Little Frankie run away last year and has been selling crack and turning tricks to support his tremendous internet cafe habit. I know being raised in the back of a ho house probably had much to do with the way little Frankie turned out, but I've straightened by life out and now it is time to help that poor little Frankie. I've stoped hoing, crack, and drinking. If you all could find a way to...

WE purchased a new HP PC with Windows Vista Premium. Turned on Japanese IME, the same was we use on our XP PC's But discovered there is some kind of bug, that Vista thinks you are using a Japanese keyboard, even though using US keyboard with IME. So everytime you press SHIFT... the wrong character is displayed. This is infuriating as you can imagine. We did the full 9 yards with HP support, who...

I am the only user on my laptop. I accepted the Toshiba settings when I bought the machine, but I realise that there are a number of features that are disabled that (as an administrator) I should be able to use. for example: 1. Windows Defender will show me the details of start-up programs but not allow me to remove/enable/disable anything (the buttons are greyed-out/disabled). 2. There...

Defender alerts me that it is blocking some start-up programs (little yellow speech-bubble in sys-tray says "Click here to see which programs are being blocked"). When I click the alert it opens Defender, but there is no indication of which program has been blocked. How can I find out? thanks M

I too, like many others have a problem with Windows Installer. My computer was running Windows XP until it crashed about 6 months ago. After many frustrating months of unsuccessful attempts to sort out the problem I was advised to purchase a new Vista operating program. I now rum Vista Home Premium.

I've been running Vista Ultimate x86 for about a month, I'm quite happy with it. This is the first complete crash of the OS I experienced. At the time of the crash, my computer was moderately busy: ripping a CD with EAC, syncbackup was trying to establish a connection to a network share, one instance of Firefox was open. A couple of explorer windows were open as well. At one point the...

I am presently running Windows XP Home Edition. My PC is getting old and need replacement soon. I will probably get the new Vista OS with the new PC. I have heard I may have a problem with my present I/O devices (Printers, Modems, DSL Gateway) when I switch to a PC with Vista. I know there is a program called "Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor 1.0" that is available from MS. Does this program...

I am looking for a media software program (roxio etc) that WORKS WELL with Vista for my new computer. I was looking at Roxio Creator 9 but even though it is "Vista approved", I have seen posts that there are problems. I would appreciate any advice. Thanks

I wrote a vocabulary flash-card type program in MS Visual Basic 6.0 on a 98SE computer. The program ran fine on 95/98/ME/2000. For it to run on XP, I had to move a copy of the winmm.dll from one directory to another, because MS had put the file in a different place, but after that it ran find on XP too. Now a friend, who runs the same program in another town, has switched to Vista and when he...

Hi, I was wondering if someone can advise me.... We have about 200 Vista computers in a Windows 2003 domain with 10 servers. If we browse the network via "View computers and devices" in the Network and sharing Center it takes about 60 seconds before all computers are being displayed. It took XP machines take about 3 seconds to display all computers in the network neighborhood.
