I have Vista on C drive a windows 7 on another drive. Now for some reason vista is really messing up.. Installing updates everything freezes. Tried installing new nvidia driver it finally got done but after it got done just stayed on startup screen, till I manually turned it off. Then it said start windows normally or safe mode, so I chose safe mode. It went through the loading of drivers screen and then went no further. The volume with windows 7 works fine but vista side won't. Any suggestions?...

Does anyone know what happened and why? Also installed new power suppl...

Will too big of a power supply hurt other things or do they only pull what they need? I want a bigger power supply but the guys at dell says it can only handle 425 watts. At the same time someone else there said it's ok to go bigger & that it won't hurt anything.. Who right? I'm getting kind of tired of them anyway, since everytime I call I get a different answer..Anyway let me know, thanks..

Just got new computer & downloaded tree size and it says 22 gb's used.  Computer drive c says 227 gb's from 283 gb's which is about 56 or 57 gb's used.. Should I be concerned that the tree size reads about 35  gb's less? I tend to trust it as opposed to what drive c says. Anybody know why the difference?
