Vista brand-newbie. I installed my beloved TweakUI from Win 2K Pro. It installed and it worked once. In fact, it even modified itself to add a bunch of Vista stuff! (Truly!) (Really thoughtful, I thought.) But from then on it won't run at all. (Either from the Control Panel or from its Power Toys folder.) I always get this message: "Windows cannot find ;'RunLegacyCplElevated.exe.' Make sure...

Hey, I am using an Acer Aspire 5315 notebook... It came with Vista HomeBasic, and I have upgraded it to HomePremium. i have also put an extra 1G of RAM in it. It has a system rating of 2.5, and says its compatible for Aero. I'm not too computer savvy, so I don't know any more specs of it.. Now, the problem is I can't get Aero Glass on it. It is able to select the Aero theme, that's all fine,...

Hi, I installed vista the other day and so far i've only found one thing that annoys me to death.

(i have few folders in my root folder,...

I recently purchased a laptop with Vista Home Premium. The hard drive was partitioned into a C: drive (approx. 29 Gb) and a D: drive (approx. 105 Gb). I've installed Microsoft Office, the trial version of Visual Studio, Google Pack, and a few miscellanous programs. Most of the software defaults to install on the C: drive and doesn't provide an option to re-direct the installation to a...

Hi all, I just purchased a new laptop from Dell. Size of the C drive is 220 GB. Now I would like to create two more drives (namely: F & G as I plan to install Windows XP on F and some data on G).
