I re_read your msg. "go to run_type-in msconfig and look at your start-up and see what is starting and see where it is comming from, ie "desktop.dill" check it out nothing else, "google it" or re-install the OS. I always just started looking to see why it was doing what it was doing, you do have all of your files backedup don't you?, if so then your ok to look around, It might be your "Vedio Card" also Good Luck!!!

hibernate is not even there... Look under "Advanced Settings" and you shood find "sleep" and some other settings, just open them up,, at the top you should find different "Power Plan's" like; Balanced, power saver and High Performance..

Your problem might lie in your settings, log on in safe mode, and go to"Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Power Options\Edit Plan Settings"check your "Advanced Settings" and their you can check to see if "Hibernate is checked"

Try to unstall theis updates:KB933566, KB929123, KB931213, KB905866, KB929762 & KB936825 if you have them. This is all i can find on this and if this doesn't work then go back to XP.....

I would like to know if this software is the same as NSW (Norton System Works) where as it can inhance your proformance cean reg, scan for changes so forth or is it just for spam/AVG type software??/has anyone tryed it??

Thank You for your answer, Marry Xmas to you and yours

Can you add a new hard drive to your system running Vista? Now say that you have Vista on "C" HHD, and you have another Drive then you deside to change the Second hhd out and put in a different hhd, in it's place. Would you have to do another activation ??

Thanks this helps a lot and know i'm off to get the OS i won't......

Is there a way that i can upgrade from Windows XP Pro to the Vista home premium. I know that Microsoft says that you can only upgrade to Business clase, but if you just flormat your drive and start fresh could you put a (Say) home ver. in your cd/drive?
