Get the message that the recovery file "D" is short on space and must be cleaned
On computer turning on and repeatedly throughout its operation, a window at the bottom right opens and informs me that file Recovery "D" is short on space and needs to be cleaned. I followed the instructions and another window opens and informs me that there are zero byte to be retrieved. I went into the "D" file and it reflects 12 MB of 2.2 GB. How can I clean this file and what happens if I can't get it cleaned? Justin
Contact Dell at the above link concerning their recovery Partition.
If you make a mistake in the Dell recovery Partition, you ruin your chances to reinstall Vista in case of system crash, without having to buy their share recovery disks.
See you soon.

file HAL.dll
When I start my computer I get a message that says that the file\system32\hal.dll. is damaged or missing. Please reinstall a copy of the file. I have the original Windows XP CD and I tried to re - install, but it will not go beyond the implementation of window. I can't sign in to windows. How can I reintall this file? It's extremely likely that you will need to replace the hal.dll and since there are seven files on the XP installation CD that will extend into hal.dll, which would you choose? It depends on your hardware, but it is extremely likely that the problem (did I already say that?). I've never had to replace a file hal.dll for this problem.
The real problem is most likely that XP just can not find the file because of a file system corruption or a file c:\boot.ini afflicted.
For this error, I would always be first boot from the XP Recovery Console and sometimes run a chkdsk-r that will fix things right to the top.
If the chkdsk /r is clean and you have the same problem, and then re-create your c:\boot.ini file but rename the old one first so you don't build on top of those afflicted - this tidbit is absent from MS KB article that assumes too.
You can do all this in the XP Recovery Console, but do go through these methods in this article and see how you go.
For example, method 1 will not work if your system does not start. You may have more luck with other "methods".
If that doesn't work, then I suggest to provide a little more information about your system:
Since the Microsoft Answers forum does not have any kind of information system request when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system. Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.
Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.
Provide information on your system, the better you can:
What is your system brand and model?
What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?
Your system have IDE or SATA disks?
Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..
The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination? (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)
The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?
You have a real installation CD bootable XP which is the same Service Pack as your installed Service Pack? (this is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?
If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

I wonder if what's on my hard drive and if what Win Explorer is on my hard drive are two different things.
If I do a search in Win Explorer to "purple", I get a number of results.
(To search for a file, I am in the word "Purple" in the search field in the upper right Win Explorer and pressing the "Enter" button).There are a couple of JPG files that I wonder about the search results.
One example is called "purple_flowers.jpg".
When I double-click this file in the search results to open it, my paint program opens and gives me a message that the directory is not found. If I use MS Paint to try and open it by double-clicking on the file and selecting "open with...". MS Paint", I get a message that the directory is not valid.The location of the directory on the error message is the blue 'Images' folder for my user. But, when I opened this file, I don't have a file with that name in this directory. The same thing happens with another JPG file, called "octopus.jpg" when I search the word 'Octopus '.
Is this something messed up between what I have on my hard drive and think what Win Explorer is on my hard drive?
How can I fix?
Something must be reset in Win Explorer?I could have the JPG files with these names at the same time. I had a large library of images for a project, but I deleted it.
(I tried to turn on the option to show hidden files in this directory, but that did not help).Imane:
I thank very you much for that answer.
But it seems to have stumbled on the solution:Strangely, this worked:
(Maybe you know why).
I moved the files in my blue images folder in another folder, delete the folder images blue, emptied the Recycle Bin and rebooted my computer.
When my computer has finished its startup routines, my folder of photos blue was there! And he had the shortcut to the folder 'Sample Pictures' inside.
When I searched "the Octopus" and "purple", I no longer saw these JPG files in the search results.
I don't really know what happened, but I thought that after these results just in case someone else knows this.I'll read and watch in your information. I don't want to know more about what is happening in my computer.

Hold down the CTRL key and click on Lightroom, click on read the information and click the permissions tab.
Provide the permissions to read and write to your identifier and then close.

Hello
I have a laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. The HARD drive is configured to have a small partition for reserved system, Partition C for the system and the Partiton E for my files. D drive is the DVD ROM Drive.
Very occasionally when I try to open the my computer Explorer window is white and I get a message that I need to format the drive F. I did not have a permanent Drive F and when this happened had no other connected devices.
Drive F is often used, as are other drive letters, by various devices from time to time, such as external hard drives, Flash, my TomTom SatNav players, camera, readers of cards etc.
Can someone explain why this happens and if I can do something to stop what is happening in the future?

I often receive an email that contains more than 10 images (attachments) but when I get this message, I can't as a pop up comes up and tells me that I must remove some of the attachments that would destroy a part of the message. What should I do to correct this?
The images may be too large to send massively as they must be encoded to send by e-mail, and this coding can add as much as 40% of the size of the message. You can resize to fit the web by reducing their dots per inch to 96 (screen resolution) and then saving them as a compressed jpeg files. IrfanView (www.irfanview.com - free) will do this for you.
You can also try Message | To send as an attachment and see if it goes through.
