Defrag after downoading updates to windows XP Professional

Computer tells me my drive is full - shows 100%.  Tried to remove programs, which I don't use, but there is no room for this either.  Internet Explorer is messed up also.  Have no problems until the update downloaded Windows files (62 of them) a couple of days.  How can I get to defragment?

First of all, note that defragmentation does nothing for you get more disk
space. It * converted * what is on the disk. It does not remove
whatever it is.
 
Second, if your drive is full, there are various things to you can do
save space, but they are all at best palliatives; your
problem will come back quickly. The only real solution to your problem is
to buy a bigger hard drive. Fortunately they are very cheap now.

  • My laptop camera image on the upside after the upgrade to Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.

    I have a laptop Asus G50Vt - X 1, which is a 64-bit computer. It had Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit installed on it and the unit worked properly with him. I ran the update of Windows 7 Advisory on this matter and he said I could upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit. After the upgrade to Windows 7 Professional 64 bit the images from the camera are all upside. I contacted Asus about the problem and they sent me the drivers updated, but the images are still upside down. Pourrait Windows 7 cause this problem as I know that it worked fine under Vista?

    I also noticed that my dvd/cd player and external hard drives don't stop the execution after that I have quit an application. When this happens, I can't eject the cd or remove the drive from the computer.

  • HP EliteBook 850 G3: HP EliteBook 850 G3: its problems after the update of Windows 10 anniversary

    Hi people!

    After the update of Windows 10 birthday I have problems with my sound card. There are two sound cards listed by Device Manager. The first is "Conexant Audio of ISST" and the second "Intel High Definition Audio". I know not weather it was the case before the update. I just recognized it after the update when I had sound problems.

    In any case, on a sound start works on the other boot it does not work. It seems that Windows chooses the sound card, every time when it starts. Sometimes it takes the bad sound card.

    I tried to uninstall maps its and their resettlement. On the HP site, there is a driver for the Conexant map bot no driver for Intel High Definition Audio card. 10 Windows itself is not find a driver for this sound card. I also tried to reinstall the other drivers, chipset drivers for example. But unfortunately it did not help. I also tried to disable the Intel High Definition Audio, but also without success.

    What else can I try? I don't want to reinstall Windows. There must be a solution without this. Any ideas? Here's a screenshot of my device manager, perhaps it helps:

    If you need more information, please let me know.

    Best regards

    Ty

    I just tried this driver and I still have sound after 6 resets.

  • Satellite P200-P100 - black screen after an update of Windows 7

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite P200-P100 running Windows 7.
    A few weeks ago after an update of Windows 7, my monitor would not show any image, that she lit up, but still no picture. Not even the BIOS it will appoint.

    I fixed it by using the system restore using a different monitor. The same thing happened again today, I must have ran the same update, but this time a system restore does not, any more than to reinstall Win 7.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you

    Hello

    You mean you don't see anything about internal or external monitor, even switching of the output of the screen by pressing the FN + F5 buttons?
    Hmm. in my opinion has nothing to do with the Windows 7 update

    I mean the update/install of Win 7 OS should not affect the BIOS and you should be able to access the BIOS, even if no operating system is installed on the HARD drive!
    So I guess the question could be linked to the question of the motherboard or some parts placed on the motherboard

    Have you tried that?
    Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter
    Then wait a little (1 hour) and then reconnect the two parts.
    Then try to turn on the device

    If this will not help the RAM modules must be verified.

    Current solution: download IE8 for XP, run who, follow the Setup Wizard, wait for his failure. Download manually upgrade restart, recommended.

    Restart the installation of IE8, wait that he remove previous IE. Reset.

    Installation of IE8 restart to restart. Let it run. May need to restart.

    Try to run windows update again. IF it works, woot, otherwise download the SP3 of XP service pack from Microsoft. As the Windows update fails, you must not download an installer, but an ISO standard. Burn the ISO to a CD and install (way to go...) or download a free tool like 7Zip and unpack iso and install a go from there.

    From there on, the installation of SP3 and hope this works...

  • After going into sleep mode after automatic update of Windows 7, Pavilion p6210y PC won't sleep

    In two weeks, after an update of HP launched automatically, my monitor is not recognized - I tried to restart my PC via the power button, but the action brought everything back without interruption to the place.  Finally I made the necessary update HP closed down and all was back to normal.  Last night I made a full stop and a Windows 7 launched updates (do not turn off your computer, etc..).  This morning when I powered back upward, I got messages on the windows during Setup, etc, then everything returned normally.  I worked for a few hours and left the machine - it entered into mode 'sleep' and now I can't get out of fashion "Eve".  If I power cycle the monitor, I can messages same "cannot detect.  If I try to shut down the PC via the power button, the light is orange/sleep, I hear a humming, then seeing if off, then back to orange/snoring, reverse, etc..  Keeps the bike like this.  I'm afraid that question a couple of weeks may have been a sign of early warning of a problem of h/w, but am not sure.  Can anyone help?  I am not very savvy h/w... and hope that it is something more simple than that.  The PC is 2.5 years.
