I've got a problem with Vista's Svchost.exe. I don't know why, but is seems to have started after I installed Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 single player demo. I noticed that after the computer booted and the boot itself was pretty fast until the desktop comes up and then it slows down a bit. It acts if I was defragging or something. I can still run everything, but it's slowed down about...

Ok I usually have no problems installing updates. But today for some reason the 4 IMPORTANT Updates fail to install. I do not get a clear error msg. And they do not how as installed so they can't be uninstalled. These all seem to be Office 2007 related. KB975960, 974561, 973704, & 973593. They failed this morning despite rebooting. And then I was prompted again this afternoon. They failed...

My friend has a Vista Home Premium (32bit) Dell desktop with SP2 installed - and all other updates installed as of this moment in time. A month or so ago he created 3 sub-folders in his Video folder. These are empty and have not, as far as I am aware, been used. When I say they are empty I mean there are no files inside. I have noticed that there are some sub-folders, which are also empty I...

Club member's computer. Windows Vista Home Premium 32-Bit. When I first picked it up, no shortcut link to a program would work.

The error message went something like this: "This file does not have a program associated with it from performing this action. Create an association in the Set...

Hi, I have Windows Vista Home Premium Edition on my laptop. When I browse, using Internet Explorer, the pane successively becomes smaller.

Hi, I'm having a problem with charmap.exe. While it is working perfectly on both Windows XP and Windows Vista 32 Bit, it does not include "All fonts (private characters)" on a system with Windows Vista Ultimate 64 Bit. I need a user-defined character made with eudcedit.exe on the 64 Bit system, too.

Does anyone know if it is possible to do maintenance - including installation of new software and permorming updates of existing software - of a Vista installation which is local but Offline, ie, not running at that moment? Safe Mode is not an option in the scenario I'm working under. -- Cavaldi

I use my laptop to play an MMoRPG Game and I noticed it runs extremely slower than a few months back. I also noticed the System Idle Process is running and using 90% of the cpu. Is there anything I can do to speed up my computer or to stop the System Idle Process from using up all the CPU?

Usually, hibernation (which is set as my default shutdown option in the Start Menu), takes less than a minute. Sometimes however, it takes very long. It can get up to, or even more than, 10 minutes! I accessed the Event Viewer - Applications and Services logs - Microsoft - Windows - Diagnostics-Performance - Operational, and filtered for Event ID 300. There are several 'Error' and...

I want to clone a laptop drive that's larger in capacity than the one in my laptop. The original has two logical partitions. I have Acronis True Image 11. Reason: If my laptop drive ever goes south, I should just be able to pop the cloned drive in and off we go. I need some detailed guidance on how to do this.

Hi guys, Earlier today my Fujitsu-Siemans laptop crashed whilst doing windows updates installation. Now it won't boot. Before it took it over 20mintues to get past the green scrolling bar bit and then it got stuck on welcome. Tried booting it in safe mode, and the same thing happens.
