• New Windows 7 Installation takes up 120 GB

  I just built a new computer for my cousin.  The specifications are the following: Intel Core i7 - 5820K (base 6), 64 GB of 2133 DDR4, Nvidia GeForce GT 740 (4 GB GDDR5) and a Crucial MX100 512 GB SSD.  When I finished installing Windows 7 Professional (64 bit), the hard drive was about 120 GB of space had been used.  How is that possible?

  I have not dealt with before SSD.  Is there something that needs to be done differently when installing Windows?  The formatting of the disc size is 476 GB.  I want to install updates now and the available space is 345 GB (I have since installed the drivers for the motherboard and card chart).  If anyone has any ideas, your contribution will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

  Follow the advice of Gerry to see what actually happens.

  With a default installation of Windows 7, this amount of space is almost certainly mainly caused by size generated by the system to your pagefile (pagefile.sys) and the standby file extended (hiberfil.sys).

  Windows sets the initial minimum size of the paging file equal to the amount of RAM (RAM) installed on your computer and the maximum size equal to three times the amount of RAM installed on your computer. If you see warnings at these recommended levels, and then increase the minimum and maximum sizes.  (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/change-virtual-memory-size#1TC=windows-7)

  Hiberfil.sys is always equal to the amount of RAM installed.  A tower computer probably don't need to Hibernate so you can disable this feature--> https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/920730?wa=wsignin1.0

  You can find almost any desired response regarding the size of the page file when using large amounts of RAM and an SSD.

• New Windows XP installation disc required?

  I have a plu Sony notebook comes with pre-installed XP Pro and I would perform a clean reinstall of the operating system. Restore disks from the system that comes with it (no Windows disk was provided) force the partition from the C: drive to a maximum of 15G (for some reason any) with the rest of the HD (60G total) space assigned to a logical drive D:. In addition, the recovery process reinstalls the original beam of s/w that is now mostly obsolete and unnecessary. That leaves very little space on the C drive for additional applications and many of the old Sony uninstall apps causes system instability.

  If I could just re - install Windows XP on a single partition without all other garbage, I'm back in business. But, I can't seem to find a way to get a new copy and license of Windows XP (there are a lot of fakes out there, but I'm not interested).

  The computer does not have a sufficient memory for Windows 7 and I have a few important apps that does not work under Vista, so what, if any, options are available to me?

  Any advice would be appreciated.

  If your computer has an i386 folder, then you might be able to try this procedure.

  I did it with XP home SP2 disc.  It is installed with success twice on the same computer.

• Install Windows 7 installation compromised by Linux

  Yes, I don't know, a major mistake - the entire disk has been formatted & erased by installing Linux (Linux announcement). In addition, another Bobo was not a Windows 7 system image. The only good thing I did was to back up my personal information, files, documents, etc. on DVD. None of these service options (Windows or HP repair boot-cd) work because the recovery files have disappeared.

  That said, I wonder what are my options for Windows 7. The tower is a HP Pavilion Elite since 2009. He is no longer under warranty and the HP website, they offer is no longer windows complete recovery disks. Options I see there is only this - buy a new Windows 7 installation disc. Even that is questionable because he could not work on an exclusive HP machine.

  I have the product key Windows of the tower. Who can help to restore an installation of Windows? I typed the product key in a Microsoft page to download a new iso image of Windows 7, but naturally, he said that the key was a source property and to communicate with the manufacturer - as I mentioned, is that any help.

  Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

  In fact, manufacturers are responsible for preinstalled OEM licenses. It has been so for a long time. Part of the reason, OEMs make significant changes in their configurations with a myriad of options, it would be impossible for Microsoft support hundreds of configurations out there.

• "Stop 0x000000A5 the BIOS of the system is not fully ACPI-compatible every time as the installation of a new windows 7 integral over Inspiron 15R N5110.

  Hello

  I have installed Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit on many brands of laptops, but when I installed it on Inspiron 15R N5110, (core i5 and 4GBRAM). I faced an error at startup of windows 7 after completing the installation.
  NOTE: When the installation finished and restarted my computer, this window shown to me.
  
  
  
  Two options from the two options above I chose, I found myself with the blue screen:
  
  
  Error blue screen said something these ' BIOS in this system is not fully ACPI-compatible. Contact your system provider for an updated BIOS I don't know what that means and I don't know where is the culprit. I wish I could capture this error screen. However, it is impossible to do because I wasn't the Windows environment. 

