Too late with the advice. Reloading a copy of the O.S from February "uninstalled" all the updates since February.Try uninstalling some of the latest MS updates.
If I have more RAM that one version of Vista can even count, that probably means I have enough RAM for Vista to run.4G of ram is 1G more than Vista 32bit can handle.
That's true. MS, in all their wisdom, only mapped their 32bit OS's to use 3GB of RAM - even though it is capable of using more.If I have more RAM that one version of Vista can even count, that probably means I have enough RAM for Vista to run.
Yeah, I can walk this computer to the kitchen and plug in. When I get tired of this Ubuntu O.S. being unable to use almost all the features of my printer, and it's inability to wake up from, "suspend" I will continue the search for the Micro$oft failure.Does your router have hardwire capabilities? You could possibly indict or exonerate your wireless card.
Interesting that you say that. My brother switched ISPs recently and his computer immediately seemed seriously FUBAR. He eventually tracked it down to a flawed implementation of IP6 or something like that in the provider's modem. It took forever to figure that out but once he got them to give him a better (fully compliant) one he was back in business.The HDD partition is 100G and the RAM is 4G.
I actually don't know if that's enough.
What I do know is that the copy from February sat there, well behaved, until the minute I told it the password for my router. Then, Zoom...off to the 50% CPU usage as soon as it connects.
That's still a possibility when you consider that Vista is complaining that it can't update and it goes into using 50% CPU the minute I tell it the password to the router.His computer is a Mac, so who knows if it has any relevance to your problem. But I was stunned that a flaky modem could make a computer appear to be destroyed.
That's a possibility, too. My first thought was, "poisoned update?"Vista I had a laptop that came with it it had a 250 g hard drive and 4 g of ram it worked great till the dang thing updated It was a windows update that caused it
Yes. It says: svchost.exe 50% Host process for windows services...just like Task Manager says.Did you ever install Process Explorer?
