Is there a means within Vista to set it so that it turns the computer off at a certain time? If not, does anyone know of a third-party program that will do that?

Is anyone running Vista 64 on an HP m8120n? Have you seen any performance advantage with Vista 64? Has anyone upgraded beyond 3GB? Any noticable improvement over vista 32? I'm thinking of installing Vista 64 and adding some memory thanks, Rod

When you log on to a wireless network for the first time, vista identifies if the network has internet access, and won't let you on the internet untill it finishes. The internet indicator (little pic of earth) is usefull, but the wait is annoying.

I have a problem right now, where several different programs are "breaking" down at nearly the same time. It starts with a few programs losing sound (TeamSpeak RC2 and War Rock are the two I notice).

Network Magic. often the cpu usage is at a 100% and when launching my e-mail app. it will sometimes launch in 2 seconds. Other times it may take from 10 20 seconds.

My computer has given me trouble in the past and just got back from being fixed. The original problems were still there and I was told to reinstall windows.
