All the letters and numbers on my monitor look like print paper that is low on ink. Like part of the letter or number is ether missing or very weak on color.

Dell Inspiron 1501, running Vista Ultimate, will not 'Shut Down'... It will hang for hours (logging off) and you have to force it down with the Power Button, which can cause problems. Additionally, you can not use the 'Restart'. If you use the 'System Restore' for anything, it has been 'eventually' restarting, but taking longer than normal. Even with that process, today it couldn't...

Well, the header says it all. I've gotten this multiple times. When it happened, I was running Firefox 2.x, Thunderbird, MediaMonkey, Zune X64, mutorrent and that's it.

Hi, I have a new Acer Aspire computer running on Windows Vista. I've had it set up for a week now, running every day without any problems. Today, I switched on the computer and before Vista loaded, the computer shut down on its own. I tried again and this time got a screen asking if I want to run a start-up diagnostic. I chose that and the computer shut down again. I switched on again and...

hello. When I start my laptop I expect that the icon off the battery is in the system tray. But most of the times it isn't. So I can't see how much power my battery has left. When I go to: properties system tray (systemicons), there I can click on: clock - volume - network an energy. But most of the time I can't click on them. It's really odd. Can anybody help me with that?

Ever since the update named above was released, myself and a LOT of other people have been having serious performance issues with Windows Vista. A good deal of this shows up in problems with multimedia playback and sharing (like, for instance, streaming video from the computer to the Xbox 360). With this is a gradual but very noticeable decrease in system performance overall - everything...

Hi, can any one pls help get rid of a folder in my recycle bin ? I can still delete all other kinds of files & folders except that particular folder. Thanks

Following a reformat and clean install of Vista (suspected upgraded XP to be the cause, obviously wasn't), I have apparently found the cause of this unbearable problem which I know to be affecting a few people. I haven't found a cure though! Right-clicking the network tray icon and choosing Connect to a network is causing a 22 - 24 second delay before anything actually happens. The...
