Error message "unable to copy the file"hiberfil", it is used by another person or program." Problem copying content from your PC to external hard drive.

Original title: problem to copy content from your PC to external hard drive.

I use Windows XP 2000 and am trying to restore my pc to factory settings as it is continuously 'stick '. When you try to copy my drive "c" on an external drive I get a message saying "unable to copy the file"hiberfil", it is used by another person or program." Close any program that might be using the file and try again "." What is 'hiberfil' and how do I close it down as I am not aware that I use?

Concerning

Pete

The hiberfil.sys will be created every time that you start... If you put in hibernation enabled in your control panel, Power Options and the file is 'open' to think that you can actually choose to Hibernate at any given time.  When you Hibernate XP gives a note of it and will write a hiberfil.sys sometimes important in the c:\ folder so that when XP fires again upwards and returns from hibernation, XP will read the hiberfil.sys file and return to the situation that you were in when you put into hibernation.

I use to be a chronic hibernant because it takes less time to return after hibernation as a cold start.  Sometimes, it can actually be slower that a cold so start your system based on the amount of RAM has.  The more RAM you have, the more your hiberfil.sys will, if sometimes it's faster to move with just a cold start if you Hibernate (26,03 seconds for me).

If hiberfil.sys is giving you a hard time (you would not in any way copy it) disable hibernation in your Power Options and the file will be deleted immediately since it would be is no longer necessary.  That would solve this, but if you are trying to copy the entire C drive, you will have other files to complain after that.

It is certainly possible to make a complete copy of the C drive, if you want, but you will have to initialize on something next to your drive hard if you want to do this so the XP files are not used - then you can copy anything and everything.  You can get some imaging software of disc that will also help you.

It depends on what the problem is you want to solve and what you wand to end up with when you're done (so far, unspecified).

I would work on figure our why your XP is paste and fix it in place.  XP should not be sticky.

  • Print file stuck in the coil, the message "unable to copy the name of the file: it is used by another person or program".

    Recently, I tried to capture a job by a break of a print queue, print work and copy the files from the spool (under C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\PRINTERS) before unpausing the queue. However, when I try to copy the files, I get the error message "unable to copy the name of the file: it is used by another person or program". I tried several times with the same result. The only way to get the file off the ground is obviously t reactivate the print queue and they will quickly deteleted shortly after. Is there a way I can recover these files? Assume the change the port in 'File' to make a copy of file is on the table. I ran this in the title of administrator user rights.

    The file you are trying to "capture" you will do some good.  However, if you want to watch or copy it, first stop the print spooler.  Open the Services applet (start > run > services.msc > OK).  Scroll down to "Print spooler" and click "Stop".  Don't forget to restart the print spooler after you copy the file or you will not be able to print.

    If you want to print to a file rather than on paper, there are at least three ways to do it (not counting "Print to a file").

    Using the "Print to file" box will produce a *.prn file.  It contains commands specific to the printer; It cannot be opened by the usual word processor applications; It can be used to print to the printer selected in the print dialog box or printer that uses the same commands to the printer.  For example, you have a printer installed on 1 computer but you have physically moved the printer to computer 2, where it is now installed.  You can check the "Print to file" on the computer 1, save the file to a flash drive *.prn, carry it to computer 2 and then print it out by copying the file to the printer (in a command prompt window).

    1. the best way, IMO, is to print to a PDF using free CutePDF Writer.

    2. you can create a "generic, only the text" printer and select this option when you print.  This produces a *.txt file.  To install the generic/text printer only, follow these steps:

    1. Click the Start button, point to settings, and then click Printers.
    2. Double-click the add printer icon.
    3. Click the next button.
    4. When you are prompted "How is this printer attached to your computer? Click the local printer option button, and then click Next.
    5. In the manufacturers box, click Generic. In the Printers box, click generic/text only, and then click Next.
    6. In the available Ports box, click FILE, and then click Next.
    7. When you are prompted "do you want that your Windows-based programs to use this printer as the default printer?" click the no option button, and then click Next.
    8. When you are guests "would you like to print a test page?" click the no option button, and then click the Finish button.

    3. use the Microsoft XPS Document Writer, which may already be installed on your computer.  "XPS" was Microsoft's attempt to compete with Adobe PDF.  He did not.  Unfortunately, the only way to view a document produced by the XPS Document Writer is using the Microsoft XPS Viewer.

  • Generation error message PDF: cannot open the file for the generation of a frame (Version 7.2) PDF book

    Hello

    I'm transforming a book in PDF and I get the error message unable to open a file (... < Filename > FM) and the dialog box unavailable fonts also appears. The tricky thing is that I converted the same book in PDF just a couple of days. Now, when I tried to do it again, I'm getting the above mentioned error message. I have tried if you deselect the file > Prefrences > General > remember checkbox missing fonts too. However, it did not help to generate the PDF file. I will be grateful if someone offers a workaround solution for this issue. Thanks in advance.

    Usually, deselection Remember lack of fonts work.

    The missing fonts message when you or FrameMaker opens the file. The solution is to open all the files in the book, or at least those with the "missing" font, clear the message for each file. Now print the book in PDF format, while keeping open files. It usually works because you already erased the messages of missing fonts.

  • A problem with cc libraries "the file does not exist, you may not, or the file may be in use by another application".

    I'm working on our catalogue on INDesign CC 2015, I have a links to my libraries, I worked every day without any problem. I work on a Mac and Win system, I put the file on my disk hard or on files of cc.

    2 days ago, I opened the file and as a result with any missed links, when I tried to re-link on my library the program shown Indesign files missed this message "the file does not exist, you may not, or the file may be in use by another application", I contacted Italian cat Adobe they suggested me to change the name of the file I did but nothing happened, they suggested to create a new owner of the computer, but it did not work because I work within a team and the file is opened to others of collaboration. I have 333 links so what I shell do? Please help me, I have to finish this work, we need print it out as soon as possible.

    I had this problem after an Indesign file that we've been working on the opening of my colleague. She has made a few changes and then when I went back to work on the file of the library of all the links were broken and I had him "you don't have to leave."

    I've corrected the problems by opening Illustrator and rename the library. InDesign revived and everything from the library was connected properly.

  • Error message "unable to apply the new theme.

    A few days ago my themes worked well in Adobe Captivate 7.  I created a custom theme and now I see again the themes preloaded in the themes Panel, but when I click on a theme, I get the same error message "Failed to apply the new theme" any theme choose what project I am, or if it is a new or existing project.

    When I go to the slide master it shows some pre-series either.

    I checked my Adobe Captivate theme folder and it seems that the only thing there are skins now (although I'm not sure of what was there before).  I don't know how simply disappeared.  I even tried to uninstall / reinstall the product and for some reason, it does not.

    If you are on Windows, it is pretty easy.

    Close Captivate

    Right-click on the shortcut and look at the properties.

    Opinion on the properties is a button to open the location. Click it, and Windows Explorer opens.

    Starting location in the Solution Explorer, open the folder Utils.

    Double-click the CleanPreferencesWin.bat file. (Note that you can not see the part .bat, according to your settings in Windows)

    Now close the dialog box and restart Captivate.

    See you soon... Rick
