  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.
  3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
  4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
  5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

  -Click OK.
  -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).

• Why my windows freeze and go does not respond when I try to install the msn photo on hotmail download tool?

  Why my windows freeze and go does not respond when I try to install the msn photo on hotmail download tool?

  The active x bar descends into the small window and freezes all windows open right there and will not respond. This happens when I open a new message and try to attach photos.

  Things I tried but has not made a difference:

  reinstalled IE 8, deleted the history of the browser, disk Cleanup, removed msn photo upload control, optimized IE8

  With xp media center

  PS. This occurs also at any time the information down to install an active x on any site control

  The only way to surf now with frustration is to use IE 8 NOT add optional

  So I fixed that on my own and that's how I did it.

  You must uninstall IE 8 completely which will bring you to IE 7 (in my case) and then install IE 8 via the site updates or microsoft.

  Uninstallin IE 8 by going to:

  Start--->

  Control Panel--->

  Add Remove programs--->

  Scroll down to IE 8--->

  Click on delete.

  IE8 updates must be removed also, if not then click the box 'To see the updates' on the top of the window to scroll down, look for the IE 8 security updates and delete.

  Resart your computer and install IE 8.

  This worked for me and may or may not work for you.

• Windows freezes for 5 to 10 seconds every few minutes.

  After the upgrade to Win 8.1, I had some experiences with my computer freezing for 5 to 10 seconds every few minutes. Music continues to play, the cursor keeps blinking (although sometimes it freezes too) and the mouse can be moved, but try typing don't work and try to close, open, move or otherwise interact with the programs (applications office and modern) fails. Then, at the end of the gel in short, everything what has been done during freezing happens everything both. Restart breeze the trend until it starts again (sometimes hours later, other time days).

  It seems to be overheating problems and SFC came clean the problem only arose recently (well that before, it happened sometimes with IE only but who stopped). I'm not running 3rd party antivirus and Defender is coming clean, and so have free McAfee scan.

  My computer is a Dell XPS 1520 running Windows 8.1 update update 1.

  One last note, the problem seems to occur sometimes when I use Windows built-in backup of the file system. I can't actually think any time it all started when I was not hung on the backup media, even if it persists after the disconnection. I used three different types of backup media, so I don't know if one of the drives is the cause, but I will deal with that now.

  Then, you must choose the option to fix my computer to enter in the system recovery options menu.

  Here you can choose different repair options as repair the boot or system restore that allows you to stitch the beginning operating system before the update was installed.

• Why my 8 Windows freezes on the installation?

  I bought and downloaded from Microsoft a W8Pro. I downloaded it to my HP dv6-6170br and in the middle of the instalation it freezes. Press the power button to leave the frozen instalation.

  Any help?

  Hey FAILACE,
  
  Just to tell you that laptop is not yet supported for windows 8. So I have no doubt that this could be a reason, you experience this problem.
  
  Here's my recommendation:
  (1) create a Bootable installation media (whether on a USB flash drive or a blank DVD). - http://goo.gl/CWE2J
  
  (2) save all data - http://goo.gl/nnCc9
  
  (3) update the BIOS to the latest version
  
  4) boot from the created media and perform a "clean" installation choose "Custom Installation" and delete all partitions and then install Windows 8 on "unpartitioned space". This will get around all that prevents the upgrade completion. - http://goo.gl/Kztml
  
  And to notify you to ensure and to download all the Windows 8 drivers and software for this unit from the driver download page after upgrade complete which has nothing at all at the moment.
  
  Now, if you have Windows 7 is still intact you might stick with it until the phone is supported. Whatever it is, it is possible to find the majority of pilots elsewhere. It will take just more work to chase them. You may lose some minor features, however.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on
  Driver update (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right
  Click on - uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  I understand that you can not change the UAC settings on the computer and the system hangs. I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused to you. Rest assured that I will do my level best to help you.

  Did you of recent changes to the computer before the show?

  I suggest the following method and check if it helps to solve the problem.

  I suggest you try to activate UAC from the command line and check if it helps.

  (a) open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, right-click Guest, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.

  (b) run this command

  Reg.exe ADD HKLM/v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 1/f

• WITH video card driver, windows freezes after 10 seconds after the Welcome screen, WITHOUT a driver, it works fine

  Hi guys,.

  I recently had the problem that when I start my computer, it freezes after 10 seconds when I saw the Welcome screen.
  I'm in safe mode, it works perfectly fine. I have uninstall ALL my Nvidia drivers and then restart the computer in normal mode, and then everything works fine. I go to the Nvidia website again, download the latest drivers and the same freezing problem happens again. I also tried with older drivers provided by Nvidia, still the same problem.
  Completely, I formatted my HDD and reinstalled Windows 7. I install drivers Nvidia and the same problem again.
  I have a Nvidia Geforce 250GTS
  The processor is Intel Duo Core converted E6850 (boxed)
  4 GB of Ram DDR2 Ram
  East of card mother ASRock G31M-S

  Everyone knows that the problem is?
  Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad English, I tried my best :)

  Hello.

  The video card drivers enable the features of the card to use.  When in safe mode or with no driver installed only the basic functions of the card are used.  If the card is faulty, which is more likely, the defective part of the map has probably come into play with the full drivers installed.  This explains why it works with the Basic setting.

  See you soon.
