  In Windows 7, you can get a lot of details by selecting Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, system information, components, storage disks. It was very similar to Windows XP, but for all information users tend to use Everest or Belarc Advisor for additional information not available. Everest has been best Bellarc advice but they ceased to offer tan updated free version. However, the 2.20 version is always available from third-party sites.

• Can not turn on my computer... "the windows logon system process unexpectedly... system shutdown.

  When I turn on my computer, a blue screen appears and it says: 'the windows logon system process done unexpectedly...... closed system '. "what this means?

  I forgot to answer one question:

  You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  The most likely problem is that this file is missing:

  c:\windows\system32\winlogon.exe

  It might have been put in quarantine (actually deleted) by your antimalware/antivirus program, if you need to replace it.  There are other copies of the file on your system, which you can use to replace the missing file.

  You have to boot your system on something to do that, so if you have no real XP bootable installation CD, make a CD bootable XP (no XP media required) Recovery Console.

  Sometimes there is a problem to get into XP with XP Home Recovery Console, but work on this first, then we will see the replacement of the file:

  If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

  This is not the same as recovery disks that may have come to a store to purchase the system.

  You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

  The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

  xp_rec_con. ISO

  Download the ISO from here:

  http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

  Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

  http://www.ImgBurn.com/

  Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

  http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

  It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

  You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

  When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

  Press any key to boot from CD...

  Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

  Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

  Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

  You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

  You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

  C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

  The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

  For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

  A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

  In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

  Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

  Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

  CHKDSK C: /r

  Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

  It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

  You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

  When own running chkdsk/r, we can replace the file.

  1. do you receive error messages when you access the Windows XP system?

  You can check in the Windows 7 system if the password protected sharing is enabled. When protected by password sharing is enabled, people using other computers on your network cannot access your shared folders or printers unless they have a user account on your computer.

  You can turn off password protected sharing and check if it helps.

• Can not stop cryptographic services to rename the Catroot2 folder.

  Hello

  I recently bought Halo 2 for WIndows Vista and tried to run it on my pc, which uses windows 7 Home premium. Since I installed the game, whenever I play it stops, saying that "Games for Windows Live could not... etc" I looked up the solution on a microsoft forum, and he said to rename the folder c:\windows\system32\catroot 2 by stopping the cryptographic service. ""

  Whenever I try to stop the cryptographic service, I get:

  System error 5: access denied

  I tried running the cmd as administrator prompt, and I get the message: "the application pause, continue or stop is not available for this service"

  I can also rename the Catroot2 folder, as he always says: ' this folder could not be renamed because it is already in use... etc ", but I think it's because I have not stopped the cryptographic service".

  What I'm doing wrong and what should I do to fix this?

• Disk space used by the Windows folder

  Hi guys I found that my windows folder takes a lot of my disk space. It takes 31 GB of my C: / drive... .and I saw on other computers just 15 and 16 GB of disk space. I also found that Winsxs is taking up to 18 GB 31 GB of the windows folder. Can you please tell me what can I do for this problem all...

  Investigating disk space use to download, install and run Treesize (freeware) as an administrator.

  http://www.Jam-software.com/treesize_free/

  Place a Treesize shortcut on your desktop, right-click on the icon and select run as administrator to open Treesize. You must run as administrator to see all the files. If you do not see the content of the System Volume Information folder you have not run Treesize as administrator.

  Information about Treesize

  http://www.Jam-software.com/treesize_free/

  When you open Treesize scan select in the Menu and you will see a list of drives. Click on C and it will generate a list of files. Display the names and sizes of the larger 6 under windows folders.

• Free space on the C drive. How big should the Windows folder (normally) be?

  I have a HP desktop with a 90G hard drive for drive C with 74G of real ability.  Drive C is now available 1.02 G.

  I've already moved all documents on an external drive to free up space and I have more left to move.  The Windows folder has 54G with 35253 files and 3437 files.  I have Disk Defragmenter and disk cleanup which reduces the Windows folder by less than 1 G.

  What is 'normal' for Windows size, if there is such a thing?  How can I make smaller windows?   I have no idea of what files are in the windows can be deleted.  Any ideas?

  Thank you!

  This is not true.

  The %windir%\system32\spool\PRINTERS file is supposed to contain jobs waiting to be printed.  This is the print spooler.

  This suggests two things: either you have malware files in that folder (which seems unlikely), or you send print jobs to a printer to be connected to your computer, but now is not.  When you realized that a job does not print, you re - sent to the correct printer.

  In all cases, follow these steps, which will empty this folder (and make your system perform better).

  A. Clean on print jobs pending

  • Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
  • Type the following in the black command prompt window, and then press ENTER after each line

  net stop spooler
  del/q '% windir%\system32\spool\PRINTERS\*.* '.
  net start spooler
  output

  Once you do this, go to printers and faxes and uninstall all of the printers that you no longer need... and remember that the default printer (the one with the box) is the one which is effectively connected to the computer.

• Deleting files in the Windows folder.

  I have $NtuninstalKB... files $ in my Windows folder. I could delete them without affecting Windows?

  P S long

  You can remove them without making the overall Windows operatin, the question is why do you want to do this?

  I can only guess one of two things...

  (1) you're obsessed with cleaning the Windows folder (and all the others.)  A compulsion.

  (2) you are trying to free up as much space as possible for some reason any.

  Whatever it is...

  Do a house cleaning and the dust of this hard drive:

  You can free up disk space (will also help get rid of the things that you do not use) through the following steps:

  Windows XP should take between 4.5 and 9 GB * with * an Office suite, editing Photo software, alternative Internet browser (s), various Internet plugins and a host of other things installed.

  If you are comfortable with the stability of your system, you can delete the uninstall of patches which has installed Windows XP...

  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.
  3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
  4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
  5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

  You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

  Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

  -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
  -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
  -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
  -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
  -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
  -Click OK.
  -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
  -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

  You can use an application that scans your system for the log files and temporary files and use it to get rid of those who:
