Hello. I tried Installing Windows Vista Home Premium today, but when it comes to the part
of the Installation where it says "Your computer will restart several times" my computer restarts
more then 40 times, and never loads after that. After like, 10-15 minutes of it being off, I switch
it back on, and it restores to XP (Witch is good because it wouldn't start up at all). I've
tried installing this 4 times altogether, and nothing. it keeps restarting continuously more then 40
times. The only time it restarts is after the BIOS loads, when switching/restar...

I know there's an option in Ubuntu to change all the font sizes of the general system, the
windows, and etc. Now I'm trying to do this in Windows. I've changed everything about
the windows except for the general system size. How do I do this?...

Hi , I dont know what happened but My system restarts after a few Minutes (at max an hour). Can
someone guess what might be wrong. It displays a System Shutdown Timer (initiated by
Administrator) and then restarts after 60 sec. This is an SP2 so I dont think its a blaster. I
have a ZoneAlarm Security Suite and it didn't detect anything. I even Scanned my Windows folder
from Kaspersky using my Second OS (Vista) but that also didn't detect anything . .. Any guesses
??...

One year after the official Vista release , Microsoft is already working on the next Windows
operating system , Windows 7 , also known as Blackcomb or Vienna . Windows 7 Milestone 1 Build 6519
, the first working version of windows 7 , has already leaked to the w a r e z community , but it
doesn't differs much from Vista . The release is set for late 2009 / 2010 . So what do you think
about Windows 7 . Of course that the work on Vista continues , as it's not yet perfect but will
soon be....

I share a Windows XP computer with two friends, and we each have our own User Account on the
computer. Recently whenever my friends use the PC, they begin to have problems with it. For no
reason whatsoever, Windows Explorer will crash and close all the current folders that are open. I
went onto their User Accounts to see for myself (with permission, of course), and found that
Explorer would crash any time I right-clicked a File, and would also crash on occasion if I clicked
"File" on the Folder Window's Menu Bar with a file selected. It also happened on rare occasion...

I reinstall (restore) windows almost every 2-3 months. What about you??? Seeing the title some would
say "I do it daily" and some others "How to reinstall?". Let's see the poll results. Linuxers,
see you in other post. Reinstalling windows is a daily chore for the students studying computers.
They have to switch a lot of softwares, compilers etc etc. Windows as we know, will not tolerate a
whole lot of (Un)installations and will ultimately slow down the whole system. This is not the case
with Linux. Just consider this, I installed Red Hat WS 3(the older version whi...

How can I make the clock in the system tray display seconds as well as hours and minutes?...

Okay i recently bought a godaddy hosting account. Now my question is whats the difference between
the Linux OS hosting, and the Windows OS hosting?...

Are you bored at work today? Here's a small enhancement to your desktop. Hope you like it. I)
When you have to open any program you have to click "Start" "All Programs" and then choose your
selection from the programs folder. Now how would it be to achieve the same task in just two clicks?
You can save all your favourite program shortcuts in a folder and view that through a tiny arrow
near the system tray. Its very simple. You would tell, "Ya, I almost knew that". Here's how to
do it. a) First create your folder and add the shortcuts you want to access. The f...

Question to you all, I have a computer running windows XP, now I want to add a "real" DOS
enviroment on the computer (not cmd or dosbox or something like that). So I thought dualboot will
do the trick, but the problem is, if I go on and install dos on my free harddisk, I will have a
problem cause it f*cks up my boot process and windows xp will not start anymore. That I dont
want! Anyone got an idea on how i can install dos so I can multiboot between windows xp and dos
without formatting my windows drive, install dos and then reinstall windows? Any help would be gr...

Ok, so I've done some looking around trying to see if it's possible I could dual-boot my pc
with Windows XP Home and Vista Ultimate Edition (x64). Well, I know it's possible, but I'm
not understanding many guides I read because many people have mentioned assorted stuff like
requiring two hard drives (I only have one 250GB one), and other assorted stuff like software
I'd need to supply certain space to the two separate partitions. I was thinking of making my
Windows XP be more of the serious partition, and having Vista be the more media-centered one, ...

have heard that vista can only handle 3gig of ram. is this true? i have heard also that vista cannot
run smoothly on a 1gig ram pc. is this true? i'll be buying a desktop and a laptop in a month
and my budget is not that big. one will suffer if i add more to one and i'm trying to maintain a
balance. my option is to buy a 1 gig ram laptop and beef up the desktop but i don't want a slow
laptop also. anyone who has an experience on using a vista and a xp with the same softwares. is
there a difference. ...

