I've seen many posts about problems with Sleep / Resume relating to hardware but not the problem that I am currently experiencing which is software related. Vista Ultimate x64 machine happily enters Sleep and Resumes via WoL, all appears to work fine. However, two services although still running don't respond as they should (Squeezecenter from SlimDevices and PS3 Media Server). In order to get...

The remote desktop client is included in all editions of Vista. What is not supported in Home Premium is incoming remote destkop connections, how can I get it to enable incoming connections from XP Pro?

I am trying to finds out if there is an API for the snipping tool and if so what is it called I ask as I need to save images of forms in an MS Access database as images.

My right click no longer brings up the menu anywhere (windows explorer, Start, my browser). The actual button works but it functions like a left click. I've tried System Restore in case it was something I changed by mistake, but no luck. I know that there an option in registry editor to turn this on or off and I have been having trouble with my regedit- its blocked at start up and I have to...

Is there a Windows 7 Beta newsgroup on this server? Or anywhere for that matter? Thanks.

I have my taskbar set to autohide. Lately, and intermittently, it's getting stuck and will not hide. However, it's hiding the bottoms of my open windows. I can go into properties when it does this and get it to hide by changing the properties and then changing them back again. But when I go to the taskbar again, it gets restuck. Restarting windows is the only way I've found to correct...

I wanted to test out Windows 7, so I made a backup of all my programs and 'documents' (http://www.vistax64.com/#). I used Automatic Backup, included with Vista. After backing up everything on 'my computer' (http://www.vistax64.com/#), I installed Windows 7 (upgraded) '32bit' (http://www.vistax64.com/#). When I decided it was time to go back to Vista, I did a System Recovery ('hp'...

A friend has just bought a laptop with Vista Home Premium 64-bit. I'll be helping him get it set up and install some programs. Installation of one program will require that I copy four updated .dll files to its home folder a couple of levels down under Program Files when Vista is not running (the files are running when Windows is and can't be copied over then). I can handle that in systems...

i cannot seem to figure out the MS Windows Update for this OS. i do not like my updates to do anything automatic. I just check about once every 1-2 weeks. problem is that I cannot get to the same update page as I am used to with another machine that I run using XP Pro. What am I missing here? Is there a way to set it to simulate what it looked like with XP? I mean, I want to get used to the...

It runs very smoothly, and another thing that is great about it is that it detects multiple processors :) unlike some versions of its predecessor. Overall my system is running very stable... here is a screenshot of the performance: http://americanpridebt.googlepages.com/windows7systemspecs.jpg]

I have a Dell Inspiron 530s purchased 5/08. I upgraded from Vista to Vista Ultimate. I recently tried to install the Windows 7 Beta and received a message that it could not identify my drives and I could not download the program. I tried to do a System Restore and received the following message: There was an unexpected error in the property page: The Volume Shadow Copy Service used by...

I have the latest Sony Sound Forge 9.0(e) upgrade. I am finding that some of the parts do not work with Vista 64-bit. The primary function that I am trying to use is the audio stream recorder. In the 64-bit world and even in the 32-bit compatability mode, this software will not monitor sound streams and therefore will not record streams. I have contacted SonyMedia and they state that there are...

1. Which version of VISTA are you using? 2. How frequently do you encounter operating system anomalies such as freezing, crashes, inoperable functionality requiring re-booting, etc.? 3. How frequently do you re-install VISTA?

Interesting...I couldn't find a microsoft.public newsgroup for Internet Explorer 7 (IE7)?... or IE8 for that matter, beta or otherwise. Is this along with the Windows 7 beta being covered exclusively through the web Microsoft Discussion Groups? I've read that that is the case with W7s beta. I am experiencing an irregularly occurring freeze problem with IE7 for some still unknown reason...

I have a while ago installed AVG internet security (had Panda before, but it was no good) I have a question: I want to decide myself which programs shall get permission to connect to internet. Where do I find that option? i am grateful for answer soon Thanks in advance

Hello, I have a Dell Opti 745 running Vista Ultimate, the IP Address is statically assigned, and I'm connected to a Corp. network via Cisco Switch. The problem I'm having is that the NIC will just stop working at random times. Mostly, this will occur over night when I'm not using it. The only thing logged in the Outlook disconnect from the Exchange Server, so I do know the times it's...

In XP and Outlook I had Folders titled “Tennis Group”, “Friends US”, “Village Group”, etc. Those came up when I hit To, Reply & Forward in my emails. I opened them and clicked on the desired ones to add to the address line. In Vista Contacts I made the same groups, but when in Windows Mail I hit “To:” or try to use “Reply or Forward” only a list of maybe 250 names and my “Contact Groups” come up...

I posted this issue, 04 Jan 2009, in the IE forum, but there have been no replies, so I am posting here. I apologize if I have erred in my decision. Months to years ago, IE would inform me that a streaming audio file could be played within IE. Is is possible to configure IE 7, on Vista SP1 to do this? If so, how? I looked through IE 7's internet options advanced tab. To the best...
