  Information on defragmentation;

  The Vista defrag works quietly in the background without intervention on your part

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/942092

  In Windows Vista, there are a lot of improvements in the defrag engine and handling of fragmentation. By default, Windows Vista uses Task Scheduler to automatically keep the defragmented hard drive. This Automatic defragmentation does not affect the performance of the Windows Vista operating system...

  If you want to use a much better defragmentation program which is free and where you can see the results, I suggest this one:

• I started to run Disk Defragmenter on my laptop with Windows Vista to 7:45 last night. She is still ongoing at 10:55 the next day. That is what it is? I can't believe that it takes more than 12 hours to defragment a hard drive.

  Defragmenter

  Hi Augie,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

  1. you run defrag disk for the first time?

  Disk Defragmenter is a tool that rearranges the data on your hard drive and brings together fragmented files so that your computer can run more efficiently. We must keep in mind that the Disk Defragmenter uses disk access low priority and processor so that it is not influence your current running programs. This automatically translates a slower process. Disk defragmentation can take a long time if you run it for the first time and also depend on the space of hard disk and available data. If may take up to 15-16 hours, depending on the data and the bad clusters on the hard drive.

  Try the suggested methods.

  Method 1

  If you want to reduce the number of unnecessary files on your hard disk to free up disk space and help your computer run faster, use disk cleanup. It removes temporary files, empty the Recycle Bin, and removes a variety of file system and other items that you no longer need.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/delete-files-using-disk-cleanup

  Method 2

  You can run a disk scan command to remove bad sectors on the hard drive, then run Disk Defragmenter.

  1. open the computer by clicking the Start button, click computer.

  2. right click on the hard drive you want to check, and then click Properties.

  3. click on the sur l' onglet tab Tools and then, under error-checking, click check now.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  To automatically repair problems with files and folders that detects the scanning, select automatically fix file system errors. Otherwise, the disk check will simply report a problem, but not to fix them.

  To perform a full disk check, select search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors. This scan is trying to find and repair physical errors on the hard drive itself, and it may take much longer to complete.

  To check for errors file and the physical errors, select automatically fix file system errors and search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.

  4. click on Start.

  Depending on the size of your hard disk, this may take several minutes. For best results, do not use your computer for any other tasks while it checks errors.

• Run Disk Defragmenter has released more than 30 GB of free space!

  I'm not used to run Disk Defragmenter Windows very often, but in recent weeks I have been through the very large import of my cd collection process on iTunes. My 'C' drive has a capacity of 222GB and I was at 9.68 GB of free space. I ran WDD but after 18 hours, he had still not finished! So I decided to cancel defragmentation, and after checking my 'C' drive, I found to my great astonishment that I now had 42.8 GB of free space! Then, I downloaded the DiskDefrag Auslogics free and running. She performed in a few minutes and showed the Windows defragmentation had done most of the work but for some reason any had not finished. Anyone know why?

  I have decided to disabled Windows Defrag and will use in the future, the Auslogics version he gives information about the status of the defragmentation and seems to be much more effective and faster.

  However, I am very surprised by the amount of free space that freed the defragmentation process. I searched on various forums of pc and other posters have said the complete opposite to my own experience. The common consensus seems to be that defraging reduces the amount of free space on a drive rather than increase it!

  There also seems to be a difference of opinion on the amount of free space should be left on a hard drive to allow the computer to function effectively. I was a little more than 4% before I defragmented but I saw messages advising that we should let betweeen 10% and up to 50% (which seems to me to be silly!)

  I would be grateful for any help anyone can give me, in particular, why the defragmentation released (in my case) as much free space.

  A common mistake in logic. You assume that two things are related, because they are close in time.

  Defrag does not change the amount of disk space. It only increases or decreases the free space or used.

  Windows defragmentation runs every three days and optimizes the program and load the system boot. This is not controllable. It is also not a defragmentation of data file.

  Using another Defragmenter will fight with Windows.

  NTFS (and FAT32) resist fragmentation. Most fragmented files are log files and will fragment 1 second after defragmentation.

  Windows only writes files where there are a lot of space to write prevention of fragmentation. Do not fragment the files that do not change. Disk cache makes the fragmentation irrelevent.

  Any recommendation on the free space are based on the best estimate on the way an average person uses a computer. Lack of free space does not work computer until it has zero. However, most people like to save their work and some Windows watchdog is going spastic, just before that you can't do anything.

  As to why you have noticed a change in the use of the disc.

