Ive got windows 7 installed on my 60 GB SSD as well as Battle Field 3. Right now my 60 GB SSD is full (0.9) free GB because of all these updates from windows. Just installed a seperate 320gb hdd, is there any way to designate the updates to download and install on this drive? BF3 new map pack comes tomorrow/tonight and I dont want to be limited by running the map pack off of the hdd, if that is even possible.
View 5 RepliesIs there a way to designate what file types are able to be included in a folder? For example, I would like to create a folder that will ONLY accept Excel files.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am downloading audiobook files from England onto a single-user system running Windows 7, 64-bit system and using Internet Explorer 9. When I do a "Save Target As" function to download a file, the source file is often much larger in Mb than the way it is when it becomes saved onto my computer. For ex:, the source file might be 41mb and the way I get it is perhaps 1900kb. WHY are the source and target so different? Also, how do I get my files to show as Mb as the Target ones do instead of being in kb?

The imaging process is stopped with a message that I don't have enough spaces on the targeted disk while I got more than I need.

I have a notebook running Windows 7 Professional, and it's set to back up via network to an external drive which is connected to a desktop running Home Premium.
On the notebook, when I'm selecting the backup target, it lets me choose a specific folder on the external drive. However, when I'm backing up the desktop directly to the external drive, the only choice is the root of the external drive.
I'd like to specify a folder into which the desktop can back up instead. Can this be done, or am I going to have to pop for another Professional anytime upgrade?
I want to move the My Documents onto a separate partition, which appears very straightforward in 7.
However, the first time I called the partition (as that was all it was going to be used for) 'My Documents' and just wanted to move the sub folders there.
Unfortunately, having moved the first item 'Desktop', the partition itself became 'Desktop' and behaved like that folder. The only way I could get it back was by creating other users and deleting the initial profile.
Subsequenty, every time I try to move 'My Documents', the folder selected is renamed by Windows to whatever folder I'm moving and the path afterwards reflects that, irrespective of my instruction.
i.e. I want to move 'My Documents' so create a folder called 'Information' (either before or during the move dialogue makes no difference. I confirm the notification to move files and receive confirmation of success.
Bizarrely, the new folder, previously 'Information', is now called 'My Documents'.

With a user administratior account, when I open a properties window for the shortcut icon and and go to the Shortcut tab, in the Target box there is no path to the target file. The target is said to be simply, "Microsoft Office PowerPoint Viewer 2007 (English)". Ditto for all other shortcuts to Microsoft Office programs.
Shortcuts for other programs however (e.g. Calculator, Paint, OpenOffice, etc.) all display a pathname in the target box.

View 3 Replies View RelatedFor a while now I have been experiencing a strange problem. My laptop keeps changing the Windows Updates without my consent. I know this has been raised in the past but my problem is slightly different.I prefer to choose "Check for updates but let me choose whether to download or install them", however periodically the settings change without my consent to "Never check for updates".This is very frustrating as I am constantly having to keep an eye on this, and change the settings back to what they were in order to receive critical updates, or indeed any other update.The laptop was bought new just under 12 months ago and came with Windows 7 Home Premium 64Bit pre-installed.Has anyone else experienced this, or can anyone advise on a fix?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI bought a new Dell computer XPS 9100 10/2010. It has actually been sitting in its box unused up until today. I finally took it out of the box and set it up. I knew there would be a lot of updates and there is 92 to start with. It didn't give me the options to update a few at a time. So the question is...if I let the machine update all 92 will it be OK at the end or will Windows have a heart attack and crash?

I made a thread a few days ago about not being able to install a specific update. Now I've discovered I cannot install ANY updates. I've tried disableing my anti-virus, firewall, tried manually dling the update from M$, even tried installing the updates on a newly created admin account, and no luck. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this problem?

Shouldn't we at least get important or critical security updates even in the lastest builds? I could see why maybe not other less important updates but critical security ones?
And when I try to install it says it's not applicable to my system but updates like this one should clearly be applicable, no?
