[USB Cable Not Recognised?]

Was the cable custom made?

 

Nope.

 

I looked at one of these 5m Activ Extension which apperently can boost your usb signal to more than 5m but do they really work?

[USB Cable Not Recognised?]

Hello,

 

I got a 10 metre USB 2.0 cable for my printer and i hae connected it to my computer running Windows XP. It says that the USB is an unknown device. I think i might need some sort of driver but that seems odd for a simple USB cable.

 

Info for USB Cable:

USB 2.0

10 Metres

Thanks for any help,

[FAT32 or NTFS?]

NTFS is better and this has been discussed here before.

The "hibernation file" is only on the hard drive if you enable Hibernation in Power Settings:

The "metadata" files are not visible because they are part of the files Properties:

[FAT32 or NTFS?]

Hey!

 

Ive been wondering. Which format of hard disk is best? FAT32 or NTFS?

If you have no idea what im talking about then go to your computer, then click on one of your hard disks, and at the bottom of windows explorer, it will say which one you have.

 

Well, here is all I know about these types of formats so far:

 

FAT32:

Pro:Supported by more computers

Con:It can only have files in sizes of 4GB chunks

 

NTFS:

Pro:Files can be any size

Con:Not supported by as many comptuers

 

It seems that NTFS is better but im not sure. The support thing only probably matters on removable hard disks.

I have expeienced a really big problem with a FAT32 disk. I had one in a Hard Drive Camcorder, and i tried to do a long film, but then later, after i had finished the file was in 3 parts which was quite annoying as there was a 30 second gap between each, AND im not allowed to re-format it.

 

Thanks,

 

 

 

Oh yeah, im running Windows Vista Home Premium 32 Bit

[Disk partitions]

Partitons are perfect for putting big files on, as usually your C:\ drive often has about 15GB of space used up for your OS. Usually most computers come with them.

[Not Defraging Properly!]

How can you tell? Defraggler doesn't mark unmovable files as such. The hibernation file, metadata, system files are just shown as "normal" files and are simply left out of defragmentation.

I also would appreciate to have them marked as "unmovable".

 

 

I have checked the fragmented file list and i didnt see the "hibernation file" or any "metadata", but thanks for trying.

For me, i would just upgrade your memory. Easy option and you dont need to download any software. Worked for me!

[What about RegCure?]

I had Regcure on my old PC. My IE7 was not starting up and neither was my outlook, so i found Regcure. I got it online at a reasonable price and it fixed the problems, but i reckon that CCleaner's registry cleaner is a lot better and value for money.

[how fast my computer can be!]

I may be new to the forums, and CCleaner as I have only had it for about 2 months now, but i know 1 thing. The registy fixer on it is also very useful at speeding up your computer, although its not as thorough as other leading registry fixers, it does a great job! Also for some extra speed, try disabling some startup programmes using the program located in the "tools" section of CCleaner. And finally, uninstall some stuff! i had loads of junk like old games and pre-installed trials of software.They improve performace at a large scale.In the "tools" part of CCleaner there is an uninstall wizard there.

[Not Defraging Properly!]

Hey Everyone!

 

So, I just got defraggler about a week ago and worked perfectly on my external (F:\) and partitoned drive (D:\) but when I used it on my main drive with vista on (C:\) it only defragged some of the files and left some major ones fragmented! I checked the ledgend and saw those files were not unmovable so i tried again, yet it said "no files were defragmented."

 

Does anyone know why this 9.2GB of files wont defrag?

 

Thanks
