Sony Vaio Vista, showing 135 GB 320 GB is used but can't see where

HI there gentlemen/ladies,.

One and a half year back I OPurchased Sony Vaio form the showroom of Sony in UAE UNITED, in brief-320 GB HD and 4 GB of RAM with the 64-bit, the issue is that there is hardly any 2 GB of my own docs. and prog files 10 GB; (Note that I am always updating the online system) now properties of the computer that I just learned that 173 GB are free and remaining is used! but where? I did not install any prog. who needs more space! means that 135 GB is the difference that I do not understand where this space has disappeared?

Thank you.

* original title - I bought the Sony Vaio with 320 GB HD and4 GB of RAM, but now he shows more disk is used nearly 50% when all my doc. are difficult to 2 GB and it shows prog.files of sentence of 10 GB? *

Hi M.P.Nandavadekar,

You can try to run a disk cleanup to remove unwanted files and check if the problem persists.

For more information, run Disk Cleanup, see the following link:

  • Random disconnects Internet, Sony VAIO, Vista Home Premium 64-bit

    I'm on a desktop VAIO with Windows Vista Home Premium 64 - bit, connection to the internet through a linksys wireless router. Although all of the other computers in my house connects perfectly (two macbooks, an Asus laptop, an xbox 360, a desktop Dell computer), this computer constantly disconnects, usually when it has not been used for a few hours or more.  It seems to happen when the computer enters mode 'sleep', but I don't know yet.  What happens is the small internet icon in the lower right shows a yellow exclamation mark above her symbol and indicates that the computer has limited connectivity (it's less than 30 feet from the router and the mac just beside it works perfectly).  Other times, it seems to be entirely connected, but there is no internet access.  The only way to solve this problem is to restart the computer, or, as I discovered it recently, "diagnose and repair" and choose "reset the adapter" to solve the problem.  It's a minor annoyance until I have start downloading large files, during which I pray that the computer remains connected.

    ·                         Go to the website of the manufacturer of your router > make sure you have the latest Firmware in Vista for it.

    Go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/notebook > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > look for it last network adapters Vista drivers > download/install the.

    Try without commitment TCP/IPv6:

    If you still have internet connection probs, one thing to try is the separation of the TCP/IPv6 (which is done by going to network connection > right click > properties > it uncheck > OK.)

  • Brushes showing upward in the pre-defined menu, but can not use it

    So I'm in a class of digital painting and an assignment, I was painting with a certain texture brush I downloaded. I loaded it in PS. very well and he has appeared in the preset. However, for some reason I can't use it. Am I missing something here? I loaded brushes before so, I'm confused about why this is happening. I even tried placing it directly in the folder of the brush and it still does not work. I use Photoshop CC (64-bit)

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi pivolet,

    Try to use the default brushes, see if it works fine, if it is, then load the brushes in Photoshop.

    Also check if Photoshop is updated to Version 2015.1.2.

    Kind regards

  • Laptop Sony Vaio PCG - K35

    I recently had the problem with my laptop and formatted the entire hard drive on my Sony vaio laptop. Now I'm trying to use my recovery disk to restore the computer but this is not the case. I used the windows 98 disk and fdisk fact and it shows my HDD 10MB instead of 80 GB and that is the reason why he won't install, b/c no disk space. The laptop came with Windows XP, no idea why this is happening or how it can be fixed.

    shoemanfl,

    It seems that you have no POST issue.  Is it the caplock/numlock light up when you press it?  Did you try to connect to an external monitor to see if it's a matter of display dim?  If this is no a POSITION, try reinstalling the ram or using one at a time... you can also remove the optical drive and hard drive to see if you can start any found nail system.  If you can not always unity would require service...

    THIS PROBLEM IS WHEN CONNECT BLUETOOTH TO YOUR COMPUTER KEYBOARD, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR KEYBOARD, BUT IT IS FEATURES RATHER USELESS INCORPORATED BY THE MANUFACTURER OF THE COMPUTER.
    IF YOU HAVE A DELL, LENOVO OR ANY OTHER BRAND, YOUR SOLUTION CAN BE OF THE USELESS "" QUICKSET. "." EXE"PROCESS.

    WELL, after days of looking for a specific response from VAIO, finally I came with a solution for VAIO users whose computer is equipped with a receiver to blue tooth ATHEROS.

    1 - type "regedit" in Start-Run menu to open your registry database.
    2 - navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ATHEROS\VistaAddOn\KBNotify
    3. - the value of '0 '.
    Close regedit, restart your computer and you're done.
    Be careful not to change anything else in your registry, unless you know what you're doing.
    FIND THE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION TOOK ME SEVERAL HOURS, SHAME ON MICROSOFT AND SONY, IT IS THE MOST STUPIDEST USELESS FILM THAT I HAVE EVER MET.
    If your bluetooth receiver isn't ATHEROS, simply look for the brand name of your receiver instead of 'ATHEROS' and look for a similar register, it may look like 'BTTray', 'BTNotify' or similar.
    Good luck
