Vista Question
Is there a way to disable the window that asks you if you want to allow this program to run when you go to open a program? It's pretty annoying
Also(so i dont have to start a new thread) when i'm double tasking with vista it will randomly freeze up for like a minute, even if i press ctrl alt delete the task manager wont even open but it will become responsive like a minute later and everything will be fine, it seems to only happen when i have two of any programs running. I failed to mention the first time that when it freezes i can still move my mouse but i can't open or click on anything. Last edited by ArmoredFury; June 13th, 2007 at 02:00 PM. |

Hi there,
You can disable User Account Control (UAC) by clicking Start > Control Panel > User Accounts and Family Safety > User Accounts > Turn User Account on or off. Although Microsoft doesn't recommend doing this, it's a personal choice decision. Looking at your spec's, you wouldn't expect any problems running with all the bells and whistles. I did have exactly the same problem as yourself. I guess Vista is RAM very hungry as I added 1GB and it's running as sweet as a nut now. Having said that there are a number of other thing's to try before adding RAM;

When you open up Event Viewer, is there a 'plus' sign next to Critical to expand the tree? Thankfully, there are no critical errors showing in my logs. I might be a little concerned if there were.
Sample here. If there are any in yours, double click on one to open it up and read what it says. Possibly click on the "Event Log Online Help" to see if there is a fix. Also, if you expand the Windows Logs in the left hand pane, you can select from Application and System warnings and errors. Zen info'. As I said before, adding more RAM fixed it for me but that was without any critical errors. It's either that or possibly a format and re-install of your OS? |

I had all kinds of errors but none that i personally from reading would think that vista would go non-responsive over. The only error that i was interested in was the ACPI (IRQARB: ACPI BIOS does not contain an IRQ for the device in PCI slot 7, function 0. Please contact your system vendor for technical assistance.) error. It says that like over and over for different pci slots

My machine freezes when I run Adobe alongside another program. I also put it down to being RAM hungry. It doesn't like Roxio running with another program either.
