Palm software fragmented files when running Windows defragmenter

I run defragment on Windows XP and it stops at different percentage points but always shows PALM files as being fragmented. Should I completely remove the software and reinstall or is there another way around it.  I would like defragment to fully complete.
Thanks.

How often are you using Palm Desktop?
The reason being if you are syncing often, then the files are most likely to fragment a lot as they are being rewritten often.
Uninstalling and reinstalling might get rid of them for the moment, but they will most likely just become fragmented again.
Second question is how big are files? If they aren't very big then they aren't going to slow down your system. I have had many systems over the years and certain files could never be defragmented or would be heavily fragmented all the time. But the files were a drop in the ocean compared to the rest of them.
Do you have more than 15% free disk space? You need more than that to effectively defragment your hard disk.

  • WiFi slow when running Windows 7 on Mac Mini (2011)

    Hi,
    I have just bought a Mac Mini (2011) and used Boot Camp for installing Windows 7 as well. However I am experiencing some problems with the WiFi when running Windows. The speed is less than 10% of what it should be. I have tried connecting a network cable and then everything is running fine. When booting into OS X Lion there are no problems with running WiFi. I have tried to rightclick on the network adapter and select update drivers but it says that the driver installed is up to date.
    Any ideas?

    Apparently it was a router issue. When I connected my old Cisco router as an extended access point both the Mac OS and Windows session connected as supposed to. I made a factory reset of the router provided by my ISP, configured it again and the problem apparently seemed to be solved.
    However overnight the problem occured again - I swithed the router off and on again and was able to connect. I noticed in the DHCP log that when running Mac OS the computername "My-Mac-Mini" is sent to the router with the MAC address of the network card - when running Windows it is the machine name I entered during the Windows installation. Not sure if that is confusing the router from my ISP but after I changed the computername in Mac OS the connection seems stable.

    Sounds like something has been added into the Reader folder. I would recommend uninstalling, running http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, removing any left over parts of the Reader folder (this might have been the problem), reboot, and reinstall. Hopefully that solves the problem. For future question about Reader, you should consider asking in the Reader forum, this is not it.

  • IIf I create a partition for Bootcamp that is at least 30 GB in size, is that all the storage I get when running Windows?

    If I create a partition for Bootcamp that is at least 30 GB in size, is that all the storage I get when running Windows?

    There are differences between each Mac and what the original configuration of the Mac is/was. If your Mac originally came with an Optical drive, burning the ISO to a DVD and using it will work. Hardware modifications like Optibay will cause problems. Modifying Bootcamp info.plist will cause problems. Disk Utility partitioning will cause problems. A custom Hybrid MBR will cause problems. External Optical drives are unlikely to work. There is long litany of grief.

  • Question mark when running Windows

    When running Windows Vista on my iMac - Leopard OS and it is idle after "a while" I see a flashing disk object with a blinking question mark. Only way out is the off button. I have read about this problem during start ups but this after the machine is on and running and is idle. Any ideas?
    iMac 3.06   Windows Vista  

    I am running from Bootcamp. It is very odd - this error occurs when Windows has booted succesfully and multipkle apps and games have been run over the course of the day then after being idle for a while in the evening - bingo the screen goes grey and the disk with the flashing question mark is there and as said the only next step is the off button. When I boot back up in Windows it runs fine until the same error ocurrs sometime after use and it is idle, that is no apps running. I have run Norton and Malwarbytes virus scans with nothing found. I run Registry clean up and after that fixes items same thing. Also I run TuneUp which has kept everything running smoothly - I do not engage TurboBoost.

  • Multitouch on track pad not working when running Windows 8 in boot camp

    Does anyone know a work around on how to resolve the issue of more than one fingers on the trackpad? For example, I use one finger to click a window then another finger to slide/move the window to a different location on the screen. This does not work when running Windows 8 in Boot Camp latest version. Any suggestion is much appreciated.

    very very few gestures are supported in windows

  • How do I share Mac music and photo files when in Windows Bootcamp mode?

    I have a new iMac with a terabyte of storage that includes about 30 gigs each of iTunes music and jpg photos. I need to share them to the Windows Bootcamp environment so I can wirelessly stream to them to a DLink DSM 320 media server connected to an AV system located in another room. When in Bootcamp Windows the the 320 can "see" the Windows machine but cannot find any media.
    So the question is, how do I share files between Mac and Windows when in Windows Bootcamp?
    A better solution would be to directly connect the Dlink when in the Mac environment but I have not been able to find software to do that (the Dlink product is for PC only.) If anyone knows of such software that would be great too.

    Windows needs third party software to see files on the MAC OS extended FS. I've heard MacDrive does this.

  • When running windows in vmware fusion how do I extend my windows desktop to my second display

    I am running Windows 7 x64 Enterprise in a VMware  session session on my MacBook pro.  I was just given a second thunderbolt display today and I want to be able to extend my desktop when running the windows VM.  When the VM is shut down it's working perfectly and awesome.  However when I'm logged into and working with in the VM, I'm limited to only using one display.  It would be very helpful to be able to extend to the second screen as I need to run 3-4 nearly full screen apps at once and would like to utilize this second display.

    You might get better results raising that question in the VMware Fusion forum. I don't have two monitors so I can't test anything but a quick check on that forum for that question gave: "Normally if a user wants to use two monitors with a VM, they can select "Use All Displays in Full Screen" in Full screen mode."

  • No sound when running Windows, after installing Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit-Macbook Pro

    As the title states I can't get any sound, no matter what configuration I try, when I run Windows. I used the latest version of Lion and the latest version of Bootcamp when installing Windows 7 via bootcamp. I have completed all available Windows updates as well, and still no luck. Mac side, the sound works perfectly. I've been online for hours searching for a solution and I'm running short on possible solutions and patience. So any help or suggestions are would be helpful and greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!

  • My mac mini (2011) is only downloading at 100mbps running Mountain Lion, but 200 mbps when running Windows 7 on bootcamp.  Why?

    I've upgraded my internet to a shaw 250 Mbps plan.  Using their speed test I'm getting over 200 Mbps on this mini, running windows 7 on bootcamp.
    When running moutain lion, I'm getting exacty 100 mbps.  solid, looks like it's being limited.
    Network utility app shows link speed of 1Gbit/s zero errors or collisions.
    Network is cable modem wired into airport extreme (5th generation), then wired to the mini; all cables cat6.
    Is there something in Mountain Lion that limits the ethernet bandwidth to 100 Mbps?
    And how do I turn it off so I can get the 200+ the hardware can clearly do?
    Thanks

    oh, btw.
    I get exactly the same max download speed of 100 (102.?) Mbit/s using wireless; which shows as a 450 Mbit/s link speed.
    So I seem to have the same limit to all my network connections.

  • Read only files when running in Nokia mode

    I am using a Nokia 6085 running PC Suite in Nokia Mode. I have a problem whereby files saved on the memory card are accessible only as read-only files when opened in their appropriate application. However, in the Nokia browser and when in Data Storage mode they are normal (non-read only) files. This is somewhat annonying.
    Perhaps I hould also add that when I try to save a file tothe memory from an application I am not allowed access to that folder (even though I have administrator functions on).
    Can anyone help me?

    Fairly standard stuff actually.
    I have tried to save both MS Word and Excel files.
    I have noticed that when I try to "browse" to the phone (the Nokia 6085 icon not the phone browser icon) from my Gmail (using Firefox) I receive a message "browsing to this folder has been disabled" and no further explanation.
