Every now and then things fail on Vista, for no apparent reason. Starting this month, the Nvidia video driver has "stopped functioning" but then recovers. The screen goes into sleep mode, and then comes back on again - I suspect this is an issue with the Secure Screen in Vista. It could be the DreamScene Preview too, but that's also died for me and is no longer showing.Thinking I could use Microsoft's problem solving tools for Vista, I head into the Control Panel and try that. I check for solutions to my many problems, just in case something pops up - nothing useful has so far come out of doing this but who knows? One day it might happen. So I report the 91 problems:
The Apache webserver comes from installing the Marvell driver package for the Intel 975BX2 board I use. Why would anyone put an HTTP server into a SATA storage driver package? Only Marvell knows; I certainly don't. Unfortunately, there are no solutions as such offered for me, but a few hints and tips maybe? Update I just noticed the date on the screen shot below: 31 Jan this year. It should be Feb 24, which makes me suspect Vista's problem solving tool is rather broken
Windows Vista is based on the modern computing hardware; the advantage is... it runs faster on the same computers used to run Windows XP. Restart Manager reduces the number of times users need to restart their computers because operating system is more dependable.
Applications that run on Windows Vista are more reliable because applications can recover from deadlocked situations and improved error reporting enables developers to fix common problems. For example, Windows Vista operating system can quickly detect and recover failing hard disks and memory therefore fixing window vista problem is not difficult task.
Automatic System Recovery
Now don't rely only on free automatic data recovery for floppy disk. Earlier with Windows XP, automatic recovery was not possible because recovering from a service failure typically required users to restart their computers. Thanks to Windows Vista, now you should not get any problem because Windows Vista will automatically restart most services in the unlikely event that they fail.
In case of necessity, Windows Vista can automatically deal with dependencies the service and to restart multiple services to maintain the trustworthiness of the operating system. Because the users often want their computer to solve problems with failed services, the automatic recovery also reduces the number to restarts.
