Clean, defrag and shrink

• Keep a clean, safe and very efficient machine...

  Keeping a clean and safe system is equivalent to good performance. How do you do that? There are several things you should do to ensure the best possibility to keep a clean, safe and very efficient machine:

  (1) install anti-malware software

  • There are a few very good available 'Free' programs that are fully automated and will help keep your system protected against malicious software. Some of them are listed here... .click on the link "Free Security Software links Index", then click on the link "Anti-virus".

  (2) safe online practice

  • "" Safe surfing"you really thinking very little. Using common sense can help here. Avoid unscrupulous websites. The "Web Of Trust" help you identify many of those if you CAN avoid the.

  (3) maintenance

  • Maintain your system by performing a disk cleanup and defragmentation on a regular basis.

  Maintenance requires some planning. Your system accumulates debris on the web. "Debris", in the sense that many of these files are not necessary keep.

  Get rid of this debris is a simple process. Microsoft Windows users will find the free utilities provided by Microsoft, in all "platforms", are very useful in helping users keep their systems. Those who are, disk cleanup and Disk Defragmenter. "You can find these tools by going to.
  All Programs--> Accessories--> System Tools

  .. the are friendly and easy to use. However, I would like to clear up some confusion regarding the utility "Defragmenter". Many users will neglect a defragmentation of the system according to the results of analysis. I would like to address the:
  "You don't need to defragment this volume."
  .. .message referring to analysis of defragmentation.

  You see, when Microsoft wrote that the utility for the Windows platform, there are two targets to consider. Those who are home and business users. Two very large markets, with very different "needs". Effort and the goal was to reach a middle ground by estimating the thresholds which would continue to work well for both customer bases without causing performance issues significant for no more, if one or the other duty live of these thresholds.

  If I explained that well, then you might understand that the 'threshold' Microsoft chose for defragmentation utility will report either customer when fragmentation reached... Let's say it's about 20% (I don't really know WHAT it is, but I don't know it's wide enough) and anything under that will be reported as:
  "You don't need to defragment this volume."

  All this means, really, is that you can delay a defragmentation when an analysis of the analysis returns such a message... but that certainly does not mean that you shouldn't defrag.

  As a general rule, I perform a full system defrag when my file fragmentation is over 3%. For me, it's about twice a week. For you, let's say they occur once a month. I don't know, only you, but you have to keep an eye on her (make ita habit) and see how long it takes to know your fragmentation at this level. It can vary greatly, because it depends on the number of files you create or delete and what type of applications that you run in a "normal" user session

  E-mail, for example, is an application (if native or not) that causes the creation and deletion of files on the hard drive. If you use an online email client, think to "from the browser's cache" with regard to the number of emails downloaded and deleted. These are all files that are fragmented, they are on the hard disk, or make up the garbage in the browser cache, makes no difference... it's all the disk space again regardless of how you think of it.

  Remember, even if you have your browser empty the temporary files when you close the value, the size of this file "dump" can waver, in order to clear the cache at the closing, the browser did perform better than the next browser session but does nothing to appease the disk fragmentation.

  You see, if you do this, the system works well on each of its sessions.

  In summary, install anti-virus software, surf safe practice and maintain your computer. Don't forget to clean the disc first, then perform the defragmentation otherwise you will sort the waste so that the free space fragmented and files.

  Keep in mind these principles and your system will perform well give you years of enjoyable computing.

  Great tips! Thanks for sharing.

  Hello

  1. do you use third-party tools to perform a defrag?

  If you use not any third-party tool to perform a defrag, then I suggest you check for the issue in the clean boot state.

  From your computer by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs so that you can determine if a background program is interfering with your game or program. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot".

• A few questions about the defrag and hard space as I get a notification saying my hard disk space became full of drive

  I have problems with my hard drive. I got a notification saying that my hard disk space became full. So I cleaned a lot of programs and files of the irrational. I've freed almost half of it. Then I had another notification a few days later and realized that I had less than 1 GB of free space on my hard drive 600 g. I cleaned more and went to defragment my disk. It is set on a calendar, but I don't think that he has never been defragmented. He ran for about 2.5 days until the cord is unplugged and the battery is dead at 91% consolidated. Do I have to start again and wait again 2.5 days before I little hard drive space open? Or progress in the early days of 2.5 will remain défragmentée? In addition, defrag and do a disk cleanup will stop my hard drive to fill almost instantly after deleting and uninstalling programs? I'm running out of things to remove and I am a full-time student full and really need a computer in operation, please help!

