Sound and lag problem by Unit 116
My laptop running Vista has been playing kind of funny recently. I will turn it on and everything runs fine, but then after a little bit of usage the sounds goes out and the computer slows down. It doesnt slow down a whole bunch, but it is quite noticable. Also the Taskbar usually goes white, not displaying anything, then flashes into normal, then goes white again. Please help.

Icon and Fonts distorted by Brandon
I have three user accounts on this machine. A few days ago we logged out of one account by clicking Log Off. Instead of the monitor going to black for only a second, the monitor remained black. However the computer was still on and functioning because it responded to the DVD/CD-ROM drive ejection button on the multi-media keyboard. So I turned it off by holding in the power button. Upon...

Brand new Sony Laptop with 2 gigs of RAM and Solo Core U1500 1.33 GHZ CPU. I can't seem to resolve the performance issue related to the hard drive constantly spinning. I went to the Resource Monitor and see that the Disk section is showing 100% highest Active time consistantly and it rarely drops below this.

Warning - Event ID 1530 by MrSlartybartfast
I get two of these warnings everytime I restart the computer and I don't know what it means. I use Vista 64bit and full computer specs listed below. The warnings date back many weeks to when I first install Windows.. Any information about this warning is much needed, or how to diagnose if this is the cause of my instability. Other than this warning my event log is fairly clean, so I'm...

VISTA updates on Vaio by Spaniel Jasper
I installed the updates that I received last Saturday on my vaio running Vista SP1. On restart it took about half an hour to shut down and it now no longer starts. There is apparently a fatal I/O hardware error not allowing windows to start. I can't even start in safe mode, I've gone back to previous restore points and can't re-install Vista. Anyone experienced this problem with updates or...

Windows explorer takes several seconds to show the drivers, and clicking on folders and files takes 2-3 seconds to see/open. My wife's account that I created is perfectly fine...runs fast and smooth. I created a test account, and sure enough, it is perfect as well. So I transfered all my files, outlook files,...
