• My XP desktop seems to have thrown my 'system tools' function and I want to use the disk cleanup and defragmentation... How to get back the system tools?

  My computer is as I said above a desk with the microsoft XP program and is a little less than five years.  It has been slow and it dawned on me that I hadn't used the disk cleanup or some defrag for a while, but I clicked on start, all programs, accessories, System Tools was is no longer.  I have not been able to access the disk cleanup or defragment option and hope that out there, can someone advise me how to get this feature.

  You can run Disk Cleanup and Defragmenter disk since the start > run box by typing the following

  Cleanmgr
  Dfrg.msc

  You can restore all of the 'Accessories' group (including system tools) by following the directions here--> http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Accessories.htm

  Or you could just create shortcuts to

  C:\Windows\system32\dfrg.msc
  and
  %SystemRoot%\System32\cleanmgr.exe

  Note that % SystemRoot % is the directory where Windows.  You can use this form or explicit as in the example for the shortcut from the Defrag.

• No sound on my laptop after disk cleanup and defragmentation

  Hope someone can help me,

• I downloaded Service Pack 3, and now my Disk Defragmenter does more

  After that I downloaded the Service pack, I can not load Disk Defragmenter. The system restore was put there where there is no Checkpoint earlier when it has been installed. Help!

  Hello

  Do you currently or have you ever had a third-party disk defrag tool (such as Diskeeper, Auslogics, etc..)  Installed and uninstalled then?  Sometimes no will again put the original XP Defragmenter settings so you have to put yourself back in to re-record some DLL files.

  To do this, click Start, run and in the box type each of the following lines one at a time, and click OK to run each of the commands one at a time:

  regsvr32 dfrgsnap.dll
  regsvr32 dfrgui.dll

  When the process is completed for each DLL, you sign up, you should see a message similar to the following:

  DllRegisterServer in ... Succeeded.

  It's good to register the dll, even if they are already registered.

  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
  What applications you are running, it may or may not do anything for you. More memory
  is this not better for everyone. This is my standard message on this
  Object:
   
  The amount of RAM you need to good performance is * not * a
  unique situation for all. You get good performance if the amount of
  RAM you have prevents you from using the file page in a meaningful way, and
  It depends on what applications you are running. Most of the people a typical range running
  Enterprise XP applications find that somewhere around 512 MB
  works well, others need more. Almost everyone will see poor performance
  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
  will reduce or eliminate the use and improve your performance.
  If you do not use the pagefile significantly, it will make more memory
  nothing for you. Reach
  http://billsway.com/notes%5Fpublic/WinXP%5Ftweaks/ and download
  WinXP - 2K_Pagefile.zip and monitor your use of the page file. Who should
  give you a good idea of more memory can help and if so, how
  lots more.

  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.

• what Disk Defragmenter say and do?

  Please tell me in simple terms that I can understand

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_Defragmenter _(Windows)

  http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&q=What+does+Disk+Defragmenter+do%3F&btnG=Search&Meta=

  What is the fragmentation of the files?

  Sometimes, when you install a program or create a data file, the file eventually axe up into large pieces and stored in several locations on the disk. This is called fragmentation.

  Why this happens?

  When you install your operating system and programs on your hard drive, they are written on the disc, for the most part, in a contiguous block without gaps. The exceptions are some system files that must be stored in specific locations. Over time, that you create and then delete documents or uninstall programs, once filled with places is left empty and you end up with files scattered around the disk.

  Now, when Windows writes a file on the disk, it looks a suitable free space room in which to store. What happens, then, when you copy a file from database or audio of 40 M on the disc and the largest share of the free space is only 30 M? Or say that you change an existing file by adding a whole bunch of data so the file now takes more space on the disc. For files, Windows writes the first part of the file in a section of the disk and then scouts of other places to store the rest of the file. The end result is that a single file can be stored in several pieces scattered all over the disk.

• My Disk Defragmenter has worked all night and is still in course, would there be a problem?

  My Disk Defragmenter has worked all night and is still in course, would there be a problem?

  Hello

  The Vista defrag works quietly in the background without intervention on your part

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/942092

  In Windows Vista, there are a lot of improvements in the defrag engine and handling of fragmentation. By default, Windows Vista uses Task Scheduler to automatically keep the defragmented hard drive. This Automatic defragmentation does not affect the performance of the Windows Vista operating system...

  If you want to use a much better defragmentation program which is free and where you can see the results, I suggest this one:

  See you soon.

• When you use your hard disk defragmentation process starts but seems stuck and won't end evn after several hours. How I can remidy this?

  When you use "Defragment your hard drive" the process starts but seems stuck and won't end evn after several hours.  How I can remidy this? I was already able to defragment successfully.

  Hello

  How do you know that never, it ends when there is no GUI on Vista for Defrag?

  in vista, the defragmentation process works silently in the background

  Unfortunately in vista it does not provide a GUI to show progress as it did in xp

  to do this, you'll need 3rd party defrag programs
