New users to Windows Vista might feel annoying when they get pop up from User Account Control, though it is built for security reasons.

It is not advisable to disable User Account Control.  UAC (User Account Control) protects computer from malwares and threats.  It also prevents the annonymous access to the computer with out the proper credentials.

If the users still wants to disable UAC then they can do it by following the steps
1. Click Start -> Run
2. Type “Msconfig” -> Ok
3. Click Tools tab and look for Disable UAC
4. Highlight Disable UAC and click Launch
5. Close the command prompt that appears when you click launch
6. Click Ok on System Configuration.

Reboot the computer to take effect.

Sometimes, after you install a software or hardware you might have problem in booting the computer in to the desktop.

One solid message we used to get is “We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this.”

If your computer stopped responding, restarted unexpectedly, or was automatically shut down to protect your files and folders, choose Last Known Good Configuration to revert to the most recent settings that worked.”

If your computer doesn’t boot or if it got stuck with reboot loop or if it gives blue screen then you can follow the basic steps given below:

1. Reboot after disconnecting all the external devices. For eg. printer, scanner, Xbox, etc.
2. Read the error message properly if you get the blue screen.  It may tell you the hardware or software that causing the problem.
3. Check whether you can boot it in the safemode
4. If it got stuck in the reboot loop and if you are able to boot in the safemode then go to System properties -> Advance -> Startup and Recovery -> disable Automatic Restarts.  If you reboot the computer now you will be able to read the error message on the blue screen.
5. If you could boot the computer in the safemode then try disabling Startup items and non microsoft services from the System configuration utility (Msconfig).