  1. system restore - this could be it.

  2 disk Cleanup - it will take place in itself is space is extremely low

  3 log files are created, deleted, written, etc.

  4. Windows automatically repairs physical disk errors. If defrag was having problems, you can check there is no car repair files.

  It's a way see what may have disk operations occurred.

  Start - All Programs - Accessories - right on command prompt and choose run as administrator. Type (or copy and paste by clicking in the command prompt window and choose Paste).

   

  change c:\bootex.log

   

  What is this file exist with something in it?

   

  The following commands query the event logs.

• Satellite M70-360: CEekey.eke can not run because its the missing dll

  I accidently deleted the ekecioctl.dll and now whenever I start my laptop (Satellite M70-360) I get an error message saying that CEekey.eke can not run because its the missing dll. Anyone know where I can download the dll?

  Thank you

  Hello

  The CEekey.exe seems to be part of the Toshiba E - key utility.
  Therefore, you should try to reinstall this utility to obtain the keys working again.

  Another clue; have you tried to restore the operating system to the early time point?
  XP supports the System Restore tool. You can easily put the BONE at an early stage and the E key should work again I hope ;)

• Is it true that I can not run more than 60 Hz on screen?

  Is it true that I can not run more than 60 Hz in 640 x 480 on my laptop with nvidia go 7600? or is there a driver for my lcd screen...?

  Why do you want to change the screen on the TFT screen refresh rate?
  LCD monitors do not suffer the same problems as their predecessors of the TRM and the refresh rate does not simply mean the same thing. LCD or TFT monitors will provide excellent quality and resolution at 60 Hz.

  Hi, amel.

  Let's first try the easy solution.  ClickStart, type compatibility in the research field, and click the enter key. This will bring up the resolution of the problems of compatibility of programs.  Click Next and it make a quick check on your machine.  It will ask you to Select the program that you are having problems with, and then click Next.  Clicktroubleshoot program,then check the box forthe program worked in earlier versions of Windows...  Windows XP (Service Pack 2)-click, then click on Next. Click on the box forstart the program. He will try to open the program as if you were using XP. Once the program is trying to open, click onNext. Now it will ask if it worked for you.  If so, click onYes, save these settings for this program. If you clicked Yes, every time that you open the program now he opens as if it was running under XP.  That if it worked!

  Sometimes this method does not work.  For these cases, there is a new feature called XP Mode, which will install a virtual machine before you run your program in.  This feature is available in the professional versions, full and Enterprise edition. It is not too hard to get set up. It actually installs a copy of Windows XP before you run your program in.   Here's a Microsoft article on how to get it set up: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/.  XP mode now works even if you do not have the chip installed for hardware-assisted virtualization technology.

  Hope this helps,

• Why you can not run portable applications on RT?

  Why you can not run portable applications on RT?

  Nothing is installed on the system. That's all, flash USB, a folder or drive.
  You don't have to install anything. So why can not run portable applications on RT?

  I know exactly what is a portable application. It requires no additional drivers installed or libraries to run on a system, if one is required that they are either built into the executable and extracted the runtime or are included in the same location as the executable and are referenced from this location.

  No portable application is not somehow the operating system to display the current status, error messages or generate logs for its operation. If it cannot accept input during its operation or generate a form of output it has no function. This is the basic description of a program to have one or the other or both.

  When you double-click an executable file is Windows (if it's the operating system) giving you the ability to open its location, see the executable file in order to select and issue the command to run. It's Windows that then loads this program in memory to run. If necessary, Windows that displays the dialog box to provide any input and display results or error messages generated by the program. If the result is a log file that it is Windows that allows access to the drive to create the file and the result is an error state in Windows that stores the status of the error, then it can be interpreted by another program. If the output is to change the status of the computer in a way, it's Windows that gives access to this device or component. The Hardware Abstraction Layer allows access to the hardware itself if necessary by a program and even that is a part of Windows.

  So I know what a laptop program is, more important still, I also know what is Windows.

  Hi Tom,

  the procedure to change the password for the listener of glassfish server hosting APEX

  ... more like a topic related to GlassFish for me. I guess you will get the best answers to these questions in a GlassFish related forum...

