  • 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.

  • First time using Windows 7, files in Windows XP, removable disc in the process of disappearance

    Hello

    Please note my steps and problems in moving from the personal files of my old Windows XP system to my new Windows 7.
    (1) copy of Windows XP hard drvie files to the removable disk (g)
    2) confirmed all files copied to G:
    (3) connect G: in Windows 7 system
    (4) when I go to computer and select the drive, the top-level folder is empty
    (5) under 'Computer' I confirmed 'free space' on G: is less than 'total size' suggests that there are files on the disk
    (6) I reconnect G to the old XP system and note once again that the folder is empty.  IF this isn't just a parameter "display".  Looks like that Win 7 is deleted or archived the files somewhere.
    (7) with my first attempts, I noticed a dumped error log G complain of FAT32 files.  I tried to convert it to NTFS, but it made the unusable disk.  so I changed.
    Is this a possible virus problem?  Some would be with several previous attempts to copy all my files copy and some wouldn't.  I was suspicious of my old XP system so I installed and ran Microsoft Security Essentials.  A MSE scan reported no threats or viruses.  Kaspersky is running on my Win 7 system and similarly reported no problems.
    Any help appreciated.
    Thank you
    Peter.

    Hi Peter,.

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community Forums.

    According to the description, it seems that you are facing problems with the USB that you get an error message that the disk is unusable after formatting using NTFS. I'll be happy to help you with this problem.

    (1) what is the brand and model of the removable disk?

    (2) you see the removable drive with the assigned drive letter in my computer?

    (3) what is the capacity of the removable disk?

    (4) have tried to check with another removable disk?

    (5) you have the backup of the files on the XP computer?

    Wouldn't be a physical damage of removable drive, but with the file system in the removable drive.

    Method 1: I suggest you to format the removable in my computer drive, if it is visible. If the format is not successful, I suggest you to format the removable drive using the command prompt.

    (a) click Start, type cmd, right click and select Run as Administrator.

    (b) type format X: (removable X :) drive letter.

    Method 2: If the problem persists, I suggest you to contact the manufacturer of the removable drive to get help.

    I hope it helps. If you have any questions about Windows in the future, please let us know. We will be happy to help you.

  • I just got a new Windows 7 computer. How I completely restart the entire computer and lose all files, applications, etc., that never came with the computer first?

    * Original title: restart the computer

    I just got a new Windows 7 computer, and it has many applications in this shift makes the apps that I really need. How can I completely restart the computer world and lose all files, applications, etc., that came with the computer first

    If these are apps you added and want more, you can use the functionality of your computer factory restore. Unfortunately, this erases the disk and leave you with a double précis of his State when you turned on for the first time.  Then, you would have to do all the updates of Windows and then install all the programs you want.

    Otherwise, use programs uninstaller (from Control Panel) for each application that you do NOT want to uninstall.
