Why Im I lost my memory so fast?

I have a laptop Compaq Presario with hard disk of 250 GB and 4 GB of DDR2 memory.
It came with 60 days norton security
and it is windows vista.

Why the memory goes down so fast? now it's 155 GB and I only had it for a month and I have not much in maybe like 400 songs, but it's like 3 GB of memory. I downloaded programs but I uninstall, and it does not give me back the lost GB. Why does go down so fast and I can fix it?

Not an expert, but one of the explanations that I can get are that the space is lost to the system restore. It is a part of Windows and is generally active its self when you satrt the computer. It can chew at 15% according to the help file of windows to a HARD drive space that takes into account a lot on your drive. do not forget that the 250 GB drive is generally divided into two parts. We're your C: partition and the other is a partitio D: (usually this is the recovery partition) to turn off the system restore and get back space you can do the following:

  1. go to the control panel.
  2. Double-click on the system icon
  3. In the left pane, click System Protection. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
  4. To disable the Protection system for a hard disk, clear the check box next to the disk, and then click OK

  • Why my video clips will run too fast when played on the monitor Panel?

    I posted my problem earlier today, but in re-reading it maybe I didn't explain well enough.

    My main question is: "why my video clips will run too fast when played on the monitor Panel.  It comes from occurring after I selected my media in the Panel tasks and placed in the correct order in the Timeline/timeline.  I knew something was wrong when I saw that the clips did not indicate their right length when it is displayed in the timeline (scope).  They have been compressed in only a few seconds, then the clips should have at least 5 minutes.  I ran the clips in the monitor and of course they ran too fast, with a lot of jerking movements.

    3 video clips, I'm doing a PAL HD video taken with my Nokia N8 mobile video camera. Here in mp4 format. This may be a problem?  Note that when I play these individual HD clips on my computer (Windows Media Player) they work perfectly.

    After that I put the clips in my project Panel (or before in the work space organize), I have perforned no modification or manipulation of clips.  They are in their original state.

    Simply too check that the clips do not appear to be compressed, I burned a DVD, the resulting video ran in a few seconds.

    Help would be greatly appreciated.

    What is your project Preset?

    If you right click on the items in the project Panel, then choose Properties, which is displayed for the FPS?

    It could be that the FPS flag is not picked up by the GER, and if this is the case, you should be able to fix this by choosing to interpret the film and by changing the FPS to 25.

    Hope that helps and good luck,

  • Upgrade a Dell Inspiron 531 to something with more memory and faster?

    Hello, I have a Dell Inspiron 531, 32-bit operating system, and the 3G memory in it but is Vista. I tried to upgrade to Windows 7, but after many attempts, could not go without having to clear everything and start over. So I'd do it if I have to do I was wondering if I could make the machine that is more memory better and faster, without having to buy a new computer say a Dell XPS 8300 (that I'll have to run a lot of photographic software in the future and I understand that this could be a good computer for that?) In any case, it is possible to 'upgrade' the computer something like this please, or I have to save my pennies for a new? Thank in advance for your advice.)

    Hello

    If you upgraded to 4GBs off RAM you won't get many benefits

    Here is an article on what is happening with 4GBs of RAM:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929605

    "If a computer has many features implemented, the available memory can be reduced to 3 GB or less." However, the maximum memory available in 32-bit versions of Windows Vista is typically 3.12 GB. »

    and you should also consult the Dell manual for your model desktop computer see what amount of RAM your motherboard would answer anyway

    http://support.Dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/my_systems_info/manuals?c=us&l=en&s=Gen& ~ CK = anavml

    and here is the reason why you can not upgrade to Windows 7

    There are no Windows 7 drivers written for her by Dell

  • Why firefox uses so much memory?

    For several months, Firefox has eaten memory like crazy. Once I get more than 5 tabs open or that you have Firefox running for more than an hour, the memory usage hit about a GB. If I continue to let go beyond that, it will hit 1.5 to 2 GB and it made my gel set office. I got to keep the Task Manager and every hour or so just kill Firefox and restart. Preventing it from crashing my whole desktop computer. It's definitely worse when I opened Google products, especially maps and Docs. GMail is generally OK.

    I tried to disable literally every add-on and Extension (including Flash and Adblock).

    I'm on Windows 7, I have 4 GB of RAM installed. I am on version 40.0 Firefox, but this has happened through a few updates now (I think the problem started around March or April). I also tried to back - rev Firefox and go to the latest version, that I had before the problems started, but that did nothing either.

    Chrome works fine on this machine without any similar problems - but I prefer Firefox!

  • Why can I not spend memory (1805-s253)?

    Hello

    I am the owner of a Satellite 1805-s253 and I tried to upgrade its memory for 2 months without success. The laptop does not work or just sounds twice. I tried RAM from several suppliers who claim it is compatible, but it has never been the case. I tried upgrading the BIOS to a newer version (v 2.20) like some of the retailers of memory suggesed too, but that did nothing. I just spent over $ 300 on that and I still don't have a faster system. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Hello Dolly,

    as a first step, I have a problem because your Satellite 1805 - s253 is an American model and I don't have any expierence with American models! So I could tell you only what I know the European satellite 1800 series that are interrelated.

    The Sat 1800 series could handle 512 MB of RAM as 2 units. Toshiba supports only their own option parts, then it might be possible that the third 3rd RAM modules are not detected!

    Ultimately I suggest you go to http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/home.to
    -Partners Service and call one of them or you call the Toshiba hotline we part number good option!

    Sorry!

    Bye Daniel

  • Why have I lost all CD imported from my iTunes library

    I lost all my imported CDs and all the selections of my iTunes library painstakingly compiled over the years of effort. More than 110 GB of music disappeared from one day to the next day when I upgraded the software at the end of 2015. How can I get these without restarting the whole process again? The only thing left in my library is the purchased Playlist. Can someone help, please? Thank you.

