I updated my monitor to a 22" Samsung and web pages are very tiny (about 1/q and print is light. I have another computer using XP with a 22" and everything is fine. Any suggestions? -- watchman

I'm new here so hello everyone. I've done the usual things, searched the forum for relevant threads and tried to get the info I need. Here's the problem: A friend, who is not so IT literate, asked me to tune-up his laptop as it was running slow and crashing. Did the usual (disk and registry clean up, etc.). Used VISTA defrag (manual) which was still running after 4 hours. Tried several free...

I am becoming frustrated. I have over 800 personal files on my PC, some of which are updated nearly every day, about 10 on average. Each day I run an Incremental Backup (Roxio's Backup MyPC). I now find that on some days most of the files on Drive 'C' have had the "File is ready for archiving" attribute set 'ON', the letter 'A' is displayed. This means that my incremental Backup covers over 800...

Ok so heres the funny deal: I had my Pc running on XP (I have 3 HDDs, and I have XP installed in 2 of them one is my Backup image *no dual XP booting here* ) and decided to install Vista, I have a ton of partitions, having main XP in my bigger HD, and installed Vista in another partition inside that same HDD. Turns out that when I installed Vista for dual booting and things happened like...

Memory dump problems in WindowsXP or Vista. How to fix the Memory dump (Blue Screen) After opening the Control Panel ( Control Panel Access Crash problem ). You have to understand that most Memory dumps occur, when there is a driver that is not compatible with the Windows XP or Vista OS. So make sure your computers drivers, hardware and software are compatible with the OS you are trying either...

Hello. This is not a joke:)In normal circumstances i would be happy,but in my case the whole os is insanelly speeded up.The minute in system clocks is like 4 seconds in normal time. The video and music playbacks are also speeded up,so video goes speeded like when the fastforwarding option were selected which surelly isnt. The text editor pointer is flashing maybe even 10 times faster...

Hi, I have been having this problem for a number of weeks, and it started about the second day after installing Vista. My UAC prompt takes between 10 and 15 seconds to display. I have turned off the change to secure desktop, but it made no difference. I have also noticed (I do not know if this is connected) that when I want to preview an image it takes the same amount of time for the viewer to...

I'm running Windows Vista on a Toshiba Satellite laptop. Without any additions of program material to the computer, it shows a steadily dropping amount of space on the disk that remains available. In a three week perod with doing nothing other than using the internet and reading e-mails, available space on the disk dropped by 5 GB. The disk has been cleaned, internet options deleted and the...

Whenever I boots the Computer, "Windows Welocme Center Stopped Working" error message appears!!! I have already tried disbaling the same from the Startup bu no vail. Any body know how to resolve this issue. ..................... Please reply soonnnn.......................

I haven't been able to find a post that describes my problem, and it's a strange one. I've got a problem with disk READS on one of my hard drives in Vista. It popped up seemingly out of nowhere. My system drive is on a separate hard drive and it seems unaffected. My D: drive (data drive) is where the problem lies. Folder-to-folder copies are taking about 4 minutes for a 700 MB file.

Hi, Brand new to Vista - so far not so hot. At first I had no sound from rear jack - stereo configuation Uninstalled and reinstalled Realtek drivers (downloaded from Realtek) Now stereo out from rear jack works but no sound from headphones. Aaarrrggghhh - Bill Gates

When I try to install the Windows updates, I get the error message "Code 800700CB" and am unable to install the updates. I am the administrator of the account. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a few months old DELL, with Vista Home Premium software, Intel Quad Q660, 2.4 GHZ, 3 GB Ram.

Hi, when using the "System Tools" backup utility I received this message: "The backup did not complete successfully. An error occurred. The following information might help you resolved the error: The system cannot find the file specified. (0x80070002)" I've contacted Dell Support about this and all I was offered was to do a restore which I tried and got the very same error on all previous...

My screen saver doesn't work, I didn't do anything to prompt it to not work, I do not use any mouse other than my touch pad. I use Windows Vista Home Premium on a Dell Laptop. I have tried to read other people's posts and either can't understand them or they don't apply to me. I can't even preview the screen savers. Please help. Thanks!

I recently added 2GB of memory to my P4P800 for a total of 4GB, and immediately began experiencing visible performance problems most noticeably in games. After much troubleshooting, I discovered that setting Maximum Memory in System Configuration (msconfig.exe) to 3300MB (I didn't test every 1MB below the limit, by the way), down from the limit of 3328 (using 1 or 2MB less than this still...

Hi all, I am new to this forum, so bare with me if this has already been discussed... When I first start my computer (Vista Ultimate x64), on 4GB of RAM, the system uses about ~36%. This gradually increases to ~40% later on. The problem is, when I leave the computer on for extended periods of time (a few days), this "idle" RAM usage goes up dramatically, to 60+ and sometimes 70+ %, with VERY...