Which do you think is better XP or Vista or Linux. I am constantly switching back and fourth and
cant stick with either. vist has some pretty cool features but Xp has about twice the amount of
performance....

Iam the user of Windows Vista. I gone with Vista because of unavailability of other options. Windows
will shutdown its support for XP after few years like they done with 98 and other operating systems.
So I brought Vista Home Edition. My computer configurations: Core 2 duo processor. I GB DDR2
RAM. 160 GB Hard Disk And other best available features. Problems suffering with Windowis

This is an essay I written for a my linux class and I thought I would give my thoughts about how I
compared XP with Ubuntu. QUOTE Windows XP & Ubuntu’s Cold War In 2000 years, there
have been many epic battles, many of which have produced both heroes and villains and many producing
winners and losers. However, in today’s world another cold war is brewing, that cold war is
between Microsoft’s Windows XP and Ubuntu. They will never pull out all the stops and launch
nuclear missiles, but instead will try to provide a whole new world for people t...

Its like a computer in your web browser. http://ajaxwindows.com/apps/windows/content/index.html
It looks good from what i've seen. Like a computer in a window. all files saved on their server,
and so long as you've got internet access (at a decent speed) all you need to do is sign up.
I'm surprised google hasn't done something simmilar, they seem to offer everything else...
Docs, maps, medical records. Other than the major drain on my internet usage (which i use enough of
as it is)......

Okay, I've had Vista for a few months now but just recently my Windows Explorer has been having
problems. It says "Windows Explorer has stopped working" and then I click the option restart the
program. I usually have 2 - 5 Explorer windows open and when I click restart the program it closes
all of my windows and opens up My Documents. I usually get this error one or two times a day but
I'm not doing anything wrong. Is this error only happening to me or has it happened to anyone
else. Thanks. ...

So I just installed vista upon the almighty computer, and it worked fine for a day or less. (Bah). I
installed all my drivers and such and went on my merry way. Now all of a sudden it starts freezing
on me. It's completely random, I can find absolutely NO pattern to why it's doing this.
I've reformatted multiple times to make sure it wasn't just a bad install. I've updated
my drivers, they are ALL compatible with Vista. I've read it could be an issue with an April 06
Security update Microsoft released but I have no such update installed. Being a f...

Has anyone actually been satisfied with the release of SP1 for Vista? Does it solve the problems
that we've all griped about? Overview of Windows Vista SP1 From what I'm reading
from that document, I'm actually surprised, appalled, and in a way, now wondering if Vista can
actually be an upgrade. I laughed at: QUOTE Enhances support for high-definition (HD)
drives by adding new icons and labels that identify HD-DVD and Blu-ray drives as HD drives.
That's awesome. I never knew the HD drive that I bought was an HD until SP1. /rolleye...

Hi, We have been seeing Windows Vista Screenshots and from that we can take a look at the new GUI
for Windows. Its called Aero. But i believe it looks more like Linux. Dont you think so. Now the
Windows GUI is no longer unique. The are back with same GUI that other Operating Systems Already
have and Also just take a look at the icons. They are not good at all. Any information about Windows
GUI or you views on it. Please Reply Thank You...

Hey All What you guys think is the best programming language for Windows Vista? Ive been doing C#

How to install Microsoft Windows XP automatically As you know, during installing Microsoft

Well I have been thinking about building a new gaming rig pretty soon and I will be able to spend a
bit more than usual because I already have the essentials( Mouse, Keyboard, Printer, Monitor) but I
have a questions about Vista. I have a nice HP dv9000 laptop that I have had for a couple months
that came with Windows Vista Home Premium. Now what I want to know is there anyway that I can
somehow get that onto a new machine I build as long as I take it off the laptop? I mean I bought the
laptop and if it comes with Vista, or any OS for that matter, I am purchasing the li...

Before i start i want to make sure you understand this is not a what OS is better this is a what is
better at certain things and your reasons why. I would also like to know more about Linux because
i'm slightly confused on it. Will it mess my computer up if i install it, dont like it, and
uninstall it? OK on with the topic. I own a Mac and work on one for many hours a day, but had
always used a Windows based system since well i was 5 and i remember my father using DOS to run Duke
Nukem haha. So i know my way around it. Here is my Pros and Cons list Windows: Pros...
