Delete old information that require access to the SYSTEM
I did a reinstall of Windows 7 Pro and a "Windows.old" folder appeared in the new folder "Windows". I have already moved all the information I needed out of the Windows.old folder, and now I need to delete since it takes 20 GB of space with redundant data. Whenever I try to delete the file (as all codes are now also in the 'Windows' file), the system tells me that I can not because the SYSTEM will not allow it. I tried to change the permissions for everyone to be able to do something with this file, but whenever I try to delete it, it fails. How can I get rid of this file?

Use the Disk Cleanup Wizard. Make sure you check the cleaning system files.

Cannot use applications that need access to the internet
I have problems with a number of applications on my Vista system. All worked well until a few days ago (I ran the Symantec Conficker and Msft Malware tools so am sure it isn't the Conficker virus). I am connected to the internet and can go to websites via IE. However, applications that require access to the Internet are faulty. It started with Windows Live Messenger, which would not start (error message has been that there was a problem). After much effort I uninstalled but impossible to reinstall as the installer does not due to "not connected to the internet. Another application shows an error 80072efd - lack of connection. I can't configure Norton due to the lack of ability to connect to services. Any ideas? Thanks in advance...
Hi DebAlex,
Is the name of the application Python ring a Bell to you? It is a programming language and PyWin32 is an extension for it. Please do a search on your computer (include files and hidden folders) for the file name pythonw.exe and pywin32.
Depend on whether you use on your computer or not Python, you might want to try find it in Control Panel--> programs and features and remove it from the list if you use the program.If you do not use the program, rename the folder these files are locate in (if you can find using the search). Other people with the same error were able to fix this way.

If my phone was stolen while it was unlocked, would get a remote delete all information from my phone so the assailant was actively digging through my phone? I'm afraid that the author would look through all my personal stuff that I have on it.
You can clear your phone remotely while it is unlocked. Everything will be removed.

I can't find my old emails that is to say the last 4 years e-mails have disappeared. I can't see in the 'archives' folder list and also in my list of "local" files
I recently formatted my system. It causes this problem? Is there anyway to recover my emails?Assuming that really format you your hard drive.
Can erase you every single entry to a file, message, photo, program, document, etc. When you select format you get warnings on this subject.
The format is the last thing you want to do without going through a backup of your personal and important files.Local folders is automatically created when you installed Tbird.
And it is empty until you move something over there.
(Your former local folder with all its files and messages has been removed under format).Only messages that are still on your server (stbeehive.oracle.com) can be recovered.

I can't delete some files that I uploaded to the server. What should I do?
I can't delete some files that I uploaded to the server. I get a notice: FTP an error occurred - cannot delete the PDF download server folder. Operation failed. The directory is not empty, or there may be a permission problem.
What should I do?
Try to delete the files in your folder first.
If there is a permissions problem on the server that you cannot delete files, you need to contact your Site Administrator (if you have one) or your Web hosting provider.

Because ati - driver must be changed to support, protection against overheating.

I have a new install of Windows XP Pro and I am trying to transfer the old hard disk user settings. Is there a way to do it with just the HDD connected or do I need to reinstall the old HD in a computer and run the wixzard?
AFAIK, you can't transfer 'settings' without going through a working Windows installation, although you could, of course, copy all the files of data, including the 'Favorites' (favorite IE) to X:\Documents and Settings\nom_utilisateur\Favoris (where X: is the letter of the old hard disk).
Depending on what you want to copy things from the old drive, there are manual methods to retrieve the data; You'll have to ask specific questions.
Of course, you need to reinstall old programs from original installation media (or the downloaded installation files).
Just break out the old drive in any old computer as the 'system disk' is not likely to work unless you do a repair installation of Windows, which is becoming more trouble than its worth just to copy the settings of the program.

I am running a version of Microsoft "Vista." I want to do a "System Restore" to a date earlier than the 'Restore Point System' which is steeped in external memory of my terminal (and apparently in memory of boarding school of the terminal). The terminal shows only the "System Restore Point" that I had introduced manually; How replace this erroneous 'system Resote Date Point' so that I can get rid of things that I wish were not included in the drive of my terminal? Specifically, the "Ready Boost" option has ruined my terminal memory drive; That's why I want to get rid of with a "restoration of memory", but there is no other precedents "System Restore" options.
Hello
You will be able to perform a system restore to a restore point created or present on the system. If you have no restore point created before the questions, then you will not be able to restore it.
For more information, see the following articles:
System Restore: frequently asked questions
If you try to uninstall an application, you can read the following article to uninstall the program.
You can see the following link to uninstall the screensaver.
You can also try disabling readyboost and check if it helps.

This afternoon, I tried to install the home group. When I did, I got a message that windows could set up homegroup for this pc. (I'm not sure if this is relevant, but it's the last thing I did with windows before my problems started).
-At the moment when I try to go to c:\, I get an access denied message.
-When I go on c:\Users\Patrick then it shows my files and the directory.
-When I opened a word from this directory document, it works (so I have read access).
-I can't make a new folder in my home directory.
-When I start for the mmc instance get Windows cannot access... 0x800704b3 error code after diagnose I get an error that convenience store could not start error code 0 x 80070005. (it happens with all windows utilities.
-When I start safe mode it restarts after a few seconds (after he show users)
-When I try to activate the account administrator to the command prompt it says access denied.
-When I try to access the settings with the UAC, it does not.
-When I start a normal program (like VS2008) it starts up, when I do as an administrator I get the same error that when im from the mmc.I have my PC from Vista
Homegroup only works for Win7, Win7. So I don't know what you were doing. Try a system restore to before that you did whatever it is that you did. You can start with your Vista DVD and access to restore the system from there. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!
