Yesterday just before switching off I noticed that SP2 was available via Windows Update. As I was going to bed, I thought I would leave it until today to install it. When I go to Windows Update, SP2 is no longer offered, although some other updates were. SP2 hasn't been installed, so where has it gone? Will it be offered again? -- f1charlie

Let me tell you folks, you will get nowhere if you think that Windows Speech Recognitions built-in "Help" will actually help you learn how to run the speech app. (WSR is short for Windows Speech Recognition) I gave up, _nothing_ in the Help section about how to make user-created macros, or user-created commands. Knowing how to do that is absolutely necessary if you

When I start my computer my Quick Launch bar shrinks in size to the point where none of my Quick Launch application icons are visible. I unlock the task bar and drag it so my program icons are visible and rearrange the icons to my preference and lock it .

I recently restored my computer back to factory settings with the system recovery discs, and I thought it would wipe my D drive, but it did not. I have saved everything I need on another hard drive and want to wipe this computer completely clean, including the d drive. Any suggestions on how it can be wiped? -- amadeusmozart

Hi Neal, I tried to phone you today to invite you to a breakfast this Sunday 10:30 am at Ely's Restaurant. Seems like the number I have for you has been disconnected. Are you interested in joining us? Sherwin

We joked about how our team consisted of some of the best IT Brains in the Universe but could not get Vista to run on an HP Pavilion dv2000. We spent over two days on this. One of the guys discovered that the BIOS didn't match the model and after updating the SATA controller driver from the correct model, Vista and all it's associated updates etc ran perfectly. So check your BIOS and make...

My computer is crashing constantly, and I believe it to be related to my Moby Dick of a rootkit. The reason I call it that is that it showed up one time when I was scanning my system with spysweeper, and before I could remove it, it crashed again.

Is there a way to set this in Vista cause I only get two options "Microphone" and "Line Input"

I can't access My Documents and Settings Folder in Windows 7 even though I'm the administrator. I want to rearrange and add some folders to the Start-All Programs. What am I not doing right?

After re-installing Vista, I've got about 40 security updates, several junk updates, but no SP1/SP2. Is this normal?

I just want a simple tool that can burn ISO image. It does not matter if it is a gui or command line tool. I'd rather use Vista native tool if it exists. I found that Windows 2003 Server resource kit has such a tool, but it requires installation of resource kit and Vista says that this resource kit is not compatible, so I did not install it.

Has anyone else had problems with Windows 7 when running in an RDP scession and turning off the Firewall Service with the session being disconnected and unable to RDP back into the machine?
