Why my OS took so much space and how can I turn off automatic Back-ups?

Hi, I'm opperating on Windows Vista Basic Home Edition on top of a HP540 Tower, which has 160 GB hard drive.

Except for the 20 GB Partition, I stayed with 129 GB to install a fresh on o/s.

After installing my o/s and updates the 7Gig to clean Documents saved from after installation.

I was left with 99 Go!

Something wrong without a doubt!

Even more, I'm losing memory on my hard drive like there is no tomorrow, 30 GB in 4 days!

It seems every time I'm streaming videos, or even just to watch videos, an external hard drive.

I lose about 1 or 2 GB!

Using a number of antivirus programs, I scanned for a virus, but all programs concluded that the

the system is clean and that there is no virus!

This led me to believe that the system backup and restore several coppies of his car, then

I have used the disk clean up to remove all but the most recent backup file.

All of a sudden my disk space is increased from 69BG to 99 GB.

I still don't know what happened to the other Go 20 or 21.

Although this seems to be a difficulty, with in a few minutes that the backup has been busy writing far still and in

15 minutes that I had fallen to 97.3 GB and deminuishing.

Why my OS took so much space and how can I turn off automatic Back-ups?

Thank you very much!

Nothing wrong as far as I can see.  A Windows installation will take about 20 GB to 30 GB so it's fine, and you will lose even more space for virtual memory to system management file, hibernation, system restore points file and so on.  Although the "30 GB in four days" is perhaps a little on the high side, considering that you have just installed Windows, there are a lot of household, creating files and so forth go on these days.

With the help of disk cleanup to delete these files from system restore is a bad choice, because they are created to ensure the security of your system and allow you to recover from any problems that may require them.

If disk space is as big a problem to get a bigger hard drive and let the system restore to do its job.

    How can I turn off text to speech that I turned it on to listen to the voice and now there seems to be no way to turn it off

    Hello

    Follow the steps below to disable text to speech in Windows Vista.

    (a) go to the section on your main screen where you see the time displayed.

    (b) it is called the "bar", all kinds of small icons are visible here, there's even a gadget of the small arrow that would normally point to the right if you have a lot of programmes to help you use windows.

    (c) "left click on"the small arrow in a circle - this will expand the list to display small icons, drip slowly mouse over the bar of 'system' in order to launch a pop - up of each icon, once you reach the icon that says something like "text to speech tool","make a clique right".

    (d) a pop-up list appears showing what options are available - option whatever go to "Properties" or "settings", "click on" this element gives.

    (e) a new Panel will appear - in select here the article that says something like "launch on startup", it should have a box next to it, that will be ticked or marked in some way - "click" this element so that it seems to be clear and followed by the button "apply" "click" the button "OK" - which should solve your problem.

    you have to start the application of office cc, at most, once every 30 days.  and if you have an annual subscription, simply start it once all the 91 days.

    so, in your cc preferences, uncheck "Start on login" and close it.

  • How and when the computer turns off automatically?

    This is great... .buth how and when the computer turns off?  When I reopen it wifi comes back, I'm correct when she stops she also turns off wifi?

    Hello allan299,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    According to your post, I see that you have any questions on how and when your computer shuts down, and how the WiFi on your Mac is affected. I know it's nice to be able to properly manage what happens when your computer stops and starts in mode 'sleep'. I'm happy to help you find the best resolution.

    You're right, when your computer stops completely it will turn the Wi - Fi. If you enable the wake for network access, Wi - Fi remains lit, and you can access shared resources on your computer, such as printers or iTunes shared playlists even when your computer is in "sleep". Definition of a calendar closing and start on your Mac can also be useful.

    Check out the following resources that will help the set options that control the energy use of your computer, sleep, and wake-up times for your Mac and the calendar from your Mac to turn on or turn off or go to sleep:

    OS X Yosemite: energy saver Preferences

  • Elements 8: why my files open at 72 dpi and how can I change it?

    My files all open them at 72 dpi, which causes important problems of resizing. How can I change this?

    It shouldn't cause any problems at all. When you take a picture, your camera doesn't know anything ppi; It includes only the dimensions of the pixels. PPI is unimportant, until you are ready to print. When you want to the top of the ppi, just go toImage > resize > Image size and change what you want to with resampling turned off.

    Some manufacturers to put a frame of reference for the ppi in the exif data for the image - canon uses for example, 180 for some of their devices, but if there is nothing that PSE can understand, use 72 dpi by default. It is not really important. What is important is that you have enough pixels in the photo. Do not turn the resampling and you will keep the same number of pixels when you up the resolution, so you will get a good impression.

  • Why is it so hard to find an answer in the help of Firefox (704 returns does NOT help me answer my simple question ONE, which was: How can I turn off the feature that keeps blocking each download I try to?)?

    FF10. Whenever I try to download a file, it blocks the transaction with a Ribbon of Windows Internet Explorer style in the upper part of the window. It's very annoying. How do I turn it off? I can't browse 700 + feedback on the help search.

    I can't now to reproduce the problem. It seems to have disappeared on its own. She gave me a small strip in the upper part of the window below the menu bar of Firefox. I think the banner said "Firefox has blocked a website tries to download a file on your computer" and there is a button on the right marked "allow." I thought that there was a framework for that somewhere and the other to block redirects and now I can't find neither. I got v.9.0 and he auto-mis to day to 10.
