• When you delete files (in Windows 7) Explorer hangs on 'calculate' the size of the files to delete. This problem also occurs in Windows Vista (out and included SP1).

  When this problem happens:
  * You try to delete files, from any folder: a folder user protected (such as your desktop), a protected windows folder (such as program files) or an unprotected folder you created yourself (for example, a folder named "test" on your C permit)
  * The problem only occurs when you try to delete files using Windows Explorer. The problem only IS NOT OCCUR when you delete the files from another system using one hand (log on to another computer, open a shared folder, for example by opening \\windows7system\c$\test and try to remove this folder).

  What's happening:
  * Explorer crashes when 'Calculating' the features of folder.

  Question:
  * Why is this happening? It seems to be a problem in Explorer, not in the delete code actually (since the problem does not occur with one hand)

  I don't know the underlying cause or how to fix it. However, something like Unlocker would work.

• Is it possible to get the files for windows vista, so I can reinstall my system?

  Hello

  Im a user of linux on one machine HP Pavilion dv5-1095eo leisure. IM tired to restart my machine to run a windows OS, so is possible for me to get the files for windows vista. I got the windows key attached under the computer and I don't have any windows CD when I brought the machine.

  Hello:

  You can do your own installation disc Vista too if you wish.

  If you can read your 25-character product key MS, you can make your own Windows Vista installation disc. You just download the 3 files you need on the link below and read all the instructions to create a Setup bootable DVD disk using imageburn.

  When I went to compile the ISO file, ImageBurn gave a message on a WIM file, file and ISO, and if I wanted to burn it in a different format.

  I selected no, make the ISO file.

  It was not so hard to do. I burned both the disk of 64-bit and 32-bit disk in case I ever need them.

  I tested both of them (just before going forward with the actual facility) and they seem to work perfectly.

  Apparently, when you enter the product key, he knows which version of Vista you have.

  http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/software-OS/w/microsoft_os/3317.2-3-Microsoft-Windows-VI...

  After you have successfully installed vista, you can download the drivers you need your PC support and driver page.

• I am trying to remove the read-only in a file of windows vista program

  Hello

  I'm having a problem with the program files in Windows Vista. I have a file that I need to be able to write to and I can't get out of the read-only mode. Can someone help me with this please?

  Thank you.

  You really shouldn't be messing around in the Program Files folder unless you REALLY know what you are doing, because the wrong action can cause a lot of damage to your programs (more than one in some cases).  You experience trouble intentionally caused by Vista.

  But assuming you want to do anyway for some reason, the said problem as a Teen geek is ownership and permissions.  They are particularly tight on the programs folder (and hard to get around even for people experienced in this sort of thing).

  You must you give full permissions and take ownership of the files or the folders that you intend to work with.  You may need to change the permissions of the parent due to inherited permissions folders.  You may also use the advanced permissions option to deal with special permissions (maybe change some while they are not inherited or others in order to provide the right permissions as well as the main permissions screen.  I don't know how long until you go to appropriating, but start with everything that you need and work upward only when necessary.  Here are a few guidelines for permissions and lines taken possession that should help you:

  To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.  To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

  To resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  You can change now switched to read-only (even if the main folder indicates that they are always read-only - you can access yourself as the owner).  You can keep them in read-only to other users, customers and administrators even (although they can support themselves and access, if they wish, and it is really not that you can do to stop it except protect the file with a password by using a 3rd party product.)  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html.  To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/

• Impossible to delete some files on windows vista (read-only cannot be deselected, either)

  Right... excuse me for grammar mistakes, I'm Dutch. So there you go.

  I am a user of Windows Vista on a HP Pavilion Entertainment PC. I uninstalled World of Warcraft yesterday, and there are two files that I can't remove, no matter what I try. If I want to delete them, I first get this:

  http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/483/eerstdit.PNG

  Can I get something I can't print screen for a reason, telling me to give my permission as an administrator of the laptop. What I'm doing. Then, I get this:

  http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/1054/endandit.PNG

  Remains and stays and stays (you get the picture), no matter how many times I click on 'Retry '. Of course, when I press cancel, it stops completely, and the files are still there.

  == Fun facts (or something like that) =.

  http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/7725/mapwb.PNG

  None of the files are marked as "read-only":

  http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/6421/FileProperties.PNG

  But the plan is amrked as such... However, the name of the map can be changed. (As seen when I changed it to 'h' instead of 'World of Warcraft' to see if it would somehow effect). The names of the files, however, cannot.

  http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/9439/mapproperties.PNG

  When I try to change the map to 'no read-only', simply unchecking the box and try 'apply' or 'ok', I get the same response from the computer I get when I try to delete the files: no way I'll do .

