In Suspend Mode, Lid Closed, Pounding The Drive
Mar 19, 2008
I think this is what killed my last drive. I caught Vista doing this again which was a frustrating problem in the past.
Laptop. Vista set to hibernate when lid is closed.
So I get up this morning, lid is closed, drive light is just on FIRE, Vista is pounding the piss out of the drive.
It will NOT wake up, it will NOT do anything, it's just sitting there pounding the pee out of the drive while it's supposed to be suspended. I watched it for about 15minutes and nothing changed. I suspect it does this often and this merceless beating of the drive is what ruined my last one.
This is not the first time either, I'd gotten in the habit of shutting the machine completely OFF because of this problem, I've actually seen it pegging the processor too (or at least the fans are running full tilt and pumping a lot of heat...with the lid closed and the machine supposed to be in sleep or hibernate.

I'm not sure exactly where to post, but I been getting constant reboot after bringing my system out of suspend/hibernate or power saver mode. It just reboots like its about to post, but then goes back down. It does this over 'n over until I cut the power and kill the PSU. I did have my system OC'ed, but at the moment I'm currently running at default settings.

I've got a strange situation. Anytime my cd drive is closed my computer lags to the point of no return. It won't load vista until I open the cd drive and while vista is running my computer will just about stop responding. All that moves is the mouse and I can click on things but they won't open until I reopen the cd drive.

im running a dell inspiron 1501 with os vista basic 32bit, i got the laptop at christmas this year and as its 3 or 4 years old it was riddalled with junk from the last user and had some malware on it. i cleaned all the infections of and then at the end of february i done a clean install,
i then got myself a big dose of malware in april and again i got rid of this, while doing this i noticed that when i try to boot in safe mode of any kind (safe,network,prompt) i freeze on the crc drive. im not sure if this is a result of the install i done or the malware i had, but did find some info that it may have been the result of a bad install of SP1 done through the updates feature.........

This drive plugs in and works fine from XP on two different computers but it crashes my Vista machine every time. It also crashes in Safe-Mode. Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 I have removed all data from the drive on the XP machine and formatted the drive replaced data and tried again without success. Format was done in a CMD prompt. I am not sure what else to try, posting here because it works fine in XP so assume its a Vista thing.

Using my ISP (Roadrunner Carolinas) speed test site; I get around 200 to 400 kbps download speeds using IE in normal mode. If I boot to Safe Mode, I get around 3500 to 4500 kbps, which is what it should be (this is what I used to get in normal mode before I re-installed Vista). Running the same speed test with Firefox, I get around 1500 to 2000 kbps in normal mode, but if I try to download a file it ransfers at only the 200 to 400 kbsp rate (if I'm lucky). Here's more detail about the system and what I've done so far:
Installed all updates including SP2.
Using Windows Firewall, no anti-virus.
Updated network drivers directly from NVidia (Chipset is nForce750i)
Updated graphics card drivers directly from NVidia
Disabled all LAN protocols except for Client for Microsoft Networks and IPv4
Connected via ethernet cable directly to cable modem, no router.
I've deliberately refrained from loading anything but the basics until I can get this sorted out..........

I don't know whether this is a Vista problem or not, but for the last few days when I access the internet a 'Amber Coast Casino' window opens. In fact it has just opened now when I have closed my internet window. How can I stop this nuisance?

I have an Acer Travelmate 6292 running Vista. When I connect a monitor and close the lid of the notebook, the CPU jupms to 100% utilisation and the notebook becomes extremley slow. I have changed the power settings for Lid Closed to "Do nothing" If I leave the lid a little open, it operates ok. Only when the lid is virtualy closed does the problem occur.

I have recently developed a piece of acupuncture training software using Macromedia Director MX 2004. I tested it on all platforms, and didn't get problems at the time. However, I obviously didn't test it on Vista long enough, as several Vista users have reported it hanging at random times. I have since tested it again, and indeed got the same problems (XP users don't seem to have these issues). I have experimented with changing the compatibility mode to XP SP2, but this doesn't cure the problem (although it might reduce the crashes slightly). I have checked the Problem report

When I open Windows Explorer, it goes to Windows/System32 rather than to Documents where it was when closed. What is the mechanism here? How do I get Windows Explorer to re-open where it closed?

I just recently built this computer (see specs below) and I'm running into a problem... SpeedFan says my cores are running at 44,48,51,51 (Celsius respectively) and my GPU at 50C. I dont think this is good, since there are the red up arrows and flames next to them. I can post up pics of my rig, but i thought i had it cooled pretty well. I even have a CPU heatsink and fan thats HUGE (liek 100cm tall) that is supposed to cool it and another fan infront of my GPU. How do i fix this! EDIT: When my system uses over 40% of any core, it hits about 50C! Just thought i would mention it.

Vista SP2. I close the cover, the machine is sleeping, everything looks good. Move the mouse, it wakes up and starts running with the cover still closed. Any known fixes? I do want the mouse to be able to wake the machine, but it should not do it with the cover closed.

When I open windows explorer menu it opens at a smaller window size then I'd like it to, so I resize it and close it but the next time that I open it from right clicking on the start menu and choosing explore, it opens at the same position and small size and isn't holding the window resizing that I did... What I've tried so far to make the window size "stick":
1. Use the Windows Explorer "ALT" key to bring up the File menu at the top of the explorer and choose "close" after resizing my Explorer window.
2. Made sure that the "Remember each folder's view settings" is checked. I've also unchecked it, chose apply, then recheck marked it and chose apply just in case it needed refreshing.
3. Used the "X" button at the top right of the window to close it after resizing it to the size that I want. And finally
4. Chose the upper left corner menu (the one with Restore, Minimize, Move, Close in it) and chosen Close...............

This involves my HP Pavilion dv9000t notebook with Vista Ultimate OS, & HP OfficeJet H470wbt (Bluetooth) printer. I am able to install the printer successfully. However, whenever I attempt to print anything I get a window stating: "Spooler Subsystem App stopped working and was closed". This happens both in Bluetooth & USB connection.
I have wasted my time dealing w/ HP support for almost a year. HP says the problem is with my OS. Per their instructions I even performed a complete recovery on my notebook & reinstalled everything back 6 times & my LapTop has been back to HP for warranty work twice. Nothing HP did or recommended has worked. The 1st new printer was returned & I was given a new one in exchange. Still the problem persists.
"Failed Solutions": http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?os=2093&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&product=3434461&lang=en
Removed drivers, re-installed drivers, verified print spooler settings & restart service, restarted the print spooler, temporary workarounds, etc. & nothing has worked.

For the past few weeks I've been getting episodes of Windows Mail closing and reporting that "Data Execution Prevention has closed Windows Mail". It seems to occur when I'm in the middle of preparing a message - it has never occurred when I clicked "Send/Receive". The problem first occurred a few hours after receiving a message with three PDFs totaling 5 MB in size. When this first occurred I had the current version of NOD32 (3.0.642) running but I turned off email scanning and the problem still happens every few days. On two of the crashes Windows Mail reported it couldn't find a few messages, and some messages were gone from my Inbox, but after deleting one or two such messages I was able to get back all the missing email. Is the best bet that NOD32 corrupted my email files? Are there other possibilities I should be thinking of or testing for? Is there some way to keep things like this from happening without ditching all my old mail?

In an attempt to solve a problem with an MS Office document, I went into Task Manager/Processes and closed Explorer.exe. It closed Office, but more importantly, it also closed my whole Desktop Shell!!! Now everything's gone, including my Start Menu and Task Bar. How can I get it all back?
