I am running Vista Home Premium and my calendar on the sidebar has suddenly stopped working correctly. I used to have a selection as to how the calendar would appear but now it comes up one way and will not change. Does anyone have a work around for this. Looked on Microsoft but didn't see anything.

My wife's HP laptop had Vista running with Avast antivirus. Recently, internet connection has stopped responding. Googling reveals this is a result of an Avast bug. She uninstalled Avast, problem won't go away. Tried all the fixes. Seems to have corrupted something in Vista. I don't see any way to "repair" Vista. How can I do a repair installation (like I do for Office corruptions or on...

I have had little trouble runing Vista. In fact I kind of like it. Just recently upon awakening from sleep my desktop screen comes on normally for a couple seconds then it goes to black for a couple seconds then returns to normal. This has not caused any problems yet. Is there something I can do to "rebuild" Vista? Is this an operating system or a hardware issue? Daily I run Disk Cleanup,...

This problem is driving me nuts. I've searched this forum and everywhere else I can and tried many ideas with no help. I have a Gateway Tablet PC which originally came with Windows XP Tablet edition. I upgraded it to Vista Home Premium a long time ago (2 years?) and have had no problems, except for the lousy video chip that the laptop has. I decided to upgrade the ram from 1 GB to 2 GB, so...

Upon turning on my laptop with Vista Home Premium SP1 32 bit. I am unable to do anything. Everything on the desktop is stretched. Unable to connect to the internet. Below is the message shown: Connection Status unknown. The dependency service or group failed to start. Ran a check and found corrupt files.

Hello, I had completely restarted/erased my hard drive, and when I reloaded everything (after a couple of tries) I kept getting the message that the system couldn't find "hidecmd.exe" after bringing up the cmd screen. It also didn't install some of the drivers correctly, but I got that fixed, just the cmd. HELP!!! Thanks!!

Hello. I'm Don and I'm a newbie. I'm not sure if this is where I should post this or not, but here goes. This past weekend vista froze up on me. I had to reinstall vista. All was going great until I go to send a email with a video attacment. The attatchment was 7MB. It would get to the end of sending it then the screen went black, then a bluescreen flashed with a bunch of text. It flashes too...

Vista backup and restore is setup to automatically create a backup every Friday night at 9:00 PM to an external disk. After a month I no longer need some of the older backup files so I deleted two via windows explorer because there is no way that I've found to delete old backup files using the backup and restore center. Now when I go into the restore files (advanced) screen that list...

Hi all, I have a HP laptop that is a C2D 1.86Ghz which is almost 2 years old, has 3gigs ram and the hard drive on it still had around 50gigs free. I normally set the virtual memory manually but because the machine is slowing down badly decided to put it all back to auto for a test. It appears to have helped a little so it remains on Windows automatically deciding what is best for now though...

Hello, I'm running Vista Ultimate 32 bit. Recently I started having a strange problem with the backup. If I run a backup (either native Vista backup or the third party, like Acronis), the PC freezes almost immediately, and stays this way, so I have to manually restart it. The Vista native backup gives me this message: The creation of a shadow copy has timed out.

My customer has been doing (I believe) an incremental backup through the Vista Backup software to an external drive. (Vista Home Premium - HP Pavilion Desktop) The source computer is corrupt, even after the customer used Windows System Restore, so I've slaved the external to a clean Vista Machine. I've selected Advanced Restore - Files from a backup made on a different computer. Any...
