Full updates from windows computer
I reset my computer to original settings after I had filled the hard drives. Since the reset of all this I ran is updates of windows and drives are 80% full just with the Windows updates. The system is Vista, and readers are 80 GB each. My question is if I can remove the updates? or can I delete old files or service packs? TX
I just do the same thing on a laptop and it took the better part of a day to get all the updates that are installed. It seems that you have two hard disks of 80 GB, is that correct? They are the TWO lots to 80%? Normally, updates affect only the drive C: and not the other. 80% of a 80 GB drive would also be 64 GB which seems high to me. I'm done with less than 50 GB used when I did it, and that includes additional software, I installed. If you have updates downloaded but not installed, you have two copies of everything, so you need to go ahead and install them. That should release at least 10 GB or more. Since you currently have 64 GB used on C:, you will need something more just Windows there. Some of the other things move to another partition, flash, or external hard disk drive. If you have a single hard drive partitioned into two logical drives, you can use a utility like Easeus Partition Master (which is free) to merge and combine the free space at the same time. You have several options to choose from.
I hope this helps. Good luck.

will I lose my files and stored data when I update from windows 7 to windows 8?
will I lose my files and stored data when I update from windows 7 to windows 8?
There is no particular risk to lose anything, if you do an upgrade, rather than a new installation, and if you do it right.
* However *, whenever make you a leap like an upgrade from one version of Windows to another, there is always a risk. Things * can * fool you. So before I do, you should be sure you have a current backup on external support of all important files for you.
And another point. Even if you do not upgrade, it is * always * a risk of losing. So you should be sure you have a current backup on external support of all important files for you * all * time, not just in the moment it takes important steps.

My work PC operating system has been recently updated from Windows XP to Windows 7. An older version of Adobe Acrobat (standard 7) has been installed and reinstalled once the update has been done. I registered it again online but everytime I open an Adobe Acrobat file, a message appears that I need to register even if it is already registered. What can I do to stop this?
Hello
Acrobat 7 is not supported and an older version of Acrobat.
Also, it is not compatible with Windows 7.

I had to update my windows computer and you can no longer open Photoshop cs2. trying to find help with this new system is not easy to use to put it kindly. I downloaded the program and don't have the available key. I tried to sign in but where.
For Photoshop CS2 activation has been reprocessed, so your original drive and the serial number does not work.
As an owner of CS2, Adobe has a copy without activation and serial number, to which you are entitled.
The serial number is to the right of the download link for Windows. You'll need this one, not your old number.

I have r530i samsung that is less than 8 weeks, after that 1 week, a new set of windows udates appeared which caused my Internet to lose. I spoke to my internet provider, between us, we confirmed there was nothing wrong with the connection or otherwise (I was able to access the internet from another PC using the same provider and user name) it was suggesteed downloads had done something for my wirless modem.
I did a complete system restore and it worked just fine.
a few weeks later, the same problem occurred after some updates of windows. Unfortunately the fault can be diagnosed because I can't access the internet? I did a full recharge of the system of 23/10/10, this has worked fine, windows then downloaded updates and my internet access has failed once again so I have disabled the automatic updates and everything seems fine.
all connections work well, I can still see the home hub it won't let me access the help please
Hello
There are various reasons for internet connection doesn't work after installing the update of windows on the computer.
First of all, I would say that you check the update is causing the problem.
To see the updates are installed on your computer
(a) open the updates installed by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, clicking programs, and then r undeprograms and features, click view installed updates.
Once you know the update's KB number then visit the Microsoft Download and put the number in the search box, download and install the update manually after placing the computer in a clean boot state.
http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx
To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.
