• Running out of disk space HARD - Question on the Windows folder size

  Hello! I am troubleshooting my HARD drive space. I have a 'C' HDD 16 GB with nearly 0 MB space left (fluctuates probably due to created restore points).

  In any case, I discovered that my Windows folder contains about 7.7 GB of files. (I have Win XP Home Ed, 2002, SP3 installed - with MANY updates that have been installed over the years) 7.7 GB seems a lot.  Random check on the web (not sure how reliable replica is) I see less than 2 GB is what should be there.

  I don't think that there are many 'other' stuff in there, certainly nothing that I placed there. is there a way to check / clean this folder?

  Please do not suggest to re - install Windows as the solution, since at that time, I will buy another computer first.  then put in shape this one. It is clocked at 2.66 GHz Intel Pentium, so not ready to junk food she still.

  Thanks for your suggestions. Best regards, Frank V

  Your list of the most fragmented files that partially reveals the magnitude of your problem. Note that the list does not display very large files that have less than 797 fragments. There are also many small and medium-sizes of the files fragmented with less than 797 fragments. A notable omission in your list, this is the System Volume Information folder. I can't believe that it is not fragmented, she must be on this part of the list is not displayed.

  To defragment by using with Windows XP Disk Defragmenter, you need a bit less 15%. Defraggler is my favorite Defragmenter, but I doubt that it will succeed on your C partition. With Defraggler you can defragment single files, except some files, including those related to safety programs. You must try to reach 20% of free disk space.

  Your swap file is severely fragmented and illustrated perfectly why the possibility of using the "let Windows manage" is not the best solution if you want the better system performance. Minimum setting fixed maximum = pagefile avoids what you see on your system. Unfortunately with a populated partition, it is very difficult if not impossible to resolve completely without having to reinstall the operating system. However, trying to mitigate the impact of what you see, it's something to watch much later in the restoration, the functioning of your computer.

  My previous to Outlook Express references were specifically directed against this program. Outlook is a totally different program and solutions for Outlook Express do not apply to Outlook.

  You cannot compact Outlook pst files and archives, except those who created versions of Outlook prior to Outlook 2003. You can empty deleted item folder and you must first check that it is empty. I would then back up your Outlook Archives on an external drive or flash before attempting to move the locations of archive. Once you have moved the archive folders successfully I would then move messages from your current folders to the archive folders. If you archive the current materials first of all you have more to lose if the process of change the default location of the folder goes awry. Then, you can archive your current messages and change the default location of the current file. You can move messages current return from archives as a last step if you feel the need to do so.

  I copied a few instructions from an external source on how to change the default locations. I hope you find these useful.

  To change the location of database of Microsoft Outlook, the OUTLOOK file. PST is to be moved. In Windows XP, you can find this file in the folder C:\Documents and Settings\loginname\Local Settings\Application application\Microsoft\Outlook\ and in Windows Vista, you can find it in the C:\Users\loginname\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\ folder. After Outlook is closed, the OUTLOOK folder. PST can be moved easily using Windows Explorer by cutting (CTRL-X) and paste (CTRL-V) in the personal folder on the partition data (for example D:\loginname\Outlook). Now, the file is deleted from the original location, Outlook will present an error message because the database can not found. Accept the error message, navigate to the new location of the OUTLOOK. PST file and restart Outlook.

  ATTENTION: If automatic archiving is enabled, the ARCHIVE file. PST must be moved as well! This file can be moved to the same location as OUTLOOK. PST, following the same procedure.

• Error code (0 x 40000015) at the location 0x0000ec96 when installing Vista Ultimate 64

  I've just set up a computer and I am trying to install Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit. As soon as I put in the product key I get setep.exe Application error "the exception unknown software exception (0 x 40000015) occurred in the application at location 0x0000ec96." What can I do?

  Hi MEMason,

  1. what type of installation? Is - this facility upgrade or custom (clean) installation?
  2. do you have an extra adapter connected to the computer?
  3. What is the size of the RAM (Random Access Memory) installed on the computer?
  4. do you have 32-bit processor or 64-bit?

  We recommend that you first perform an installation without a key and check if the problem persists. This means, proceed with the installation without inserting the key during installation.

  If the problem persists, we recommend that you simplify the material, for example, if you have an additional video and RAM card, then disconnect / remove the system and run the install to see if the problem persists.

• I bought Vista Ultimate professional to upgrade the installed Vista. The 'Upgrade' feature is disabled in my professional (full) Vista Ultimate package. Why?

