Thank you send the Pitstop please
There is nothing there to account for it.

TosSmartSrv is the toshiba disk monitoring
dwm is the desktop windows manager
and svchost is a necessary windows process.


The reason I asked you to check that restore points were still available, was not with the intention of using one, I am not sure it will fix this. It was simply to ensure that something had not deleted those.

So do you want me to use system restore at a certain date or have you got any other suggestions?
Thanks Mike

This is getting hard work Mike


Please read my post I need the OVERDRIVE test results.

Click on "Free Computer Check-up" listed below PC Pitstop OverDrive

Try This???

[Macboatmaster]

What I am seeing on Pitstop, is not the same as what you copied and pasted from PCMatic.

Therefore I presume you processed the offered optimization and cleaning on PcMatic

We do not like these automated methods, as you sometimes struggle to know what has been changed.

However - as there appears to have been a need for a cleanup and it appears that this has now been done - is there any change noticeable, particularly of course to the mouse.

Would you also check again please your restore points are there.

[nextyear58]

I DID NOT do any cleaning or check yes fix it now.
The mouse cursor is still the same (blue circle working)
The restore points are all still there,
Mike

[Macboatmaster]

Well I am sorry about that, I cannot just perceive how Pitstop says
System restore capacity - that means the space on the HDD allocated to restore points is 0

Pc Matic has been reported as APPARENTLY deleting restore points, not as an intended action, but it is alleged as a consequence of some other changes to files etc.


Will post again tomorrow. - well today now about 1800 hrs

May I offer you my sincere apologies

I have just been checking the topics in my list and somehow I overlooked my promise to post again

I forgot, and then of course on my list I see the last post as mine, and do not of course then view the matter as waiting for my attention.

I appreciate the reason is no help to you and once again please accept my apologies.

It is the first time I have made such a mistake.

I sincerely hope you have managed to make progress.

Regards
Macboatmaster

NB If of course the matter still requires attention please post.
