    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -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...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.

    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
    4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)

    I could not update my computer for more than a year. I searched for the cause of this and have been unsuccessful. Whenever I click search for updates, it gives me errors, and then I click on get help with errors and tried troubleshooting but have not been able to solve my problem. Lately, he has been interfering with the update or install new programs. Now I can't update my Itunes or Ipod. I can't upgrade to Windows 7. I can ' t use microsft word because everytime I try to install or update these things, it won't let me. I've been putting off not to worry so much about the updates, but they have reached a limit, when my computer became difficult to use. The error code is 80070424.

    Restore the system to factory settings.  Install applications from their media keys/serial numbers and product, that you put aside.  Restore your data from backup.

  • Fixed error Code 80070424 / error code 80070005 is now worth

    I posted this problem on the Vista Forums. I write here to see if anyone here has any idea!
    ---

    I have fixed the installer of Modules missing Windows instructions of Flavius ( http://www.vistax64.com/vista-general/218999-windows-modules-installer-missing.html ). Works great with re-Setup "TrustedInstaller.exe" and everything is back to normal in the directory "Services.msc".

    However, now I'm stuck with an error code 80070005 '"when you try to run Windows Updater.

    I've already used Microsoft "Difficulty" to reset the Windows Update components and to restore the default security settings. I tried install the "subinacl.msi" and create/run the file "reset.bat" (apparently this does not work on 64 - bit systems). I even tried to install 'accesschk.exe', but the command prompt appears and then disappears in a second milla.

    I also tried running "sfc/scannow" and continue to receive the error "could not Windows Resource Protection start the repair service". I can't do a repair installation because I use Vista Home Prem 64 - bit SP2 and I don't have any Windows installation disc.

    Anyone have any suggestions?

    I had the same error code 80070005. In services.msc, TrustedInstaller description said "Failed to Read Description. Error code: 2 ". I tried almost all of the suggestions posted in online forums, but none worked. I even thought the upgrade on the spot. However, I found that it is the property and the TrustedInstaller.exe permission setting.

    (1) right-click C:\WINDOWS\servicing\TrustedInstaller.exe
    (2) select the tab security and property
    (3) add the possession: "Administrator" and "SYSTEM".
    (4) make sure "read & execute" and "read" permissions are checked to each owner.

    That's all. Hope it helps to solve the problems of some face.
