I have Vista 64 Ultimate running and was doing great for about three months now it is really slow. I open windows mail now and it takes a good while even when I hit create mail it is slow. I did check out the event viewer and do see on error and one critical message. How do I fix/ resolve these messages to see if this fixes my issue of a slow pc? Thanks

I have never been able to backup this Vista PC (Dell Inspiron E1505) to DVD using Windows backup and Restore. Each attempt fails after a few minutes with an error message that reads "the parameter is incorrect Ox80070057". I have tried multiple blank DVDs and enabling and starting the Windows Shadow Copy service (a suggestion seen on this forum). Has anyone experienced this and better...

Good evening! I've installed Vista x64 Business a few days ago and have encountered severe problems with viewing video files as .mpeg, .avi, divx;... When I try to watch them on the 32 or 64 bit Media Player the picture stops after a few seconds and the other time the sound turns into noise. I've tried to install the Vista Codec Pack and the x64 Components codecs from http://shark007.net/

The disc check finishes stage 1 but stops at stage 2 at 62% everytime. Then the computer takes me to the login screen. I have also noticed that some of the stuff on my desktop is gone. Also my computer sometimes freezes and I am thinking that it has something to do with the disc check problem. I tried to restore the files but it didnt let me because my C drive was corrupted or something and i...

Hi all, Not sure if this is the right place but I am depressed to solve this sudden problem. My windows update is scheduled every Sunday midnight. Now I woke up today and found the laptop has already restarted after the updates. I logged in and everything is weird, the font is set to "LCD" font and

When trying to restore the computer from a system image backup, I read where I can hit F8 at startup to "restore using the pre-installed recovery optons". Unfortunately, there is no "Repair your computer" option on the Advanced Boot Options when using F8. How do I install Vista so as to have the "pre-installed recovery options" available when using F8 at boot up?

Hi all ...... I have had IE for many years now from IE 3, to IE7 with Vista. I have always used other browsers but liked IE browsers also. The biggest reason I don't like IE browsers is that the favorites are not displayed in alphabetical order! Does any one know how to do this? "Or is it just the way it is! " I usually have a ton of favorites and when I go to click on a sight I saved in...

I'm posting this in a few places, so hopefully someone far smarter than I will run across it. I'm at my wits' end and I can't get any assistance from Microsoft or Toshiba on a two-week-old notebook! Here goes: 1) Two or three times, I've gotten a blue screen. The stop error message is pfn_list_corrupt. Vista shuts down and pretty much restarts itself normally. When the boot option menu...

Dell Inspron 518 with Vista home prem. My Help and support pages are missing some icons but not all of them. The pages display correctly and where the icon is missing there is print to show the link and the link works fine. This is not much of a concern but a little cheep looking! I read HTML script, and looked at the source code, and, the src. for the icons, and they seem to be...

Hi all... I'm having problems with a client running Windows Vista backup. Their external backup drive to which Vista is backing up data is filling up. Is there any way to tell Vista to "groom" the data, removing older data to keep the drive afloat? Or, is there way to have Vista completely reset the entire backup set on a regular schedule? Thank you!

Vista Home prem. 32 bit In WinXP the animated pictures would play in what XP called Windows Picture and Fax viewer. Now Vista has what it calls Windows Photo Gallery but the animated pictures don't move, i.e. play! It displays them as a still photo. I would think its for some safety reason? lol....... If anybody knows anything about this please reply, thank you. ...Rob

Hi all, I have Vista Prem. on my new Dell Inspron 518 and a 650GB hard drive. Dell ships with a partition for Recovery, installed on the drive. I was just wondering as I checked the space used for System Restore; it showed 82GB used space with 87GB reserved space for System Restore. I read all about System Restore for Vista and this seems right, percentage wise, for the size of the...

Hello, I accidentally turned by computer off during a Vista update (when it says Do NOT turn your computer off). Now, only about half the services start, Explorer won't run, Live One Care won't start (I get a window saying it cannot start) and I can't open Control Panel . I tried a System Restore but the same problems persist. At this point I just want to get all my data off and reinstall...

Hello everyone. I just got my new pc for 2 days, and I cannot connect to the internet using my router, but it can get on the net if it is connected directly to the modem. I know there's nothing wrong with the connection and router because my old pc (5 yrs old window XP) and laptop both use the same router and have no problem at all. While the old one is connecting to the web, the new one...

Every time I log in, after a few seconds, this globe-like icon appears on my clock bar, and the bar freezes, including the menu. I can´t open anything, I can´t even change between opened software. The only thing that works is whatever program I´m running, which I can continue to use with no problem, but once I´m done, I have to signout the user to be able to turn it off. I press ctrl+alt+del, and...
