So hmmm... I am experiencing a weird lag in my translucent selection rectangle when I go to click and drag my mouse on my desktop. I've done a bit of research and tried the 'untick - retick' solution but it doesn't work for me. To get a better 'picture' of my pain... my curse... here is the image of what it looks like:...

Hello, i have a quick question just to clarify something. I apologize in advance for any confusion over terms. When i bought my system it came with 4 gigs and Vista Home Premium x64. I had many compatibility issues with games and programs so i then put Ultimate 32bit on it. Now i would like to put another 4gigs of ram on my system and just wanted to make sure that it would accept more. I plan...

I'm running an Acer Aspire 5610 with Windows Home Basic. I've been having problems with my computer not starting correctly or freezing often. Usually I can start the computer with the last known good configuration and have no problems (a simple fix for me, since I know relatively little about computer hardware). Today, I received errors that many of my programs executable files couldn't run...

Hi everybody, At the moment I've installed Vista Ultimate x64 Sp2 and on the task manager I see that the system is using about 1.1 gig of my memory.

Well, I am having some VERY annoying issues with this computer, seemingly for no reason. It was running fine but lately I've been getting hit with Crash Dump after Crash Dump. Usually it's when I'm watching TV on my tuner card, playing a game, or using Windows Media Player .. so I thought it was an issue with my Video Card ... however it just started hitting me while simply browsing the web. This...

My Vista Premium will not run autochk.exe. I ran sfc/ scannow and the cbs log file found autochk.exe corrupt. I tried to copy autochk.exe from another Vista PC to the c:\windows\system 32 folder and it will not let me. I'm running as administrator and click continue when user account control pops up, but it won't copy. Any suggestions?

On a daily basis, my computer slows to a crawl. Control Atl delete yields, after a long black screen, “failure - security options� “logon process has failed to create the security options dialog.�Have run complete checkdisk and hard drive tests and everything comes up okay. No events shown in event viewer. I see postings of this problem all over the internet but no solutions. Anyone...

System Restore option fails consistently with above error. Happens if I try to open it from Control Panel or by running rstrui from a safe mode command prompt. Stop error mentions problem with file system but chkdsk on every partition shows no error. Memory test also completes ok. Can't get into the window to turn off SR and purge existing restore points. Any ideas on how I can resolve this...

So I was just minding my own business, recording guitar like I usually do on Toshiba Satellite U405 laptop when it restarted. When it came up all i get for every program is this side-by-side error message. I can't even get on the internet (not even Explorer will connect). Luckily I have this XP desktop lying around! Of course I immediately googled and found the install fix (C++ redistributable...

A friend asked me to help, but as I'm an avid XP fan and haven't gone over to Vista, I've no idea so I'm hoping someone here can help. Vista Home Premium (IIRC) and she can't get on the internet. I had a look and it seems that there's a choice of network, ie, Local Only or Local and Internet. Her's is stuck on Local Only and shows a red X between the diagram of a router and the globe. We...
