Multiple copies of bootmgr.exe.mui

I have about 370 copies of the bootmgr.exe.mui meet approx. 24 MB of disk space.  I am running Vista Home Premium on a Toshiba laptop.  The majority of the files is located in the subdirectories under the C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-d... file - x 86. Directory.  There are seveal startup directories which showed non-Windows in other directories.  Of course, I can't delete all these files.  Anyone has any ideas about why so many copies.  Thank you.

Hi djmikel,
I just double checked myself and it is not really a problem with these files. Unless you start removing them.
These are system files that are supposed to be locked so that they cannot be deleted.
Sorry for fear.

  • Multiple copies of MRT.exe in several folders on C: / drive

    Recently, I noticed several files in the main folder C: / drive of our 64 bit Windows Vista machine.  All 4 folders have strange names:
    -f7b9a1b44342f2673e6016fd76ed1e5f
    -d150cd6749088383c80f
    -bba1775d5d54e192eebb0013
    -61d8271a8131a6970f78
    And they all contain one instance of MRT.exe.

    How can I be sure that it is confidence Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool?  Why are there so many copies with strange folder names?

    The malicious software removal tool creates files in the random name. See the FAQ of http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=890830#Faq Q21

    And this extract previously in KB890830

    How to remove the malicious software removal tool

    The malicious software removal tool does not use an installer. As a general rule, when you run the malicious software removal tool, it creates a temporary directory named at random on the root of the drive of the computer. This directory contains several files, and it includes the Mrtstub.exe file. Most of the time, this folder is automatically deleted after the tool to the end of execution or the next time that you start the computer. However, this folder may not always be automatically deleted. In these cases, you can manually delete this file, and this has no adverse effect on the computer

  • Thunderbird will download multiple copies of email with large attachments; about half a Meg or more.

    Have uninstalled and re installed TB; still had the problem so deleted files popstate.dat; three old and I guess that the other two were for both accounts I have. Sometimes I go to the server/webmail and delete the large email to stop repeated downloads.
    Bill

    I tried a different e-mail program, and it did not download multiple copies. Tried to uninstall TB new and removed the front profile of re install and still had the same problem. One of the large files sent to my friend that I had installed TB on his computer for him and he doesn't have the problem. So I changed my email from POP3 to IMAP and now it seems that the multiple download problem disappeared. I would like to know well why I had a problem and my friend (and others) do not have.

  • my iPhoto will not print multiple copies of a photo.

    I'm under o/s10.7.5 and iPhoto 8.1.2 version.  I've selected my photo and chose to print on the file menu.  I select the contact Board on the menu of the icon to the left of my picture. A small picture of my photo appears on the preview.  Layout page or column options had no effect and when I print only one tiny copy of my photo is displayed.  Of course, I'm in the middle of a project to date limit for which I need this feature!

    I have not use iPhoto 8 for a very long time, so do not know, is that it is valid.  With the current iPhoto 9.6.1 duplicate a photo as many times that the copies are required on the printed sheet.

    Select the copies, and use the Contact sheet available:

    Or use the custom layout and set the size to get the number of photos per page you want:

    NOTE: The key is to duplicate the image as many times as you need to get the number of images per page you want.

    This is how works the latest version of iPhoto.  I don't remember how iPhoto 8.1.2 manages multiple copies of a picture on a page.

  • Multiple copies of the same mail and "unresponsive".

    I have fought with Thunderbird for about a week now and have had no chance to solve my problems. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I tried all the suggestions on the FAQ page.

    Here are my symptoms:
    -Make multiple copies of the same email with the same time stamp.
    -Not pulling new e-mail messages.
    -Whenever I try to navigate upwards or downwards in the Inbox or open an email TB will does not.
    -J' got warnings from the following script:
    Script: resource://gre/modules/XPCOMUtils.jsm:323
    Script: chrome://messenger/content/mailWindow.js:179

    Here is what I tried:
    -J' completely removed and reinstalled TB (and recovered my profile).
    -J' have compressed files.
    -J' rebuilt the database world.
    -From TB in safe mode does not seem to make a big difference.

    Fortunately, I have access to webmail via my ISP and it works fine.

    Thank you!

  • How can I open multiple copies of Firefox - like I used to do on the old computer?

