This is a very specific problem — you have run out of space, so you delete 10GB, 20GB, 100GB, yet the hard drive keeps filling up.

I first used RidNacs (a hard drive space utility) to help me see what directories are taking up all the space on the hard drive. Once you get that installed, choose the drive in question (usually C). In the case of the computer I was working on, it showed 185GB worth of data accounted for, but Windows reported that 270GB of 280GB were used. He then moved 45GB of data off to an external drive and within a few days he only had 25GB available. I noticed upon running RidNacs again that it listed some directories with “Access is denied” next to them. One was “System Volume Information” and one “Documents and Settings” Visit This Link. I struggled with getting ownership of them with the Security tab in Windows, so I found these instructions to do it with a Command Prompt. This stuff is probably going to be for professionals.

a)Go to > Start > All Programs > Accessories.

b)Right-click on Command Prompt, and then click Run as Administrator.

c)To take ownership of a folder, type the following command and press ENTER:

takeown /f <foldername in QUOTATION MARKS if spaces> /r /d y

d)Then to assign the Administrators group Full Control Permissions for the folder, use this syntax:

icacls <foldername in QUOTATION MARKS if spaces> /grant administrators:F /T

The /T parameter is added so that the operation is carried out through all the sub-directories and files within that folder.

Here is something that claims to be a simpler way to do this that I didn’t test yet.

Now at this point, I found that System Volume Information had 116GB and Documents and Settings 127GB.

I wanted to see if I could get Windows to reduce that or keep it from growing, so I went to System in the Control Panel, then System Protection and found that the Automatic restore points configuration is disabled by Group Policy. To overcome that, I used these instructions. (I deleted the DisableConfig key, even though it was zero.) Then I went back to the System Protection tab and unchecked the C drive. It warned that it would delete the Restore points (great!). Indeed it did. I then turned it back on and clicked Create to make a fresh restore point. I then checked the hard drive. 140GB FREE!!

I believe that this damage was done by malware and I wasn’t successfully about to fix all the Access is Denied directories, but I think the hard drive filling issue is now fixed.

Please comment below if this helps or you have things to add.

I have a client that brought their HP Pavilion dv7 in because they couldn’t get it to view any available wireless networks (the wifi seems to be off). I tried for a while, but couldn’t get the wireless light (on the F12 key) to turn blue (it was orange). Here is what I figured out:Гиппопотам

Click on the triangle in the system tray (near the clock), right-click on the HP Connection Manager icon (if you hover it will tell you wifi and LAN status), make sure it is not in Airplane mode and choose to turn the Wi-fi On.

After I turned it on, I wasn’t able to get it back to the strange disabled state, so please share any more insights below.

Bsecure has somehow fixed the problem of the high CPU usage caused by their LSP that helped them do their internet filtering caused by Apple’s iTunes and associated software. Here are instructions courtesy of Brian Asher:

A client of mine has a Canon imageCLASS D1120 copier that would jam each time they tried to copy or print any double sided. I looked and looked for a jam, but couldn’t find any. It would print the one side and suck it back in and jam. I took a flashlight in the back and finally figured out what was happening — there was paper inside that was causing the jam.как сделать хороший проект здания.

Remove the paper tray and look for this green lever (as is shown in the diagram #1 in the picture below). Pull it down and remove the jam!
