I need to clean the registry because it has not been done in a long time.

I need to clean the registry because it has not been done in a long time.  I can't find any software cleaner that cleans all teasers just identify errors and clean up maybe 3 things, but you need to buy to do it all.

What can I do?

Do not.  He didn't need it and even if you deleted 1000 things from him (doubtful) it would make little or no impact on performance.

If you don't understand the registry enough to know what to erase manually or how to add things yourself, etc. - using a tool that almost arbitrarily find the things that are supposed to be orphaned or not necessary and confidence (for some reason any) can lead to a system of death.

If you just * have to * ("it's a moral imperative") and then use that integrated with CCleaner.  I generally recommend not even consider using its registry "cleaning" component - but in the many times I used to analyze and find things and go through them manually before I remove them (at least - I've seen ~ 250 entries, he suggested to get rid of and even in this case, my manual check led me to delete all and there was no adverse) I didn't it go wrong.  If you * MUST * do it, use it and save your changes, so you might be able to roll back.  Before do you all - make sure your backups are in order.

Want generally cleaning XP and maybe actually get a performance gain?

How to use disk cleanup

You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

-Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
-Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
-Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
2. click on the System Restore tab.
3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

-Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
-Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
-On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
-Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
-Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
-Click OK.
-Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
-Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

You can use an application that scans your system for the log files and temporary files and use it to get rid of those who:

While probably not 100% necessary-, it is probably a good idea at this time to ensure that you continue to get the updates you need.  This will help you ensure that your system update is ready to do it for you.

Download and run the MSRT tool manually:

Reset.

Download/install the latest program Windows installation (for your operating system):

(Download and save it to your desktop, run it.)

Reset.

and...

Download the latest version of Windows Update (x 86) agent here:
http://go.Microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=91237
... and save it to the root of your C:\ drive. After you register on the root of the C:\ drive, follow these steps:

Close all Internet Explorer Windows and other applications.

AutoScan--> RUN and type:
%SystemDrive%\windowsupdateagent30-x86.exe /WUFORCE
--> Click OK.

(If asked, select 'Run'). --> Click on NEXT--> select 'I agree' and click NEXT--> where he completed the installation, click "Finish"...

Reset.

Now reset your Windows with this FixIt components update (you * NOT * use the aggressive version):

Reset.

Now that your system is generally free of malicious software (assuming you have an AntiVirus application), you've cleaned the "additional applications" that could be running and picking up your precious memory and the processor, you have authorized out of valuable and makes disk space as there are no problems with the drive itself and your Windows Update components are updates and should work fine - it is only only one other thing you pouvez wish to make:

Get and install the hardware device last drivers for your system hardware/system manufacturers support and/or download web site.

If you want, come back and let us know a bit more information on your system - particularly the brand / model of the system, you have - and maybe someone here can guide you to the place s x of law to this end.  This isn't 100% necessary - but I'd be willing to bet that you would gain some performance and features in making this part.

    Yes, that sounds like a problem of layers.  If the area that you use to define the source of duplication is a transparent area on one of your layers, it will not work.  Released from the Palette layers, then make sure that you use the area of the image (and not the mask area) - if the area of the image on the layer is active, it will have a border.

    Why is - this happens when I open documents using Mac advertising agency and I'm on PC?

    Hi Mikael,

    files have been archived in archive zip-file when transferred via the ftp protocol? I guess, not.

    If the files were already placed in a document, InDesign on the agency side the following workflow might be the solution:

    Office on Mac OSX:

    1 package the InDesign document, as well as placed images and fonts of the necessary document with InDesign packing device.

    2. the folder packed in a zip zip file.

    3. download the zip file to an ftp server

    You on Windows:

    1. download the zipfile to your own workload.

    2 unzip the zip on your workload. Do not delete the zip file.

    3. rename the folder of the package to fit your scheme of naming of jobs (option)

    4 rename the InDesign document to adapt to your schema naming of jobs (option)

    5. open the InDesign file in the packed file.

    Do not move or save somewhere else.

    Alternative:

    Work with Dropbox to share documents on a shared volume of Dropbox, if documents must move forward and backward between you and the Agency.
