My Vista build pauses at random times. Generally the mouse can be moved and various windows can be minimized/maximized but that is about it. I have tested the hard drives with chkdsk. I have tested the memory. I have disabled all startups in msconfig. All drivers are up to date. System is running Vista SP1. Any other suggestions?

I have had my data on a separate partition for the last year or so, and I do like it that way, but ever since then, I've gotten used to using right-click to drag-n-drop from the desktop (C) to my Documents (D), as the right-click gives you the option of actually moving, instead of copying the file. Is there any way I can get the left-click action to actually move, as opposed to copy (I...

I am running Vista Home Premium SP 2. Free disk space about 60Gb. When I run DeFrag all of my System Restore Points are deleted. I have found many instances of this happening but none are as I described for my system. I first discovered this while running Diskeeper. I stopped Diskeeper and restore points are not deleted. So, I tried the Vista Defrag and sure enough the Restore Points...

The problem started with a monitor driver download from Dell. The instructions on the disk did not match the ones on the website. Now I cannot unzip anything, without continous windows opening. I then need to log off, or shut down to stop it. Is there a way to reset the Vista Ultimate unzip function? If I'm in the wrong group, please advise, as well.

Not sure if this is the right place to post this or not... I was having major issues with my phone (I use phone software similar to that in a call center for my home phone), and decided to do some general computer maintenance to try and fix it.

I updated all the drivers in ths OS (Vista Ultimate, 32 bit) and let it "burn in" for a couple of days by running Prime95 and keeping an...

When I start Media Center from a Vista Home Premium machine, the opening display screen with all the menu selection is nearly impossible to view due to lines of blinking dots all over. When I view TV or other media, the screen is fine. All functions work fine. It is only the Menu screen that is a big issue. How do I fix it?

Hi my daughter's computer 'cannot load the hive (file) \systemroot\system32\config\SOFTWARE...' and has been unable to repair itself. I have tried system restore and I cannot remember the exact message but basically there appear to be no restore points to go back to.

Somewhere in the past 2 weeks, Aero stopped working for me. I have tried the troubleshooters to no avail, and spent 3 hours on the phone with Dell and still no luck. When I try to turn Aero back on I go to Window Color and Appearance and it shows it set to "Vista Basic" when I change it to "Vista Aero", and apply and O.K., the screen does a little shimmy but the features are still not...

I have a vista x32 and my internet is not working because it say's Limited or no connectivity, i found the driver for it. It was called nvmfdx32.sys and when i open it with a notepad it shows a big blank spot in the middle of the document. I don't know how to reinstall the driver for it or fix it. All i need to do is get a new driver to make it work I think. -- gme4l1f3
