Out of curiosity I checked the properties of my main folder under C:\Users and found that it contains about 55GB of data and 240,000 files. I back up most of my data files every day with Mozy, but I thought it might be good to have some sort of local backup in case of disaster. I'm not...

Hi, I have a Dell Inspiron 545 64-bit system. I have 6.00 GB of RAM. A couple days ago, my computer suddenly became unresponsive. I left it alone for awhile to see if it was just a lag, but it remained unresponsive for 4+ hours, so I performed a hard restart. I logged into my profile as normal...

For some reason I can't delete or move or rename a .mkv file. It says "The action cannot be completed because the file is open in another program Close the file and try again" I've tried rebooting in safe mode and still get the same message. I was wanting to move this file to another drive...

I have been trying (without success) to transfer my e-mail folder files from my old computer (Dell Inspiron 530 using Vista) to my new computer (Sony Vaio using Windows 8). The transfer is from Windows Mail to Windows Live Mail. The recommended method on the old machine using a flash drive is...

I have a 3 year old Alienware desktop running Win 7 Professional (see my profile for more computer specs). I have never had any major problem including running weekly backups to a second internal hard drive using Windows backup. About 3 weeks ago the backup failed and produced the mentioned...

Many may know this (cool) and I could have mentioned it earlier but, I oft take things for granted & then impulsively think maybe it's not occurring to everyone & I suddenly say something so... Let me paint a scenario to make the point here... Let's say you put Win8 on a shiny new SSD. And...

I have discovered a strange issue with my USB ports. My external hard drive was reporting that it encountered an error and needed to be checked. I allowed Windows 8 to automatically fix the error. The wizard got about 70% done and then reported that it had failed. I then entered the...

It seems the more I delete programs and files, my disc space is still being used up, it is almost 1/2. What would I have to do to reduce what maybe loading on the disc space ? teak
