startup for 4 seconds shut off etc. etc. Anybody got any ideas?
Typically I have to pull the plug and replug to get started again.

Windows Vista Sound Scheme by
Jaimz
Here's a challenge for all you whizzkids!!
Although the built in speakers in my laptop work perfectly - music, dvds,
videos, etc. - my Vista default sound scheme has stopped working. It was
working previously and I am at a loss to understand why it has stopped. I
have checked that the speakers are not muted, ensured that the levels are
properly set, checked that I have the most up to date...

Computer havok, help? by
bloodstar23
So my computer has decided to pretty much host an all out war against me.
I've tried every troubleshooting method, debugging, scanning, everything I
could think of and nothing is working. The computer just randomly decides it
wants to shut down whenever I'm trying to run like two or more active
graphics programs, such as trying to run a game and a flash at the same time,
multiple flash...

Strange desktop problem by
Joe321
Sorry to sound ignorant, but I don't know much about computers. A few
days ago, I opened my laptop to find that my desktop was just a black
screen with the window which would normally come up when you click my
computer, displaying only certain things on my hard drive. after about
20 minutes of searching, I found a way to connect to the internet to
search for a solution which I have yet to find....

Bluescreen and some problems by
antonisg1
I installed Vista Ultimate x64 2 days ago and I'm getting frequent
bluescreens with a message that says something like: "a program
attempted to write on read-only memory" and "try to turn cacheing or
shadowing off"... Anyone has an idea on this? I'm also getting frequent
crashes on Firefox 3 and PES 2009. I just get a message that they
stopped working. Are these connected in any way?
Thanks..

Problem with "Hijack This" by
jcgriff2[_2_]
If Vista x64, keep in mind that portions of the HJT log showing
"missing" \system32 files is primarily smoke and mirrors. x86 apps like
HJT are re-directed to the x86 \syswow64 when seeking the x64 \system32.
It doesn't know this. x86 HJT s/b pointed toward \sysnative - the
virtualized \system32 during x86 app execution.

Odd list of unused file extensions by
kmichaelf
Running CCleaner on the registry it picked up a series of unused file
extensions. I understand that these can be left over from uninstalled
programs. But this list looked off because it appears to be portions of a
text section. For example:
Unused File Extension # HKCR\#
Unused File Extension 5469 HKCR\5469
Unused File Extension added HKCR\added
Unused File Extension after HKCR\after

How do you Log off another user? by
CooSer
I keep several different profiles on my computer so that everyone in the
family has there own email and settings. Although I am always trying to
get my kids to close all programs and log off, often I find that they
