I have an 8gb machine (memory) and it runs without a hitch. Were the problems cleared during the sp1? I have windows 7 on other and I find both to be very similar except for the taskbar and some networking features. Are these past vista complaints or is there a valid reason? Windows 7 is nice...

Hi. I've looked through the forums to find a similar problem here and on the internet, and I can't find anything. Basically, I have 64 bit windows 7 beta, and it uses over 2gb of RAM consistently. However, rarely sometimes on boot, the OS does something and it idles on 1.14gb consistently (25%...

Okay, so there's been a lot of talk about which is better, which runs leaner, which takes more space, etc. So I decided; Hey! Why not test them all, in a controlled environment, allowing them the exact same treatment to get as accurate a result as possible? Good Idea? I think so too. So here...

Hi everyone I'm now satisfied on my laptop with the X32 version of W7 -- now Hauppage Win TV is also working. My Lan card which I could NEVER get to work either on Vista Home premium X-32 or W7 X-32 worked straight away . (Via velocity family gigabit ether net card). Wireless wasn't an issue...

HI ! When I start up my vista. it's perfectly fine.... and then when i go to my documents and start browsing through files... then my vista will start loading and loading and loading and makes my pc slow and slow and slower.... taskmanager says nothing is using my memory, but according to the...

Microsoft Corp. said Tuesday that regular PC users will be able to test out a "beta" version of Windows early next year. Windows 7, the forthcoming operating system, will let users choose to see fewer alerts and warnings from their computers. Rampant notifications and pop-up windows alerting...

Recently, and I am not sure if it has anything to do with windows updates taken to the system in similar time, my CPU Usage fan has been going crazy - and quite frequently. CPU memory usuage, 100% or thereabouts is the norm now. Anybody else experience this? Thanks in advance.

Just took an update to "JAVA" today. Now every move I make on the Internet I get a warning "Java wants to run this program ALLOW, NOT ALLOW. If I hit the Don't Allow everything works same as usual. Anybody know what this is about? I've got a new console in tools: Home User Directory. I don't...

I have been facing a problem with games in vista for the past 5 days. The games are getting dragged and discontinuous. I checked the task manager and found the cpu usage to be nearly 100% when games are running. I dont know whether that is the problem. I found that TrustedInstaller.exe was...

I installed Skype the other day for a class I'm taking, and now my laptop isnt running right. While I work, I like to open new internet explorer windows instead of using tabs... and sometimes if I'm busy, I can get as many as 18-20 different instances of the browser running. This has never been...
