Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Driver? A huge 37.1 GB!??!?

[Fumz]

Ah... lol... ok, that would be large.

Too large. I'm wondering if they are actually taking up that much space though.

I doubt it... did you catch my edit? Adobe Reader, a 46MB DL, is reporting 700MB. His CS5 is reporting 2.5GB's whereas my wife's CS4 is only 1.5. My guess is that if he expands the Unintall menu everything is going to be incorrect.

Yeah, I caught your edit, I noticed those too, I'm waiting to hear what he see's in windirstat as far as disc space being used.

That's alright, nothing to be embarrassed about, one thing though you listed your cpu specs in the hard drive spot, you can fix that later.

OK, since you have a 250 gb hard drive, how much free space do you have?

Do you see anything listed in that graph showing 37 gb ? I don't.

The pagefile.SYS seems really big for over 2GB+? that's worrying also.

Music is 10GB ...but that's no problem. (YES I BOUGHT ALBUMS FROM SHOPS) AppData is 7GB??!
I have 194GB free on the HDD.
I can't find anything thats 37.1GB?..

Not really, mine is 4GB.

 

[JustTehPanda]

Users - 32.2GB
Windows - 23.4GB
Winsxs - 10.8GB

They are the biggest things on the scanning thing.

194 free on a 250 gb drive is fine, I think this is all just a glitch in how windows is reporting it.

Honestly, I wouldn't worry about clearing space like you were saying in your original post, that does not make windows run faster.

Controlling your start up programs is a big help, this tutorial will be interesting reading for you too,

Don't play with the registry, don't mess with services or try a bunch of useless tweaks because windows 7 doesn't need to be tweaked, it is a lean well designed OS.

If you have any questions just ask.

Welcome to the forum,

I would run WinDirStat - Windows Directory Statistics to check and see if it is actually using that much space.

If it's anything like JustTehPanda found out, it will be Windows misreading it.

I've scanned my hard drive and know for sure it's a mistake. There is no way it's 37.1GB.

Alright first of all, a BIG thanks to the administrator

Guys, I'm facing the same problem. The worst part is... I don't understand anything after I run that WinDirStat -_-.

37.1 GB is such a large space. I see it written in the 'Add/Remove Programs' list, although I don't see anything big in my C drive.

PS: Suggest anything on how to improve my PC for 3D gaming, thanks

Yeah, it's just being reported wrong in Add/Remove Programs list.

That's why you don't see anything that big.

So uhm I should probably uninstall it and install another driver, right? Will it affect anything at all? Damn, my C drive is completely loaded with this :/

Only if you want to, it is not "completely loading up your c drive", I wouldn't worry about it.

Look at the size of "Intel" listing towards the top of your WinDirStat screenshot, it's not even close to that.

Look at this post http://www.sevenforums.com/drivers/...elerator-driver-huge-37-1-gb.html#post1439770

If you do the same you'll see it's not that big.

Okay I just uninstalled the driver and I don't feel like I'm actually using Windows 7 anymore. The way windows open, the taskbar displays, etc. are not in the way they used to be. How can I install another driver? Any link?

PS: I tried installing one for Windows 7 and an error message is displayed, "Your computer does not meet the minimum requirement to install this software"? What the heck :/
