My monitor turns off while i am using the computer and when I press the power button, it turns on but the screen is still blank. I've used different monitors and even replaced my power supply. I've reformatted my PC and had to same problem with vista and xp. I got a new hard drive. and i removed my Graphic card and i also tried with it. And i made sure i had the right drivers. on the setting i put it that the PC monitor never turns off no matter how long its on idle...I've done just about everything i can. I ran virus scans as well.My computer monitor keeps turning off, HELP!!?
Do it turn off while using a certain application? If so, this application could make you be accidentally hitting buttons in a certain combination that may enable a ';hot key';. This hotkey combination may cause your computer to go into ';sleep'; or ';hibernation'; mode.

Has anyone noticed how Microsoft Vista is total crap?
More to the point how difficult is it for me to remove said ';crap'; from my machine and replace it with the likes of XP?
Oh I wish it were so simple as repairing late model cars for a livingHas anyone noticed how Microsoft Vista is total crap?
Not difficult as it is time consuming.
If you don't like Vista, I would say back up all you have onto CDs / DVDs or an external HD and do a full format of your hard drive while installing XP. One thing to make note though, if you are running a 32bit system (32 bit processor) or a 64 one, you need an OS to comply with your processor. The reason I say this is if you use a 32 bit OS on a 64 bit system, you're just going to end up bottle necking your performance. I had a problem with that, being that I have a 64 bit duel core system with also 4 gigs of RAM on my computer, the 32 bit OS would only recognize 2 gigs, but once I got a 64 bit OS, it saw the full 4.
I do hope this helps you with your question.Has anyone noticed how Microsoft Vista is total crap?
Well you need to make sure you own downgrade rights first of. if not, you will need to buy a license with downgrade rights. This keeps you legal with MS. Crap right? yeah. Secondly, Wiping Vista by using the Win XP media isnt going to working either. the system will tell you that there is a better OS loaded. You will need to delete the partition is Dos mode and recreate a clean partion with out OS and then install Win XP.
Hope this helps.
Hmm? Just buy a full install (Not upgrade) of Windows XP and boot it as the first boot drive.
When asked to press any key to proceed to install. Do it. Then install Windows XP. Should be as easy as that.

How can i install two os on a single drive so that i could later safely remove one of them?
I would like to know is it possible to install two OS on a single HDD without having to split it in two different partitions so that i could boot up Vista and also be able to stay with XP at the same time, i'm afraid that if i'll install vista and xp on the same drive then one of the system folders could get modified replaced with a new fresh empty one or simply deleted. For instance when you install a new copy of XP without deleting the old one then during installation you get warned that the folder named ';Windows'; already exists so in order to keep your files from old windows and get a fresh install you rename the new windows folder to something else but can i somehow install two OS without having to split my drive? And also if there is no other way then can i merge my two hdd partitions back again?How can i install two os on a single drive so that i could later safely remove one of them?
You'll need to repartition the empty space on the drive to allow for XP to be installed. This can normally be done with Vista's partitioning tool relatively easily.

Windows 7 paint erase or replace color?
Okay, Well Ive been using the XP and then the vista paint for years. So by no ive got down all the tricks. one of which Ive gotten very comfortable with using but cant seem to easily do on Windows 7 Paint.
One of the things you can do is by holding down the right mouse button and using the eraser, it only erases one color. Which comes in very handy when sketching in red than outling in black and erasing the red.
The other trick is to just replace the red with white by changing the background color and right clicking while drawing.
Well, Due to my idioticness, I didnt think to check my ability to do these things before working hard on a picture on paint than finding out the hard way.
Anybody know how to do those tricks on Windows 7 paint? I could really use the help.Windows 7 paint erase or replace color?
Try GIMP. It's free and can do so much more than just getting rid of one color!horses use for cayote hunting

Backing up windows vista?
I am running vista on my computer and my AVG virus checker found a virus in Win32/polycrypt. The computer is new, so it should be clean outside that. I am trying reason that reformatting will get rid of the virus. but it has just occured to me that i have never backed it up, or have never really understood how it worked in Vista.
I guess i have 2 questions.
1. how does the vista backing up work? There arent any boot discs like in XP.
2. Will replacing everything with the backup, or reformatting help my situation?Backing up windows vista?
If you're running the Home Premium, Business, Ultimate, and Enterprise editions of Windows Vista, you can automate the entire process of backing up your data files on a regular basis by using the Back Up Files wizard. (The Back Up Files wizard in Windows Vista Home Basic does not include the automated scheduling feature, but it will remind you to back up your files periodically.) In order to streamline the entire backup procedure, Microsoft redesigned this version of its backup utility so that it only backs up data files -- application and system files are not included. (The ability to back up all your files is handled by the Windows Complete PC Backup utility, which I covered in a previous article.)
In this edition of the Windows Vista Report, I'll take a closer look at the Back Up Files wizard. As I do, I'll walk you through a backup operation.
I will Provide you link where you got all the wizards how it works and you get the example :==

Question about my laptop?
I'm using it at the moment, and it has 5 mb worth of bad sectors. My mate and I scanned the hard drive with two software packages and discovered that the bad sectors were input/output. Meaning, my hard drive is going to crap itself soon.
Anyway I went Leading Edge Computers near my place and the guy said he could do me a deal for 256 bucks to replace the hard drive. Blow that idea, too expensive. So the alternative is to send it back to the manurfacturer but I don't want to do that, even under warrently, because it will take at least a fortnight to get it repaired. I also want to downgrade from Windows Vista to Xp because I've had nothing but problems with it. Mostly compatibility issues as such.
So my question is what should I do in this situation? I don't know how long my hard drive will last, and that problem doesn't really seem to be affecting anything I use. The problem mainly comes about when I install updates. Can I buy a hard drive and install it myself? I'm going to void my warrenty anyway by putting Windows Xp on there anyway.
What do you think?Question about my laptop?
If you really encounter too much problem with Vista, downgrade to Xp is sensible.
Buying a hard disk is relative cheap nowadays %26amp; installing it can be pretty easy but make sure you have all the relevant disc for installation. Read your computer manual before you start the process.
Good luck!Question about my laptop?
Laptop HD's pop right out, easy peasy. I buy them all the time on ebay.
Yes u can if it's a famous brand of laptop. If not then ur screwed. If it's popular brand then u can find good hard drives or processors for it and search youtube.com or metacafe.com on how to put hard drives in and out of your laptop.
It probably will void the warranty to replace the hard drive yourself, but consider... will you EVER use the warranty if your not going to use it now? I'd just replace the hard drive myself, its not hard and it you need service work done later they probably won't even say anything unless its obvious you broke something in the install
Yes you can, although 5mb of sectors bad in a ???gb system isn't much. While your doing this you might want to upgrade the speed and size of the HDD. You will need a retail ver winXPpro with key(32 bit is more stable with wore software options). Since the retail ver only has the basic drivers you will have to chase down drivers for some of your systems hardware.
Sooner or later Microsoft will pull the plug on Xp. Vista is here and you will have to learn to deal with it. Honestly i find it much more stable than Xp was. Changing operating systems is the worst thing you can do to a PC. How on earth did you get bad sectors on a Vista PC anyways? Never mind i do not even want to know. You are too rough with the poor machine.
