I'm creating a page on the wiki that will be a "front page" article that we can use to help people with Windows Vista problems. This page won't contain all the answers, rather will link to other pages that do.

The idea is that this page will help guide the reader towards the right solution. To that end, I've added a number of "high level" sections that I'll quote here for ease of discussion.

1 Problems Booting Vista
2 Internet Connection Problems
3 Blue Screen of Death
4 Driver Problems - Devices not Working
5 Power Management - Hibernation/Sleep Mode
6 Windows Explorer Problems
7 Email Problems
8 Video Games
9 Spyware or Virus Problems
10 Playing Media (Windows Media Player, iTunes, etc)

What I need to know, should I add/remove things from this high level group... and any other thoughts you have. For instance, what are the most frequently asked questions (other than how to remove vista and load XP). Are there certain topics that we should fill in first?

[edit]: I should mention, this page is for troubleshooting... I'm going to create another "portal" page dedicated to tweaking

I'm a wimp ? :-(

Ohhh, right... media playing. Good catch.

I'll edit my first post as you guys come up with ideas, and then update the actual page once we get a little more.

Well, according to the Forum statistics the most popular subject ( and by far) is multibooting. Not that I am a particular fan of that subject, but I would suggest to include it given the vast fan community out there.
A subject that will gain popularity (also in view of the upcoming Windows7) is VM. Maybe we want to bundle the knowledge of Forum experts on that to prepare the world for the future.
Item #9 - I would word this more generic – maybe “Internet Security�. Thus we can also focus on preparatory steps and prevention, and not only on debugging and fixing.
Item #5 may not have enough meat to figure at that level. Maybe it could be grouped under a more general subject of “System Settings�. That then can include anything from Icon sizes on the desktop to monitor settings or mouse settings, etc. – and also power settings
I really don’t care about item #8, but maybe others do.

Late to this party I see, I would like to suggest changing the 9 Spyware or Virus Problems to Computer Security, so there is room to address UAC issues, Windows Defender, Firewalls, etc. as well as spyware and virus issues.

EDIT: I had just skimmed the posts and saw that whs already made this suggestion...as they say, great minds... ;-)

Budohorseman, it never hurts to expand on a thought. Thanks.