    I have a new computer and downloaded Firefox 28.0 I need to have multiple copies of Firefox opened at the same time when working on projects. Using tabs is completely unacceptable, because I do not see a piece of information at a time. I don't know anything about programming, so please don't tell me to do anything related to that. Is the best solution to remove the new version and return to the old ones?

    One thing I do in this case is to open several tabs, and then drag one tab away from others. When you drag the tab away it will open in its own window, which gives you what sounds like you after.

    Good luck!

  • Pls.Help settle ongoing argument w / my BF. I opened several tabs; He runs multiple copies of Firefox. Which is more effective? There is a big difference?

    It seems intuitive to me that opening several tabs (w / a copy of Firefox running) should be more effective than opening multiple copies of Firefox, but I can't find anything on this issue when I google it or search on your site. What is the best, or isn't it important? If one is better on the other, is there a big difference?

    f it's important, I usually 4-6 tabs open, but sometimes 10 or more. It usually has 4 to 6 copies of Firefox running, w / 1 or 2 tabs.

    I'm tired of arguing, so I would really like to know. Thank you!

    Efficiency has many meanings. Firefox could use a little more memory to use several windows, but the memory is relatively cheap and plentiful on the recent PC. Perhaps more important is the style of each person.

    Please note that there is a difference between open multiple windows in a single Firefox session and execution of several Firefox sessions. In the latter scenario, you would load the executable together several times (and to avoid conflicts load a separate Firefox in each profile), and you would only do this for testing or in other special cases.

  • LaserJet 1320: Print multiple copies

    Regardless of the number of copies I specify to print on my Laserjet 1320, it will only print one copy. I use Word 2010, Windows 8.1

    I suspect that the following is the case:

    • Your document is a MultiPage document (i.e. not just a single page).
    • You select that copies be printed "collected" (e.g. pages 1,2,3,..., 1, 2, 3,..., 1, 2, 3,...) rather than "not assembled" (i.e. pages 1,1,1,..., 2, 2, 2,..., 3, 3, 3,...).
    • The driver assumes that the printer can produce multiple copies of a source only copy - this is known as ing MOPY(I think it stands for "copy of the original multiple").
    • But the printer does not function MOPY - usually this is only available if the printer has a hard drive or a large RAM disk - I do not think that the LJ1320 supports one of these.

    You can confirm that the foregoing occurs by:

    • "Capture" a print job to a file (using the option "print to a file" in the print Word dialogue or sample driver
    • Then examing initially file resulting .prn (you should be able to open it in Notepad).
    • Most of the file can be unintelligible, but initially will look like:

    If the command SET QTY is there, this confirms that the driver think the printer will make copies.

    If so, check the settings of the device to the printer:

    to check whether or not the system thinks that a hard disk is installed on the printer, and Mopier mode is enabled or not.

    If the disk hard printer is set to installed, change to not installed.

    If the Mopier Mode is set to Enabled, change it to disabled.

    Then repeat the tests to see if it makes a difference.

    He should do it, although the print jobs sent to the printer will be larger (they will contain several copies).

  • OfficeJet 5740: Windows 7 Officejet 5740 prints multiple copies of Excel (2000)

    Nine Officejet 5740 e-all-in-one printer connected to the Acer PC under Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) SP1. Printer driver 17.59.00.6180

    Will not print multiple copies of a small document (2000) Excel (128kb)

    Print large files PDF and Word and several copies, but not from Excel (2000)

    It will be wound up to two (maybe three copies) but displays only the first and then fails with the Excel error message "your file could not be printed due to an error on HP Officejet 5740 Series (network) on Ne01...". »

    Followed by the HP error message «Unable to communicate with the printer...» »

    I think it must have something to do with the way Excel print multiple copies queued several unique copies that print spooler one by one. It feels as if the spooler is being overwhelmed by the simple copies repeated being pulled on her by the Excel print routine.

    Any advice appreciated

    Greetings @tessdesigns,

    Thank you access the Forums from HP Support for extra support! I see that you have problems printing multiple copies of Excel. I will do my best to help you with this problem.

    The application you are printing from, go to file, print, number of copies, select 2. Uncheck the Collate box. You can now change the number of copies. Collate should now stay disabled.  Try to reprint the document of several pages.

    If the problem persists, perform a clean boot on the computer and disable the Antivirus software. How to perform a clean boot in Windows. Then try to reprint the multiple documents.
