  • my C drive is full, how do I know what programs can I remove?

    I know that you can remove some programs, but how do I know what ones I can remove without affecting my computer?

    I know that you can remove some programs, but how do I know what ones I can remove without affecting my computer?

    We cannot comment on what programs you need to remove. In addition, some programs running in the background and removing will raise questions.

    However, you can uninstall programs that have been installed by you. You can go to start-> programs and features-> press enter type. Search for programs that have been installed by you, select them and click on uninstall, individually.
    Once uninstalled, you can install another drive as the installation location.
    But, before you uninstall, go on-> do work right click on the C partition :\-> click Properties. In the Properties dialog box, click Disk Cleanup. In the Disk Cleanup dialog box, click clean up system files. And then click Ok. This will clean the junk files.
  • How can you know what drivers and programs are essential and those that can be deleted without harming my computer?

    Original title: completely clueless

    I'm totally clueless when it comes to computers, but I try very hard to learn. I am using the help section a LOT, but I can't seem to find an answer to the only thing that makes me crazy. How can you know what drivers and programs are essential and those that can be deleted without harming my computer? I have a very basic net accountant I learn on before I screw up a portable more expensive and I do a cleaning on my C and D drives to improve performance because it runs so slow but it tells me I have the drivers who slow down Windows. I would greatky appreciate any assistance from someone who has the patience of a saint and is willing to take the time to explain it to me, in terms laymans. Thanks in advance

    Drivers: you should know what you bought (in your machine) and what * you * want out of it.  If you want stability and things work properly - let alone the drivers.  If you want more performance check (and other games) in the drivers of motherboard chipset and video network from the manufacturers Web site... For more stability stick with the OEM website (HP, Dell, Lenovo - the assembler of the whole machine) and slightly more performance/push the limits (even if they want to work too - so still some stability) - access to websites of its components manufacturer.

    With regard to the programs: you can decide what you use and do not use.  If you are not sure, look it up (Google) or ask.

  • How do I know what RAID controller works the box?

    Using the VMware Compatibility Guide, how do I know what RAID controller works out of the box (no installation necessary driver, no action necessary special) for 5.5 ESXi update 2?

    PS - I initially assumed that if they appear then they work OOB, but there is nothing on the page registration or landing pages of the device that makes this clear.

    Once you click the RAID controller in the HCL, you will see all the supported versions of ESXi with the appropriate driver listed as "inbox" or async". There may be more driver for a specific version, but if one of them is stated as "inbox", it is supposed to work out of the box.

  • How do I know what the maximum number of agents I can put on a hyperic serv

    How do I know what the maximum number of agents I can put on a hyperic server. ?? IM using the built in database on a linux unbuntu 4 cpu system ' s2592 MHZ. 7GB of Ram. I assumed that the
    disk space can be the most important question? Any suggestions or any help to determine when to stop adding customers would be useful. We can use open source, but are also
    talk about the EE version. The Hyperic server type would make a difference in space etc.?

    Disk i/o is probably a bit more critical than the disk space that the DB generally is not larger than 10-15 concerts.

    Ability wise, your system is CPU/RAM.  Disk i/o will probably be your main bottleneck and the thing that will determine the maximum number of agents that can have on the server.

    Splitting of the DB from the HQ server would certainly help in the perspective of General load.  Definitely put the DB a system with several piles of discs (part of a San, fast raid) will help you in the disk i/o.

    If I was trying to answer the same question, I guess that I look at the Scriptures on disk on the DB as starting point, test the drive with systat/iostat or something to see what the drive is capable of in terms of read/write speeds and also look at postgres for slow queries, duration of execution of query, used memory and cpu.  Naturally, I would do the majority of "look at her" go to HQ itself :)

    Thank you!

    Hello JRD02,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I understand that you want to know what graphics driver is used, and whether or not you can disable a specific. Go into Control Panel, then Device Manager. Go to your display adapter section and right click on the one you want to disable, and then select "disable."

    In this way, you can disable what you do not want to use, and you know who is running! One stone two birds

  • Should I delete the programs of 2004? How can you know what is safe to delete?

    Original title: remove programs

    I think I have a virus.  I see on my computer a few applications with and installed as of 2004.  The computer was purchased in 2007.  When I run it in safe mode, it works fine and all applications have a date of 2007 or newer.  Should I delete the programs of 2004? How can you know what is safe to delete?

    Hello

    This is not an indication of malware. Could be those are placed on the
    computer by the manufacturer of the system and that was the date that firstly, they prepared their
    for massive installation, or if they did not set a date and be used arbitrarily.

    =============================================================

    If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
    scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
    resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
    cause.

    No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
    to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
    its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
    extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

    It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
    the regular windows when you can.
