I have tried some tweaks and adjustments that I found via google.. any other ideas? Vista doesnt want to use my USB 2.0 flashdrive I have 1.25 gigs of ram if I up to 2, will I see any SIGNIFICANT improvment?

vista seems to decrease priorities on its own just because.. it likes to! For example its reduced priority to live messenger and windows explorer.. how can I make Vista to not do this by its own?

Does anyone know where I can get the software to burn CD and DVD's for my Vista OS?

Hi all. I have a new HP laptop that came pre-installed with Windows Vista Home Premium. I'd like to upgrade to Vista Ultimate, so I paid my $159.00 to Microsoft and downloaded the license file for the "Anytime Upgrade". I've done as the upgrade installation suggests and run the installation from my existing Vista Ultimate DVD (which has been used to install Vista on my desktop machine) -...

When viewing folders in XP, I could set up the folder parameters I liked to view (Name, Type, Size, Date Modified) and then tell the system I want to see that with ALL the folders. Now with Vista, you have the INANITY of folders types to struggle with, and when I insist that ALL folders be changed to show these, it is now "folders of this type." Why would Microsoft continue to f--k with an...

I intend to use Skype for intercontinental telephone calls to my relatives and friends Questions: 1- Is Skype Vista compatible, as I do not find anything on their website about this. 2- What is a good quality webcamera. I have tried a Logitech QuickCam Fusion, which according to the info on the box is Vista certified, but after installing the software and connecting the camera, a message...

Uninstalled the old SP1 RC refresh. Ran the SP1_rcr2RK file, and found Install Update for Windows (KB937287). Installed that, been about 50 min now, haven't seen any other updates or the SP yet. Any ideas? Only update that I've found and installed was KB937287. Any ideas?

Has anyone heard of problems trying to connect to an iMac for file sharing, from a PC running Vista? When running Vista, I can connect to all devices on my network except the iMac, which is running OSX. I can connect to all devices, including the iMac, from another PC that is running Windows XP. I can also connect to the iMac from the Vista machine using PuTTy with SASH. When I try to...

Hello All, I am finally replacing my old, antiquated Windows Me PC with a new, top of the line Windows Vista PC. I want to bring over all my Internet Explorer favorites and Outlook Express emails which number in the hundreds and are both meticulously organized in folders. Obviously, I would like to prevent having to manually re-do all this on a new PC. If it matters, I am currently using...

I'm not going to throw it away. Can't someone do something about this? -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com

In XP I could right click on a folder, select "Share" and follow my nose through the panels to allow the folder to be shared over the network. Doing the same thing under Vista seems to allow me to specify other accounts on the machine to share the folder with, but how do I share it across the network? If I follow the sharing prompts, and enter the name of my other computer on the network,...

I've heard some people having the same issue but i haven't got a solution. I was wondering if there is a hotfix or something similar that address this issue.

Mark Conrad's post asking how to hack Vista to hibernate reminded me of a situation I encountered several months ago. Here's the gist of it: I put my laptop to sleep, packed it up into my backpack within a booq sleeve, and approximately 30 minutes later took it out of the backpack to use again. The problem was that my laptop had overheated during this relatively short period of time, and became...
