I have got windows vista on my computer and I don't know how to get into settings (It used to come up when I clicked on start with windows XP) Anyway, the problems I'm having a- 1. My internet keeps cutting out after about 10 minutes if I'm not browsing or typing on messenger. 2. A website will not load unless I move the mouse around.

I downloaded the Windows XP Creativity Fun Pack (for Windows Movie Maker), but I keep getting this message when I try to install it: "Windows XP required for this installation." Is this only XP compatible, or is there some way I can fix this?

Hey Microsoft -- You are so powerful why not help out the little guy who has been screwed by Vista. Give us our money back that we had to pay for something that does not work will or fix it!!!!!! My old computers run way faster then this new one. I was forced to buy a new computer and had to take Vista. Not fair that I don't have a choice of operating systems. My life has been hell since I...

This message keeps popping up. I have restarted my system and even tried a system restore, which cannot succeed for some reason. I ran a scan with my Norton virus protection and it came back clean. The message just keeps popping up over and over again without me doing anything. How the heck can I stop this?

In my last MS Updates, there was an updated driver for my laptop chipset family (Intel T5500 series). Since installing it and several more Microsoft specific updates, I have had an odd problem. I suspect the Intel driver, as I had icon issues before and that was related. Anyway, ideas? Laptop is a Toshiba Satellite A205-S4629. Vista Ultimate, 32 bit, dual Intel 5500T chipset, 1.67 GH, 2+ Gig...

I've had my new Dell computer with Vista Home Premium for less than a month. It seems to me when I first got started I had the option of single clicking or double clicking to get programs and windows to open. I chose single click. Now I have to dbl click to get anything to open and when I go into folder options single click is grayed out so I can't even select it. Why is this? I thought...

If I leave my computer on sleep is it ok to have the blue led light flashing all night?It's just that it seems to be flashing fast.

Sleep doesn't work on my system, Windows Vista Home Basic. Something in Vista keeps waking it up, sometimes after a few minutes, sometimes longer. Vista has, in effect, trashed the Sleep feature. You put the computer to sleep to save power while you're away from the computer -- and then Vista puts it right back into full power usage, when nobody is there to put it back to sleep. If you...

Hi, I'm using vista and accidentally cleaned up the hiberfil.sys using disk cleanup, and lost the option to hibernate on the shutdown menu. How do I get it back?

A few weeks ago I turned on my computer and found my desktop background was black. I tried to change it back to the picture I originaly had, but it wouldn't change. I can only change it to a colour. My daughter recently installed a sims game, but the graphics are fuzzy. This never used to happen before, it has only started since my desktop background went black. Is there something wrong...

I am helping a friend of the family with a 2 month old Dell Inspirion 1505, running the Vista operating system that was supplied with the new laptop. The owner has applied updates when available and has had no other problems. I have cut and pasted the verbiage from another post below, as it describes our problem, but there were no responses since June, so I was hoping this post might have a...

What is going on w/Vista? I am running Vista Ultimate on a Xeon system w/4G of RAM, and I keep experiencing these annoying unresponsive periods now and then--quite randomly as far as I can tell--characterized by heavy HDD thrashing (HDD LED on). They sometimes last 20 seconds. A close description of this issue (or something closely related) can be found he...

The screen goes blank, and the hard drive light is on steady. I don't hear any hard drive noise though. The computer will just sit there like that forever. I have disabled all non microsoft services and...
