On my Vista Ultimate laptop , I was using Microsoft Download Manager to bring down some large files , but I had to leave so I suspended all queued files and shut-down Windows. Now I can't figure out how to restart the Download Manager.

I noticed that I do not have the shutdown, restart, etc. options in Task Manager like I used to. I'm not sure if I ever had it in this particular computer, but I did have it in my previous computer which ran XP Home. I am currently running a dual boot with Vista Ultimate and XP Pro, both x86. Is there a way to get this option to show in the Task Manager window in XP & Vista?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI guess GigaGet is no longer developed but I like it a lot. I was wondering if anyone knows what settings to use in order to avoid "the url already exists" when downloading?
Other than that nuisance, I really like using this downloader. There must be some setting I haven't figured out to get it to stop tracking what I've already downloaded and just download the thing I want!
I would really love to hear you suggestions on what downloader manager(s) to use (even an add-on for Firefox). I just wanted to know because I asked my friends, and each use use different ones and cannot decide which can be called "the best" (if there is one)

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a problem regarding my Vista installation. I'm using it for a while now but since a few days I get lots of freezes, hangs and crashes of my Vista and I cannot figure out what is causing these crashes. I'll explain the symptomps first: Somethimes it happens after the PC was running for hours sometimes it happens right after logging in. When the PC starts to freeze first one or two programs will stop to react, until everything freezes and won't react anymore. Funny about this is though that I can still talk in Vent and hear until the very last moment. Sometimes though the entire systems just starts to lag like crazy. If I have task manager opened there's no prcess using up CPU% other than System Idle Process. However in Reliability and Performance Monitor the CPU is usage is at exactly 50%. One core (I run a Core 2 Duo) is always at 100% and the other is at 0% and suddenly they switch and the other will be at 100% while the first is at 0%. That happens until finally the CPU calms down again. Just a few second after that though the system will BSOD and tell me a crucial system process was terminated....

If Office 2003 the problem, or is my luck just crap bad nowadays?

View 9 Replies View RelatedEach time I restart Vista Home Premium, it logs me into a user account I don't use anymore. I then have to log off and then log in to the account I want to use. If I delete the unused account and then restart, Vista then tries to log me into the deleted account, giving me the error, "The user name or password is incorrect." I then have to "switch user" to a valid account at the startup screen. How can I delete this account? Or, how can I make it so my preferred account becomes "default" and remains the login account after a restart?
