  • Minimum system requirements for Windows

    I'm having a 'debate' with a friend about the minimum hardware specs for Windows 7 and Windows 8.  My friend is suggesting that Microsoft greatly underestimates the amount of hard drive capacity required to support these two BONES.  Specifically, he mentioned that they do not consider the amount of space for the cache files and temporary files necessary for the operation of Windows and they minimize the requirements in order to sell the operating system.

    My thoughts are that if these files are required to run the operating system, then Microsoft took them into consideration and include them in the analysis that its in line/compatibility upgrade tool performs.
    You wonder what some of you think about these things.

    Minimum is a lot different than recommended. Minimum is the lowest absolute that is needed to install and use Windows. This will work, but not well. Some of the older style netbook PC being used to the strict minimum and they worked well, but they were very limited in what they could do. Web browsing, light word processing was what you could do with good performance. Other that that, you do not want to upgrade the RAM and hard drive.

    It is very recommended to exceed the minimum requirements for an operating system if you want to use it for any practical purpose, however.

  • Trying to remove the folders from Windows one system empty, but in error "is a Windows system folder and is required for Windows work.» It cannot be deleted. »

    My parents bought a laptop from a friend, and recently my father ran an antivirus program that came with multiple files in a folder that has been created by this friend. When you try to delete the folder a box appears that says "it is a Windows system folder and is required for Windows work.» It cannot be deleted. "But all the folders inside are empty and of no use to us. Help?

    The standard answer to questions that begin with «I bought a used computer...» "is you can do a clean install of Windows, because you know not what could be hiding somewhere in the computer.  In this case, it seems as if he is infected with something.

    Legally, the seller was required to give you a way to do this reinstall, but in the vast majority of the private sales of used computers, this requirement is simply ignored.

    If it's a laptop to 'mark' (e.g., Dell, HP, IBM/Lenovo) there may be a hidden partition on the hard drive that can be used to restore the computer to its "fresh from the factory" State.  Of course, this will remove all applications that the previous owner had installed after he or she has bought new, but you should still seriously to consider making such a restore, if the mechanism is available.

    What is the name and the version of the antivirus application that has detected the wrong files?
    What are the names of the files?
    What is the name of the folder that cannot be deleted?
    Are you logged on as a user with the rights "computer administrator" when you try to delete it?

    Assuming that you can not or will not do a clean install of Windows, I suggest the following (do not run scans at the same time, each analysis may take some time, depending on the number of files on the computer):

    Connect as a user with the privileges "computer administrator" and do a full scan with each of the following:

    Maybe someday the dialog box 'ask a question' forums XP will ask these questions automatically when a new thread is started so I don't have to ask every time.  It might even be possible to solve a problem in a single response when enough information is provided.

    Please provide additional information on your system:

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    If you have a genuine XP installation CD bootable which corresponds to your currently installed Service Pack, you won't get away with instructions to run sfc/scannow.

    Windows file protection wants to replace a file of the backup copy he keeps in the dllcache folder and WFP found that the backup copy of the file on your system is not look right, so he complains (there is a list of 3498 files PAM knows).

    When you see the original message, if you click Cancel, then choose 'keep' the file afflicted, you will see a warning message, and then a message like this in the case where the system log viewer:

    As you can see, the file that WFP is concerned is clearly stated in the paper, so now you know what is the file.

    For the above example, I used my (taskmgr.exe) Task Manager file to reproduce the problem.  You need to see what your event viewer message says.
