Updated Drivers And System Limps
Mar 3, 2010
I recently updated some drivers, particularly video and HP printer. Now my system has started limping. When I open any program, it takes for ever to open the program. Even after it is open, it takes a long to accept any keystroke. I am using Vista home premium 32 bit with 4 gigs of ram operating Dell Inspiron 531 AMD Athlon 5000 plus. I have full scanned with Norton IS2010 and Malware byte and Advanced System optimizer and found no malware.

My computer is new and it used to into the sleep mode. Now it says that there is something wrong with the ATA Channel 1 and the drivers may need updated. I am not sure what to do and I don't want to turn my computer off each night and I also don't want to download something harmful that I am not even sure what it is.

It all started with failed updates. Then I discovered that I couldn't run the check disk utility. A friend finally gave me a solution sfc /scannow in DOS which told me I had some corrupted files that windows couldn't fix. It told me to check out the log - but I couldn't find it. Now I discover (Having read a thread in VistaForums about the update error code 80070652) that I no longer have tabs in my Task Manager. aaaoorrrgh! I going nuts. how to restore these functions without losing all my data and updated drivers etc. (I'm not a beginner but I'm a sort of low level intermediate)

It take minutes to click on anything. I have installed my Motherboard drivers and my GPU drivers to little effect. What is additional steps I can take to speed it up. Is it worth downloading the updates. If I do that it will probably take all afternoon. Plus I'll have to log off this computer.

ever since planning on a new pc build i knew at some point that id want to install vista on it. Ive planned to get vista 64 seeing as i have a machine capable of running a 64 bit o/s with ease (when i buy my extra 2gb of ram along with my copy of vista) I have been doing my research on which of my games ill still be able to play & tbh the only ones that im remotely worried about are older than red orchestra so no problems there.
My only real concern is the drivers for my belkin wireless card (f5d7001uk) which doesnt have any vista 32 drivers! But ive heard a rumour that vista automatically installs the drivers itself?? Im also worried that some of the useful little apps i have installed wont install such as winrar, wavepad, deepburner pro 1.8 & punkbuster

While being satisfied by the cool effects and new interface of Windows Vista Codename Longhorn, many of us testers are what you would call "gamers." The lot of us would like to know if gaming on the default Vista Supplemental drivers would mean loss of graphics quality compared to using up to date drivers on a XP OS. For example, I installed Vista and then installed my trusty game, Battlefield 2. I tried using the new nvidia Vista drivers but the game kept crashing when I start it up. So I reinstalled the Vista Supplemental drivers and it happened to work. Quite interesting. I am able to run the game on default vista drivers and not the nvidia vista drivers. Coming to conclusion, would using the vista drivers result in loss of quality and graphics compared to using up to date drivers on a XP system? Or you can also rephrase it; Would gaming be better on the Vista Beta or XP? Does anyone know if SLI works on Vista?

No replies to my Call of Duty 4 problem thread question......I was still being kicked by Punkbuster. I reinstalled twice, updated Punkbuster and ran pbsvc.exe without success. This is the one change I made that has allowed me to play COD 4 without getting kicked by PB. I right-clicked the multiplayer icon and checked the run as XP service pack 2 compatible under the compatibility tab. I even disconnected my router and "gasp" turned of the Vista firewall to eliminate anything that might have blocked my connecting. *I have since enabled both firewalls*. I have been running it on and off for 2 days now, no errors. Try this and please let me know if it works for you. Then other people will hopefully find this thread.

Just thought I'd like to share with you the names of some of the reference books that I use when responding to posts. It would be interesting to know what other members of the forums use. This list will be updated periodically when necessary.

There seems to be some mess-up at the forum. At least the User CP does not work as it used to. It brings up all the threads I have ever participated in lieu of only the updated threads. The RP numbers under the avatars have also disappeared. Is that only by me or do others see the same problem?

There were plenty of reasons to avoid moving to Vista, but I've done so under duress: my laptop died and Vista is the only 64-bit system installed on PCs these days. Unfortunately, I CANNOT set the program called Windows Live Hotmail as my default mail program. Under the topic of Hotmail and Vista, the only postings on this are dated to 2007. Surely someone has configured a system with this revised version of Hotmail. It runs on this computer, but is not recognized as a setting for default.
I DO NOT want Windows Live Mail. I DO NOT want Outlook, I DO NOT want Microsoft Windows... Been there, done that. Does anyone have a work around, or must I strip Vista and load XP? So far I've wasted ten days trying to deal with Vista. This is about to push me over the edge and back to XP!

The latency symptoms I described have disappeared although Disk Cleanup might have removed something that was clogging up IE8 and/or the desktop. Besides that I reactivated Windows Defender, updated and ran it. But it found nothing. I then ran the latest MS Malicious Software Removal Tool and it found nothing. And I ran another KIS sweep. It noted something like a Java update I needed and a Firefox update I needed and after updating those then found no vulnerabilities. I also unloaded the game DVD, 'Prototype' that was in the tray installed and ready to play.
And at some point after rebooting I tried IE8 again and left it running for most of a day and the latency in its Favorites or in the desktop Task Bar has not returned once since. I loaded the game DVD again and played it a few times but left the DVD with the tray closed and still no latency issue has returned. This had been bothering me a number of days prior in-between reboots and running many several apps in the course of a day and seeing this latency problem many times, which was usually what would drive me to reboot since that would clear up the problem for a while............

They were there just there a couple of days ago, each forum have a very unique, vista like icon and, all of a sudden...I don't think I have changed anything on my USer CP, nor have I installed anything new on my pc (Vista updates today) and yet... they are gone. Not really a big deal but is just a bother to be loosing some things with my Vista x64 OS. I feel like the computer is either hunted or I have been hit with a virus/spyware/malaware but I did a whole check-up and the pc is clean.

There were some problems with drivers of a webcam I bought some weeks ago, but it wasn't serious, because I have the webcam of my lap. I don't know if this is related to using vista x64, but when I use Flip 3D, Live Messenger conversation windows don't appear in Flip, instead they appear in the background. I don't know if this is caused by using Vista x64, maybe it's a problem with Messenger.
This is my question: I'd like to try Vista Ultimate x86, and, as I have a machine with 2GB of RAM, could I experience any kind of troubles (in performance) using Vista x86 in my laptop? I'd like to know what kind of stuff I could lose because of moving from Vista x64 to Vista x86... maybe DEP? What else could I lose?
By the way, I use these programs frequently: VMware Workstation 6.5, Visual Studio 2008, MS Office 2007, SQL Server 2005... and other common programs (like WinZip, Adobe Reader, Live Messenger 9, etc). I don't use other programs (like Photoshop, intensive games or the like), and I have usually open, for example, VMware, WMP11 with Visual Studio at the same time.

I have a new desktop that is compatible with Vista 64 bit. That would give me the use of the 8 GB of ram.
Two questions:
(1) Where can I get the drivers that would be needed for my computer to run the 64 bit version? I haven't started the machine yet, but would run it a while with the 32 bit version. I assume I would download the drivers, then install the 64 bit version.
(2) Is it correct that any programs or hardware compatible with the 32 bit version will run with the 64 bit version, even though there will not necessarily be any improvement in performance?

Have a new SonyZ laptop with Vista Business installed. It is clashing with almost everything I've tried to load. Main problem is trying to connect to an external monitor: Viewsonic VA1912w. I cannot find any drivers which will let this happen. Earlier posts (some time ago) suggest that the connection was not possible but was expected to be feasible in the near future ie it should be available now.

I upgraded to Vista a while back, and since then I can not access my webcam. The only option is to uninstall it. I have downloaded all drivers, but I still can't access it.
