I have four different copmuters, all running a DG965OT intel procesor with a Core2 chip. Two have Vista HP and two have Ultimate. All four are having the same problem. When I turn the computer on there is a 30 second lag between when the Bios spash screen show to when the first boot device is attempted(in this case it is the CD drive). There is then a 4 to 5 min pause before the vista...

I have found lots of references to the fact that "Adaptive display" lets windows dynically adjust the timeout to turn off the display if a user quickly touches a key or button to get the screen back on just after timeout. However, that is all quite vague. I have seen others post related questions on various web sites and never get an answer. Can anyone explain for all of us: 1. Are these...

All I get is "Rate and Improve your computer's performance", with "Not sure how to start?" below, and "Learn how to improve...

I have Vista Business installed and have changed various things to have Vista start and close quicker. It takes approx. 2½ minutes from I start my machine until Vista is fully loaded. But after that the hard drive is running constantly, which means it takes a long time to execute e.g. Excel. Can someone tell me what I can do about that?

Hello there, I've created a Windows Complete PC Backup of my new laptop. Now a few days later I want to actualize it, but when click on Back up computer in Backup and Restore Center a window opens with message - Looking for backup devices and it stays like that, nothing happens. I can cancel it but I want to create a backup. What should I do? Is there a solution? Thanks in advance!

We have posed this question before, but continue to experience the problem despite some prior recommendations that have not resolved the issue. Please note the following: 1. We have used 'Disk Cleanup' to remove all but the...

I installed a Windows update on Monday--the laptop was running beautifully before then, not so much now. It randomly freezes up and I can't apparently uninstall the update. Also, it's not creating or keeping restore points. I just found out a registry cleaner is bad, so I won't be doing that again, but how on earth do I figure out what is causing the problem? :cry: --

Hi, I recently built myself a PC and installed Vista on it. Everything worked fine. Then i ended up doing a full re-format and re-install. Ever since then Vista has been hanging at boot.

Now it hangs on a black screen after the loading bar, my...
