Answer» There is no compcln.exe in my Windows 7 installation. A WEB search showed that it is not INCLUDED. It is a Vista file. There is no compcln.exe in my Windows 7 installation. A web search showed that it is not included. It is a Vista file. Why do I have it? I guess I did an upgrade install from Vista... I thought I only did that with my laptop... oh well. My mistake.Quote from: BC_Programmer on August 17, 2010, 04:45:07 PM Why do I have it? I guess I did an upgrade install from Vista... I thought I only did that with my laptop... oh well. My mistake. After a thought, I find that it is coming with service pack 2 of windows vista. That should be where this compcln.exe came from. So, BC, if you ever done that you now know where it came from.

Give BC_Programmer's advice a try first to REDUCE the size of the winsxs folder. http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/itdojo/?p=1060 You might want to turn off hibernation and carefully get rid of hiberfil.sys (http://helpdeskgeek.com/windows-7/windows-7-delete-hibernation-file-hiberfil-sys/) to reclaim some hard drive space. You could also try decreasing your page file (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Change-the-size-of-virtual-memory). Before doing so, make a note of the current settings in case you need to revert. If things start getting really slow or unstable, you might want to undo it.

Set no paging file on drive C and 6gb or system managed on drive D.Quote from: michaewlewis on August 19, 2010, 01:02:30 PM Actually, now that I think through it again, just move your paging file to your other drive.
