Error Code by toneywho
I have a new computer, a HP Pavilion a6567c. Every time I try to do a Vista update I get the following error code: 80070005, and I cannot install this update: HP Bus Controllers and Ports, Display software update released in May, 2007. HP says it's no concern of theirs and MS sends me on a chase that leads to me finding this is a common error code but no common fix. Every thing I try...

System reliability by Bigblubber
Like several of the posts here I am experiencing random BSOD's and heavy CPU and Disk load. I also get a lot of random error/warning messages in event viewer usually linked to drivers/services/applications slow to respond. My computer is an HP with Vista home premium and dual core processor and I must say it runs ok apart from the occasional BSOD and " app stopped working ", although shutdown is...

Every time my Dell 1420 wakes up I need to reset the screen resolution from low to high. I click apply and say yes when asked if I want to keep the new settings. Why won't the resolution stick?

Edit items in "Right Click / New" by v_2dfitt
Where in the registry is the section on what is displayed when you right click and choose NEW? I've got a ton of items in there that I don't want and it takes forever to open up. I've gone to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers (seems that's the place to go) but it's empty and doesn't show all the items in the list. I searched here but couldn't find what I was looking for. Thanks...

I have a problem with Vista, when I select a file or icon, the surrounding light blue line is almost imperceptible, is there a way to darken and make it more visible? Thanks in advance of any replies.

Page loading problems by my_realtor
We have evacuated so I'm not in my own area with my own provider. I am on a military base in Bossier City. LA on Barksdale AFB in their family campground, which does have Wi-Fi, or as they have on their paper work YiFi. Their provider I'm using for my connection is QOLNET.

out of memory error by Andy Fish
Hi I have a laptop with 2gb RAM running vista and I currently have the page file disabled (that's another story). I have just had a message saying windows is running low on memory and I need to close some applications (even though i'm hardly running anything) when I look at task manager, I can see about 300mb used by running applications, but 1200mb is used for the cache

Outlook Not closing SOLVED by Frenchy
Well, if you long and hard enough you find a solution. Many people have been tracking why Outlook doesn't close after you apparently close it, yet if you open Task Manager, you see Outlook.exe still in the running processes. Turns out, if you have Skype running in the tray, then there is a default View in the Skype Menu that has "Show Outlook Contacts" and this keeps Outlook open as a Task...

Windows Performance Index RAM scores by admuh
Hi, I'm just wondering how the 2x 1GB 5-5-5-18 2T DDR2-4200(Scores 5.9) in my mums computer scores more than my 4x1GB 4-3-3-10 1T DDR2-6400(Scores 5.4). The timings have made no difference to the score when I have changed them and I can play modern games perfectly. Could it be due to my processor(Core 2 Duo Quad) or my motherboard(Fatal1ty IN-9 SLI)? An overall rating of 5.4 for my computer...

I use Vista Home Premium SP1. Vista seems to load (log in to user account) followed by desktop being populated. All taskbars in place. But nothing works - left/right click or keyboard. Message (after a gray screen) - Windows not responding, end process/cancel. End process results in all desktop items and taskbars disappearing. Switching computer off and rebooting works sometimes, but often a...

How can I identify a possible memory leak? by Chris
I'm finding that after using my PC (running Vista Ultimate SP1) for a few days, I'm unable to launch certain larger programs; i.e., Excel 2007, Word 2007, etc. When I attempt to launch Excel, I get an 'EXCEL.EXE is not a valid Win32 application' error. When I attempt to launch Word, nothing appears to happen. Task Manager reveals that WINWORD.EXE loads and then immediately unloads.

SPAMFighter on Vista x64 by Brian C[_2_]
I've been using the SPAMFighter program with Outlook Express on my XP machine for several months and have found it to be excellent. I decided to purchase a second license for use with my Vista x64 machine and stupidly did not notice that the program isn't supported for a 64-bit OS. I've apparently wasted $25 on a program I can't use, but before I call it a complete loss I was wondering if...
