Fife Saint Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Is there a keyboard command for your laptop to mirror the screen? Usually like 'FN + F12' or something. HP laptop so I'll try that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Defragmentation shouldn't increase or decrease storage. It simply rearranges where files are stored to allow the CPU to access the information quicker and more efficiently. This seems strange. It went back to normal as soon as I deleted a video the following day. Cheers for the reply though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I did a full defrag of my hard drive last night and now the available space has dropped from 80GB to 30GB which is kind of the opposite of what I expected. Any advice? Delete your porn. Worst advice ever. Wait for it.......................................................... It went back to normal as soon as I deleted a video the following day.

It cant increase the physical storage available but it can, and often does, increase the storage the OS sees as available. As it rearranges the files it can free up areas of the disc that werent available before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I was more trying to point out that defrag should not in any way reduce the storage available. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boostin' Kev Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Google Chrome isn't working for me just now although Firefox is fine. Best way I can describe is that when it launches the browser screen is dark grey, there's no toolbars at the top of the page and I get a couple of error messages at the bottom right hand saying that extensions have crashed. I've had a look around online but haven't come up with a solution. So far I've uninstalled/reinstalled twice, ran CCleaner and restarted a couple of times too. Any suggestions much appreciated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I would just stick to using Firefox anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
