Defragmentation and menu of services

Hello

Looked defragger computer hubbys to see he did not task since 2007!  Considered the responses all over the internet and I am now stuck.

Scheduled task has been set to automatic but the calendar says 'never' to perform according to defrag.  I went into the services menu to see if disk defragmentation is enabled and it is not there. I can defragment manually, and it seems to take hours.  Anyone know how I can add this new in the services menu so that I can implement to perform tasks automatically.

Thank you.

Hello Carla,.

If you run Disk Defragmenter automatically or manually, Disk Defragmenter may take a few minutes to a few hours at the end, depending on the size and the degree of fragmentation of your hard drive. You can still use your computer during the defragmentation process. It runs in the background

I explained in my previous answer how to schedule a task for disk defragmentation.

Your second response, I understand that you know how to schedule the task, but could not find the scheduled task in Task Scheduler

Please follow the steps below to find

Click Start , type Task Scheduler in the search field and select the Task Scheduler when it appears.
If you are prompted for permission, click continue .
In the left column , double-click Task Scheduler Library , thenMicrosoft , Windows , Defrag .

Here, you will be able to find the scheduled task

Note: To view them properly, you must display hidden task. Clickview , and then click Show hidden tasks

I hope this helps

    Original title: Windows Update will not install on the new load XP

    Hi all

    Thanks for your replies.  Sorry I didn't answer sooner, but he got late last night, and I got to reregister the Qmgr.dll and Qmgrprxy.dll BITS files.

    I clicked Start, click on run and typed the command following, and then click OK:

    Start, run and in the run box, Type regsvr32 qmgr.dll, click OK.
    Start, run and in the run box, Type regsvr32 qmgrprxy.dll, click OK.

    I was then able to start the updates.  There are 124 updates, the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and the .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update for versions of .NET 2.0 to 3.5 (KB951847) x 86.  He downloaded 124 updates, but even once asked me to insert the disc for qmgr.dll when he was installing the 10th update.  I find the qmgr.dll file again and pressed OK, but it seems to hang forever and do nothing, then I simply cancelled updates and closed during the night.  I have been relieved to have solved the problem of BITS, but is concerned by the hang up on the tenth update installation and he called again for the qmgr.dll file during the installation of updates.

    This morning, when I rebooted, it installed some updates at startup, and I restarted again.  He then held I first install the .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and the .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update for versions of .NET 2.0 to 3.5 (KB951847) x 86 to date.  N BITS issue for that.  It took time, but completed settle.  Restart again and now there are only 21 updates to high priority required.  My guess is that he downloaded all 124 updates last night, but when I cancelled the installation after hanging on #10, he just started to install it again this morning and did so successfully.

    However, when I try to install the 21 remaining, he has not once again, and I find that the BITS service is not in the services again.  After I have re-enter the BITS service and restart it, the downloads are working again.

    I am now what I may need to reinsert and restart the BITS service whenever I need to download an update.

    Ideas, suggestions or comments?  I am slowly solve problems and if I persist, I can get this all taken care.

    Hi Dan,.

    From what you wrote, I understand where you are getting confused. Here are the steps to follow to solve this problem.

    Open the Windows search tool, copy / paste the following text, and then click Search: qmgr.dll

    Research should show this file in the following locations:

    C:\Windows\System32
    C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\bits

    I hope they are all present, follow these steps to register the service.

    Click on start, run and copy/paste: regsvr32 qmgr.dll and click OK
    (If you do not have the command run in the start menu, hit the Windows key + R, instead)

    Do the same with this file: regsvr32 qmgrprxy.dll and then restart.

    Here are the next steps.

    Copy / paste this command in the field to run, and then click OK
    %windir%\System32\rundll32.exe setupapi, InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 %windir%\inf\qmgr.inf

    Windows will launch a dialog box asking you to insert the Windows installation CD. Ignore this and change the way downstairs to C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386

    The reason to change the path to the i386 folder is that the files that are there are newer than those on the Windows installation CD.

    Then restart the PC again and continue with the rest of the troubleshooting steps.

    Click on start, run and copy/paste the following and click OK: services.msc

    You should now be able to see the Background Intelligent Transfer Service, or just "BITS" displayed in the list of Services.

