See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic-link_library, which States
"Dynamic link library (also written words) or DLL, is.
The implementation by Microsoft of the shared library concept in the
Microsoft Windows and OS/2 operating systems. "
-can they removed safely in the Vista's C:\Windows directory?
Generally, no. They are necessary for the programs and programs don't
work without them. But there may be a few exceptions with DLL files
which are no longer used. If you try to delete everything, be extremely
careful and delete are not only those that you are absolutely sure
necessary.
And I'm sorry to say - I don't want to be insulting - but if
You must ask yourself what is a DLL file, you should not mess around with
them and try to remove everything.

In the Windows Task Manager, I have 76 processes running. What are they all? Can I reduce/close them?
I am only a very lightweight browser and the user of the social network. I do not use my PC for something else.
It is average for a system Windows does not.
Windows is broken down into different components so they can be executed in parallel to improve performance.
Their closure will cause your computer to malfunction and eventually fails.

Hello
I got this message after the import on ten H.264 files that I coded for Adobe media encoder. "It is not available on this system from adobe yet the software that is used to decode the media. install the correct decoders for the file you are editing can help fix the problem. »
The files that we have shot with HD cameras. Edited in Premiere Pro CS3. I installed the update 3.0.1 with always the same error.
I also tried a new project and after about ten or so files imported into a timeline, the breakdown of the system. I tried twice...
Thanks in advance
Please report to us. I don't know the exact specifications. for stills in still, the limit is 4000 pixels in the largest dimension for PrPro.
Now, I must add that in PS. resizing algorithms are better, in my opinion, than those of PrPro and again. This means that there is nothing to gain and quality of untying, important images much larger than the size of the frame of the project, i.e. of 720 x 480 for NTSC SD projects yet. The size of the image will be the limiting factor, so scratch that.
Even in projects PrPro, I resize to exactly what I need. If I will not pan on a zoomed image, I resize it to the size of the image of the project. If I move on a zoomed image, I resize just what I need.
Good luck

Tutorial Flash content files: where are they?
I tried searching the forums on this first, but I kept getting some kind of error related to Cold Fusion...
I'm enjoying some downtime at work to finally learn how to use Flash. I watch videos on AdobeTV, and the Narrator has referred to as apparently pre-existing files or folders a couple of times. More specifically, in the video of "Getting started: 07 understanding symbols of ', it refers to a file called"symbols.fla in the folder of Chapter 2.
I can't find anything like that. Anyone know where it is? I use Flash CS4 on a PC (Vista 64-bit).
Thank youI believe that a specific series of videos being comes from lynda.com
Lynda.com (if you aren't familiar) hosts a multitude of training videos that you can watch on a paid subscription basis. Some of these subscription options give you the ability to download the class files that are used in the course. These are probably the course files that you are looking for.

WHY THE WINDOWS TEMP FOLDER, THE FILES ARE PROTECTED, CAN NOT BE REMOVE?
CANNOT DELETE THE WINDOWS TEMP FOLDER ALL THE FILES ARE PROTECTED. WHY?
You can delete all. TMP using Disk Cleanup http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Delete-files-using-Disk-Cleanupfiles. Of course, it won't delete those in use (not more), so, be sure you have not all open programs using temporary files, if you want to get everything. The best way to do it is to do the cleanup right after the startup of the system. The problem with OneCare is that it doesn't give you the option to choose the files you want to delete (as fair. TMP files) - she does everything that it considers unnecessary - and it can take hours to complete because of the antivirus and anti-spyware scans it includes (which can be excluded and drastically reduce the time but it is difficult to resist doing the chore together once you're already there and ready to do maintenance work).
While you're there, you should consider to optimize your system with http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Optimize-Windows-Vista-for-better-performance.
What are two tasks that should be part of a good monthly maintenance program to keep your PC/laptop running in peak condition. There are other steps as well, that I would be happy to break it down if you want to know - but this isn't what you asked, so I'll skip that for now.
Good luck and I hope this helps! Lorien - a - MCSE/MCSA/network + / A +.

I have Vista 32 bit Home Premium.It does not support Windows Mail.Which is the best operating system to upgrade from Vista? Should I buy Windows 7, 8 or 8.1? I do not have a touch screen system, my system is five years old.
Original title: upgrade
Hello WilliamPopat,
If you want to buy an another operating system, you would do better to buy the latest version, i.e., Windows 8.1 it doesn't matter that you don't have a touch screen like Windows 8.1 will work just as well on a desktop PC / laptop normal.
However, before rushing and buying a copy of Windows 8.1, I suggest that you look at this link http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/11885-windows-8-upgrade-assistant-download-run.html the link above shows Windows 8 Upgrade Wizard you can download (free) and allows you to check that your PC is compatible with the latest version of Windows.
According to me, one of my office machines is around 5 or 6 years and Windows 8/8.1 works fine on it. However, it is best to check your own machine with the wizard upgrade just in case.
