  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.

• I'm running out of room on a Pentium 3 computer, volume size 14,30 GB using Windows XP Home Edition

  original title: Windows XP Home Edition

  I'm running out of room on a Pentium 3 computer, volume size 14,30 GB using Windows XP Home Edition. This computer is no longer connected to the internet. I did a 'new' installation of the XP disk in an effort to remove unwanted files, but they remain on the computer, too much space? I have 22% free space (3,19 GB). I have the drivers for 2 printers on the computer, 1 regular printer (.38 MB) and 1 photo (63,63 MB). These are only currently installed programs, I put on the computer after the installation of "new". When I try to use the cleaning disc, the screen says I have 539ko internet temporary files and 32 KB of web client / Publisher temporary files. When I try to view these files, this screen is 'empty' or hidden? If I "check mark" these files and tell the computer I don't know I want to remove them, a screen indicates that they are being deleted (this screen only lasts a fraction of a second)?  but they are stll on the computer. Sometimes it deletes temporary internet files only to "come back" and the size can be different?  I tried to run the Disk Defragmenter (it took a lot of time). When I look at the report, I have a long list of files that it could not defragment? An example would be \ documents and settings------quest-my documents-my... I can't find these files? In addition, the computer is reminding me that I have so many days to activate windows after running the XP disk again. Thank you!

  Do a "new installation" Windows to remove unwanted files, it's a bit like swatting flies with a hammer.  And in your case, the hammer was apparently missed.  And, as you have discovered, you have now re - activate.  I hope that you still have your ID handy product.

  What are the files that are too much space and you want to delete?
  Consider to download and execute JDiskReport, a small utility in Java that will graphically show you what files take up more space on your drive.  In order to do this, however, you need to install Java, available here: http://www.java.com/en/

  Here's how to do a "clean" Windows XP installation, which includes the step of the formatting of the hard drive (otherwise said, the Windows CD not implementing in the form as part of the installation process; you don't need any other disk, diskette or other):

  http://www.theeldergeek.com/xp_pro_install_-_graphic.htm
  http://michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html

  There are important things to think before you do another reinstall.

  Although your computer will probably work after a clean install of Windows XP, some of the features of your material are not available until you install the specific drivers for this hardware (rather than the drivers built into Windows XP).  The most likely problems are the video and audio, but since your computer is very old, it is likely that Windows XP has an enough information on your hardware it will, in fact, work OK.

  Unless the Windows XP CD you already includes Service Pack 3, if you're ever going to connect the computer to the Internet, you must install Service Pack 3 (and subsequent critical updates).  The best way to do is to connect the computer to the Internet and go - only - to http://www.update.microsoft.com , even if you're never going to connect to the Internet, Service Pack 3 may have included updates of Windows features you want to use.

  You type a letter in a word processing program (Microsoft Word, Corel
  WordPerfect, OpenOffice, etc.). Do you have a word processing program
  installed?

  If you have not installed Word processing program, you can use
  WordPad, which ships with Windows. But note that WordPad is a very
  primitive processing program (really more a glorified text)
  Editor in Chief) and gives you much less control over the formatting to a real

• Cannot install Service Pack 2 using Windows Vista Home Edition or anything else on the internet.

  Hello

  I tried to download and install Service Pack 2 using Windows Vista Home Edition, or anything like that on the internet without success. According to me, the key word is internet or a block of Vista from the internet to install anything. Many people here get the same error 80070005 for SP2 as I am, but I think that the problem is with Vista, how the system allows any installs or blocks installed from the internet. I suppose that some are able to go through the download process, but installation is where it does not pass through. There are moments where it seems that the installation of SP2 works, but it will fail eventually. Other times what ever happens to the installation process. The same goes for all other downloads and installs from the internet. I am able to install a program that already exists on the computer, so I know that installs works just not the Internet. Do not send me a link to install because it probably won't last through. I may be able to download but installation will not pass by so that the program will not work. I used the words installation and internet a lot for some reason please take account, when responding.

  Thank you

They insisted that I use Windows XP Professional edition.

• Try to get back to SP2 on windows xp home edition.

  I have windows xp home edition on an old desktop and it is on SP3. I am trying to install a wireless device to take it online. However, the drivers for the devices that are available in New Zealand are only for SP2. (SP3 drivers tells me not yet for these devices to the NZ market yet). I tried to restore to a point in time before SP3 but the pc came back with "unable to restore on the requested date", it could be that since I got the machine in a workshop for a bigger hard drive, they have installed the xp on and updated in SP3, is why the new drive knew SP2. SP2 is not mentioned in the Restore screen calendar. How can I go back to SP2?

  The question may be how the new hard drive has been formatted.  Take a look at the way in which the reader is implemented by clicking Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > double-click on computer management > double-click storage.  Is all the space on the disk are responsible?  If so, take a look at these two documents for your problem:

• How can I change a FRENCH Windows7 Home Edition Premium Operating System in English?

  Hi all

  I just bought a HP laptop Pavilion with this Home Premium French Edition, Windows7 in France.

  I would like to have the operating system in the English language. Please note that it already came with the MUI and LIP pack but despite my efforts to try to have the OP converted into English, it just does not change :-(

  In addition, note that this is an a key QWERTY Board. I can deal with him, but I really wish to have OP in English so I can understand its additional features...

  I want to appreciate someone of you in advance.

  Ringuet

  PS: I went through the forum and messages but no one mentions anything about a WINDOWS7 HOME PREMIUM... Premium?

  Hello

  I've already selected English in my lap top Pack MUI that is came up with, as I said it remains in French despite my several attempts. I have a Premium Home Edition NOT an Ultimate or Enterprise version.

  It seems to me that I have no other choice than to download this Windows Anytime Upgrade... IF I go ahead and download it. It really goes to entirely replace the OP of the French into English?

  Is this software is reliable?  How much does it cost?

  In addition, please note that the digital site that you suggested to me it doesn't seem to work properly. Nevermind the fact that it only works on the full edition and Enterprise Versions of Windows...

  Thanks but no thanks...

  Hi Ramdas67

  The bottom line here is that you cannot use a MUI Language Pack in a Home of Windows 7 version.

  There are 3 third-party programs that say they can do this, but these programs have many problems and they also violate the license agreement for Windows 7 which can cause problems with the activation of the system.

  If the Windows Anytime Upgrade is available in your area, this will be your best option. It is inexpensive and only takes 15 minutes about to finish. There is no installation, it simply unlocks the features that are already on your computer.

  I hope this helps and please let us know how it works for you.

  Thank you for using Windows 7
