Office2007 and Vista search are not working any more on my machine. The
indexing service is running, but the control panel search options just keep
telling me it is waiting to receive indexing status, and all buttons are
greyed out (but cance :)).

I tried to play a DVD in my HP Pavilion notebook PC through my component
video output to my HDTV and an error box came up stating:
"Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because it is not possible
to turn on analog copy protection on the output display. Try installing

Ever since installing a PCI Serial/Parallel port card in my PC I have been
getting the following error in my EventLog 4-5 times a day:

I bought a Gateway quad-core Phenom 2 weeks ago and can't run the cd drive.
When I insert a cd, I can hear it running, but nothing happens. Other
programs tend to freeze while the cd is running also. I've tried several
things. I set the defaults to autorun. I've double clicked ...

In XP when I shut down programs in StartUp I get a pop up that alerts me to
the fact that programs have been shut down. The pop up has a box to check
that says Don't Show This to Me Again. In Vista I get a similar pop up but
there's no check box to get it to stop showing up. It ...

Hi, this has been happening on and off for a while now, but I figured I'd ask
the community. Sometimes ads and just regular pictures of a certain size
(usually banners and small square pictures) are being replaced with poorly
made GIFs made to look like error messages, and ads ...

I'm running Vista Home Premium...After ripping some cds, my E:/drive just
disappears...POOF! It only comes back after a system restore, (which is an
issue that I addressed in another question) & System Restore tells me that it
failed for an "Unspecified Error".

Help I'm getting a bsod in random instances once every 3 days - 1 week while
using my laptop. It happened when I was just surfing the net and while I was
just simply looking at my documents folder. I also installed a registry
mechanic but didn't fix it.

to do. they were there at one time.... and then just disappeared!!! also, i
cannot hide the menu bar. it is there all the time now, and does not even
appear on the drop down menu... ?????

alright I have gone crazy trying to figure out what is making this brand new
laptop shut down slower than my xp shutdown and reboot.  I have fixed the
waittokillservice to 20 and it still takes forever.  I looked in the event
log and this is what it said..- System

I was checking my current allocated restore size, and comparing from
what I saw in Shawn's tutorial, it seems a lot of space allocated on my
C drive. This is what it said in C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe : --

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. Please HELP!!!

I have a problem with resoution. Natively it is set to 1440 x 900, but
somehow it changes itself to 1024 x 768. At first I thought that changing the
resolution in display manager would help but then I found that there wasn't
such a resolution to choose (!), but there had been ...
