  1. Is it HDD or SSD? Did this start just suddenly? How about memory/RAM usage? Did WhatsRunning point something weird/huge usage of some software/service?

    Have you tried defragging the drive?

    It is HDD.Started about 2 weeks ago.Ram usage with FFabout 2 tabs open 50% from a total of 1 GB. Whats running did not point any anomaly I could notice.

  2. Yes I did, and it did not find errors. On top of that, the disk still runs like hell a few times a day with no process as culprit and no malware findings as per Avast`s scans.

    Unfortunately It looks like I`m going to have to reformat .....or worse if it is a hardware issue.

  3. Not really my area of expertise Eli but if I look at your minidump using Windows own debugger this is what I see below.

    Thank you Hazelnut, still haven`t got a clue as to what to do next, hope somebody here with some expertise on this issue will help me out.

  4. Use 'Blue screen viewer' to try and see what caused the crash

     

    http://www.nirsoft.n...creen_view.html

     

    (download at bottom of that page, be aware ccleaner cleans dump files so don't clean yet!)

    HI Hazelnut, I got the blue screen again the culprit as per the log is the Windows file:ntkrnlpa.exe.

    As you do not have the option to uplad this kind of file, you can download the dump file from here: http://www.2shared.c...i121111-01.html,

    I`ve also attached the properties report as per Blue screen view.

    Any assistance/suggestions will be appreciated.Thanks.

  5. HI, Eli. There is a pretty good system viewer app called "WhatsRunning", found at http://www.whatsrunning.net/

     

    I'm not too sure just what you mean by "Where does it write to the disk" but you could give it a try. It shows quite a bit of info about what your system is doing.

     

    It is harmless afaik. It uninstalls from the native windows uninstaller, but I'm not sure if it leaves junk behind or not, have no reason to believe it does. I cannot test that as I am running it now under powershadow so any changes will be gone anyway.

     

    edit: After uninstall Whatsrunning does leave behind some files and folders in C:\Program Files on this machine, and one or 2 registry entries, don't know if they would be gone after a normal restart or not. No harm done, though.

     

    If you are more comfortable waiting, maybe some other member will ring in with additional information about this app. I have used it some in the past, but just superficially.

     

    Post up whatever you work out. I think everybody here loves problem solving, sort of an addiction. :P

    Thank you for you reply login123, I`ve tried "WhatsRunning" and that one is definitely a keeper/stripper :lol: thank you!

    I meant by where does it write to the disk, for example if it writes to the page file and how much.

     

    BTW, What`s my computer doing, reports some false warnings one should be aware of, and recheck.

  6. What are all the languages in your post there for?

     

    Does it happen in safe mode?

     

    Does it happen if you use another user?

     

    Have you tried turning off everything in startup (including av) rebooting and seeing what happens then? (turn av back on after test of course)

    Hi Hazelnut

    While I was posting,the machine crashed on me and went through memory dump to physical disc that is why all the gibberish.

    I`ll try the three other options u have offered and revert.

    Thanks

  7. Hi

    My hard disk is incessantly working although I `m not giving it any task to go through, I have tried to find some unknown processes using the task bar with no success, the system was scanned thoroughly with Avast, with no findings, CPU usage=OK, any suggestions?

    Thanks

  8. Hi Eli.

     

    That's one of the programs I never remember to look for updates, probably because it works fine as it is, and definitely because it never crosses my mind.

     

    How did you update it? I've just downloaded version 2.27 from the "Download TeraCopy – Free for Home Users" link on this page, and it appears to have the same features as the free 2.12 version, just displayed as buttons instead of text.

     

    2011_11_25_220406.jpg

     

    I simply installed it as a portable version to look at, and haven't actually replaced 2.12 with it and used it properly, so I may have missed something. Are there are other differences?

    Hi Dennis

    I`ve downloaded the installer from their official site.

    The only difference is the degradation of functions regarding to preconfigured moving/copying files to .

    In the attached GIF you`ll see how it shows in the prior version, in the new version it shows something like: PRO VERSION ONLY

    and preset move/copy to is disabled in the free version.

  9. Hi

    I updated free Tera copy version from 2.12 to 2.27 and all copy/move favorites to, turned to be pro version and unabled for the free version! meaning that in the latest version, I`m unable to do what I was able to do in the prior one!

    Of course I down graded back to 2.12, did any of Teracopy users here encountered this?

  10. Hi

    I`m using Java oracle runtime environment for a long time and today after uninstalling the previous version, I could not install the new version[ tried several times]

    I`m getting this message from windows:

    Could not open this installation package. Make sure that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid WINDOWS INSTALLER

    Any help will be welcomed.

    Thanks

    Thanks for your reply SF, I finally installed by going to documents and settings , under user account, application data, found the SUN folder and activated the windows installer for this version, quite a work around but worked.

  12. If you use any PortableApps.com software allot of the settings or MRU, etc., are stored in .REG files, for instance I have it clean my copy of VLC Portable using a batch file to delete a .REG settings file and then copy over a clean .REG file with no MRU or anything in it.

    Thanks Andavari.

  13. What program are you're wanting to clean?

     

    If it stores settings in .INI files cleaning it probably wouldn't work, unless of course you had CCleaner delete the .INI files.

    You can clean using the feature in 'Options > Include' if you don't want to make a winapp2.ini cleaning routine.

    I want to clean Maxthon and G.chrome browsers, but as I move towards using more and more stand alone or portable programs it may be a good idea to use options+include, what kind of files type/options should I target? Thanks

  14. Thank you all for the advice, BTW, Maxthon browser is also a fast one, about 80MB HDD as a portable version, with a lot of built in options+additional engine for sites tailored for IE.

  15. Since you're wanting to exclude the main browsers let me see, perhaps try another Chromium based browser such as SRWare Iron, Chromium, or Comodo Dragon.

     

    Don't forget it's a good ideal to try Portable versions first to see what you like first before ever committing to a Setup version.

    Thank you for your reply Andavari, I`m trying now the Google chrome portable version, half the size of the installer vesion+

    I decide where to put it.... If this one is not going to work for me, then I`ll try the three you suggested, thanks again.

  16. That's extremely weird for an installation, however that's were it installs into, so no problems.

     

    Edit:

    If you don't want the weird install location you can always use the portable version, or find another Chrome clone to use instead.

    Thanks for your reply, meanwhile I uninstalled chrome because of some browser`s malfunction. Any recommendation for an efficient and light on the system browser, excluding opera, google chrome and FF?

  17. Hi

    I`ve installed Google chrome today and found out that it installs in the hiden Win aplications folder and not in the programs folder + it weights about 200 MB !!!!!

    Anyone encountered that ? or is it only me.....?

    Thanks

  18. Possibly not approved due to causing crashes which Firefox wouldn't normally have occur without that plugin/extension - just my guess.

    It also may imply that if they approve this add on, they also admit at the same time that they have a memory leakage problem that they themselves could not solve yet...
