Other option is to wait for Server 2008, which obviously won't have this issue, and of course x64 option

What order did you load the drivers? You have to remember that certain drivers need to be loader before others (for example chip set and turbeo cache need to be loaded before ANYTHING else - including before GPU drivers - or else will fail. Wireless DRIVERS before either wireless console …

One of two possible files (without a FULL file extension can't lock down for sure) [list] [*]Temp Word files - safe to remove if not being wiped on close of Word [*]A shadow copy (ever notice most file properties in Vista have a "previous versions" tab. This relates to shadow …

May sound like a silly question, but is the network you're tying to hook into password protected?? Vista won't allow you to connect to a network or networked PC that isn't PW protected, just as a safety measure. Also, if you are using a NAT device, you're going to likely …

To be honest, without knowing what OS make and edition is running on [I]your[/I] PC, this question is actually unanswerable. For starters, lower end builds of Vista, as well as XP Home, are lacking the Domain Login capabilities to even initiate Remote Desktop connection to another machine. Simply put, need …

Have been hunting for a while, but keep coming up trumps. Am getting sick and tired of being limited to a 32-bit browser with the extra load it put on a x64 OS by one lousy plugin that's over-inserted itself into the market, all because the dev (Adobe) can't seem …

[QUOTE=gunny;912868]The problem is that they all try to start at once (slowing down your boot up time) and they stay running (eating up your memory).[/QUOTE] In XP and earlier this was the case, but not so much in Vista or Win7, which tend to prevent that. They randomised the process …

[QUOTE=Salem;915350]Sure, just get as much detail from the properties as you can, then do a search for "driver + OS + whatever you know about the device" Download things which look promising, then put them on a CD / USB / floppy and see if anything installs.[/QUOTE] NOT the best …

Vista HP does come with the one-language limitation from memory - only the high-end builds supported it. Given that you just bought it, you should be eligible for the discounted Win7 > then upgrade to Win7 Ultimate (the only build to support MultiLingual User Interface) or Pro for localised language …

[QUOTE=janda6;915454]i'm running vista home premium and office 2007 enterprise and want to add the use of a fax, can anyone help cheers[/QUOTE] Home Premium lacks the native fax support found in higher SKU's, and unfortunately most 3rd party apps won't work without that service. The only fax app I've ever …

Ummmm, you do realise a "restore disk" does not contain a copy of Vista?? A restore disk is used to allow the copy of Windows installed on a hidden partition as if it were an actual disk. A fresh HDD would not have this partition (unless specifically sold to you …

It actually doesn't sound like a major issue. Along the way, Vista (and seeing this a little in Win7 as well), Windows has changed a couple of times over, the way AV's/Anti-malware apps and suites report back to Windows to let the system to advise all is updated (both in …

[QUOTE=jbennet;913292]No it doesnt. NTFS is a filesystem, not the name of the windows NT kernel. You can use *Windows NT* (The operating system) with a multitude of filesystems (e.g FAT)[/QUOTE] Have to concur here... NTFS is not the NT kernel, it is a file system which, although reportedly initially implemented …

I have to concur with Xlphos - we need more info on the issue. Is it simply crashing after a period of time, or has it crashed to the point of complete boot failure?? What OS and OS build (ie, Home premium, or Ultimate, XP home or Pro??) Does it …

Looking at one of two possibilities: a) Faulty wireless adapter drivers (early released drivers were often patched-up XP drivers, know to have compatibility issues). Download drivers from link below (select OS) and install, running the installer as Admin [url]http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Product_Filter.aspx?ProductID=3062&lang=eng[/url] b) Other [I]less likely scenario[/I] is that power spikes are effecting …

Actually sounds like a driver issue. Although nVidia has recently released notebook drivers (till now supplied only through the OEM), would more inclined to recommend link below, as ppl are still seeing bugs in the official nVidia releases. [url]http://laptopvideo2go.com/drivers[/url]

Best way to lock down folder view type is to go into folder properties, select "customise" tab, and define folder type via drop-down menu. Is a permanent fix, but has to be set folder by folder.

Hate to say it, but using a Linux Live disc to recover your data and then reinstalling is by far the best option. By the time you spend all that time digging out Avast (which by the way will likely cause more issues as the registry will go nuts over …

A - make the move to Win7.... a damned sight lighter on resources. B - disk space is being chewed up by the restore points and shadow copies (which are a lot more extensive than in XP). Would recomend firstly performing restore to point prior to failed updates (likely cause …

Yawn!!

Have to say I'm utterly sick of hearing ALLLLLL about an OS which has to leave Google's Dream Factory. And given Google's flop rate for any of their [I]own[/I] development projects (even Android fell WELL short of the mark, and you have to then look at how much more complex …

Happy to see issue solved... we can all be a little blonde at times ;) Just as an aside, if you are or plan to move to Win7 (looks like that model is x64 compatible, so would recommend that path), DO NOT install touchpad drivers!!! Win7 brings its own touchpad …
