I wonder if anyone can help me, I'm running vista home premium 32bit. I don't know the best way to describe it so bare with me. Sometimes when i'm using a programme everything will load correctly, but all of a sudden the screen goes black, then comes back on again but the top bar (where the X button & the minimise button is) has gone light blue instead of the black style that the programme...

Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 with 4gb memory I have as my cursor 3D Bronze pointer. I went inside Control Panel/Mouse, chose Pointer Tab, Work in background and changed the icon to icon of drum beating. In the preview window, I can see the drum beating. When I press OK and exit.

We recently had a need to replace a hard disk. Our original files were all backed up with Windows Vista Backup. The backup process produced no errors and appeared to complete successfully. However, when we restored the backup to the new hard drive, we found that there were many missing files. To this point, it appears that the missing files are all .EXE files. In many cases, all the...

My chkdsk.exe wouldn't run on startup, because after running the...

I have windows vista home premium. It was updating fine until today when it stopped working after I deleted the webcam drivers that were stopping windows from starting correctly. Now every time it connects to look for updates, it searches for ages then comes up with the message 'windows could not search for new updates. error code 80072F78' I have searched everywhere for a solution to this...

Howdy all you Guru's, I have 4 vista 32 bit machines. 1 will update beautifully. When I go to run the Windows update, the other 3 "time out". They sit there with a blank box on the screen for well over 5 minutes, before in sheer frustration, I trash it. I know at least 1 machine is saying it has 350Mb of downloads to do, but when I tell it to start, it does nothing. All are running...

Hi, I installed Vista after my XP became corrupt (long story...). Have noticed that it's using 510-560 MB RAM at idle! I have a total of 1024 RAM. If I get a 4GB ready boost compatible USB/flash card will it make a difference or is it a waste of money and only to be used if Vista is chewing up more than 1024 MB? Thanks.

Hi I recently noticed that I cannot get my screen saver to work aside from the picture slide show on my acer laptop.

I had my external hard drive stolen this week when someone broke into my car. The hard drive had all of my work on a project I've been doing for work for the last 2 1/2 months. Everything is lost. Most of the files were at least partially created or editted on my laptop which has Windows Vista. I've heard that Vista may make copies of documents accessed on your computer. Is this true?? If...

If I reload vista from scratch, hyperthreading is enabled and works. Benchmarks much better. I really don't want to have to reinstall from
