• Should I delete "by user pending windows error reporting" in disk cleanup?

  Hi, I'm using Vista Home Premium and this is my question.

  'by user windows error reporting pending"on my performances of more than 16.5 GB so disk cleanup I think delete. I checked the forums window says it's a bug and will mess up my data if I did. But the answers were pretty old (2007-beginning of 2009). My laptop is just upgraded to service pack 2. So I don't know whether or not this so-called bug has already been fixed. Should I delete it or just leave it there? Will it continue to grow if I don't do anything? I read some messages and some said that it has increased to more than 100 GB.

  Thank you.

• Disk Cleanup stalling on temporary files for more than 3 hours and eat memory!

  So, whenever I checked my C drive I get different numbers on how much space is left. I deleted 45 GB (sent to remove trash and Perm.) data I didn't need and I always as much as before, if not less. I then tried to run the disk cleanup for that drive and it keeps blocking on "files temporary scanning", which since more than 3 h and no other programs other than windows base and Trend Micro are running and system keeps using more memory. EX: below

  RAM used: 3.1GB/4.0GB

  cache in the processor (i5): 4.2mb/7.7mb

  CPU usage has been the use of 80-90% during this period

  Frequency Max CPU is 109%

  This all started a few days after a windows update.

  It is using 25% CPU usage... as to what it is I don't have any idea. I've used it before and it scanned in less than 45 min.

  Anyone have any suggestions to correct the program that is not responding?

• Wonder about disk cleanup. I would like to know what I'm deleting

  Does disk cleanup scared me... Let's face it, I need a pc for Dummies book to explain.   If I clean the tiles do they disappear from the folers I in or do they just disappear somewhere in windows

  also when I did the scan I get the list of what needs to be cleaned and how much space will be cleaned up but when I click to see the files it said file is empty... very confusing...

• Files dump debugging and log files to install in the disk cleanup window

  The two points above appear in my disk cleanup window, and I wonder if it is o: k to remove. The first occupies a space of 283 KB and the other 2537 KB. The description of these two files in the disk cleanup window is "files created by Windows.

  I have a second question: I have about 5 GB left as free space on my hard drive of 'C '. If this is considered sufficient, or should I get more? I am a senior retired and only use the computer for basic items.

  I have a computer Dell Dimension 4100 with Service Pack 3 for Windows XP - Home Edition Operating System - desktop, 111 Pentium with 930 MHZ, 20 GB hard drive and 512 MB RAM. The file system is FAT 32.

  Thank you very much for your cooperation and your response.

  "Debug dump files" are copies of the contents of your computer's memory.

  When a program crashes, it will sometimes "dump" all or part of the
  contents of the RAM to a file on your hard drive. The file is useful to
  a technical support person who tries to understand why the program
  crashed. (Most of the tech support people have no idea what to do with a dump
  file.)

  Unless you have been asked to submit a dump for inspection file, feel free
  to get rid of them.

  Setup logs files are "log" installation of a program. If you
  Watch a (they are really just text files - open with Notepad) you will have
  see that they give a blow by blow description of how the program has been
  installed, glorious detail.

  If a program does not properly settled, the Setup log will tell you what that
  was wrong. If you have not had a facility wrong, do not hesitate to ditch
  These files as well.

  On the question of how much free space on the disk is enough... There is no
  standards. 15% of your drive must be empty in order for Windows
  The Defragmenter built into the work. In addition, it is to you.
   
  Your processor is another story. It's not easy to find effective security
  software that will work on a P3. Even if you only use the computer
  for the basic elements, an internet connection is pretty basic for a online
  criminal to find you.

• Under XP, while doing a disk cleanup, get a message "files required for windows runs properly have been replaced by unrecognized versions.

  While doing a disk cleanup, I received a message "files which are required for windows to run properly have been replaced by unrecognized versions.» To maintain system stability, Windows must restore the original versions of these files. Insert your CD-ROM in Windows XP Home Edition now. "and I did not... I can restore it online?

  * original title - windows file protection *.

  Maybe someday the dialog box 'ask a question' forums XP will ask these questions automatically when a new thread is started so I don't have to ask every time.  It might even be possible to solve a problem in a single response when enough information is provided.

  Please provide additional information on your system:

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  If you have a genuine XP installation CD bootable which corresponds to your currently installed Service Pack, you won't get away with instructions to run sfc/scannow.

  Windows file protection wants to replace a file of the backup copy he keeps in the dllcache folder and WFP found that the backup copy of the file on your system is not look right, so he complains (there is a list of 3498 files PAM knows).

  When you see the original message, if you click Cancel, then choose 'keep' the file afflicted, you will see a warning message, and then a message like this in the case where the system log viewer:

  Event type: Information
  Event source: Windows File Protection
  Event category: no
  Event ID: 64005
  Description:
  The protected system file taskmgr.exe had not been restored in its original, valid version because the Windows File Protection restoration process was cancelled by user interaction, user name is Jose.  The file version of the bad file is unknown.

  As you can see, the file that WFP is concerned is clearly stated in the paper, so now you know what is the file.

  For the above example, I used my (taskmgr.exe) Task Manager file to reproduce the problem.  You need to see what your event viewer message says.

  When you know what the file is, you can decide what to do about it.  There are probably other copies of the files on your system, or you can get the files from another source.

  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.

  Check your event observer system log and look for a proposed Windows file protection event.

  If you double-click on an event, it will open a window of properties with more information.  On the right are black up and down arrow keys to scroll through the open events. The third button that looks like two overlapping pages is used to copy the details of the event in your Windows Clipboard.

  When you find an interesting event that occurred at the time of your question, click on the third button at the top and arrows to copy the details and then you can paste the details (right click, paste or CTRL-V) the text in detail here for analysis.  Remove personal information from your information
  After having stuck if you are forced to do so.

  Do, or do not. There is no test.
