Hello: I ran Easy Transfer to move files from my XP desktop to my new vista laptop, but a few minutes into the process I got a message that my secondary HD (D:) was now full and the process aborted. Ever since I've been getting popups that the drive is full, and I know that can't be a good thing since it contains system files and such. I even restored my machine (an HP Pavilion DV6226US) to...

After I upgraded to vista my Outlook (not outlook express) no longer runs. When I click the icon it says I need outlook express 4.01 or later to run Outlook. So I tried to install outlook express which is bundled with an older version on IE and Vista won't let me install it. So I am stuck now wondering how I can get Outlook to work again. Is it possible just to install the missing drivers or...

I have noticed recently that when I restart my PC running Vista, on entering windows again, the same file explorer windows that I had open before are still open. Is this normal activity? I thought a restart meant just that, and not a "continue". I did not click the hibernate button by mistake ! Any thoughts? Dan

I'm have Vista home basic. Whenever I copy a file from any directory or location, and then perform a paste command to the desktop, the file does not appear on the desktop. If I repeat the paste command, Vista tells me that the file allready exists on the desktop and asks me if I want to replace it. If I then reboot my computer- the pasted file appears- albeit somewhat hidden because its...

When I record from TV using Vista MCE, I usually start the recording some minutes before the show is programmed to start. That leaves me with an automatically generated thumbnail from the previous show in the media center. Is there any way of changing the thumbnail manually, or letting the system look a minute or two later in the file for a thumbnail

I am trying to install a program from a cd and half way through it crashes and I get the above message, can anyone help will post the message and more info if needed. Thanks

Is there a setting that I have to change? I create Word doc's and save them to a remote server by typing in the address in the save as text box. It connects to the server just like normal I enter my username and password and navigate to the folder I want and save it in. This worked fine with the previous version of Word. Now since installing Word 2007 I have had problems. It tries to...

"The file was blocked because it does not have a valid digital signature that verifies its publisher" The file is from Apple and has a certificate, so how do I install this program?

"MICHAEL" wrote in message ... You have to register. The site says it is Vista compatible. I have not installed, yet. I offer no claims as to its reliability. However, I have seen numerous folks say they like it. http://www.ashampoo.com/frontend/registration/php/trial_step1.php?session_langid=2&edition_id=2805 ...

Hi, Does anyone know how to help Media Centre find my pictures. I have tried running the set up from inside Media centre again adn it shows the folders that pictures are in, but 0 pictures? This is frustrating. Even when re-running setup nothing seems to change. For example if I do not choose any folders to watch, the centre still has the folders from previous install/set ups? Best...

I don't know if this can be of help to anyone. I had a connection delay of 5 minutes with Vista Home Premium on cold boot or on wakeup from hibernation. Drove me crazy - spent hours on the phone with HP (what a waste!). Finally one day I turned Windows Firewall off and, presto!, immediate connection. Now as soon as I wake up the computer, I turn off Windows Firewall, wait one second, turn it on...

Okay, just for everyone's knowledge, Vista has this annoying habit of asking if I want to save a password. On my sites, I have several with similar domains and differnt passwords. Vista mucks them up. This - plus an annoying habit of locking up on a regular basis - decided me that I'd just simply go with SUSE 10.2 and create a VMWare XP machine. So, last night I painlessly installed 10.2 on my...

Howdy All, Just done a full reinstall of Vista Home Premium. Everything was working fine, just wanted to go back to a clean slate. However.... Since reinstalling, and setting up my Wireless Desktop 7000 kit, the mouse is fubar'd. It seems to start off ok, then it stutters like crazy after a while. I have tried to download the Reliability update for USB stack in Windows

I am thinking Windows should have two different privilege user account for one user. One account will be a limited privilege account and is used to browser the web and get Emails. the other account should have administrator privileges. Two account only needs one time logging in. In order to access two accounts simultaneously( no logging off, or switch involved), there should ...

Like many people, my system (vista home premium) takes a century to copy large files. First, the File Copy dialog just sits there with title "Calculating time remaining". Then, it gets going and copies the file in about 10-20 times what it had taken XP. I've taken the time to debug the problem a little bit, but haven't found a solution. Using process monitor from sysinternals.com, I've...

Hi, The zipflder feature slows windows explorer when list the content of a directory that contains lots of zip files. I tried "regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll" as I did for Windows XP but got an error message: "The module zipfldr was loaded but the entry-point DllUnregisterServer was not found. Make sure that zipfldr is a valid DLL or OCX file and then try

I just got a brand new laptop with Vista on it. Been using it for couple of weeks. Love it. I was able to install/ uninstall programs w/o a prob. But then suddenly, when I went to the uninstall function from the control panel, it didn't display all my programs. It just displayed like 20 different types of Microsoft Office 07 and Catalyst Control center and a couple of other programs. I...

Could not completly remove Mozilla Thunderbird thru the control panel. I tried from "all programs" also. Thunderbird is still somewhere, but I cant find what is holding it. Should I use the "helper.exe", which appears be be the uninstaller, and what would be the proper order/method for removing programs? -- Britep