    On some occasions, your iTunes library database may be affected by an iTunes update - nobody seems to know exactly why, although its been suggested that it would be the result of a conflict between the installation of iTunes and some anti-virus software program or other processes that monitor changes to files on your computer (for example the Windows Indexing service').  The content of your library, i.e. the media files and folders should be affected, but without a database iTunes file doesn't have information or links to these files.

    To restore your library to a working state (which may not be necessarily as it was immediately before installing the update) see user turingtest2 on the empty/corrupted after upgrade/crash iTunes library.  For later use, you must create and maintain a backup of your library iTunes, and always update your backup before installing the iTunes update.  For a suitable and recommended method, see backup your iTunes for Windows with SyncToy library .

  • Why the BB mail service is so fast?

    Hello!

    I configured the Gmail account in my BB. I can see, the BB email works even faster than the Web Gmail. I send you a message and the unit is receiving in a moment. Looks like there is a message of in-house CELLULAR (GSM) which controls the BB device to receive the email.

    Why should I go? -Is it possible to use the same functionality in my application?

    My APP is waiting for data from a server, but you need to ask a server each time: "you have new data?, do you have new data?..." ». Short refresh time is something negative to a battery. Increase the refresh time is something negative to a user.

    If this feature will be available for a java application, I would send a service message to a server and a device to receive new data immediately. In this case there is no refresh time (good for a battery) and a user does not wait for new data for a long time.

    There is a similar service to guests.  It is called push.  Search the forum for various entries on push or look here:

  • Smartphones blackBerry lost ALL memory

    Basically, I woke up this morning and there was a white screen with small text in the middle. I removed the battery and put it again and all my memory was gone. Texts, contacts, photos, pins, information about the application and all that. It was as if I just bought the phone.

    I connected my phone to my computer to save and it did not work. So I wonder what has gone wrong and if I can fix it.

    Looks like that the phone memory has been shattered. It is difficult to say what might have caused it and why it happened, but if the data went, he has unfortunately disappeared. That said, if you have a previous backup, you can restore these data and get at least some of your data, or if you have used a service such as BlackBerry Protect, you who can restore much of your data.

    Unfortunately, if you do not have a previous backup, and if you did not have BlackBerry Protect installed, there may not be much you can do except from scratch.

    I hope this info helps.

  • Why have I lost all my work?

    I'm relatively new to Illustrator. Last night, I lost about 8 hours worth of work I put in a project of Illustrator, and I have no idea why. I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on the situation.


    At one point yesterday morning, I recorded my project in PDF format so that I could share it with someone. I continued to work on the file and kept saving my Illustrator project that I worked. At the end of the day, I closed my project. When I tried to reopen this morning, all my changes disappeared. Even more strange, the only version of the Illustrator file I have is a version even older than what I had saved in PDF format. And still more strangely, I got a PDF of my final working copy, but no version of Illustrator of it. Note that I have never created a PDF version of the book that I did at the end of the day. So technically the PDF file I have on my system should have only one I sent earlier in the day.

    What possibly could happen here? I'm a little upset that I lost 8 working hours. But more important, I want to know what I did so that I wouldn't do it again.

    Thanks for your help!

    GS,

    For safety, you always save a copy in PDF of Ouedraogo and stay at Illy, or save normally before save you to PDF and then close the document in order to avoid this trap.

    You saved the file PDF without having checked preserve Illustrator editing functions, which means that the document is only saved in the possibly simplified PDF version.

    Save as PDF with preserve Illustrator editing capabilities ticked, or save as to create a PDF Compatible is TICKING, you actually save two files complete, an AI and a single PDF.

    You can recreate the document HAVE entirely or partially of the PDF, according to the work, by opening it to Illy and maybe redo parts. Some aspects of the work are the same, some are simplified in the PDF file.

  • Why I get this error memory?

    I have an old imac of five year with all running the latest version of Yosemite and the Suite of Microsoft Office 2011 it's updates.  I am running eight concerts in two slots four memory (i.e. use eight out of a possible 16 concerts.)  I occasionally mistakes but only when using Microsoft applications like Word and PowerPoint that will delete graphics and the message says: "unable to display this image.  Your computer doesn't have enough memory. "- What is the solution to get more memory four gig two chips/cards for dwellings empty remaining or would be - this something else?

    RAM can and doesn't fail. Have you installed the RAM yourself or was the original as RAM having been shipped from Apple. iMacs are sensitive using quality RAM, so if you have used a brand of 'value', then you can see one of the problems with that.

    What I recommend to download and run an EtreCheck report (www.EtreCheck.com) and display the results in your reply to this message. The report will indicate the obvious problems and then we can give you some advice.

  • Why did I lost all of my boxes in Yahoo mail?

    Hello, recently my Yahoo Mail went bonkers and I lost all of my boxes. You know the ones that I would use to check what emails I would delete etc, etc. It looks good on my other computers and on this computer through Google chrome.

    Have you noticed any other oddities on Yahoo mail, such as cans of high with two rows of two characters? This can occur when the site requires a downloadable font for its icons and you block that by using these settings:

    (1) in the dialog box fonts Advanced, unchecking the checkbox which allows the site to use its own choice of fonts. To check that:

    "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > content > button "Advanced".

    Here you must "allow pages to choose their own fonts.

    (2) on the deactivation of fonts downloaded in: config. It's less likely, or you remember probably not, but here's how to check on it.

    • In a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.
    • In the search box at the top of the list, type or paste the gfx and make a pause so that the list is filtered
    • If gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled preference is bold and user, set false, double-click it to return it true.

    This seems useful.
