My toshiba Laptop keeps shutting down without warning about five times a day. When I try to go to Power Options in control panel, it says, “To adjust power management settings, close microsoft windows xp power options and use toshiba power saver.”
First answerer: I get the same pop up message as before.
When I click “Power options” it will give me that message and will not let me click anything on that Power Schemes box, it’ll just open and be gray.

I don’t do much other than play poker and surf.

How do I get Vista???

It’s the 990 model and I need the drivers for the USB connection. I misplaced the installation disk that came with the camera. I’ve already tried the store where I bought the camera, no luck. I’ve tried to locate access through the Sony website but it’s a bit cumbersome.
I’m willing to purchase said drivers but I can’t locate any to make an order. Any ideas?

I am experiencing Aero performance issues in Windows 7 BETA build 7000 and I have read that it likely has something to do with PowerMizer. There are registry instructions to disable it for Vista, but a few things are different from Windows 7. If anyone has successfully disabled PowerMizer in Windows 7, could you please tell me how?

I just got my hands on windows 7. Do not ask me how I got it, anyways I installed it on my virtual pc. It is nobetter than that of vista. I hate vista. It is in the beta stages. What are we going to do if we keep having microsoft giving us garbage. What is there besides mac? I also hate mac with a passion. Is ubuntu and linux? What can linux do. Can it do the things windows can do like with media center.

I have Windows 7 installed on my computer and I want to remove it. How do I do it? I partitioned my hard drive so it’s not on the same drive as Vista.
