You have software problems. You need to start your computer in the Safe Mode (if it works). For that you need to press F8 after the post screen. Choose "Safe Mode", after you computer starts you need to uninstall software which causes problems. Check msconfig: Run->msconfig->Startup. Also you can use the option "Load last successful version" which is much easier to use because it's automatic, but sometimes it does not work.
Answering "Why does your computer keep changing the screen resolution in vista?"
Vista is not a computer, vista is an Operating System. Vista has nothing to do with where the reset button is. If you click on the Start button (normally in the bottom-left corner of the screen), there should be on option there that says 'Restart' or 'Shutdown.' Clicking on the little arrow next to the button and selecting the 'Restart' option will reset your computer.
If you have vista then you have a somewhat new computer. That computer came with a box of discs and in those discs there should be an operating system CD, simply put it in your CD-Rom drive, boot up and press any key when it asks you two then follow the on-screen prompts, after this process (vista+fast comp. = 10min) it will reboot and show you the first couple of screens. go through-out the rest of the discs that came with the computer to reinstall drivers and applications.
You should buy an upgrade version of Windows Vista however your computer if running XP is likely not to be powerful enough to run windows vista. You should run Microsoft Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor before upgrading as this will show you any problems your computer may have running Vista.
You usually get it mostly when you upgrade from Vista/XP to Win7 on the same computer
The network card driver was incorrectly installed.
a windows vista is an upgrade for a normal windows it can still do everything but it is just a bit more high tech
i have found its compatible with everything i used with vista / xp, it should work with almost everything.
The Vista login screen remains displayed as long as the user name and password have not been fed in. One can however use the control panel to alter the time the computer has to stay idle before launching a screen saver or locking itself.
This was a problem with Windows Vista, but as far as I know it was fixed. It will be the resolution your computer is running the Game as. You may have to go into your Combat Arms settings and change it to a more perportional resolution for your computer screen.
If the computer with Vista doesn't have a floppy disk drive, you won't be able to. You could, however, open the document on another computer and then save it to a CD or portable disk drive. Then you should be able to upload it onto the computer with Vista (if the computer with Vista has a Word program installed. But even if the computer with Vista doesn't have Word installed, you can still upload it, but you won't be able to view it.)
