My HP running Vista has always turned the power button from blue to orange when the PC went into sleep mode. Recently instead of orange it has started flashing blue. I just installed the standard monthly MS updates but haven't changed anything else I can think of that might account for this. Google isn't helping. Can anyone enlighten me what these color codes signify and how they could...

Information Only: I accidentally hit the standby button, or update button and an update I had been avoiding was loaded without me being able to stop it. The Nvidia driver update from a couple of weeks ago seems to have problems during sleep operations. Since the update, I have lost my screen resolution when coming out of sleep and has reverted to a lower resolution. The system worked...

Hello, I have read a number of threads on various forums regarding the fact that XP/Vista 64 and other 64-bit OS's can, in some cases and with some tinkering, access more RAM than the 32-bit versions. There must be a million sites out there explaining why the 32-bit versions cannot access more than around 2.5 or 3 gb. I am yet to find a site, though, that demonstrates objective performance...

When I power on the system, the BIOS screen is about 3 seconds, then the Windows...

Before it finished I just closed the lid to my laptop. This morning when I turned it on the screen was black. I restarted and tried to run Vista but i kept getting a black screen. So I restarted again and tried safe mode. It didn't even...

Since purchase in Oct 08 until a couple of days ago, upon boot the memory meter always started at around 35% or less and never went past mid 40s for any time.

Hello, I, like many other vista users, have been recently experiencing explorer.exe crashes. I've done research and its everywhere, even on this forum, but there doesn't seem to be a full definite answer as to why explorer.exe crashes intermittently or when running control panel. Well I was browsing through proc monitor and I decided to search "unsecapp.exe" the program that associates with the...
