Dianne Queen of Shoes Registered: 05/24/04 Posts: 6123 Loc: Arizona	I have the new HP TouchSmart PC, which is amazing but I've blown two hard drives in less than eight months. The Window Vista program continues to shut itself down. I'm wondering if the two are connected to the problem? Any of you computer smart women here have any input? _________________________ If it doesn't feel good, don't do it twice. www.eadv.net Boomer Queen of Shoes

I'd either take it back or contact HP to see if there is a known problem between that particular model and Vista. My bet is that it's one of the cards (sound or video most likely), maybe the drivers need to be updated. Or it could be a virus (do you have a good anti-virus that's up-to-date? Or did it expire...most anti-virus programs that come with the PC are only good for 3 months, then you have to pay to renew the subscription). Without seeing it firsthand, it's hard to tell what's causing the problem. If it's only 8 months old, you ought to be able to take it back or get some sort of tech support for it. _________________________ When you don't like a thing, change it.

Anno Member Registered: 09/15/05 Posts: 4434 Loc: Minneapolis Minnesota	All I can say is the day Windows 7 came out, we went out and bought three copies - one for each computer - and had the geek squad intall it. Guess what - no problems so far! _________________________ Follow our story of living, loving and laughing with a debilitating disease: http://www.multiplesystematrophyandshy-drager.blogspot.com

All security is up to date and I also update automatically for any hardware during the night, every night. I guess it could be the Vista so I'll go buy the 7. What a pain. _________________________ If it doesn't feel good, don't do it twice. www.eadv.net Boomer Queen of Shoes
