I have a problem with Aero, where some of the programs I run (iTunes for example) will be fuzzy! If I disable Aero, it goes back to crystal clear.
I have an NVidia 9800GT and 6GB of ram.
I would not have even known there was a problem had I not downloaded iTunes, since all of my other programs look great! I'm fairly new to this forum thing, so please let me know if there is any additional information that is needed.
When I boot my Vista 64 machine, which had been working normally until 2 days ago, the login screen comes up fuzzy--that is, I can tell it is the login screen, but the image is so highly distorted as to be unusable. The image is fine during the boot process (ie, the post graphics and the green progress bar are fine) until the Vista circle pops up. When I try to boot in safe mode, the screen image is fine, but the problem is that once it gets to the login screen the computer will reboot, even if I quickly enter the admin password. If I use a bootable Linux disk (Puppy Linux), the entire computer works fine. This indicates to me that I'm not dealing with a hardware issue.

i really want to get the stylish vista with the aero fine theme
I've got an Sony VGN-BX197XP laptop that I've upgraded to Windows Vista Ultimate. Since then I've encountered some strange display-related issues:
1) I could only boot into Aero about 50% of the time. The rest of the time I forced onto the Standard theme with no Aero option. Since installing Vista SP1 I can't get Aero at all.
2) When not running in Aero mode I can't get the Windows Media Player to play video files, nor get a Perfomance Index.
3) If I plug in an external monitor I can't get a picture on the laptop monitor but I *do* get a picture on the external monitor and it runs Aero 100% of the time. It will also play video files and give me a performance index.
my computer have a problem rendering iTunes and Steam; they always seemed blurred or "Fuzzy". Here is an image of what I'm talking about link. The fonts for install menus also look like this and even interestingly enough so does the Nvidia Control Panel.

Is this normal.I mean my entire computer was lagging BAD and this is a fresh install of Vista (just switched from x86 to x64 a few daysago). None of my resources are being hogged up or anything like that page file was at about 1.5gb, 35% memory usage (out of 3gigs),processor usage was at about 10%.
Why am I lagging so bad when burning a DVD? Any other time, the computer is extremely fast.but while burning it took almost an entire minute to open up firefox.
He really must be stoned because earlier today he said that he makes more than $14,000 a week. In his dreams. If I made more than $14,000 a week, this would be the last place I would park my ass every day. I would be on a tropical island with five 23 year old BABES serving me drinks all day long while I lay in the sun on the beach.
Alias has to scam little old ladies out of their hard earned money to purchase Ubuntu and everyone knows that Ubuntu is free but NOBODY wants it. Imagine, Ubuntu is free and is still on less than one percent of the desktops out there. That should tell you all you need to know about that piece of crap OS.

When I turn the computer on the light that says is on goes on and the computer makes noises like is working but nothing happens, it's like the computer is off. That happened for a week then it really went on and I was able to use it like nothing happened. A week later the same thing happened, I wasn't able to used it for a week. Then a week later again I was able used it, and is been happening that for a month now. I ran my anti-virus but it didn't find anything.
View 7 Replies View RelatedIObit Game Booster 1.1 - TechSpot Downloads. Very rarely do I find little free apps that actually do anything useful, but this app closes down all 2000, xp and vista processes not needed during gaming. I got an extra 7fps in Far Cry2 small ranch very high benchmark. That's the same increase as overclocking from 3.16 to 3.8 on my Vista 64 x48 e8500 with gtx280. You probably all know about it already, but I only found it recently.
View 5 Replies View RelatedRecently I had a crash while I was playing a game, so I rebooted manually because I had too. From that time, when Vista boots, my harddisk makes a weird loud noice everytime before entering loginscreen and my boottime is extended with +-20sec. I've figured out myself that since the crash ,I watched a startup log and saw that Vista does a quick chkdisk, which would explain the extra noise my HD does just before booting. I've tried everything , from checking for a dirty-bit , disabling autochkddk to even formating my system. But every time my system crashes, the next time it boots , my HD makes a weird noise.
View 6 Replies View RelatedAfter the rolling green bars of starting up vista, the hard drive makes alot of noise (lots of disk activity?), vista takes 5-10 seconds longer. The noise is very annoying! And I'm concerned that it will ruin the hard drive. Plus my 20 second bootup is also longer. This started happening after two months living with vista - didnt happened at day one.
I noticed the problem after installing new drivers for my VGA and manually installing some vista/office 2007 security updates. Coincidence? I've tried uninstalling the drivers and installing new ones - but no luck. I've also tried chkdsk /r in an elevated privledge command prompt and a defrag, anti-virus scan and spyware scan. Furthermore, the only thing I have changed in the boot up sequence is: adding 4 core cpu support when booting up, and stopping a few startup items. I have also disabled the readyboost service.
I do not want to see any of the programs at the top of the list of All Programs (especially Internet Explorer). I just want to see the program folders listed, preferably sorted by newest or most recently modified first, by alphabetically would be OK. How to get rid of the 8 programs shown in here? Thanks.
View 6 Replies View RelatedIve been having a few problems with uninstalling some programs via the add/remove programs tool. For example I have been trying to uninstall Itunes and everytime I do Windows installer says it is preparing to remove and then it stops and a window come up that says "The system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation." and then another one says I do not have sufficient access to uninstall Itunes and to please contact system administrator.
So I spoke to a friend how recommended this forum subject and I followed the Take Ownership steps a few times but to no avail it still does the same thing. I can't update Itunes untill this one is uninstalled!!!!!
I use Vista 32 Ultimate and I have this problem during the startup of Windows: The UAC control stops 2 programs and I'm not able to let these programs load with UAC control active. Tried everything also in Windows defender but no success. I must always confirm and let run these programs clicking on the UAC block tray icon that appear during the load of these 2 programs. Someone tell me that these programs blocked by UAC must be updated from the developers to pass the UAC.

View 9 Replies View RelatedAlright, I'm not necessarily the most computer savvy person so I let one of my friends who is genius with this stuff work his magic on my computer every once in awhile.
Well, one of the first things he did to my laptop when I got it, was get rid Aero. At first I didn't mind, but now I want it back. And I mean its gone. When I go into "Window Color and Appearance" it doesn't even have the Aero option listed anymore.
I no longer have Aero theme enabled, and, I can't select it from the list. This has started after I had to format my drive and install Vista all over. Everything else with it seems just fine. Only this "Windows Vista Transparency" is not working. There is only one place I can think of to enable it at, and it is not there. Do I need to install some updates?
There should be another option there "Windows Vista Ultimate" I think, but I could be wrong.
But how do I enable transparency and all of the other effects of Aero?
Ive always use vista home premium, but after I used glary tools to defrag my regestry and then it said restart my comp annd i did, then whe i go to my pc, i see it has windows basic features, like on aero. So i went to personalinize and I SEE NO AERO feature!
