What is ftconfig.ini in Windows 7 and what does

My motivations to ask are:

1. If it is a virus or malware, I want to remove it.

2. If it is not necessary, I want to free up space on my hard drive.

3. I have a keen interest in computer science so what does help me learn.

1. If it is a virus or malware, I want to remove it.

-> .ini cannot do viruses.

2. If it is not necessary, I want to free up space on my hard drive.

-> Do a few basic calculations!
-The file is probably less than 10 KB in size.

-Your drive is likely to be 500 GB in size or larger.

-You can get 50 million of your hard disk's .ini file.

Question: That would gain by disabling such a tiny proportion of your drive? Almost nothing!

3. I have a keen interest in computer science so what does help me learn.

-> Use notepad.exe to look inside the file. He will probably tell you that it is.

  • Why my windows freeze and go does not respond when I try to install the msn photo on hotmail download tool?

    Why my windows freeze and go does not respond when I try to install the msn photo on hotmail download tool?

    The active x bar descends into the small window and freezes all windows open right there and will not respond. This happens when I open a new message and try to attach photos.

    Things I tried but has not made a difference:

    reinstalled IE 8, deleted the history of the browser, disk Cleanup, removed msn photo upload control, optimized IE8

    With xp media center

    PS. This occurs also at any time the information down to install an active x on any site control

    The only way to surf now with frustration is to use IE 8 NOT add optional

    So I fixed that on my own and that's how I did it.

    You must uninstall IE 8 completely which will bring you to IE 7 (in my case) and then install IE 8 via the site updates or microsoft.

    Uninstallin IE 8 by going to:

    Start--->

    Control Panel--->

    Add Remove programs--->

    Scroll down to IE 8--->

    Click on delete.

    IE8 updates must be removed also, if not then click the box 'To see the updates' on the top of the window to scroll down, look for the IE 8 security updates and delete.

    Resart your computer and install IE 8.

    This worked for me and may or may not work for you.

  • Windows XP and Vista does support Multi processors

    Hello

    Could someone tell me if material motherboards today multiprocessor support Windows XP and the same for Windows Vista?  If yes would someone also indicate which version of Windows XP and Vista no it support and even for 32/64-bit options? I read that you need Windows Vista Ultimate Edition to run on the hardware of today? Is this correct?

    Thanks in advance

    Victor

    If the material is supported on a given operating system is determined by the manufacturer equipment.  If they support a given operating system, then you are good to go.  If they do not, things will be less a lot rougher.

    However, as a general rule, the professional level of the Windows operating systems support multiple processors if that is your only concern.  I hope you understand the difference between multiple processors and multiple cores.  :-)

    Answers to your, "you must have Windows Vista Ultimate Edition to run on the hardware of today?  Is this correct? "query is, 'no, No '.

    For Windows Vista (I want to jump, if I thought to upgrade):
    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_vista-hardware/multi-core-processor-and-multiprocessor-limit-for/d00780f8-76e8-4AF6-AA49-e64a7007c17f

    In regard to the 64-bit or 32 - bit - still once it comes down to the support of manufacturer of material for a given operating system * and * the said OS architecture.

    It of for homework, isn't it?

  • Windows Fax and Scan does not appear in the start menu

    : I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium and you want to (a) send faxes via a modem local fax and b scan docs from a local scanner. I mean, there should be a program Windows fax and scan shown in the start menu. I clicked all programs on the start menu, and it doesn't always show. Suggestions?

    From: Hal

    Fax and scan is available in Windows Vista Business and Ultimate editions, it is not available in any of the Windows Vista Home editions.  Since you have a version of Windows Vista Edition family, the only option of fax is a third-party product.  These products work under Windows Vista:

    Snappy Fax

    RKSFax

    I have seen reports that the free version of BVRP also works with Windows Vista:

    http://www.usr.com/BVRP/bvrp.asp

    BVRP PhoneTools

    Given the above comes with the new USR modem, I don't know if it will work with no - USR modems.  Alternatively, you can send faxes via your Internet connection provided you are willing to pay for an Internet E - Fax service:

  • Problem with Windows Fax and Scan does not connect to the Internal Modem

    Just got a new Acer Aspire 5542-5416 computer laptop with Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium, 4 GB of Ram and a 320 GB hard drive. It has a 56 k modem integrated fax of like the old days, but I can't make it work. The laptop did not come with the Windows CD.

    If I open the program Windows Fax and Scan, it is not able to connect to the modem. Basically, if I click on tools > fax accounts > Add..., I get a box with 2 choices: to connect to a fax modem or connect to a fax on my network server. When I want to connect a fax modem I get a message that says: an error has occurred. Please, try the operation again later or contact your administrator. It allows me to do this then just clock OK and them I'm right where I started.

    While in Windows Fax and Scan, if I click on tools > fax settings... nothing happens. No menu settings or anything ever appears. Quite simply, the program does nothing. If I try tools > Fax Status Monitor... I get a box that says entrance exam status, ready to receive a fax. It has a blue progress bar as something takes over, but it gets about 1/100 to and never goes further or ends. There is no box, but there are 3 buttons: view details, answer call or cancel. If I hit details, I get an empty list. If I click on answer call I get an error that says that the fax service is not available.

    If I try tools > Options, general tab has only a single option box is checked: play a sound when come it to new messages. If I try to print a Word or PDF file to a fax using Fax in the printer list, I get the same box with 2 choices: to connect to a fax modem or connect to a fax on my network server, but I get the same error message: an error has occurred. Please, try the operation again later or contact your administrator.

    I've searched the Internet high and low for a solution but no luck. There is a lot of discussion about this problem, but none of the solutions work for me. If I go to Device Manager, the modem is working properly and if I click on the Modem query on the Diagnostics tab, it seems to be able to communicate with the modem very well. I tried to roll back the driver and updated again and still no luck, same problem. If I go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Fax\Accounts in the registry, there is no subkeys under the folder accounts I can delete.

    Has anyone else had a similar problem? Is there any solution for this? I did a Windows Update last night and has not yet solve it. Thank you.

    Sorry about that.

  • Windows Backup and Restore does not save F: and Q:?

    Windows backup and restore settings show that it is possible to backup C: and D:, but shows no F: and q.

    You save hidden records, for example HP-Tools or any disk recovery.

    Using windows backup, there are two types of backup

    (1) data up - obviously only backup data

    (2) image, which creates a complete picture of the system, to the date the image was created. You can then restore the image if necessary

    Second

    HP would be provided either a defined recovery disk, or more generally presented guidelines on how to create the recovery disks. It is a HP process, not a victory for MS a.

    Recovery discs using HP allows you to fix either the sys or a destructive restore to factory supplied State.

    If you restore to factory of the reader state Q is created when initialize you Office Starter

    BTW save you or Image to the external media, if the drive breaks down (this isn't a head crash) everything on that drive is lost, to the end user.

    2. you receive messages or error codes when you try to open the attachments?

    3. what email you transfer to?

    4. were you able to open the attachments before without any problem?

    Step 1:

    You can temporarily disable third-party security software and firewalls installed on the system and check if the problem persists.

    Note: Be sure to enable the security software on the computer after checking.

    Step 2:

    Alternatively, you can try to run a SFC scan and check.

    This problem may occur if a system file is missing or damaged.
