I have a really odd issue, if I restart my PC I get past post and when the loading Vista scroll should start I get a black screen, if I restart I get a failure to start and if I choose start normally every thing works fine I tried a Vista repair to no avail, and its annoying and silly that the only way I can boot is to fail to boot first. I am running Vista Ultimate x64/8 GB Ram/8800 GTS/500...

Three years ago I purchased a high powered laptop which came with Microsoft Media Edition Pre-installed. When Vista became avaialable, I upgraded to VISTA Ultimate Edition Upgrade. The laptop gave acceptable performance and I was satisfied. I recently built a high powered desktop machine and installed XP Professional. I would like to go back to Media Edition on the Laptop and move Vista...

None of the 32 bit driver links work.. anyone have updated status for the new vista rc1

I had a thread on this forum some weeks ago about my computer and constant bsods which I attributed to Norton since they started after I installed that software. This is a link to that post: http://www.vistax64.com/general-discussion/178649-page-fault-nonpaged-area-other-bsod.html#post826249 Since then I have uninstalled Norton and still have the bluescreens. I've tried various things...

Running vista home premium and office 2007. When I open a "Microsoft Word" document and select fileprint, a window opens with the title bar "Print". When I open a publisher document and select fileprint, I also get a window with title bar "Print". In both cases, my preferred printer is a "Xerox Document Centre 470 PS" BUT Those two "Print" windows are not the same.

My effort to install Vista Service Pack 1 has left my machine totally unusable. I hope Bill Gates rots in hell for this complete and utter failure. Sell Microsoft stock short. The company is a mess. It puts out crap for software. Bottom line on my experience. SP1 downloaded OK. In installation it made it through the shut down. However, upon bootup, it appears to be stuck in an...

Hi All, Finally i got some better forum were i can put my issue and expect some good reply. hope someone will help me with what i want... I got *HP Pavilion Notebook*/Laptop *With VISTA HOME ED* 32bit (WITHOUT SERVICE PACK 1) preinstalled and with A recovery Partition on hard drive. I created a recovery disk and lost it.

I bought a new hard drive and Vista Ultimate 64-bit (full version). After doing a clean install of Vista, I found that several of my older programs are not compatible with and won't install on Vista. I don't want to spend $400 or more on upgrading the software. I'd like to keep both XP and Vista on my computer but I'm not sure how to do this. Should I partition the new drive while...

This probably isn't the place for this, but usenet is my only choice. CNET has a review process, but you must create an account, and right now it isn't working. I just supplied an email address (so they can sell it to spammers) for the account creation and the process failed (site error). CNET doesn't want to know. I downloaded AVG antivirus and the installer failed. As the the installation is...

How do I change the monitor? Currently it is set as Generic PNP Monitor or something like that. I have an old CRT Monitor that I assume is not PNP. In XP and before, I was able to specify what the monitor is so Windows would know what the monitor is capable of. How do I do that in Vista?

I recently built my first computer (had a few headaches involving power supply and such, but got those fixed), and have been trying to install Windows Vista x64 for the last day. At first, the CD/DVD wasn't booting the cd correctly and caused "insert proper media" or something, but I changed CD drives and it now works. The problem is, the installer will not get past the grey bar with "Windows is...

Is it posible to install vista without having to reinstall all my programs? I have an acronis true image backup but I'm thinking that if I do a restore it will also restore xp. Then what? This is breaking my little brain. Please help if you can. Thanks wwp

Just updated my wife's computer. Don't know why this hadn't happened before - all updates are set for automatic. The problem now is that none of her keyboard shortcuts to open programs work. And the icons pinned to the start menu say the programs don't exist. They do, and I've repinned them from Explorer, but I can no longer set ctl+alt+W for word, etc. What happened and how can I fix...
