We have 709 fragmented files. the only thing he tells me is to defragment again. This is a sound block saying me the corresponding problem.

  Hi Jason,

  1. to confirm, do you use the Windows XP operating system?

  2. do you get an error message? If Yes, what is the full error message?

  It seems that we have to clean the unnecessary files and check if the drive works properly or not.

  I suggest you perform the steps.

  Method 1: Use the Disk Cleanup tool and check if that helps you.

  See also:

  How to automate the disk cleanup tool in Windows XP

  Rerun defragment and check.

  Method 2:

  Alternatively, you can scan the hard disk for errors. You may need to run the scan several times and make sure that the disc is clean.

  Reference:

  How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP

  Chkdsk

  You can opt chkdsk/r

  Note: He performs a comprehensive check, even if the drive is not marked for chkdsk to run. This parameter is none of the changes on the disk.

  Note: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data can be lost.

  Once you have finished the cleaning disc and chkdsk, you can perform defragment to see if it solved the problem.

  Hope this information helps. Response with status so that we can help you.

  Hi Nikki,

  Are a. When you facing this problem?

  B. What is the error message when you try to open the word document?

  If you can't find a file you're looking for, it could have been recorded in or moved to a different folder than you expected, or the file had been sent to the trash.

  You can start the search for the file by using the search folder, but you can also get the file by inspecting folders where you think the file is likely to be.

  Try not the article.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/recover-lost-or-deleted-files

  If the problem is more recent, try to do a system restore and verify if you are able to locate the missing files.

• How to generate a Word document and a PDF file of help files?

  Hello

  I'm new to RoboHelp HTML and uses version 8.  I've updated some help files, and now I want to generate the output.  Here are my questions / or the process that I used:

  • To compile the help, I clicked on generate a main page layout.  Is this correct?  I noticed that the stamp on the xpj file has not changed.  The date is still many months.  (Why is this?  Must show a recent update date?)  However, the files that I've updated reflect the dates when I did the updates.  It comes to files art, a high hydrostatic pressure and htm, js, ldb, pss, DPC files.
  • To generate a pdf file, I clicked on Generate PDF.  I was not able to generate the PDF file first, but then I enabled macros in Word 2007 (Trust Center settings > enable all macros.. .and clicked on the checkbox, approved access to the VBA project object model) and you click on Generate the PDF.  At the end of the generation, I got this error in Word: Microsoft Office Word has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience.  The news that you were working may be lost.  Word can try to recover it for you.  I closed the Word and dialog box generated several blank documents.  Microsoft Office Diagnostics was performed and found a problem and fixes it.  Despite the error message was generated a pdf file.  (If you could give me any idea on why I got error messages, which could be useful to know).
  • How to generate a Word document?

  Thank you!

  Erin

  Welcome to the forum.

  I would suggest a different workflow.

  When you select generate a main page layout, RoboHelp did this according to the settings in all that is attached to your main layout. Better at least first double-click the page layout so that you see the settings and can make a difference to the way you want. After that, you can use generate a main page layout if you want, but I'd rather go through the layout itself and check the settings.

  The XPJ file changes only when certain things should be recorded in it and it's not every time that you are working on the project. In other words, don't worry about the date of the file.

  Now for the PDF. Again not the best place to start and still better to go of the provision itself. You can try to simply generate a PDF file, but many users prefer to create a Word document and make some changes in that. It can just be put page breaks to improve appearance, it may be more, it's your call. Once the Word document is good, generate the PDF from there.

  You will find the page layouts, that I want to talk in the pod of single Source Layouts. View > pods.

• Why finder hide Documents and office files in the home directory of the user by activating iCloud drive? What about the behavior of Time Machine backup or third-party applications?

  I'm under MacOS Sierra. I am connected to my iCloud account. I activated the option Desktop and Documents, but I did NOT activate the option optimize Mac storage, because I wanted to make sure that all my files would be available locally, just in case, I would need to work without an internet connection.

  -J' noticed there now a menu iCloud in my sidebar in the Finder, with links to Documents and desktop.

  -J' also noticed that Documents is no longer presented in my favorites in my side bar of the Finder.

