Yes, it's that dreaded error message...and I am receiving it anytime I try to install any program/game. It's getting beyond ridiculous and I cannot find the exact problem. Before it told me I had to upgrade C# and C+, so I did, and nothing happened. I still got the message even afterwards. I...

I recently updated to windows 7 pro from vista home premium. My laptop has two hard drives, C (w/ 30 gb and D (w/ 180 gb). Vista came on my C drive but I installed 7 on my D drive because it had more space. Now though my C drive still contains the Windows folder from Vista and it's taking up 20...
I installed Windows 7 Pro using an update package from Windows Vista Home.
My issue is this. If I right click my C: (Primary Partition) it says I have over 70 gigs of space used. If I go into the root of C: and "Select All" with Hidden and System files showing, I am just over 40 Gigs. Which is...

Pretty much overnight, the amount of free space in my local disk (C:) drive went from almost empty to almost full. I have a feeling I have a virus, though virus scan does not reveal anything out of the ordinary. Any suggestions?
OK so I had windows vista and i had a corrupt file. I installed the vista service pack 2, and this screwed everything up so that I could not boot up vista anymore. My school sells window 7 for $50 so i thought it would be a good time to do the upgrade.
I put the disc in booted up and am now...
Hello all,
I just upgraded to W7 tonight and I have a question (surprise...).
I backed up all my files onto my other hard drives, and made a little list of all the programs i might need to istall because I wanted to to a clean install. To be honest, I don't remember which way I upgraded it...
After a failed "Endless Reboot" upgrade of Vista Home Premium 32 to 7 Home Premium 32 I finally did a custom (clean) install and got it running. In addition to the Windows.old folder I also have a folder called "$WINDOWS.~Q" I know this is leftover garbage from the failed upgrade, (should have...

Sooo I've never seen this problem and I don't really know where to start with it.
I have two hard drives, Windows on the C and media on S, I decided to clear some space on S, as it was 4/5 full, and deleted a folder that was about 80 gigabytes.
The weird thing is it went to the recycle bin...

I have 2 sets of these from repeated failed Windows 7 installs now and while it says I should go ahead and delete them, I cannot get them to go away for the life of me! I have tried doing the disk cleanup, but I don't have the option to clean up the previous Windows installation files.

This is very aggrivating. especially since i usually run disk clean up almost everyday. when i run disk clean up it allows me to choose which partition i would like to clean up. i select the appropriate disk(c) and about half a minute later it shows the small box showing that its calculating...
