Since I installed the upgrade version of Vista home premium, I realized that my Tweakui for XP would not work with Vista. No problem... however, Vista will not let me uninstall it saying it only works with XP. I know this. Does anyone know how I can uninstall it? I don't want to delete the folder. I want to remove it from the computer entirely and properly. Thanks for any help

It started when I first installed Vista Home Premium. Some days the DVD-ROM wouldn't show up in Device Manager or My Computer and then some days both the DVD-Rom and CD-RW wouldn't show. I could restart the computer and they would show up, but the next day they wouldn't be there again. Well now they don't show up at all and restarting doesn't help anymore. I would probably just reformat from...

Well, I thought I'd troll the newsgroup today. I'm not a big MS supporter, but I'm definately not a linux supporter (so i guess that makes me an MS supporter doesn't it alias?). Anyway, I thought I'd share my opinion on why linux is fighting an up-hill battle. Recently, you may have read (thats if idiot tibirius hasn't posted it yet) news about the new microsoft surface. Now, what I like...

I have been trying to resolve a Vista/Internet issue for a while, even after my ISP came out and proved their modem/line were OK.

I hit the jackpot with the Ethernet card's driver. Although the driver...

Hi , my MFC application calls the internal onscreen keyboard osk for touchscreen purpose (2000, XP). But now in Vista the osk takes about 15-20 sec to pop up. With this behaviour I can NOT use it further on. Why is the osk so so slowly in Vista? Does anybody know a solution for this problem? Thanks for any hint. Regards Eddy

Here's something I only came across in Vista: Most of the times after I close Outlook 2007, the OUTLOOK.EXE *32 process remains hanging, and has to be killed in the Task Manager. I tried repairing Office, ain't workin'. Not even after a fresh Windows install, followed by the most careful Office 2007 installation. Am I the only one that has experienced this?
