When I start most of the programs that is lock and on the taskbar it says program does not. How can I stop this from happening?
Original title: Windows Explorer
It is a good number with a boot drive (C:\ drive) that is cruelly of free space.
A healthy walk NEEDS 20% free space at least to work properly and prevent your suspension system.
Several causes are possible, but check your free space. Upgrade your hard drive if necessary.
More RAM might help too.
Check these before you attempt to update or install anything more.

Since the installation of Google Chrome, whenever I start to upload photos into my computer, Adobe Photoshop Elements opens upward. How can I stop this from happening? I tried to find a place to disable the plugin Adobe in Chrome, but can't locate. Does anyone have a solution?
Your answer showed no once again, but here are a few things to check:
1. If you hold down the SHIFT key and then connect your camera that should stop the pse to open.
Then go into workstation, do a right-click on the camera (by car), select Properties > AutoPlay and you should be able to change what is happening.
2. glance in the organizer of items in photoshop under Edit > Preferences > camera and card reader and see if the start automatically is checked.
(not all versions of the pse Organizer have that)

How to set the time it takes for my computer access mode standby, when I do not use it? Thank you.
Hi ILUVHAWAII,
Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.
By default, your computer goes to sleep after a short period of inactivity to save power. To keep the computer awake longer, increase the sleep after setting.
To keep your computer awake longer
1. open power Options by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, clicking System and Maintenance, and then clicking power Options .
2. in the left pane, click change when the computer sleeps.
3. in the change for the plan of the parameters in the page computer standby list, click the amount of time slot on battery or AC (or both) and then click Save changes.Turn off a computer: frequently asked questions

Some programs continue to save on & on even if I did not register, how can I stop this?
I had this problem with Media Center in Vista Home Premium for well over a year. Once I recorded a show, I find that it is set to record again and again and again once without putting myself to save. It's cluttering my hard drive and become a real pain.
This does not happen with every show, just a few. I've never been to "Series Record", I put only to record my shows, a day or two ahead of time and that is when I find a show sometimes has once more the value to save. Or sometimes I'll go to watch recorded shows and it showed that I had not put to save, Yes, it's a former title, I recorded in the past.
I've never had a new titled record shows on its own, only those who were registered in the past.
There must be a Medai Center file that contains the list of the recorded shows, if I could erase this file that should solve the problem. I tried to clear the cache & temporary files with various software hoping to delete this list but that did not work.
Suggestions?
And you are sure that no show has been inadvertently value "series"? You can check this in recorded TV > view scheduled > series.
Another possibility is that (especially if it seems to be completely random episodes), it is re-registration of the episodes that did not previously save completely (due to the failure of the system, the loss of signal or other error.) If this is the case, clear the history of recording (via recorded TV > view scheduled > history > clear history) will correct this.As for deleting a file: If the above did not solve the issue, Yes, it's possible.
Assuming that your PC isn't TV Pack 2008 (check in the MC: tasks > settings > General > on media center to windows > software version: If the software version 6.0.xxxx, no TV Pack; if it is 6.1.xxxx, you have TV Pack), to do this:
Close Media Center. Open Services.msc. Stop all the "Windows Media Center xxxx" services. "
Open Explorer. Go to tools > folder options; Uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" and select "Show the hidden files and folders" > OK. Go to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\eHome\Recording. Copy the recordings.xml and recordings.xml.bak (recordings.bak? It has been a little while, and I'm on Win7 these days...) For more security (just in case...) and delete the originals.
Reset the display options in Explorer they had before. Close all windows and restart.
Windows will recreate the recordings.xml to restart files, and they are going to be empty - no entries.HTH,

Flash Player is spamming my computer with ads... How can I stop this?
How can I prevent the Flash Player I spammed with ads? I uninstalled it but it persists. Right-clicking the advertisement identifies the flash player and takes me to a page of settings. Any ideas?
To be 100% accurate... Flash Player IS NOT do spamming.
You're infected with "adware" and it is in USING Flash Player to bombard you, but Flash Player is the only vehicle, NOT the culprit.
Run a COMPLETE for malware analysis.
