When I navigate to All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - System Restore, (and then click OK, Yes, I really do want to run this) I get the following error: blockquoteThere was an unexpected Error:

I've updated DirectX in Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit. After that all the sidebar gadgets started to display incorrectly. There are now some small problems with other applications, but problems with the sidebar are so serious that I couldn't use it at all. After the problem appeared I updated and re-installed my graphics card drivers (GeForce7400Go) and installed SP1. No any effect. What...

Hi all, I just wanted to let everyone know, that after several various attempts to fix my computer, one thing finally worked. I had Norton Antivirus and using a suggestion given in this forum, I uninstalled it and downloaded another program. It took care of it. So, if you have Norton and have the same problem of your computer restarting from a bluescreen error, this may be causing it. Although...

Just wondering if anyone can shed a little light on this subject. Started getting bluescreens a little while ago, machine is only 3 months old and have had issues from the start. First had to find patch so I could use my USB stuff...printer, mp3 player, external HD. Everythings happy at this point. Then outta the blue, BAM, bluescreens start to appear. ("Bad Pool Caller") Random at first...

Hi - I have Dell Inspiron 9400 with Vista Basic. My computer is having consistent problem with random reboots, problems shutting down or restarting and "Windows recovering from unexpected shutdowns". I tried to copy the error but apparently lost the text. Will cut and paste next time occurs.

I hope I can explain this but for some reason even when I correct the font size, the type on webpages is very small. Additionally, most webpages seem to be centered on the screen, like the content of the page is minimized on the screen. It doesn't happen for all pages. I have searched for fixes to this issue without success- if anyone knows how to correct this I would be ecstatic.

Task Scheduler wakes the machine from sleep to run the scheduled task. The task starts, but the machine goes back to sleep within a minute leaving the task partially complete. Is there any way to add commands to the task that will disable sleep mode while the task is running, then enable it when the task completes. I have tried the powercfg command to set the sleep time to 'never' (0) then...

Is Stopzilla of any use with Vista Home Premium ?? Drew

Hello I'm running Vista Business. The following 3 processes are running my CPU to 100% use. It's laptop P-M 1.7Ghz. SearchFilterHost.exe SearchProtocolHost.exe SearchIndexer.exe I realise this is got to do with indexing searches, but how do i turn that off (surely MS let you turn it off)... Annoying the hell outta me having fans run fulltime and surely cannot be good for the CPU.

I have a file that I tried to delete. When attempting to delete, I receive a message saying the file name is to large. I moved the file to the recycle bin and ran the free up disk space and received the same message. I also tried to rename the file...no can do. How can I detel the file?

Greetings :) How do you force the taskar and the Windows Sidebar to remain transparent when you have a window maximized on the desktop? Thanks :)

My Windows Vista Event Viewer used to log all logon and logoff events, and I could audit all user account activities. But recently it just logs the logon event for user accounts and doesn't show any logoff event. I know how to turn on and off the auditing feature in Windows XP. But I can't find same thing in Windows Vista. I will appreciate if someone helps me.

I had trouble with SP1 install and I got some blue-screens, (due to a bad driver). The p.c. is running now, but USB's don't work properly. So in the DOS boot up screen after a blue-screen dump, one option says put in original Windows disk and choose 'repair'. My question is that the original windows disk doesn't have SP1 files, so how does it do a repair? Does it go back to original files,...

Does anybody out there know if there's a free antivirus app that works with Vista? My Norton subscription ran out and don't think Norton is worth what Symantec charges. I know Computer Associates had a very good app for winxp, can't seem to find the same for Vista. Any help is greatl appreciated. thx PC
