On startup I get a screen full of vertical blue lines. Reverting to a restore point will not resolve the problem. Occasionally after using startup repair the screen returns to normal briefly until I get a screen full of technical information and the screen reverts to the vertical blue lines again.

I tried to do a Factory Restore and it wouldn't completely start up. I then bought the Recovery disc through Gateway and it almost worked but Windows Vista would not work. It would say Please insert Windows installation disc(do not have the disc) and then click repair computer. I've downloaded the Windows Vista Recovery Disc, and tried to use it, but for some reason it's not working. So i need to know what needs to be done.

This usually happens over night. Most mornings my computer is in this state. A link in an email will not open IE. I also can't open mail attachments. When that is true I also can't openany other programs from the desk top or the start menu. I also can't open restart. It does not show up. If I close windows mail then I can open other programs and/or restart. All works well after restart....until next morning.

I have a computer with Vista, using Windows Mail as my email service. This machine has died and I am currently trying to get the data files downloaded to a storage media. I have purchased a new machine with Windows 7 and Outlook 2007 version. I need the procedure of how to convert the Windows Mail files to the Outlook email. I do not believe that the new machine has windows mail on it like the Vista had.

Computer worked fine yesterday. Turned on this morning, and it won't load Windows. I can see the HP start up loading - then goes to a black screen.  Restarted in Safe Mode - loads completely. I can see icons on desktop.  Performed a repair computer - didn't find anything. Ran a virus check under Norton Antivirus - didn't detect anything. Ran a system check - everything passed.  Restarted pc in normal mode - black screen again. Any ideas? Thanks!

When computer sets for awhile and goes into screen saver mode, active screen should reappear when mouse is moved or keyboard is struck but nothing happens and screen stays black. I must reboot computer to get active screen to return. How can this be stopped? This problem just started and I touched or changed nothing to cause this other than what I might have downloaded. Also since Vista was installed, an upgrade from Windows XP, I cannot get computer into safe mode. When I press F* it goes into starting page where I have different options such as sleepmode but that page is froze and nothing moves so I must reboot to return to normal operation... Irritating problems, please help.

I have Windows Vista Home Premium, and all my updates from Microsoft are up to date. We have 3 users defined on the system, myself, my wife and a 'guest' id(which is not used frequently). The problem relates to my and my wife's desktops, which after a year or so have all sorts of tailored items on them. If I reboot, and use my desktop, its OK. Ditto if my wife reboots also. However, if we try to switch from one user to another, the second user's desktop has disappeared. Don't know why. Reboot is fine, and  the 'lost' user 'comes back', but the previously OK one does not. This problem used to occur intermittently, now it is all the time. We need 2 separate users, as my wife sometimes works from home, and she can retain any special settings she needs. Any help would be marvellous.

Can you tell me if there is a way I can reset the "Type" of my user account back to "Administrator". While trying to creat a new general type user account for my kids, I changed the type of my user account. I now know that my account was "Administrator", and by changing it I do not have complete control of some actions. I contacted Windows Support, but they say that I will be billed $87.00 for their assistance. I can't affort that, so I'm hoping to find another way. Please help if you can. Thanks for considering my request. Sonny B. West Virginia

Updated Toshiba a205 (PSAF0U model running Vista Home Premium 32bit) with Vista SP2. Ever Since then I cannot boot up into normal mode, firstly with AC power plugged in, Now Not At ALL! I can only boot in safe mode but none of the available tools work. System restore crashes on loadup, as does the Recovery Disk. I have tried to update system BIOS but get BIOS part number error. I cannot uninstall Vista SP2 (All three stages complete but is says didnt install, reverting changes) All my restore points have been wiped out and I dont know what else I can do in safe mode.

Everything I try to open on my laptop gives me a window that asks "open file with". It happens with Internet Explorer, the control panel, quick books, everything. When you do go to open with and select something, it just continues to bring the window up again for what ever you try to open. I am not that computer smart but I usually fix these things on my own, this problem I have never seen before.
