  I'M ON A WIRELESS SYSTEM TO RUN FAST, NOW I'M I'VE SEEN TROUBLE STREAMING MOVIES AND EVEN VIDEOS ON YOU TUBE, CAN SOMEONE ME USING THE ADVICE ON SETTINGS OF WINDOWS VISTA?

  Hi GrahamCroal

   

  1. is the streaming of films and videos slow down or you are totally unable to broadcast their?
  2. what exactly happens when you try streaming?

   

  You can check if the below link help-

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/which-protocols-does-Windows-Media-Player-use-for-streaming

   

  Also the connection speed must be higher than the data rate of the content you read to discover Fast Streaming. The faster your connection, the better your experience will be. So it depends entirely on the broadband connection you are using and speed offered by the connection. If you want faster streaming then you need check the high-speed broadband connections. You can communicate with the internet service provider for more information about the same thing.

  I hope this helps.

• Having trouble installing new drivers after installing a new hard drive and Windows Vista.

  I just installed a new hard drive on my computer of dell inspiron 1525. I managed to do it and it worked. I had a disc from dell to reinstall windows vista edition Home premium 32-bit and had drivers and utilities dvd. However I couldn't connect to the internet. I understand I'm missing some drivers but I rebooted the computer, but it goes to the black screen asking you to start in safe mode, safe mode with network, normally and something else. But after trying all of them, it goes straight to this same screen. What can I do? Or I can clear the new hard drive and start over? Any ideas?

  Hello

  I suggest Download driver network card on another computer, and then transfer the file using any flash drive and even install in the computer you have challenged.

• Trouble trying to change from Windows Vista to Windows XP Home Edition.

  I have Windows Vista on my desktop.  I don't like it and I try to install Windows XP Home Edition.  I was able to get support.  When I insert the disk and select "run setup.exe" a "User Account Control" screen will appear (I've tried everything I know to disable this function, but also any virus protection software, but I didn't get it.  After I selected "Allow" on the selection of the user the "Welcome to Microsoft Windows XP" screen arrives, but the "Install Windows XP" option is not highlighted, so I can't select it.  Please notify.

  You can boot from the XP CD and do a clean install.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/978307

  You should also check that you can get the XP drivers for the computer. If this isn't the case, you're stuck with Vista or Windows 7.

• Windows Vista having trouble loading?

  My friend has an Acer laptop, running Windows Vista (I'm not sure what version it is, more likely one of the Home editions), and there are problems loading Windows. She said that the acer splash screen loads, and the computer will go as far as loading the user selection screen. She types his password and tell him to open a session, and then the screen turns off. There is no problem of 'blue screen of death '. It remains this way, even after waiting for hours. She cannot log on as an administrator and therefor can not create a new user. She did not the recovery disks.  Are there solutions?

  She can buy them from Acer;

  https://secure.TX.Acer.com/rcdb/main.aspx?brand=Acer

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

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

  Restore point:

  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

  Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

  Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.

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

   

  If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  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.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  See you soon.

• Satellite L300 freezes with Windows Vista

  I use the Satellite L300 laptop with Windows Vista.
  Once the connection is freezing, so I used to do Toshiba HDD recovery and formatted and installed with its recovery tools.

  Now its connect with normal mode.
  The problem is that if I use multitask or open a window or whatever it is the laptop is hanging (freeze).
  Again, I have to forcely, I need to start with safe mode and normal mode then again once I get the same problem.

  Can someone tell me the solution?

  > The problem is that if I use multitask or open a window or whatever it is the laptop is hanging (freeze).
  Maybe some of your applications cause this problem

  I think you should check what software could cause what I mean it of not impossible that a 3rd party applications that runs in the background would be the cause of your troubles

  Of course, it could also be related to a hardware malfunction. It looks a bit like a RAM problem, but just a personal suggestion.
