STARTUP TOPIC AGAIN
I know that the last thing people want to see is another startup question.
But I am currently not having any problems with my computer. What I am
trying to do is to reduce the number of programs that startup when I boot my
computer. I am running Vist HPrem and was wondering where I could find a
list of the essential startup applications.
If you know and respond thank you for your h...

Windows Photo Gallery
It opens but when I click on anything is stalls and says "no longer
responding". This happened after I moved over my files to be viewed on an
external drive. It was working fine when I moved them over but now when it
opens....it does not allow me to click on anything to open in the gallery.
If I do....no longer responding and I have to close.

Anti-Spyware and Add on Firewall recommendations needed
Well, with very feel anti-virus available for Vista (norton is eating up too
much resources) , I am using AVG antivirus and working well with Vista .
However, I realized Anti-Spyware part does not work with Vista and and it
just simply shuts down the service. I have no choice by to stick with the
Windows Defender and I am not impress with its ability.
Any suggestion ??
Thanks

they? Can I delete them? I though they might be the restore points but I

I have an Acer 5102 laptop. I work with pro audio. The suppliers of my
soundcards have not yet developed Vista drivers, but in the meantime I'm
playing with the internal audio device in the machine. This worked to a low

Under Vista, I have regular clicks on playback, and on record there are

Driver issues and constantly high CPU load
Vista was working mediocre for a couple weeks after I installed it, then it
made my PC go into fits of crashing where it would crash in the middle of
loading a program, and would give me the blue screen of death right before
shutting down. My PC would then frequently fail booting up at least ten times
before Vista would finally load correctly. So, i went to HP.com and made sure

Lack of User Control With Respect to Default Settings
1. Folder Icons - There should be setting that allows users to have the
option of specifying whether a classic folder icon is to be used when a
folder is created, or a a dynamic icon representing the folder's contents.
2. Default file path when saving files - I like saving all my files to one
location: the desktop. I don't like them being filtered into numerous
folders based on their f...

Computer not keeping time
Since installing Windows Vista, my computer does not keep the correct time.
I have to constantly change it to the correct time. Also, Sometimes when I
shut down, the computer screen goes blank but does not shut down. It will
restart on its own at times also. I never had this problem until I installed
Windows Vista. Any ideas??...

Vista not recovering
I deleted driver drvmcdb.sys based on the event viewer not loading it - or
needing it. After rebooting, Vista would not recover. Even the recovery
process did not work. Only when I entered the command line and copied
drvmcdb.sys from the A: drive to C:\Windows\System32\drivers would Vista
come up. Microsoft should look into their Vista recovery programs.

desktop problems?
I upgraded to Vista a couple of days ago. Then one time all of a sudden when
I successfully typed in my password and loged into the system, all that
appeared was the My Documents window and a black desktop in the background.
There are no desktop icons and no taskbar at the botton of the screen,
nothing. I've tried restarting the laptop on several occasions but the same
thing occurs. When...

Desktop Window Manager error.
The new Desktop Window Manager error keeps popping up telling me that there's
an error and it needs to shut down. If that's true, then why does it keep
shutting down if it's already down?
Any way of shutting this new display rendering method and use the old method
for now?

MS DTC console
I had a major problem with my installation of Vista Ultimate 64 and had to
use my Windows Image backup to reinstall.
Since then I occasionally get an error box saying MS DTCconsole has failed,
look for a solution or close the program. Needless to say a solution is
never found and I close the program.
Does anyone know what it is and what the solution could be?
Thanks

Vista sleep/wake problem
After I put my computer to sleep, which happens fine, the cpu wakes up by
itself in my bag and goes to critical battery mode. I have found the reason
for wake up, using event viewer, to TCP/IP network program waking the cpu
when it detects that the cpu has moved out of a network I was using before I
put the cpu to sleep. It does not happen when I leave the cpu in one
network, for examp...
