can we disable sync center yet? by drew00629
Ive searched for awhile now, and havent found an answer. According to the MS website, sync center cannot be turned off, and i dont understand why. Im on a quad core with 3gb ddr2, and 80% of the time, sync center will start up for no reason and drain my resources. the other 20% of the time it starts up with WMP. Is there a third party software or registry hack that will allow me to completely...

Logging Users Off via Task Manager by ccnavin72
Hi, I have recently started using Vista Home Prem. on my laptop, and have a question. I am having issues with logging users off via Task Manager. Occasionally my kids will forget to log out of their account. When I try to log them off using Task Manager, I always get the following error: User Boys (SessionID=2) could not be logged off. Access is denied.

Having boot issues by sanctuary6284
I'll go through this as thoroughly as possible. My Kaspersky AV wasn't running properly and I suspected a virus or trojan. I attempted to repair my AV and when that didn't work tried to uninstall and then reinstall. When this failed I figured I would have to do all my fixes in safe mode. I opened msconfig and was disappointed to find that I could not select anything on the boot tab. I restarted...

Incremental Backups: by rq
When you do incremental backups, what happens when you delete a file because you don't want it on your machine and then you do a back up. I assume that file is still within the backupfile and will be reinstalled when and if you do a restore. Is there a simple way of removing files from your backup data so they will not restore. I am particularily thinking of a lot of shareware, 30 trial stuff...

Vista running horrendously slow after clean install. by Neodynamics
Ok, so a few days ago, I installed the Vista Ultimate 64-bit OS. Installation went fine, and it ran great, as I thought it should, I have 3 gigs of ram, and a dual core 2.2 GHZ processor. A few days later, it started getting very slow, laggy, and unresponsive. I decided to just do a clean install of the OS. While I was reinstalling, the installation process went very, very slow. It took almost 3...

PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA + Winload.exe by Noah2315
Alrighty. My computer (Toshiba Satilite, VISTA HOME PREMIUM 32bit...) has crashed recently... It crashed then I restarted it. And it said. "BLAH BLAH BLAH Winload.exe is missing or corrupt". I tried reseting to factory defaults but it didn't work. Soon after that, I changed my BIOS settings and put the cd drive at the top and inserted my Windows Vista Home Premium Installation Disk.

Analyze Disk Fragmentation by Benzmum
Hi. I've just moved over from XP to Vista, and I'm wondering why vista doesn't give me the option of Analyzing whether or not my drive needs defragmenting. I'd do the analysis once a month in XP and it almost always told me it was unnecessary. I'd be grateful if an MVP could respond to my question.

Display won't turn off by John Thomson
For years I have had my display turn off after 10 mins. Now it doesn't. No matter what setting I use it won't turn off. The only time it will do it is after a reboot when if I leave my desktop, the monitor will turn off after 10 mins. When it comes back on though it won't go back to off after 10 mins of no activity. I am at a loss as to why this has stopped working & I can't fix it. Any...

Installing Vista SP2 by TVeblen
My daughter asked me to help her with this update on her Presario laptop, which came pre-loaded with V-SP1. When XP-SP2 came out it was very important to do a bit of prep before installing the service pack: cleaning the system, turning off AV and running progs, etc. Doing so always insured an incident free process and it worked dozens of times for me. Is there a preparation protocol for...

USB port not initiated on boot. by Archquark[_2_]
I used a flash drive to run ReadyBoost. When I attempted to stop the ReadyBoost program it failed to stop ( write protect failure ). I contacted the flash drive manufacturer's support site which stated that the drive's processor chip had failed. When I reboot my computer ( HP Pavilion Elite m9525f ) it now only finds 5 of the 6 USB ports. Is this a result of the flash drive failure or do HP...

SP2 installation failure by Victek
I attempted to install SP2 after it became available on Windows Update, but unfortunately without success. Stage 1 installed fine, but Stage 2 and Stage 3 kept repeating with every reboot. Fortunately I was able to log into the desktop, run System Restore and recover. My system is clean and well maintained. I unloaded all third party apps and disabled AV before installing SP2 - no idea...
