| 884656 | 2010-05-14 02:03:00 | As per what Speedy said. Vista has a known problem doing this, there are MANY suggestions and fixes, most of which dont work. Microsoft were meant to bring out a fix in one of the service packs, and while it did fix some PC's, many it didn't. While its always good to repair a system, sometimes its to far gone, and the only way is a reinstall. You can play about for weeks (yes weeks) and get no where, other times you fix it withing moments. Most of the "normal/Basic" fixes have been suggested - if the msconfig wont even open its badly damaged. There may be ways to repair it to a going state, but not here, you would need someone who has the software to access the system etc.( normally not free software either) Its a case of "knowing" when you are fighting a losing battle. Saving all data is the important thing, reinstalling the OS and putting back programs is not a biggie and they can be replaced, Data usually cant esp if its not backed up. |

| 884658 | 2010-05-14 02:04:00 | I believe that 7 is slightly more accommodating of lower amounts of ram...it is not noticeably faster in my experience. (I'm sure someone will dispute that though :D) |

| 884659 | 2010-05-14 02:05:00 | i'll have to hunt my vista cd. or should i put 7 on?? whats gonna be better? it has to run on 768mb ram. i've heard that windows 7 is faster than vista. but i dont like windows 7's task bar W7 -- you can customize many parts to your liking. Vista is OK - W7 is better. AND it has its own Backup program |

| 884663 | 2010-05-14 02:21:00 | as long as i can get the win 7 taskbar looking like vista [folders showing separate] ( i dont like win 7 taskbar) EASY -- Right click the Task Bar/ Properties On the Taskbar tab, under Taskbar appearance, select Never combine from the Taskbar buttons menu, and then click OK. To change the Taskbar to the Black of Vista, thats just a Setting you can change to suit in the Windows Color and Appearance options. |
