registry cleaner for 64 bit by Mister Scary
Such software does not exist, and it makes me angry. When I upgrade to Vista it will be to make the leap to 64 bit. But I will not do so if what I consider essential software does not exist to support the operating system.

Delay with check disk dialog by ofn01
When I try to use the check disk dialog (right clicking a drive/properties/tools/error checking) the UAC dialog comes up - to which I click OK, but the CHeck Disk box itself (the one with the two checkboxes) hangs for about 10-20 seconds & won't register mouse clicks to buttons or the checkboxes? It does not say (not responding) in the titlebar - simply hangs. Any idea what causes this?

wmiprvse.exe problem in Vista Business by Kent
Okay, I have Windows Vista Business edition, and a couple weeks ago, I've been having a problem with this process (WmiPrvSE.EXE - which I know is a core process for Windows, and is not recommended that I disable it) taking up a rather large portion of my CPU. It usually hovers around 25% usage, which is quite a significant hit to performance on my system (nothing fancy here), especially...

This is a bit of a showstopper by Steve Thackery[_2_]
The link talks about Shadow Copies, not Restore Points. Nice one, DrTeeth. But the Vista Restore Point functionality uses Shadow Copy, doesn't it? Unlike XP and earlier. SteveT

Do I have to do a complete new install? (new mobo) by Kris[_5_]
Present mobo has P35 ICH9R New mobo Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P has P45 ICH10R I had been assuming that I would have to do a full new install, but it just occurred to me to ask if I could get away with a Repair, and would it ask me for the floppy disk with the new drivers as the full install does?
