My windows vista program suddenly stops working and there are only lines in the checkerboard pattern and I can’t get anything to move. Help me find a fix.

never mind – it was user error. I found it under a subdirectory
Only problem is, it tells me there were no events — hmm?

Gee, I must have a different Vista then you guys because mine doesn’t show a reliability monitor. It just shows a Windows Experience Index rating. Course I am challenged sometimes. I’m running the Home Premium version

my vista started crashing for a while and with the reliability monitor, i found out that it started crashing when i installed ADOBE AIR. maybe it’s not compatible for vista or still have a bug or something that causes the vista to crash.

I found the Reliability Monitor but the dates of the events only covers Dec ‘07 thru Jan ‘08 and I can’t find any way to view anything after that. It is like it stopped recording any information after Jan.

thanks. This helped me understand a lot when my system kept crashing out of nowhere. Two windows updates were install right before this started. So I deleted them and waiting to see if helped. If not I’ll try system retore. Your other comments, for them they can go on help menu and print out reliability monitor information

Finding this was a cinch, but figuring weather the problem was created by another program or so was not so close. Honestly, this didn’t solve my issue here, my PC crashes, and doesn’t turn on after restart after 20x tries of rebooting. Pisses me when I can’t find help.

I got onto the Reliability Monitor easily but it means nothing to me. How is an ordinary 60year old grandmother supposed to know what all this means?

What made you think that doing a comprehensive pass or a custom 13 pass would actually improve the stability of your system Jame S.
