Major change in performance (for the better) can anyone tell me why? by Danno[_2_]
I have one of those Windows Sidebar Gadgets that show core usage (2), and RAM usage. Recently it changed dramatically for the better. Previously, both cores operated at 40% plus. They never dropped below the 40% threshold. Now, the cores run very low sometimes they are both at 5%, _rarely_ spiking to 100% seldom. RAM, however, has changed inversely. Previously, it never dropped below 50%,...

There has been only one application installed on the computer, but is...

USB Flash Drive Memory by Diane K[_2_]
When I insert my new 2GB Crucial USB flash drive in the slot, I choose ReadyBoost. But a dialog box appears saying "This device does not have the required performance characteristics for use in speeding up your system." Does anyone know why I'm getting that message? What am I missing? Thanks so much. Diane

Event Viewer - How To Read ? by Andre U
I am having issues with Vista taking 2+ minutes to boot up to logon. Looking in the Diagnostics-Performance section in the Event Viewer, I have many errors with Task Categories of System Performance Monitoring, Boot Perf Monitoring and Shutdown Perf Monitoring. Viewing the details tells me nothing about what is wrong or where to start looking. I was hoping to see a service or program causing...

ultimate backup error: file already exists by Chris Cowles
I'm trying to back up from Vista Ultimate to a share on a networked Linksys NSLU2 I named NAS1. The share is 'backup'. Backup can browse to the folder at which point I get a userid/pw prompt. After completing login to NAS1, Vista backup consistently fails because "Cannot create a file when that file already exists. (0x80070087)". When I look in the share directory, there's a new subdirectory...
