I guess each persons story is different. I bought a new hp pavillion with all the bells and whistles and yes windows vista home premium. i have had nothing but fun out of my vista. i got all my autos working (cept for that TP2GO) which is being worked on. I know pretty much about hardware and such and if i have or had any problems i use google to search and usually it explains what to to. like this morning my IE7 was giving me an error my navclr or some file wasnt being found i googled it and found out what it was and fixed it. my vista runs sweet and i have no complaints so far. usually windows can fix its self and i have not ran into any major problems. so dont doubt vista until you try it some people just adapt better to computers. just use common sense i guess

Warning this message had been cut & pasted for her pleasure... and she knows who she is  :)))


restored computer today.

would not let me go back to April, but i did get back to May 20th. Looks like a month is the default cut off, because i never changed any setting for that...

When restore was done a box came up with something about "checking for solutions"
said my Netscape, Windows Explorer + 6 video things had issues. I clicked to find a fix for it and they said there was no solutions for them.... doesnt seem to be causing me any issues.

OK..... i tried to go to pogo using IE and load texas hold'em (on a club name).. again freezing the table happens. So i went into my pogo account and disabled the install thingy... Now tables load fine, just take 15-20 seconds longer (im cool with that).. and if i leave the game and go back in it loads in 5-10 seconds.

I notice the problem i am having is applet related in 2 (or more) player games. I tried backgammon and used a free pogo account (these dont save applets i am pretty sure) and the game loaded fine.

so the big question is................ is there something specific that i can make a change to in the IE7 that will accomplish the same thing? I dont mind going to my pogo account and change that when i play on IE, but if there is a setting that can be changed it would be better i think.

If not, im as happy as can be that im DB'ing in Texas Hold'em...... got 50 names that i put those 400,000 tokens onto and i wanted to start transferring a little here and there.......

thanks for all the help guys, you da best!!!!!!

Hesh,

im going to take a stab at restoring, just had not had a chance to today...

I know what you mean about having too much going at once. My old computer had 256mb of ram i believe and i would get virtual memory low messages all the time.... if i was just on AOL for too long i would get a message about it.

as of yet i havent seen any of them messages on the new computer...

as far as the UAC thing, since i disable the msjvm i dont think i will need to now. I never had any pop-ups looking for permission before i installed msjvm.... if you think i should still disable it i will give it a shot.

Now that UAC is the thing that asks me before i DL something right? (enter admin password to continue, thing) I kind of like that fact my wife cant just go and DL something without me knowing. she has a tendency to make impulse DLs.... Once installed MSN messagenger 4 times in one month on my old computer.... On for a fews days, then tell me she didnt want it... Then she wanted it and then not and on and on.....


I will restore tomorrow and see if that does the trick for me....

Thanks again.

hiya fart,
yes,try restoring it to just before you had problems.that's definitely the easiest way to go.the only other thing i saw that could be the problem is having one gig of ram and opening several programs at once, especially aol. i have 2 gigs and if i even have 2 other app's open aol crashes my puter with a not enough memory error.ya may want to think about upgrading your memory, if u can afford it, to at least 2 gigs...4 would be best.did u also disable the user access control like icer had said? that caused me a lot of trouble with allowing programs to run and i didn't see that u had done that. it's an easy and safe thing to do, won't be messing with ur registry or nuttin.try the restore first and good luck dude.

im starting to like this responding to 2 people at once...lol

Icer & Hesh

I didnt install anything 6 or 7 weeks ago. everything was the week i got computer (feb. 6th i think) and then few days ago was msjvm.. my computer has 160g harddrive/1024mb..

reinstalling: well IE7 was preinstalled, netscape i did myself and really doesnt give much if any problems. AOL could be a problem, but why just with loading pogo game rooms? as far as the other things i installed, there are small applications (mouse clicker and word unscramble)..

2 OS's seem a little extreme and i think im a little short on space (see above only got a gig of ram). and to be honest i just dont open AOL when i go on to play... i would open IE most of the time and then Netscape when i needed to DB...

And honestly I dont know much about computers and this is why i dont mess with anything. I dont think i made any changes to any setting, with the exception of enabling the msjvm the other day but thats disabled so all should be back to normal.

well guys im going to try some of these suggestions, and  0:
do you think restoring to end of April would be the easiest thing? because like i said everything ran smoothly intil May. My personal timeline says "all to crap when Texas Hold'em got messed with"  lol

thanks again guys....

Old Fart, as you know a PC conflict can be almost anything.You can try some of these idea's if you wish up to you.

1-Go to the PC makers web site in support and do a live chat with a Tech.
2-Since you only installed a few programs, remove them and reinstall one by one and check system after each install.
3-Problem started 6 weeks ago, do a restore system at 7 weeks ago date.
4-Do what Hesh said  0:

Did you ever consider to have a dual boot up (2 different OS), your wife can bootup with Vista with AOL that she likes and you can bootup with Windows XP no AOL that you like...your PC has to have a nice size to do this tho.

I believe the conflict is caused by something you did..a program, settings, lack of Vista knowledge, etc.
Again GL to you sorry can't help you more!
