My laptop is running vista 32....recently it started after id shutdown to start not responding on all of the windows, i ran virus/spyware/adaware did registry cleaners such as reg mech and reg cure, cleaned up the pc and nothing was fixed, so i then went and updated any drivers that needed to be updated. I still have the problem but i can at least get onto the web which i couldnt previously or run any programmes, they do become unreponsive especialy if theres more than one. i get a lot of script errors too and i have just installed the latest java...now when i switch on i get a black screen with personalised settings not responding aswell...now i do not have any system restore points to use as they were taken up by fixers, i have spent 4 continous days trying to fix this laptop and am lost -- arriella |

Backup your personal files and reinstall Vista. Even MS admit that Vista is far from perfect and would probably suggest you reinstall. A lot of problems found in Vista just can't be solved - hey, that's life with Vista Good luck |

NEVER use registry cleaners. At best, they accomplish nothing; and at worst, they can help to hose your system as you found out. Do as Warren suggested and reload your system. Use a good freeware antivirus program; I like Avira. Even though it comes with an annoying nag screen when it updates, it has worked very well for me. Install Malwarebytes Antimalware and Superantispyware to keep other nasties off your machine. And get rid of the registry cleaners. |

Why use Avira if it comes with an annoying nag screen? Use AVAST FREE or AVG FREE. No nagging screen and they both work well.

Why use Avira if it comes with an annoying nag screen? Use AVAST FREE or AVG FREE. No nagging screen and they both work well. Well.... there are ways to turn it off. Google "disable Avira nag screen". Avira has a small resource footprint and works well on lesser machines, although machines meant for Vista generally have the resources. Avast and AVG (in particular) have been getting panned for not being as good as they used to be over in the XP newsgroups. I'll stick with Avira.
