Vista Backup or Data Recovery by ansebree
I had my external hard drive stolen this week when someone broke into my car. The hard drive had all of my work on a project I've been doing for work for the last 2 1/2 months. Everything is lost. Most of the files were at least partially created or editted on my laptop which has Windows Vista. I've heard that Vista may make copies of documents accessed on your computer. Is this true?? If...

my brother jailbreaked his iPod touch 2g yesterday and had to put the comp in test mode. since nothing saved to the desktop, I went to an elevated command prompt or whatever it is. I typed "bcdedit.exe /set testsigning off" and restarted the computer. when I get to the desktop, I find the mouse and keyboard not working. the mouse is in the middle of the screen and doesn't move.

How do I enable hyperthreading??? by mike
Vista ultimate sp1 I upgraded the P4 processor. Enabled hyperthreading in the bios. PCwizard says the system can do hyperthreading, but it's disabled. Benchmarks indicate this is true. If I reload vista from scratch, hyperthreading is enabled and works. Benchmarks much better. I really don't want to have to reinstall from

Internet Explorer bug: never ending pop ups by gugliemo
This is the third Vista laptop (out of 3) which i've experienced this problem on. Occasionally when you open a link 'In New Window' vista will start opening endless new windows and the only way to stop it is to log out or wait long enough for IE to crash and close all its windows. Any idea how I can get rid of this bug? Thanks --

Microsoft PC Advisor Discontinued by goorambatman
This is the response on the Microsoft Connect site. Looks like one of Microsoft's best ideas of recent times has been scrapped? What a shame, this program would have made Windows so much better. I could be wrong but it looks like this project has been scrapped. Any reasons why? Thank you for participating in the Windows Advisor Beta program and using this support tool. Your feedback about...

increasing font size by Joel[_6_]
Last week I purchased my 1st laptop and thus entered the world of Vista after running Win XP home since it 1st came out. I'm a senior at 62, and my eyesight isn't the best anymore. I tried 1024x600 for larger font size but didn't like how graphics and Icons looked, so I went back to the default of 1288x600. My problem is the the font size including emails is just too small, so I'm forced to...

Vista Partition Tool - will not shrink partition by VMR
Hi all My C: drive is 1Tb in size (931.43Gb), with Used Space of 73.8Gb and Free Space of 857.65Gb. I want to shrink the C: partition down to 200Gb, and use this just for my OS and App files - I'm running Vista Ultimate 64 bit. This would then leave me with a new partition of c. 750Gb for my data files and documents etc.

CPU Spikes and Audio Lag by Sk8punkEmO
I need help My PC has been having CPU usage spikes every few seconds. This wouldn't be so bad as it causes a minimal amount of lag onscreen, but it makes the audio lag when ever it happens. This means listening to music is ruined and cutscenes in games can get out of sync. Please help me, thanks. :( -- Sk8punkEmO
