Vista Complete Backup Problem by Jul
Allright guys, I know this may sound as a very stupid question (laughing 5 minutes for just 1 dollar! ). But I made a full backup of my PC via the backup software from nting to a Vista... What seems is that I've skipped the mount to a CD, DVD, whatever part. So I only have a folder called WindowsImageBackup of around 160GB on a secondary HDD. The problem is that I had to reinstall Vist and now...

Hibernation won't start by lpants53
I have my computer set to hibernate after being idle for 2 hours, but even after being idle for that long (and longer) the computer refuses to go into hibernation mode. I know that it's not a hardware issue, since my computer used to go into hibernation back when I had Vista RTC; ever since I upgraded to Vista Ultimate, hibernation does not work. Any ideas on why?

My main complaint is poor performance. I've stripped away most of the slick features that ate into the performance of my machine and still I am unsatisfied. Needless to say, I have made all the modifications I could find in the...

Realtek Audio in Vista 64 Home Premium by Skip
Apologies if this has already been asked. I have an integrated sound controller (Realtek) which worked FINE in XP. In Vista (with all the latest drivers too) it ran badly and everything was choppy. Updating my video card to something more powerful helped (bizarrely) and the sound was normal for 80% of applications, BUT...sound is still choppy in Skype and applications like VOIP. Can anyone...

Backup to external drive by Adrian
Because a lot of high definition photos were backed up, the external drive is full. It is a 10gb Western Digital "My Book Essential Edition." So now I am getting Windows messages that automatic weekly backups are failing. How do I go about cleaning up the external drive so that there is space available for future backups? The future backups will not include photos (or very few).
