• When running Disk Cleanup, it does not remove anything to "Compress Old Files'.

  When I run my disk cleanup, it does not remove anything to "Compress Old Files' during cleaning.» Why not? I also need more disk space to defragment and I deleted all the programs that I don't use, but is not yet give me enough disk space.

  Compress old files not removes all files, compress files that are rarely or seldom used.

  If you get the low disk space, less than 15-20% free space, then you need to collect as much space as possible. However, the amount you get will not be a solution, only a temporary fix - it that.

  To add or remove programs and Windows components in Control Panel, you can uninstall programs as your plue no use - if you have. Not to be far uninstalling programs, you do not recognize, many elements are required for other programs work properly.

  You can also check to see how much space is reserved for the restoration of the system; by default, many GBs are usually reserved. Also disable hibernation as the file created can be 2-3 GB, sometimes even more.

  You must also consider moving your files and folders on a removable media, such as DVDs or an external hard drive. Still a great flash drive with 4 + GB of space can help, and their prices are reasonable these days.

  In addition to Disk Cleaner, you can consider running CCleaner. This is a free program that will remove the unnecessary and temporary files temporary Internet files of the most popular and many browsers other caches that can be cleaned safely.

  Since you are using Windows XP, there is a setting in CCleaner to remove the uninstallers of patches; These are the Windows Update files you've downloaded and installed over time and are there if you ever want to uninstall the update. But you can save these CD/DVD and then remove them safely from your system to recover the space. If you have ever removed one of these, you may be able to get beyond 1 GB of space.

  CCleaner

  If you decide to try it, by default, that almost everything in Windows Applications and is verified to be cleaned. You must first review the lists (they are compiled by what you have installed) and check/uncheck accordingly.

  Then click on analyze to see what will be removed (nothing is deleted when you click Analyze); When the scan is finished you can double-click on (or right click and select view detailed results) of the entries in the list to get more information.

  According to the detailed results, you can right click for options such as adding to the list of exclusions if you want the deleted item.

  Once that you are completely comfortable with your selections, you can click the run Cleaner button and then OK to put warn before vacuuming will run.

  CCleaner is also a registry cleaner that I don't recommend that you use - even if you have successfully run a registry cleaner in the past, it is quite possible that the next time will bring serious problems; they are not worth the risk...

  I know that this was not the miracle that you can have hoped, but personally recommended solution is a new, larger hard drive. In the case of desktop computers, an additional hard disk is useful for your personal files, especially for music, movies, photos and more.

  I hope this helps.

  Hello

  http://www.ehow.com/facts_6010913_can-old-files-disk-cleanup_.html

  Compress old files

  • This option, which is the only option that does not remove the files, compresses the files on the operating system that have not been consulted after a certain period of time. The files are not deleted, but simply compressed into a smaller size since they are not used and are accessible by the operating system if they are needed once more.

• Disk Cleanup tool does not not on Windows 7

  * The original title: Disk Cleanup tool hung

  I am trying to run the disk on a Windows 7 system cleanup tool and it takes forever!  It seems to be to calculate the amount of space will be freed up. I had read somewhere that long time may be due to the compression of the files before calculating the free space. If this is the case, how can I disable file compression in this tool?

  Found that if you let this race long enough, it will end.

• Parent lock does not remove on the release 25

  With the new update, Version 25, the Parent.Lock file does not during the release of Firefox. This problem never happened before. I use Windows 7 Home 64 bit on a gateway SX2800. When Parent.Lock precipitates, Firefox opens normally but if closed, there will be error that they always run if you try to open another session (and no, he is not running in the Task Manager). Disconnect, reconnect, remove Parent.Lock. Firefox works again. Seems we need a fix for the Version 25 already.

  The presence of a parent.lock file shouldn't stop Firefox start.
  
  Firefox uses the timestamp of the file and compare it with the toolkit.startup.last_success pref to check startup problems (Bug 294260).

  You can check for problems with preferences.

• the windows boot configuration data file does not contain a valid entry os

  Hello

  I got this message when recovery... I can't get the windows... I have the CD recovery, but when I boot it... It gives me this message

  the windows boot configuration data file does not contain a valid entry os

   

  
  How do I solve this problem

  Hello

  Assuming that it's just a problem with the recovery media, here's another solution, you can try.

  Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

  An example of a COA label can be seen here.

  You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( it must be the same version that originally shipped with your laptop - IE if your laptop comes with Windows 7 Home Premium, that is the file you need to download ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly file on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.  The source of the Image is - Digital River.

  Images of Windows 7.

  Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

  Hi, blixy16.

  First of all, I suggest that ensure you that your computer is virus-free.  You can start with themalicious software removal tool. Additional suggestions are available in the forum topic Microsoft Answers "How to get rid of malware .

  As a result, to determine if the problem you are experiencing is caused by one or more system files that are used by Windows, run the System File Checker tool. The System File Checker tool analyzes the system files and replaces incorrect versions of system files by using the correct versions.

  To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:

  • Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search.
  • Right click on cmd in the list programs, and then click Run as administrator.
  • If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue
  • At the command prompt, type the following line and press ENTER:
    sfc/scannow (note the space before the backslash)
  • When the analysis is complete, test to see if the problem you are experiencing is resolved.

• Disk Cleanup program will not work.

  I'm having a problem with the program of 'disk cleanup '. Every time I open it and try to run the program, in a first step a box appears which prompts me to choose which drive to clean up. But before that I can click on a choice, another box appears stating that there is a problem with the program, and he asked me to close the program. At the same time that box dialog in the box says to close the program, it gives me two options-1. close the program or 2. debugging of the program. If I choose #2, another box appears instantly with only one option to choose from and it's closing the program. What should I do? How important is this "Disk Cleanup" for proper computer maintenance? I always thought that the "Disk Cleanup" and "Disk Defragmenter" programs were vital. Moreover, the "Disk Defragmenter" program works well as a scheduled maintenance task.

  What operating system do you use? XP OR Vista?

  I don't know a thing about XP, but Vista, when you run Disk Cleanup, you do NOT have asked to choose which lead to cleaning. You will be asked to choose one of the 2:

  Files from all users on this computer

  Are you using a 3rd party disk cleanup or you are using the Vista built-in disk cleanup program?
