Hi I need some help to neutralise whatever Vista is doing in the colour management tab in printer properties for my Epson R1800 photo-printer. There are a huge number of options there but it is not clear what each one does and so far I have been unable to find any guide. I am an experienced Photoshop user used to working in a managed colour system -- my Eizo monitor is colour calibrated...

Hi Several times each day, I get lots of shortcuts with a wrong icon. This happens on the desktop, in folders as well in menu START. The problem can be solved for some time by killing explorer.exe and restart is using task manager. However, a few hours later that garbage is back again. How to stop this? Any idea?

I am having trouble using IIS. My problem is that I am far from an IT Pro and the only thing I want to use it for is testing my PhP scripts locally. I don't have any idea how to post the pages to my local server without having to jump through a million of those "Are You Sure?" bubbles that pop up in Vista. I want to be able to copy files to the inetpub/wwwroot directory and edit them...

I want to do this once so that all my programs can run under VISTA. Can I write a program in VB6 to automatically change the folder attributes on the C:\ folder so that clients, who may install VISTA, won't...

On the Microsoft Office Outlook Calendar, when you change time zones, all of your yearly appointments (like birthdays, anniversaries) come up as 2 day appointments and not 1. Is there a way to fix this or could it be under consideration for a future update? I notified Microsoft of this last year and they assured me it would be considered. It is really a pain and something I feel time...

1. I have noticed a lot of people, including myself have big trouble with Media Center in Vista when they upgrade from Windows XP Media Center Edition. The answers are always to do a clean install but I purchased the upgrade edition plus it would be a massive hassle. It would be ideal if we could just clean install/re-install Windows Vista applications such as Media Center. 2. How many...

Unfortunately summer never really came to Seattle this year-so we missed our cue. That being said, we are pleased to...

My screensaver has stopped working. This happened straight after configuring Office Outlook, although I can't see why that should should affect it. Can anyone help me with this. I have checked all the relevant settings and they are okay. I'm running Vista Home Premium. TIA Ed BTW it's about midnight here so I'll look in again in the morning.

I verified the windows process activation service and windows module installer services are running but it still isn't...

Where'd the print command go in Device Manager? I like to print the list to a file and compare it to older versions as things changed. Very handy to track down differences if things broke. But the 'Action' menu no longer has a "print" command.