  
  

  Even if the error related to BIOS necessary for the update, so how could I update as long as windows has not begun.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Is there something that needs to be configured in the BIOS before installing Windows 7 on Dell laptops.
  I'm quite surprised that the previous system was windows 7, but it was Home Premium.
  
  
  The strangest thing is when I tried to start to repair the disk and even disk instillation of Windows to resolve startup problems, I found that this startup repair couldn't fix problems.
  
  
  When I tried to do these steps:
  
  
  1. Insert your Windows XP CD into the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive, and then restart your computer from the CD.
     Note Some computers may require you change basic input/output system (BIOS) settings before you can start the computer from a CD-ROM. For more information about changing the BIOS, see your computer documentation.
  2. When the "Welcome" screen appears, press R to start the Recovery Console.
  3. If your computer is configured to dual-boot or multiple boot, select the appropriate installation of Windows XP.
  4. When you are prompted to do so, type the administrator password and press ENTER.
     Note By default, the administrator password is blank in Windows XP Home Edition.
  5. By default, Hiberfil.sys is usually located in the directory root (C:\). At the command prompt, type del hiberfil.sys and then press ENTER.
  6. Restart the computer.
  When I arrived at "system recovery options, I saw that my system is listed, then I chose then, but I found myself with this ' this"system recovery options"version is not compatible with the version of windows that you are trying to fix." Try to use a different compatible with this version of windows recovery disk, even if I'm sure only that the same disk to install windows I have installed since.
  
  
  NOTE: I do not add RAM or other devices. There is a windows 7 Home premium and I just re installed a windows 7 ultimate 64-bit. I don't really know what the previous windows version 7 is 32 or 64 bit.
  I checked the dell forum and I found ' your computer goto your BIOS F2

  That goto advance Select ATA to instead of AHCPI save the setting, and then try to restart your Windows 7

  hope it will work. »

  But he did not AHCPI, but I found AHCI and let ATA instead of AHCI, but no difference that happened.

  Hello

  Check the steps suggested by LoneWolf1983 from the link below and see if it helps.

  Warning: Be careful when you change the BIOS settings. The BIOS interface is designed for advanced users, and it is possible to change a setting that can prevent your computer from starting properly. BIOS update should be made only if necessary (to solve a compatibility problem, for example). It can be a complicated process, and if an error occurs, your computer could be rendered inoperative. Be sure to observe the instructions of the manufacturer.

  Thank you very much

  I checked this thread, and I found this solves the problem

  I have changed the serial port in the BIOS for 2F8/IRQ3 and I have not had a blue screen since... fingers crossed, it's her!

  But as you know that no matter what BIOS are different from others.

  Thus, I have not found any serial port in the BIOS to be replaced by 2F8/IRQ3

  NOTE: My problem is when you install a new version of Windows.

  In addition, every time a new windows installation 7 and facing the Blue error screen, I started to Macrium Rescue CD and clicked "fix windows startup", and then when restart my windows, I was not facing the the Blue error screen. If windows starts successfully.

  If the blue screen error was tied to the BIOS, the Refelct Macrium rescue CD wouldn't no matter what (not know this problem)

• How to make Windows 7 32-bit to 64-bit without the new windows installation 7

  32-bit to 64-bit without the new windows installation 7

  Moving from 32 bit to 64 bit Windows 7 always requires an own (custom) installation of Windows 7.

• new windows open randomly - even when you're far away computer

  Firefox open new windows at random, but a new window every 30 to 60 minutes. happen without user input - even when the screen is locked - when I unlock the morning on 10-20 new windows opened.

  --
  new installation of arch linux with only a few packages of basic installed so far. Firefox 41.0.2. report on health enabled. occurs with disabled modules, only one tab empty open in firefox, and no other applications running.

  solved: a new window opens every 61 minutes was due to a package: profile-sync-demon, I went back to the old version (5.75) and all is well now.

• Open a new tab opens a new tab and new window in double - how can this be corrected?

  When a new tab is opened (by any method-'ctrl t' etc - a new tab opens, but also a new window which is a duplicate of the window active.) Assistance to resolve this would be most appreciated.

