  • my system will not defragment and it's brand new, it will be anylyze but gets stuck after 1% defrag everyone has this problem on windows 8?

    I get more obvious than that, and that windows 8 is really sucking except to play games and to have some fun. I can't get my system to defragment... and my mouse is very unstable as well. a wireless mouse and keyboard is also very delicate. It's an Acer E1-521-0851. Thanks for any help you can give me.

    Hi Barbara,

    I understand that you are facing the question with the defragmentation as it gets stuck at 1%, the mouse is also unstable. Let us perform the following troubleshooting steps and check if this is useful:

    Important note: Disconnect all external devices except the mouse and keyboard and then try to run the defragmentation.

    Method 1: Run SFC / Scannow.

    The sfc/scannow command. analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

    Scan the file system (CFS) auditor. Follow these steps:

    one) starts at the desktop view.

    (b) open the command prompt, right-click in the corner when the start window appears, select command prompt (admin).

    (c) type the following from the command sfc/scannow , and then press ENTER:

    Method 2: Run the command chkdsk and verify.

    Refer to the section " " "to repair a disk to perform the disk check""" in the following link:

    Improve performance by optimizing your hard drive

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/improve-performance-optimizing-hard-drive

    Important: when running chkdsk on the drive hard if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data may be lost

    Method 3: Install the drivers for chipset of the manufacturer's Web site:

    you use a key OEM SLP to win 7, which requires a bios compatible win 7 for activation of the auto. 20/06/2008 bios date is well before win 7 is out.

    you will need to buy a genuine windows or return to windows, your computer comes with that.

    OEM SLP: This key comes pre-installed in Windows, when it comes to the factory. This key is designed to work with the special instructions isn't on the hardware of this manufacturer. Then, when Windows was installed using the OEM SLP (in factory) Windows 7 key leans on the motherboard and he sees special instructions and activates.

  • A few questions about the defrag and hard space as I get a notification saying my hard disk space became full of drive

    I have problems with my hard drive. I got a notification saying that my hard disk space became full. So I cleaned a lot of programs and files of the irrational. I've freed almost half of it. Then I had another notification a few days later and realized that I had less than 1 GB of free space on my hard drive 600 g. I cleaned more and went to defragment my disk. It is set on a calendar, but I don't think that he has never been defragmented. He ran for about 2.5 days until the cord is unplugged and the battery is dead at 91% consolidated. Do I have to start again and wait again 2.5 days before I little hard drive space open? Or progress in the early days of 2.5 will remain défragmentée? In addition, defrag and do a disk cleanup will stop my hard drive to fill almost instantly after deleting and uninstalling programs? I'm running out of things to remove and I am a full-time student full and really need a computer in operation, please help!

    Defragmentation is complete, will continue from the left point last time. Therefore, if you raise, he will continue that 91 percent (of course, it will start from 0%, but the scan will go up that 91% and continue with the rest of the space on the hard disk, that 91% of surface of the hard drive has been defragmented already).

    Yes, you can delete all the files inside the Temp folder. TEMP folder is a temporary storage place used by some programs to temporarily store the files/folders. Some programs remove the files/folders after working, but some retain them, causing space problems.

    You can use disk cleanup, on occasion, to delete unnecessary files from the hard drive.

  • Disc, defragment and Task Scheduler

    It is probably the computer to be terrible, but I'm trying to defrag because my comp is slow on Windows 8.  I'll right settings screen, Panel, system and security, administrative tools, and then defragment and optimize your disks.  The guest says 'optimization of the storage failed to start the service task scheduler is not running.  "Start the Task Scheduler service and try again.  So, I go to administrative tools and click on "schedule tasks".  He said: "the remote computer is not found.  I'm on my local computer.

    When he pulls in fact, I have no tasks running. I go into 'action' and have only the following options (all the others are grey): connect to another computer, to configure service accounts, updating and help.  None of them helped me.

    I see not all running tasks and I can always run a defragmentation.  Can someone help me please?  It's frustrating, it's like having children, and they all have both said the other did something; never actually, you get a response.  That's what I feel right now.

    Hello

    Two things to try...

    Check services are being run/set for automatic
    1) press the Windows key and R to open a dialog box to run

    (2) type services.msc and press ENTER.

    (3) do scroll down to 'Task Scheduler' and make sure that it is "started" and set to start automatically - right-click and choose Properties to change this, if it is not set.

    Try to run defrag again and see what happens. If it does not, or you find, keep it stop

    Run the System File Checker
    (1) search for cmd in the start menu.

    (2) right click the command prompt box and choose "Run as Administrator" at the bottom of the screen.

    (3) in the type sfc/scannow in cmd window

    This runs the System File Checker that checks all the problems with the Windows system files. It may take a long time to run.
