I am trying to do a system repair from the original Vista installation disc.
When I get to the point where I can click on repair windows it brings up a box telling me to click on the windows installation i want to repair, if none are listed click on "load drivers". So I click on load drivers and another box pops up asking me to browse to the location of the files. It is looking for setup type files. I have browsed through the Vista installation disc, the Dell Drivers and Utilities disc that came with my computer and done a web search which turned up nothing useful. So the question is where are these repair setup files? ]]> Drivers Brian D http://www.vistaforums.com/system-repair-drivers-t96042.html on screen keyboard will not run http://www.vistaforums.com/screen-keyboard-not-run-t96040.html Fri, 17 May 2013 02:20:39 GMT When I try to start the on-screen keyboard, it does not start and I get a popup error screen that says "a referral was returned from the server".

HI Guys

First a little back ground info

A 150 GB partitioned HDD held my C: Drive at about 75 GB the drive kept getting full and I also had persistant Low memory warning.

I would delete unused program files and burn to disk photos etc to make more room but literally a couple days later the HDD would be almost full.

I cloned the then full HDD to a 250GB Drive and repartitioned which gave my C drive approx 160GB

All good

Still getting my low memory despite CPU running at approx 75%

Then noticed that from somewhere the amount of Data on the C drive has jumped by approx 25 GB in about a week despite only using for emails and a small amount of paper work

My HDD always sounds as though it is doing plenty of work a bit like a defrag.

I think something has gone wrong and is working away in the back ground creating data.

Can anybody help with how or where I can work out what it is.

I have tried to access the System Restore files but have been unable to do this as yet. I am new to the Forums and I could not find any thread dealing with this.
