How to choose the disk defrag for several devices in windows? Using Norton 360 do now.

Hello.

I was wondering if in Win XP or Vista, is there a way to disk defragment multiple devices?

I go in disk defrag at the moment and can only do one disc at a time. I have run more than one player internal (and some external drives). So I need a bit of an automated process to turn it on and leave it alone. I use this option in Norton 360, it works fine as far as I can tell. But I guess that a windows application is more accurate or complete.

Dual boot: Xp Home Edition 32-bit/Vista Home Premium 32-bit, portable: Vista Home Premium 64-bit.

Thank you.

Hello

The version of the Disk Defragmenter MMC console is provided with Windows XP this the following limitations:
a. it can defragment only local volumes.
b. it can defragment only one volume at a time.
c. it cannot defragment one volume while it is an another scan.
d. it cannot be scheduled. If you need schedule disk defragmentation, use the Defrag.exe command-line tool.

  • HP pavilion 15-e034tx: how to choose the right RAM for laptop

    How to choose the right RAM for my laptop (Pavilion 15-e034tx). I know I should buy DDR3 ram.

    Are there other factors should I consider when buying one? I got 2 slots for ram, which od these combos are possible?

    1-4 + 4 GB
    2-4 GB + 8 GB
    3-8 GB + 8 GB

    Thank you

    From the Manual:

    Two customer accessible/upgradable memory module slots

    Support for dual channel DDR3L (1600 MHz)

    Support 8192 MB RAM system in the following configurations:

    8192 MB (8192 MB × 1, × 4096 MB 2)

    See page 53 for instructions. Memory access is easy via the service Panel. This is the part number for the approved 4 HP concert module:

    A 8 GB module is listed in the manual, and it's a 3rd generation of processor i5 I suspect 2 x 8 = 16 concerts would work, but strictly following the manual your only option is to add a 4 GB for a total of 8. Most users really not more 8 GB and adding a second identical module will allow two-channel operation, so you should see a noticeable jump in the overall performance.

  • Error "Windows has encountered a problem installing the software driver for your device." Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error trying to install it.

    So I got a wireless mouse for my first time and it won't even install on my computer. It isn't the mouse because I tried other wireless mice and none of them work. In my device under other devices Manager there are only 2 USB receivers listed with question marks next to them. It is said that they can not find the drivers for the device. Then under my HIDDEN I tried to update the HID-compliant device and the USB input device, nor able to update. This is the message I get.  Windows encountered a problem installing the software driver for your device. Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error trying to install it. Peripheral HID-compliant, the system cannot find the specified file. I already contacted EVGA about the issue, because there is where I got my motherboard, but they said to contact Microsoft and I didn't really want to pay 50 dollars to send them an email. That's all just ridiculous.

    Well, I found the solution, just in case anyone has the same problem.  Apparently some day caused Wireless does not work on several computers. So you go into Manager for all of these research and device drivers manually. Then, you look for in C/windows/winsxs. Then the wireless mouse/keyboard should work.

  • Error installation software device driver for removable devices in Windows Vista x 64

    I have Windows Vista x 64 installed on my PC and nVidia Forceware motherboard and graphic cards.

    When I plug in any removable drive into my USB 2.0 port, Windows starts the installation of the device driver software and then sees it as an unknown device. The dialog where he asks me if I want to 'locate and install driver software', 'Ask Me later' or 'don't show this message for this device.

    I select the recommended option: "locate and install driver software.

    I click 'Continue' when Windows asks me permission to continue.

    Then, when the execution of the installer of the software in the bottom right of my screen, the installation of driver software for device, it shows "unidentified device failed.

    Then another window pops up saying this:

    "Found New Hardware - device unknown".

    Windows encountered a problem installing the software driver for your device

    Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error trying to install it.

    Kodak

    An error occurred during the installation of the device:

    The driver for this device is missing a necessary entry. Maybe it's because the file INF was written for Windows 95 or later. Contact your hardware vendor.

    If you know the manufacturer of your device, you can visit their website and check the support section for driver software. »

    That's what he does when I'm trying to connect my Kodak Easyshare M550 digital camera. I would go ahead and contact Kodak, but the problem seems to extend to ANY removable device on my computer.

    For example, I have a Lexar Flashdrive. When I plug it into my USB 2.0 port, it Windows says the following:

    "Windows needs to install driver software for your USB Flash Drive", etc...

    'Install the device driver software', 'USB Flash Drive search Windows Update'...

    Then a window opens asking me to "insert the disk that came with your USB key. Problem is that no driver disk not supplied with the hardware that Windows Vista is supposed to come with the drivers. I know this because the camera and usb flash drive worked very well until I reinstalled Windows Vista on my new hard drive (new installation, because my old hard drive crashed) and I've NEVER had to install device drivers for Windows to recognize it as a removable drive and operate automatically.

    Also, I installed Daemon Tools Lite and I had to manually "Update" the device driver to point to the "Windows\INF" folder in my hard drive, after copying the cdrom files needed for the specific subfolders for windows to let the program assign a drive letter for the drive virtual it creates.

    I think that perhaps not all device drivers have been installed when I installed Windows Vista, this time. If that's the problem, I don't know how that could happen, nor how to fix it, but I really prefer to find a way to solve this problem without reinstalling Windows Vista again. I don't mind not manually install the drivers as long as someone can show me what files to copy and where to find them on the Windows Vista disk that I bought at Microsoft. I KNOW that Windows HAS come with these drivers.

    If anyone knows how I can fix this, please tell me, because it's ridiculous to not be able to use any removable device readers (except for the use of all Flash drives). Thanks in advance.

    I know it can be frustrating to solve problems.
