error message 'diskette of starting almost full' when external hd plugged

My problem is this: I have 72 GB free on my macbook pro (I almost everything save on external hds), but recently, when I plug the external hard drive, an error message appears: 'startup disk is almost full. When I check the free space on the disk, it tells me that I have no free space: all the space is taken by 'Other' stuff. When I unplug the hard drive, everything returns to normal. How can I solve this problem?

With connected externally, try re-indexing of Spotlight.

    These error messages are a pain in the neck to extract useful information.

    I suggest that you do a search online 'pilot audio free downloads' and find another audio program for your PC.

    If you find something that works for your satisfaction - remove your original pain in neck audio software and make sure you make your audio program newly found the 'default' device.

    Realtek and NVIDIA, for example get stuff good free audio driver.

    If the new program does not work - it would be a good indication that you have hardware on your PC, drive problems and no amount of play more with to try to correct the audio software will help. Period

  • On a 1100sa Pavilion DM4 how prevents one error message: unable to start Bluetooth stack service?

    I have a HP Pavilion DM4 1100sa, p/n: XE139EAR #ABU, a serial no: CNU1220Z75. I bought it about 2 weeks ago. Shortly after he stopped hibernating when I closed the lid and the fingerprint reader was also very intermittent, also error message unable to start Bluetooth stack service popped up after the computer has been rebooted and after startup of Internet Explorer... My own attempts to remedy that does not so I called your 0844 3690369 number and possibly your man said that the only option was to do a complete restore of the system. For this I made and then reinstalled my commercial software such as M/S Office 2010, Adobe Photoshop elements 9 etc.

    The error (see above) again reappeared and the fingerprint reader was still intermittent, also my Bluetooth mouse is not connected. Yet once, my own attempts to cure these problems have failed, including playback of your pages in the forum, so I phoned again, everything seems to be resolved but the initial problems and the subsequent, reappears.

    So I made an another System Recovery on Thursday, July 26, 2012. I did a full defragmentation and wiped the free space on the hard drive. This time, the only problem that occurs is the error message failed to start Bluetooth stack service. Yet once it appears only after a computer reboot and start Internet Explorer.

    I am very reluctant to spend another hour, or so, on the phone so I want your best and hopefully correct advice on how to avoid this very annoying message from popping up.

    We will uninstall the system Broadcom bluetooth driver and that's it.

    When you use Windows Mail, I got error messages on my dial-up connection when I don't have a dial-up access! Is no more, I can send or receive mail using windows mail. I have a connection high speed and have never had this problem before? Can you help me?

    In Windows Mail, go to select Tools, accounts, your account email, properties, connection. It shows for the connection?
    You should leave this setting not selected, in this case Windows Mail will use any connection IE uses.
     
    In addition, under Tools, Options, connection, the first checkbox must be checked, and the second box unchecked.
     
    If you still have the same problem later, the account may be damaged. Remove account, restart Windows Mail, and then recreate the account.

    Unfortunately, this model laptop has a Broadcom bluetooth device or a device of Atheros.

    Try to install the Atheros driver first because it is more common.  If it isn't an Atheros card, Setup HP rejects the update indicating no match of material.

    If this isn't Atheros, install the Broadcom bluetooth driver.
