new window opens behind previous window by Eugene
Sometimes when I open a new program, or click on a link on the web, the new window is nowhere to be found and I try opening it again, then discover it opened up behind the previous program. This doesn't happen all the time, just once in awhile, but it's very annoying. What is it about Vista that causes this, and how can I prevent it?

ALL programs say "not responding" before opening by Darjis
not sure what's up, but EVERY program i open pauses (says Not Responding) my physical memory is always at 65-75% even when the only thing running is MSN messenger and it wasn't always like this. while running firefox or safari internet is quick, and once the programs are open, they run fine, just opening each program is causing a problem. \any ideas?

There is an information icon and the words "This program cannot display the webpage", followed by suggestions for how to make the program display the webpage. My problem is that I can drag the window to the bottom of the desktop where it is more or...

Why are files written already fragmented? by Mike B
I've got Diskeeper installed now on my Vista Ultimate machine, and notice that Diskeeper is working in the background on defragmenting some newly-written files... you can see the name of the file it's working on. Question is, since there is plenty of space on my disk, and this file is new, why does it need defragmenting at all? My guess is that the file is perhaps not being defragmented as...

System Restore Issue - Vista by jlearley
The system restore function is not working properly on my Vista home premium (which has RAID 1). In the system protection tab, the box for available disks just says "searching..". I cannot create a restore point or open the system restore application. After perusing various tech forums, I came across the below solution posted by Jill Zoeller (6/12/2007):

Enlarged desktop icons/unusual zoom by No Name
When opening my laptop, my computer gave me a message saying it had an unexpected shutdown. As my computer restarted, the desktop icons seemed huge! Also, everything on the computer is zoomed and everything is huge also. How can I put my computer back to the defaulted small icons and lower zoom?

Windows Vista 64-bit. Every now and then I accidently do some unknown combination of controls with my Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer 2.0 mouse and it opens the Magnifier program. It's then very difficult to navigate with the magnified window to the Start button and select the "Accessories" "Ease of Access" "Magnifier" to turn the darn thing off. In the Magnifier setup I do NOT have the...
