Major problem - vista won't boot, even in safe mode
Having a problem here. I am away from home for a few weeks, so I don't have my Vista cd's with me. I noticed Vista installed a bunch of updates throughout the day today (maybe 10). I got a notification saying not all updates were installed. I attempted to install the 2 that hadn't installed. There was an error installing, so I decided to reboot. Now when I try to boot, everythin...

Computer Starting to Slowdown!!!?
My computer is approximately 2 months old and now has just recently started to slow down after 3-4 hrs of use after each bootup. I have scanned for viruses, malware/spyware, uninstalled unecessary programs, defragmentized the hard drive, run diskcheck and cleared cookies and temporary files from Internet Explorer. After a few hrs the system slows down substantially thus making it difficult to...

Windows Vista - What a piece of crap
I spent $2M on a brand new computer with Vista on it and nothing works. I sent 72 problem reports and e-mails to Microsoft and never got a response. If you are even thinking of getting Vista-DON'T, you will be wasting your money. Now I have to spend even more money to get Windows XP which works perfectly on my old 30 year old computer and a video card so I can download videos to my new c...

Recovery Disks with Vista
We recently bought an HP notebook with Vista. We supposedly can make recovery disks. I started making the disks with CD's. It burned the first one, then all the subsequent CD's had verification errors. Then I read that we really should use DVD+R for recovery disks. One question is, how do I get it to agree to start over using DVD? And is DVD+R the way to go for this? I am open...

Poor performance with IE on Vista
Why is IE so darn slow when it comes to connecting to web sites, and downloading. Currently we have a AMD 64-bit processor running at about 2 gig, and 1 gig of memory so that shouldn't be the problem. What can I do to improve the IE performance? And switching to Mozilla isn't the best way to go right now.... in case anyone is going to suggest that..... :) Thanks! ...

Bad Ubuntu
Ubuntu is often hailed as the future for the GNU/Linux desktop and even for the server. This page is dedicated to exploring the downsides to Ubuntu. No established release policy Once concerned with a production-ready release every 6 months, Ubuntu have now decided that some releases will be "LTS" - long term supported. It's hard to depend on a distribution with no set release policy. ...

My first Vista ka-boom!
Core Duo, VHP I was working on a document when suddenly all applications shut down, the screen went blue, and a banner said INSTALLING UPDATES. That remained for five minutes or more. Then, the unit rebooted and that took more than five minutes. When I loaded Word, it took several minutes instead of the usual 3-4 seconds. Now, everything's fine, the work-in-process was saved, etc. ...
