delete windows old
I read in a post that I could delete the windows old file is that true or does it affect something else? The reason I ask is I deleted it then defragged and everything changed on my computer. My sidebar was gone, all my Icons moved to the right hand side of the screen, my verizon EVDO card stopped working and when I attached a second monitor if I opened a file I would get half on my laptop and half on the second screen. I tried safe mode and then system restore but always the same thing. I would really like to remove the file to free up space so that I can partition my drive and install a second instance of RC1 for testing hardware. I did a clean install and now everythings working again. I might mention that I used AusLogics Disk Defrag which seemd to work well up to this point. -- danbrown ------------------------------------------------------------------------ danbrown's Profile: http://vista64.net/forums/member.php?userid=5 View this thread: http://vista64.net/forums/showthread.php?t=17486
