Now, my computer can't open like half of the stuff it needs to and now half the icons for like folders and stuff are retarted. I...

I recenlty installed an update for Vista X64, but after the computer restarted there was just a black screen. I can move the mouse around, but I can't do anything else. I tried to run the system restore, but it says my c drive contains errors and it won't work. Anyone know how to fix this? -- Kaim

I am a Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 32-bit User with 2.5 GB RAM. It was 1GB (512 + 512) originally, and I upgraded one RAM to 2GB recently at 1.60 GHz, with 120GB Harddisk space. I am getting very low USB Transfer speeds. I have searched for this problem over the internet, and I haven't got a single solution that works till now. The details are as follows.

I must have scheduled a Disk check on my vista laptop. When it booted up and performed the disk check, It keeps hanging up at 62% 5 of 5. When I turn unit on, it prompts to hit a key to cancel disk check. Well, I can hit ALL of the keys and it doesn't bypass check. I don't think I have the install disc because it was a preload when I bought. Any suggestions? Thanks... -- Hooligan140

No indication of any problems before this happened. No new hardware added. I shutdown Vista for the night and it stayed on "system shutting down" screen so I manually shut it down. Now when I try to start it the computer goes through the normal boot and goes to the first Microsoft screen but stays there for awhile and then goes blank. I have tried to get it going numerous times but...

My computer was working last night and this morning when I went to turn it on, it got stuck at the black screen with the Microsoft Corp load bar. It goes across and across but nother ever happens. I ran registry cleaners and whatnot, and nothing. I did some more looking and it looks like I've lost some system files somehow. It will boot in safe mode. SFC.exe says that there's nothing wrong when I...

I have a rather peculiar problem. The system I'm trying to defrag is currently 51% fragged, and, as you can imagine, that's just much too high. I've tried defragging using both Vista's built in defragger and the software Defraggler, but each time, the fragmentation level goes UP by a percent or two when it's finished. I've never encountered defrag issues on this level before. Any ideas? The...

Previously, (pre-SP1) I allowed WU to do all the updating, resulting in many individual updates being installed prior to SP1. Performance was OK, but IE8 was a bit sluggish. I have just re-imaged the HDD, and immediately installed SP1 from the stand-alone installer, before launching WU. There is certainly a brisker feel about the machine, and IE8 is definitely faster, noticeably so.
