username: bottomtime - e-mail: * address email is removed from the privacy *

Hello

Recognizing the valuable suggestion provided by Jose Antonio Ponton Posada on 13 April, I suggest you follow the steps mentioned below for faster results.

Rename the DataStore folder in the software distribution folder:

1. click on the 'Start' menu on the main screen of Microsoft Windows. Select all programs to access all the programs and options available on the system.

2. Select "Run" in the Windows menu. A box will appear that gives you the ability to open and run a specific folder

3. Enter the following '% windir%\SoftwareDistribution\' in the menu 'run '. You are then taken to the section of the Distribution of software detected on your computer

4. open the folder "data store". This folder contains all the files associated with the Windows updates, run in the past. To clear the history, you need to delete all the contents of this folder

Restart your computer and you will have a clear history of Windows Update.

  • How to remove, head clean print Photosmart C6380. 6515 Photosmart ink cartridge compatibility

    I had found information several months ago on how to remove and clean the print head, but I can't find it now.  I replaced the Photosmart C6380 with a 6515 Photosmart because when the 6380 stopped working I had to buy a large amount of ink and the 6515 used the same ink cartridge #.  However, the 6515 will not accept the cartridges with the error message they are an older generation.  I think that if the cartrides were not compatible, a number of different cartridge should be used.  So now, I want to try to solve the problem with the C6380 printhead, so I don't have to trash my entire ink supply.

    Here is a document on how to clean the contacts on the cartridges themselves.

    I think that the removal of the print head and of cleaning you're wanting is in this post here.

    Please note that soaking the print head should only be performed on the print heads that are out of warranty. Check that warranty end date to the printhead located by the contacts on the print head to make sure he went from warranty. The reason I put in custody which is a printhead soaking, a guarantee will be cancelled.

  • How to remove or clean the server taken out of service/absence list

    In the "Server" application, whenever it is launched, it displays a list of servers that have either been downgraded or does not exist (eg..) (local).

    Is there a way to clean this list?

    Quit the application server, and then open the XML file

    ~/Library/preferences/com. Apple.Server.v4.plist

    with a text editor like BBEdit/TextWrangler or with nano in the Terminal. (the file is always named v4 - even if your.app is v5.x)

    In this file, you will find a beginning of area with the key 'recent servers"followed by a table, then a dict for all servers in your list.

    Just remove all the areas of the dict to the servers that you want to remove from your list (including < dict > < / dict >), save the file, launch the.app again and there you go.

    The other alternative is, you just rename or delete the file and start from scratch.

    I hope this helps.

  • How to remove photos from all locations (Camera Roll / iCloud / PhotoStream)

    Hi all

    I searched the forums high and low and can't quite find the right answer for what I am trying to accomplish. I'd appreciate really any advice on how to go about this... Let me give you some background info.

    The ecosystem

    -An Apple ID

    -iOS 2 devices (iPhone 6, iPad Mini 3) and a Macbook Pro all connected to the same Apple ID

    -iCloud library active on all devices

    -Transfer to PhotoStream active on all devices

    The problem

    -My local storage iPhone runs out quickly and ideally, I would like to delete photos on the spot, but I would for these photos to be also disappeared everywhere else (iCloud, other devices). I'm not sure that this is even possible, but I was hoping someone may be able to enlighten us and help me out.

    Updates automatically downloaded cannot be reused. Suggest you open the link "View update history" of the icon of the Windows Update control panel and write updates have been downloaded and installed.
    Then download and save them from the Microsoft Download Center .

  • How to remove the trash on my computer dell laptop latitude who has windows xp?

    I am an elderly person not at savvy, computer then pls forgive me for asking what may seem like a stupid question. I need to know how to clear the trash on my laptop. It's a Dell latitude Windows xp. And I thank you all in advance for any help rendered on this!

    There are several possibilities.

    If the file is on a network resource or a removable device like a USB key, just delete Deletes without going through the trash.  It sounds like what is happening in your situation (which is your "DVR photo/video plug and play" device?).

    Look carefully at the message when you press the delete key - he probably said, "Are you sure that you want to delete 'Filename'?" rather than "Are you sure that you want to send 'filename' in the trash?

    Another, less likely, causes:

    If the file is too large, you should get a message saying that the file will not fit in the trash and delete will delete everything without moving to the trash.  I don't think that I've never seen a 'too big' file is to be deleted without the warning message.

    What is "too big"?  By default, the Recycle Bin is set at 10% of the size of your disk (partition).  If you go into my computer, you will see different drives displayed.  In general, you will use 'drive Local (c) '.  If you right-click on this icon and select Properties, you will see the used space, free space and capacity.  Your trash for this default player is 10% of the 'capacity' - but with a catch: he will not exceed 3.99 GB no matter how great the drive.

    You can see the actual amount of the space allocated to the trash by clicking right on it and then select Properties.  Depending on the number of drives in your computer, you can see several tabs here, including a 'Global' tab and one for each individual unit.

    A more even less likely cause:

    In addition to size, the Recycle Bin properties tabs also have a box that says "do not move files to the Recycle Bin.  Delete the files when they are deleted immediately.  I doubt that you have this box checked, because then the behavior you describe should occur for all files, not just some of them.

  • How to perform a clean installation on a Ultrabook using its files of windows 8?

    Pretty easy question answered before, but all the responses that I've seen and I believe, are to have the ISO file downloaded from the store or the disk can he make a file ISO etc...  To which I have neither.

    I just bought a ultrabook and this is my only machine with windows 8, so I won't go buy the digital link in the store just to wipe.  That I'm stuck, it's how to install files on my USB drive and then start a pure install removing the bloatware that supplied with the system?

    As I said, all of the other answers and tutorials seem to assume that you have access to download the DVD or ISO.  Unfortunately I don't have any DVD of the BONE with the ultrabook that would be of help.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Assuming that you have a valid product key to retail for Windows 8, it is possible.

    Go to this link to download the ISO using your retail product key: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/upgrade-product-key-only

    ISO downloaded will be consistent with the architecture of the computer you use to download, IE x 64 iso downloads only on a 64-bit OS x.

    After downloading, the installation program will ask you to save the ISO file on a usb port which make a bootable USB key.
