Purchased machine, or did you install Vista yourself? If the former, which
manufacturer? Did you uninstall all the crapware? What printer? Drivers from Vista or the printer's manufacturer? Can _anything_ print?

Drivers from Vista or the printer's manufacturer? Can _anything_ print? Dana Cline - MCE MVP I have the EXACT, same problem and it's very frustrating. My system is a 3.5 mo. old Dell XPS 410 that came loaded w/ Vista Home Premium. All crapware is uninstalled and very few other apps are installed (I have MS Office 2003 and nothing else that isn't MS certified). I get this problem occasionally and I can get the system back to full ops after a warm restart, sometimes only after a cold power boot. The installed Canon printer has nothing to do with the problem. The frustrating thing is that I can review my Events Viewer and see no difference in "warnings," "errors," and "information" between a good boot and a bad one! The only thing different is that the Control Panel, desktop personalization, a few MS games, and Aero desktop are nuked. Perhaps some other things are bad too (I can't print either when this happens). This is obviously a real problem out there since several people have written about it but there are NO answers. Additionally, this only happened after I've had my system for about 7 weeks and after a series of Microsoft critical updates. Dana, since you're an MS pro, pass this around. It's for real! Thanks. |

My machine is new and purchased. I haven't talk with my manufacturer but i am
looking foward. I formated my computer when that happened for the first time, but now it the same, so i can't do nothing more. Thank's for the replies!! |

That's just really weird and completely outside my experience. About the
only thing I can think of is a hardware issue - find a good memory diagnostic and try it... Check inside the PC to make sure all the chips and boards are firmly seated. Otherwise nag the manufacturer until the either fix or replace the system... Dana Cline - MCE MVP "Clearwire Mail" wrote in message ... "Dana Cline" wrote in message ...

And........ does this happen to you EVERY time you boot up, or just sometimes? I'm beginning to think an older MS update is nuking us. After you reinstalled Vista, I'll bet you got all the most recent updates and continued having this freaky problem. Stay tuned..... EW |

Dana Cline - MCE MVP It's weird that the Clearwire person has the same problem as I do, as does xphilip, and several others that posted similar probs opening the Control Panel, etc. I really don't think this is a solitary issue. FYI, I think I've worn out my memory diagnostic programs, and they all say I'm fine. Thank you anyway. |

Dana Cline - MCE MVP Will do again as you say, but I doubt it's memory or other hardware. Too many others have this situation, but I'll keep at it. Believe it or not, after I turned ON my Google pop-up blocker AND turned on my GUI boot back to the default setting (boot.ini tab) the problem went away, so far anyway. No worries. |

You say you reset your GUI boot to fix it...what had you changed your GUI
boot to? Where? I seem to remember a similar setting in XP from MSCONFIG but I never changed it. Dana Cline - MCE MVP "Clearwire Mail" wrote in message ... "Dana Cline" wrote in message ...
