Used to, when I did disk clean up, it would let me delete "system memory dump" but now it only calculates it, but does not even offer for me to delete it. Why and how can I start to delete that again?

I use the progam Vectorworks 11.5. (CAD program) It works well on my desk top which has windows XP pro. I installed it on my new laptop which has windows vista home premium (pre installed). It worked for a few months and then stopped working. It opens using the compatability wizard but I need a more direct route to open the program. Does anyone have any suggestions?

My Vista (SP1, etc) control panel works just fine. Too well. It launches when I click on the Start button. Not every time, but more than half the time. This occurs with no correlation to mouse position or to the Start menu option actually selected. It will often launch before I click on one of the Start options.

I have a unique issue. Whenever I install software such as games or various programs, Vista will take up all 4 Gigs of my RAM, but in Task Manager - it won't show anything taking up anywhere near that much memory. When the install is finished, I usually have to reboot my PC to get it to free up the RAM. I tried using a RAM Defrag program called Memory Zipper Pro the last time it...

I used the "Backup" component (StartAccessoriesSystem ToolsBackup Status and Configuration) of Vista Basic to backup my hard drive to an external drive in case I had a faliure on my HDD. Well, I had to restore the factory settings on my machine and now I want to restore the files I backed up. My external HDD is FAT32 and the system is telling me it can't use a target that isn't formatted...

I have it set to run whether the user is logged in or not, run with the highest privileges, wake the computer to run this task, stop the task if it runs longer than 8 hours. It runs at 1am. The task wakes the computer up at 1am fine, starts the executable, then puts the computer back to sleep without waiting for the executable (a VS2005 SP1 C# program I...

my hp is 1 month old and the backup and restore pgm has been getting a catastrophic error with a code 0x8000fff when I backup to C:\. If I go to a cd it works fine. I was able to do backups up until 6 days ago. I have spent 3 days with hp and they all have different options to try but none which work. The error code seems to be used for a lot of things but I haven't found any help for...

In a new Vista setup, I am trying to arrange for backups to a 2TB network drive. The network drive is visible and can be written to and read from in Explorer. However, when trying to set up the Backup, and browse to a directory, I get the error message: ... cannot create a file when that file already exists (error 0x800700B7). When I type a non-existing directory in the hope that will be...

When I let my new PC go into sleep mode in Vista, the system is locked when I want to resume forcing me to manually turn PC off. Any suggestions? ECU Jack

Can't figure out why my computer wakes itself from sleep mode. After a while it will go back into sleep mode then wake itself again. It will continue to do this over and over without touching anything. Using Vista on a Compac Presario. Thanks, Randy

Hi, I understand compressing files to save space is not a good idea, but being an option saves from time to time your life... usually. I have some very large files from P2P applications, that were created with the compression flag, that right now can't be used at all. When trying to access them, or trying to "decompress" them, explorer.exe stops responding. No Ctrl+Alt+Del.

I have Vista software, and I would like to delete temporary internet files. I did this before, but didn't write down the directiions. Please help . . Thank you -- debarybabs

how do I turn off the not responding message and gray out. It comes on way to fast and is usually wrong. -- Howard

Last night my power went out. Every time my power fails Vista will only start up in safe mode. If I try to start it normally it just goes right into "Power Save" mode. This has happened a handful of times, however it is usually an easy fix. I would just go into safe mode and run system restore and restore my system to a previous date. This however did not work last night. I can still boot up in...