  Please try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

  If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

  • Click the menu button

    

    click Help

    

    then select restart with disabled modules.

  If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

  • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
  • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
    (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

  When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

  

  If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

  To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

  When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

• Cannot open a new window of an existing window since the last update.

  The shortcut on the desktop no longer works, it won't launch in my Start menu, from my quick launch area or in the program file itself. Since I already have a browser window open I am able to open a new window in the menu browser & in opening a new tab & "moving" towards a new window... but if I always close all the windows browser (as for a reboot) I'll be screwed.

  Firefox is my main browser if it would be great if it could be repaired.

  Hello

  Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

  Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

  1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
  2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
  3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
     • Windows:
       • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
       • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
     • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
     • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
  4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
     1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
     2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

  More information on the resettlement of Firefox can be found here.

  WARNING: Uninstaller or the use of Firefox and not run a third remover as part of this process, because who could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and passwords saved. These can be recovered, unless they have been backed up on an external device!

  Please report back to see if this helped you!

  Thank you.

• Problems with the windows 10 installation partitions

  So I try to install windows 10 via bootcamp on my macbook pro 2012.

  However, I still have problems when I get to the screen of partition on windows 10 installation.

  So I opened the USB BOOT EFI and install from there.

  I enter my product key, accept the license, and I'm greeted by the partitioning. I select the bootcamp partition, but it will not format, gives me an error message, or it will allow me to format, but no real format. If I try to delete the partition I can't create a new one, because it gives me an error message. If I try to solve this problem by making the partition EXFAT / FAT always displays the problem. If I format it under OS X EXTENDED it allows me to move forward, but after installation, it simply gives me the blue screen of death trying to boot from the BOOT EFI of SSD.

  No idea how to solve this problem, I am getting very frustrated and frankly upset against apple to give instructions so little.

  Thank you.

  Is there a particular reason to interrupt the normal process flow using the Alt/Option key? Is your USB, USB2 flash drive Installer?

• If Firefox is set as the default browser and any application tries to open a new window, it doesn't work and I get the error "Firefox is already in running... »

  Here's what I'm running:
  Microsoft Windows 7 Service Pack 1, fully updated to 04/10/2012
  New installation of Firefox 11. No add-on enabled following troubleshooting.
  I am a user has administrator rights
  SAMU is disabled.

  For starters, this has happened since Firefox 10 or more. A couple of months now.

  I am able to open Firefox. My modules worked (ABP, Flashblock, ABP Element Hiding Helper, IETAB2, Downthemall, Greasemonkey, extension of 4chan) had no problem. Firefox is defined and has been fixed for the past two years as my default browser.

  But since about 10 or so, maybe Firefox before, if I opened a session of Firefox and any other application attempts to open a session in a new window, I get the Firefox is already running but not responding do not error. »

  I tried to follow the advice of already posted troubleshooting (glance to parent.lock files left [no date], several sessionstore.js [no date] files, create a new user profile, has tried to erase the 'read only' permission in windows 7, but as soon as it is cleared, only read permission back.)

  As a last resort, I deleted the Firefox folder, the directory %APPDATA%/Mozilla in its entirety and then used CCleaner to remove all references to Firefox in the windows registry, and then made a complete re - install, without extensions installed right now.

  I checked the preferences and have the option "open new windows in a new tab" checked. The problem persists without worrying if this option is checked or not. This problem persists in or out of safe mode, even with the new facility.

  Test case:

  All cases:
  Firefox is selected as the default browser for windows 7

  Case 1: Log in to firefox. Use any other program that is trying to open a link to their Web site in a new window browser or the new browser session. "Firefox is already running" error

  Case 2: Open a firefox session. Right click on Firefox in the taskbar. Select 'open in new window '. "Firefox is already running" error

  Case 3: Open a session of firefox. Select the Firefox Menu > new tab > new window. In fact, a new window opens.

  This is the only method of opening a new window in the same browser session or profile that actually works on my system. Attempting to open a browser session from the task bar "open new window dialog" or opening a new window while a current window/session is running will not open firefox in a new window or a new tab in the current session. The "Firefox is already running, but is not responding" error will occur every time.
  

  Make sure that you do not start Firefox with the - No.-remote switch or have defined the MOZ_NO_REMOTE = 1 environment variable (Control Panel > system > advanced > environment variables).
