• XPS from Dell with Vista system

  I have a XPS from Dell with Vista system.  When the computer enters standby mode, it continues to run and does not respond when you click the mouse or press a key on the keyboard.  I have to turn off the computer and then it takes about 20 minutes before it will start up.  He must analyze the disc and then says windows is not stopped correctly.  So sometimes, I have a blue screen that says that windows has automatically stopped because of an error.

  My system is only about 3 weeks.  This just started happening.  I have not installed any new hardware.  Here is a meswsage error I get

  Activation of WINDOWS VISTA oem with another oem drive?

  HI I have a computer with windows vista business on that key. Apparently, I do not have the original OEM drive but I have a dell windows vista Enterprise drive. the product to activate my acer desktop computer?

  Hello

  A manufacturer of recovery disc is designed for a particular brand and computer model; they are not interchangeable.

  Here is the link to order the Acer recovery disks:

  http://us-store.Acer.com/RCD/

  And if the Acer never included a drive to purchase, you should have a recovery Partition on your hard disk to reinstall Vista to how it was when new.

  With an Acer, you press Alt + F10 at startup to start the process of recovery back to new condition.

  See you soon.

• Reference Dell with Vista/64 won't go to sleep by himself.

  I have a 3-year-old Dell running Vista 64 desktop computer.  I've only used the sleep (or hibernation... can't tell them apart) mode manually, using the keyboard command: [Fn] + F2 on this old HP keyboard.  It works fine, the machine goes to sleep, to be awakened by the mouse or any key, asking for a password for the connection.  Large.  But I set Power Options to get the machine going to sleep if she has been preserved for an hour, and he won't.  The screensaver comes on after 5 minutes as it should; the monitor turns off after 20 minutes, what is right, but the computer won't go to sleep.  What I'm missing here?  Thank you very much.

  UPDATE: the problem has been resolved.  The first reference cited by Robert gives two options: a manual change to the computer (registry?) via start/run and typed in command in the folder C: / / command prompt, or a downloadable "fix" to the millisecond.  I had tried the manual, but then returned and did the download.  The downloadable patch is obviously more than one manual, and it solved the problem.

  Please make all below even if you have done some before as it is often the set of operations which solves
  the question.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
  Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
  This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
  slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  Hope these helps.

• I installed Dell Windows Vista on the Vaio, I can't do the drivers and software

  I have the Sony Vaio VGN-CR220E Vista Home Premium was pre installed on. I had to reinstall and borrowed A friends Dell CD. Nothing works right. How can I get the right programs for my Vaio

  It does not work like that

  You cannot use a disk from Dell on a Sony Vaio.

  Here are the General news for the recovery to factory settings:

  How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

• I play world of warcraft when I use a voice chat program while I play the dumb of vista, the game, how do I stop doing that? I use mumble for voice chat___

  that I play world of warcraft and I start to mumble vista mutes the game how can I stop at vista muteing the game?

  Hello Papastew10, I don't think it's something that makes Windows Vista.  Sounds like that, it's something controlled by Mumble, so there should be some options for that somewhere.  If not but you might be able to substitute by right click on the speaker icon in the system tray and choose Open Volume Mixer, try to adjust the volume of World of Warcraft from there.

• Why Vista treat games like second-class citizens?

  No matter what software I install will ask if it can create a shortcut on the desktop. But the games will not be a reason any. (More precisely, World of Warcraft)

  It's nothing to do with Windows Vista.  Not surprisingly, the games themselves decide where they want to create their shortcuts.

  If you want it on the desktop, just drag the icon of the games or to copy and paste from the Start Menu Explorer. Paul Smith - MVP for Windows desktop experience... I crawled off NNTP - for now.

• High CPU and RAM usage - laptop Dell w / Vista

  Hello

  I have read several posts and tried many suggested fixes, but none seems to work so far.

  Hardware: Dell Inspiron 1525, with 3G of RAM

  Operating system: Vista Home Edition Premium, SP2

  Problem: CPU high (~ 50%) and RAM usage (~ 50%) when ideling.  I did both a "clean boot" and boot into "Safe Mode with network" and neither seemed to make much difference and certainly has not resolved the problem.

  When I go to the 'task manager' is a process "svchost.exe" system which is the eater of resources.  I can move the tab "services", but I'm not really sure how to use the information presented.  This is where I'm stuck, as I said, I read a few other posts with similar (but not identical/software) and I've tried a few things but do not seem to be able to solve the problem.  Please let me know what the next logical steps are at this address.  Thank you.
