Drive cleaner problems?

I have a Sony Vaio laptop computer. I had a virus some time ago and think that I managed to get rid of it. However when I run Vaio care check-up, it shows that I have thousands of errors 'problems' with my disk cleaner (this happens even if I run the check a few minutes apart. My computer of seams to run decent, but I'm afraid that if I stop running vaio care, my computer crashes. I do not have a disk. Help!

Hi Dan Sierra,.

Who is the manufacturer of your disc cleaner?

I suggest the following steps and check.

Step 1:

I'm not entirely convinced that you managed to get rid of the virus, I suggest you start a scan using your software security once more or analysis online by using the link below.

Step 3:

Start your computer in safe mode if your drive cleaner works.

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    check microsoft to the drivers FRO viewsonic va800, except if someone can help with a good method of downloading drivers before hand.

    Hi Dave,.
    I could be wrong, but "Viewsonic va800" resembles a monitor?  I think that you need to update the drivers for your graphics card.  In Device Manager, look at "Graphics cards" (that's what they are called in Windows7, could be something different in xp...).

    Take a look at this site for more information: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/ht/updatedriverxp.htm

  • During a recent drive clean that I discovered I had 21745 KB of old files compressed - what are compressed old files?

    Original title: what are the old files Compresssed understand?

    During a recent drive clean that I discovered I had 21745 KB of old files compressed - what are compressed old files?

    AND is it OK to delete to free up disk space?

    Hi Janie,
    We need a bit more info here. What you saw and where (or how do you here). XP can compress old files when they were little used. These files must be stored somewhere, and I think that you have found where. Do not delete them. If you went on the cleaning disc in the properties of a hard disk, you see where you can disable this active or disabled, but turn it off takes more space because you don't compress these files more. It can take a long time to turn it off too much because the system must find every file, unzip it save it to the hard drive and do the following. If it runs out of disk space free of it, it will stop and make either but then your hard drive will be very close to full and your entire system will slow down (it takes a good amount of HD to 'play'.

    Looks like you need more disk space. Get another drive (expensive) or go to disk cleanup and try to compress the entire drive. It will take a lot of time, maybe hours or overnight depending on the working speed and the player. But it's free. Overnight is best. I think you can stop it (read the help on this). Do not turn It Off during the race. Bad move.

    Something not clear, go back and ask.

  • HP Probook 450 G1; E9Y30EA #ABB: [Windows 10]: driver compatibility problems, sound buttons do not work

    Hi all

    I recently did a clean install of Windows 10 x 64 on my HP Probook 450 G1 (E9Y30EA), and after installing the drivers I noticed when I cut the sound, my Mute button will not change its amber color (or orange, yellow, regardless), as it did in Windows 7 and 8.1.

    In addition, another thing that does not work is shortened mute Microphone keyboard (fn + F8). It turns off the microphone, nor its LED lights.

    I have the latest version of the Support of hotkey driver installed (7.0.13.1) HP, HP Quick Launch Buttons, HP wireless button, installed, .NET Frameworks 2.0 and 3.0, etc... everything is up-to-date, but it still not working as it should. Micro just cut does not work and pressing (sound) Mute button mute, but its light remains white, so I often do not know if I got the sound we or off with the look of a look I did.

    On the other hand, HP wireless button works normally, and it changes color to Amber when I press on it to activate airplane Mode.

    TL; DR: After the installation of the Win10 Hotkey Mute Microphone work and his Mute button works, but the LED does not work.

    Is what I can do to fix that, or is this just a problem with the driver incompatibility which would be fixed in some future updates? Or it is something else, like Windows 10 question or maybe audio driver?

    Thanks in advance,

  • Game Minecraft OpenGL satellite L650 - driver update problem - PSK1E

    Hello

    I know that several posts have already highlighted this problem.

    I have a Satellite L650 PSK1EE.
    Sorry if this is not the right place to post but I could not find anywhere else to start a new thread.

    Essentially my children want to use * Minecraft * on this laptop. I downloaded it but get the error message that my graphics driver is not compatible opengl. I only have Intel. So I tried the usual driver updates, then I tried to download a generic Intel driver but I don't know which one is right.

    Once I have selected * chart * then * laptop graphics driver * s then I get the choice between 2nd or 3rd generation processors, accelerators and mobile chipsets, which none means nothing to me and I'm stuck.

    It seems that some people have managed to circumvent the built-in graphics card driver and update manually one this way, once you know what you download and then unzip and so on...

    Of course, I can waste my time.

    If anyone knows how to proceed, I'd be very grateful for any help so that I can stop spending hours Googling this.

    Thank you very much

    Hey Buddy

    To be honest I don t understand why you react so panicly

    You have a laptop that has a pre-installed Vista OS.
    The fact is that this OS Vista was preinstalled on your laptop computer and for several days/weeks, Microsoft has published a large number of updates and so Vista downloaded and installed updates. But don t wonder about other updates. From time to time you will receive these patches! This is a common behavior of the OS.

    With regard to the Tempro tool;
    This tool informs you about new drivers available, tools or utilities on the Toshiba page.
    To be honest I wouldn t use it. Usually, it's really not important what and when a pilot a tool was released if your laptop runs without problem. I'm always this recommendation; never change a running system.

    Hope I could make a clarification.

    Good bye

  • Driver installation problem Windows XP Home on Satellite L450D-11 t

    I bought a laptop SATELLITE L450D-11 t with windows 7 and I want to use a USB stick for internet, but it requires a previous version of the operating system.
    So I installed windows xp, but on this site, it is not all drivers (motherboard, video, audio, network) compatible.

    Analysis of the situation, I found the driver for audio on the Realtek site but on the mother/video card driver, I have a few problems:
    the AMD 780 G chipset and the display hardware is an ATi Radeon HD 3200. On the AMD website, I found a package with all the necessary drivers, but during the installation of the system restarted itself each time I start the installation. I opened the event viewer to see if there is an error, but nothing.
    I restarted the pc mode provvisional: he can't complete the installation, but it gives an error "Unable to open driver for tracking" or something like that.

    Is there something wrong? I forgot to do something?
    Thank you

    Hello

    Why you n t take an another USB compatible with Windows 7? In my opinion, it would be easier to reinstall the whole laptop but ok, it s your decision ;)

    As far as I know the drivers on page AMD intended for office use only, so I think that they will not work on mobile chips. But maybe the only corrupt the downloaded driver files, then try to download again.

    As I've already said, I would choose another USB key. This laptop is designed for the new Windows 7 and everything should work properly on the new operating system.
