  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.
  3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
  4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
  5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

  You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

  Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

  -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
  -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
  -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
  -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
  -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
  -Click OK.
  -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
  -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

• Error message: cannot access Windows Installer during the installation of Java SDK

  Original title: How To Install Windows Installer?

  OK, so I came to my laptop to do a writing in Word. Later, I tried to install the Java Development Kit, but he said something, of not being able to access Windows Installer. I ignored it and went to download a registry cleaner program to try to solve, but he also said "cannot access Windows Installer". Undertook research to install across the entire hard drive and the Windows registry and I found nothing. Not even the key MSIServer was there. I went to the Services and it was not there either. I opened my journal program, and he said that Microsoft Windows Installer has been deleted from the hard drive. The newspaper program that I use is open source and theres no script that writes, deletes, or replaces all files! So all I can do now is to install again, so I went to the Microsoft Download page: Windows Installer but when I tried to download mine)

• XP PRO SP3 - cannot access windows updates

  Currently, I have restored to the factory setting on a laptop computer windows XP Professional and was able to download and install service pack 3. I also downloaded Explorer 8 - he kept if overwrite then I uninstalled and am on Explorer 7. Now, I can not access windows updates. I get the site and the status says done but I have an empty window. I also have problems with other programs - it seem to not be able to access a file that is on my computer. I was hoping that longer running updates could fix my problem. Help, please

  I would recommend from square one again. This time, do exactly as follows:

  Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows.  Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) will NOT fix it!

  HOW to do a clean install of Windows XP: see method 1 and http://michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html#steps in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/978307

  Once installed the clean, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of everything on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or a local network (i.e. other computers) and before using a USB or SD card that is not brand new, or has not been freshly formattedotherwise:
