My VM has suddenly doubled and is on all fours. I can clean?

Running Workstation 8.02 on a basic AMD 4 with 8 g memory box.

A few months ago, I had a small Raptor drive I used with volumes encrypted to run my VM (XP Pro). The image file was always around 12-14 concerts in the size that I had only allocated 30 concerts for the virtual machine. (I was using Workstation 7 at the time). One night no logical reason my system said he had run out of space on my VM player worked, and everything crashed. My only option was to create a new virtual machine on a disc more, increase the size of 60 gig and transfer the associated VM files to it. Since then VM was crawling. I have 2 processors assigned and used the default settings of the system. If anyone can suggest a way to reduce this thing to its original size, or a file that I can get to understand why it has doubled and ran out of disk space, I'm listening! Let me know what other data are relevant. I think I should just blow this thing and start over.

Although I prefer to keep a backup of the original virtual machine running on a snapshot - consuming additional disk space and can slow down the virtual machine - you can certainly remove only the latest snapshots if you want or need to. Just keep in mind that remove any cliché will merge the data of the according to - 00000 x hard file in its direct parent hard file which means that you will still need additional disk space compared to all merge into the virtual disk Basic.

    I have the hp Pavilion dv6 running Windows 7.   The noise stopped after I took the laptop to a church woman whose home was hit by lightning, until she could buy another computer.   My computer was not in his house when he was struck by lightning, and I don't want to talk about this problem, because it has enough on its hands right now.

  • Until I found this thread, I lost 16 months in the Inbox during compacting emails, I went to the trash can and hit restore all, but I can't find them

    As I close outlook wxpress yesterday, I got the prompt for compaction. It's been awhile, so I let it start and stop later the computer without checking anything. Today, when I went to check my messages, everthting from 2012 until yesterday was gone. I went in the trash and saw that he was responsible. I have selected to restore a prompt came and I hit restore all. I return wwent into my Inbox and found nothing changed. I searched the web and found this thread and read something about 'with OE not open' and stuff on .bak and .dbx, and fear that I might have screwed up. Where can I find these messages?

    You need more than a single click to restore. Here's my answer "keeps" together with the instructions. The party concerned is in blue, but please read all this.
     
     

    Two reasons the most common for what you describe is disruption of the compacting process, (never touch anything until it's finished), or bloated folders. More about that below.
     

    Why OE insists on compacting folders when I close it? :
    http://www.insideoe.com/FAQs/why.htm#compact
     
     
     
     
    Recovery methods:
     
    If you are running XP/SP3, then you should have a backup of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin (or possibly the message store), copied as bak files.
     
    To restore a folder bak on the message store folder, first find the location of the message store.
     
    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.
     
     
    In Windows XP, the .dbx files are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in the Solution Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder options | View.
     

    Note: If you have new messages in the folder you are go restore, move them to a folder first created user, or they will be lost. They can be moved once the old posts have been restored.
     

    Close OE and in Windows Explorer, click on the dbx to the file missing or empty file, then drag it to the desktop. It can be deleted later once you have successfully restored the bak file. Minimize the message store.
     
     
    Open OE and, if the folder is missing, create a folder with the * exact * same name as the bak file you want to restore but without the .bak. For example: If the file is Saved.bak, the new folder should be named saved. Open the new folder, and then close OE. If the folder is there, but just empty, continue to the next step.
     
     
    First of all, check if there is a bak file already in the message. If there is, and you have removed the dbx file, go ahead and rename it in dbx.
     

    If it is not already in the message, open the trash and do a right-click on the file bak for the folder in question and click on restore. Open the message store up and replace the .bak by .dbx file extension. Close the message store and open OE. Messages must be in the folder.
     
     
    If messages are restored successfully, you can go ahead and delete the old dbx file that you moved to the desktop.

     
     
    If you have not then bak copies of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin:
     

    DBXpress run in extract disc Mode is the best chance to recover messages:
    http://www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/default.aspx
     
     
     
     
     
     

    A general warning to help avoid this in the future:
     

    Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They finally are damaged. Create your own folders defined by the user for mail storage and move your mail to them. Empty the deleted items folder regularly. Keep user created folders under 300 MB, and also empty as is possible to default folders.
     

    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently.

  • my media player has suddenly two or three copies of all my songs and videos

    Title original: Media Player

    all of a sudden, my media player has two or three copies of all my songs and videos and even the media player files, as its brightness and contrast tutorial videos. Help.

    Hello

    To delete duplicate entries, click on another feature tab in the drive (for example the current playback), and then click library.

    If it eliminates the duplicate of your library entries, you can right click on the music file and click 'open file location '. To check if the location of the file is the same or different. This will let us know if there are entries in double or not.

    If only a small number of duplicate entries exist, you can delete those invalid manually by double-clicking the invalid entry and then clicking on delete.

    If you have a large number of entries in doubles in your library (or if your library is duplicated), it might be better to create a new library.

    Method 1: To resolve this problem, clear theWindows Media Player database. To do this, follow these steps:

    a. exit Windows Media Player.

    b. for Windows 7: click Start, run, %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player and then click on OK.

    c. Select all files in the folder, and then click delete on the file menu.

    Note: You don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.

    d. restart Windows Media Player.

    Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

    Method 2: If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files. To do this, follow these steps:

    a. exit Windows Media Player.

    b. If you run Windows 7, click Start, run, % LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft, and then click OK.

    c. Select the folder Media Playerand then clickdelete on the file menu.

    d. restart Windows Media Player.

    Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

    Method 3: How can I prevent double or invalid entries to be added to my library when I play music files?

    When you move digital media files on your computer, the file name and file path information remain unchanged in your library. Then when you select a file to play to its new location, a new entry is created in your library if you select the option automatically added to your library when played. As a result, your library can quickly contain a large number of entries, duplicate or invalid.

    To prevent it be automatically added to your library of music files

    a. in Windows Media Player, on the Tools menu, click on Options.

    b. on the Player tab, clear music to add to the library when played check box.

    Now, when you play music on your computer or the Internet, the file will not be added automatically to your library.

  • Hotmail has suddenly changed appearance and now present on the top of the page blue with lines. I have a screenshot...

    Run Firefox 15.0. Hotmail has suddenly changed appearance and my page is not at the bottom of the screen. The top 5/6 of the page is a series of horizontal blue stripes. Text in the blue section is the Windows Live titles such as ' home, Mobile devices, etc. When I try to compose a new message, text in the blue box partially covers the 'To' button, so I need to position the slider at the bottom of the button to enter an address. I have tried Hotmail in IE and it seems fine, so it must be a problem of compatibility between Hotmail & Firefox. Hotmail has not responded to my questions by e-mail. I could understand that if this happened at the beginning of a session, just after I have lights, but this happened after, I had been active in Hotmail and other sites. Other sites are not affected, just Hotmail and only in Firefox.

  • iBooks has suddenly stopped sync between my iPhone and iPad

    iBooks has suddenly stopped syncing between my 6s iPhone and iPad Mini.  Both are running iOS 9.3, and the sync was working well for several days after I updated the two devices.  The two options of synchronization (bookmarks/notes and collections) are enabled for both devices.  And no matter on which device I add a bookmark or a note. It will not synchronize with the other device.

    I rebooted both devices and enabled the synchronization options, and then on again, but I was not able to run.

    Any ideas as to what is happening?

    Thank you.

    I'm having the same problem. I have iBooks on my iPhone, iPad and Mac and I cannot get any of them to Favorites sync. However, purchases are synchronized.

  • My hard drive has suddenly changed its format NTFS and I need to solve this problem

    my local C drive has suddenly changed to NTFS after I installed a game (Battlefield 2) and restarted my computer.
    I do not see the memory of my hard drive and I can't open some programs such as AVG anti-virus.
    I tried to run cmd as administrator, but it appears with a message «windows cannot access cmd.exe...»
    I can't get back to the time before what is happening.
    How can I solve this problem?

    In Internet Explorer, try tools, Internet Options, Connections tab, LAN settings if the box has been checked, uncheck the box "use a Proxy Server" and click OK, and click OK. Some malicious programs use the proxy server to redirect when you connect to the internet. You must then restart in Mode safe mode with networking and download and run Malwarebytes and Superantispyware in accordance with what I posted earlier.
