Computer Goes To Sleep When Downloading Large File
Apr 7, 2012
New xps 17' running 64 bit Windows 7. In firefox when I'm downloading a large file the computer goes to sleep even though the power settings are set not to. I didn't know if this is a Windows 7 problem or a firefox problem.
When i start downloading large data files with multiple connections (it does not matter which download manager i use - flash get, jdownloader, IDM) it starts to consume a lot of MB until it consumes all of it, but when i close the download manager only about 200 MB becomes free (before downloading started i had used only 900/2048 MB and after closing download manager, it is used ~1800 MB / 2048 MB and there is no program in task manager which would consume such a lot of memory and i can free the ram only by restarting computer. This happens to me on celan RC version and even on clean RTM version.
I have quite a fast conenction 50/50 Mbps so the RAM runs out quite fast (in 15 minutes i have no free ram).
This happens only in Windows 7 (in Vista, XP it downloads without any memory leak using the same download managers)
Does anyone have the same problem or know how to solve it?
When trying to run ipconfig using the cmd it returns nothing. Also, when downloading large files my internet will stop working and then start working after a while. OS is Windows 7 Ultimate x64?
So I found a post on this forum with a similar problem. I'm trying to move a file that is larger than 4GB in size from my main hard drive to an external, and getting the error message in the title. The consensus on the other post was that the hard drive must have been a FAT format, and that too fix the problem either split up the file or reformat the hard drive as NTFS.Well, by all accounts, my computer is telling me that my external hard drive is ALREADY formatted as NTFS, but I'm still getting this error. I would prefer not to split up the file, but other than that, what are my options?
Sometimes when I click start and sleep on my computer (windows 7) the monitor will go to sleep but the computer is still running. I cannot wake my monitor up so there is nothing I can do to wake it up besides manually turning it off using the button on the computer case.
When I try to add a 4.29 GB file to a disk image I'm creating it says "ERROR: Added file is too large." Registered Magic ISO is supposed to support up to 10 GBs. What's the deal?
Yes, I STILL need to burn to a regular CD as CDA is all that will play in my car. I have an audiobook in one large file & have tried breaking it down into several smaller files for burning. The first file burns just fine, but all subsequent files fail as it claims they're too long for the cd, even tho the size is a miniscule CDA. Older versions of windows used to prompt you for subsequent discs but I can't get any program (Roxio, Ashampoo, Cyberlink) to do so--they all return too large for disc.
I had to re-install Windows 7 on my computer as I had to replace the motherboard. I backed up my outlook.pst file (2.3 gb) to a DVD and after installing Office 2007, I copied the PST file to my desktop. Now when I try to import it or read it using Data Management, I get a message saying this is not a personal folder. I know there are tools out there that can manage larger pst files
A folder was installed on my C: drive at 4:13 am that I don't want and wish to delete. When I try to remove this a window comes up that tells me I do not have permission to do this transaction. I tried changing registry permissions with no success.
I downloaded a 4GB .mkv file of a concert I wanted to watch. But since this was on my netbook, I tried to transfer the file to a 16GB Kingston USB Drive which is empty as I have bought it new. However I get an error saying that the "file is too large for the destination file system" and thus, cannot move my file to the USB. What is going wrong here?Here's a picture of the popup that occurs.
My friend would like to send me a large file (about 6GBS) me and and her have no idea how to do it, since email only lets about 500mb. We tryed sending it through messanger but that failed.
I dont really want to use megaupload because i dont want to then download the file again. Does Skype have a sending limt?
I am running Office 2010 on Windows 7 64-bit. I just created my first PowerPoint presentation containing 30 slides, all containing images, with a total of 35 images overall. All of the images together add up to less than 6 MB. During the creation of the slides I was careful to follow the guidelines for Sizing Digital Images For Powerpoint. However, when I save the presentation to disk, it is over 55 MB! I have tried to Compress Pictures from the Format toolbar-- no effect. In fact, file size of the presentation was larger after this. If I go to File>Info>Optimize Media Compatibility, this option is GRAYED OUT and does not work! I want to be able to send this presentation as an email attachment, but 55MB is way too big!
