Vista Complete PC Backup (0x80780048) Not Enough Space? by Steve Mavronis
I'm running Vista Ultimate 32bit and I'm trying to do another Complete PC Backup to an external 500gb USB drive and I'm getting error (0x80780048) due to not enough free space left on the backup drive. The screen before says, if there is not enough free space it will start deleting prior backups starting with the oldest. This does not seem to be the case as advertised! I do scheduled regular...

Game Installations Keep Stalling! by millhouse
Whenever I try to install a game (Crysis, Supreme Commander, Civ IV, take your pick) from a DVD (or by running an image of the DVD I created through Daemon Tools) the installation will run for about 5 minutes and then, inexplicably, stop working. No error message will appear, nor does vista regard the program as "not responding", it simply goes quiet and no more files are copied/installed. Any...

Flight Simulator 2004 freezing by David Hays
I am having some problems with my FS2004. I will be able to fly for sometime and then "ALL" of Vista will just lock up. It only happens with this game. I have 3 GB ram and a ATI Radeon 9600 pro but this always worked good in winXP. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make it not freeze up?? I dont have any addon scenery installed and i have tried deleting my fs9.cfg.

My "Graphics" and "Gaming Graphics" ratings are both 1.0. What do I need to do to increase them? I also get a warning message when trying to play any games that reads: "Hardware acceleration is either disabled or not supported by your video card driver, which could slow game performance.

Games won't open by blazergirl
My 3 year old was playing "Purble Place" and accidentally opened several windows and had quite a few things up on the screen. We don't have an internet connection yet, so there isn't a risk of viruses, etc. But, ever since this happened only "Ink Ball" will open. The other games appear to still be on the computer (icons, info regarding them, etc) but nothing will open to play. Any tips...
