I have been having more or less continuing problems with my HP OEM Vista Home Premium. Several times a day it has been hanging up whether I am using Firefox (preferred) or Internet Explorer I have checked with every tool I can put my hands on but with no positive results. I am now looking at:

After downloading some recent updates the computer asks me to reboot in order to install them. I restart the computer and the message appears again so I assumed it needed several restarts. Unfortunately this is still persisting following some 6-7 reboots. When I enter the Windows Update screen at Control Panel\Security\Windows Update I am unable to check for updates as the screen is...

i have 32bit home premium i boot the laptop, click on my user account and the desktop and stuff loads up 10 seconds later, everything is incredibly slow, I click on the Start button and it takes 2 minutes to open, that's one of the 'better' boots, sometimes the desktop loads and is already frozen (i can't even move the mouse) i tried removing some startup programs via windows defender,...

I know this question keeps coming up but I have yet to find a solution. Basically my Vista screensavers reset to nothing everytime I reboot my machine. I can preview them, I can set a time and it works once I "apply" it. But as soon as I turn off the machine and then reboot it has reset to nothing, and I have to set it again to get it to work. This is quite annoying. I do not have any wireless...

Hi everyone, I've recently upgraded to a new PC with Vista installed, I've been using XP Professional for a few years and pretty much know the operating system inside out, my knowledge of Vista however is fairly good, but far from what I would call in-depth. After spending a fair amount of time reviewing the backup and restore options within Windows Vista, I'm left scratching my head wondering...

For the last few days my 'pc' (http://www.vistax64.com/#) takes three and half minutes to load. I did have the windows update KB954430 installed around that time. All malware and virus scans come up clean. Could this update be the problem? It takes 90 sec. to get to the welcome screen, then the screen goes black untill the programs begin to load at 195 seconds. the loading of programs seems to...

When trying to backup my system I receive error 'Your backup configuration is not valid. Review your backup settings. (0x81000029)'. Currently I'm trying to backup to an external HDD and I've accepted all the default settings except for the day/time which I changed Monday at 2:00 AM. I've tried changing from the default values to see if the error is being thrown by one of the defaults with...

When attempting to have my Back-up updated I keep receiving the following error message 0x80070424. When I look for a way to correct this error I find many asking similar questions but am unable to find any answers to the problem. I am a complete novice and find all the gobble-de-gook on the numerous pages relating to this problem very confusing and not very helpful. Can anyone please exlpain...

How can I determine what service is tieing up my computer? I am running Vista Home Premium, x64 w/Quad CPU. At various times, the computer will begin disk operations which completely tie up the computer; CPU use is minimal but response time drops to 30-45 seconds at best. There are no user applications running. The only things I can think of is the indexing service or, perhaps, a background...

This never happened for a couple of days but as I started updating Vista, the Blue Screen Error has been occurring. the Problems Center in Vista advised me to update to SP1 because it said that this issue has been resolved in the latest service pack. After updating, the problem is still here. When i boot Vista up its normal, and operates perfectly. But when the issue of putting my computer on...

I increased the RAM on my Compaq Presario SR2002X from 512M to 2G (both old and new are the same speed, PC2-4200). Both the BIOS Setup and the System dialog in the Control Panel show that they are using the new memory. As expected, a variety of things run faster now. In particular, all those security dialogs that come up and dim the desktop whenever you start some system maintenance process. ...

Does Vista (Home Premium, in my case) defrag the hard drive(s) on its own, without being scheduled to do so? I know I can manually force a defrag, but what about unscheduled defrags? Thanks. EW
