Windows Problems

Quite some people have faced this problem. The solution I’ve read on many sites seems to be :

1. Uninstall AVG (if installed). Reboot.

2. Uninstall VC++ Redistributable in Control Panel – Programs and Features (If 2 copies, uninstall both). Reboot.

3. Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package again from : Click Here

4. Reboot and check if you still get the error.

Follow the above steps and hopefully the error should be gone.

Error : Svchost.exe seems to be eating up unnecessary bandwidth and also consumes memory.

Solution : Disabling the BITS (Microsoft Background Intelligent Transfer Service) service should help.

Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) is a component of modern Microsoft Windows operating systems that facilitates prioritized, throttled, and asynchronous transfer of files between machines using idle network bandwidth.

To disable, Open Msconfig > Service and Disable from there.

Filenames or Foldernames are hidden in Thumnail view in Windows Vista when you press Shift+Ctrl and change the View Type.

Do the following :

Keep holding Shift + Ctrl and click on View and change views multiple times. You should get back your Foldernames.

Even if that didn’t work for you. Perform a Scan of the Drive wherein this anomaly occurs. To do that goto My Computer > Right Click on the Drive > Properties > Tools > Check now. Restart your System.

You might get this Error during Startup in Vista.
