I'm running Windows 7 64 bit on my new semi-homebuilt PC. I replaced the RAM that came with my bundle, a 1 GB generic stick, with 2GB of Buffalo Select, 800mhz, and then bought another about ten days later. I didn't know that it's desirable to buy as a kit then. Can I expect problems, or is it merely that buying a kit is ideal? To be fair, the machine is running great, after a fortnight of...

I apologize for the length of this diatribe. Here we go. I bought a new computer two years ago. It. came with Vista Home Premium 32 bit. I upgraded to Vista Ultimate 32 bit. No problem. I saved a full image of Ultimate to an external HD using Acronis. I did a clean install of Win 7 Beta when it was released. I decided to remove the Win 7 Beta and go back to Vista Ultimate using the Acronis...

OK this is getting REALLY annoying. I obtained the AIK for Vista some time ago and installed it on a Vista x86 computer and have used it since then. Now with Windows 7, I have a computer running x64 and I want to install the Windows 7 version of WAIK to build installations for Windows 7 x64 for our computers. In the last few days I have downloaded KB3AIK.iso about three times trying to get...

I have a HP Pavillion a1632x which came with XP, but was advertised to be upgradeable to Vista. Later on, this option was not supported. This falls on false advertising! Doesn't HP have trial drivers? I called HP, but they don't seem to support Vista for this machine. Last week, I was infected by a virus and was unable to recover my XP OS. I received a copy of Vista at a trade show, and...

Before I had to re-install Windows Vista, I had a function that grouped desktop icons into a vertical 'column' on the left of the screen, with sections headed 'Communicate', 'Office', 'Connect' etc.; by clicking on these top headings, I could access the set of 2 or 3 shortcuts falling under each heading, which was a very handy way of grouping shortcut icons and looked neat. With my newly...

I recently had to reinstall Vista after a HD failure. Almost everything is working as expected. I do have tasks that I want to have run for long periods of time (usually overnight).

I recently added 2 gig memory, a new processor and a new hard drive (C) to my Dell XPS 420. I used my "(Dell) Reinstallation DVD" to install Vista to the new hard drive which is now C:. The original Vista is still on the old hard drive (E:). FWIW, during the new HD install I sometimes booted the PC from the new drive and the old drive. At some point, Vista put that "Evaluation copy" at the...

Hi everyone. My computer is encountering a black screen with a movable cursor after the windows logo on start up and I have no idea what is causing this. When I start from safe mode (safe mode, safe mode with cmd prompt) it does the same thing. One thing that I've noticed is that when I run it in safe mode it stops at crcdisk and continues on to the black screen. I have no idea what could be...
