is a file compression software that works
I recently formatted my 17 GB drive and because of updates I went back up to 3 GB I REALLY need to compress my files (was on FAT32 to NTFS). the NTFS compression feature is useless, does not compress anything

I highly recommend against the compression. It will drastically increase
your risk of losing everything on the disc.
A 17 GB drive is tiny. Everything you do to win the top place (be it
compression or anything else) will be a temporary measure. The only one
real solution to your problem is to buy a larger drive. Fortunately
they are very cheap; You can buy a drive of 320 GB on Amazon.com for
US $75.

is there than a defragmentation software that works on a hard drive to FAT32
i've got 5% of free space on my hard drive and even when I got 15% my defrag software (defragler piriform) would not defragment anything. My drive is 34% fragmented and I want that to unravel ASAP
Most of the defragmenters require at least 20% space in order to run. However, Auslogics Disk Defrag ( http://www.auslogics.com/en/software/disk-defrag/#overview ) says that it is running with "as little as 1% free space available. However, best results is possible if there is at least 10% free space on the disk. "( http://www.auslogics.com/en/software/disk-defrag/#faq ).
Another advantage to Auslogics is that you can select individual files to defragment, possibly freeing up space that you want to run a life decent defrag to the disk set.
On another note, though; If you have only 5% of free space, you might want to consider getting a bigger HARD drive, or (if it is simply a partition) extend system partition to gain more space.

System File Checker detects files from oembios that cannot be repaired
I ran the System File Checker on my computer Dell Dimension, and he found files that cannot be repaired: oembios.dat, oembios.sig and oembios.bin. The computer has Windows XP with Service Pack 3 installed and was purchased new in December 2002. The original XP installation disk that I've ever used, a SP1 is installed.
Event Viewer gave this message for one of these files after run the System File Checker. "The oembios.sig of file protected system could not be restored to its original, valid version. "The file version of the bad file is 0.0.0.1 the specific error code is 0x800b0100 [no signature was present in the subject.]."
Everything works well, and these corrupted files seem to have no effect on the operation of the computer. I even ran a Seagate hard drive diagnostic test, and it passed. These files, compressed copies that are in c:\i386 and on the installation disc, be repaired and properly placed in their place in c:\Windows\System32?
Thank you, Robert. I tried your suggested solutions.
First, I tried expanding oembios.si_ of the CD on the e drive (CD player) after the reboot. But I got this message from the command prompt: "cannot open the input e:oembios.si_ file."
Second, I tried to develop oembios.si_ of the c drive, where I know it exists in c:\i386. Yet once again, I got the same message that the input file cannot be opened.
This has proved to be a sticky problem. Fortunately, my computer still works well. It is just that I do not have corrupt files hidden.

How Microsoft software to work the way we want it to work
Did a search in Google and got on a Microsoft Windows website. went and sign. Then how a know what is happening? You can go completely out and redo your search. Why this question? All my info I can sign in(name/password). After awhile I started to notice some special functions: 1. when I connect, did not find my name-has not found anything I have access to, but the point is also why I'd go to a site Web having the ability to connect but not having don't not have access to my own identity. 2. I had a work of good thought. For the longest now, have been trying to figure out how to copy or cut a file. All this time - whenever I do anything with this stuff gets copied back into the original location whence it. When all of a sudden you have nine files the same-being given that Microsoft put something in their program which is not intended to make you more productive when everything do you is try to figure out what to a a few hours later, I'm steemed! So I found the veto MB or copy buttons on my own witho8ut any help from anyone associated with Microsoft. So, good, good to go! Right? Not really. When you go to my computer - when I move any thing-am, still getting my files copied to my original location after their displacement. 3. someone wrote me to tell me I mustn't know ctrl/select and I do! so do not know what what they means, perhaps a little to the left or right and everything I chose going to copy my files. Am really trying to figure this out - what other functions use control and select? The point is really, what would be the purpose to make this software act like this. Someone gives a dog away and this is the reason why Microsoft software is not so good any more. Am I to get a decoder ring some part-ahhh-those who tried to get their hands on an emblem that burned his hand-does Microsoft image have the Lost Ark or something? I will be the sum is the square with a question, Microsoft is going to ever make the high quality software that works, or we will continue to see peddle them * masquerading as quality software?

Is he so kind of compression software so that I can post great videos?
Know about to download videos on UTUBE, would like to email friends videos of Atlantic ocean, Apple said mail, file to big to email.
Is there a software that will compress the files so can send by e-mail?
Compress of hope is the right term.
Ask about it for many years.
General video formats are already compressed. To compress again will remain futile, in fact they can actually grow larger.
You'll have to move the video to a server like DropBox and then send the link to the other party so that they can download.

Original title: what are the old files Compresssed understand?
During a recent drive clean that I discovered I had 21745 KB of old files compressed - what are compressed old files?
AND is it OK to delete to free up disk space?
Hi Janie,
We need a bit more info here. What you saw and where (or how do you here). XP can compress old files when they were little used. These files must be stored somewhere, and I think that you have found where. Do not delete them. If you went on the cleaning disc in the properties of a hard disk, you see where you can disable this active or disabled, but turn it off takes more space because you don't compress these files more. It can take a long time to turn it off too much because the system must find every file, unzip it save it to the hard drive and do the following. If it runs out of disk space free of it, it will stop and make either but then your hard drive will be very close to full and your entire system will slow down (it takes a good amount of HD to 'play'.Looks like you need more disk space. Get another drive (expensive) or go to disk cleanup and try to compress the entire drive. It will take a lot of time, maybe hours or overnight depending on the working speed and the player. But it's free. Overnight is best. I think you can stop it (read the help on this). Do not turn It Off during the race. Bad move.
Something not clear, go back and ask.

Basically just a list of software that has been uninstalled, but left behind a reference to its own type of file under options/applications.
I also noticed that the ability to save tabs on exit seems to be missing from this version, or am I wrong and there is an option to restore this function. Thanks in advance,
