Vist 64 Bit Gaming Nightmare: Generaly Video Crash
Jul 24, 2008
Been using Vista 64 Home Premium for a few months and can play games like Crysis, Bioshock, Gears of War (all DX10) no problem..However when I start to play C&C3, C&C3 Kanes Wrath, World of Warcraft, Company of Heroes, GTA SA, World in Conflict, they crash (genrally video crash then sounds goes then full reboot. Really want to get C&C3/C&C3 Kanes Wrath working (they both run for 10 minutes or so.) nearly at the point where I'm gonna go back to 32 bit operating system (but don't want to waste my hard earned money). Hotfixes don't seem to have done the trick.

My digital camera is a Kodak Easyshare and it takes video in .mov format and i have been using windows movie maker, it allows me to import that format fine. Been working on some video projects and I should have finished the project, before i reformatted my system, but thats in the past and this is now. (I learned my lesson)
after i reformatted and put vista back on, i tried importing and playing the video files in windows movie maker and the video will play ok, but i have no sound. I drag it to the timeline and expand the video to show the audio and the audio doesn't show up. I can play other sound files ok, it just wont play sound from .mov formats. I tried playing the video in quicktime and it plays fine with sound too. I tried another video editing software and it plays fine too. I am working on getting another video editing software, but for now, i will just use what i got, but i got nothing now. If someone could help that would be great.
I tried Windows Live movie maker, which btw, is really ugly, it doesnt even have a timeline, how can you edit videos without a timeline? anyways...i tried the video and it plays, but still no sound. I am thinking that there was a codec that was installed before, but i am not sure what that is. Is there a way to find out what codecs you should have or does it depend on what the user has installed and customized system?....

I have Windows Vista Home Premium SP2. When I use the screen saver Aurora (and i think all screensavers) and leave the computer at night I come back to find it has been crashing and restrting all night. The screensaver comes on without error but at some stage while it's running I get a crash. My power settings are set too never turn off the computer and to never put it to sleep. I have no problems when the screen saver is set to blank. I have never been there to see it crash, it does it when the computer has been inactive for a long period of time. this problem was present with Vista SP1 and is not a SP2 issue.

I have a dell xps running (ha!) Vista HP32 bit. I am now in a loop. All my progs seem to be corrupt and I think I need to do a system restore to factory state. However the keyboard does not respond during boot so I cant access the safe mode or startup menu - its straight into Vista and nothing works. Microsoft installer for Office 2003 has taken over and will not recognise the install CD so it loops around. I have tries a power down by hardware button but when I restart sure the window is there offering the options but I can't navigate cos the keyboard does
not work and the clock ticks down - then it all starts again.

Below is my system specs.

I have Vista Business x64 installed from a full (non upgrade) disk and running nicely on my main PC. I also have jus received a copy of Ultimate full install licence. I want to replace the Business on my main PC with Ultimate and then reinstall the Business version on a new PC with minimal rework. How do I do this. Can i upgrade the Business using the Ultimate key and then reinstall the Business and use the key previously on my main PC with the previous Business install (I assume I'd have o call MS to reactivate)???

I had some problems with printing to the Vista Ultimate (32 bit) Fax, so I deleted the fax icon from the printer menu in the control panel. I cannot add it now. I get this error message: " The printer corresponding to the selected acct. is not existing. Fax printer is required to render the fax content. Click yes to add the printer now...." I click yes and it gives me this message: "could not add the fax printer. An error has occurred." This all started after I the OS wouldn't start, and I booted from the disk and did a system fix.

I was changing some things in registry to hide the start menu shutdown button, and I installed "VistaGlazz" to get the custom themes to work.) uninstalled everything but nothing happened :

I already registered Vista when I got it directly from Microsoft as part of the WFP and there has been no change to the hardware, so why is it telling me there is? I tried to register it again and it's telling me that the product key is already in use. I tried to chat with an agent, but their chatware sucks. I send two messages, which they receive then it dies. Twice I tried.

I'm in the process of building a PC, so I thought I'd try the ole Windows Vista 64-bit version for the machine. I've got for the machine, a Philips 22" 220CW8FB/05 LCD wide screen monitor, which has a nice display, really.As one does, I've calibrated said monitor and saved the settings, everything looked great. Experience tells me to be weary of what might happen, so I restarted the PC to see that my monitor's resolution and setting aren't displayed properly. The image is stretched vertically,the Start bar isn't even visible - until - I go Personalize > and adjust the resolution to something else, select No when asked if I'd like to keep it and hey presto, my monitor displays properly now. Problem is, I have to do that every single time I restart the machine. Currently, I've got just the drivers that come with my components CDs, I haven't been able to check on-line for other versions (but there isn't one for the monitor) for say the motherboard or graphics card, because in one of typically brilliant Windows moments™ (like when my mouse stopped working and it prompted me to "click here to fix the problem"), when I tried to install the -Vista compatible- modem, Vista said it wouldn't install it without a digital signature, and that I should go to the manufacturer's website for more information. I would. If I had a modem. So, in your humble opinion, which is the bigger waste of money currently? Vista or my monitor (twice as expensive as Vista)? Alternatively, any suggestions as to how I would be able to resolve the aforementioned conflict? I'd really like to keep both of them.PS. I guess it could also be a graphics card problem. It's French (not really, it's from Taiwan, an MSI NX8800GT).

How much memory can Vista handle? Is there still a 3GB limit on memory for Vista.
Do you need to have Vista 64Bit to be able to utilize more memory?

i have windows vista on my machine, i must have installed some software that has messed up my system, i keep getting the blue screen. everytime when i reset the machine, i have to press f8 then select that option: last known configuration'. this is the only way to start it, otherwise the blue screen appears.I feel that the only way to stop all this, is by doing a system reboot where my hard drive will be formatted and installs the OS from scratch.i orginally upgraded vista from XP when i have a student account with my univeristy, but then i had to pay approx ??200 for a new product key but i have not got a vista CD.

i tried installing a hacked version of windows vista so i could upgrade from a 32bit OS to x64 but the only changes that happened is:
1)a new screen right before the vista startup music screen pops up appeared after i "installed" the hacked version which says "A WORLD WITHOUT RELIGION" over a pic of the NYC skyline. it is there for maybe 30 seconds then dissapears and the computer starts normally
2) i am no longer able to sleep/hibernate my laptop. If i try, it turns on but i get a blank screen so i have to either pull the battery out or hard reset in order to get my laptop working again. vista, or at least on my laptop, isnt the quickest to start up so having to do this everytime i use my laptop is extremly annoying i have no clue what to do or how to take it off.

I'm trying to be as brief as I can...I just built myself a new Vista Ultimate with SP1 system to take the place of my previous entertainment system, Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005. In my home network, the Entertainment System box is my gateway to the internet, via a dial-up connection. I'm in an area where I can't get DSL or cable. I've successfully used ICS on 3 different Windows builds over the years, from Win98 to WinME to WinXP, all setup on the WAN port of routers. This effectively isolates the Windows box running ICS from the other two computers I run on the LAN. My WAN IP range is thus controlled by the DHCP service built into ICS, and I'm free to use anothe IP range on my LAN instead of 192.168.0.x that ICS assigns. There is only this system with it's dial-up connection on the WAN side; the system is essentially behaving like a slow DSL modem.
Here's the problem: my brand new Vista Ultimate entertainment system will not talk reliably to any of the 3 routers I've tried, on EITHER LAN OR WAN! 2 of the 3 routers I have used with my previous XP-based entertainment system, and they behave just fine. What is it about ICS in Vista that is preventing me from even accessing the setup for my routers? I've tried turning off Windows firewall, disabling IPv6 and Network Discovery, etc. until I'm blue in the face, but nothiing helps. Even if I connect Vista to the LAN side and set proper static IP to reach router configuration, I'm denied! I bought a new Belkin wireless N router today, thinking it HAS to be a compatibility issue, but even this "Vista ready" router will NOT let me even configure it using the Vista OS. I sure hope someone can give me some answers that help me understand. I hate to think I might have to put my XP Media Center box back in the dial-up sharing position just to get my internet connection back to my other computers again....

When starting my HP DV6 -1106ax notebook I get a "sidebar.exe - Bad Image" alert. This stops the side bar from running.When opening Windows Mail I also get a "Outlook Express Community Manager: WinMail.exe - Bad Image" alert followed by three other alerts. The computer is running Vista Home Premium 32 bit, service pack 2. I also use Norton 360 The Bad Image error alert for both Sidebar and Windows Mail is the same for both and reads:
C:Windowssystem32CRYPTUI.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software ventor for support.The cryptui.dll file in the system32 folder is 949 KB in size. I have found a new cryptui.dll file on the internet but it is only 500 KB in size which would suggest it is not the correct replacement. I have also tried to rename the original cryptui.dll file, but could not do this even in safe mode. I am not sure what or when this change happened.

I've tried restoring my HP laptop a few times with System Restore using different checkpoints and the same error message comes up afterward. Sytem Restore did not complete successfully. Your computer's system files and settings were not changed.
An unspecified error occurred during System Restore. I've tried using a few different restore points but this just comes up again afterward. I can't find anything addressing this problem;

I am looking for a new gaming mouse, but I have no idea what to get. So far I have narrowed it down to a Logitech G5 or a Microsoft Sidewinder. I currently have a Logitech G7, however to get a new one is out of my price range. ($50-$70 Canadian). Any other suggestions out there? Leave a note of what you use personally as I am open to any opinions

One game I tried recently was Callof Juarez. A friend brought it over to try and see if it would work after I told him I have trouble getting games to work. I can only find generic Aspire manuals online, nothing specific to my model.
I have tried to see what kind of video card is installed but in my device manager, under sound, audio controllers it only describes the audio cards, no mention of video card. I therefore assume it is a generic card that probably is not capable of gaming, BUT Acer did give me a nice screen saver that shows a clip on gaming, (b-astard-o's)...........
