• My C drive in its entirety. Out of 116 GB only 2.5 GB is free. The computer has become slow. How to increase the memory...

  C diving shows red color. I deleted some programs but it is not very effective. Many updates of 2011 are also theire to the program. It's because of the backup of files. I have the space on drive D and E. How can I increase the space on the C drive.

  Hi Laxman,

  Thanks for posting the question on Microsoft Community Forums.

  Looks like you need to free up space in the C drive that the volume is full.

  1. have you upgraded your operating system, or it came pre-installed with Windows 7?

  2. What is the brand and model of the computer?

  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.

  Use the disk cleanup utility

  I suggest you run the disk cleanup utility a delete all unnecessary removal first and then check if the issuepersists.

• Computer has been slow to start, Blue Screen of Death appears and then it restarts.

  Original title: Restart the computer

  Hello

  My old Compaq desktop computer has been slow to start in the morning and recently when I went to turn it on, it got stuck on the boot sequence, and it restarts just after the initial start-up. He never Windows logo or the login screen. I tried to use recovery disks of Lenovo's laptop of my husband as an attempt to get something to work on, but nothing helps, my computer continues to restart loop way. My daughter has tried to do something with the BIOS setting, which did not affect the issue. Rather than restart suddenly, the blue screen of death appears and then it restarts.

  Any help?

  Hello

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD (sale at retail or OEM integrators), which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  Sites Web has become slower over ssl when we activated the stack ipv6 on the XP machine.

  The PC connects to internet IPv4 and ssl vpn is established on the ipv4 internet. When we uninstall ipv6 stack it becomes okay.

• Firefox has becomes slow and unresponsive after that I tried to install the addons (not installed)?

  I recently format my computer and reinstall windows 7, since it was the only way I know of to solve the problem with Firefox (I already had this problem too). I download the latest version of firefox 33.0.2 and install it. This version was super fast. But becomes slow and unresponsive when I tried to install the Add-ons. I visited the official site of firefox and searching for addons, when I tried to install addons, Firefox crashed. Therefore, it has becomes quite slow and cannot restore previous sessions. Even to type my email address, it takes more than 5 minutes and reacts more frequently (after typing each letter).
  I want to know if this is due to some viruses, or this version of firefox is not "stable".

  Hey there,

  We are sorry to hear that Firefox crashes. To better help you, please follow the steps below to provide us with crash IDs to help us learn more about your accident.

  1. Enter Subject: hangs in the Firefox address bar and press ENTER. A list of submitted Crash reports will appear, similar to the one shown below.
  2. Copy the 5 most recent report ID begins with bp - and then back to your forum question but that stick in the box of "Post a response. (Please do not take a screenshot of your plant, just copy and paste the ID image below is just an example of what your Firefox screen should look like)

  

  Once you have done so, you could try the Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that disables certain parameters, disables most Add-ons (extensions and themes).

  If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

  • In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button

    

    click Help

    

    then select restart with disabled modules.

  • In previous versions of Firefox, click on the Firefox button in the upper left of the Firefox window and click help (or click on help in the Menu bar, if you do not have a Firefox button) and click on restart with disabled modules.

  If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:

  • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
  • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
    (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

  When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

  

  If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. Please follow the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

  To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

  I hope this helps!

• A pop-up came up saying that my 'trial has done' but I have owned Photoshop CS6 since 2012. Help, please!

  Hello

  Just today while I was my regular editing, I got a pop up on my computer saying that my "day trail 30 had taken end." However, I was not on a test, my Photoshop CS6 is registered since 30 days 2012. This has never happened before, and I'm afraid that my Photoshop program crashes me in. I don't want to put the new serial number where it counts as it using the limited number of times. In addition, he always says I have a Photoshop CS6 recorded here on my Adobe account. Please help me!

  p.s. I am using Windows

  Please uninstall the software and then perform the procedure below.

  Rename the folder SLCache of SLCache.old, located at the following location:

  • Windows: \Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Adobe
  • Mac: System/Library/Application Support/Adobe

  Once done, restart the machine and reinstall the software and activate it.

• Please let me know how I can add a new column with a constraint not null, table already has data, without falling off the table... Please help me on this issue...

