Gremlins!!! They've moved my Favorites from IE. I found them in my Music folder. I've gone to the Import/Export Wizard and selected Import. It shows C:\User\Diane\Documents\bookmarks.htm. Since I know the folder is now under Music, I hit the browse button. I then choose the Favorites folder under Music. Then I'm stuck. How do I get this selection into the "box" to import? -- Diane

I am becoming desperate. I am trying to upgrade from Windows XP Professional version 2002 Service Pack 3. The installation goes all right until it expands the files. It accesses the DVD drive, then I get the message: "Windows could not prepare computer to boot into the next phase of installation" and tells me to start again. It doesn't say what the problem is. I was having a bit of problem...

Is there a fix for this it looks unresolved: http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windows.vista.general/browse_thread/thread/8737432671263bf I can't add a context menu item to register dlls. None of the registry edits are working for me.

I have a gateway laptop running vista home. I was originally going to do a dual boot system and run xp on a partition on the hard drive so I could run the many incompatible programs that would not work on vista. I did the partitions and then I decided to use VirtualPC to run my programs. This worked great for months, then virtualPC's hard drive swelled up and almost filled my c drive. I got...

I just bought WindowsVista, and am trying to get used to Windows Mail. My contact list currently has two sections, both containing addresses A-Z. How can I amalgamate them into one list? Also, when I click on 'send & receive' why does the program go through sent messages, deleted messages, ...... before accessing the inbox? Thanks in advance. -- Louis Kwantes

I work for both a computer repair shop in Vermont (part-time) and an internet service provider, both of which are having customers call in and tell us that their internet is no longer working, yet their nic shows connected and they can ping yahoo, google, etc with successful replies. NO browsers work. 12 calls now within the past 24 hours.

Hi everyone. I'm having a problem with my CD Drive (FYI, I use the term loosely meaning "that thing into which I stick my discs". I believe that when it is used properly it is more specific) Basically, when I stick a DVD or the Vista OS Disc (made by gateway, shipped in my laptop box) the laptop will read it! And I have no problems. But, if I try to put in *any* other disc, whether it be...

Hi folks, one thing I do like about Vista is the search box at the top right of folder when in Explorer view. Is there any way to add this search box to other windows too? It would be especially useful when looking for images I am placing in Photoshop, CorelDraw, InDesign, etc. Thanks in advance for suggestions, Jo

Vista Ultimate SP1. When I shut down my computer it goes from the desktop to the blue-green Vista shut down screen, blinks, goes back to my desktop screen and then does a normal shut down. How do I prevent going back to the desktop again? Not a problem, just annoying. Thanks, Roger Las Vegas

My HP Pavilion keeps booting to "System Restore"? And after you do a restore to a different time, it boots right back up to that spot. It just started doing this after a Microsoft auto update which I can not find out what. The update was done around 1:00am yesterday. -- sag12

Is there a way to disable the ease of access utility icon on the bottom left corner of the login screen (and the screen when you lock the computer) Here at school I constantly get people messing with these settings when i lock my system and walk away. Should the lock screen not be a complete lock on changing the system? Thanks in advance

Is there a way to have you cke and eat too in answer to the greatest computer question of all time? Can you set a Vista computer to turn itself off and back on again at predetrminted times? Thanks... Bob

I have installed and used successfully the Primo PDF writer on my Windows XP machine. On my new machine, Vista - I have downloaded and installed Primo -- and it worked fine... until tonight. Now for some reason, from Word when I go to PRINT and select Primo PDF as my printer... and then Print... I can see the print icon on the status bar show the document "printing" --
