Tried to defrag, it said I didn't have enough memory, whatever that means and how can I solve this problem?
My computer is running really slow, so I tried to defrag, clean, I got an error of memory. I'm not able to download updates to some programs that I use for. I don't know how to solve this problem, I tried a restore of the system to an earlier date, but that no longer works. Need help.
Hi Katiebug1,
1. did you of recent changes on the computer?
2. When was the last time that the computer was working fine?
3. do you have security software installed on the computer?
4. what happens when you try to install updates for some programs? You receive an error message?
Method 1

Method 2
If you are unable to run on the computer Disk Defragmenter, then it is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.
I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.
To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

(a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.
(b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

(d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

I searched the internet for an explanation for what is the problem and a SOLUTION. Of course, all I get are 'quick fix' downloads for $39.99 - which, in my moment of desperation, I fell prey to., of course, he did not - it really did a restore of the system - which, moreover, was the FIRST thing I did.

I attempt to backup my iPhone several times and it does not backup. I received a message stating "several files were not available at the time of the backup. How can I solve this problem?
Hello Lope8725,
Looks like you are trying to backup either iCloud or iTunes, but you have found an error on files being unavailable. Can reply you with the exact wording or a screenshot of the message you are getting?
In the meantime, you can solve the problem with either of those two sections depending on whether or not it's iTunes or iCloud:
If iCloud backup could not be completed or if you can not restore
or
If your iTunes backup could not be completed or you cannot restore from a backup
See you soon!

I tried the solution .bat with no effect. What is next? Thank you
Have you loaded Service Pack 2 and Service Pack 3 again? Windows updates will not work until you get loaded SP3, you need to load SP2 first, if it isn't already done.

http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=24 (SP3)Ignore warnings about these packages for computer scientists, or only for the excessive network installs and others. These are full Service Packs that can be installed without an internet connection or when no other SPs are installed.

Why the Microsoft Shadow program could not be installed? I tried to do a system restore and not able to. I tried to update, went into Device Manager. Nothing is workin. I can have ruined Services because I tried to turn it on. Please, someone knows how can I fix?
Hi Marnie,
So if I understand correctly, you have already checked if the Volume Shadow Copy - service is on?
If not, go to 'Services' (start-> type "services.msc" in the search bar and press ENTER.)
Scroll down to "Volume Shadow Copy", double click it and check the startup type. It must be manually or automatically. If it is disabled, then change it to manual or automatic.Let us know OK? Thanks and good luck :)
Sébastien.
