  • which Windows programs can be removed safely if I can get more space on my hard drive?

    I have an Acer Netbook - installed Windows XP Home Edition, SP3, 98 GB RAM, 1.60 GHz. I continue to have problems with the lack of disk space. I already deleted all the photos, photos, etc. I bought an external hard drive with 1 Terrabyte to use (I hope) as an aid.  Everything is saved on the external hard drive, but I keep running out of space whenever I get an update of Windows. I finally disabled the automatic updates, or now, my pc would not work even once. I need to know exactly what programs can be deleted, or how I can make the hard drive external hard drive. I can't afford a new pc with more space.

    Certainly, these services can be disabled and/or deleted.  You really should update your Windows XP SP3 as nothing else is no longer supported by Microsoft.

  • What program can I create pdf files?

    What program can I create pdf files?

    There are all sorts of software that is able to generate PDFS. What software you choose depends on your needs. Acrobat can be used both to create and edit PDF files. It is capable of converting many types of files to PDF or any application can print to a virtual printer to PDF (Windows) to generate a PDF file. Acrobat on Mac has a similar capacity to generate PDF files.

    Adobe also has the CreatePDF service and many of its other applications such as InDesign and Photoshop can create PDF directly, possible of the newer versions of Microsoft Office applications and other office suites like OpenOffice.

  • my C drive is full, how do I know what programs can I remove?

    I know that you can remove some programs, but how do I know what ones I can remove without affecting my computer?

    I know that you can remove some programs, but how do I know what ones I can remove without affecting my computer?

    We cannot comment on what programs you need to remove. In addition, some programs running in the background and removing will raise questions.

    However, you can uninstall programs that have been installed by you. You can go to start-> programs and features-> press enter type. Search for programs that have been installed by you, select them and click on uninstall, individually.
    Once uninstalled, you can install another drive as the installation location.
    But, before you uninstall, go on-> do work right click on the C partition :\-> click Properties. In the Properties dialog box, click Disk Cleanup. In the Disk Cleanup dialog box, click clean up system files. And then click Ok. This will clean the junk files.

    Two points:
     
    1. you have no * need * everything. Those who you should have is those that are
    important to * you *.
     
    2. There is no such thing as too much. What is important (see below) is
    * who * who they are.
     
    Here is my standard message on this topic:
     
    First of all, note that you should be in * all * programs that
    starts automatically, not only those who enter in the system tray.
    Not all the programs auto-start manifesting by an icon in the
    Status bar.
     
    On each program, you don't want to automatically start, check its
    Options to see if he has the choice of not start (make sure you)
    Indeed choose not to run, not just a "don't show icon.
    Optional). Many can easily and better be arrested like that. If that is not
    work, run MSCONFIG from the start. Run the line, and then click the Startup tab.
    Uncheck the programs that you do not want to automatically start.
     
    However, if I were you, I wouldn't do it just for the application of
    the minimum number of running programs. Despite what many people say
    you, you should be concerned, not with the way * a lot * of these programs
    you run, but * that *. Some of them can degrade performance severely, but
    others have no effect on performance.
     
    Don't stop all programs to run willy-nilly. What you need to do
    is to determine what each program is, what its value is up to you which
    the performance cost is its running all the time. You can try
    Internet search and ask questions about the details here.
     
    Once you have this information, you can make a smart informed
    decision on what you want to keep and what you want to get rid of.

  • What program can translate words hovering over him?

    Translator programs

    Dad has Windows 7, during playback of some foreign sites online, I noticed that he has a translator on his computer - when you move the pointer over the word, the program translates the word - nobody knows what this program and if I can download it?  I have windows xp

    Your father may have a third-party plugin for Internet Explorer (IE) that does it; However, you probably don't need to rely on these third-party plugins.   I think that since version 8, IE includes a built in Accelerator for Microsoft Translator services:

    http://microsoftfeed.com/2010/Internet-Explorer-8-translation-using-accelerators/

    So if you are ready to install IE8 on your Windows XP box, you should be able to get a pretty convenient way to the translation of text from one language to the other web.  I believe you can get IE8 for XP here:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=43

    Note: I think that IE8 is the latest version of Internet Explorer which will build for Windows XP.

