As I type, spaces are inserted into words and sometimes the cursor just runs to the right and a "morse code" chattering sound comes from the hard drive. It oftens happens in the little search window at the bottom of the Start menu. I've turned down the sensitiving of the keyboard and track pad and also disabled tapping while typing. This doesn't happen always but regularly, especially in...

I keep suffering random reboots and have noticed that my CPU is running at about 95% when the reboot occurs while my RAM (2GB) is only at 56% utilization. Is there a way to correct this within Windows? Can I reallocate how much RAM is used vs CPU processing. I am currently unable to do any video editing due to this problem. Thanks, Miles

I need a new imaging program to copy contents from a Windows XP hard drive to a new HP computer using Vista Home Edition Premium. Does anyone have an opinion as to whether TRUE IMAGE 10 or NORTON GHOST 12 is the better program for this use? best, Aaron

Can I have a list of programs that Vista needs running in the background? I want to disable some things, but I don't want to disable the wrong program.

Hi. When I'm triyng to copy something, even if is very short in space, it take too long thinking about the time that it will take to copy or move the file(s). Is there a way to disable it? Copy a file in xp is easier. Regards, Marco

I have a Dell Inspiron 1501 with Windows Vista Home Basic. My screensaver doesn't come on at all -- I've checked all performance/energy options and when I press Preview for the screensaver, it flashes on quickly then disappears a moment later. I noticed another issue that seems to be related: When I use AOL Instant Messenger, I never go idle (hence, my screensaver never turns on). There has...

My laptop is VAIO SZ4 (Core 2 Duo T5500, 1GB RAM, Vista Home premium). The default theme is Windows Aero and I like it. The problem is, when the system memory is low after I open a lot of applications, esp. MATLAB 2007a with 60 figures), Vista will change Windows Aereo to Windows Vista Basic to boost system performance. This is not desirable. Is there a way to disable this theme downgrade?...

Hello, How can i subscribe windows calendar to iran calendar ? i can't find any services

On my laptop (2.5 GB RAM) the Task Manager says that memory usage is 800MB. Sometimes more, sometimes less, depending on other programs running. I'm aware that Vista is supposed to be caching things and such, but I haven't found a discussion about how much memory Vista needs all by itself. For example, an XP computer with similar configuration (same brand anti-virus, fairly clean of little...

Interesting note: when I create a new user on...
