I have a weirdness with my new Vista laptop on my wireless network. I don't know if this is particular to the wireless component or if this might occur on hardwired networks as well. I am unable to test whether this occurs on a wired network as the router is situated upstairs in a bedroom and I don't easily get to that part of the house. Periodically, most often after Vista returns from Sleep...

A few days ago, I had a warning that Security Center wasn't running. I did a full system scan and found out that the computer was infested with a trojan attack. After hours of frustration and several hijackthis logs, I finally managed to clean the computer (I'm %99 sure it is clean). But Security Center still doesn't start automatically. Each time, I have to start it by right clicking in the...

All for Vista 64-bit Ultimate: 1.) I've had a third falling out over 25 or so years with Symantec/Norton and am looking for a Registry search tool where you can search for a particular 'word' much as you do now but where it will list all the finds, review ones you want to delete, uncheck ones you want to keep and finally make it so (delete them). Doing this one at at time is such a waste...

Please help, I think I have dug myself into a big hole. There were bad virus issues I could not get on top with (CA Security Suite did not do its job) and I decided to re-format the HDD. Vista seemed to install fine "Copying Windows files" "Expanding files" "Installing features" "Installing updates" till the last step "Completing installation" - where it needed to reboot.

Hi, I am running Windows Vista 64 bit and recently, whenever I delete a file, it gets deleted, but the recycling window pops up and never closes (have tried leaving it for a few hours). The files are deleted, since they are in the recycle bin, and if i manually kill the recycling window through task manager everything is ok. Any ideas why this is happening, and how I can stop it?
