Think of Windows that my HD is full (30 MB remaining) but I just dumped 70 GB of stuff. CHKDSK displays ~ 75 GB available. What can I do?

Dell Inspiron 2x2GHz, 283GB HD C:, D: 14FR (empty and will not format - no FAT, not NTFS). Vista Home Premium SP2 installed. Empty basket of empty showing but HD become more complete. D: does the same thing, so I reformatted to reinstall Vista clean now D: will not take FS a reason any. Without reinstalling Windows of space (Dell) will not install. I'm afraid to stop because it does not start no doubt. Disk Cleaner shows nothing to delete. WinDirStat displays ~ 75GB "". No disk space and I cannot even burn backups, but it's not too important.  Help!

And I'm broke w / no money for repairs, just at the time I had a book to design for a few $!.

Hi Dave Reed.

I suggest you to consult the following link to convert the hard disk partition to NTFS.

  • My computer windows vista laptop says that it is not enabled. When I try to 'reactivate' using the code stuck to the computer, it fails. What can I do?

    So, to my office, I have a laptop HP under Vista Home Premium x 86.  All of a sudden he says he is not enabled.  All my attempts to activate it using the code stuck on the PC itself did not work.  I need to get this computer to work properly, and I can't risk having a problem with him on the road.  My attempts to contact HP only ending with them telling me that they could remote virus scan and it would cost me over $ 100.

    I also bought a vista "anytime upgrade" and it won't let me even upgrade the system without the activation code.

  • I have installed photoshop and lightroom.  1. I'm trying making panoramas, and it won't work.  I think the problem is that I don't have enough ram to do multi photo software?  How much ram by image? 2. What can I put programs on the new computer?

    Can I get help on this forum?

    Try to make the panorama by simply using Photoshop, so LR does not also from memory.   The general process is to save settings in XMP files, select images in Bridge, then tell bridge to call PS make the panorama.

    Step 1.  Save Metaata files in LR: make changes in LR.  In the LR library grid, select the images for the panorama.  Then, right-click of metadata / save metadata files (make sure that it is said that files don't file not).

    Step 2.  Close LR.

    Step 3.  Open the bridge and go to the folder with the images for the panorama.  Select the same images in Bridge.  Choose tools / Photoshop / Photomerge in Bridge with these selected images.

    Continue with the normal process of Photomerge in PS.

    You can also blow up bridge and begin step 3 of the PS, using the file / automate / Photomerge, but in my experience of Bridge take not much more memory, at least compared to Lightroom.

    ---

    If things still do not work no matter how effective you try to minimize taking programs from memory, you may need to work around the problem of exporting more small 16-bit targets your raw files, then use Bridge/PS to merge those which will I hope less memory.  There is no good way to predict how much memory is needed by the image, although you might experiment with small sizes of images to see how much memory they take and consider the maximum size to try.  Don't forget that you can also control the amount of memory PS tries to attribute to himself in PS / preferences / Performance.

  • With the help of Windows 8 (not updated to 8.1) with a Lexmark x 2470 printer - sometimes it works, and then suddenly "Communication not available" - How can I solve this problem?

    I can print a range of documents, and suddenly, without any change in what I do, the printer & computer simply decide that they do not communicate with each other.  Then, this problem will persist for days.  Then, one day, it works again.  What is going on?

    Hello

    You could try to turn on the "print spooler"...

    This is the start must be set "auto"...

    You can also to ensure that the "bidirectional support' is turned on.

    The 'print spooler' can be found in the Panel... Administration tools... Services.

    To find the bidirectional Support, right click on the printer in devices and printers, select the printer, PORTS tab properties and it will be near the bottom...

    I don't know why it would work, leave, then work again, except perhaps for a problem of connection of some type.

  • Windows that display only half of the disk capacity

    I have a new laptop HP EliteBook with Windows 7 SP1 is installed. SSD has 500 GB, but the system is only half of the disk capacity show.

    What can we do?  Thank you.

    CHKDSK discovered...  0 KB in bad sectors. 719099 KB in use by the system. 65536 KB occupied by the log file. 89854676 KB available on disk. 4 096 bytes in each allocation units total 60636159 the disk allocation unit. 22463669 allocation units available on disk.

    Coincidentally reduce then extend the volume again?

    CHKDSK is essentially a tool of file system and the capacity of the disc that you see in the Explorer disc property is actually the size of the file system rather than the physical size of the volume, the physical size of the volume is based on the head of sector, while the size of the file system is based on the number of clusters (allocation units).  The file system has a total of clusters 60636159 x 4096 bytes = 248,365,707,264 bytes.

    Different size according to the different tools are both correct, but the file system is not using the entire partition, you need to extend the file system with the Diskpart tool.

    At a command prompt, enter the following commands:

    C:\ > DISKPART
    DISKPART > list Volume
    DISKPART > select volume c (here, you can use the figures given by the Volume of the order list or use the actual letter of the volume, in your case 'c')

    DISKPART > extend filesystem
    DISKPART > exit (exit Diskpart)

    Here is a screenshot of the procedure:

    The file system extension is relatively safe, but as always you should ensure that you have a good backup of your files before doing any kind of work of system disk/partition or file.

  • I click on the Windows Explorer icon to access my files and libraries, but nothing happens.

    Hello

    I can't access my photos, videos, documents, etc. because I can't in my files anyway I have try. If I click on the icon in my taskbar Windows Explorer, it highlights as if it will open, but this just highlight fades and nothing happens as if I has not yet clicked (no error notice or anything).

    When this happened enough times, I tried entering my Start menu and search bar "search programs and files". He showed me the results of research (such as the names of files in the start menu), so I know everything is still, but nothing happens when I click on them.

    However, I can still download files online when a site gives me the ability to click a button in the Web site to do.

    All this happens on and outside, and I don't know what are the is or what causes that actually get better at random.

    Also: Something that occurs when Windows Explorer is working is that any attempt to open My Documents is blocking my computer. I can no longer access my documents unless I can search in the start menu (which, even once, does not always). I resorted to store my documents online because of this.

    If anyone can help me to solve these problems, I would be very happy! I need my cell phone all the time while I'm in College, and while I'm at home.

    I think to make the Surface RT but y at - it a soft for Windows that is Director basic that you can use?

    Original title: windows essentials

    Hello

    Desktop applications only which can work to the Surface RT are Office Office RT and IE10. Apart from this, you will need to find a modern application (aka metro) of the Windows store.

    Thus, you can not install Windows Essentials, which is a desktop application on the Surface of RT.

    Video editing is very demanding on computer equipment/resources. Tablets are not the best devices for this type of work even if you do not find an app. I can see some video party 3rd edition apps on the Store Windows but I have no experience with them.

    Hope that helps.

    Hi Snyder22,

    I understand how frustrating it can be to see ongoing ads on your computer. I have an article for you with information about the stop of this behavior:

    Stop the cAds in Safari - Apple Support

    https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT203987

    The behavior you describe can be better attributed to adware, referred to in this section of the article mentioned above:

    If you could have the adware installed on your Mac.

    If the pop-ups still on your Mac, you might inadvertently downloaded and installed adware (advertising-taking software supported). Some software that you download from some third-party download sites can include the software you want and the adware.

    If you think you have Adware on your Mac, update to the latest version of OS X El Capitan. If your Mac already has the latest version of El Capitan, restart it. El Capitan removes adware only when connecting. If you still see the advertising on your Mac, Contact Apple.
