R. Giskard Reventlov,

You may also want to check with Microsoft directly for additional
support. Microsoft does have an official Windows Vista Support Forum
located here . It is supported by product
specialists as well as engineers and support teams. If the advice you
receive here does not resolve the problem, you may want to check the
threads over at TechNet.

I had the same thing happen too me, with my HP PAVILION DV7 NOTEBOOK, went
to the HP website and updated my bios and it fixed the problem, I am running
Windows home premium
