System Restore
I have Task scheduler set for a once a week Restore point creation. It tells me it has done it, but there is no record in the System Restore window. In fact, it is not doing any automatic setting of Restore Points, at all. Surely things like installing new software should trigger one. I have to set RP's manually. Any thoughts ? Moray. ...

Windows Mail Load
When I load Windows Mail for the first time after turning on computer, I notice it takes 6 seconds to load it. During the 6 seconds, the Windows Mail screen is shown and then loads. If I load it any other time, its pretty much instant. I have AMD Dual Core Processor and 2GB RAM so computer is pretty fast and all. Is there a way to speed the loading of Windows Mail up? Any help is mu...

Explorer.exe disk thrashing
Hi all, After running Vista Ultimate for a little more than a month now, I am fairly happy with it, but one thing keeps annoyign me: the pretty-much constant disk thrashing that is spoiling my otherwise fairly low-noise system. Also, I have to wonder how it affects the life of my disks to be constantly working. I have 2GB of ram, and the thrashing occurs whether the machine is otherwis...

Programs and Features Head Aches
Hello, I'm noticing that Vista Home Basic sometimes does not list a program as being installed even though it is. I installed Daemon Tools 32-bit v4.09 but when I went to uninstall Daemon Tools it doesn't show up in the list of installed programs. This happened before with another program (can't remember which one). Also, I installed Acronis Disk Director v10 which shows up in the ...

'noprefetch' command
I was having trouble with a game called STALKER - Shadow of Chernobyl, where in certain parts of the game when you push the quick-save button or the ESC key, the game crashes to desktop. Searching for an answer, I found a solution in the Stalker forum where you add a '-noprefetch' command after the exe path in the games shortcut. This worked for me and no more CTDs. Are there any perfor...

Vista Business fluxuating CPU Utilization to 100%
Lately, I have experienced CPU utilization fluxuations to 100% every 5 or 6 seconds with no applications started. The system is a 2.0GHz with 2GB of memory. It seems to be SVCHOST.EXE files that are the culprits. I have let the system sit after a reboot for more than an hour thinking that it may be temporary - it continues to spike to 100% CPU every 5 or 6 seconds. Opening Outlook 20...

Resource Monitor - CPU graph
In the resource monitor, CPU graph, there is a blue line and green graph. As far as I can tell the blue line is the CPU's clock speed, and the green is the actual utilization. Is that correct? Did I miss any documentation here? -- If quitters never win, and winners never quit, what fool came up with, "Quit while you're ahead"? ...
