How can I clear the cache of the computer

I want to erase the "cache" of my computer.  I know that I've done in the past... I just can't remember where to go for this.  I have Windows XP, service pack 3.

Thank you
Cathy

Windows has a lot of files "cache" icon hidden caches of file in the Internet Explorer cache.  Without knowing that we you speak (or why you want to do this), it is difficult to answer.

The expression "clear the cache" is usually used as it applies to Internet Explorer.  If this is the cache that you want to remove, try this link:
"How to remove the contents of the temporary Internet files folder.
   <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/260897 >

In the event that you reference in the pagefile, try this link:
"How to clear the Windows pagefile during shutdown"
   <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314834 >

If it is a different cache, let know us...

  • How can I clear the shift registers of sub for loop for each iteration of a larger loop?

    Hello

    I write a program to concatenate multiple text files.  However, I need to treat each column individually before they are concatenated.  I use one for a loop at normalze 6 columns choice the largest loop of concatenation.  However, the shift registers store data from previous iterations of the larger loop.  How can I clear the shift registers of the void loop based on the iteration of the larger loop?

    Thanks in advance!

    OK, that's fine. are there headers?

    In all cases, all you need to do is to place all of the 2D array in the shift register of the inner loop, iterate over the columns relevant to be normaized (use 'index array' to get the column it normalize, put it to help to "replace the subset of table".) You probably want to initialize the outer loop shift register. Use then "building the table" added to the beginning or the data of each file sets.

  • How can I clear the paper jam in my printer

    Original title: Deskjet printer

    How can I clear the paper jam in my printer?

    Hello Janet,.

    Let me ask you;

    • What is the brand and model of the printer?
    • Do you have the manual of the printer with you?

    The following factors can cause paper jams:

    1. paper loaded properly in the paper tray.

    2 rolls of paper damaged or dirty.

    3. torn, crumpled or wet paper loaded in the paper tray.

    4. the access door back or double-sided (duplexer) printing accessory cannot be closed or is not locked in place.

    5 paper was added to a stack already in the status bar.
    The status bar contained more than one type of paper.

    6. torn pieces of paper from a previous jam are stuck in the product.

    7. the status bar is too full.

    8. If printing on an envelope, the envelope edges are bent.

    To avoid damage to the printer, see the documentation that came with the printer to see how to remove paper jams. Function of the printer, and where the problem is occurring, you might want to try one of the following options:

    • Go to the printer, the arrival of mail in the State or the display on the printer area that might tell you where the problem occurred, and then complete steps provided to remove the paper jam. If the printer does not display an information about the problem, check the information that came with the printer. If the printer is connected to a network domain, contact a system administrator or your company support desk.

    • Some printers offer a button that you can press on and hold, or paper feed another option that you can use to try to get the paper without damaging the printer.

    • You may need to open the printer casing and remove the paper that is the cause of the problem. Before do you, check the documentation that came with the printer to see if you put off the printer or take other measures to prevent injury to yourself or damage to the printer.

      You should also check if the printer box opening will result in the invalidity of the guarantee or any agreement to repair that you bought or supplied with the printer. For more information on the agreements, check the detail information and manufacturer supplied with the printer.

    If the problem persists, use the printer to help manual or contact the manufacturer of the printer to help.

    Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

    Hi Phil.Ganchev,
     
    Using a laptop or a desktop computer?
     
    The reason for this question is, if you have a plugged AC adapter you must set power accordingly as opposed to laptop settings battery operated.
     
    I suggest you head over to the power settings and create your own power management.
     
    a. power by clicking on the Start button, open the Options click on the Control Panel, clicking system and security, and then clicking Power Options.

    (b) according to the plan you want to change, click on change plan settings.

    c. on the parameters of change in the plan page, choose "Put the computer to sleep" that you want to use when your computer is running on battery (if applicable) and when it is plugged.
    (Change in 5 minutes for the batteries and sector)
