    Hello

    Thank you for the additional information.

    Yesterday, I decided to register on IT * files .tmp on DVD and I removed them from the TEMP directory. I decided to do it because none of the processes they used at the time of my comment. I compared the the event logs for any new warnings or errors, but mistakes are appearing as before removal. The errors are:
    -The parallel port driver service failed to start due to the following error: the service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices is associated to him.
    -Could not load the plug-in module. (GUID = {56F9312C-C989-4E04-8C23-299DEE3A36F5}) (Error code = 0 x 80042019)

    I haven't checked on the first error, but it appears in the system log because I erased the corrupt system log - also before deleting the files.
    The second is well known 'Vaio Entertainment Database Services' error (in the application log) and everyone invites you to remove this service from startup list. So maybe I'll do it.

    My Vaio has now extra 7.5 GB of free space and has no performance or other problems (so far).

    Today, I tried this (sfc/scannnow) system scan and the log is perfectly clean. Nothing has been repaired.
    Also checkdisk returns nothing abnormal so I think the albums * .tmp not fail at any other SW. The other issue is how they were created, but as my log files have been corrupted (another known problem of vista), I will probably never know the answer.

    If new sth will appear on the subject (e.g. new TOP * .tmp files), I'll write again.

    Thank you once again.

  • Why did I not more 74 000 files in more than 4,000 files taking up beyond 1 GB in my Cache folder (I also have a much smaller Cache2 folder)?

    As far as I know, I did nothing to create all these files. They slow down disc scans and as far as I know I need one. I can simply remove all but one, or is there a reason for them being there?

    What of the folder Cache (2)?

    They should be deleted. If Firefox crashes for this session cache files cannot be deleted. Records may not get deleted at all. Certainly to empty your cache files. If you delete while Firefox is running, then you will be able to clear all except those that Firefox is actually using the session.

    After you have emptied your cache of the old files and folders, it would be useful if you have disabled your Internet Explorer cache files also.

    To help reduce the problem, clear your cache files when Firefox ends.

  • Check the file system on C or registry cannont load the hive!

    Ok... I have a Dell Vostro 1510... all of a sudden, I can't on this laptop!  I have Windows XP Professional.  It lights up when I choose to start windows... I am said to be:

    Checking file system on c:

    The type of the file system is NTFS.

    Volume label is System.

    Then, when it starts to run it says: CHKDSK checks the files (step 1 of 3)... it happens to 47% finished and that's all!  It won't do anything else, it just stops!

    If I have to cancel the verification file system I get this message:

    or its log or alternation.

    It is damaged, missing, or not accessible in writing.

    Thanks for any help in advance!

    I see you mentioned do not have all the disks with the laptop and maybe it's that he came not with any, because the installation files are likely in a hidden partition.
    but try to borrow a winxp cd and boot with it.
    then in the window settings pitch repair to start the recovery console.
    then at the prompt of disk, run the following >:
     
    Chkdsk /r
    Chkdsk /f
     
    then exit, remove the cd and restart the computer.
     
    the above commands are redundant, but nothing wrong with double controls.
     
    In addition, if you receive a following error on boot sector, then run via the recovery console fixmbr.
