  I start the computer in safe mode to diagnose problems. Yet once, just for the record, being in safe mode has nothing to do with the question of the Lenovo running program.

  No, there is no error message other than a message about 'disk full '. I ran a small program to see the size of the folder and was able to quickly identify the issue of file ldiag containing two text files, each about 25 gigabytes.

  Once again, thank you for your suggestions, but they were just basic, 'typical' suggestions and really had nothing to do with this specific problem. However, you have correctly identified the ldiag as being a file of Lenovo. Once that technology Tier 2 response office and found out that we were able to "solve" the problem.

  I'll keep the links you sent for reference.

  Thank you for taking the time to answer.

• "You need give the administrator permission to delete this folder?"

  Windows 7. My PC user account shows I am administrator, but it is impossible to delete some files.  Get the message: "' you need give the administrator permission to delete this folder.

  Yes, it is in the free version.  It is in the 'Tools' tab to the right part of the screen.  For best results, you should also get "rkill" (you should never download from bleepingcomputer.com - and ABSOLUTELY no PART ELSEWHERE), which is good to put an end to all background processes that prevent you to delete unwanted files and folders.

  What WLM version do you have?

  Have you tried a repair of WLM?

  Select 'Windows Live Essentials' then follow the "repair" options.

  I have the same problem: my 'deleted items' folder will be empty. I tried the proposed repair and that did not work.

  "The messages that I get when I try to empty folder are first"an unknown error has occurred", the second:"some of the items in the deleted items folder may not be deleted"and the third in the Details tab: UID Store failed.

  My version of WLM is 12.

  I also had this problem.  Nothing would delete from a year and half ago.  Once I read THIS reply from Firedog, I started looking for where the destruction of my devices have been mapped to.  Between my phone, my office and my Kindle, (date of the problem started when I bought my new phone) and delete them all three parameters have been mapped in three different places.  Once I changed that and they were all mapped to the same place, the problem has been SOLVED!  Thank you, thank you, thank you!

  Hi SRINIVASAK KANNAN,

  One of the most important changes between previous versions of Windows and Windows Vista has been a passage from a file INF described OS to modularity.  A component of Windows is one or more binaries, a catalog file and an XML file that describes all the things on the way in which the files must be installed. Files must have keys associated with registry and services for the kind security permissions.  Components are grouped into logical units, and these units are used to build the different editions of Windows.

  Help, please

  Hi garykholden,

  Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers.

  Windows 7 is Windows Media Player default 12. You can cross fade music in Windows Media Player 12 as well.

  Press the Alt key to display the menu bar, then go to view menu to select improvements in the menu dropdown. The next option to highlight are:

  · Fade-chained volume and auto leveling.

  Another method to display enhancements menu in WMP12 is to click on the list on the upper right to display the playlist, and then click the button at the end of the Playlistpane and then go to enhancements menu item to display all the options available.
