Nothing works, nothing is compatible every program supposedly compatible seizes or shuts down! It is constantly vulnerable to viruses!

My apologies if this is in the wrong section. I have seen that there are many issues regarding microphone use in regards to Vista, which is why I suspect this problem does involve Vista. Basically I bought a new headset microphone, and put it into my sound card slots, as well as my integrated one, but the feedback I receive from the speakers is extremely low. I have indeed tried the two...

I'm REALLY tired of this. Every automatic update changes my resolution to 800x600. Not only do I have to reset it but it changes all my standard keep-open apps that are sized and positioned as I want them. So I have to resize them all as well. Is ther ANY way to avoid this? I think it's incredibly RUDE! Thanks, Sheila

Sigh, I can not figure out how to repair/restore the MBR on my Toshiba Satellite notebook PC. Used to be easy with WinXP, I just popped in my legal copy of WinXP and chose the option, or in a command prompt typed fixmbr. But with Vista and a Toshiba laptop that has recovered CDs (two) I am clueless. I have tried the recovery CD, but it looks like it wants to toast the system, wipe everything, to...

Not all pop up boxes are at lower resolution. For example, when I open up network...
