Windows Vista MB in the process of disappearance

Hi, WINDOWS VISTA CONTINUES to TAKE MB

I have Windows Vista Home Premium, and every time and every day I check my disk space, and when I continued to watch I mentioned as MB (mega bytes) kept disappearing! Could someone please reply to this post and tell me how to fix and stop this.

Thank you
Jack Dury


Hello

1. What do you exactly mean by disappear?
2. When you check the disk space?

Check disk space in disk management.

To open disk management:
a. Click Start.
(b) in the search box, type diskmgmt.msc and press ENTER.

I also suggest you to run Disk Cleanup and then check if it makes a difference in the capacity of the disk.

Disk Cleanup removes temporary files, empty the Recycle Bin, and removes a variety of file system and other items that you no longer need.

Refer to this link for help:

    Hello

    You do not uninstall Vista as such.

    Vista cannot uninstall itself by Vista, formatting the drive that is installed on. In other words it cannot remove itself.

    You install another operating system, removal of Vista during the installation process of the other operating system...

    You don't say exactly what you are trying to do.

    You can format a disk if it a second drive with the Dual Boot operating systems and leaves without data or the operating system on it at all.

    Hello

    A manufacturer of recovery disc is designed for a particular brand and computer model; they are not interchangeable.

    Here is the link to order the Acer recovery disks:

    http://us-store.Acer.com/RCD/

    And if the Acer never included a drive to purchase, you should have a recovery Partition on your hard disk to reinstall Vista to how it was when new.

    With an Acer, you press Alt + F10 at startup to start the process of recovery back to new condition.

    ____________________________________________________

    Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista

    Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

    This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

  • Vista DEP ends the process of upgrade of Sony Picture Motion Browser (PMB)

    I have a problem with Windows Vista Home Premium.  I am trying to upgrade my version of Sony Picture Motion Browser (PMB) to version 5.2 running the updated DownloadManager_1005c.exe utility, which was downloaded from the Sony website.  When I run this program, Windows Vista puts an end to the process by closing IE.  I first added to the DEP exception list download manager, it did not work.  Then I ran "bcdedit.exe/set {current} nx AlwaysOff" from the prompt order and received confirmation "Operation completed successfully".  I rebooted the computer and the Sony service program is represented.  Yet once Vista has completed the process.

    How can I solve this problem and update my software of Sony?

    I try to download the upgrade on your desktop directly from the Sony site (or wherever you want come in) and work around by using the Download Manager entirely.  Once saved to your desktop, right-click on the download and click on run as administrator and see if it successfullly upgrades your Sony software.  I suspect the Download Manager is a tool that is useful but not required to download or upgrade.

    Because you have executed this command, DEP must disable so it should not be the cause of this problem (if it is in the first place).  Remember when all this is done to reactivate.

    If the above does not work, I recommend you contact Sony Technical Support at:http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/select-system.pl?DIRECTOR=CONTACT and see if they can provide assistance with this problem on their software - download manager, upgrade, or both.

    I hope this helps.

    Hello

    The best way is to clean install and start over.

    In addition, it is not legal to have both installed version that the license is for a single installation.

    If it is a dual boot with 32 bit and 64 bit installed on different partitions, there would not have been the conflicts you would have never started in one or the other.