  Defragmentation is complete, will continue from the left point last time. Therefore, if you raise, he will continue that 91 percent (of course, it will start from 0%, but the scan will go up that 91% and continue with the rest of the space on the hard disk, that 91% of surface of the hard drive has been defragmented already).

  Yes, you can delete all the files inside the Temp folder. TEMP folder is a temporary storage place used by some programs to temporarily store the files/folders. Some programs remove the files/folders after working, but some retain them, causing space problems.

  You can use disk cleanup, on occasion, to delete unnecessary files from the hard drive.

  Registry cleaning programs are all snake oil. Cleaning of the

  The risk of a serious problem caused by a registry cleaner by mistake

  Let me stress that neither me nor anyone else who warns the

  problems. If they have always caused problems, they would disappear from
  the market almost immediately. Many people have used a registry
  cleaner and never had a problem with it.

  The problem with a registry cleaner is that it carries with it
  the risk of a significant problem. And since there is no
  benefits of using a registry cleaner, running that risk is a very bad

• Did someone knows a way I can delete the fonts of all WIN XP and then download a CLEAN game and validated?

  Did someone knows a way I can delete the fonts of all WIN XP and then download a CLEAN game and validated?

  Validater fonts Microsoft can manage only a small subset at a time without crashing, and I prefer nuke batch and start over.
  Win XP Pro SP3, Office 2003 PRO.
  And relocation of the disk / repair / restoration clean them...

  What is the problem with your fonts?

  I have very few problems of fonts in my notes...

  I took a this auditor of fonts and I don't know what that is supposed to do, but it takes too much time everything he does, so I just stopped after several minutes while it digested 2 files.   It also seems to be unsupported.

  I compressed to the top of my fonts folder and put it on my SkyDrive, but I don't know too much about the operation of the fonts with XP and think that they must be "installed" by clicking on the file and choose to install the fonts.

  I have NO idea if this zipped upward file will help you or not, but I would be sure to make a copy of what you have before overwriting things.  If things go haywire, I might have to leave town for a few days until things cool off.

  One thing is for sure... we don't know even what it is, or anything on your system.  It is because the MS Answers forum ask all system information when a new question is requested (which is doubly certain).

  I downloaded a copy of my zipped folder fonts on my SkyDrive (everyone has a SkyDrive for file sharing).

  Here is the link to my SkyDrive and you can get the file you need it (fonts.zip).

  http://CID-6a7e789cab1d6f39.SkyDrive.live.com/redir.aspx?RESID=6A7E789CAB1D6F39! 311

  When you see the files available for download, you will not see the file extension (.exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip etc), but when download you them they will have the right extension.

  When you download the file (especially if you use Internet Explorer), when you get a chance to save the file, it cannot save the file with an extension (for example, .exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip) then you will need to manually add the extension appropriate to the file when you download the file before you save it.

  You can download the file without the extension, and then rename the file to add the appropriate extension.

• I used chkdsk after trying to do a defrag and send a message that there was an error on the disc.

  original title: computer Dead after chkdsk

  I used chkdsk after trying to do a defrag and send a message that there was an error on the disc.  Asked me to use chkdsk after a statup as a volume is in use.  I did it but when I went through the suite, the computer was completely dead.  I think I gave the wrong settings of the chkdsk command.  How can I get my computer operational again?  I use Windows XP

  What do you mean by 'completely off '?  Is - literal?  All in all, nothing happens when you restart the computer?  No noise?  No fans? No beeps?  No video, no BIOS or POST information appear?

  I tried the clean boot and now the hard drive works simply and screen went black. The mouse still moves around the screen without any outher work keys? That is what it is?

  Hello

  You will need to reverse the clean boot, as it is either incidental compared to
  the real cause of the problem. What, where you try to fix initially using the cleanboot?

  You can access Mode safe? Repeatedly press F8 as you start? If so you can try the configuration - control panel
  The Device Manager - graphics card - Double click on - driver tab - click the driver UPDATE - then
  Right click on the device and UNINSTALL - REBOOT.

  Another method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure) is
  CTRL + ALT + DEL and the processes tab find EXPLORER.exe and COMPLETE the PROCESS on this subject - and then
  on the Applications tab - lower right - new task - type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is reached
  by tapping F8 as you start several times.

  First check this thread in case it is simple and if not to come back to this thread.

  Black screen problems are extremely difficult to repair and all patch is usually on a base hit or miss.
  That there is no information on a black screen as it is on a blue screen just adds to the
  Difficulty. Often using a restore point or Startup Repair will have no effect. You can try a
  Google to see the proposed repairs, whom some have worked however these cover a wide
