  1. old.windows is using 25gb of my storage which I badly need. Is it safe to compress?


    Will this affect any other files on my laptop? Are there any repercussions?

    Would I just be able to de-compress the folder whenever I need to restore to an old version of windows completely fine?

    I doubt I'll ever really need it, but ya know, just in case.

    SkyDrive Space Problem (Getting 8GB of 25GB on Samsung Omnia W)

    Hi Snehasish Das,

    Thank you for posting at the community.



    If you have an old account and was a skydrive user before you could increase your storage trying the follow below:

    http://skydrive.com

    1. Click on Manage storage

    2. Then SkyDrive Free should list at 25GB like the above said if you have it

    3. click Select and your storage will increase to 25GB

    More information about the loyalt limit you can find at:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-SG/skydrive/loyalty


    We would appreciate if you could send us the link from windowsphone.com about the subject.



    Regards,



    Andreiaz

    'System and compressed memory' on ASUS G75VY notebook load CPU always on 16%

    thank you for your reply!

    here what I did:

    1. disabled non-microsoft services, disabled all applications in startup list

    result: after restart "system and compressed memory" still gain 17% CPU

    2. ran PC into safe mode ( just to see what happens )

    result: CPU load is 0% for "system and compressed memory"

    3. ran PC in normal mode

    result: CPU load is 0% for "system and compressed memory"

    as we can see from step 1, the problem probably is not in applications ?

    what would you suggest in this case ?

    looking forward for your answer

    New FF - passwords

    Hi:

    If that setting is already enabled, then I suggest as the next troubleshooting step might be Mozilla Safe Mode (not to be confused with Windows Safe Mode)):

    Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode | Firefox Help


    • Please report back and let us know the outcome, as it will dictate the next steps.
    • Also: please tell us what AV/AM/firewall programs are you running on this system?

    Thanks,
    MM
