Cannot get sleep mode or display function to work by Rick
I cannot seem to get the sleep mode or hibernate mode to work at all. Additionally, and more frustating and important to me, is I cannot get the display to reactivate and go back on once it has gone off by simply moving the mouse. I have to push the 'ON' button on my display to activate it, and unfortunately this button is beginning to stick, and I don't want another problem to arise if...

Vista Won't Idle by Eric Sambell
About a week ago it looks like Windows hasn't been idling. The search indexer will only run at full speed, and scheduled tasks that are set to run only when idle won't run, even though they are set to run in the middle of the night when I haven't touched the computer for hours. Any items that have been received into Outlook don't get indexed and the list of items to be indexed keeps getting...

This is a bit of a showstopper by Steve Thackery[_2_]
I've just read the article, and apparently it doesn't apply to Vista, only to the various versions of Server 2003. Looks like we're OK, then. Still a remarkable bug, though. SteveT

Missing readyboost by dsilinski
Maybe someone can help me with a problem with readyboost. When I plug a USB stick or SD card in I get no option to use it for readyboost. This only started recently as I was using readyboost with one of the devices that now does not work. When I go into properties there is no readyboost tab and auto play does not give that as an option. I used them in another machine and they worked, and...

How do I backup the windows updates? by pjsformula1
Having installed loads of windows updates I'd hate to have do them from scratch again if my hard drive fails. I know there is a recovery drive (D) but I assume this is a partition on the same physical disc. I'd hate to install Vista onto a new drive from the DVD then have to use Windows Update and have to overcome all the installation failures I've had on my way to Service Pack 1.

Vista Ultimate 32 Sudden Slowdown by Peter Corser
Hi I have Vista Ultimate 32 bit OEM (Self Installed) on a home built desktop. AFAIK all drivers are up to date and PC runs very well on startup. If left for some time (usually a couple of hours or so) it suddenly becomes extremely slow and unresponsive. This can happen even in the middle of working. I have a UK Network Rail Sidebar Gadget which is constantly updating with local train...

media player doesn't always work by Chad Meyer
I have the Ultimate Edition of Vista and am having issues with media player. I would play a file just fine and go to play one later and it won't play. Media player will open up and load the file, but will not play it. This has been happening for the last week and am stumped on a solution. I would like to try a fresh install, but can't seeing how it was built into the OS itself. If I...

message re memory amount change by Donna
Every once in awhile when booting up my computer I get a screen with the message: Amount of Memory Has Changed and I'm given the option of continuing or going to setup. I have no idea why this happens, tho it seems to be connected with my Avast anti-virus program updating itself as I didn't install anything new. I have no idea what this means or what I should do about it. I have simply hit...

Vist Backup by Harmon Koeltz
Hello I'm running Vista Home Premium with all updates including SP1. I backup my files weekly to an external hard drive using the Windows backup utility that is a part of Vista. As I understand it, the backup is supposed to back up all new or changed files and does not back up program files. My external hard drive now has more used space than my hard drive. I must have some setting wrong or...

File extensions. Unusual problem. by Wolfy2k4
Ok, my file extensions are all hidden. I've always been able to fix this in the past under xp and even vista. However... There is no folder options icon in my control panel. The "Organize" Button on my windows explorer shows "Folder and Search options" but it is greyed out. I cannot select it. I believe I am running my Vista as Administrator but am not sure how to confirm this.