  For what it's worth, I'll try my best even when:

  Can not run the program "keytool": java.io.IOException: error = 2, no such file or directory

  This seems to be a pretty clear error message: keytool , which probably is used to manage keys for users of GlassFish, was not found. This means, you are either running on an operating system that is not officially certified for GlassFish, or you GlassFish has not been configured correctly.
  You have run

  GlassFish@ahost:/opt/glassfish3/GlassFish/Domains/mydom01/config > which java
  / usr/bin/Java

  ... which means that you assume your GlassFish runs without being set JAVA_HOME. If that's true, I'm install you GlassFish correctly from this setting.
  Anyway, you have also discovered that

  keytool could be found in/usr/java/latest/bin/keytool.

  ... that is not + / usr / bin + and probably not in the way of global search of the user on whose behalf your GlassFish is running. Then, you can either create a link [*] for c++ / usr/bin/keytool + do (finally) to + / usr/java/more late/bin/keytool +, or you setup JAVA_HOME to be + / usr/java/last +.
  [*] Note that depending on your operating system, there may be more than one stage of indirection, for example my Ubuntu a + / usr/bin/java + pointing on + / etc/alternatives/java + which points on + / usr/lib/jvm/java-6-Sun/jre/bin/java + where + / usr/lib/jvm/java-6-Sun / + points to the directory containing the real JDK to use. You will probably find something like this on your system. My Ubuntu box has a link for + / usr/bin/keytool +, so I get when running "what keytool.

  We need to have that in the path? There is no requirement in the installation guide for that, nor the RPM installation has adjusted the path system accordingly.

  Again, this is not a forum of GlassFish.

  I hope my advice helps you solve your problem. If they are not, please choose the appropriate forum for your next post on this topic. And I guess, giving additional information about your OS and how you manage your JDK (and which version you use) help people here to help you.

  Thank you

• I am unable to run Disk Defragmenter.

  When I try to defragment I get an error message that says: "cannot run because Disk Defragmenter scheduled Chkdsk /f..  If please run Chkdsk and try again. "I tried to run Chkdsk, nothing helps.  Can anyone help?

  It's a shame that we don't know anything about your system, or you would be probably done now (it's not your fault), so the first response to a new problem is a bunch of questions.

  Provide information on your system, the better you can:

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

  The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

  You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

  What usually ends up happening, is that you will need run your chkdsk/r from the XP Recovery Console.  That's the short answer.

  If you do not have a bootable XP installation CD authentic where you can boot into the Recovery Console, you can create a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console and run chkdsk /r from there (no media XP required).

  On your question (simple copy/paste for me and a lot to read, but you will understand things when you're done and prevents you from losing time trying ideas that will not work):

  When you try to defragment a volume of that Disk Defragmenter reports:

  Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on the volume: (c :))
   
  Please run Chkdsk /f.

  This means that the volume that you want to defragment was marked 'dirty' XP.  This is not necessarily all of the data has been lost on the volume, it simply means that XP thinks that the volume should be checked to find errors because of something that happened before.

  You won't be able to defragment the volume until the dirty bit has been removed.

  This does not mean that a disk check is scheduled to run, and you can't cancel what needs to happen in this case because this isn't the problem.

  Also the dirty bit is not set on a volume, you can still run a disk defrag with a record of date of arrival in the meantime (try).

  Entry of commands to reset or erase a disc awaiting review is therefore a waste of time - that is not the problem.

  A volume can be marked as dirty, if the system underwent a power interruption (power failure, pulling plug, removing the battery, button / stop), abandoned restart or an abnormal termination.  One of these events?

  When XP starts, it automatically checks the bit of impurity on each volume.  You can also tell XP to ignore the bit of impurity on any volume, but this probably isn't a good idea in case there is a real problem that needs to be fixed.  If you have a hard drive where the dirty bit will not disappear, you can tell XP not to check.

  If the starting XP detects that the volume is dirty, it will be automatically run the check disk with error correction (chkdsk/r) and try to fix the problems detected.

  If the chkdsk command succeeds, it clears the dirty bit, and then you can defragment the volume.

  You can check the status of your bit of impurity from a command prompt window.

  To do this, click Start, run and enter in the box:

  cmd

  Click OK to open a command prompt window.

  For example, to query the bit of impurity on drive C, type:

  fsutil dirty query C:

  The sample output:
  Volume c is dirty
  Volume C: is dirty

  You cannot use fsutil or chkntfs from a command prompt to delete the bit of impurity on a volume.

  The only thing that can clear the bit of impurity on a volume is chkdsk /r (or chkdsk/p).  You could tell XP not to check the bit of impurity on a volume where the dirty bit does not erase, but this probably isn't a good idea since there is some sort of problem on the volume.

  You also won't solve this problem by editing your registry database - not where is the problem.