  I tried to do since the mode without failure of the laptop with the same exact results. I am the only admin on the computer (in fact, I'm the only account outside the 'guest' one) and Yes, I am enrolled in the two-person-list, who is an administrator (which is strange in itself, because, as I said, the other account should not exist even) have the files.

  Of course I can't open the files, because the programs they were running with disappeared with uninstalling WoW.

  http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/5599/Openen.PNG

  And this is my story. If nobody here knows, suggestions to other places that they might know are also welcome.

  Try to use one of the following free products to remove the file/folder.  Unlocker to: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtml or file Assassin http://www.malwarebytes.org/fileassassin.php (with or without forcing the deletion: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/12/27/force-delete-cannot-delete-locked-or-in-used-files-or-folders-with-fileassassin/). These programs often work when normal functions remove Vista not work correctly.

  If this does not work, it may be a permissions problem.  Try to give permission in their own right and also appropriate.  Here is information on how to do these two things:

  To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.  To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

  If this does not work, try to reinstall WOW and then uninstall it with Revo http://www.snapfiles.com/reviews/revo-uninstaller/revouninstaller.html instead of using the option to uninstall Vista (Revo does a better job and can cope with these two files during the process).

  regarding...
  Karthikeyan devalla.

  Karthikeyan Devalla,
  Here are the instructions to remove some of the restore points using disk cleanup.  Your system is configured to record everything automatically on your computer at periodic points so if you need to restore your system files will be there.  But sometimes, you get more restore points that you want or need and he can eat a lot of disk space.  Here's how to control this.

  You can use Disk Cleanup to remove points of restoration and the free space on the hard disk on your computer.

  Disk removes the cleanup all but the last restore point on your computer. In some editions of Windows Vista, restore points can include previous versions of files. Previous versions are also deleted.
   
  1. open Disk Cleanup by clicking the Start button, tap all programs, accessories, click System Tools, and then click Disk Cleanup.
   
  2. in the Disk Cleanup Options dialog box, click files from all users on this computer.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
   
  3. If prompted, select the drive you want to clean, and then click OK.
   
  4. click the other Options tab.
   
  5. under System Restore and shadow copies, click Clean up, and then, in the confirmation dialog box, click on delete.
   
  6. If you want to continue using disk cleanup for other drives on your computer, click the Disk Cleanup tab. To quit Disk Cleanup, click Cancel.

• Cannot delete mp4 in windows vista, even after changing the property.

  Hello

  I tried all the methods in the solution given in windows vista to remove off the mp4 files from destop. but each time, he said the necessary authorization.

  I had changed the security for the property for full control rights. but always impossible.

  can you please advice me how to do?

  Hi oscarpooh,

  This only happens with MP4 files?

  The following could prevent you from deleting the file.

  Ø if you do not have the adequate rights for a file or folder, you cannot remove it.

  O if not create you the file, you may not be able to delete it, even if it appears in the Public folder. If this is the case, you must ask the owner of the file to delete.

  O in addition, you cannot remove a file (or the folder that contains it) if the file is currently open in a program. Make sure that the file is not open in any program, and then try again to delete the file.

  Why can't I delete a file or a folder?

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/why-cant-I-delete-a-file-or-folder

  I suggest you try the following steps:

  Ensure that you do not play the file when you try to remove it.

   

  Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode and then try to remove

  Start the computer in safe mode, to do this, follow the steps below,

  Access the menu advanced startup options by turning on your computer and pressing the button F8 before Windows starts. In the advanced startup options select safe mode

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

  Step 2: The corruption of the file system prevents access to the file

   

  You will not be able to delete the file if the file system is damaged. To resolve this problem, run the Chkdsk utility on the disk volume to correct any errors.

  Run the disk check to repair bad sectors on the hard disk.

  a. Click Start, in the start search bar type cmd, right-click on the command prompt icon in the box programs and then click Run as administrator.

  b. at the command prompt, type chkdsk /f and then press ENTER.

  Now, type chkdsk/r

   Note: CHKDSK would attempt to recover bad sectors on the hard disk, in the course of this process there are chances of DATA loss from that particular area.

  Let us know if it works

  Thank you, and in what concerns:
