Increase the memory by deleting the old service paks.

Can I remove the old service paks, updates and free memory on my hard drive?

Can I remove the old service paks, updates and free memory on my hard drive?

Not the way you think about it no doubt.

When you install Windows updates, the system stores the information that can be used if you decide that you want to uninstall this update.  If decide you want to NEVER uninstall the updates, you can delete these folders from $ $NTUninstallKBxxxxxx (though it would be prudent to burn these files on a CD first).  For instructions, seehttp://windowsxp.mvps.org/Hotfix_backup.htm

There are several other things you can do to free up hard disk space, although more sooner rather than later, you should just buy a larger hard drive.  You may be able to add a second hard drive if you have a desktop computer with a vacant drive bay or you can simply replace your existing with a larger hard drive.  Where you replace, you would "clone" existing than newer, bigger hard drive in order to preserve all your applications and data.

In the meantime:

Run Disk Cleanup: start > run > cleanmgr > OK

Make sure that the system restore use not more than about 1 GB. See http://bertk.mvps.org/html/diskspace.html

If you use Hibernation, consider disabling.  It's not earning a lot of disk space: hibernation uses a quantity of disk space equal to the amount of RAM you have.  Control Panel > Power Options > hibernation.

Uninstall applications you do not use.

Download and run JDiskReport (it's free, and you can uninstall it when you're done).  This will show you what files are too much space on your hard drive so that you can decide what, if anything, you are ready to delete (or move to other storage media) in order to save space.

  • Is it safe uninstall the old service packs when new ones are installed?

    Do you see even registered?
     
    In general - you should leave well enough alone when it comes to patches.  Microsoft does a job just to install only the parts of a patch which aren't already in place - so, even if you started without service pack, got SP1, SP2 and SP3 as well as 100 + post-SP3 fixes - this is not as if the use of space was exactly cumulative...  The overlap himself would have worked.

  • Can't seem to increase the end service disc.

    OK guys, I can't resize the XP vm that was created a few months earlier.

    At the moment there are no snapshots:

    I made sure that there is not in the data store:

    I tried to create a data store and delete for sure, and yet I can't resize it.  There are other virtual machines on this host.  A windows 2008 Server and it can be resized, so I know this isn't a thing of role permissions:

    I'm under ESXi 4.1, vCenter Server Version 4.1.0 build Vshpere 345043 and Vsphere Client Version 4.1.0 build 345043.  Any help would be greatly apprieciated.

    This is probably because it is a virtual IDE drive. I recommend that you use the converter to resize the disk and - step 3 - select the Buslogic SCSI controller for the target. In this way, you can resize the virtual disk in the future if necessary.

  • Can I increase the memory on my old Satellite Pro P100?

    I have a Satellite Pro P100 (P6PA4E-002001EN) with only 512 MB of memory and the desire to know if it can be increased and if so what memory should I buy and it is easy to open the machine and adapt?

    Hello

    You can increase the memory on this laptop amazing plu of 4 GB of RAM.

    RAM modules compatible that you can use to upgrade:
    PA3511U - 1 M 51 (Kit of memory 512 MB DDR2-667)
    PA3512U-1M1G (memory 1 GB DDR2-667 Kit)
    PA3513U-1M2G (memory 2 GB DDR2-667 Kit)

    Check the underside of your laptop and there should be probably set with a cover of Ram screw. Remove it and you will have access to the memory locations.

  • Deleting a group to a TDMS file increases the file size

    Hi all

    I was searching for information on how to delete a group in a TDMS file. Apparently this is not a simple task as I thought because firstly, it is necessary to convert the TDMS file in a TOC file, remove the group from the TOC file and finally convert the TDM in PDM file. There is a sample project really nice here (I have attached it in the post anyway!).

    This project works very well. Indeed, I am able to remove the group from the PDM file. However, I realized that perform the deletion process increases the size of the file (about 4 times). If you are viewing the PDM with the PDM file - file Viewer.vi you realize that several strange properties have been added to each channel of all other groups. I assumed that this is partly the cause of the increase in size.

    Anyone know why this is happening?

    I'm using LabVIEW 2014 and I downloaded the project for 2014 LabVIEW.

    Any help is appreciated to higlhy.

    Best regards

    Diego Ballen

    The old way was to read each group that you want to save and write to a new file. The fundamental problem is that TDMS format has been optimized for speed and no memory efficiency, which can cause a lot of complications when you seemingly simple things - like the deletion of data, or reading the data of the file.

    That is why NEITHER came up with these new features. If you're stuck with an earlier version, you can always write your own function to do the same.

  • I want to increase the memory on the 2210CDS Satellite

    I have an old Toshiba Satellite 2210CDS/6.0 I want to give to charity. Until I do, I wanted to increase the memory from 64 MB to 128 MB minimum, because he seems excessive paging of memory under Windows 98, it slows down a lot too.

    The original 64 MB memory module is marked PC100-222-62, Toshiba p/n THLY6480H1FG-80. I ordered since equivalent barrettes memory 128 MB (PC100-222-620) from different sources. They fit well, but the memory is still limited to 64 MB, as evidenced by the page to configure the BIOS and Windows pages 'system '.
    The computer has only one memory location. What I am doing wrong?

    Ruud Hartog

    Hello

    This laptop is very, very, very ;) old

    However, the laptop can be improved up to 160 MB. 64 MB internal memory + 128 MB additional memory module

    The Toshiba recommend using these modules:
    128 MB - PA3005U
    64 MB - PA3004U

    Usually after upgrading the BIOS should automatically recognize the module.
