berrybarath;1043839 Wrote: Thanks Vinnya Let me explain clearly. i had an problem with playing games. that means my computer freezes while gaming. i tried to upgrade and degrade my graphic card driver but i didnt solved my problem. my friend suggest me to update BIOS. this is the exact reason for updating bios. now my problem solved with playing games and started with vista. i like vista because of the HD sound capability,DX10, themes, fast browsing etc.... i am ready to sacrifice vista ( with worries ) but i just want to know the reason why its happening. why i got no problem with the trial version and i have the problem with the activated version. (sorry if my doubts seems to be silly.) Do you have a DirectX10 compliant graphics card or is it 9? if you load your PC and find out what card it is let us know. You may be better off using XP and then if you really like the vista inteface you can re-skin XP with something like windowblinds etc. -- argowen |

Please Help!!!!!
Argowen sounds like he has a good idea. This is a little out of my league. But I'm glad that one problem was solved. But that how Vista is. It is one problem after another. I am still battling my own problems with Vista, such as a slow-loading Internet Explorer and intermittent keyboard...... -- vinnya |

I think I might have an idea for your problem, Berrybarath. I found that Vista freezes on me too when I have too many progams opened at once. It could be that you don't have enough RAM. You should add more RAM. I found that Vista is very wimpy when it comes to programs. It seems to be more unstable when multiple programs open up. Also, do you antivirus and anti-Maleware programs on your computer?? Sometimes a virus or maleware can cause sudden freezing of programs or cause them to act weird or become inordinately slooow.(meant to do that to show you how slow Vista can be, LOL). I recommend Norton 360, it is the best out there, and Malewarebytes Anti-maleware program. It is free, and is phenominal!! It is constantly updating (like Norton Antivirus) and will keep your computer clean. Try running both programs to make sure there is nothing on your computer that will cause it to freeze or act weird. I also recommend for everyone to download the following maintenance programs, which are all free (but can be bought for like $30 each, well worth the price): Advance System care 3 from Iobit-one of the best maintenance programs out there. Does everything from remove clutter from your computer, to defragging, to registry repair/defrag (very, very important because the registry is the computer's engine, and everytime you open a program, update or download something, or remove a program, you registry gets cluttered with junk that slows down the computer), to speeding up the internet. Also hs an excellent feature called "deep clean" which releases some RAM by closing unneccessary programs. I use it several times until I have at least 1200 RAM on mine, but that all depends on total RAM. I have 1975 RAM total available. Easy clean registry repair- repairs registry by removing unused registry entries PC Checkup- Also excellent for removing useless files and unwanted temp internet files. I wouldn't recommend using the defrag on this because it might not work for some reason. Use Advanced system care and the next program for that. SpeedItUp (free version)-Has a multi-feature setup that has a Windows optimization, RAM booster, internet cleaner and hard disk speedup. Download these programs, follow the instructions and use them everytime you use the computer, before you shutdown. I can guarantee that your Vista will run better. And if you are interested, there are some tweaks you can do to your registry(some in the command prompt, run as administrator, and some in registry editor(regedit, again as an administrator. Do this by right-clicking on either the command prompt or regedit,whatever you are in at the time). Just go to Speedguide.net-Windows Vista tweaks, and Windows registry guide('www.pctools.com\guides\registry' (http://www.pctools.com\guides\registry)) and follow the instructions. Make sure you backup your registry first just in case something happens and it doesn't work, but I never had a problem and found these tweaks to be very helpful. Remember, this is for someone who is advanced and knows a little about Vista, but like I said before, I did it several times already (had to reinstall windows twice already with Vista,so you see what I mean about problems..) and it works great, at least for until Vista freaks out. Hope this helps, vinnya -- vinnya |

So I'm a bozo, hey Manny?? Well let me tell you something, pal. I've been using all these programs I said without incident. What the hell do you know?? If you think you got a solution to his problem then let's hear it or shut the hell up!! You can walk the walk, but can you talk the talk, huh??? Have you ever used advanced system 3 or speeditup? You don't what the hell you are talking about! And as far as those tweaks are concerned, I said that those are for advanced persons who have some experience, but I *never*, and I'll say it again because I know you are a little slow, *never* had a problem with these tweaks!! In fact, after doing the tweaks and constant maintenance programs I recommended, the computer was running *great *for a while. It was extremely fast (I have Verizon fios, which is supposed to be 10 megs and 2 megs, but after the tweak, it was 14 and 4, quite a jump in speed, faster than advertised! The programs also loaded faster and I didn't have any problem with freezing. But when you have Vista, it is only good for a while before it starts to get all freaky. But if you know about Vista, you would know that now, wouldn't you?? You obviously don't and are talking out your ass. Let me tell you something. I learned computer the *hard *way!! I had a Packard Bell, the worst computer ever made with windows 95, the worst operating system *ever*. I had to completely reinstall windows every 3 months. That means removing and reinstalling the partition, reformatting the drive and then reinstalling windows, so don't tell me about computers pal. I may not have had any formal training but I'll run rings around you when it comes to computers. As far as what I said before, I'm sticking with it because I believe what i said is the right thing and if you think you have the answer, well let's hear it or shut the hell up. -- vinnya |
