So far I am very happy with Vista 64, but I have one minor issue. I have done no tuning at this time for game optimization, so it is a stock install. OS drivers are up to date. I am using a 28" Hanspree LCD, which is recognized by name in device manager. I set the resolution to 1900x1200( might be 1920x1200), which is the native or recommended resolution for this monitor. Anyway it will stay on this resolution until I reboot, then it drops back to 1600x1200. Any ideas? I am using a GTX 285 card. I was using the 182.08 drivers, and now using a beta driver 182.46, but same problem. I have searched and searched and have yet to find an answer. Hopefull someone will have an idea.

Meaning when I record something, it would record whatever is playing on the computer. But I forgot how to make that setting.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have the following issue and hope that somebody can give me a hint about what might be going on! My system has two raid 1 arrays - one is running on XP Professional SP3 the other one is running on Vista x64 Ultimate SP1. When I start my virtual machines (either from the Virtual PC console or when double-clicking the *.vmc files) than everything is working fine on XP and the virtual machines are booting and running as expected. However, on Vista the following is happening (and I hope somebody has an idea):
1. Starting the Virtual machines from the console leads to an immediate reboot of my host machine (I can't even see any boot screen of the virtual machine - it is like clicking start in the VPC console -- > reboot of host).
Now I tried the following:.........
I just upgraded to Vista U x64 and am having sound problems. I have a prelude x-fi sound card but the sound coming out of it is extremely low. I have maxed out every thing I can max (control panel sound, creative panel) and the sound level is whisper quiet. I have also upgraded all my drivers except the prelude's, I would but their website isn't offering those drivers at the moment. But the drivers supplied with the card are vista certified so I should get something. But my mobo, etc is all updated. I have been searching for a solution for two days to no avail.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have had this issue for many months, now. I loaded Vista x64 Home Premium to run in a dual-boot configuration with my XP Pro. I do critical work so I didn't trust going to Vista exclusively. I mainly wanted it to see if I could utilize all my RAM and speed up Photoshop processing. I have had it working three or four times, (except for tablet functionality) then when I must re-boot because of SP1 and other security updates or in one case, I installed Office 2007, it does nothing on restart; black screens and just sits there, totally unresponsive.
No blinking of the LED which shows drive activity. When re-booting, F8 isn't working (nothing happens). Regarding the previous instances, I gave up trying to get it to respond and went back to booting into XP, which always works fine. Then after a period (usually a month or more) I will try booting into Vista, on restart, and viola, it works again! WTF is going on?
Occasionally when I've been away from the computer for a short time and it goes into sleep mode (it`s set for 15 minutes), I can't bring up the display simply by hitting a key. I have to shut it down and restart. The boot button on the console will still be lit and I have to shut it down before I reboot. This probably happens about 30% of the time. The other 70% it comes back up with a key touch.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI used to have Windows XP on this PC and I have recently replaced it with a clean install of Windows Vista Ultimate 32 bit. Since then my computer will no longer reboot. When I click start > restart it will shut down like it should, then it will go to the POST screen and from there it goes black and nothing happens (where it would normally load windows). I have taken out my C: drive and put it in another PC and it worked perfectly. I have a C and D drive which are both 2 separate hard disks and always worked fine in XP. How can I fix this? They are both IDE. I have to now power off the PC and power it on again to restart.
View 4 Replies View RelatedSome times after I reboot vista (ultimate 64bit), random folders in C drive are deleted.
I already lost 4 games and 2 apps (~40 GB).
I think it's happening only after restart and only on C drive, but it's really hard to watch all (4) drives.
Every now and then I have a problem where Vista displays the message "USB device not recognized" when I plug my iPhone on the USB port. It happens with all the USB ports on the machine and rebooting the computer will fix the problem.
Does anyone has a suggestion as to what may cause the problem and how to fix it?
It there a service that I could try to restart instead of restarting the whole computer?
My computer freezes and reboots when I surf the web. I use Firefox, Internet Explorer just doesn't cut it for me. My Windows is fully up to date. It also happens when I use Azureus.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have had Vista Home Edition for about half a year. About a month ago, I noticed that every time I rebooted the PC, I lost certain information. My prefered locations on Weather Underground and my site information on TV guide vanish. I have been cleaning my cookies for many months using CCleaner, but I have designated that the cookies for these two sites are not to be erased.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've had some trouble with my computer and I'm not sure if it's ram problems or graphics or anything. I've had the following problems: Vertical very thin pixel lines that show up random places nvlddmkm has stopped responding and recovered. And within the last 2 days it's done it 3 times, I'm having my screen go blank with random colors. Green, White, and then the last is black that goes away and comes back like the monitor is trying to reset itself. Always black tho. I have to restart in order to get it to reboot. So I'm thinking I have bad ram, my monitor is a Westinghouse 17" Flat panel I got in 2005. My graphics card (8800GT) is about 11 months old.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI've recently bought a HP8710w and i've installed Vista Business 64bit on it. After a while for some reason the USB ports don't work when I reboot. In the Device manager section, the usb's have the yellow exclemation marks. The only way i can get them to work is to disable all and then enable them. It's quite annoying to have to disable and enable the 6 usb ports everytime i reboot. Any solution to this?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm having issues trying to upgrade from XP Pro to Vista Ultimate. Upgrade advisor says my system can handle Vista just fine. I pop-in the DVD and it says it might have some issues with the printer and some cellphones I used to connect to the PC but other than that all is well. I continue with installation, it copies files and whatnot and then it reboots (which it is supposed to do). However, the installation hangs on the Windows Vista loading bar. It just stays there forever. No error message, nothing.
I've tried it twice now and both times the exact same thing happened. The first time as an upgrade the second time as a clean install on my second hard drive. I googled my problem but found no real help. Do any of you have any clue how I can get it to install?
For some reason, when i start using explorer the system starts to take a long time to load anything and gets stuck on the loading cursor.. pretty soon it requires me to hard-reboot the computer. This also occurs when i am trying to install software.
View 6 Replies View RelatedOn some websites and forums there is a remember me function where the site remembers if you want to stay logged in without you having that site open all the time or myspace.com where the remember me function can be used so you dont have to put your email address in everytime you log on. My query is on vista home premium 32bit which im using after each reboot it forgets any information you had told the pc, so on each site including here i have to type in my user name or email address every time.Is this a security issue with vista or just an error.I obviously dont want it to remember my passwords but id like not to have to type in my email address for every login screen. Finally if I leave the pc on all day I can leave and visit any site and it remembers but once a reboot is done its back to square one.

View 4 Replies View RelatedVista 64 killed my Corel PaintShopPro Photo X2. I installed it and then Vista did some security updates and PSP8 ; PSP9 and PSP Photo X2 no longer run. I did load and tried Photo X2 uninstalled it then PSP 9; unstalled it then PSP 8 then uninstalled it. Up to Sunday 20th it worked OK. bUt I uninstalled it formatted the hard drive and started again and it has not run since.
First time it ran when I put it in then came on the reboot in would not load after switching it off for a while then switching it on again to then hung up the PC. The only way to get Vista to run was to use the Vista installation disc and that wiped PSP off the hard drive. I have repeated this 5 times, each time with a clean formatted disc with the same results. It is an automatic microsoft update (I think it said security update).
I have two monitors: (HP LP3065) & (HP w1907) I am running dual configured independently with the LP3065 as my primary display. I have a Nvidia 8800 GT card. When the computer goes to sleep the LP3065 primary monitor won't wake up. When I restart my computer the LP3065 primary monitor won't wake up. When I start the computer manually everything works fine.
