Blue circle of doom by Steve St Denis
I have Vista Home Premium on my computer and from time to time I try and do something and the little blue circle that tells you that vista is doing something will come up and just keep going and going God only knows what Vista is doing and why it's locking up and the only way to stop it is to manually press my power button and dump my computer. Why is it doing this. Steve

AppData\local\temp\yayxuogd.dll by WOGGIE
I keep getting an error message (RunDLL) was stating that the modul was not found. The error message appears every time I log-on to my computer. The dll-file should have been in the C-drive and I have attempted to correct this without success. Does anyone have any experience with this kind of error message?

Vista 64 slooow application launch by CADdaddy
After the SP1 install now all application launches (MS Outlook, browsers, all applications) can take 5-20 seconds to launch, which is absolutely nutty! If I cycle superfetch from 3 to 0 and back to 3 the applications will open quick (normal) for a little bit and then it regresses back to 20 second delays. -- CADdaddy

Windows Impossible Transfer by steve907
I am trying to transfer apps and data from an old XP desktop to a new Vista Business laptop. I have now tried to transfer 11 times. It hangs, it loses its connections, it "fails" (no other information given), it dies on one machine while the other machine thinks it's still going. It does everything but transfer. What part of that could we call "easy"? What a smell pile of doo doo this...

My main documents, contacts, videos (...) folders are on a totally separate drive, relocated using the Location tab on the folder Properties. It has been working fine for a year or more, but suddenly I keep getting duplicate folders in C:\Users\Nigel\ Any way to stop this?

No clue as to Disk Defragmenter status by Brandon Taylor
I remember that in previous versions of Windows all the way up to Windows XP, the Disk Defragmenter would tell me exactly how much of the defragmentation process was complete. Now, I find that Windows Vista tells me absolutely nothing about what Disk Defragmenter is doing, apart from the fact that the utility is in fact running. My question is, why would Microsoft throw out such a useful...

Memory filling up too fast? by ZeonStar
Hey all, Hope I am posting this in the right section and hope I can get some feedback. I'm not even sure if this is a windows problem, but it is a good place to start. See my system info for my system specs but the main point of this post is regarding my RAM. This system is the first time I've had 4 GBs of ram, and also the first time I'm using a 64-bit OS.
