I seem to be having the same problem a lot of people have on here with the inability to change the desktop background, just a blank screen no matter what I select in the personalization window. Sorry to bring up the same problem yet again, but I downloaded the wallpaper enabler reg key, and when I select merge, it asks me what program I want to use to open the file. Help please? -- ashbymh

When I try to restart my computer after upgrading my count down meter stops responding at 26 seconds. I will then power off and wait for 50 seconds and restart my computer. Vista Home Premium is my operating system. This started to happen when I installed an external Hard Drive as a back up Disk onto my computer in order to have Windows do a auto back up every week. I do not get any error...

Amidst all of the naysayers and whiners, I cast one vote in favor of VISTA which is much superior to any prior MS OS in terms of improved graphics and adaptability to more complex programs. The main problem with this forum is that too many people have just enough knowledge to get themselves into a jam and not enough smarts to get out. Looking backwards at XP will avail you nothing but a stiff...

I am using Vista Home Premium 32-bit. I have been dutifully backing up all my data files every week using the Backup and Restore console. All of a sudden, the hard drive gives out on my laptop. The company sends me a replacement, which I install. The Vista OS is restored automatically via the OEM (Gateway), so I figure all I need to do I reinstall my apps and recover my data. Since I...

I've had my computer for about two months now. It came with Windows Vista. I installed Norton antivirus on it right away. For the past month it's been crashing almost every other day. I have no idea what is going on. I asked a Dell tech and they said to run startup repair, but I'm still having problems. Thanks!

Windows Update seems to increasingly disrupt the functioning of a machine. It is now regularly the case that the network capability on both Vista and XP stops functioning correctly when an update download is in progress. I have also just finished reconfiguring a multi screen machine. Why was this necessary, because after a Windows update (Vista) the second screen was disabled which confused...
