I'm resubmitting this question because it wasn't answered the first time. In fact, it was deleted. I just checked. IE8 won't sort the favorites. When I right-click & click on "sort by name", it won't sort. Any idea why? How do I fix the problem? Thank you. David

Hi, I had black screen problem few days ago. I used System Restore + Reboot to fix the problem and finally got everything back again working even faster than before. But, 3 days later, now I am getting the so called Blue Screen problem and nothing seems working. I tried the System Restore many times but still getting Blue Screen!

I am running Vista Home Premium 32 SP3 and use an HP 500 GB Personal Media Drive (PMD) for backing up the machine. I only have 88 GB of used space on my 325 GB drive C, yet the backup of the files and folders on drive C appears to be *much* larger than 88 GB. For example, when I click on the drive letter, L, of the PMD and click Properties, I find that there is 294 GB of used space and only...

Hello, I need to be able to see the total size of my folders (for backup purposes) Sometimes I can right-click on a folder name in explorer and select 'properties' to see its total sixe, but sometimes the 'properties' option is not available. Does anybody know why? Can I get the folder size to show under the 'size' column in 'details' view ?

When playing online games (or performing other intense activities like video editing) it can really screw up the whole experience. I don't like not being on control of what my PC is doing. It feels like I am along for the ride instead of driving as I should be. The human should always get what it wants - not be the slave of the machine.

In the Control Panel\Programs and Features I find: Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SPI Microsoft Corporation Under Publisher there is nothing in the fist. Is it OK?

Im trying to install the software for the Panasonic TX10/ZS7 camera. But during installation I get an error message saying "mscoree.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem". However, reinstalling does not fix it. On checking my \C folder, I notice there are dozens of mscoree.dll in the C\Windows\winsxs folder. Should mscoree.dll perhaps be in the Systems32...

Hi, I've recently switched from a Vista Ultimate OS in which i have been using one of the official Dreeamscenes (downloaded from Ultimate updates) where it shows a water droplet dripping from a leaf with a bright blurry Backdrop. However, i have since reformated and am now using Windows 7 with the dreamscene hack and I have been looking for the above dreamscene everywhere on the internet, but to...

Running Vista Home Premium SP2. The subject says "on desktop" only because I haven't looked for signs of this problem elsewhere yet. The problem seems to manifest itself in different ways. I'll describe the most obvious way, and if there's no response, I'll try to describe other symptoms as best I can; although the more I experiment, the more it's starting to look as though I'm zeroing in...

S.O. Vista Home Premium SP2 Problem: opening folders. For some time it is impossible to open the folder double click, crashes with error message: Windows Explorer has stopped working .... I can only open them with right-click Explorer, while right click Open gives me the same problem. I tried, in vain, downloading ShellExView and disabling all non-Microsoft items. Solutions?

Hi, I have setup Vista (a reisntall of the OS) with a username who is also an administrtator but need to find some files within the hidden files and folders (documents and settings/user ...etc). When I try to access the documents and settings folder I am denied access. How can I gain access as default to all files on the computer. I am administrator. Cheers

Maybe not the right forum, but this is my question: If I want to clone a FAT 32 disk to a preformatted NTFS new disk. Is the cloning process then automatically going to change (re-format) the preformatted NTFS system on the target disk to FAT32, or do I have to first re-format the NTFS disk to FAT 32 before cloning? P.S. I want to keep FAT32 for some MAC/PC issues. Thanks for any advise.

I've been using Vista Ultimate very successfully since it was first introduced. Today when I booted my Sony laptop it went into a process "setting up desktop" as if were a brand new start-up. When it did come up everything (shorcuts) was missing from my desktop and all the settings were different (e.g., screen saver). I immediately did a hard re-boot and after 2 tries I got a successful...

Hello All I'm hoping someone can help me with this long-standing problem with both XP and Vista on separate laptops and every computer I've had (except I think Win98). I'm thinking there may be no solution, but what it's worth a try. With both of my machines, I have the taskbar (as well as other toolbars) set out to maximum size - typically half the screen - and to auto hide. (This makes a...

I am using Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit) and I have an older spreadsheet program to install that I understand should be run in a "Compatibility Mode". May I ask for additional information on this? How would I do this?

A Knowledge Base article suggests I use Folder Redirection to fix a problem I'm having: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940291 But I haven't a clue how to do that in Vista. Can someone explain to me what I need to do? And is there a danger of it screwing up the Registry?
