After a BSOD occured I've managed to get the minidump file. Unfortunately I have no idea what should be blamed for the BSOD based on the minidump analysis in this case. Can anyone help? yaro KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M (1000008e) This is a very common bugcheck. Usually the exception address pinpoints the driver/function that caused the problem. Always note this address

I sometimes get a popup that says Runtime Error with a line number. It asks if I want to Debug, but if I check yes nothing happens. Is anyone familiar with this?

Hi I've looked around the communities for one that will support windows 7 Public Beta but don't see one so I would like to see if I can get some help in this Vista community. My question is quite basic and is with regard to the Event Viewer and clearing the various logs contained in it. All of the logs have a "Clear Log" option and I can clear all of these logs

I want to create a ReadyBoost on a RAMDisk (manually) in Windows Vista Ultimate 0x32 bit, for this I did the following things - Set the registry value for this device at the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\EMDMgmt\"Corresponding device Name" as -- CacheSizeInMB = 0x0000010e (270) -- CacheStatus =...

A Vista Home Premium, SP1 Compaq notebook was infected by FunWebProducts adware and it was removed using MalwareBytes and SuperAntiSpyware. Prior to removal, Scroll bars didn't work, combo-boxes (like in ALL Programs) and Drop-down boxes -- all were "unstable" or just flat didn't work. Also, backspace key was ignored. Had to use mouse to select text and over-type it.. The symptoms have not...

I have read through several posts regarding defragmentation problems and I haven't been able to locate an answer to my problem specifically, so I figured I would try to explain and see if someone knows of a solution. I have had my laptop for a little over a year, and I don't know if it has ever been defragmented. I used to have it on a schedule, to defrag once a week. I recently took that off...

Hello, i've put the finishing touches on a HTPC... with Vista 64. I'm getting a BSOD... after about 5 minutes every time. Doesn't matter what program i'm running, or if it's just doing nothing. I've run Memtest overnight, nothing there. Updated the BIOS and every single driver. Done the reinstall numerous times, put video cards in different slots, swapped the RAM, formatted hard drives,...

Hello, I'm about to get a new PC and install Vista x64 on it. The problem is that I'm only gonna get 4GB RAM now, and other 8GB later (in a week or so). Is there any difference between installing whole 12GB at once, or 4GB now and adding 8GB later ... Thanks! P.s.: I think it shouldn't make any difference, I just want to be sure

Well, I thought I had gotten rid of my BSOD, alas. Acouple of days ago I had the BSOD come up, further down I have detailed what the screen said. The problem now is that when I turn the computer on, it goes thru the normal sequence, yadahyadah, then it gets to the screen where all the icons are present on the desktop and ready for use - a couple of seconds later BSOD and this happens all...

Hi, Why does my C drive have a hybernate file (2GB file) when I never put my computer into hybernate? How do I delete this file? I am running Vista.

Vista HP Can not back up or restore. Message says MediaID.bin is missing. Have not found a fix for this. Microsoft sites says call support. Can anyone help?

Just as the title implies, and im sure most of you already know how lackluster the vista defrag is. I want to see how much of an improvement defragging is making, but vista somehow left out this important part. I've read jfdefrag was good, but this tool is a 1 click auto go kinda thing, and performs defragging on all hard drives. I know it has some commandline tricks that will allow it to change...

I have an installation of Vista Business and the "windows" folder is about 12GB. Is this normal or is there a way to cut this down? And what in the heck does Vista need 12GB for? Thanks in advance! -- Jason Michel

I'm using Vista Ultimate x86. I saw a message first saying that 'mmci.dll' was corrupted at the end of setup. I've tried reinstalling from another copy of the dvd but the issue persists (perhaps both my dvds were corrupted?). In any case, I wish to know if I can fix this using 'sfc' or similar tools. For that I would need a good copy of the 'mmci.dll' file. Can anyone please point to me how to...

I have a problem with the shortcut icons on the desktop, as they suddenly changed to this icon that indicates that windows doesn't recognize the type of the file although the programs work normally, Any ideas, http://www.geocities.com/mazen_zone/untitled.jpg] --

I have a Dell Inspiron 530s purchased 5/08. I upgraded from Vista to Vista Ultimate. I recently tried to install the Windows 7 Beta and received a message that it could not identify my drives and I could not download the program.

Hi! I'm new to this forum and I'm currently having some problems with my system. I'm currently using a Dell Inspiron 1521. I've grown sick of Hibernation mode (my computer would take seven minutes to come out of hibernate), and I looked online for a solution. I found a website that advised me to enter command prompt as administrator and type powercfg -H off. I did so. Now whenever I close the...

I am the only one that accesses my computer and I am the administrator. When I turn on my lap top I have two icons on the log on screen. Both icons are identical (same name, same password, same picture). No matter which one I click on I will get to the same desktop however, sometimes depending on which one I click, I may or may not be the administrator. How can I delete the extra one? Please...
