Vs C than C drive D drive keeps filling

I ran out of storage space and deleted some things to give me more space. My computer says I have 2.10 GB free of 58.5 for drive C and 376 GB free 397 GB FIR drive D. When I download stuff, how can I get downloads to go on drive D rather than simply keep cluttering up the C drive? I did not understand that the D drive is part of my internal hard drive until I talked to a technician at Staples. My computer is only 3 years old and I just thought 58.5 GB of hard drive storage doesn't seem right.

Make sure that the D drive is not the recovery partition put there by the manufacturer of the computer. If it is, use IT for something else.

Any browser that you use, go to tools/options and you can change the download location here.

  • C: drive guard fill due to Mozilla Crash Reports

    Hello

    Recently, my C: drive keeps filling due to the huge amounts of Crash Reports generated by Mozilla. In a couple of hours use I'm filling 2-3 GB of space.

    I've identified the culprits are ' * .dmp ' files located in c:\Documents and Settings\Myusername\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports\pending.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox but the problem is still there. I have never had this problem before, but noticed that my C: drive has started to encounter this problem when I added "Ghostery" and "Blocker of Script" as add-on.

    I disabled the blocker script, but that did not help either. Can someone please advise as to why Firefox started to create thousands of dump files at all of a sudden?

    Thank you

    OK well first off the power, remove your anti-virus. I don't know why it appears in there but iolo is not a good anti-virus. We are going to use something like Microsoft security essentials.

    After that uninstall the Google Talk plugin. You should be able to do it from the windows control panel.

    Now, restart your computer, you still crashes? If this is not the case, try reinstalling google talk and see if it happens again.

  • My seagate drive external drive keeps ejecting properly after installation of OS El Capitan

    My seagate external hard drive keeps ejecting properly after installation of OS El Capitan, it locks also towards the top and turns off, the ext drive when using, I have to restart my IMac 27 inches.  I have two ext hd who does very well for years before the installation of the operating system El Capitan

    If you have installed the Seagate Software, please delete and see if there is no change.

    Any third party software that is not installed on the App Store or by drag-and - drop in the Applications folder and uninstall by drag - move to the trash, is a modification of the system.

    Whenever you delete changes to the system, they must be eliminated completely, and the only way to do this is to use the uninstall tool, if any, provided by the developers, or follow their instructions. If the software has been removed incompletely, you may redownload or reinstall even to finish the job.

    I never install modifications of the system myself, and except as stated in this comment, I do not know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find this information.

    Here are some general guidelines to help you get started. Suppose you want to remove the so-called "BrickMyMac" (a hypothetical example). First of all, menu using the product, check if there is one, for instructions. Not finding here, look at the Web site, let's say www.brickmymac.com. (Maybe it's not the name real site, if necessary, search the Web for the name of the product). If you don't find anything on the Web site or in your search, contact the developer. While you are waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be a request here as "Uninstall BrickMyMac." If this is not the case, open "BrickMyMac.pkg" and look for an uninstall button. The uninstall program can also accessible by clicking on the button customize, when one exists.

    Back up all data before making any changes.

    Generally, you will need to restart the computer in order to perform an uninstall. Until you do this, there may be no effect, or the unpredictable effects.

    If you can't remove the software in any other way, you will have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third party software, unless you're sure you know how to uninstall in the contrary case, it can create problems which are very difficult to solve.

    Try to remove the complex system of changes by hunting for files by name, often will not work and can make the problem worse. The same goes for 'utilities' as the 'AppCleaner"designed to remove software.

  • My AMD display driver keeps crashing in some videos

    My AMD display driver keeps crashing and stop any use of the computer for 5 to 10 minutes

    Hi Dennis,

    This is not a question of MSE and not sounds more like a problem of malware.  Looks like a hardware problem or a driver problem or maybe even a problem of file system containing your OS files.  It could be the video card, the monitor or something else (even if it seems to be this driver I suggest that you update to AMD first to see if that helps - even if he says it works very well in the Device Manager and the version at AMD is the same version that you have installed).  He might even have to do with the settings or types of videos - is there something special or different about these videos and they come from the internet or from a CD/DVD which can also be part of the problem (there is not enough information to determine these things and the 5-10 minute thing is source of confusing).  In essence, it could be the driver, or there could be a conflict any affecting the driver (or corrupt files or many things).  I could walk you through some troubleshooting steps, but it is better that you get the help of people who specialize in this.  In any event it is not here.

    If please repost to http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/hardware?page=1 (but actually go first to the top and your version of Windows to reach the appropriate forum for your entry system).  Experts in the material problems and driver for your operating system will be a pleasure to help you and you will receive the best help from these forums.  They can refer you to AMD to help, but it is likely that they will be able to help you without it (and the problem may simply need new drivers from AMD or other aspects of your system) - but if they come to that point, they will send you there in time.  The accident likely causes an error message any (that's why your system to know that it is the AMD display driver).  When you re - post, please include the exact error message and everything Word to Word with all codes that can help identify the cause of the problem.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Recovery disk - I restored my files, but the drive keeps telling me that it is almost full

    Recently, I backed up my files on the recovery drive. I have restored my files, but the drive keeps telling me that it is almost full. I don't know how to fix this.

    Restoring a backup does not remove the backup files.  You must remove them manually, unless you want to save in case another restore of that backup is necessary.

    And if you did it on your manufacturer's recovery disk, it wasn't a good idea.  This disc is for recovery only and should be used for anything else.  Find another drive to use for backups.  If this is the case, it may be best to contact the manufacturer and tell them that you were doing so they can help you to correctly resolve the situation without causing problems for disk recovery and your ability to use it as it should be used the need ever.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Adding a voting drive. Can we have more than 1 drive to vote?

