My PC tried to run its weekly backup tonight, but failed. This is the first time this has happened - the last successful backup was on 4th February 2008. Running Vista Home Premium, and I back up my C Drive files onto a second internal hard drive. This drive has two partitions (Z and F). Z is just used for backups, and there is still 176GB free out of 238GB on the partition. The error...

I keep getting "Access Denied". To what? It won't give me any more details. I don't know if it is complaining that it can't write to the destination drive (an HD attached via USB) or if it can't read some file. If it is the latter, why isn't it moving on? Originally, since it didn't offer to let me specify the account to run under, I let it use the default. That was when I started...

Hey I like you. Except for using my last name, can you please choose another? Otherwise, you're doing a good job, Martha (real name?) - I am serious this time. If you need help you may invent a method to reach me, but I don't see how... it's a Windows support forum + I am not going to post real email here. This money should go back to taxpayers, including us.

Why do I see only partial thread in a Newsgroups reader now, as some of the postings get removed while entire trhead still appears at http://www.winvistatips.com ?? We're missing several postings from Martha, then I go to http://www.winvistatips.com and there're all there but I can't respond to Martha? How is it possible? How can a posting not be shown in Newsreader but appears on that...

I can dictate 384 wpm, because that is the very fastest that I can speak, and still have another human understand what I am saying. That is the honest truth. I could show anyone in person this feat, if they were here beside me. Neither my hardware nor my software limited me, only the rate at which I talked limited me. My computer is a run of the mill model that has a 2.4 GHz Intel core 2...

Andy Pandy, you pathetic dumb-as-a-rock soul, if you are going to forge posts from me, at least remember the basics. You forgot to forge the line: "User-Agent" ....which in case of the real "Mark Conrad" should be: User-Agent: Thoth/1.7.1 (Carbon/OSX)

I migrated from xp to vista 18m ago I'm now on sp2 I copied my 'my documents' folder into documents, and gradually, as the mood takes me, I've moved directores from 'my documents' to 'documents' There are still quite a number of folders in 'md' Today I went to move one from md to documents and got the above message I then tried a 'drag and drop' with the same result As I'm the only person using...

Trying to get a little more life out of a Inspiron 1501 laptop. It has a 5400 RPM HD. I could buy a 7200 RPM HD. Do you need SATA 300 to keep up with the data from a 7200RPM drive? Or not. Trying to find specs on whether this Inspiron has a SATA 300 or 150 interface. Or I could get a solid state HD. Or I could get an ExpressCard SSD and use that as a 2nd drive for ready boost or swap file or just...

My laptop is updated as of date for wndows and all requred drivers. I am using...

I got 2 cars. I could hardly afford a bicycle in Russia. Shut up. I love it here. By the way why is the whole world still insist on using dollars after our collapse was hai;ed & cheered by your liberal media? Because it's even worse in your village. Yes we outsourced much of manufacturing to other countries, you're right. Do you know why? Because you're CHEAP. Only when labour rates become...

Alias is quite a two face. Shame on the corporations making money, while he yachts it away on monies made installing Ubuntu ITN News: MADRID - Air pollution has long been a fact of life in Spanish cities, but scientists now say it is not just smog that chokes people as they walk to work or stroll through the park. A new study has found the air in Madrid and Barcelona is also laced with...

Fulk Upuntoo. A word of warning if you're like me, own a Dell, Lenovo/IBM or HP notebook. Do not install any version, variation or anything related to Ubuntu on it. It WILL fulk your machine good and proper.

Is that craphead frank gone forever?

So who brokered that deal? I have a Studio Laptop I was going to reinstall the OS but can't because I have to wait for the owner to get me the Dell DVDs. So how does that work? Are the days of clean installations of Windows over?

A Simple but intriguing question... When i hit the Update button in my Windows Server 2008 Datacenter... Yeah, Windows Server 2008. By the way. WHY Microsoft don't have Windows Server 2008 in the Drop-down menu under Make new Thread? OR in the Support Center? The most updated thing that i was able to found was Windows Server 2003. Hey! Microsoft! Update your clocks! we are in 2009 and you...

Thread title says it all. My interest in Vista Speech is limited to finding out why I am having trouble getting _consistent_ speed/accuracy out of it. By accuracy I mean at least 98%, preferably 99%. By speed I mean at least 80 wpm. (plain everyday words, not technical words)
