I'm trying to get 8 GB to run stable with this motherboard and so far it's not working. When Kingston branded RAM would not work I ordered the exact 2 GB Crucial RAM recommended on the Intel's support site and it's not much better. As soon as I engage in any intensive activity (like downloading and installing Vista updates) the computer will reboot. Intel tech support escalated the issue and...

I get 0x080070570 when I try to either copy or transfer a file from several hard drives. It affects ALL files and is getting to be a pain. It does not stop the files from working, but just stops the transfer to another drive. I have 5 drives in all and the other 3 are fine. There is only Vista on the system and I want to transfer files that I wish to keep and wipe the rest with a fresh...

Hello! I have a big problem. Everytime I put my laptop in Idle mode, the screen doesn't come back when I restart activity. I usually press the power button once to go Idle and once again to restore it; but it seems that my screen doesn't respond. what can i do? I've already changed the configuration so my laptop doesn't go Idle again... but this is not what i want.

David;17586 Wrote: You may have some processes running in the background that Windows is recognizing as activity on the user's part. Check to see what you have running. Absolutely true! I had exactly the same problem and decided to see what was running in background. For me it was the software for the Logitech Harmony Remote. Run "msconfig", click on the "Startup" tab and unheck ...

By now it should be obvious that, under the Vista operating system, I have Home Premium, there is a severe overall, general "has stopped working" problem. Thus far I've experienced: "Internet Explorer has stopped working" "Windows Explorer has stopped working" "Word has stopped working" "Sherlock Holmes Nemesis (Adventure Company) has stopped working" "Outlook has stopped working"

My backup drive D in Windows Vista is full up and I can't seem to be able to empty it or allocate more space to it. It only has 9.99GB of space allocated to it and my computer is now complaining that it can't backup. Does anyone know how to allocate more space to it, or should I just delete everything on it?

I downloaded a freeware incinerator and chose to shred the free space on C in order to get rid of all the files that had been deleted, but were still on the HD waiting to be overwritten. Since then I show practically no space left on C, even thou before I used the incinerator only about 1/3 of the drive was used. Does anyone know what I can do to recover this space? -- PBF

How do I log on as Administrator?

After I have logged into my account, I have my statup entries load fine. After AVG and MSN etc have loaded, the HDD activity seems to be constant for 2-3 minutes afterwards. During this time, if I look at the Reliability and Performance Monitor for Disk, I see loads of files randomly on there, like system files, some program files like Office and the odd document I have. The IO priority is...

Hello everybody I am a very new user of vista. I have been xp for a while though :). I have successfully installed the sp1 and there are no serious problem so far. However a serious problem is rising:I hoped SP1 solved it but it did not. Soon after I login the disk on my laptop is intensively used: I succeded in identifying the process which causes the problem and is...

I ran an .exe file in order to remove that little blue line at the bottom that is supposedly a "hidden" taskbar, and now I can't seem to undo it. When I load windows the taskbar is there, but without the clock and the system tray icon'd programs. Then I run the hidetaskbar.exe and it goes away completely which is great, but how do I access the system tray programs? In particular, I'm having...

Hi, I noticed that it takes about 40 seconds to open a 25KB of file like xls or doc under vista and it get worst if user will open a large document file. Does anyone have experience this problem? Any fix? Basically the OS is a fresh install of Vista SP1 enterprise with Office 2003 (some office 2007 with the same problem). No policy applied and no security (AV & firewall) applied yet. We use...

Recently, I went to the start menu to search for a file, and found (or rather, did not find...) that 'search' had gone missing from the menu. I can still use it from specific pages, such as My Documents, but not as a general option. Any suggestions? Secondly, Internet Explorer has an annoying habit of locking up, then giving me the option of exiting the program or restarting... again, any...

Rt click on Vista Ultimate 64 is so slow it is now almost unusable. I am considering a whole reinstall because of it. This affects rt click on files and folders mainly and is often followed by Explorer needing to restart. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Hey I've got a Dell Inspiron 1420 laptop with Vista. When I sign on from my start-up screen the screen will flash to the desktop like normal, then it will suddenly flash black, then back to the desktop, then it will flash black, then back to the desktop. So it flashes black usually two or three times, and is just really annoying. Anyone have any ideas as of why it does it, or possibly how to...

I have no picture on my desktop. It's just a plain white screen. Also I can't print anything.

Hi Guys, This is my first post on this forum so I apologize if its in the wrong section, I assumed its performance related so here I go. I have just purchased a Netgear DG834G v4 with the latest firmware and was shocked when I ran the Microsoft internet connectivity evaluation tool and it failed the "TCP high performance test" I did have auto-tuning=highlyrestricted and ECN=enabled, RSS side...

Never Re-Activate After Installation If you have to reinstall Windows XP you normally will have to reactivate too. Well not anymore. Just copy wpa.dbl after you activated the first time. It is located in the WINDOWS\system32 folder. Now if you reinstall Windows XP just copy the file back and you're up and running again. Found this little snippet on the net what is the corresponding Vista...
