  Unfortunately, both a chkdsk (check disk) and Defrag are high level utility that correct problems with the file system.

  most importantly, windows you cannot defragment if 1) there is no free space on the disk and 2) if the file system is dirty.

  so if you're stuck with an incomplete defragmentation, it's a serious problem.

  If, however, you have not been able to run a defragmentation because you run a check disk (chkdsk), then you're ok for now.

  to run a disk check, open windows Explorer / my computer.

  then right-click on the drive letter, select Properties, then go to the Tools tab and then to initialize the control disc function.

  by the way, don't know why you want to c ++.   Remember that you have a netbook with limited resources and not a full blown computer.  I would Setup not all that kind of public services on the small machine of high-level programming.

  Finally, you can get information on your netbook by looking at the sticker or label on it or by running a utility that gives you information on your machine.

  It is important for you to know the number of brand and model of your machine because there is a lot of information, how to, faq, patches and updates to their homesite.

  There are several approaches. I will recommend who should be very
  easy to use:

  Buy a USB key (they are cheap) and put all the files
  you want on it and remove the hard drive (including the)
  the trash). Plug the USB in when you want to use the
  files; Remove when finished it and keep the USB place
  inaccessible to him.

  Make sure the USB is big enough for all files now
  with a certain margin to add additional files.

  • Have you noticed a Windows Update, the installation of the video drivers?

  See the Windows updates are installed
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/see-which-Windows-updates-are-installed

  Possible reason for this behavior:
  I suspect that a third-party application to start conflicts and it translates into changing the resolution. Once you got the correct resolution after re-installing the drivers set the computer to clean up state of startup and then check if the resolution changes. In this way, we can use the approach 50 / 50 to find contradictory application the cause.

  How to find the conflicting application:

  See the article below for instructions on how to start your computer in a clean boot state. How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

  Note: When the diagnosis is complete, don't forget to reset your computer to normal startup. Follow step 7 in the above article.

  Similar was also mentioned in the thread below; in this case, the webcam software was causing the conflict.

• How and when the computer turns off automatically?

  Listen to internet radio, Sys Pref > saving energy on the default setting, wake up and radio program cut.

  This is great... .buth how and when the computer turns off?  When I reopen it wifi comes back, I'm correct when she stops she also turns off wifi?

  Hello allan299,

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  According to your post, I see that you have any questions on how and when your computer shuts down, and how the WiFi on your Mac is affected. I know it's nice to be able to properly manage what happens when your computer stops and starts in mode 'sleep'. I'm happy to help you find the best resolution.

  You're right, when your computer stops completely it will turn the Wi - Fi. If you enable the wake for network access, Wi - Fi remains lit, and you can access shared resources on your computer, such as printers or iTunes shared playlists even when your computer is in "sleep". Definition of a calendar closing and start on your Mac can also be useful.

  Check out the following resources that will help the set options that control the energy use of your computer, sleep, and wake-up times for your Mac and the calendar from your Mac to turn on or turn off or go to sleep:

  OS X Yosemite: energy saver Preferences

  OS X Yosemite: set sleep and wake up on time for your Mac

  OS X Yosemite: A schedule for your Mac to turn on or turn off or go to sleep

  Best regards.

• How to LOCK the search bar?

  Does anyone know how to lock the search bar so that it does not disappear whenever I press CTRL-F?

  Also any ideas on how I can get it to stop auto skin to the top of the page, or at the very least, a "ding", after reaching the bottom of the page?

  Thank you

  Hello Chaosdruid, This is the correct behavior, ctrl + f to open the search bar, try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that disables some settings and disables most Add-ons (extensions and themes).

  (If you are using an additional theme, place you in default theme.)

  If Firefox is open, you can restart in Mode without failure of Firefox in the Help menu by clicking on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item:

  

  If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:

  • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
  • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
    (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

  Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

  

  If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. Please follow the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

  To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

  Thank you

• Locking the computer on the lid close?

  Microsoft will never include the option 'lock the computer' as an action to close the cover in their operating systems? The current options are only 'status quo', "shut down", "hibernate" and "sleep". People have asked for this year. It is very easy to do under Linux. Why Microsoft cannot accomplish this?
  1) go to regedit > HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\Power
  (2) right click > new > DWORD (32-bit)
  (3) change the name to AwayModeEnabled
  (4) select > right click > change the value (hexadecimal) 1
  5) go to the Power Options settings page and change the action close the lid to sleep.
  It worked for me!
