Many people I see are having the problem in regards to either a slow boot up, or windows is slow to load Programs. I myself have 4GB of ram, and I am using a SATA RAID 0 config. This can result in heavy fragmentation and a slow system- especially after recording tv on MCE. Deframenting speeds up the system dramatically, BUT using the default defragmentation doesn't defrag files bigger than 64MB.

Thanks for being here to assist, and I hope this is the correct group. I've been running XP Pro for quie some time and recently installed Vista using Partition Magic and have also installed Vista BootPro. I planned a full migration of all of my data from XP today but cannot boot into XP for some reason. I was going to export or save vital data from XP, so this is quite a bummer. I cannot...

Hi Everyone, I hope someone can help me with this problem I've been having. Up until November last year I had F-Secure virus protection on my computer and I changed it to K7TotalSecurity. I had some problems with K7 so then I tried Norton, but Norton gave me heaps of trouble and when I wanted to remove it I found it very difficult to get rid of. I eventually did remove it and installed...

I am running Vista Home Premium on a new desktop with Intel, 3gb ram and a 500gb drive. Everything seems fine except for when I go to print, it seems to take a long time for the print window to come up (15-20 seconds). Is there any know reason for this? Or a fix? -- Have A Great Day! Bill Meyer

While doing day to day activities, my computer will slow down to unusable speeds, for about 20 seconds, then go back to normal performance. My drivers are up to date, and Windows Update offers no more updates available. Windows Vista - Home Basic Intel(R) Celeron(R) D CPU 3.46GHz 1.50GB RAM NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT

I get the message that Windows\system32 is disabled. I either have something set incorrectly or a problem file --help?? -- Thanx Chas

Hello everyone. Thank you in advance for your replies. I just got this a message this morning that I cannot get rid of, and I do not know what to make of it. Before getting this message, and while the computer was shut down, I changed my keyboard and that was the only change I did. However, because the computer was off and because the keyboard is a wireless usb enabled mouse + keyboard combo,...

I'm trying to create a restore point in 32 bit Vista Home Premium using a VBScript. I can create a Restore Point the ordinary way, but using a script generates 0x80041013 Provider Load Failure. Can anyone tell me the dependencies of wscript? afaik I have the necessary services running. wbem folder is in the path environment variable.

For a change I decided to give this os (Vista Home Premium 64bit SP1) a chance and not curse the system and reboot, but try to diagnose the problem. Well the problem is as it is stated in the title. I can run all desktop items, but for some reason nothing in start menu works. Everything was working fine until one 3rd party application crashed to desktop 3 times in about 1,5 hours. (Not)...

I believe my computer was affected by some virus. Somehow program called 'mirc.exe' has been installed. I tried to unistall it, however problem exists. Every time after turning on my computer, the winsow pops -up with the message: COULD NOT LOAD OR RUN 'C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\SETUP\DRONA\MIRC.EXE' SPECIFIED IN THE REGISTRY. MAKE SURE FILE EXISTS ON YOUR COMPUTER OR REMOVE THE REFERENCE TO IT IN...

This is my second time around testing Vista ultimate 64 bit and after much testing I cannot believe what a heap of absolute rubbish this OS is. How many years did it take Microsoft to develop this junk? I have the latest drivers/software/ quad core intel 6700 CPU with a modern motherboard and running 8GB of RAM. Yeah....I anticipate that you are all screaming and tearing your hair out and...

I hope this is the correct group for this question. I've searched the groups for a solution; a couple of posts were very similar to my issue, but unfortunately not exactly. I have a dual-boot box. XP installed first; Partition Magic to create smaller partition for Vista, and Vista BootPro installed as well. I primarily use XP and that is where all of my data currently lives. I can no longer...

I'm running a pretty new laptop: Vista Home Premium on a Core 2 Duo (1.83 GHz, 2 MB L2 cache, 667 FSB) with 3GB RAM. When I download files at speeds of about 100 kb/sec or above (in Firefox, uTorrent, Miro, etc), my computer goes noticeably slower overall. There's significant delay when I move the mouse around the screen and such. This doesn't always happen, at least not on a fresh reboot,...

In Advanced Tools under Performance Information and Tools, there is a list of performance issues. If I click "remove from list" in the issue window after clicking an issue, is it possible to get issues to return to the list or can I see them in some other place?
