Full drive C on Vista

I have a recurring problem that my C drive is completely filled, even if I deleted almost all the separate E and an external HD player data files. The user of the main memory is the "Appdata" folder in 'users', which represents almost 1/2 the C player's memory. The cuprit is 'Outlook', is it possible to move this E drive or on an external drive?  Is it easy to replace the H/D with a larger? Should the system be completely Formated etc.?

Hi Mark,

You did not say if Outlook is Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express (Outlook Express is not available under Vista but there are solutions available to add it to the Vista, where the inclusion of the link to instructions below). If you do not have Outlook Express and then ignore the link kb/175037 below. Anyway one of the links below may help you move storage folders to a different drive/partition.

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/175037

Replacing the hard drive is relatively easy so you know what you are doing the new drive should be the 'master' and any secondary drive the "slave".  The new disk, of course, will have formatting and you need to reinstall your operating system and other programs.

I would also check your system restore points. See these links in my Web site.

You can activate the http://vistasupport.mvps.org/turn_off_system_restore.htm system restore and then back on to purge restore points or, Alternatively, you can deacrease storage space available for the system restorehttp://vistasupport.mvps.org/decrease_storage_space_allocated_to_system_restore.htm

  • Runnning BACK full screen in Windows Vista

    I try to open and read some of my old school games, but I am unable to get the screen BACK to run full-screen mode.  I have no idea what to do from here.  I think I'm under the 32-bit version of Vista.

    Hello

    Welcome to Microsoft Windows 7 answers Forum!

    The problem occurs because the Windows device drivers support all video modes BACK running. Windows device drivers are based on the Mode operating system display driver. You must contact the manufacturer of the driver or display adapter to get help.

    Hello

    Here are the different methods to reinstall Vista; See suits you the method...

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  • 1536 LaserJet MFP: Installing the full driver software for LaserJet 1536 MFP

    I've recently updated (?) from Windows 7 to Windows 10.  At first, that everything worked well.  However, I started to get more notifications and error messages that various HP software or files did not work properly whenever I booted the computer or printed.  To try to solve the problem, I tried to download and reinstall the complete driver package.

    Everything seems to work fine until I asked me to connect the printer.  The printer is detected immediately and the process of initialization (before installing) proceeds for several minutes until it got to 99%.  At this point, it remains at 99% for a long time and gives me an error message stop the installation process.

    I managed to install a basic printer driver using Device Manager and update of Windows, but this driver doesn't provide limited scanning capabilities.  I really need the HP TWAIN driver scanner that comes with the complete package so I can scan from my document feeder and have 8.5 "x 11" paper scan as paper 8.5 x 11 inches (not 8.5x14).

    How do I setup beyond this 99% error process?

    Thanks in advance!

    Found the answer to my own question.  Just in case someone else has a similar problem, when subsequently installing full driver, you will receive a list of items that will be installed.  Choose "Customize".  Deselect "HP Toolbox."  Continue with the installation.  When I did, everything has been installed correctly, including the scanner of HP Twain driver.

  • FAT32 formatting for 500 GB Seagate external hard drive using Windows Vista

    How to format FAT32 file system for 500 GB Seagate external hard drive using Windows Vista?

    Hi MVRMVR,

    Windows will work generally only format a drive in FAT 32 if it has a capacity of 32GB, no more. To format in FAT32, Yes, would need to create multiple partitions. This, of course, you don't want to do.

    I have not tried to format a large drive in FAT 32 but I guess that any third-party partitioning software (Acronis, Paragon etc.) would be able to do it without any problem. Alternatively you can do it from the Windows command prompt. For more details, see the link below:
