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.

Something in my HP desktop is trying to write on this partition. I have had
this problem since day one on a new computer. I have an external drive for
backup installed. This works well.
How do I stop this warning, or better yet, stop whatever is cauing the
problem? I can not figure out how to delete the unneeded files or even find
out which ones they are.

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?

HELP :vista hiberate button gone by
may
Hey guys,
A couple days back, Windows did an update for me like normal days, but after
that, my hibernate button was gone from my vista. There in the drop down box
was only Sleep and Shut Down. I found Hibernate useful as i can just shut it
down and know that my programs are still there when I turn it back on. Please
can anyone tell me how to get my Hibernate button back on my drop down box??...

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.

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

Duplicate folders in C:\Users\ by
Nigel Molesworth
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?
On a similar subject, is there any way to stop programs from creating
sub-folders in MY documents folder?

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.

Only thing I don't like is.... it seems Vista did away with password in