Can't save large file to Windows & desktop. Keeps telling me I don't have room. Is there a setting in Windows 7 that restricts file size on the desktop?
I'm renaming some songs but when I do this I get this message:But my filename is not that long! Here is how long I can make it before my keyboard does not enter characters. They just don't show up when I type.
When I try to sync music from windows media player to my phone, I get an error message on some songs that says File header too large. What I can do to correct this so the songs will play. I download mp3s from napster & my phone is a Blackjack2.
I have moved to Windows 7 Ultimate x64 for almost half a year, recently my hard drive was getting full and I decided to move some of the data to usb external hard drives. Both the externals I have are IDE hard drives and both are NTFS. I always use Quicksfv to make a CRC check file before I transfer the file and then run the CRC check after its been copied over to the external drive. I have used these externals in the past with Windows XP and had no problems.
However, on Windows 7 when transferring large files (usually over 1GB in size), I get corruption in the files. The corruption occurs randomly, if I recopy the files again it might be corruption free. This only occurs when copying files from internal to external, if I copy files from the external to my internal there's no corruption at all. I have tried changing the usb cables, power cable of the externals, using different usb ports but none of it helped. I scanned both externals with chkdsk and I used memtest+ for over 24hours and all the tests passed fine.
Just installed Windows 7 64 Home Pro from XP two days ago. The last remaining issue I need to solve is a drag and drop file transfer to my other home network computer (HNC).o far I've been able to d&d files from the HNC via Acronis WD in it's explorer mode without any issues, some sized in the multi Gb range. I'When I try to d&d a large file, specifically my NVIDIA drivers sized at 123Mb the Windows 7 computer freezes immediately. The cursor is stuck and the computer is absolutely locked, the only thing that works to recover it is the power off button.When I come back I don't get any indication of anything going wrong and if I look on the HNC drive the file has been transferred successfully
I have a program I wrote in Visual Basic that copies a file from one directory into another directory at a prescribed interval. The Visual Basic programs uses the ShellFileCopy API function ShellFileCopy Visual Basic 6 API Function FreeVBCode code snippet: Copy Files Using the Shell API 99% of the time, the program works fine.However occasionally, I get a Windows error that pop's up that says "File is too large for the destination file system" This is extremely baffling as the size of the file that is being copied is under 1MB.

He has a Windows 7 64bit OS with 4GB of ram. He has been downloading a set of 8GB files and almost like clockwork, his entire system starts chugging at about 3GB. He is NOT using a bitttorent. He is using a download accelerator and he has tried a different accelerator to eliminate the possibility that it was the software. He does have comcast, but he says that in the past, he's never had issues with traffic shaping. Also, his SYSTEM is slowing down (anything else he does gets really choppy) not just the download, so we think that indicates it's not just the normal ISP stupidity, it's something wrong on his system side.

So... Does any 1 know how to revert this option? Cause I want the options to pop out again..
Whenever I press the sleep button on my computer, or when I leave it idle and it goes to sleep by itself, I get a blue screen of death. I would really like to solve thiNow, this computer came with an AMD video card, but I uninstalled those drivers and took out the video card and installed a GTX 570 from EVGA. The drivers are up to date, so I am pretty sure the new hardware is installed correctly. Furthermore, it was not doing this for the first few months of having the video card installed. This is very recent, so I don't understand what it could be
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium with IE 9. How do you get the File Download Bar or what ever they call it to be visable when you are downloading a file from a website. The bar I am talking about shows up at the bottom of the screen and it shows the name of the program file in bold letters and at the right end of the bar you have three options: "RUN" "SAVE" or ("save as)" "CANCEL" Or and "X" at the edge of the bar.
