When I hit the send button, this mail agent says it cannot copy this message to the Sent folder. I thought that was the same thing as saying "this message cannot be sent". Sorry about that! Charles Thunderbird 3.0.4, Vista Home Premium,

WMP says it does not recognize MVI_1138.AVI on my desktop. It played it three times yesterday!!! Any suggestions? Charles

Yesterday I downloaded MVI_1138.AVI from my camera. Then I played it (so it was good) Then I played it for one of my children (it was good) Then I played it for my SO (it was still good) Today it will not play. The message is that WMP does not recognize the file type. This is interesting, because it thinks it is trying to play MVI_1138 (no suffix).

Even when I do not have a disk in the DVD drive, the drive spins up upon wakeup from Sleep mode. Is there a setting a Vista setting or maybe BIOS setting that can stop this? Vista Home Premium 64

I have five User Accounts (one of which is Administrator and one of which is Guest). However, only two accounts show when I log on (two of the 'other' accounts). How do I get all the accounts to show in the logon window? Thank you.......

A friend is trying to setup speakers on a computer he was given and has not been able to get any sound from it. I believe there are (at least) two types of speaker system, one type requires a power source to power the speakers and another (probably older) does not? - Can anyone tell me what these two systems are called? (I believe there called Wired and Unwired) or something like that)? -...

I have 2 computers (a primary and a secondary computer) running Win 7. I have used Win 7 "Backup and Restore" to make a "Backup Set" and a "WindowsImageBackup" for the primary computer on a small External HD drive attached to it. However, today I got a large external HD and would like to attach it to the primary computer and give the smaller external HD to the secondary computer, for it to...

I see were some newer computer come with Restore partition. I guess if I mess my machine up so bad I can use this partition get back to some semblance of a factory machine. My question a - Were is the Restore Partition keep on the HDD? - How would I activate it if I needed to? - Is a Restore Partition a complete 1.1 of the original O/S and its files as it was shipped? It would seem that...

(Also posted in old thread relating to the subject) Hi, I joined the forum specifically for this problem and this is my first post. I'm just going to spare you all the introductory bs and get down to my concerns. And I didn't bother reading past the first page of this thread even though it is apparently like four years old and a solution has probably already been found. Forgive me, but I'm...

What OS do you have on your Axim51v? I have an Axim30 (windows mobile 2003SE) and would like to sync it with a vista(tm) pre-rc1 build 5536, but don't know how to do it. Where do I get wmdc? Somebody said at control panel/additional options. It is not there, only logitech camera control.

Hi, I know about FAT32, but I know little about NTFS. Assuming both hard drives are not "fragmented". If a large (200MB) file is deleted, is it more likely to be overwritten (space it occupied on the hard disk is overwritten) on a FAT32 hard disk compared to a NTFS? Thank You in Advance, John PS, Remove "ine" from my email address

On my laptop with Vista Home Premium I had not used any physical printers or their software, but did use a few print-to-pdf programs for printing to files. Recently I installed (a)software so it could access two (identical)Epson printers I have always used with my PC. All of the printing goes well as long as I print from a Windows Explorer file with Notebook-type apps, and probably...

Where can I post Windows 7 queries? Why is Microsoft refusing to include a W7 newsgroup? Do they have an alternative means of answering user questions? Not an inconvenient forum, I hope!

I have just purchased a U3 USB flashdrive, primarily to use with Ready Boost to speed-up my PC. Ready Boost works fine - but the U3 software does not appear to work (nothing happens when I try to run it - even as Administrator). Is U3 compatible with Vista? Is there anything I can do to get it to work or should I wait until U3 update the software to make it work with Vista? Bobby

Suddenly the Project Explorer windows in VB6 has disappeared from my existing project and any other that I open. I have searched the Web and find many references to the same problem but have not found any answer.. What did I do and how can I undo it? Marv

In trying to install Java 6 u18 I started getting the message THIS ACTION ONLY VALID FOR PRODUCTS CURRENTLY INSTALLED At that point Java, which had always worked, stopped working. After reading this forum I downloaded the Windows Install Cleanup and removed the Java 6 u18 from the list of installed products. Java does not appear in the Control Panel under Programs, the registry

I have no problem opening jpg files when they reside in an e-mail message or even in a folder in 'Computer'. My problem is this, when I go to open a jpg file on my Desktop, nothing happens until I right click and 'Open with' and then make a choice. What don't I understand here. I'm running Vista Home Premium, SP2 and up to date with the lastest WU. Thanks, Dave Horne

I just read that Microsoft is stopping support of Windows Vista effective April 13, 2009. I hope this is not true since it means that system updates will be discontinued and Windows Essentials will no longer provide security for this Windows application. What can you tell me about this? Thanks, Gene L.
