  Is it safe to defragment with low disk space?

  Hello

  I also see your message here. Please continue posting in the same thread.

  A volume must have at least 15% free space for disk defragmentation Defragment completely and properly. Disk Defragmenter uses this space as a sorting for the fragments of files box. If a volume has less than 15% free space, Disk Defragmenter defragment only partially. To increase the free space on a volume, remove unnecessary files or move them to another disk.

  Please can Hi you help me? arrived at Defrag presario with only 12% of free space is not enough to run frag still don't know useful or useless files please?

  Hello

  You will need to back up data and make room on the hard drive if they want to use the defragmentation. There is no solution to force defragmentation to run with less than 15% free hard disk space.

• System will not defragment because there is not enough free space. I did a disk clean up and cannot dump tons of recently deleted files.

  Believe me, I tried to remove about preprinted text 10 times.  Maybe because I was working from an IPad it wouldn't let me.  I knew it would annoy people, SORRY.  I knew I was going to be loading a lot of info. on an old computer that is running window XP w / SP 3, so I started deleting old files and uninstalling old programs.  I guess I deleted a lot of things and now I can't defragment my hard drive.  There is a lot of memory, but because I can't defragment all of the things that I deleted, I only have 6% free space.  I downloaded a defragmentation. program and who has not really helped.  I ran a disk cleanup as well.  I don't get the other error messages that there is insufficient disk space.  I need to know how to get all the stuff to delete/uninstall on my hard drive, so I can have more free space.

• Update Windows shows about 100 updates important to apply. How would you recommend I do. I'm afraid to apply the patches to 100 at a time. Those who would be safer to start with? Thank you

  The manufacturer has replaced the HD on my computer laptop 64 bit Windows 7.  Update Windows shows about 100 updates important to apply.  I can't find patches that I had previously applied in the list of applied hotfixes or patches to apply list.  I don't understand why this is.  How would you recommend I do.  I'm afraid to apply the patches to 100 at a time.  Those who would be safer to start with?

  Thank you

  Hello

  I suggest you only begin to install the important updates (recommended) first and later if you want you can install optional updates. All Windows update are safe to install and it is important to install the update and recommended by Microsoft. It keeps your computer safer and your software current to date and if you want Windows to install important updates as they become available, turn on automatic updating. Important updates provide significant benefits, such as improved security and reliability. You can also set Windows to automatically install recommended updates, which can address non-critical problems and help enhance your computing experience. Optional updates are not downloaded or installed automatically.

• Is it normal for a Macbook Pro operate at a temperature of more than 60 degrees celsius with only the navigation? Left side warms also many...

  My Macbook Pro Late 2011 very hot especially on the left side. Temperature exceeds the 60 degrees celsius, with only the navigation. Is this a normal behavior? Fans operate at a SPEED of 2000 more or less. I would like the experts to guide...

  From what you say, it seems that your MacBook fans work as usual (and unfortunately), and 60ºC is a good temperature for a MacBook Pro, so I don't think that there is nothing wrong with your Mac. Note that the temperature may also depend on what websites visit you and complete what they use. for example, Java and Flash Player increases CPU utilization and the battery, and this, temperature.

  In addition, note that your MacBook Pro is made of aluminum, and it can quickly become hot even if you don't do any heavy task. This does not mean that there is nothing wrong with it

• HP 6600: why can I not print with only black when I have only black cartridge in hp 6600 as hp 4500'?

  and he always says that color cartridges are leaking so I had to make one more only accepts black and I can not print with only black.

  How can I print with only black when I have the only black in the printer.

  Why only black does not work with the color cartridges.

  What is the error message you see with the color cartridges installed?

  HP and other printer manufacturers have technology another printer for different needs.  For ink jet printers:

  • Some have integrated into the ink cartridges print heads.  These printers can print generally with one or more of the colors completely empty, or even with color or black cartridges (but not both) removed. 5665 envy is an example.
  • Other printers have separate replaceable printheads and inks.  An example would be the printer Officejet Pro 8610.  In these printers print head can be replaced if they are damaged by running the printhead with colors off.  Some of these printers allow printing with a color, the other will not.  If the printer is run without ink in one or several colours, the printer may be damaged, but the user may be able to recover without having to send to the printer for the service.
  • Other printers have permanent print heads.  To run only those without little ink in all colours would risk causing damage to the print head because of clogs, air ingested in the printhead or grilled printhead resistances of shooting. The Officejet 6600 is an example of this type of printer. For printers with fixed print heads that could require the service to get the printer to print properly again when the ink is finally replaced.

  The document described here how the ink is used.  The document is written for inkjet printers HP the same principles apply to printers inkjet from other manufacturers.

  If you do ever print color laser printer would probably be a better choice.  If you occasionally print color but especially black a HPI printer as those in the first category above can be a good choice.

• How is it when I try to open one of my favorte often visited Web sites I get a blank page with only the word 'false' in the upper left?

  How is it when I try to open one of my favorte often visited Web sites I get a blank page with only the word 'false' in the upper left?

  This just started happening the last two days.  I tried to add the url to my list to activate in Internet Options, also to accept the list for windows firewall. I rebooted and restored.

  It is annoying when I can't access Web sites on my PC.  There is no control parenting, nor is it a reason to be since I'm 57 years old, single, live alone and have no children, and not to mention that this isn't a single adult site. This is an auction site.  The same thing happens on a site of sports too.

  Hello

  Thank you for writing to Microsoft Communities.

  I understand how it could be frustrating when things do not work as expected. Please, I beg you, don't worry I'll try my best to resolve the issue.

  1. what operating system is installed on the computer?

  2. what version of Internet Explore do you use?

  3 have there been recent changes to the computer before the show?

  Please go ahead and follow the steps mentioned and later a update on the State of the question.

  Method 1: Start Internet explorer with the mode without modules and check.

  Click Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, and click Internet Explorer (No Add-ons).

  If the problem does not persist in Internet Explorer (No Add-ons), then it is one of the Add-ons at the origin of this problem. Please follow the steps below to locate the problem the weak module:

  a. restart IE normally.

  b. click on tools.

  c. click on Manage Add-ons.

  d. disable add-ons by clicking on them one at a time to highlight and then click Disable.

  e. reactivate modules one by one and check with what add-on, you get this error message.

  f. turn off the add-on at the origin of the problem.

  For your reference: http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/Internet-Explorer-Add-ons-frequently-asked-questions

  (For Windows Vista)

  Method 2: How to optimize Internet Explorer:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/936213/no

  Important: Reset Internet Explorer to its default configuration. This step will disable also any add-ons, plug-ins or toolbars that are installed. Although this solution is fast, it also means that, if you want to use one of these modules in the future, they must be reinstalled.

  Follow these recommended steps and after if you still experience the problem.
