While I can get to this website http://dallasisd.org/curriculum when using another computer that doesn't have VISTA, the two computers that have it don't allow us to go there. We get the message above and when we click on " Continue to this website" because we know it is okay (work/school related), it doesn't allow us to go. What security settings need to be off so that this doesn't happen....

Hi, Are there any Vista Gadgets availble to improve English Vocabulary? Thanks in advance, Nagesh

System is a 64 bit system. Upon startup, Defender respons with: Application failed to initialize: 0x800106ba. For 2 weeks now I have tried all suggestions from wed sites including Microsoft with no success. Believe it has something to do with KB915597 (Definition 1). Update insists on trying to install it but comes up with failure. I just looked at performance monitor and it tells me that...

Hello, I'm not sure what I did, but since a few weeks ago, a pop-up user access control window pops up, asking me to type in an administrator password to continue when I try to run a program. I have a single user account on my machine and I never defined an administration password. Until recently, the UAC window just asked me whether I was allowing the program to continue but did not ask for...

I BOUGHT A DELL pc. It came with a free upgrade to Vista when it came out. I received the upgrade pack from Dell but there was no product key or it got thrown out--it came shrink wrapped on a piece of cardboard!! I have done the install but now am stuck because it wants the product key to continue. I can't reverse it so the PC is basically useless. What do I do?? Dell says I am screwed...

Hi there, trying to send a .doc file (word 97/2000/xp) created by openoffice writer as a fax by choosing print tab, - fax ("windows fax scanner", o.s vista business). But it often happens the preview is just a blank page and a blank fax is sent! What's the problem? Thanks! -- A.

I am frustrated by a right click problem on my HQ laptop mousepad that has disabled normal right click functions such as copying and pasting. The right click button will open a tab, so it is not a mechanical issue, but it never produces a drop down menu as would be normal. I am able to highlight with the left click button, but as soon as I right click the highlighted area, the highlighting...

I find that when I hit the Start button and it gives me a list of files many of them are files up in the cloud on Dropbox. I would like to only be offered the choice of files local to my PC. Is there a way to limit the search? TIA -- Larry Smith

I originally posted this to the mail group but it seems dead there, or my newsreader isn't picking up the posts. I'm guessing few people are using Vista anymore. I'm hoping someone here is familiar with this problem. With almost every new email I get on my laptop (Vista 32 bit/WindowsMail) I'm now getting a very annoying popup that says "Revocation information for the Security Certificate is...

I just did a System Recovery on my Vista desktop and the Snipping Tool is not there now. I can't seem to find a place to download it from. How can I replace it as I use it quite a bit. TIA --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast! Antivirus protection is active. http://www.avast.com

Greetings, group. My first post here. (I used to hang out on the Win2000 groups a lot, then WinXP; but now that I'm using Windows 8.1, I figure *this* group is more appropriate.) I ran into a problem today: I found that I cannot create new files in the root directory of my C: drive (ie, "C:\"). I've never had reason to try to do so in the 2 months or so I've had this Asus notebook running...

Anyone know how I can get Permission to remove a corrupt version of Avast antivirus software from a Vista laptop, 32-bit? It shows in Uninstall a Program but I get an error and it wont uninstall. Avast has no option to Uninstall and the downloaded MS software called MSfixit.ProgramInstalluninstall.RNP cannot remove it either. When I try to manually remove it I get the Need Permission crap...

Hi all Just had a call from a lady whose Logon Password is being rejected on her Vista Home Premium PC, (and of course there was no backup image policy in place !!!). So, does a system "Restore Point" contain the SAM file, i.e. would a "System Restore" restore an uncorrupted SAM file ? regards, Richard

Running Vista Ultimate 32bit Sp2 I have added a couple of shortcuts to the "Send to" folder in what I thought was the appropriate place (c:\Users\my name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Send to", but even after a reload the new items don't appear in a right-click in explorer "send to" menu. I do get a few items and a couple of disc drives only in the menu. What am I doing wrong?

On a Windows Vista Ultimate machine, when trying to install Windows Vista sp 1 from a CD one of the following two errors occur: 1) The machine says that it must be rebooted to continue with the install. After rebooting (several times sometimes) the same error will likely appear, or 2) The installation just randomly fails (ie stops installing) and a generic 'Failed to Install Service Pack...

The exe is scanpst.exe I am getting signon screens with every timed download. The error says to use the scanpst utility. It is not available from my view. -- Ronnie

I don't see a Windows 7 newsgroup anywhere. Can I ask Win 7 questions here? If not, can someone point me to the appropriate group? DE

When I boot my laptop, I get this message that says Now, I don't know what program uses this file. I searched the internet, couldn't find anything. So, I decided to remove the reference from the registry. I used regedit and searched for the file. And I found the entry. But the problem is, I cannot delete the entry. It doesn't allow me to. Any ideas what I can do?