    Double click it to open BITS and then click on the Start button. This is just a test to make sure that it works correctly.

    If you get 2 error: cannot find the specified file, click on start, then run again and copy / paste the following command, and then click OK:
    Tracking Add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\BITS\Parameters /v ServiceDll /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d %windir%\System32\qmgr.dll

    Restart then try and start the BITS.

    If you get the same error again, copy / paste the following text in the field run and click OK:
    Reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\BackupRestore\FilesNotToBackup

    Reboot once more and then try and start the BITS.

    Let me know how you please.

  • Is there a way to automatically fill bookmarks and folders of bookmarks in the toolbar and menu for a consistent view?

    The separate group of bookmarks in Firefox in the toolbar, Menu and does not sort, I always found it cumbersome to use and manage. The search for bookmarks often means I have to open each one to find a specific bookmark. I am aware of the show all bookmarks in bookmarks option > drop-down Menu (but isn't in the bookmarks bar). I know how to copy the bookmarks and folders etc. but it is hard to do every time I have bookmark. And if I add a new bookmark folder and want a consistent view, I need to copy this folder in the Menu or eitherToolbar and copy the new bookmarks in the toolbar or the Menu as well.

    Is there an add-on or option or other alterative that exists to provide that kind of capability?

    If not, maybe an adding future functionality to Firefox to eventually change the vision presented in the bookmarks bar and Bookmarks Menu so that they match and can be activated by a new option of FireFox "change the bookmark view show merged Bookmarks Toolbar + Bookmarks Menu bookmarks and folders of bookmarks in the toolbar and menu.

    Thank you very much!

    After a few edits, I found a way to accomplish what I want, and fortunately, it can be done in the application of Firefox without needing an add-on.

    I simply copy the bookmarks unordered top-level in the top-level bookmarks toolbar and the bookmarks Menu of top-level. This, combined with the convention to add all new bookmarks in the folders under Unsorted Bookmarks or Unsorted Bookmarks, provides the unified content bookmark I want across all views bookmark 3 (Unsorted, Menu, Toolbar).

    From the library page (grown by selecting from the menu of Firefox bookmarks bar > show all bookmarks), if I select Unsorted Bookmarks, copy and paste into the bookmarks toolbar and paste in the Menu bookmarks, this is what I want. I actually created a symbolic/reference/shortcut link to Unsorted Bookmarks the other two favorite places can be found.

    With Unsorted Bookmarks in the bookmarks toolbars and bookmarks Menu, any add/remove bookmarks or add/delete records or restructuring of the bookmarks under Unsorted Bookmarks directory tree is also immediately reflected in all 3 of the possible locations of bookmark (Unsorted, toolbar, Menu).

    The design and implementation of bookmarks supports this simple solution, so Bravo for designers and coders for built-in extensibility / generality which support this approach. And thanks for the posters for giving me some background and history on the bookmarks in Firefox, motivation me digging to find this solution which is quite simple and elegant.

    Thank you!

    Generally no.
     
    How many memory currently have installed? How did you buy?
    Did you buy exactly the same type, brand, model, etc. ?
     
    Why do you want more memory? Depending on how much you have now, and

    with less than 256 MB. Some people, especially those who do things
    as modification of large photographic images, can see an improvement in performance by
    adding even more 512 MB - sometimes much more.
     
    If you currently use the page file significantly, more memory

    If you do not use the pagefile significantly, it will make more memory
    nothing for you. Reach
    WinXP - 2K_Pagefile.zip and monitor your use of the page file. Who should

    You have 35% of your hard drive free. It's disk space, also called
    storage. It is not memory, what is RAM. Adding memory will not make
    any changes to the available disk space.

    to activate the registry defragmentation and compaction: go to start then run, type msconfig and click on the Startup tab.

    Choose Safeboot (mininimal), and then restart the computer.

    The computer will restart in safe mode, just let it run through the process; If you have a regular dskchk, let this race as usual and let the computer restart, the reg defragmentation etc, should operate normally after that. Remember once the computer has restarted in safe mode and you're on the office just repeat the msconfig but uncheck the boot in the safe mode option, and then restart Windows normally.