  • Cannot open e-mail messages. MSG, it's that there is no program associated with this file and define and association. Have no clue as to how or what program choose. Thank you jp__

    problem is email

    I assume you are talking about email attachments.  Each attachment has a three-character extension that associates the file with a program (in the start menu / default of programs / associate a file or Protocol with a program and then scroll through the list for the three-character extension).  Many are well known (.doc for Word Documents) and .pdf for Adobe Reader documents, but some are not so well known.  Some are also used by several different programs is sometimes important to know what program created the file in order to know what program to associate with her.  Your best bet since it is emails is to ask the sender to you say the name and version of the program so that you can install a program that can at least find out if is not working with the file if you do not recognize the extension.  Some attachments to e-mail are not intended to be read and there are programmatic reasons and must not be opened (but I can't give you a list of all of them - barely know they exist).

    Sometimes you can google the extension (for example, google .avi http://www.afterdawn.com/glossary/terms/avi.cfm) and a link arises which will tell you what programs can do the file type and which programs can read or work with the file type (or you may need to go to other links to get this reversal - in this case a lot of programs can open the file because it is a very common file for which many different programs have been developed - program that it becomes irrelelevant).  If it's a single program, so you know what you need.  If more than one program, you must the sender to tell what program you used to create the file unless the .avi file that can be read by the host (or you can guess or try different options until you find one that works but this can take a long time, can damage the open file with wrong program and can be expensive if you buy one of the programs that you are testing).

    In fact you do not define an association.  When you install the program, the extensions it can handle are identified by the Setup program and included in the listing file associations.  In fact, there is no way to add an extension to the registration of the association - you can change the programs that are used by the extensions in the list by default.  Some extensions are added automatically by Vista when installed and work a little differently than others (for example, .lnk or .exe), but we don't need to go into that, unless the extension you are having problems with is one of those (you don't mention the extension so I can't give you advice).

    I hope this helps.

    Windows Home vista 32 premium

    Hey Stella-50,

    How slow is slow? For example, my machine (e-machine E4264 2.2 ghz with 2 GB RAM) boots in 95 seconds. For me, I call it, in the average. I am currently in the process of looking for a new machine because it is already 3 years old, so maybe that OEN will be slightly faster to start.

    What you can 'turn off' will depend on which in fact initially launches upward and, unfortunately, you have not told us that at this moment. Is that you should not disable your anti software anti-virus (updater). nothing to do with your mouse and your keyboard etc.

    Perhaps, if you made a list of what application are actually being run at startup (via the msconfig Startup tab) can someone take a look at them and see if, or what can be disabled.

    Otherwise, you might take a glance at Startup Delayer http://www.r2.com.au/software.php?page=2&show=startdelay to see if you can delay the time different applications load to allow windows to start up more quickly. I haven't used so I can't say how good/bad it is.  It's a freeware.

    How can I find out what programs I should have started and what are the programs I can start myself to my computer to run correctly when starting?

    Hello

    I understand you want to learn about programs, you should start your Windows startup. I will certainly help you to question.

    When you start Windows by using a normal startup startup, several applications and services automatically, and then run in the background. These programs include the base system, antivirus software, utility applications processes system and other software that was previously installed. These applications and services may cause interference when you install or run a program.

    The system configuration is a tool that can help identify problems that might prevent Windows from starting correctly. You can start Windows with common services and startup programs turned off and then reactivate them, one at a time.

    I suggest you to refer to the links below and check if this is useful:

    Using the Configuration System (msconfig)

    Perform a clean boot to determine if background programs interfere with your game or program

    Hope this information helps.

    Please get back to us with an update on the issue, we will be happy to help you.

  • How can I find out what programs start or stop to start the computer?

    How can I find out what programs start or stop to start the computer? Now there's like 68 programs that start at startup of the computer, I know that this is the way to much, I just need if bought a laptop with windows7premium installed and the problem im having is that for a lot of programs running at startup the computer does runslow and being online is difficult. Can I just go back to the factory because im settings only to learn about computers. Any help would be late thanks all sorts niceome here

    Original title: need HELP

    Go in run and msconfig!

    Under the control of services tab hide all microsoft processes
    These are the programs that are running at startup you can go through the menu of your program and configure each individually to run at startup.
    If you decide it's not worth having to go to control panel and then programs and then decide to uninstall the program.
    If you decide to use your drive to factory restore do not forget to install the programs you need.

    You can use these to control which startup programs. Many others who settle start-up are not
