  • You have problems with programs

RE: Don't defrag not completed.

I'm assuming you did disk defrag MANUALLY. Yes?
It's a waste of time.

You can "plan" disk defrag to date and time. It will take place at the scheduled time, you set up. In this way, it will run without interrupting your normal computer and without your presence chores.

Here are the tutorials to schedule disk defragmentation. You can get what day of the week and what time.

There is an alternative for the Vista built-in defrag application disc.
I use a 3rd party diskdefrag called Auslogics.
It allow you to choose which disk drive to defragment.
It shows you the "play by play" of the porgress.
It gives you a report summary at the end.

  • What is chkdsk /f.? Small happen when I try to defragment, how can I get rid of this?

    When I'm trying to do a disk defragment, I get a message that /f chkdsc.  is planned.  I don't know what it is, how do I get rid of it or go around it, defragment my disk?   Thank you!

    When you try to defragment a volume and Disk Defragmenter reports:

    Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on the volume: (c :))
     
    Please run Chkdsk /f.

    This means that the volume that you want to defragment was marked 'dirty' XP.  This is not necessarily all of the data has been lost on the volume, it simply means that XP thinks that the volume should be checked to find errors because of something that happened before.

    You won't be able to defragment the volume until the dirty bit has been removed.

    This does not mean that a disk check is scheduled to run, and you can't cancel what needs to happen in this case because this isn't the problem.

    Also the dirty bit is not set on a volume, you can still run a disk defrag with a record of date of arrival in the meantime (try).

    Entry of commands to reset or erase a disc awaiting review is therefore a waste of time - that is not the problem.

    A volume can be marked as dirty, if the system underwent a power interruption (power failure, pulling plug, removing the battery, button / stop), abandoned restart or an abnormal termination.  One of these events?

    When XP starts, it automatically checks the bit of impurity on each volume.  You can also tell XP to ignore the bit of impurity on any volume, but this probably isn't a good idea in case there is a real problem that needs to be fixed.  If you have a hard drive where the dirty bit will not disappear, you can tell XP not to check.

    If the starting XP detects that the volume is dirty, it will be automatically run the check disk with error correction (chkdsk/r) and try to fix the problems detected.

    If the chkdsk command succeeds, it clears the dirty bit, and then you can defragment the volume.

    You can check the status of your bit of impurity from a command prompt window.

    To do this, click Start, run and enter in the box:

    cmd

    Click OK to open a command prompt window.

    For example, to query the bit of impurity on drive C, type:

    fsutil dirty query C:

    The sample output:
    Volume c is dirty
    Volume C: is dirty

    Is the volume of your sale or it is not dirty?

    You cannot use fsutil or chkntfs from a command prompt to delete the bit of impurity on a volume.

    The only thing that can clear the bit of impurity on a volume is chkdsk /r (or chkdsk/p).  You could tell XP not to check the bit of impurity on a volume where the dirty bit does not erase, but this probably isn't a good idea since there is some sort of problem on the volume.

    You will be not also solve this problem by editing your registry database (pay attention technical support engineers and moderators of Forum)-is not the problem.

    Once a volume is marked as dirty, the only way to clear the dirty bit is to run "chkdsk/r" or "chkdsk/p" when the volume is not in use.  The only way a volume can not be used while XP is just starting to load or from the XP Recovery Console.

    If XP will not run chkdsk correctly when your system restarts or the dirty bit will not erase as it should, you need to look in the Event Viewer log chkdsk and see what is happening and fix it.

    If XP will not always clear the dirty bit, you need to run chkdsk/r of the XP Recovery Console so you can look and see what works and run it again until it works.  If your hard drive fails, you may never be able to clear the dirty bit, in this case, you can also say XP never check the afflicted volume dirty bit.

    Saying XP not to check the bit of impurity on a volume would be risky behavior because there would always be some kind of problem with your hard drive.

    You can manually program the disk with error correction check to run at the next reboot of the system, but if the dirty bit has been set, XP should run check disk automatically with error correction during the next reboot.

    This is usually the case that after a reboot, the problems will be resolved since XP will automatically run check disk on the Sales volumes when it restarts.  If you do not check that the chkdsk results of newspapers after his execution on a restart, you will never know what problems are corrected or remain.

    When you choose to run the check disk with error correction in the Tools menu of disk properties, you will be prompted with a message similar to the following:

    The disk check cannot be performed because the disk check utility needs exclusive access to some Windows files on the disk.
    These files can be access only by restarting Windows.  You want to schedule the disk check to occur the next time that you restart Windows?

    Answer Yes, if you want to schedule the check disk on the next reboot of Windows.

    When you choose to run the check disk with error correction in the command prompt window, you will be prompted with a message similar to the following:

    The type of the file system is NTFS.
    Cannot lock the current drive.

    Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another
    process.  You want to schedule this volume to be
    check the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)

    Answer Yes, if you want to schedule the check disk on the next reboot of Windows.

    When XP restarts, let the disc over to check and correct the problems, he could find.  Do not interrupt the disk check.  It can take a long time (hours or days) to complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive light flashes, it's something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

    If there is a problem with the chkdsk command that works on reboot and it doesn't really seem to do something (too fast) or not to clear the dirty bit (check the dirty bit again), the command chkdsk which took to restart results in the Event Viewer Application log.  Look there to see what happened.

