so it seems maybe this just isn't compatible ... idk went to broadcam website tried to download from there, but got an error saying my device was supportedd did buy an inexpensive vista compatible adapter on ebay - it seems to work ok, but I don't like it. guess I am taking recommendations for a good one if I can't get this worked out Davey - you are so awesome - I appreciate all your help!

dang! software installs now, but can't install the device as the driver is unsigned ... ? have been searching online for possible fix - but so far haven't found anything that helps ...

Davey! ok - trying that now! re-named and extracted! woo-hoo! lol going to install now. should be ok from here, but I'll let you know. Thanks so much! You're awesome!

I recently got a new computer (HP Pavilion) running Vista. Attempted to install Motorola PC850 pc bluetooth adapter I used on previous computer which ran XP. Well after a few attempts I gave up as software wouldn't install. A while later I checked Motorola website and found the software is not compatible with Vista, but they have a link to download updated software for Vista. http://www.motorola.com/consumer/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=38b5f7c0c1a0b010VgnVCM1000008206b00aRCRD&ps=y&pg=PG_TYP_00003&show=globalSupport&productID=c6c01f79696c9010VgnVCM1000008206b00aRCRD instructions for download: In order to use Motorola Phone Tools with a PC850 Bluetooth Adapter, we must upgrade your PC850 software to the latest version. This upgrade is only authorized for use with a purchased PC850 Motorola Bluetooth USB PC Adapter (130 Mb). 1) To download your new version of the PC850 software click here and then save to your PC. 2) On your PC, unzip the contents of the file to your choosen location 3) Browse to the location where you unzipped your file and double click the "Install.zip" file 4) On running the file the attached screen will come up. 4) If you already have PC850 software installed you will need to uninstall before progressing. To do this click on the "Un-install PC850 Adapter Software" button. 5) Once the un-install process has completed, click on the "Install PC850 Adapter Software" button. well, I can't get past step 1, as when I am asked where to save file to it shows file type as 1201_WITH_INSTALL_MENU File (.1201_with_Install_Menu) and I am not able to change it. So, I am not able to "un-zip" or open file at all. I thought perhaps someone here may have experience with this product, or have more knowledge in this area than I (not hard to do lol) Sorry if I was long-winded but wanted to include any info that may be pertinent. Thanks all!

why yes I can lol. yes I am not a techie. Normally I am pretty good at figuring things out on my own, but have hit a wall here. I have been dogged by this issue for quite a while now and keep thinking I have resolved the issue only to have it re=surface before too long. hmmm ... I still can't see what's in the "recycler" file ... *sigh* no, haven't had any other problems going on. I appreciate all your help

ok - thanks for all the info - have done what I can. surprisingly I left my computer at 64M of space - came back later and there was 135 ... ? have managed to clean up a little more - got to over 400M but that will prolly go fast the way things are going for me.

gah! some of the links go to topics that are gone - tells you how to find hidden files, but not how to delete them. instructions for showing hidden files in "windows explorer" don't work for me ... and a lot of stuff in general is over my head or something ... I'm ready to give up ... I do appreciate all the help tho

thanks for this link - will look and try ...

found some info regarding the norton recycle but seems it is hidden ... found the command prompt to enter and I get a list of a bunch of files but I don't know how to delete them

searched for patch only found how to turn off warning I also searched for disk space loss, seems I'm not the only one ...

no bootvis. I do have norton - don't know if I have the protected recycle bin. ?

am now down to just over 64MB gah! lol - 8 weeks ago was 10G

mostly browse internet - visit some forums I belong to - watch video, email. ... moved pix, vids, and music to e drive previously have gone thru programs installed and deleted what I could, gone thru all files on c drive and moved or deleted what I could. all this before I found CCleaner and cleared up that 10Gs of space. I know what you mean about clearing a lot the first time being normal - I just didn't figure that 10G would disappear so fast (it took me 7 years to fill the hard drive to begin with, and that with regular use of the cleaner it wouldn't as I am not downloading or saving anything new to computer, except like I said Fire Fox and google earth. have since removed google earth . so I realize this may not be a CCleaner problem ? I just don't know what the heck it is and I am hoping somebody here does and can help me ...

moved and deleted all files and programs that i could! I understand what you are saying but it took me 7 years to accumulate that 10G of junk, don't know how I could have done it again in 2 months. I have far fewer files and programs etc on the hard drive than I did at same time last year when I wasn't having any problems lol. No file sharing. moved itunes, pix everything I could to e-drive earlier this year - before I found CCleaner. I went thru everything on c drive before I found CCleaner and like I said, removed everything I could *sigh* i realize this may not be a problem with CCleaner, I just don't know whats going on.

Help! I am using an HP Pavillion note book - about 37G hard drive. It is about 8 years old. for several months late last year and early this year was having hard drive full problems - kept running the disk clean up, deleting and moving to an e drive whatever I could, but continued to have this problem. Finally I discovered CCleaner about 2 months ago. down loaded and ran it. Cleaned up 10Gs ! of space!!!! Sweet! thought I had resolved the problem. since then I had downloaded Fire Fox, and Google earth. and re-installed google tool-bar which I had accidently deleted previously. Now, probably not more than 2 months later I am again having hard drive full issues! I keep running CCleaner and the installed disk clean up more than once a day! Even if I have managed to accumulate 10Gs of junk in 2 months, which I find difficult to believe, why am I not able to clean it? every time I run the cleaners it is only cleaning a very small amount of stuff off. I have only saved files only to e drive, and have moved google earth to e drive now. I am hoping this is something easy to resolve that I just don't know about ... I have read other posts on the site, none seem to pertain. I have checked settings for temp. internet files and set them pretty low For the record I have windows xp, use IE6 and fire fox. I sure hope someone can help me! This is making me crazy!!!
