What are the risks by removing the previous Windows installations when you perform disk cleanup?

What are the risks by removing the previous Windows installations when you perform disk cleanup? Will be some things about windows 7 stop working or be affected?

The Windows.old folder is your ticket to uninstall Windows 7 and roll back to Vista.

If you are happy with the results of leveling, can access all your data files, all that you have transferred to the E-mail, the .old folder can be deleted.

    What are the instructions for * installation * the Windows Service 'nativewifip '?
    Comments: The file "nwifi.sys" exists in the \windows\system32 directory, but the Windows Service does not exist and so must be "installed" (created). I understand that the command "sc" (service configuration) is probably the way to do it, but I do not know the correct settings for this particular Service. The nativewifip Windows Service is needed to support the Service of autoconfiguration WLAN according to the system of error events that occur when I try to start the autoconfiguration WLAN Service.

  • Cannot delete the folder windows.old with explore or disk cleanup

    Hello

    I'm trying to remove my windows.old folder in my system disk and I tried following http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/How-do-I-remove-the-Windows-old-folder but Disk Cleanup doesn't show "Previous Windows installations" as an option to remove.

    Explorer doesn't let me delete the files either. It keeps prompting by saying that I must have administrative permissions, even if I am logged in as a user who is a member of the Admin group! I tried to take possession of the file with no luck either.

    How can I remove this folder?

  • opening Windows Installer when you surf the web

    When I'm on the web, I get the Windows Installer opens and asks me to install Microsoft Office 2000 SR-1Professional. When I hit Cancel it opens up to 3 times more. When I install, it ask me for a disk and then moved. This is my desktop computer and there is no disc. How to stop trying to install it.  This is not the case in all open programs just for browsing the web. A specific site iswww.apple.com/trailers among others. It gives me an error 1706 when I click Cancel because I do not have a disk.

    Hello

    Try for MS Office repair option. Start-> settings-> Control Panel-> Add Remove Programs-> search for Microsoft Office 2000-> select Change-> Select reinstall. Once your installation is complete, start Excel and allow to set. Once this is done, the problem should be solved. Try and post back... You will need MS Office installation disc.

    Also check if you use Outlook and its configured correctly, can also try Internet explorer-> tools-> Internet sealing-> programs-> Email, new group and calendar... Try selecting different if you have not installed Outlook.

  • What are the Service AM or Service YOU used to?

    Can you please briefly explain their uses, or point me to the documentation just because I can't find it in Google. Thank you.

    Hello

    A service request module (SAM) is similar to a regular BC4J augmented AM but with annotations of service.
    A view of service object (SVO) is similar to a VO BC4J regular but augmented with annotations of service.
    A service data object (SDO) is a serializable value class that represents a row of data, which in turn represents a commercial entity, and which are exchanged in service requests and service responses.
    A service interface defines the public market of a request and contains definitions of the service-based methods.
    A service implementation implements the contract defined by the service interface and introduces life cycle business service object. She maintains a reference to SAM and can call SAM and SVO methods.
    The service layer exists outside the SAM layer. Referring to the SAM, she calls the AM.

  • What are the causes sometimes freeze when accessing the library of Firefox bookmarks?

    37.0.2 Firefox sometimes crashes on a Windows XP Professional when I try to access my extensive library of bookmarks. This is a new issue. I tried Firefox of refreshing, but that has not helped.

    Problem solved.

    Clicking on another bookmarks folder caused Firefox to freeze. However, I could expand this folder and move, consolidate or delete subfolders much. During this process, I discovered that a subfolder was a copy of the record all bookmarks. This may have generated a type of infinite loop resulting in freeze-up, or the contents of the offending file may have been excessive.

  • What does the green check mark when you change the info from an average of song?

    I imported an album in ITunes, I bought on Amazon and for some reason, adjust the volume slider is all the way up to + 100% on all of his songs. Whenever I try to change this back to normal, a little green check mark next to it. When I click on it, it is up to + 100%. When I ignore it and click on OK, he returned to high volume and won't let me change it. The green check mark means something? How should I do? I don't want to have my ears bleed whenever a song from the album appears when I shuffle. And I really like this album.

    The green check mark recognizes that there is a change of treatment. At this point, you must click OK if you want to accept changes or Cancel if you do not.

    In some cases, iTunes will not commit a change if the file is read-only or your account does not have sufficient permissions to make changes. See fix for iTunes for Windows security permissions , if necessary.

  • What are the "grant" for?

    Hi, experts,
    I am a newbie in oracle database.

    I'm studying the database using Oracle Database 10 g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 oracle
    I created 2 users, TESTING and used2
    I created a table SKU for TESTS (the owner of table THAT is EXPERIMENTING with SKU)
    I got GRANTS from SKU table.

    Please see this image: http://img694.imageshack.us/img694/3433/questionl.png

    I have a created a synonym of used2

    Then, I use sqldeveloper, log in as soqs2 and run this query.
    SELECT * FROM S_SKU;

    the results are returned.

    I found that the results can be returned regardless of the value of the GRANT GRANTABLE.

    What are the "grant" for?

    Thank you very much!

    This means that the beneficiary of the GRANT is authorized to GRANT the same privilege to others.

    What are the security risks by allowing a program to change the registry keys in Windows 7, without knowing what are the changes?

    Hello

    If you had made any changes in the registry without taking the backup copy of the registry, then there could be chances that your computer can find themselves in no situation to start and finally end up in the reinstallation of the operating system; This is why it is recommended to take a backup changed in the register of representation.

    Before editing a registry key or subkey, we recommend that you export, or make a backup copy of the key or the subkey. You can save the backup copy to a location that you specify, for example, a folder on your hard drive or a removable storage device. If you make changes that you want to cancel, you can import the backup copy.

    . Are what program you referring?

    Warning: Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.
