Vista Home Premium. I have a lot of errors and warings in my event logs. where can I get help with this?

just recently, my ibm lenovo 3000 became slugginsh. Resource Monitor shows explorer is consuming a lot of CPU, above 50% (even in safe mode, although in safemode system seems to run normally). ran anti virus and no virus detected. in safe mode system ran normally. ran in diagnostic mode which has fewer servies running than the safe mode and the cpu just absolutely crawled. so it seems that it's...

It says it can't repair the errors - no biggie. But now the utility won't stop running. Whether I restart within the utility or do a system restore to an earlier point in time, it just won't stop!!! GRRRRRRRRR Any suggestions? -- Coloradolime

Ok, I am going crazy trying to figure this out. I have contacted microsoft and HP with no help from them at all! First, i get an update from microsoft windows update software that failes. What is this? I looked it up and it seems a lot of people have trouble with this update. It says to clean up the machine and run again, but I can't seem to find where I run it again? and I keep getting this...

Hello all, I first I don't know if this is the thread I put this in, but I apologize if it isn't. Well I built a computer about a month ago and I just really noticed my download speed hasn't been the same since I made the move from XP to Vista Home Premium 64-bit. I have DSL and usally my download speeds were 160kb/s. Now on Vista the speed has dramatilcy gone down to around 40kb/s. I did a...

I know this gets discussed frequently, and I have looked over a ton of older posts. But cannot find enough good info to apply to this laptop. My teenager's laptop, a Toshiba Satellite series with Vista Home, big HD, 2 Gig RAM, usual stuff, runs extremely slowly. It is slow to boot, slow to open any programs, slow to respond to any mouse action. Overall very slow. I have another Vista...

I'm wondering if the list of fonts one sees in an application such as Thunderbird can be re-ordered so the ones you use frequently can be put at the top of the list. MS Word does this for you, but can it be done for the OS?

Hoping someone can help out. Been having an issue where programs will randomly stop responding. First stop: Inspect Pagefile.sys. However, even though the OS is on C:, I can't locate a c:\pagefile.sys file. Some background: 1. Yes, hidden files are set to show in Folder Options. 2. Did a search for the file (including non-indexed locations) and can't find it.

My machine currently has two IDE drives. Drive 0 is C: 80GB Drive 1 is D: and E: 80 GB I've successfully made a full backup and verify it restores just fine to the current configuration. Now, I want to replace the two IDE drives with a single SATA (320 GB) drive. Do I need to setup this new drive with three partitions and peform a full restoration without formatting or...

Is it possible, under Microsoft Vista Home Premium, to disable all the unnecessary animations, colour schemes and other things that slow down the system? If so, how?

Thanks to everyone who addressed my command line window issue... here's another one that I'm hoping is something simple that I'm just missing! When I first got my computer and I doubled-clicked "My Computer" the window would open up, and all the devices were organized according to type... For example, "Local Hard Disks," "Optical," Removeable," "Network." There would be a nice bold heading,...

Hi, First time poster, I bought a Compaq SR5413WM about 4 weeks ago. I use it for Voip based applications, light browsing and some printing. Everytime I open IE7 the cpu maxes out at 100% and then bounces up and down erractically, it also happens with other applications such as windows explorer. I have a AMD LE-1640 2.7 ghz processor, 2 gb ram and Vista home premium 32 bit. I have no idea why it...

This is a problem I've had since I bought the pc in April '08. I'll start with the specs... HP Pavilion m9200t Preloaded with Vista Home 64-bit Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4ghz nVidia GeForce 8600 GT 512mb Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer 750gb Seagate SATA HD 6gb RAM

Hello I hope you can help me with an issue : My PC is Intel Core2 Quad CPU Q9450 2.66GHz windows Vista Ultimate 32 bits 8,00GB ram.

OK, this is probably a very dumb question with a very easy answer but I'm baffled. I'm running Windows Vista and I've only had the computer about a month. I had my e-mail icon on the task bar so all I had to do was click it and it brought up my e-mail. I guess this is the same as the Quick Launch menu. Now I've lost my icon and there are two little arrows. If I click on the arrows a...

This is the situation as it is now: Vista x64 business is installed on a RAID 0 of 2 320 GB disks. This is controlled by the onboard RAIDcontroller of my motherboard and so Vista sees it as a 640 GB harddisk. So far so good. I bought 2 1TB disks and I want to do the following: Both disks should have a 200 GB partition for windows and all programs and they should be mirrors of each other. So...

Hello, i have a laptop ~ 5 months old that I use almost entirely for the internet. About 3 weeks ago, using IE, I noticed web pages stared loading poorly, with many errors. Photos would only half load. The problem got progressively worse. Now, I am unable to download any new files...windows update, firefox, spyware detectors, anything. They download ok, but when I try to install I get...

I think I can post this in all insult. :sleepy: *ReadyBoost do:* ReadyBoost take much of your computer's energy. It creates problems for the normal driving. And for the games. Some are experiencing high load on hard drive as if there running a scanned or index. The old games (Xp and below) will not tolerate that ReadyBoost start to use energy to get things to run while.

Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to maintain the desktop settings after a user has logged out? For example, I would like to create one Standard account in Vista so many users can log in with that account. This means if one user changes these settings the origian settings are maintained when they log off. So the next Standard user must see the ORIGINAL settings.