  I have a laptop double boot configured with Vista Home Premium and Windows 7 Professional.

  I bought Vista Ultimate professional to upgrade the installed Vista. The 'Upgrade' feature is disabled in my professional (full) Vista Ultimate package. Why?

  Update requires the same Service Pack level.  For example, if your current Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 or SP2 installed, you will need to uninstall the Service Pack to be able to use the Windows Vista Ultimate Edition disc, you have that has no Service Pack integrated.

• Windows Vista folder size is 32 GB. How adjust us that to the 15 GB required for Vista installation?

  I have windows vista ultimate 64-bit installed on a 50 GB partition.  The windows folder contains 34.8 GB, about 18 GB is exhausted by the winsxs folder.  I read a lot of the other threads on this topic, but have not yet find a sensible answer.  Buy a bigger hard drive is not an option, not because of costs but because of the weather, the amount of time I have to reload all the software and settings is unacceptable, especially if I have now every two months.  So is there a solution to this problem or not?  Windows 7 suffers the same?  I have to downgrade to XP?  Can I use the same number to install the 64-bit version of XP?

  Hi Luisbon,

  Thank you for visiting Forums answers to Microsoft Windows.

  Given that the installation of the operating system files are present in the Windows folder, it will occupy certain amount of space. The WinSxS folder contains the copy of the file system and other components. If you install many applications for Vista, WinSXS folder may be great because it will require to store multiple copies of the dll to enable multiple applications to run in windows without compatibility issues. If you browse inside, you can look at a lot of duplicate dll, each with the same name. These are actually different versions of the same files that are stored; different programs may require different versions. In short, Winsxs, acronym for "Windows Side By Side," is native assembly cache of Vista.

  However, I have some steps that will help you increase your computer's hard disk space.

  Method 1

  Delete all temporary files from your computer. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. click on the start search box.

  2. type %temp%, and then press ENTER.

  3. delete all files in the temp folder.

  Note: Leave the files that refuse to remove.

  Method 2

  Remove all the temporary files that may exist on CD and DVD burning.

  To do this, follow these steps:

  Delete all files in the folder in folder location to burn C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Burn\Temporary burn and delete all the files.

  Method 3

  Run clean disc of the location (Start) > all programs > Accessories > system tools.

  Method 4

  If you do not use Hibernation you can save space in the space of hard drive as the amount of RAM installed by turning it off. In the run window, type powercfg.exe off h (spaces note both) and press ENTER. To re-enable type powercfg.exe h and press ENTER.

  Hi Raygun55,

  I suggest that you copy the file manually by following the steps and check if you are able to play the game without any problems:

  Manually copy the file

  To do this on a computer that is running Windows Vista, follow these steps:

  1 insert the disc 1 CD for one of the following games into the player from the computer:

  o Age of Empires III

  o Fable: The Lost Chapters

  o Zoo Tycoon 2

  o Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends

  2. click on start to reduce this includes this image and then click Documents.

  3. Locate, and then click computer.

  4. search and then click on the CD drive.

  5. Locate and then click the following folder:

  CD player :\ DirectX9

  Note In this folder path, the CD player represents the drive letter of the CD drive.

  6 double-click on Apr2005_d3dx9_25_x86.cab, right click on d3dx9_25.dlland then click copy.

  In Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends, double click Aug2005_d3dx9_27_x64.cab right-click d3dx9_27.dlland then click copy.

  Note Use the Apr2005_d3dx9_25_x64.cab file for the x 64 version of the Windows operating system.

  7. find one or more of the following folders, depending on the games that are installed on the computer:

  By car : \Program Files\Microsoft: Age of Empires III

  By car : \Program Files\Microsoft Games\Fable - The Lost Chapters

  By car : \Program Files\Microsoft Games\Zoo Tycoon 2

  By car : \Program Files\Microsoft Games\Rise of legends

  Note In these folder paths, drive represents the letter of the drive where the game is installed.

  8. right click on the folder of the game which is the part that is installed on the computer, and then click Paste.

  Note If you have installed more than one game on the computer, repeat steps 5 and 6 for the other games.

  You can check the link for more information: error message when you try to start a Microsoft game: "the file d3dx9_XX. DLL was not found": http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910813

  Alternatively, you can try to install the game in XP compatibility mode and check if you are able to play or not.

  Right-click on the game > click Properties > click on the Compatibility tab > select for XP compatibility mode > click OK.

  Let me know if it worked.
