Defrag & System Restore Improvement Suggestions by HMT
As noted by a post from Mike on 4/14/07 and answered by Victoria from Microsoft, defrag in Vista increases used space on the drive. I just discovered the same problem after running defrag c: -r, then defrag c: -w from the command prompt. I lost 3.6GB the first defrag and then lost another 1.75GB the second defrag. After turning System Restore off and on, my free space went from 16% to 41%. I...

Defrag increases "used space" as reported by command-line defrag - by mwhiting001@hotmail.com.NO_SPAM
Why does defrag increase the disk's "used space"? This happens with both the GUI version, and the command-line version. The command line flag "-w" results in a greater decrease in used space. I used (command line) defrag c: -a -v to generate a report, ran the GUI defrag, and then reran a report. It seems that the GUI version repeatably increases "used space" by about .7 GB. The "free...

White screen during boot up :( by Jedimaster
Hi, I have a Windows Vista 32 bit Operating system. Everytime I turn my computer on, it loads as normal until it gets to the aqua coloured Vista welcome screen. After this the whole screen goes white for about 10 seconds. Then the desktop appears. This started today and I can't really think of any reason why it would happen. Would it perhaps be a virus? Or maybe driver software? Sorry I am no...

Computer turns off randomly by Jedimaster
Hi, I have a Vista 32 bit computer. This has been going on for quite a while but I havn't really taken note of it until now. At random times, the computer simply switches itself off.

Might anyone have some...

Disk space usage by Steve Luttrell
I have Windows Vista Home Premium running on an HP Pavilion laptop computer. I have noticed that my disk space usage doesn't add up, because my total usage always exceeds what I can account for by 20-30GB, even after I have included hidden/system files (or so I believe). However, I recently installed SP2 for Windows Vista Home Premium, and noticed that somehow a large amount of space (around...

100% CPU Usage by Wyman
Using Process Explorer I determined that one of the following services running in svchost.exe process is causing constant very high CPU usage: Audiosrv, Dhcp, Eventlog, lmhosts, and wscsv. I stopped each of the services except for the Eventlog. Eventlog would not stop because other running services depend on it. There was no change to the high CPU usage. Casting caution to the wind I...

Help anyone, please? by dmanbass
Have new computer with Windows Ultimate 32 bit installed and I cannot find the media center. The error message says it stopped working and cannot open. Do I need to do a clean install or was the upgrade that I did do what the problem is? I have a feeling I am missing out on a lot in media center and it sure would be nice to use it since it came with the program for $219.99 :-) Thanks all.

ReadyBoost size question by Dana Cline
I have a laptop with 2Gb, Vista Ultimate, and an SD slot I use for ReadyBoost. I currently have a fast 4Gb SD card, but noticed the price on 16Gb SD cards has gone way down. Would there be any benefit to replacing my 4Gb with a 16Gb, given that I only have 2Gb of RAM? Could ReadyBoost make use of it all? Would I notice any difference? Dana Cline

Wallpaper by Ronald Sommers
I'm a tech guy in a school system. We have Vista machines in a lab. Students log on using a student/student login, so no one has their 'own' account. We've locked them out of changing things, but somehow they've been able to make changes to the wallpaper as well as the Word program. The wallpaper is black. When you open up a Word doc the page is black not white. It makes typing difficult with...

Programs and Features Hangs by MrTintin
I have Vista Ultimate x64 with build 6002 (beta SP2). When I go to Programs and Features the list won't populate, the progress bar eventually goes off the right of the drop - down symbol and half way across the red X... I recently put SQL2008 on, had to manually install .NET framework 3.5 first; that now shows up in the list but that's all - and the progress bar does the same thing as before....
