After downloading some recent updates the computer asks me to reboot in order to install them. I restart the computer and the message appears again so I assumed it needed several restarts.

I know this question keeps coming up but I have yet to find a solution. Basically my Vista screensavers reset to nothing everytime I reboot my machine. I can preview them, I can set a time and it works once I "apply" it. But as soon as I turn off the machine and then reboot it has reset to nothing, and I have to set it again to get it to work. This is quite annoying. I do not have any wireless...

Hi everyone, I've recently upgraded to a new PC with Vista installed, I've been using XP Professional for a few years and pretty much know the operating system inside out, my knowledge of Vista however is fairly good, but far from what I would call in-depth. After spending a fair amount of time reviewing the backup and restore options within Windows Vista, I'm left scratching my head wondering...

All malware and virus scans come up clean. Could this update be the problem?

How can I determine what service is tieing up my computer? I am running Vista Home Premium, x64 w/Quad CPU. At various times, the computer will begin disk operations which completely tie up the computer; CPU use is minimal but response time drops to 30-45 seconds at best. There are no user applications running. The only things I can think of is the indexing service or, perhaps, a background...

I increased the RAM on my Compaq Presario SR2002X from 512M to 2G (both old and new are the same speed, PC2-4200). Both the BIOS Setup and the System dialog in the Control Panel show that they are using the new memory. As expected, a variety of things run faster now. In particular, all those security dialogs that come up and dim the desktop whenever you start some system maintenance process. ...