    Reference:-issue voting disk

    answered by Silva

    (1) why don't we not create an odd number of voting record?
    With regard to the vote of the disks are concerned, a node must be able to access exclusively more than half of the discs with the right to vote at any time. So if you want to be able to tolerate a failure of n disks to vote, you must have at least 2n + 1 configured. (n = 1 means 3 discs with voting rights). To you can configure up to 32 disks with voting rights, to the providing protection against the 15 simultaneous disk failures.
    Oracle recommends that customers use drives 3 or more with right to vote in Oracle RAC 10g Release 2. Note: For best availability, 3 files of voting should be separate physical disks. It is recommended to use an odd number as 4 drives will be more highly available than 3 disks, 3 1/2 is 1.5... rounded up to 2, 4 1/2 is 2, once we lose 2 discs, our cluster fails with 4 disks with voting rights or 3 discs with right to vote.

    (2) only the cluster checks actually for the counting of the votes before node eviction? If so, could you expain this process briefly?
    Yes. If you lose half or more than all your discs with right to vote, then nodes get evicted from the cluster, or nodes to expel from the cluster.

    (3) what is the logic behind the documentaion note which says "each node must be able to see more than half the disks with right to vote at any time"?
    The answer to the first question is will also answer this question.

  • What are the security settings to lock a form with fields to fill and still allow someone drive to fill in the fields as as to save the form and print it?

    What are the security settings to lock a form with fields to fill and still allow someone drive to fill in the fields as as to save the form and print it?

    You want to allow someone to open your document and fill in the form (the fields that you have created), but not change or edit the form, right? Here is the answer - assuming you use Acrobat Pro and someone will open the PDF with the Acrobat Reader 9 minimum and more:

    Tools > Protection > encrypt< encrypt="" with="">

    Select YES to change security.

    Opens in a new window:

    Do not select NOT open the Document (or will require a password to open the document.)

    SELECT: Permissions (check the box next to ' Restrict editing and printing of the document. ")

    Change the following 2 settings in the drop-down list box:

    Printing allowed: select high resolution

    Changes allowed: select commenting on, fill in the fields on the form and signature of signature fields
    Selected leave: "enable access text for playback devices to screen for people with visual impairments.

    Change password Permissions (insert a password)

    Leave all the other settings alone in 'Options '.

    OK - OK

    Again enter the Permissions password (the one you entered above)

    OK - OK

  • Windows Vista PC keeps filling the disk space

    Windows Vista PC keeps filling the disk space, but programs like Treesize and Windows Explorer are not all of the additional files.

    The disc has about 45 GB of files, but the 220 GB drive is almost full. I suspect that a program will create orphaned files. CHKDSK is currently suspended from the second pass. Will try to run until the end of the day to the next.

    I turned on the hidden files and protected, it is not that I can't see the files. What can account for 150 + GB of invisible disk space?  Indexing of Windows seems to be active, although the C drive was marked to not be indexed.

    I know that a temporary internet file (content.ie5) is doubly hidden. Who had only 50 MB in it, so it's not the culprit. Any other hidden super-fichiers that everyone knows.

    Running Trend Micro PC-Cillin. The history of this creation of orphaned files?

    All the tools that look right at the MFT to see what is using the disk space and the avoidance of the directory tree?

    This isn't a matter of a few directories being wholesale, or clean old files. The space used is not anywhere to be found.

    Already run cleaning ccleaner and disk. Empty temporary files, Recycle Bin, etc. Only restore point. Registry clean with ccleaner.

    Never did anything on computer that could use 150 GB of space.

    If you look at just the computer, you can see disappearing disk space (maybe 1 GB an hour).

    Always seems to happen if you disconnect from the internet.

    Friend PC, so I did not have immediate access to it.

    Whence the free number 'space '? I'm just that an orphan file will not be displayed in a search in directories or with Treesize, but will use up to 'free space '?

    No sign of a virus.

    I understand that you have already scanned the hard drive with anti-virus software, although I suggest you try to run an online scan and check if it helps:

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

    Note: the Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again. 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.

  • Aspire V17 Nitro black GTX860, video driver keeps crashing / locking PC

    Hello to all and Hello,

    My laptop keeps either crashing the video driver and windows gives a message saying that he was able to recover (rarely it actually retrieves), normally it crashes my PC (mouse would start dragging slowly and then just stop) then everything crashes completely. I had to put it all to use the onboard graphics rather than the Nvidia GPU. I updated on my updates to windows with Windows 8.1 and when it started first of all, I was using the latest nvidia drivers, but he started that past so often that I went back 2 versions of the pilot and it was ok for about a week, but then started happening again yesterday. It happened once more this morning, fortunately it didn't shut up, but I got the error saying windows he recovered.

    I'm on an Acer Aspire V17 Nitro Black Edition, i7 4710HQ, 16 GB ram, GTX860M GPU, 359.06 driver version. Anyone have any ideas? The only thing that so far I've ever seen in the cases where display with regard to what is at all since this morning, and it was only a warning saying "display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered." ID #4101. Since I've already tried 3 different display drivers, I'm at a loss for anything else to try. Someone at - it similar problems?

    Thank you!

    Dan

  • Satellite Pro M50 DVD/CD drive keeps opening on its own

    Hello.. Basically, the subject says it all. My M50 is in very good condition, never dropped or left in the Sun, etc. and he started ejecting the disc at random points. Don't think its Malware or a virus - sometimes it will go without what happens for a few days, sometimes it'll keep popping open all the time.

    Ideas - I'm not terribly keen to open it!

    It's certainly a hardware related problem and I suggest you to exchange this drive since it s a very unusual problem cannot be solved by a software.

    I suggest you to send your machine to an ASP.
