BSOD on shutdown, only if 1G ram by ABC
Compaq 8510p with Vista business. Recenly it shows a BSOD on shutdown. The Mem dump says "no more system PTEs" caused by ntkrnlpa.exe. This also happens in safe mode. I changed the Registry value of SystemPages to maximum. Still no Good. If I reduce the RAM to only 1G, it shuts down OK The laptop has 2 slots. This is what happens: 1G no BSOD

Absurd alledged disk writes when running backup by Lieutenant Scott
I wanted to see how fast I was backing up to my USB portable drive using EaseUs backup, so I looked in the task manager, see: http://www.hucker.plus.com/temp/backup.jpg It appears to have written 2.6TB in a few minutes. I know it hasn't, it's only a 500GB drive. It claims to be writing about 10GB per second which would finish the backup in 50 seconds, but it takes a few hours. Any ideas...

Vista won't shutdown by Otis
I have windows vista home premium edition. Recently, and I am guessing after an update that was automatically downloaded, I can no longer shutdown without manually shutting it down. When I click the icon to shutdown it goes to the screen that says windows is shutting down but never does, even after several hours. I haven't added any drivers or peripherals. Any ideas?

Workarounds for viewing FF on an extra large monitor by Mint
My son-in-law is a gamer and he is using Vista with a large monitor. I can't view an open FF window properly without sitting back about 10 feet. :-) Is there a way to get a full size open window to be a proportion of the screen size? I hope that made sense.

computer freeze by justenuff
So, my computer w/ Vista (came loaded) has froze up 13 times in the past three days that I have had it. I'm not using it for games, just several, regular applications. When it freezes, I can't ctrl+alt+del to get the taskbar. The mouse also freezes, so I can't get to the taskbar to activate task manager either. I think I ran across something that concerns a Windows auto repair problems...

Scheduled tasks delayed in W2008 SP2 by Verky
Hi, I have some scheduled tasks in my W2008 server SP2. Last day, two of them started half hour late. I don't find any log that tells me why windows didn't start these tasks at the right time. I've found this bug in Windows 2008 SP2 Task Scheduler (http:// support.microsoft.com/kb/982341/en-us?fr=1) but I don't have any delayed task checked.

regedit by dido22
hello, I am in serious danger of having to make a minor change to the registry, and am a bit nervous. I know that there is 'regedit' and I know how to start it. I will read some on-line articles 1st. Are there any 3rd-party progs which might be safer / easier to use ? Thanks

Vista Defragmenter and ReadyBoost drive by Derek
Hi, I noticed something funny on my laptop last night. I have a 2GB SD card which I use for Vista Readboost. My laptop is scheduled to perform the Vista Defragmenter at 22:00 each Sunday.

I'm using eSATA drives store images (I'm a photographer) and swap drives according to client. I'm running Vista64 with lots of RAM. Problem is that the file transfer progress bar will show that data transfer is complete when in reality it's still being transferred from the cache to the target drive. If I remove the drive I risk interrupting the transfer and get corrupted files. I currently...
