In some cases you'll find large files in the \Windows\Installer folder. Expected size varies depending on what apps you've installed, but an average size is around 3-5 Gigabytes. I'd check the folder properties and see how much content your system's folder contains. *These are important modules and should be removed manually. You can use a program MSIZap.exe to remove invalid entries. ...

Have 10 machines, virtually all identical, with Windows XP Pro SP3 and updates as of 31 Oct 09 each with 4GB RAM and 80GB hard drive. Two machines have had their paging file set to 8192 (min and max values). I just tried setting another to 8192 and am receiving an error stating that I can only set it to a max of 4096. After checking via Google, this seems to be a hard limit without ...

It might. It depends on how skillful the person is that accesses your PC. Was this XP home or Professional? If it was professional, I think that the files can be encrypted.

Since the time change on Sunday my WinXP Pro computer shows the right time in the Windows clock (in the system tray), but programs that use a function call to get the time from the operating system are 1 hour ahead. I recall something similar happened the last time the clocks changed. Does anyone know of a fix for this?
