Please help. I am at the end of my tether in this problem. I have been trying to get the Windows Update Service to run on Windows Vista Business Edition with complete failure on every attempt. When searching numerous forums, and MS Tech Supp Sites, all I get (closest) is an error that refers to letting the information through the firewall (Error reference 80072EE2), but I have switched the...

Assuming you can at least get Vista (or other versions of Windows) to boot yet things don't seem right, here a few places to look that may help you solve your problem. A. Using System Tools Click on the Start button, All Programs, then Accessories, System Tools and finally System information. You'll see a wealth of information about your hardware, drivers, codecs and what if anything is a issue...

I have a Vista Enterprise PC that has been running well for a couple of weeks. It was a fresh install onto 120gb SATA drive which was formatted durint the installation process. Everything fine until a couple of days ago when the PC bluescreened. No new hardware or software was added immediately prior to this event. The PC booted successfully after that, but tonight it has just...

Is there a way to configure a specific software to startup as Administrator? This software is a daytimer I use with all my contact details/reminders/ etc... It automatically boots up with startup. But it needs admin priv. So on boot up it provides a lot of errors. However, if I Run as Admin it works.

I am getting a black screen with only my mouse on the screen... I ahve tried to Crtl Alt and Delete and still no difference. As I move the mouse around the screen I happened to round across a spot that turns the pointer into a cursor for writing. I input my password and it works and able to get back into the desktop and everything appears for me.... Any reason this might happen???

Hi, I am using Windows Vista Ultimate. When i insert the Money Premium 2007 DVD to install the program, i get a message saying that i need to install the latest version of the Adobe Macromedia Flash Player.

Blu-ray drives are now available for a fairly reasonable cost. The most interesting drive is perhaps the LG GGW-H10N which can read both DVD HD and Blu-ray media in addition to the older DVD and CD-ROM formats. One catch, which is believed to apply to all the HD and Blu-ray drives, is the requirement to have a video adapter and a connected display that are both HDMI compliant if one is to...

Right now I'm a bit peed off. I bought Vista & ended up having to upgrade my ram capacity. I thought since my hard drive was nearly 4 yrs old I'd get a new one of those at the same time. Obviously I had to re-install the Vista OS. Now it's telling me that the product ID is already in use & I need another to activate. Now if I choose to format my pc at some point in the future, I'm basically...

Three updates are not installing - i.e., they fail. They were all detected by Windows Update. The three are for Office 2003 - but all I have installed is MS Project 2003. The three updates are KB920813, KB929064 and KB925251. I've tried downloading and installing them from the hard drive - but no go. Anybody else having this problem? Any ideas on how to solve?

I just bought a Acer T180-ud400b, with Windows Vista Home Basic. I can't get my printer to work. It shows as a Lexmark 510 series, but won't even print a test page. Help!!!!!!!

I read in the OE newsgroup that OE is not provided in Vista. I've not yet upgraded to Vista and wondering what is the provision for e-mail in Vista (Home Premium)? During an upgrade what would happen to all my OE messages? I have the ability to use Microsoft Outlook, but don't really like the program. My needs are pretty simple and Outlook is way over-management and overkill. Thanks in...

I tried running dreamscene, and an error popped up. On clicking on the little bubble, "The video file format is not supported, or there was an error decoding this video file" I realize this is a 'preveiw' but it sounds like others have gotten it to work. I'm using a Radeon 9800 pro.

As a frequent lurker and occasional poster I would like to share some thaughts about Vista home premium; I see a lot of people very disappointed in this new O.S. for various reasons, some are valid some are plain problems with DRIVERS and or OLD hardware. I build my own systems now for over 10 years, I always try to use upgradable hardware, not always top of the line but within reach of my...
