How to delete Windows.old (Window Vista) created by the Installation of Windows 7

Hello community,

I would like to delete Window.old, which is created in Windows Vista with Windows 7 installation.  When I try to delete the file, a dialog box appears and indicates that "I need permission from the SYSTEM to perform the requested action. How can I remove this file from the hard drive? Your ideas are greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

    Please do not respond with standard article which sends you to the disk cleanup utility. There is an article somewhere that answers this question and I can't find any. I know there are 3 commands from command line I just write, I don't remember them.

  • How to superimpose a partially transparent image (created by the user RGB) on a grab image acquired (I16 in grayscale) session in a while loop?

    Hello

    I'm trying to superimpose a partially transparent Alpha, RGB image, which I have already created through manipulation of pixels on an image in grayscale I16.  I16 image is acquired grab and RGB is a file location.  So my problem is that when I try to add (IMAQ) images, IMAQ add.vi gives me an error of type incompatible image.  I understand that these are different types of images; but I need to find a work-a-round in order to get the information from color to grayscale during a frame grab session information.  This frame grab is quite awhile so it runs a bit slow which is correct loop.

    I already overlaid on an image I16 RGB.  However, the two images in this instance is called from a location file and not a capture session.  Now, I need a new vi which will overlap the file created on the images of the capture session.

    If any addition information is needed, please do not hesitate to ask.  This situation is a little difficult to explain.

    Thank you for your help,

  • How can I transfer OR-MAX configuration files during the installation of the application?

    I install my application on a PC that has no software EITHER.  The installation installs LV Run-Time and NO-DAQmx, OR MAX, but MAX configuration is the default value.  I use a USB DAQ.  I know that I can export the correct MAX configuration file but I don't know where to put it on the PC so that he sees MAX.

    Thank you.

    If you choose to include the harware config when you create the installation program, then you do not have to worry where it is placed and during the installation process, MAX on the new pc will attempt to import it

    If you want to manually copy the configuration on the new pc, put it anywhere you want. You must use the file > import the max function in order to use the new configuration.
