Hi folks! I own an HP HDX Premium Series, Vista Home Premium I applied some recommended update ("nVidia - Display - nVidia GeForce 9600m GT" and since then my graphics card has gone all wonky, and so has my "monitor" (i.e. laptop screen). It seems to have defaulted to some basic generic drivers, so that I can use my laptop but can't do anything involving graphics (I can't even play Spider...

I've had this problem for a few weeks now and I'm stumped as to what to do. I'm not sure if the issue started when I was installing an update but basically my laptop(HP dv9000z series, Vista 32-bit) started to run VERY slow one day in August. I did an AVG scan on it which took 24 hours and showed up no issues. I then went away for 3 weeks and when I came back I turned on the laptop only to have...

I'm on a HP, running 64 bit Vista. 2.1GHz Dual Core, 4GB DDR2 SDRAM. (I don't really speak "computer" very well) I am trying to run some 10 year old software. It installed fine, but when I try to run it the program first does a check to make sure I have enough available RAM. When it checks my Free RAM it says I have -130MB of Free RAM and the program won't even try to start. Now - I...

During the past few weeks I have faced the problem of lost some GBs from my Hard Disk! My Hard Disk's Capacity is 500 Gbs! However, when I add together Program Files, Documents and Settings and any other leftovers they don't reach even the amount of 350 Gbs! So, I reckon that I have hidden (lost) some Gbs in my Hard Disk! In the past I used a software that used to analyze my Hard Disk Data i.e....

Vista Home Premium SP2, IE8, WLM 14.0.0726 I have been using Admin/user account since day one for 3 years.

Hello, The windows explorer green progress bar has become a real big drag on my system. I have the ultimate on destops and a laptop. I have been using the laptop mostly and the folder exploring has alomost become a nightmare. The laptop has enough power (2Hz Intel CPU and 2G memory) and I definetely don't think that is an issue here. Every clik on a folder triggers whatever is indicated by...

Once windows vista home premium starts up and all programs have loaded, a small window appears in the lower right hand corner with the header "TsGH". It gives me the opcion of restoring, accepting or cancelling. What is this and how do I get rid of it??? Thanks, Alejandro