  -This last suggests that files saved in 'Documents' are not saved more on my HD... but only in iCloud, which isn't what I want.

  -Then, sailing in the Finder Macintosh HD/users / 'My account' /, I noticed that my Documents and desktop folders are more visible, as if these files are not saved in my home folder most. Which raises the question: where are My Documents and files on my HD, so they are still?

  -Using a shell session in the terminal and again navigate to/Users / 'My account' /, I noticed that my Documents and desktop folders are still there. Which suggest that records and records of office reside actually still in my home folder under users, but Finder actually hide it and present them as being stored in iCloud only disc. It's very confusing.

  This raises several questions:

  -In the first place, why Apple hide Documents and office files in the directory? Why not view these folders in iCloud and directory?

  -Whence the iCloud folder or drive, reside actually on my hard drive?

  -What time Machine. Is it still back up my document files and folders?

  -What games third-party app mirroring backup of My Documents files and folders? They still work properly? (I use Livedrive backup and Sugarsync for files mirrored across several macs).

  -How can I understand that Apple is doing with my folders and files? Some users might be happy with the iCloud drive concept, without worrying about how it works, but I don't take chances, and I want to keep a good understanding about the functioning of my system.

  Could someone explain what is exactly happening?

  With office and selected Documents, access to these files are now in the iCloud Drive, not in your home folder.

  My guess would be that they do not appear in your file because it would be confusing for many people to make them in two places.

  If you want in the Favorites, open iCloud Drive and drag them in the sidebar here.

  All about iCloud drive has been saved on your Mac. With the exception of the office and the Documents, they are in ~/Library/Mobile Documents. However, if you choose optimized storage, older documents are removed from your Mac. I don't know what is "old".

  ~/Documents and ~/desktop have new metadata indicating probably Finder does not display them in a Finder window, only in iCloud drive. They are not hidden in one of the normal methods of unix.

  I have not tested Time Machine or any other backup program. The folder still exist in your directory home, and they still have all the files, I don't think that changes anything.

• In XP Documents and Settings, are files under Admin, default user, all users, and duplicate files etc?

  I see in Windows XP under Documents and Settings administrator, all users, default user and owner records. This is a duplication of files? I'm trying to clean up my hard drive and I would like to have just a structure, such as the owner or the administrator. Can I get rid of all the others and save a workspace of dick? How do I do that?

  * original title - more disk space? *

  N ° don't get rid of one of these data structures, or later, you'll be sorry.

  For everyday use, you should use the profile of 'owner '.  All your documents, music, images and other data must be different subdirectories to the title of owner.

  The administrator is a built-in account for emergency use administrator privileges (for example, if your daily profile becomes corrupted).  Probably, you don't see administrator on the Welcome screen.

  Every user is an account that is used to share data between different users.  If there is only a single user defined on your computer, there should be very little in every user account in the "My Documents" of this profile part, but some applications that you have installed may have placed hidden files in different folders in the profile all users.

  Default user is a model that is used to create new user profiles.

  If you are interested in which is placed on your hard drive, download and run JDiskReport.

  If you fear that you progress low hard drive space, there are a few things you can do, but all of them are essentially temporary measures.  If you're really under out of space on your hard drive, you can buy a bigger hard drive.

  Run Disk Cleanup (start > run > cleanmgr.exe > OK)
  Adjust system restore space
  Disable the Indexing Service
  Uninstall the applications that you use is no longer

  =====================================
  MP3 files can be problematic in Movie Maker...
  Best bet would be to convert the files to the. WMA
  format before you import into Movie Maker.

  There are many converters available on the net... the
  the following link is an example:

  (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
  Restore point before installing software or updates)

  Format Factory (freeware)
  http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Format_Factory
  (the 'direct link' is faster)
  (the file you want to download is: > FFSetup295.zip<>
  (FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
  ('all' boxes on the last screen)
  (Windows XP / Vista / 7)

  First... after the download and installation of Format
  Factory... you can open the program and
  left click on the toolbar, the "Option" button and
  "Select an output folder to" / apply / OK.
  (this is where you find your files after they)
  are converted)

  Drag and drop your music files on the main screen...

  Select "while"WMA"/ OK...

  Click on... Beginning... in the toolbar...

  That should do it...
