Vista, Win sxs file exploded at 50 GB on a laptop of 80 GB available. How I can't take the sxs file in a reasonable size?
The file sxs on my mother Vista machine is giant and unnecessarily huge (50 GB). I know 'cleansing' will reduce, but I've read about many users reported a small reduction in size. Obviously, this thing doesn't have to be anywhere near 50 GB in size, especially when the HD is only 80 GB total.
What is the real way to kill this file down to the 8-15 GB, that it should be? Please do not respond with simple "cleaning" - there must be a way to really shoot this thing.
Thank you!
There is nothing that works. If he got that big, something has gone wrong. You may have to reinstall Windows.

ORIGINAL TITLE: Product key
How/where can I find the 25-digit product key requested by Microsoft when I try to open a file on a SanDisk?

What kind of file is it? What is its extension (the characters
After the dot at the end of the file name)? And what program is trying
to open it and needs a product key?Please answer these questions, but I'll also venture a guess: you
try to open a file with Microsoft Word and Word .docx or .doc
request a product key.
If this is the case, in all probability, your computer comes with a trial version
version of Microsoft Office pre-installed. Your trial period is now in place and if
you want to continue using it, you must buy a copy and get a
product key for this.Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP

To archive my e-mail files until I decided to switch to Thunderbird, I create regular folders in windows and drag and drop emails to outlook express in the appropriate folders. The "update" column displays the original date of the email... which is what I want to do with Thunderbird. In my view, that he treats it as a new file created today... that is not good for my archiving system of these professional work files that I need to find often in approximate date.
I understand the forum that it is by default in Thunderbird. There is an add-on that can do what I'm doing?
Thank you in advance,
NetwonI think the reason what OE is the original date because each message is stored in a single file, while TB stores all messages in a folder in a file, an mbox file. Thus, when you save a message as a single eml file, its 'modification date' corresponds to the eml file date was written in the mbox file.
You can find the ImportExportTools add-on useful because it allows you to add the date of the e-mail eml file name when enamel is exported ("Save selected messages" of the message right-click menu).

I tried to change it by using the taskbar properties. The classic Start menu option is not selected. So what's happened? Hope I can get a quick fix. Thanks in advance!
This might help:
Since the Panel control/customize, go to themes and check that the theme of Windows Vista is activated.
If it is not available, click Start and type services.msc, and then press
to open the dialog box. Scroll the themes service, and then click it. Click start it or restart option in the left column. Once restarted, check again the themes of customization dialog box. -

How can I recover the files and programs before a system restore? my document folders are all empty and my programs will not open!
I know they are there and hidden somewhere, but this restoration took my settings of the computer to 2004! We lost all our data, our software that we use to operate our company at home, our quickbooks that has all our financial data, family photos, videos, Outlook will work not so no e-mail, all turned in time and 6 years ' worth of documents have disappeared.
What happeneded was that I was trying to upgrade to quickbooks software when I got an error, I cancelled out of the facility, then restarted and that's when I got an error hal.dll something? I thought about a system restore would allow me to go back in time to just before when the error occurred, but he basically took my computer back to factory settings, so all the programs that I installed and paid hundreds of dollars for the past six years has disappeared, Microsoft Office and very expensive construction estimating software that we wil have to pay once AGAIN for If I can't get this program working properly.
I am a fool! I can't believe what's happening.
Someone at - it instructions on how I can retrieve either the programs and data that I need specifically or how to go and seek shade from the files I read online on and restore my computer for about 12 hours ago?
Thank you all!
Sally in Georgia
Looks like you did a system rather than a system restore recovery. If you have inserted a disc supplied with your machine and booted from it, you probably erased the disc and installed the original operating system provided with your computer. Usually, a step in this recovery is to do a full format or quick of your drive. If you did a full format, your data is permanently lost. With a quick format, your data may still be there, somewhere but inaccessible by normal means. Applications must generally be installed, in order to recover the files probably will not help unless you have the original installation media. Your other data files (images, videos, financial data) may be salvageable, but at this point, it would be advisable to take your computer or your disk to a business/professional who is experienced with data disc recovery. It will be cheap and there is no guarantee.
Impatient, remember investigate you a backup strategy for your computer and critical data. Hard drives can go wrong with little or no warning.

How can I update the last line in a file.
Hello
I need to add text that should be on the 2nd last line of a text file. I get the last line using RandomAccessFile and surroundings,
updated the code above, I'm trying to add the text to the last line. But instead of add, the above code simply replaces the last line.fileHandler.seek(fileHandler.length()-1-lastLine.length()-1); fileHandler.writeUTF("last_line\r"+lastLine.replaceFirst("0x00", "0x80"));
How to solve this problem?
BR
UmerJust by adding a single line to rewrite the entire file may not be a good idea eapscially when the file is in MBs. so that is the reason why I use RandonAccessFile,.
You don't know that? HDs store files on several trays at the same spot on the Board, so you won't lose anything in rewriting.
I have also an other question. In other words, how I can I know the last line is achieved using PrintWriter?
Steps to follow:
1. read the entire file into a string
2. parse the string by using the String.lastIndexOf ("\n") to the last character of line break.
3. use printwriter to write the string up to the last line (use string.substring), then give your new data, and then enter the second part>

Qosmio G20-110 with Vista-> cannot transfer files to SD card
Hello
I created Vista on this machine by following the instructions of Francisco Jr. Everything works fine except
1. I can't transfer files on a SD card. I get the following error:
«Error 0 x 80070079 semaphore time out...» »2. He reformatted not either. If I try to format it, I get the following error:
"Windows could not format the drive.
The Toshiba SD Memory Format utility would not work either.The same problems occur if I insert a Memory Stick. Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem? I noticed some people on the forum with a similar problem toshiba Satellite:
http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=25227&MessageID=95150??The strange thing is, I can not read the card no problem, copy her okay and even delete files it contains. But I can't transfer files to it and I can't format it. The card works fine in other laptops with internal SD disks. In addition, it works fine if I plug an external drive in the Qosmio. Under XP it was no problem. I tried to reinstall Vista, reinstall the drivers supplied by Francisco Jr. and ran windows update several times. But I still get the same problem.
Looks like a problem with Vista not being able to communicate properly with the SD Qosmio player. Would appreciate any help on this.
See you soon.

Hello
As you probably know not all cards are supported and can be used!
In of the Qosmio G20 unit user manual you should find information what cards argues the Qosmio G20card player!
Please check this box.Regarding your card problem SD;
Well, I read that you also a message in another thread.
http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=25227And regarding the declaration, you can read data from SD cards. But it seems that you can not always copy or remove the data from the SD card.
Well, the SD card should normally pay a locking function. If the card is locked you can only read but you will not be able to remove something from the card or you will not be able to format the card.
I think you should check this switch! -
Can I get my MS Works 9 to computer running Vista, win 8
Ripping my hair out on new HP laptop running windows 8.1. Big jump from Vista. No cd player. I would like to transfer documents on what etc. created in MS Works to the new computer, but I'm puzzled, completely. So do not have the program to be transferred to a disc must be direct or portable drive? There, can anyone help?
Hello
MS Works does not work on Windows 8 or 8.1 Windows, BUT you can copy the documents from work to new machine as files and then use other Microsoft products to open and save as a new format. You can copy them to a portable player (USB key or external HARD drive) from the old to the new computer.
Kind regards.
