Hey guys , So I have Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit on my laptop. Just recently the "Corrupt File" pop up started coming up for almost every program that I try to open.

So basically all the programs that was in installed in the 64...

Not sure what changed, but now it can take about 4-minutes to shut down vista. In the event log is shows that there is an issue, but linking to Microsoft says it doesn't know what the problem is.

Of all the programs I use in Vista, Adobe Acrobat Pro is the one that performs the worst. Frequently while editing a file the application window goes into the "twilight zone" with the entire appliction window becoming fuzzy and unresponsive sometimes for as long as 30 seconds. It does not completely hang, and eventually responds. This happens on at least 3 different machines. All have Quad...

You may remember the issue when dual booting Vista and XP where all of the restore points would get deleted because of System Restore incompatibilities between the OSs. Currently I'm dual booting Vista and Windows 7. I use System Commander and to be safe I have hidden the partition of the non-active OS (in other words Vista cannot see the Win7 partition and Vice Versa). I wonder though if...

I have two fairly new (14 months and 10 months) Dell Inspiron 530 desktops. Both run Vista Home Premium 32-bit. Not networked. The only hardware differences between the two is in the processor and ram - one is a core 2 duo with 2 GB ram; the other is a core 2 quad with 4 GB ram. The quad, right from the start, has always been quick to shut down - about 12 seconds after the Shutting Down...

I am new here but I have a problem with Vista Ultimate 32bit, I try to create a complete back image but the scan for drives never ceases. I allowed it to run overnight and it just kept scanning.

Hi guys Looking for some answers . I have Vista Ultimate , I have x64 installed at the present time . I noticed under C: it lists two program files folders , one just plain Program Files (which I presume is the x64 bit folder) one Program Files x86 (which is what it says I presume) The x86 folder is 1.55 gig and the other Program Files Folder (Which I asume is x64) is only 900 MGB .

I just finished installing and setting up Vista x64 Ultimate. I have 4 Gigs of Ram that I want to utilize. It is installed and recognized by the computer. So my question is this: How do I know for sure that my new OS is using all the available RAM? The reason I ask is that when I was running 32bit Vista, my ram meters said I was using approx 33% of my ram. Now that I have 64bit, my ram meters...

Everything appears to be fine on my machine, the computer detects my speakers, it's not on mute, the volume is turned up, and when I play any audio it even shows the sound levels on the sound bar but nothing is coming out of my speakers. If I...