    When chkdsk runs automatically reboot, you may wonder where to find the results.  The results appear in the Event Viewer Application log.

    You will need to get there after the disk check performed and XP has finished loading for the results and all the problems.

    To view the logs in Event Viewer, click Start, settings, Control Panel, administrative tools, event viewer.

    A shortcut to the event viewer is to click on start, run and enter in the box:

    eventvwr.msc

    Click OK to launch the event viewer.

    Look in the Application log for a proposed Winlogon event, something like this successful race:

    Event type: Information
    Event source: Winlogon
    Event category: no
    Event ID: 1001
    Description:

    Checking file system on C:

    The type of the file system is NTFS.

    A disk check has been programmed.

    Windows will now check the disk.
    39070048 KB total disk space.
    25151976 KB in 78653 files.
    48256 KB in 10264 index.
    0 KB in bad sectors.
    237080 KB in use by the system.
    65536 KB occupied by the log file.
    13632736 KB available on disk.

    Windows has finished checking your disk.

    If you see errors - same errors that are corrected, you must run the disk checking with correction of error again (chkdsk/r) until you see no error.  You should have no errors.  Check again the dirty bit.

    If the chkdsk command that runs on every reboot XP does not clear the dirty bit, you must run chkdsk/r from the XP Recovery Console and see if that will clear things upward.  It is a good idea because you can watch chkdsk as it works and see the results on your screen instead of looking in the event viewer connects or wondering what happened (she also just 'feels' better when we see that it works).

    If you have no authentic XP bootable installation CD to boot into the XP Recovery Console, you can create a CD bootable XP (no XP media required) Recovery Console, and then run chkdsk /r manually.

    Need instructions on how to create a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console to run chkdsk/r manually?

  • my computer says printer ready, but when I try to print it does not say connectedit is a HP 3000 3 month old.

    I have a wireless printer. On the computer it says ready, but when I try to print it says not connected. Help

    Print a Network Setup page using the controls on the front panel of the printer.  See your manual for details.  Some newer HP printers have very summary User Guides (if you have the Deskjet 3000 J310, this means you) and it is difficult to see how - or if - you can print a Network Setup page.

    What you want to do is (a) determine the IP address that is currently configured in the printer and potentially re - configure an IP address of your choice.  You may need to search in the help for the printer on your computer system.  You may be able to access the printer setup utility using your Internet browser or you need maybe connect you the printer to the computer via USB and use the printer installation CD.

    Once you know what the IP address of the printer (and, preferably, how to change), then...

    On your computer.

    • Click Start > printers and faxes
    • Right click on your printer icon, and then select Properties
    • Click on the Ports tab
    • Taking care NOT to click in the list of ports (where you might accidentally change something), click Configure Port
    • Compare the IP address in the box "printer name or IP address.
    • If the IP in the box is not the same as the one you have determined for the printer, make sure.
    • OK your way out and you should be able to print.

    Now... If the above has solved your problem, you might want to know why and probably would like to know how to prevent it from happening again.  Him 'why' is normally your wireless router automatically sets the IP address of the printer.  If you turn the printer off, there is no guarantee that the router will assign the same IP address when you turn back on it, especially if the other devices were connected to your router in the meantime.  There are two methods to deal with this.

    One, you can check the checkbox in the tab "Configure Ports" which always says 'print to this device, even if its IP address changes.'  This is a feature that the HP printer drivers have, but in my experience, it is not reliable.  It works probably better if you change the contents of the box of the IP address of the printer "hostname."  This is something that you should be able to find in the printer setup utility accessed through your web browser.  It is NOT the name of 'Port' that appears on the "Port Configuration" tab in the area above the IP address.

    Two, you can change the way that the printer receives his usual default IP (automatic) address manual, otherwise known as a static IP address.  If you do this, you will need to choose an IP address that is in the same subnet as your router (this means that the first 3 of the 4 series of numbers of the IP address must be the same).  For example, if the IP address assigned to your printer is 192.168.1.105, then any IP address that you select for use as a static IP address for this printer must begin with 192.168.1.  The last part may be any number of through254 2, EXCEPT that it may not be a number this router can assign to something else.  You will find this bit of your router configuration utility.  Or, if your printer was awarded automatically an address with the last part as 100, 101, 102, 103, etc, you'll be pretty reliable if you choose a number far away, but still within the range (for example, 25, 50, 200).

    Just installed windows 7 but I can't read my product key?

    Help me please thx!

    Option 1:

    If the COA sticker is damaged, you must use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7, it will be exempt from the need to use the product key to activate your installation of Windows 7.

    Option 2:

    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling. This will exempt the need to also use the product key.

    Option 3:

    If neither options 1 or 2 is possible, then you will need to invest in a new license of full version of detail.

    This could be a problem with Internet streaming on BBC iplayer or BBC radio.

    I would like to gather some details related to the query:

    (1) is this problem specific to the reader of the BBC or BBC radio? Are you having the same problem watching videos online or listen to music online on the computer?

    (2) deal with the issue with a single channel on the radio?

    (3) how you try to use the iplayer? It uses the browser? If so, what is the Internet browser?

    If this problem is specific to the BBC radio or iplayer, you can post the query on the forum from the BBC to help:
