i have an nvidia 7800 gtx 512mb that has been working in my rig for several months now. Windows vista ultimate x64, foxconn micro atx mobo 4gig corsair ddr2800 ram, 250g hdd, 380w antec psu. i just bought a 22" acer monitor a week ago. i turned on the puter from sleep this morning and the computer turned right on, all lights, fans etc on. but nothing appeared on screen. it didnt beep since it was waking up from sleep, not off. in my morning grogginess i hit the reset button, it reset, beeped once and turned on but still no picture at all.
naturally i checked all connections and theyre fine. monitor has vga and dvi(using dvi) and i plugged it into the onboard dvi, and STILL nothing. being thorough, i plugged the vga in the onboard and the screen came on. tried the new 22 and an old crt in both dvi and vga and only the vga worked on both...............
Lately when I've tried looking at different folders and files on my hard drives I keep getting "Windows Explorer has stopped working and will restart." It's driving me nuts, I can barely do anything. Also, same thing with Internet Explorer...I'm getting real sick of Vista's shoddiness..
By now it should be obvious that, under the Vista operating system, I have Home Premium, there is a severe overall, general "has stopped working" problem.
Thus far I've experienced: "Internet Explorer has stopped working" "Windows Explorer has stopped working" "Word has stopped working" "Sherlock Holmes Nemesis (Adventure Company) has stopped working" "Outlook has stopped working" "Acid 4.0 (Sony) has stopped working" "Acid 6.0 (Sony) has stopped working" "Sound Forge (Sony) has stopped working"
Is it not obvious by now that Vista has a problem, maybe a compatability problem, with everything from Internet Explorer and Microsoft Word to third party programs which cause programs, as I mentioned, even programs made by Microsoft, to "stop working"? Is there no an overall "stopped working" patch or something that Microsoft has released by now?...............
All of a sudden some of my programs stopped working, for example catalyst control center is supposed to start as soon as vista starts, but now it gives me an error like:
"CCC.exe has stopped working"
Same with some others...
Yes i ran AVG, i ran malware, and superantispyware, none of them finds anything.
I cant even load daemon tools now, it gives me some error: "Engine loading was failed", cant uninstall it, it gives me another error, and some of the programs like netlimiter if i start them from my objectdock dock they automaticly stop working, only when i start them from the normal .exe they dont crash.
I recently bought a new laptop with a built in video cam and Windows Vista. How do I create a video I can email to folks that they can view using most standard media players, like Windows Media Player
I've been having a problem with my laptop for the longest time now and its starting to really get me frustrated. when i run full screen applications like my Zune player, VLC player, my games (which gets me sad cause i want to play my pc games) and other apps like those. my screen goes black with colored lines going down the screen and my laptop locks up and i have to shut it down. i took it to best buy where i bought it and they didnt fix it. and after looking through the web i found out that i might have a bad video card but i dont know what to do about it.
My laptop froze during a shutdown process and I was forced to turn it off by holding the power button down. Since then my USB hub seems to have stopped working; anything plugged into it doesn't even turn up on the computer even though all the lights on them are on (indicating they are receiving power at the very least). How can I fix this?
I have Windows Visa, Home Basic, and sometimes when I go to a web page = Drudgereport, etc) and click on a link there I receive the message... = "IE has stopped working - A problem caused the program to stop = working. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is = available. and a 'close program' box is there. =20 When I click' close program,, the process continues.
Running Vista Home Premium, WD, WF and Avast (email scanning disabled). As of 3 days ago, when I close WM I receive the "WM can compact...". When I click Ok, I get "WM has stopped working would you like to restart it". I click "yes" and then I get "DEP has closed WM". No problem sending or receiving mail.
I am running vistas sp1 I am unable to open IE unless I right click and run as admin. hyperlinks don't work either. shouldn't have to do this. if I turn off UAC it works though, but do not want to. help please since I can not unistall and reinstall.
I keep getting a window telling me that internet explorer has stopped working and then closes all my programs and I have to start over. This used to happen only every once in a while but now it happens everytime I try to close a program. I then have to start all over with the programs I had running.
i have tried to get this game to work for a long time now, i'm totally desperat. i can see the movie in the beginning but right before the meny it shuts down and it says Jk.exe has stopped working i have tried to run it in compatibility mode but it doesnt work either, i have asked around and the answer i get is "it's becouse of vista" and i just wonder if there is anything i can do before i go and buy myself an old computer with windows 95.
getting this problem when tryin to start tf2 or hl2, anyone else getting this problem? i tried doin the stuff steam says, but so far hasnt worked. tf2 won't even start, whereas hl2 will get to the beginning loading screen before you get to the main window then freeze.
I am currently running Vista Home Premium x64. After a few weeks of using Vista and WMP 11, I learned through these forums that there is a 64-bit version of WMP 11, so I tried it by running the "wmplayer.exe" file in the Program Files directory (not Program Files x86). After a few seconds, I got the dreaded "Windows Media Player has stopped working" error message, along with a prompt to close the program - no additional useful information was provided. After uninstalling any and all codecs, using the SFC utility, using a registry cleaner, and any other suggestion I could find, WMP x64 still would not work for me.
So, I performed a clean install of VISTA HPx64. And, lo and behold, the first time I double-clicked wmplayer.exe in the Program Files directory, it worked! I tried it a few more times and it was still working, so I quickly downloaded the 64-bit Vista Codec package, and used the utilities in the package for switching the default player and registry entries to 64-bit. When I tried to run WMP, I once again got the "Windows Media Player has stopped working" message. I uninstalled the Vista Codecs package, restarted the computer, and still it would not work. I reran the SFC utility, and no corrupt files were found. Curiously, the first time I ran the 32-bit WMP, I was shown a dialog box for choosing options and doing initial set-up; when I ran the 64-bit WMP for the first time, I was given no such set-up opportunity.......
i have a very strange problem. I don't know what reason is. When I want to open video file (.avi) automatically is opening in WinAmp which I just used before for audio files. I tried to use option "Open with.." but when I chose the program I want to use to open this file, icon of this application didn't show up in the window of recommended programs (windows where there are icons of programs which you can use to open particular kind of file) When open the program (Zoom Player), and I try to open video file, everything was working., but still I don't understand why I cannot set up this option for ever. Not every time to go to Zoom Player and from this program look for .avi's files to open.
I loaded 5308. I had some difficulty with my dual PCI E video cards on installation. I had to take one out to make it load.I had no internet yet my properties showed that the LAN drivers were installed.My mouse was very.... jumpy and "laggy".I put XP back. I didn't have the patience to fu*k with it.I can't be sure that my "key" was good for the build. I just have an ISO. I can't see how that would jeopardize the load of the OS.
i got halo 2 for christmas and it said i needed vista. so i got vista and after i installed it i went on that thing that rates your PC's performance and it gave me a 1.0 this makes no sense because my computer is awesome. i have an extremely fast processor, plenty of RAM, and the second best video card available. and when it gave me a 1.0, it said that the cause of this was because my video card wasn't good. when i checked on "can you run it?" it said that i didn't have the video card that i had put in not long ago. so i am asking this: how come after i installed vista it said my video card was reverted back to my old one that came with my computer?

i have used Gimp for a long time. I got a new hp vista home premium 64.
i installed it in the new comp. it worked fine for 2 weeks. Then I got the message like :" Gimp has stopped working. Windows will let you know if a solution is found." I uninstalled and installed 3 more times. Same message. I saw on forums on Microsoft to go to reg. and delete gimp stuff. i deleted only what said gimp but only after the 2 uninstall, as this scared me.
Anyway,Same problem. Please help me. I have written to Gimp, Microsoft, Gimptalk, HP. No answer from anyone. I do my work on Gimp. I lost all of my personal Gimp brushes and patterns. (my fault, didn't back up on new laptop yet)...
Vista Ultimate SP1. Since installing SP1 a week ago I can no longer use the WMP player of many internet radio stations. The different players open OK, play the regulatory sponsor introductory message but as soon as they get into connecting and streaming they shut down with a message that IE7 has stopped working. By itself WMP plays OK all VDO and Audio files on my PC. I was checking your answer to another WMP11 problem (see below) but hesitated to type the two lines in "run" since it says that Vista requires a higher level (?). I looked at the web site given by the link but don't quite understand what is meant by a "higher level".
Can I type these two lines in my Vista "run" (and hope it fixes the problem) or not? Or do you have another possible solution for my problem? I posted my problem on the media player support group but no answer so far.
Today suddenly my mouse stopped working properly. The mouse cursor stops moving then I hear the sound that hardware is removed from the system and immediately after the sound that hardware is added and then the mouse works again for a little while. This happens all the time. Mouse stops..hardware removed..hardware added..mouse works.

when I try to play battfield heroes, it opens the window and I can see the titlebar thing but the middle part stays black. ( i'll put a picture of it if you don't understand) Then it will load for about 5 seconds then windows says BFheroes.exe has stopped working. I have tried reinstalling, with no luck.
New behavior on new Vista HP 64bit installation. Was working fine 4 days ago; had been shut down until last evening. Have installed minimum additional apps, all reportedly 64bit compliant. IE 8 message when starting IE - "Last browsing session closed unexpectedly, Restore previous session or open homepage?" Either choice results in "IE has stopped working, Windows checking for solution"... "A problem caused IE to close, Windows will close program and notify you if solution". IE closes, no solution found. Have tried disabling add-ons, have reset IE settings to default, have disabled McAfee internet security. Have run antivirus scans, malware scans (all clean), my System Restore points were (unknowingly) turned off so my most recent restore point is from last evening, AFTER the problem began. What next? I'm at the point where I COULD run clean install of Vista HP.
