Been doing a daily backup of my C: drive to a 20 gig partition on a second HD in the PC for about 3 weeks. Now I'm getting messages that this partition is running out of room. 1) Is there a way to automatically only save the last 5 or 6 backups? 2) VISTA help says to delete backups as labelled such as: "Backup Set 2007-05-13 163200"

In Windows Vista Business Ed. 32-bit, there are 2 software solutions updates, SP 35297 and SP35417 for Hp Backup and Recovery Manager, versions 4.0.11 and 4.0.14, respectively. I cannot successfully install either SP. They both hang. One (35417) stops responding with the "This program is blocked due to compatibility issues" message. The other hangs with the message "Restore point management...

Seems I hit the nail on the head once more when I kept asking the question: "Where is the REAL Vista that was promised to us with longhorn?".. it seems that these people are trying to find it..... Can you imagine? Vista is such a flop that people are willing to go back in time to find something better.. lol Vista could have been so much better.. it could have been a work of art...and...

Vista has been running great for over a month until today when I tried to access Device Manager. I had access it many times in the past. However now I get a window open with the following: MMC cannot open the file C:\Windows\System32\devmgmt.msc This may be because the file does not exist, is not an MMC console, or was created by a later version of MMC. This may also be because you do not...

If I go on holiday from UK to USA and buy Vista there, will it work in UK? (I am asking because it costs half as much in USA.) -- Chris

As brief as possible: We are using Vista Small Business and have an admin and standard user account. We need to always allow admin access, so this has to be set in properties - compatibility - run as admin, correct? Then it will always run this way in both the admin and standard account. Also in the standard account we want to restrict what programs the standard user could access. How can we...

It's replaced by a white envelope, but it still says Microsoft Outlook. When...

Why does vista not allow you to make conference calls through yahoo?

One of the most common questions I've seen asked here is if it's possible to hide the Windows Vista partition from Windows XP installations because of the bug where Windows XP will delete the system restore points for all Vista installs on that machine if it sees the drive . One solution is to use Bitlocker drive encryption which rarely works and another is to use 3rd party paid products...

I'm really glad linux distros don't fragment, at least they don't according to our resident linux loser trolls (you know the ones). However, just in case your linux distro should per chance, become fragmented, here are 4 1/2 pages worth of defragmenters to chose from and download to defrag with. :-) http://www.filewatcher.com/_/?pd=1&q=defrag%5B-_.%5D* (snort) Frank

In Windows XP there was a way to turn off all transition effects so when you maximised a window it appeared immediately without that annoying expand animation and when you rolled out a drop down list or menu it appeared immediately without the transition. I find those transitions really annoying. How can I turn them all off in Vista?
