Hi. I've been experiencing this problem for a little while now and (i'm not sure if this is the right forum but please direct me the right direction if it's not) it didn't occur long after I got Windows Vista. Anyways, When ever I attempt to do File Save As or Open the dialog will pop up and then will cause the program that I did this in to hang and it will no longer respond. I have 3...

When I go to "Favorites all the folders are there. Once a folder is opened & I select a favorite it will not work. Favorites was working 2 days ago, but not now. I have done a "reset" to a previous date, but did nothing to help. -- bajanet

It seems like it's impossible to disable the Task Scheduler service in Windows Vista. It keeps launching tasks without my permission, and constantly freezes any applications that I have open. Why did Microsoft make it incredibly easy to disable Task Scheduler in Windows XP, but not Windows Vista? I don't get it. Is there a way to completely prevent it from taking control of my PC? --...

I just build a new computer and installed Vista Home Premium (64 bit). I only have one hard drive (640 GB). I've added a few applications and music and pictures from an external HD. I checked my disk usage last night and it said I had used 195 GB! I got that by right clicking on the C drive and then properties. I noticed I had a Windows.old directory and manually deleted it then emptied...

Hi, A while back, I had a power failure. My machine is on a UPS and when the battery got low, it started to hibernate. I think the UPS must have failed all the way before the hibernation finished. I don't know this for sure because I was away from my computer when this happened. When I got back and powered up the machine, it would start to come out of hibernation and then freeze. I found...

I just started noticing this recently (in the past week or 2?) but if I lock my computer (does it with Win+L or startlock computer) and close the lid it unlocks itself. :S I tried googling it but either this is a new issue (unlikely) or I'm just not wording it right because I found nada. I have tried waiting until it locks, clicking on a user account and closing it when it asks for a password,...

Hi everyone, I just built my new PC just last week, and one way or another, my start menu is very sluggish.

When I hover over a program or a folder in the menu, it also takes 1-2 seconds to...

Hey peeps, Here's the problem I have; While installing Vista x64 Ultimate, I encounter a blue screen, it doesn't give me any particular information other than every other one I get "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" (which I'm guessing is a hardware issue). The full stop message I tend to get is this "0x0000007E (0xFFFFFFFFC0000005, 0xFFFFF800185DB11, 0xFFFFF980012D9E58, 0xFFFFF980012D9830)" - Could...

Hi, I just searched the vista forums through a 100 different results, and have found no answer to my problem. Let me describe the problem first: The Start Button (Orb) in Vista does not respond to prompt, neither left click nor keyboard button. However I can right click the Orb and receive the pop up menu. I can change the Menu to 'Classic' and then it will work, but am unable to change it...
