System Crashing daily - Vista by
Chipper
I have a real mess on my hands.
Ever since I allowed my new computer (6 mos. old, and running Vista) to
download and install the updates available Feb. 12, it has been a horror
show. My computer is crashing at least once a day. I've tried going back to
various previous restore points, but then, after the "restore process", up
pops the message "System retore did not complete successfully....

High Disk Usage/CPU when computer goes idle. by
Steve
Hi, I've tried searching for this problem I've had, but nothing other than
the "System Idle Process" comes up.
My problem is that whenever my laptop goes idle (almost the second when the
screen saver goes on after 15 minutes), I get high CPU and disk usage. This
has happened ever since I first bought this computer, so I'm pretty sure it's
not a program I've installed. But, I've tried to turn...

Windoes Security by
David0944
When my PC was delivered, and evaluation copy of McAfee Command Centre was
pre installed. As I prefer to use my own antivrus product as well as Windows
own firewall, I uninstalled McAfee. Although it didn't fully install, I
removed the files left behind with the removal tool provided by McAfee. I
installed my own antivirus product, aVast, and activated Windows firewall. If
I look in Security...

Registry restore by
Larry Adler
Fairly straightforward question:
Say I back up my entire registry by exporting to a .reg file, saving it to
the desktop. When I import that file into the registry, does it overwrite
all the existing registry files?

Problem with wallpaper by
LegalNurse
Up till a few minutes ago I had a beautiful clear photo of twin babies as my
background, but I decided to update it to a newer shot (after adding
Quickbooks earlier today--I don't know whether this is related, or whether
the problem is Vista). Anyway, now every picture I try to place as
wallpaper, including the standard scenic photos, are blurred. I tried
cleaning disc space and also...

Backup of emails by
georgeB
When using the Backup Wizard with Vista, are the emails, address book etc.
saved if instead of Outlook the Mozila Thunderbird is the default email
software?
And if not, are there any options for doing that in the Backup Wizard?

Low Disk Space FOLLOWUP by
ibmlucia
I have Vista Home Premium on my one yr old HP laptop. I keep getting a popup
indicating low disk space on my "D" recovery drive and have to delete files
from my trash. Since the "D" drive is FULL, I have NEVER been able to do a
full backup. I have not saved anything to the D drive. A friend suggested
one of my 'spy security' programs had saved data there. I had 'SpyBot' but

Explorer.exe crashes by
Josh Y.
I'm having BIG issues. I accidentally downloade Virtumonde last night and
have ran McAfee virus scan enterprise and Spybot and both have gotten rid of
the trojan and spyware...at least that's what they tell me. Now spybot tells
me that there are registry changes happening from time to time and anytime I
try to start the control panel or My Computer, explorer.exe crashes and

Display too Small by
skawks
After an automatic windows update, my computer restarted and everything on
the monitor has shrunk down in size including the toolbar, sidebar, mouse,
internet explorer and everthing else. I have a Dell 22" widescreen LCD with
resolution set at 1680 by 1050 which I believe is the correct resolution. Any
recommendations to return everything back to its normal size?
Thanks

Important updates by
Denis
Good evening all,
I am being asked to download the same important updates all the time.
They get downloaded, I reboot and then the same Updates are available for
download. I think I have downloaded the same downloaded half a dozen time,
hoping this would fix itself...and it does not.
Any ideas

A few days ago, I noticed on my laptop running vista home premium that my
battery icon stays at 100%, even when I have been running on the battery for
an hour or so. I have no idea why its doing this. It has also occasionally
told me that my battery is at 2%, even though it has been plugged in.

System Backup Fails by

it's way. I too am having the same problem with my system backups

external hard drive issues by
eddiebigd
I have a WD Passport external hard drive about 100gigs. I use it for most of
my document storage because I'm on the road a lot so it's easier for me to
take the hard drive on the road than it is to swap files between two
machines. Ok, so the problem is, for some reason, I'll be working on my
external drive, have a bunch of documents open and whatnot, and all of the
sudden, it just stops...
