• When I run the Defragmenter I end up with large blocks of fragmented files that will not move much matter how many times I run.

  The report telling me I need to defragment this volume.  Total of 20% of fragmentation, 41% free space fragmentation 0% file fragmentation.  The last time I've run the defragmentation tool I don't remember this existing problem.  I think I would have noticed these large areas of red and he questioned.  It was about six weeks ago.  My computer worked more slow and sometimes simply hanging.  I downloaded Firefox a few weeks ago, but slowdown problems existed before this and I have not downloaded anything else except a program to deal with DOCX. files that do not seem to help me so I got rid of him. That's four months ago or not.  I ran so many tests I can think... hard drive check... cleaning disc etc...  I don't know how I got in this mess, nor how to correct.  I seems to me just that I close up with a disk full of files that are fragmented if I can't find a solution.  Any help would be appreciated more with gratitude.

  Please answer the following questions:

  1. What is the size of your hard drive (C :) and the amount of free space is left? (Open my computer, right-click on the icon for drive Local (c), select properties and declare what you see in the 'Général' tab for the used space and free space.)
  2. Even if you have the properties of the State open, (c) if the box down to "Allow the Indexing Service to index this disk for fast searching of files" is checked or unchecked.
  3. Right click on desktop, select Properties, and select the tab "system restore."  Is the drive (C :) followed by the system restore?  Assuming that the answer is 'Yes', make sure the drive (C :) is selected and click on the 'Settings' button.  What is reported as the amount of used disk space?  For now, simply "Cancel" your way out of these settings screens.
  4. You use integrated Windows XP Disk Defragmenter or are you a 3rd - party for this program?
  5. What version of XP, including the service pack is installed?
  6. What do you use to apply antivirus (include the version) and your membership is up-to-date?
  7. Have you scanned your system recently with MalwareBytes Anti-Malware or SUPERAntiSpyware?

• some of my desktop icons will not open

  Original title: the desktop icons

  I was in a Web site on Internet Explorer when I got kicked out of him and a virus warning box appeared.  After that some of my icons on the desktop does not open.  For example, when I click on an icon for remote access, I get a message that says "application not found".  When I try to go in Outlook Express (e-mail) of the icon on my desktop it now forces me to select a program to run in the.  The same thing with Microsoft Word.  Why is this happening?

  Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft answers Forum.

• XP... The desktop icons will not put

  XP... The desktop icons will not put. I did a lot of research on this issue, read the different responses on many forums, including and have tried much of the recommendations... I'm not familiar with the functions of establishment of the arrangement of the desktop icon and this is the first time I met this kind of problem. "Lock Web items on desktop" is checked, "Snap to grid" is not checked (my preference, but I find that it will check mysteriously itself after the icons rearrange themselves to the left of the screen, apparently by making use of automatic reorganization, even if it is not checked), I tried securityguy14 registry change response dated December 7, 2009 , have installed and use the program "Icon restore" that changes the Recycle Bin, my computer, and another icon of office, I do not remember to add a backup/restore function for the setting icon on the desktop... is what bought me a brief period of mental health before they rearrange themselves after a few constantly unidentifable strike entered sometimes without "rhyme or reason", not unique to anything, preventing me from shrink down to a specific cause. I conducted several audits of malware with paid and free programs and there is no indication of anything invading my system, it works fine other wise. Help!

• I used 'Customize Firefox' to change toolbars show, and now the Firefox Customize, tab keeps appearing no matter how many times I close.

  The window customize Firefox and tab guard popping open at seemingly random times. This continues to be no matter how many times I close.

  One possible reason is that if it was added as a second 'Home tab' in which case it will be displayed in each new window (Ctrl + n) and every time that you click the Home button.

  To verify that you can use the page Options, as described in this article: start-up, homepage, tabs and download settings.

  Look for a vertical bar character at the heart of the area that separates the two addresses. A simple example with short URLS:

  https://www.mozilla.org/|about:customizing
  

  The bar certainly can be hard to spot with long URLs, but when you find it, delete everything to the right of the bar, then the bar itself (I suggest to remove the last bar so things don't accidentally get it together).

  Apple Photo 1.3 serious problems - how can I SOLVE all these problems?

  (1) breaks down without rhyme or reason no matter where I am in the workflow.

  (2) pictures will not be Shut Down Every Time, even after several days of waiting.

  (3) aPhoto frequently badly chooses picture in the EDIT picture option, I get a picture different than the one I clicked on which is on a 100 pictures in a row.

  (4) picture constantly order of photos in a slideshow changes no matter how many times the movements of the end user the photo back to the good look at an order. Example: Bathroom Plans eventually grouped with pictures of kitchen! I have found no way to stop this weird behavior! Is there a way to stop this? If I drag the photo again some 7 additional photos in the slide show, after a minute or less, he appears again to where it was it not. !@#$%$#

  (5) If you make any CHANGES to a photo, it often changes the appearance of your complete slideshow of this picture with impatience. So you lose all this not work fix your configuration of the slide show. Even changing the order of photos once more that I had put back where they should be. !@#$$#@

  (6) photo identifies often shades of lamps and long door handles as the faces of the people.

  (7) photo made bad decisions when it comes to brightness, contrast and colors effortlessly around other than to use other software, where as with iPhoto there was a lot of workarounds. I could continue, but will save one who might be reading of this.

  I am up to date on all updates for my Mac. If anyone have REAL answers so please spilling the beans, but according to me, it's the only truth is that Apple has rolled out a product inferrer to replace an exceptional product, called iPhoto, which does not work on my new iMac computer 5K of 27 ".   If I knew what I would have chosen another computer that I use iPhoto to prepare more of fifty to sixty thousand photos in a given year and I use iPhoto to make hundreds of slideshows from it.  Are there plugins for Photo 1.3? I ask because I see where there could be Add-ons, but I can't find.

  Apple has taken a serious decision by turning his back to iPhoto and tens of millions of loyal users.

  Thanks in advance to anyone brave enough to tackle this job.

  Hi Jseiver,

  Thanks for posting answers.microsoft.com

  First of all, it would be ideal to determine exactly what is the error, or if an error occurs when you try to open OUTLOOK.  You can use reliability monitor to examine this information, and that you post in the forum.  To view reliability monitor, click Start ORB / right-click on computer - select Manage / Analyzer performance and reliability-click / Select reliability monitor.

  In the monitor of reliability to the bottom of the window, it will show the system stability report.  Look under five failure reports to find all the information about this conflict and report that information in the forum.

  You can uninstall the update-

  To uninstall a patch on Vista, go to control panel and click programs and features. In the left pane, click on view installed updates. All your updates of the program, but also updates Microsoft appears here. You can click on the latest patch to remove it from your computer. »

  Or given that this problem has occurred recently, you can always restore your system to a previous restore point.  Don't forget not all downloads changes or data occurred after the restore point has been taken up will be lost.

  Here is information on restoring your system to an earlier date of restoration:
