PC's froze this morning
So I have two computers using Vista SP1 and both get turned off every night.
This morning started up the first pc and everything went fine during boot and
log-in. Then when I tried to start an application the p.c froze with the
round "hour-glass" timer showing. Didin't think much of it. I re-booted and
everything was fine. Started up the 2nd p.c. a while later and exactly the
same problem, only this time I went for the "start" menu first and not an
application. Now I think this is quite odd. The same problem on different
p.c.'s on the same day using the same operating system. Re-booted the 2nd
p.c. and again everything is okay. Anyone else have the same problem today? Tag: windows Vista - alter action of plus key Tag: 373069
Windows Live OneCare
I uninstalled (using the removal tool) Norton and installed OneCare on a

example. OneCare sounds like it does it all but I want to be sure and would

Vista Firewall turns itself off....
I'm really at the end of my tether with this issue - have a laptop
which has windows Vista installed. Whenever I boot up the Windows
Firewall is turned on. However, towards the end of the boot process,
the Windows Firewall turns itself off, almost as if when a program
loads it knocks it out. Is there anyway I can do a walk thru' of the
boot up process so I can see if I can capture which program or process
is doing it? At my wits end. Tag: windows Vista - alter action of plus key Tag: 373041
Install vista via Bootable USB drive
Hi
I had a fire a few months back which burnt my Acer T180 case. I've
managed to change the case and get all the parts working again except
the DVD rom which was melted and beyond repair.
As my whole house is wireless I'm not really bothered about getting a
new DVD rom - my other PC controls the network and has a DVD writer
inside. Once vista is installed the network will take care of
everything.
My problem now is how do I reinstall Vista on a PC that has no DVD rom
to read my Vista DVD.
OK I could swap my DVD around for a few hours by its covered in
warranty void stickers and as its new I don't want to risk anything.
Is there anyway to convert a Bootable DVD into a Bootable USB drive?
I've got a 4 Gig stick which should be fine. My motherboard also
boots from USB.
I've managed to make a copy of the vista DVD into ISO image but can't
find a program that will put the ISO onto a USB drive.
Any ideas. Seems a simple enough idea and veyr handy considering the
low price of sticks.

Hello folks,
I have Vista 64 with 4 gigabytes of memory. Vista shows that I have 4
gigabytes of memory in the system properties and welcome screen but my

of memory? I recently installed a Radeon 3870 HD 1 GB graphics card. Could
my GPU could be eating up the rest of the memory. My motherboard is a DFI

are on Network on Device Manager of mt Vista Basic and they are:

Microsoft 6to4 Adapter #7
that leads to :

No update is available and they say it's the best driver, ever...but doesn't

HOW LONG?! Copying files.
I just migrated from Windows XP Pro to Vista Ultimate (64bit). So far
things have run *fairly* smoothly, but I am astonished at the length of time
it is taking for me to copy files.
For instance I want to copy 1/2 dozen folders from my "D" partition to my
"C" partition (drag & drop using Windows Explorer - both partitions are
NTFS, and I get the same result copying files on the same partition too).
These files existed on my previous XP install, and when I copied them from D
to C on XP it took around 2 minutes or so. Now the exact same files are
taking upwards of 25+ minutes to copy in Vista!
Is there some reason why Vista is acting like a decrepit 90 year old? :-)

Need codecs
This may be OT - if so sorry.
In my playing with Vista Ultimate, I have encountered a problem trying
to play some avi and mov files, using WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER CLASSIC
(mplayerc.exe).
I keep getting an error window, saying I probably need certain codecs
that I do not have installed. Is there an easy way to determine
exactly what codecs are needed? That is, is there a utility that will
diagnose that information so that I can then seek it or them on the
web? I have tried downloading a few so-called 'codec packs', but
apparently none have had the needed codec(s), and the problem
persists.

Every left click or highlight prompts delete function in Vista
I've come across an annoying bug with Vista, occassionally when I left click

The bug is unpredictable and happens and then goes away.
I will just be working left click and the permission dialog to delete pops up.
Left click NO on the permission dialog recalls the delete function and
starts a vicions loop that seems to fail after a large number of NO clicks
It also seems to occur when a higlight is made to select a menu item.

I cannot disable subtitles in TV. My version of Vista Ultimate doesn't have

need to scan disk after blue screen?
Sometimes the PC will blue screen or even reboot itself due to HDTV
recording or power outage... just wonder nowadays, if no scan disk is
done after that, can we keep on using the computer without further
damaging the existing files? Supposedly, it may be better to do a
"scan and repair" for the whole drive after that, so that it is back
to "normal"... but for a big drive, like 750GB, it can take a couple
of hours...
so I wonder for the modern OS, will it be smart to save files in a way
that when the computer blue screen or reboot, no scan disk is needed
to prevent further damage to files? (such as saving a new file and
that will cover up an old file or part of an old file). Thanks very
much! Tag: windows Vista - alter action of plus key Tag: 372772

Can't click and drag
Hi,
I've been having an issue with this for a bit now and I've exhausted my
knowledge of troubleshooting. I'm hoping this isn't some stupid fix or
something that is the precursor to something really bad, so here goes.
I was trying to enqueue some of my music collection a while back and found
that I could not click and drag to highlight multiple files. Okay, thought it
was something wrong with my mouse, so I tried a shift+click.. nothing. Just
selected the file I clicked on and nothing else. Ctrl+click does the same
thing, just one file. This only seems to happen when I'm in my music folder
or a data cd. Pictures, documents, other files are no problem. Just my music
and data cds. My music was copied from a storage hard drive, but I don't
think that should make a difference as so were my pictures and other files.
Oh, background.. I'm using Vista Home Premium. And not that I think it
matters, but I have 2 gb of ram a 250gb harddrive, and a 2.6ghz dual-core AMD
processor.
Now, while it's not a huge concern, it just annoys me to no end. Any help is
greatly appreciated. Tag: windows Vista - alter action of plus key Tag: 372738
