System Resore Java Error?
Jan 2, 2009This is a bit of a sprawling issue, so I hope I've hit the preferred forum.
For the last 2-3 weeks I have had problems getting Windows XP to recognise both my MP3 interface and that of my digital camera.
I could manually locate my digital camera, via My Computer - assigned as the F drive, but my MP3 was not recognised at all.
Using advice from a forum, it was suggested that a System Restore might be the first place to look.
I confess that I hadn't tried that because a previous attempt was rewarded with a message saying that Windows was not able to do that.
At that point I turned it off in disgust.
However, I guess that this action had purged the restore data held at that point, replenished the disk space available and got it working again, because it worked and both pieces of hardware were recognised again.
So far, so good.
Later that day I revisited the Secunia website for an on-line scan to check that all my major programs had been restored as current as possible with regard to security issues.
Despite having gone there with no problems over the last 6 weeks or so, the scan could not take place owing to the site's inability to load the required Java applet (the site told me this).
I imagined at that point that that this problem was down to my Java having been restored to an earlier version by System Restore and that some vital element to that had been junked by either Registry Mechanic or CCleaner during one of my registry clean-ups in between time.
No problem, I thought, just un-install it then re-install Java from the Sun website.
But no - Windows Installer came back with the message "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable".
I am aware that there are a couple of elements to Java, but have regretably not got round to getting properly informed about their function within the Windows (XP Home, Service Pack 3 in my case).
So far, I haven't missed whatever it does in its entire form, but I have noticed a few blank spaces in some websites and I cannot use UK websites to make purchases that require the "Verified by Visa" additional security layer.
Any assistance with restoring Java fuctions to the usual would be much appreciated. I have visited the Sun website and tried a couple of downloads, but both were met with the same response by Windows Installer.
I am also not really keen to go for a further System Restore as not only did my Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 complain bitterly with messages about corrupt files and vital security data being compromised, but I couldn't say at what restore point I would be resurrecting the problem at the root of it all.
Minimum System Requirements
Sep 15, 2005From other people's experiences (not what the package says), I was wondering what the minimum requirements for running Windows XP Home. I have a 900 MHz computer, 256mb ram, 80G hard drive currently running Windows ME.

Aug 1, 2008I'm stuck have a friends XP machine that is behaving oddly. When it boots, in normal or safe mode, I receive a dialog box once the user selection screen is displayed with the title "virtual memory minimum too low". Then an explanation that XP is going to re-adjust it. At this point everything is hung. At the time I got the machine, there indeed was only 200M left on the C drive, but even when I expanded the partition and gave it 25G free, I still get the message.To make matters worse, I can't seem to boot any CDs in the drive so I have to work on the drive on my machine.This also means I can't boot an XP disk to do a repair/re-install. Was it really low and now just can't get past the message even with the expanded drive?

Feb 16, 2009I am thinking about giving an old Fujitsu lifebook B110 a new lease of life, I have it since new and although it's old I am quite attached to it.It has a Pentium 233MMX processor, and 160MB ram.It currently runs Win98.The hardware meets the minimum specs for XP, but seriously, would it be usable? Or would it be like watching paint dry? The most it would do is a little light web browsing and maybe some email.Also, I wonder if XP home would be any less demanding than say, Pro?

Aug 12, 2002By default, Windows XP keeps a backup of system files in the System Volume Information folder. This can eat up valuable space on your hard drive. If you don't want Windows to back up your system files:1. Open the Control Panel2. Double-click on system3. Click the System Restore tab4. Check "Turn off System Restore on all drives"5. Hit Apply6. You may now delete the System Volume Information folder.Warning! If you turn this off you will not be able to use Windows System Restore to restore your system in case of failure.

Dec 28, 2005Defraging main HardDisk Drive in XP Home edition w/ diskeeper 8.x and everything went smoothly as always, but then I decided to uninstall some useless apps and then went back to re-defrag and the reserved system space disappeared. Diskeeper was moving my files into the area where the reserved system space used to be so I stopped it. I then ran system restore and brought my system back 2days and re-tried to defrag and the reserved system space is still missing. Is this even a big deal? The computer (Dell 4400 P3) seems to be working just fine. Thanks.

Jul 31, 2005I did a clean install of Windows 2000 Pro on my Toshiba Tecra 8100 laptop. My hard drive has a capacity of 11gb. After the clean install I only have 4.8gb left on the hard drive. I have followed reformatting instructions and installed again, but get the same result. It is taking forever to test different suggestions, since I have to keep reinstalling. File system is ntfs. A good portion of the gig being used is in Documents and Settings, but I thought that should get wiped out. I don't understand why I am still seeing folders for iPod, Lexar, etc. I have burned 16 hours on this.

View 2 Replies View RelatedSystem Restore Problem - Space On My Hardrive
Mar 26, 2005I just restored my xp computer to an earlier system restore point.After checking the properties of my c drive I found that the used space on my hardrive had increased by about 3/4 of a gigabyte. I couldn't understand why that was, so I used a program called dirgraph to analyze, and chart what amount of space the individual directories each use on my c drive, and then took a snapshot of the chart.
I then undid my restore, and instead of regaining the .75gb back, I lost another .75gb. So I used dirgraph again, compared snapshots, and found where the extra space is being taken from. Dirgraph shows a subdirectory of c called "System Volume Information". It has a subdirectory called "restore". In it was another subdirectory with a large 5gb file, and 2 smaller .75gb files, named rp1064, and rp1066. One of the .75gb files was not in the snapshot I took before I undid my restore. I know the system restore put them in(it added the 1st when I did the restore, and the 2nd when I undid the restore). But the thing is that my system restore is set to use 12% of my hardrive, or 4010mb(max allowed). And the file(csystem volume information
