So I recently bought an alienware m9750 laptop, of course I got 4gigs of ram, alienware didnt offer a 64 bit OS so I bought vista home premium 64 bit, While the 32 bit OS was on there it showed 2.8 gigs of RAM, didnt think too much of it because somebody told me 32 bit OSs maxed out at 3 gigs, but now after installing the 64 bit OS it's still only showing and using 2.8 gigs of RAM. Now in...

I was late in activating my copy of Vista Ultimate, it went into RFM and now that it's activated, it still won't come out of RFM, I even installed SP1 in hopes that would bring it back. What else do I need to do to get my desktop and functionally back, this program cost me to much money for it to be so screwed up like it is. Can someone please offer me advise on how to get my computer out of...

I keep having the problem of MS Outlook not responding, or clicking on a link in an email and nothing happening, or clicking on any way to get into explorer either from a desktop or task bar icon, etc. If I shut down or restart it clears up for a while, but comes back soon, eventually. I have IE version 7, Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 1. (32 bit) How can I keep this from...

My System Rating seems to have a Bug. When i first got my HP Pavilion dv9000, I ran it and it updated fine. Several weeks later it reverted back to it's original score. Now, nothing is displayed there. Not even a 0, or a faded out score. Just a blank space. Any ideas? Thanks, Joel. -- joel hj60

When I first installed Vista (Home Premium), I enabled sleep mode and noticed when sleep was invoked my computer got quiet (I could hear the drive and fan going quiet) and would notice the light indicating my computer on my wireless network router would go out. That was great! However, now when I invoke sleep, I just notice the monitor going blank, that's it. Any ideas would welcome. ...

Sometimes when I open a submenu of the start menu (e.g. Programs) the empty menu frame pops up almost instantly, but then there's a delay before the icons appear. At times it's as much as a second or two. It seems to be worse with the larger submenus. Once I've opened a given submenu, the next time I open it, it fills in immediately. But after a while the delay comes back. I had a...

I originally set up my system to have automatic updates, which for someone that is not very techical seemed to be the way to go. Last month an automatic update goofed up my screen and it took several attempts and hours to get it fixed. Now I am leary to do any updates. Is there a place to check if there have been problems with updates. What is the best thing to do about updates. At this...

Hello, I am running Vista SP1 fully up to date on modern hardware (Quadcore, X38 Gigabyte board) with all current drivers. Windows Explorer will freeze whenever I tried to copy a few files one after another if the total sizes approaches 1 GB in total. Even more strange is the fact that the freeze will occur even if i REBOOT the OS between each copy of a smaller size file (like 300MB each),...

I am new to Vista, and have recently purchased a new pc with vista home premium. I seem to be having intermitent problems. Say for instance I want to close a program, I cannot click directly on the Close button on the top right of the screen. I have to place my cursor above and left of the button, until it changes colour then click to close. Even scrolling down a page is giving me grief.....

Hiya, my motherboard has become quite unreliable and I was thinking of buying a new one however I can't get the same model because its no longer produced. Would my OEM license key still work on another motherboard? Thanks

So, I've looked everywhere for a solution to this, but most people seem to be having trouble waking up from sleep. My problem is that if I leave an application running overnight (ArcMap - labeling a large map) my machine goes to sleep at the scheduled time, even though it is still busy. I guess my main question is, what are the criteria for determining when the system is idle? Is it just...

I just got a new 64 bit laptop with VISTA---all of the other machine sin the house are XP. I usually run DISKCLEANER once a week and SCANDISK and DEFRAG once a month on the XP machines since we have very busy family with a lot of use. What should I be doing for the VISTA machine? Should I follow a similar schedule? I heard that VISTA doesn't need the same level of maint as XP? Please...

Dear Somebody. When I power on my PC running Vista and having a huge engine, the first approx. 30 minutes something is accessing my harddrive. It sounds as a program is constan tly reading and or writing to the drive, slowing down the entire system. I am using the avast virus protecting, but shut down what I don't need (I have no virus), the indexing I have also closed, and I am not running...

I recently built a new system and did a clean install of Vista Ultimate 64. The system has 8GB of Physical RAM (DDR2) clocked at 1098 and a E8500 clocked at 3.47 Ghz. Everything is running very stable for a few weeks now. When I look at the system report I see that Windows is setting up 16GB of Virtual Memory which seems excessive, I can't help but wonder if it wouldn't be better for me to...

I am running Windows Vista Business on my Dell Inspiron 1501. I am no longer able to check my drives for errors since after I schedule a check for the next time my computer restarts and after my computer does restart, the error checking appears to start, but automatically gets cancelled even though I do not press any key to cancel it. Can somebody please tell me why this is happening and...
