I am having a very anoying bug with vista! every 15 seconds my windows flash, and when i try and rename a file the flash causes the window to "refresh" and stops me from renaming the file or folder... has anyone else experienced this? I am using genuine Microsoft windows vista ultimate x64, I have all the latest Nvidia chipset and graphics drivers and my system is no sloutch..
I have a totally top of the range laptop, I am not running any of the things like Norton that are known to cause performance problems (I use AVG anti-virus). I have heaps of RAM and disk-space, a fast Intel Core2 Duo chip, yet my computer is slower than my previous seven year old one (that was running XP). It takes about 3 seconds to display things like the Windows Explorer window or about 6 or 7 seconds to bring up Firefox or IE. and about 10 or 11 seconds the first time I open Outlook. That is not taking into account the
time it takes to download the web page or retieve my mail. I am using the default settings in Vista, are there features in Vista (I know it monitors everything) that could be slowing me down this much?
When I open my Windows mail, it receives all my email. However, when I try to refresh, I get a message that there was an error but it gives no error detail. To get new emails, I have to close the program and reopen.

Windows Live Essentials, which refers to the suite of Windows Live client applications (as opposed to web services), consists of a long list of software: Messenger, Mail, Photo Gallery, Movie Maker, Writer, Toolbar, Family Safety, and Office Outlook Connector (which is mysteriously missing in this release). This release includes two new additions, Office Live Add-in (which allows you to open and save documents directly to your online workspace) as well as Silverlight.

When I click on "create message" it takes several seconds for the new "message window" to fill up. My PC is less than 2 weeks old.

Ok, just installed Vista service pack 2 and now I'm in a loop when booting, there is a flash of a blue screen but cant read it
note that I can not boot into any mode! I do have a repair disk and tried the startup repair to no avail!
I'm wondering is there a way to stop automatic rebooting when an error in command prompt in the recovery disk.
i really need this fixed i do have another computer that i can use to help fix. There has to be a way.
I have tried to uninstall service pack 2 via command prompt but since i used cc cleaner its not in the temp file!
I ordered a SanDisk 4.0 GB Cruzer Micro USB Flash Drive with my Vostro 400 computer running Windows Vista 32 bit Home Premium Edition. When I inserted the Flash Drive in the USB port Windows asked me to install the driver for the device. There was no software included with the Flash Drive. I checked the box requesting Windows to look for a driver through the Windows Update feature. It came back and said no driver could be found for this device. I then went to the manufacturer's website but they don't have a driver listed for this particular Flash Drive. I called Dell and all they could tell me is that Windows should have recognized the device automatically. how I can get Windows to recognize this device. My brother has the same identical computer and Flash Drive and his installed without a problem
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have two user accounts on my home PC. It's Vista Home Premium.
I am administrator on my PC. When I check my user account, it confirms this.
However, when I try, thru a CMD prompt, to do ipconfig /flushdns, I get an error message saying "The requested operation requires elevation."
The prompt is C:UsersBruce which implies I'm not the administrator.
How do I get to the right place to clear the DNS? It's causing me some trouble.
I'm on a home wireless network, just my notebook and the wireless router (attached to a cable modem).
my OS is Vista Ultimate, and I get IP from dhcp server to connect Internet I mean my IP is like 10.x.x.x. When I was using XP, If I use ipconfig/release & ipconfig/renew, then I can get a new IP from dhcp. But now, the method above can't refresh my dynamic IP address. If I want to change my IP address, I must first set a static IP and connect to gateway then disable my ethernet adapter, cancel the static IP and use dhcp again. Finally, MAYBE I can get a new IP. Even I reboot or shut down my computer for a whole day. When my computer gets to dhcp server if there isn't any other computer is USING my IP then I can't get a new one. I want to know, How can I refresh my IP address easily under Vista?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a desktop Win XP Sp3) and a notebook (Win Vista x64 Sp1) and an HP C6280 printer working through a router. Both computers will print just fine but after I turn the printer on after being down, the Vista machine lists the the printer as offline and I can't get it to 'refresh' to see that the printer is on. Documents just sit in the queue. Nothing seems to work short of uninstall/install.

Then, all of a sudden they will refresh. It's fairly quick when it happens, but is this normal? It happens on every boot. I have thirteen desktop icons counting the recycle bin. Can someone at least tell me if their Vista 64 OS does the same?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am experiencing a strange power problem with my monitors. I have two, each hooked up to a Radeon HD 800 series video card with dual DVI connectors. The problem is this: When I have my computer working as normal, if I switch off my secondary monitor, and then switch it back on, my primary monitor's display garbles and goes out for a second until my secondary monitor is back on. Also, anything that was displaying on my secondary monitor does not refresh and I can not access those programs. Does anyone know what is wrong and how to fix this?

View 6 Replies View RelatedMy Vista Ultimate-SP1 PC continuously freezes for a few seconds, it freezes then I hear a "click" noise coming from my hard drives and it works again for a while...after a couple of minutes or even less it happens again.. I have all the Vista updates and all my software and drivers up to date, I have already unsuccessfully tried everything and I' don't know how to solve this. I have not reformatted to reinstall Vista, as I learnt searching Google that other Vista users are suffering an identical problem even after several clean Vista Installs.
View 6 Replies View Related"I have 2 computers, both running VISTA HOME PREMIUM. (Laptop since upgraded to WINDOWS 7) In the laptop, which is a wireless connection to the internet, WINDOWS 7 UPGRADE ADVISOR, & Secunia PSI will properly connect to the internet, and scan the machine for out of date software. No problems. (IE8 is the default browser)
However, in my desktop, hard wired to my home network router, Secunia will not connect. Nor will the WINDOWS 7 Upgrade Advisor. I set the rules in IE8 to allow the connection, but all I get is the barber pole saying it could take up to 10 seconds to connect, but it never does. I also set the firewall to allow this connection, in both directions. I have uninstalled, and reinstalled the program, to no avail. Same issue......
I'm using a home premium on a lenovo 3000 k series 100 with a intel 2 Quad CPU. And recently, when I set it to sleep, or it goes in sleep it self, it will wake up like 30 seconds right after the sleep, even at the night! I'm so frustrated with it.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have just bulit myself a new Pc and have discovered quite possibly the most rustrating issue i have ever come across trying to fix. This problem is very inconsistant and happens randomly, My pc will hang about every 5 seconds for about a second, when i say hang i mean both video and sound lockup then return to normal. when trying to navigate around on the net via google for answers this makes things difficult. I have done some deeper digging and found a svchost.exe chewing up about 100 mb of RAM but am not sure if this is the source of my problem. One other thing i use is a DLink Wireless Lan adapter via USB.

Very frustrating week as my internet connection is not working properly, and worse not even consistent. Either my connection seems normal or the link up then down alternating for hours. I'm running Vista 32 Using either my speedtouch 536v6 or Belkin G wireless router to access. Problem occurs with either. Have used filtered dsl line or not. Problem occurs with either. Have shut my comp. off. Problem occurs with either. ISP have visited twice, check the line, shrugged their shoulders and closed the ticket. And worse of all not consistent, so it's hard to locate the problem. It connection will work fine for an hour (like right now) then just stop working. I have reset both modem, reset user setting, obtained new ip, etc, etc.

View 5 Replies View Related I got her a Compaq Presario V2000 (Windoz XP Professional). It has been serving her needs quite well. But now she calls and says it shuts down every 59 seconds so she hasn't time to run any of its programs like antivirus or IE to connect to web to run maybe LiveOne scan or others. She has asked me to mail her a CD that will be self-booting and contain a good antivirus (and I would say, something like Malwarebyte too) on it, that will run and clean up her computer so she can use it again.
(After that, i need to talk to her more about protective programs for the machine....) She is of the opinion that the infective agent may be "worm.win32.nightshade or something like that." Quoting her. This Could possible be a form of the netsky virus, I can't be sure. At any event, I tried to shop for a curative CD for her problemo. All the CD's I could find contained very old antivirus programs (with three years or older virus definitions ....and most do not even say they remove those viruses..they talk only about "scanning for viruses" whereas we need a scan and a REMOVAL, that is a real antivirus program that works.... with current uptodate viral defintions. And a good malware type additive. Can anyone recommend any such CD, or else any other means she may be able to restore functionality?
Recently I have noticed that what ever application I am in, often it stops responding for a few seconds and then it starts responding. I am operating Vista Home Premium 32bt. and have Norton Internet Security 2010 running. No other programs running at startup except sidebar.
I appreciate help on this matter. I have run full NIS scan, full Malwarebytes, and full tune up in system mechanics 9.