  Hello

  I have an emp_job_det with a, b, c columns table. Note that this TABLE ALREADY has DATA OF THESE COLUMNS

  IAM now add a new column "D" with forced not null

  Fistly I alter the table by adding the single column "D", if I do, the entire column would be created with alll of nulls for the column DEFAULT D

  ALTER table emp_job_det Add number D; -do note not null CONSTRAINT is not added

  Second... If I try to add the constraint not null, get an eoor as already conatained null values...

  (GOLD)

  In other words, if I put the query

  ALTER table emp_job_det Add number D NOT NULL; -THROWS ERROR AS TABLE ALREADY CONTAINS DATA

  So my question is how how can I add a new column with a constraint not null, table already has the data, without falling off the table

  Please help me on this issue...

  Add the column without constraint, then fill the column. Once all the rows in the table are given in the new column, and then add the constraint not null.

• Why a sql statement has become slow after upgrade to 11g database

  Hello
  
  My previous version of the database is 9I and any sql statement are well-developed.
  but after upgrading to 11g database, a sql statement become slowly.
  
  My senior dba friend told me there are a few different calculating methods from 9i to 11g.
  is any body can explain this different methods from 9i to 11g, and what should be attention to calculate at what level 9i to 11g. I thank.
  
  Sean

  The administrator of yours is correct. What he meant, 9i, the works of the optimizer with different formulas and 11 g, there are different formulas. PS this sometimes causes when you upgrade from 9i (or even 10g too), analyze the queries that worked with RBO in 9i perfectly and used indexes, all of a sudden they stop using it because the CBO think not that this is a good choice. It would be too difficult to put formulas here by anyone, but what I can say is that to buy a book.
  http://www.Amazon.com/cost-based-Oracle-fundamentals-experts-voice/DP/1590596366

  And practice on 9i, 10g and 11g. It would say a lot of formulas used by oracle.

  Hi I'm not a wiz kid so any help would be helpful thanks

  Hi I'm not a wiz kid so any help would be helpful thanks

  It is very difficult to try to help you with so little information, but one of the first things that you should consider in these circumstances is that you can be infected by the malware. What anti-virus program and what anti-spyware program you are running? If they are updated?

  For an anti-virus program, I recommend eSet NOD32, if you are willing to pay for it. If you want a free anti-virus, I recommend one (do not run more than one) of the following three:
   
  Avira AntiVir
  Avast
  Microsoft Security Essentials
   
  You also need anti-spyware software (even if you run a program like Microsoft Security Essentials, with anti-spyware feature integrated into it). I recommend that you download and install MalwareBytes AntiMalware (freeware)

• Very slow Macbook Pro (2012), please help with report EtreCheck

  Hi all

  My Macbook runs very slowly, I tried a number of things suggested online but none worked. I recently went to a repair shop and they suggested it could be to do with the dataflex (not sure if this was exactly, but I remember it sounding similar.) They described as a hard drive to another internal component connection, sorry for the inaccuracy.) I have me am replaced, but this did not help either.

  I downloaded the software EtreCheck and I was wondering if someone could help me to make light of the report on possible solutions? I have the feeling that it could be the hard drive needs to be replaced, but have no evidence of that. Verification has been run for the problem of "Beachballing" and got the sub report, please let me know if more info would be helpful. I hope it's telling in a way!

  Thank you for the pointers.

  Hello mrdivorce,

  It looks like of course as evidence of a hard drive failing for me. Hard drives 2.5 "in the MacBook Pro tend to fail after 2-3 years. Judging by the date on your MacBook, I think that your time is up. Maybe try to find a different repair store. Looking for Service Center authorized Apple (https://locate.apple.com/).

  I suggest upgrading to an SSD and increasing your RAM too. Then you have the hardware to run the last OS X 10.11.

• got the computer, needs update and my name instead of the former owner, please help

  Purchased from personal, but he left all her things, but has not received the disc to reinstall or updaye, then, how can I do this without crashing the computer?

  Thank you.

  Buy a used computer, it's always a good idea to reinstall Windows to restore to condition buy and go from there.  It eliminates any malware content and possible questionable.   In the last semi computers OEM (Dell, Hp, Acer, etc.), there is a recovery partition on the hard drive that can restore your machine bought as a condition.  The manufacturer saves a dollar or two for the supply of the discs.  Usually it's hit a key or combination of keys when the first splash screen appears when you start the computer.  Go to the manufacturer's website, click on the link "Support" and search for "Download" and download the manual for your computer.  It must contain instructions on how to restore it.

  If you decide to keep your current configuration, but to change the name of the owner, please see the following article:
