downloaded and installed vista SP 1 for vista Ultimate (64), upon restarting system, goes to system dump screen (blue screen) while loading windows. Can only start in safe mode, used system restore to fix. Tried reinstalling, same problem. Please help

Microsoft Windows Mail is not high-dpi aware on Vista, and i can't disable scaling because "Compatibility modes cannot be set on this program because it is part of this version of Windows." That's not quite true, as i'm sure it was written for a previous version of Windows. So if you could please make it high-dpi aware, and i don't have to keep reading fuzzy text, that would be great.

i have found a program that will cause all explorer windows (desktop, taskbar, start menu, Alt+Tab) to become graphically corrupt. The problem only happens with "Aero" enabled, and you're running in non-96 dpi. It's impressive that a glorified text editor program, running as a standard user, can corrupt Explorer. Obviously the program is doing something bad - but it should not be able to...

If i increase my dpi to anything above 96 dpi (and reboot) i will get graphical corruption after a few minutes. The corruption is limited to "glass" areas. For example the start menu may appear as a sheet of pure glass. Buttons on the taskbar, could appear all mached together. The Alt+Tab panel won't paint itself. Ossasionally an entire window's client area will be transparent, rather than...

At random times while I am on my computer, (usually when i am on the internet or installing or running programs) my computer will freeze for about 10 seconds, then the screen goes white or black with a small colorful box (looks like a colored bar code) on the screen and it won't let me do anything, no control of mouse or keys. I then shut down using the power button and when i press it again...

Each time I click on something, a link from my email or one of my bookmarks, to go to a web page, whether in Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer, I get an error message indicating Windows Cannot Find then shows the web page. Although I keep getting this error message, the web page/site does immediately pop up right after the error message. When I close the web browser, the message is...

I recently have noticed that all the fonts are multi colored and have a shadow effect. I would like to know how to change it back so that everything is in black.I Thanks for any feedback on this problem.... It sounds weird but then again it is ..... Thanks in advance Brucen

Dear All, When I click "Generate a system health report", I get the following error: "An error occured while attempting to generate the report. The system cannot find the path specified" I installed SP1 yesterday. Today is the first time I got this message.

Installed SP1, now when I right click on any folder in windows explorer, the search option is missing from the context menu? Tried all my drives and a bunch of different folders, still no search. I enabled Windows Search service again, had it disabled since it eats to many resources, still no search. Pre-SP1 of course did not do this.

About once a week my screen resolution seems to be changing--I think on its own. I do have small kids that sometimes touch the keyboard, so that might have something to do with it, but I don't think so. I say its the resolution, but I am not even sure of that. When it happens the icons get bigger--and webpages font sizes become too big for a page. I have tried manually adjusting the screen...

I've read that SP1 has been made available through Windows Update but when I go there it does not show as available. Running Vista Ultimate 32 on my computer, full retail. Has it only been rolled out to some users at this point? Bob

I have tried EVERY method of correcting this error that I have seen and have been unsuccessful. I have tried ALL of the following: chkdsk /f "fsutil resource setautoreset true C:\" sfc /scannow

I have a serious problem where my explorer.exe restarts every time I open a folder (doesn't matter what folder.) Sometimes it also doesn't restart, it is just gone. After hours on google I found that this is a quite common problem, but I can't find the solution. I do NOT want to reinstall Vista (I have a dutch windows Vista Home Premium 32bit) I am NOT talking about internet explorer but...

Hello: Perhaps someone can help me with this annoyance: I am running Vista with SP1 on an HP laptop. Whenever the system starts, after windows loads, a blank window opens for a fraction of a second and then closes. This happens so fast that I can't read the title bar of the window before it closes again. I have run Spybot S&D and have done a virus scan with Norton 360, both of

The title is pretty self-explanatory - is there a way of putting the Search button back into the Start Menu after SP1 removed it. Bob,

When I install SP1 it does it thing and tells me to restart. It then configurs. It gets to 98 percent, then it shows shutting down. When it restarts as soon as windows starts to load, I get a black screen saying the file acpi.sys is missing of corrupt. I can use the windows disk to repair it. But the update is not installed. I have tried four diffrent times with the same result. I even...

I thought I'd use disc cleanup to clear up some space on my main hard drive, but under "Temporary Files" it lists the size as being 44.5 GB. What's included in temp files, and doesn't 44.5 GB seem like a lot? Will this delete anything important like personal or program files? Thanks

This question has been asked by many people, but somehow no solutions have been offered. It's about the screensaver not working anymore. My os is home premium 32 bit. I checked the Preview which is working, I checked the settings which is 5 min., and I checked the power settings which is 15 min.on battery and 30 min. on plug-in. I have it on Performance Setting. My laptop is 4 months old. I have...

The circle (that used to be the hourglass) just keeps popping up near my cursor, even when I'm not doing anything, and it's very annoying. Can anyone tell me what the problem might be? thanks!!
