I have an HP with Intel Cord 2 Quad 2.6. Vista is the 64bit version. The performance rating of 5.1. My problem is that there is no place on the page showing the rating to retry/update. Is this a problem with Vista Home Preimum 64-bit? -- Bob Reed

I'm getting a BSOD right when Vista gets to the login screen on startup. The system will boot to safe mode, but I have no idea how to fix it from there. This happened suddenly on a system that has been running stable for 6+ months. At first I thought that perhaps some of my RAM was bad, so I tried booting with just one stick in (I have 4x1gb), but it wouldn't boot on any of them. My other...

When running screensaver, my "turn off display" settings do not function either when plugged-in or on battery. When setting times out, it goes back to open window. The display turns off when screensaver is disabled. This occurs on both Windows and Google screensavers and before and after upgrading to Windows Vista Ultimate. How can I best resolve this issue.

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...

I have noticed that my pc seems to be running something all the time, the little light is forever flashing and it sounds like its doing a lot of work.

Since the last updates, I cannot print pdf documents which have been generated by scans and attached to emails. The print spooler shuts down, the document hangs up, and has to be cleared manually and the spooler re-started. The problem does not seem to occur with other email attachments, or printing pdf documents stored on my drive

I haved been experiencing extended start up times. When I looked at my start up programs, I noticed multiple Rundll32.exe each one appears to be identical. I can't figure out how to remove the duplicates. When I highlight them, the "remove" button is not enabled. Should I remove these duplicates? How? Will it reduce my start up time? Thanks -- Pogo

When I boot up my computer (a Dell Inspiron 530s running Vista Home Premium) two error messages pop up. They both say RunDLL at the top and say this in the middle: C:\Users\Isaac\AppData\Local\Temp\(in here one says ddaby.dll and the other says awtss.dll) The specific module could not be found. Should i be worried about this? If so, how do i get rid of it?
