I feel for you my friend. I built a new pc in february, bought vista 32 bit home premium, first it was active x, then java, then I downloaded and installed adobe acrobat to view files online, installing adobe was a real pain. I kept getting a message they it was in a temporary folder thats not accessable or is on another drive ( only one hard disk was connected). I have had to re-install vista on my new pc 13 times before figiuring that adobe is the very first thing I need to install before all else. Then there's macromedia flash player.. that was a bitch to get running. I installed it, but no video files would play. Finally got it working. Then there's active x controls... those were so messed up I couldn't do anything in IE 7. If Microsoft is going to charge $300 for this piece of crap OS, they need to include things like Macromedia flash player, adobe, microsoft works, java, and such with the OS. They also only offer 90 day free help, a new pc always comes with at least a year of manufacturers services, after which you pay them for an extended warranty or fix problems yourself. I think with any new OS a year is a sufficient amount of time for customers to continue to get support until the kinks have been worked out. Microsoft Windows Vista is garbage.

A beautiful grabage...

i have had problems installing adobe acrobat reader on my vista computer, any help out there?

to rocki start a new thread and put the error ode in the thread.

Right first valuable lesson learnt never install freeware.

Have you tried booting into safe mode and trying system resotre from there to do this press f8 when the comp is booting and it will come up.

If not insert the vista cd go past the first screen language selction then on the second screen is the repair option.

Try system restore from there and also fix start up problems.

Right DfrgNtfs.exe, is windows defrag running when your computer is idle sort of a self cleaning process to rearnage your files to make your comp quick.

Go to start then type defrag and open if it is scheulded disable it.

If this doest work then.....

To disable it go to start then type REGEDIT

Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Dfrg\BootOptimizeFunction

Change the value of the key "Enable" from Y to N


Let me know how u get on dont know about windows screensavers but you could try going to add remove programs then windows features unistall them reboot then reinstall them if thats an option!
