    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 Update cannot check the updates because of the error code 80070002.

    Hi, I have a 64-bit Windows Vista, Microsoft Service Pack 1.

    My Windows Update stops errors whenever I have trying to update. This has happened for a while now, maybe 4-5 months? However, since there is no reason that I needed to update, I just let go.

    Then I realized that because of this error, my iTunes won't work; during installation, there is an error with the same numbers: 80070002. I really need to use iTunes, and it won't work.

    I checked the system for errors and renamed, but it has not fixed no problem.

    Please, how can I solve this problem?

    Hi xgbearfsho,

    If you receive the error Windows Update 80070002 of updates, you must remove the temporary files to update that Windows uses to identify updates for your computer. To remove temporary files, stop the Windows Update service, delete the temporary update files, restart the Windows Update service and then try to check for Windows updates again.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/Windows-Update-Error-80070002

  • 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:

    NB: No matter what Norton or McAfee free trial which is preinstalled on the computer when you bought will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. You MUST uninstall the trial for free and download/run the appropriate removal tool before installing updates, Service Packs Windows or IE upgrades and before installing your new anti-virus application (which will require WinXP SP3 must be installed).

    You can't have the Norton and McAfee. XP Antivirus is malware. It is not a genuine anti-virus. It's a scam. You have a lot of work in front of you to remove the malicious software. I suggest that you scan your computer with Malwarebytes. Follow instructions on the link below.

  • Cannot access Windows 7 PC through the network, but Windows 7 PC can access XP PC

    When you try to set up the folder sharing for 2 computers, his feel like I can go only in one direction.
    I have a computer that is running Windows 7, and the other is Windows XP. They are both connected by a router with ethernet cables.
    I can access shared files and folders on the XP computer, but when I try to access the Windows 7 PC it gives an error message
     
    "Logon failure: user account restriction." The possible reasons are blank passwords not allowed, restrictions of time or a logon policy"
    When I go to 'Network' on my XP computer, I can see the name of the other, I just can't access.
