  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.

• removing an unwanted program

  I tried to remove an unwanted program from my computer, nothing helps. When I try to remove it, I get the message, there is no, so we can't delete. But the program pretty still shows on my list of programs and the space you need on my computer. Every other time when I removed a program, the program has been removed and unlisted. Why is this program still on the list, and it seems that it is still on my computer? The program is PC Maximizer, one of these PC repair operations. What every opinion continues? Is this "thing" still in my system? If this is not the case, why is it always appear on my lists of programs? Thank you.

• How can I uninstall unwanted programs that I have 65 in my list and they use 2.48 GB of storage?

  original title: PROGRAMS to UNINSTALL & FEATURES

  I've used this laptop (Windows Vista) about 500 hours in the 12-18 months (3 GB RAM & 320 GB HARD drive).  There are 65 PROGRAMS & FEATURES INSTALLED (for example, are 65 too in 12 to 18 months?) for a total of 2.48 GB.  Of the 65 programs & features, 15 were used "FREQUENTLY", three 3 were used "OCCASIONALLY" and all others, "RARELY."  The computer is Acer (c) and 244 GB free out of 286 GB.  The processor is 'Genuine Intel(r) CPU U2700 @ 1.30 GHz.  I would use this PC exclusively for WEB SURFING & YOU TUBE VIDEOS and especially of REARVIEW. TV (maybe there's another even better site for movies B & W '30 s, 40 s' & ' 50 s - I'm still doing research) to watch old Hollywood B & W movies.  I would appreciate any advice on what changes should I make of this laptop.

  Thank you very much.

• What I would do, my computer has so many unwanted programs, is to reinstall Vista and not all HP programs that I don't want.

  What I would do, my computer has so many unwanted programs, is to reinstall Vista and not all HP programs that I don't want.  It seems to make the computer too slow.  I don't have a Vista disc, only the recovery CD I did in the beginning. Can I recover and just reinstall Vista, or should I get back it?
  Thank you
  Bill

  original title: recovery

  If your "Vista recovery disc" is provided by the manufacturer of your computer, be it Dell, Gateway, Hewlett-Packard, etc... Then chances are he's doing a thing. Completely format your hard drive and restores your computer to the day you brought it home. It's a major nuisance for many people these days, as if you have an error and Windows says 'Please insert the Vista CD to fix it Windows' well, you do not HAVE the CD to correct the error. Your only option is a complete erasure of all data.

  So, my advice is to avoid ever NEED to use the recovery CD, and if you don't... hope you have backups of your important data (which is another thing, backup your important data often!).

• Impossible to uninstall unwanted program

  I reinstall programs on my computer after reinstalling Windows 7 due to viruses that have been on it.  So I'm being very careful what I download and check programs and features to ensure clean unwanted that piggyback on those programs, I want as quickly as possible.

  I have a program that I can't delete because windows 7 does not see when I search my cptr by name; its not listed in my downloads, programs, or wherever I can find.  I uninstalled it immediately after discovering it after a reboot, but that did not remove the pop-up window that appears when restarting and opening of various other programs.  It's a registry/PC cleaner called koox system optimizer and a web search indicates that this is a dangerous program and to remove it immediately.  but I can't uninstall that I can't locate.  I can't find it in safe mode either.  Where can I find a different name for it looking this way.  This time of its opening in my taskbar and yet nowhere go to be found among the list of installed programs.

  Any suggestions?   I don't want to just erase again (this is my 3rd time) and beginning of everywhere (I'm almost done!)

  Thank you.

• How can I get rid of unwanted programs?

  I received a notice of Firefox (with the logo of Firefox) than "obsolete browser detected" and a box to click to update my browser. I clicked on the box and ended up with 4 or 5 programs that I didn't have a new area of research, quality Watcher, a search for protection, browser protection device, including PC upward speed.

  Yes, you can disable some applications and increase the performance of s for laptop. You should not remove the system, but you can disable some of them from startup list.

  Go to start > run > put MSCONFIG > in the system configuration, click on the Startup tab, and clear the check box in front of the applications that you don't need.

  If you can send the list of all the applications listed there I can tell you which of them can be disabled.

  Hello

  1 did you do changes on the computer before the show?

  2. which version of the operating system are you using?

   

  Follow method 1 if you are using Windows 7.

  Method 1:

  To remove the program, go to:

  Uninstall or change a program

  http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Uninstall-or-change-a-program.

   

  Method 2:

  All messages for the pc power speed may be also malicious content.

  If the problem persists, then I suggest you perform a virus scan.
  Analyze the computer to remove all possible malicious content.

  See the following site:

  http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx.

  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  Original title - used laptop questions

  I inherited a laptop Toshiba family, now full of their information and mine, passwords, and others.  There a program according to Toshiba Recovery disk, which is easy enough for anyone to use?  I want just all the other information that mine are not off the computer, not necessarily the programs and associated files.  As my collection of mp3 curly and all my family photos.  The OS is Vista Home Basic 64 bit, if that matters.

  Hello

  If you get a second hand computer, you must reinstall the operating system and start to configure it as you wish.

  There are other reasons why it is recommended, that probably does not apply in your case: Malware, p0rn, etc..

  There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

  Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

  If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.
