Older update can be removed from the computer

original title: updates on my system< sony="" vaio="">

I have an old laptop that has had many updates over the years somethings say this cannot be removed of course there are others who show that they can be removed, butthese removable without doing damage to my system? operating Windows and updates to internet explorer. Some are dated back to 2004 & 2005 that I want to do it safely.

There is no such thing as 'old' updates.

They are there to protect against a vulnerability or to provide updates to the o/s.

The purpose of take away their defeats being there.

If you need more space, you must put in a bigger hard drive.

Or get an external hard drive and put your data on it.

Gerry C J Cornell - a regular contributor here and I quote:

You can create more free space in C in carrying one of the measures suggested below.

The default allocation for the restoration of the system is 12% on your C partition is more generous.

I have them would be reduced by 700 MB.

Make my computer right click on your icon, and select System Restore.

Place the cursor on your C drive select settings but this time find the slider and drag it to the left until it shows 700 MB and output.

When you get to the settings screen, click on apply and OK and leave.

A flaw that might be useless which is for temporary internet files, especially if you keep no copies on the disk offline.

Setting the default value is 3% of the walk.

Depending on your attitude to copies offline, you could bring it to 1% or 2%.

In Internet Explorer, select Tools, Internet Options, general, temporary Internet files, settings to make the change.

At the same time, look at the number of days, the story stands.

The default allocation for the basket is 10% of the disk. Change to 5%, which should be enough.

In Windows Explorer hover over your Recycle Bin, right click and select Properties, Global and move the slider from 10% to 5%.

However, try to let you become so complete that if it is complete and you delete a file by mistake it will bypass the Recycle Bin and have gone forever.

If your drive is formatted as NTFS another potential gain arises with your operating system on your C drive.

In the Windows directory of your C partition you will some uninstall files in your Windows folder in general: $NtServicePackUninstall$ and $NtUninstallKB282010$ etc.

These files can be compressed or not compressed.

If compressed text the name of the folder appears in blue.

If not compressed you can compress.

Right-click on each folder and select Properties, general, advanced, and check the box before you compress contents to save disk space.

On the general tab, you can see the winning amount by deducting the size on disk size.

File compression is only an option on an NTFS formatted disk partition / partition.

Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, system information, Tools, Dr. Watson, and make sure the box in front of "Add to the existing rating" is NOT checked.

This means that the next time that the log is written it will crush rather than adding to the existing file.

The setting of maximum size by default for Event Viewer logs is too big.

Reset the maximum value for each log from 512 KB to 128 KB and set it to crush.

Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, disk cleanup to empty your trash and delete temporary Internet files.

Also select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, disk cleanup, more Options, System Restore and delete all but the last system restore point.

Run Disk Defragmenter.

I hope this helps.

  • Impossible to install InDesign once removed from the computer

    Hi Indesign users,.

    Here are some technical details:

    1 MacMini 3.1, 6 GB RAM, OS X 10.9

    2 adobe CC - InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator

    3 inDesign has worked flawlessly until this morning.

    4. no update yesterday (Saturday, 30 November) and today (December 1)

    5. no fonts installed in between.

    What I did:

    This morning (1 December), I tried to open an InDesign file to check if my coworker has completed the project. The file is hosted on Dropbox in a folder that we share. Therefore, I did what I always do with any of my files IND: double-click it to open it. It has the file open, showed me a white screen with all the menus and tools of InDesign. And it was like that for several minutes until I decided to force IND quit smoking.

    Then I tried again simply open the IND software. IND began to gave me an error like: IND is blocking down a serious error...

    I turned off the computer, and he did it again. InDesign has the file open correctly, but I can't do anything: no no scrolling, no navigation between pages, nothing. He froze showing me a cursor circle Rainbow for the minutes. So, I decide, once again, to force the software to close. I can't open InDesign at all after that. The same serious error message is shown.

    I have delete all kinds of files based on things I've read on the forum: caches, workplaces etc. Nothing has worked.

    As I had enough of these errors I lived several months ago I decide to completeely remove the InDesign in the hope that I can reinstall it again once, clean without errors.

    I remove all instances where InDesign may be present. At least, I think that in this way.

    I shut down the computer and open it there even once, is went to Creative Cloud Desktop Manager and when I tried to choose install InDesign, surprise. The Manager is shopwing that InDesign is up-to-date. I can't install it.

    Help, please.

    I did a full instalation of my MAC, about a month ago just to get rid of these errors of InDesign. I had enough of it. I don't want to reinstall my MAC from scratch just because that damn application.

    Best regards,

    Sebastian

    P.S. I just read something on an old post. In this case I agree, there is a file with the extension: *.idlk that's why I can't open the InDesign file? What to do in the future when I see files like that? In any case, it is now unimportant because it won't save me from missing installation option for InDesign.

    You will probably need to run the cleanup tool now since you do not use the uninstall program to remove the program. See CS for installation problems cleaning tool | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3

  • Where is the peripheral origin obsolete event ID 370 print spooler? Obsolete device can be removed from the operating system?

    I get a recording of event ID 370, about once every four days, what about the EPSON Stylus COLOR 460 printer ESC/P 2. I recognize the device as an old device, which is no longer necessary, that I thought was completely uninstalled years ago and I am slightly surprised to see that the tracks still on the computer, or not, as it appears.

    It is that I don't know if this record event was caused by a device driver package or the registry keys and values? Is the event ID 370 caused by or for both (device driver package / registry values) being obsolete?

    I have the old appliance any longer, so it seems sensible to remove traces of the system and in turn eliminate the causes of event ID 370. However, to find all traces causing the registration of the event? What traces can be removed without problem?

    1 today, this device does not show as a device available in display devices and printers to devices and printers.

    2, I was unable to see a name similar unused volume in trying to remove the old device (when looking faded icons in the branches of the Device Manager with emphasis on -pilot no Plug and Play, other devices, portable devices, Port (COM & LPT), Printers).

    3 reveals regedit there are registry keys and values in the registry that reference naked always at "EPSON" searches for the word. Yes, I have reason to assume that these registry keys and values have caused event ID 370? Is it safe to delete the registry entries, or should the registry key entries to receive new values? (I don't want the deletion of these registry values to cause instability in the print spooler.)

    Event ID 370 Description:
    The print spooler could not regenerate printer driver information for driver Epson Stylus COLOR 460 ESC/P 2 for Windows x 64 environment. Win32 system 2114 error code (0 x 842). This can happen after an upgrade of the operating system or due to loss of data on the hard drive.

  • After update today no response from the computer after restart on June 6, 2009

    Hello. I just, I was wondering if someone who has updated XP today is having the same problems. I have updated the automatic updater and restarted as requested. The box came but no response no matter what, as if the hd was fried. All my fans turn on but nothing on the screen my DVD players don't openand even as the lights of the habit of my keyboard lights still. Any idea would be useful.

    Try unplugging al computer, power, cable make sure ther is not a CD or a DVD inserted and try again.
    If you get nothing on the screen is it possible that you're computer has hardware problems.
    Simply plug the necessary input devices and the power to run the diagnostic tests. (mouse, keyboard, scree)
    I wouuld also suggest to perform a complete diagnosis of a bootable CD.
    Your computer has an integrated video card? If you have an external disconnect and add plug the monitor cable onboard video card.

    Thank you