  Once a volume is marked as dirty, the only way to clear the dirty bit is to run "chkdsk/r" or "chkdsk/p" when the volume is not in use.  The only way a volume can not be used while XP is just starting to load or from the XP Recovery Console.

  If XP will not run chkdsk correctly when your system restarts or the dirty bit will not erase as it should, you need to look in the Event Viewer log chkdsk and see what is happening and fix it.

  If XP will not always clear the dirty bit, you need to run chkdsk/r of the XP Recovery Console so you can look and see what works and run it again until it works.  If your hard drive fails, you may never be able to clear the dirty bit, in this case, you can also say XP never check the afflicted volume dirty bit.

  Saying XP not to check the bit of impurity on a volume would be risky behavior because there would always be some kind of problem with your hard drive.

  You can manually program the disk with error correction check to run at the next reboot of the system, but if the dirty bit has been set, XP should run check disk automatically with error correction during the next reboot.

  This is usually the case that after a reboot, the problems will be resolved since XP will automatically run check disk on the Sales volumes when it restarts.  If you do not check that the chkdsk results of newspapers after his execution on a restart, you will never know what problems are corrected or remain.

  When you choose to run the check disk with error correction in the Tools menu of disk properties, you will be prompted with a message similar to the following:

  The disk check cannot be performed because the disk check utility needs exclusive access to some Windows files on the disk
  .
  These files can be access only by restarting Windows.  You want to schedule the disk check to occur the next time that you restart Windows?

  Answer Yes, if you want to schedule the check disk on the next reboot of Windows.

  When you choose to run the check disk with error correction in the command prompt window, you will be prompted with a message similar to the following:

  The type of the file system is NTFS.
  Cannot lock the current drive.

  Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process.  You want to schedule this volume to be
  check the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)

  Answer Yes, if you want to schedule the check disk on the next reboot of Windows.

  When XP restarts, let the disc over to check and correct the problems, he could find.  Do not interrupt the disk check.  It can take a long time (hours or days) to complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive light flashes, it's something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

  Is there a problem with the chkdsk command that works on reboot and it doesn't really seem to do something (too fast) or not to clear the dirty bit (check the dirty bit), the command chkdsk which took to restart results in the Event Viewer Application log.  Look there to see what happened.

  When chkdsk runs automatically reboot, you may wonder where to find the results.  The results appear in the Event Viewer Application log.

  You will need to get there after the disk check performed and XP has finished loading for the results and all the problems.

  To view the logs in Event Viewer, click Start, settings, Control Panel, administrative tools, event viewer.

  A shortcut to the event viewer is to click on start, run and enter in the box:

  %SystemRoot%\system32\eventvwr.msc

  Click OK to launch the event viewer.

  Look in the Application log for a proposed Winlogon event, something like this successful race:

  Event type: Information
  Event source: Winlogon
  Event category: no
  Event ID: 1001
  Description:

  Checking file system on C:

  The type of the file system is NTFS.

  A disk check has been programmed.

  Windows will now check the disk.
  39070048 KB total disk space.
  25151976 KB in 78653 files.
  48256 KB in 10264 index.
  0 KB in bad sectors.
  237080 KB in use by the system.
  65536 KB occupied by the log file.
  13632736 KB available on disk.

  Windows has finished checking your disk.

  If you see errors - same errors that are corrected, you must run the disk checking with correction of error again (chkdsk/r) until you see no error.  You should have no errors.

  If you need help interpreting your event, post it here for analysis.

  If you double-click on an event, it will open a window of properties with more information.  On the right are black up and down arrow keys to scroll through the open events. The third button that looks like two overlapping pages is used to copy the details of the event in your Windows Clipboard.

  When you find an interesting event that occurred at the time of your question, click on the third button at the top and arrows to copy the details and then you can paste the details (right click, paste or CTRL-V) the text in detail here for analysis.  Remove all personal information from your information after you paste If you are forced to do so.

  If the chkdsk command that runs on every reboot XP does not clear the dirty bit, you must run chkdsk/r from the XP Recovery Console and see if that will clear things upward.  It is a good idea because you can watch chkdsk as it works and see the results on your screen instead of looking in the event viewer connects or wondering what happened (she also just 'feels' better when we see that it works).

  If you have no authentic XP bootable installation CD to boot into the XP Recovery Console, you can create a CD bootable XP (no XP media required) Recovery Console, and then run chkdsk /r manually.

  Need instructions on how to create a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console to run chkdsk/r manually?
