Re: scf /scannow & INFO in Event Viewer

We posted about the same time. Above your last post is my post. I changed
my pagefile size. Does it look right? I am clueless. As far as the sites
you posted and the switch. I know nothing about either of them. ehome means
nothing to me and I have no clue which of those things to download. In case
the above post regarding pagefile does not look right. I am going to reboot
once more. I went to diskeeper and it seems it has been changed. Doesn't
look much different than the first set of numbers I sent to you in my opinion
but again I don't understand this stuff.

I am at your mercy!! Thank you.

ok,

well i think that we would
be on the right track with
resizing the pagefile.

if one were to apply the
vm formula against your
4 gig ram, then you would
need to set the limit of the
pagefile to 6 gigs which would
not be prudent.

however, let the above be
secondary because it is fine tuning
the system.

the priority seems to be the ehome.
------------

in regards to ehome, it is obvious
that the folder is missing and required
according to your sfc scan.

personally i don't like the name
ehome as it eludes to a webpage
or something that is expendable.

if the folder was simply deleted
what you could try is a third party
program called recuva. with it
the deleted folder, if it is still on your
disk can be restored.

another option is to roll back your
entire system via a system restore point
that folder will likely be restored as
well since it was a system folder.

but it is unclear how far back it was
deleted and if your restore points go
that far as well. however if the issue you
have is recent, then by all means i
would attempt a system restore.

another thought is that maybe the
dell home site will have downloads and
installation packages for your computer.

there is also a dell forum and perhaps
the techs and other users have a way to
reinstall ehome without using the factory
restore. maybe someone can zip their folder
and email it to you.

i did a search and this is what
i found:

http://search.live.com/results.aspx?srch=105&FORM=IE7RE&q=download+ehome

----------

in regards to the 4 gigs of
ram, have you looked into
a switch provided by microsoft?

perhaps you have it already
or may not even need it:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa366718.aspx

the above is still another
tweak so it should be saved
for later, that is if you even need
it.

--------------

finally, it is a good idea to
copy your personal files and
don't forget about your email
boxes too. there is a freeware
called siw (system information)
that can provide you with a printout
of your email accounts and passwords.

Taking these issues only:

I have 4GB ram not 2GB

I have searched for each of the ehome missing files (hidden files shown) no
dice not there.

I reread the Update for Rollup2 and it looks like this is a hotfix not a
complete download. I am pretty sure I downloaded the Rollup2 some time ago
from MSupdate. I don't think any program has been deleted.

Ehome folders:

Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft
Same for each user
Documents and Settings\Karen\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft
C:\Windows
And this interesting entry:
IIS_qss_wss_changehome located in C:\i386\IIS6CAB



I have little data on this computer but will definitely move it before I do
anything. This is a 720XPS Dell and I have had way too many issues to start
loading it up.

Programs I generally use are Omnipage 16 (supposedly programmed for
multi-threads), DragonSpeaking (latest version), Office 2007--Outlook, Word,
Access, Excel, IE7. It is a working computer--not a play computer. It is up
to date including .net framework 3 which I think it was DragonSpeaking that
required it. I spend a lot of time at live streams on the web and on a
couple of forums.

Thanks a bunch and I know it might come to a time I want to go backward.
BUT NOT YET. I use AVG full package paid for internet security, virus, spam,
etc. And I use Diskeeper. There you have it.

Once again thanks a bunch.

ok, well at least
we know a 'tech'
was involved and
some issues have
resolved. and i
don't have a problem
with providing some
additional fyi towards
the issue at hand.

however, it will take a while
for me to review the
additional information
you just provided. but the
best course of action is to
resolve what seems to be
"known" issues.

----------------------

briefly the number 2 is equal to
2 megabytes and is the low
end of the range.

the 1152 i provided is just an
estimate for the high end of the
range.

the initial size of 2 is the floor
or base, if you will. however the
high end can fluctuate but never
be more than 1.5 times the physical
ram. it can be more than 1.5 but
regular windows will never ever
exceed this limit. however, the
limit can be lowered down to
a respectable size.

although i do not know firsthand
your configuration, it would
not be unfair to say that if
it is a regular computer with
regular software then the you
might regularly need 70 to 300
megs of virtual memory, even
though you have 2 gigs of
physical ram.

therefore if yours is
set to a range of 2000-4000,
instead of 70-300 you can
see that your pagefile is
overstated. so my suggestion
is to set your range 2-1152.

still, 1152 could be considered
too high. but it is not high enough
to be detrimental to performance.

---------------

in regards to ehome,
the add/remove listing
is not always accurate
because folders can simply
be deleted instead of using
the add/remove method.

so perhaps the lines you see
are orphaned entries.

you might simply explore
your system directory for
the ehome folder as it would
be a better way to assess
if you have the needed folder
and files.

also, i would search for
"one" of those dll's notated
on the event viewer and see
which folders that file resides.

though the error message seems
to be highly technical, it really
is telling you that a file (dll) cannot
be copied from one place into
another.

in otherwords, something (a)
cannot be processed from a location (b)
into another (c). the variables of the
formula that you have to validate
are: a, b and c.


--------------

something to keep in mind
is that sometimes it is easier
to actually revert back to
factory defaults. this is
especially true if errors
continue to pop up
after resolving some. it is
like a vicious cycle that
can only come to an end
by starting from scratch.

but you probably already
understand the above.
hopefully, the ehome
issue and perhaps the
pagefile are the culprits.

Thank you again for the fast reply. First, I know all about restore to
factory state. No way am I ready to do that. Tech help is always quick to
jump to that as a resolution rather then spend time to resolve problems.

Initially, my problems began with the video driver. Believe that is
settled
now. During one of those sessions I had the tech uninstall the Business
portion of my Outlook program. I believe now he did it improperly as he
subsequently had to uninstall all the SQL stuff on my computer so I would
boot without errors. I then had a problem with streaming video wherein my
media player would replace the player on a particular web-page and not play
the stream. Ultimately, if I clicked on a page such as wvec.com and went
to
interactive eagle cam the browser would blow out and close completely.
Seems
to be fixed now.

Ever since I have had this computer I receive this error and have yet to
resolve what it is and it may simply be I shut down the computer with a
disk
in the cd or dvd drive for all I know.
