Hello I have Winows Vista Business PL and Office 2007 Proffessional PL (Polish). When I get an e-mail with attached file which consist in the name CYRYLLIC letter I have problems: - I cannot open the file directly from Outlook or openned file is empty - even if I save the attachement on hard drive and change the name the problem is not solved (sometimes files after saving have the size o 0kB!...

I have 2 questions on displays: 1. What and where is the file for display executable? I hate to take 2 steps (personalization to display settings) to access it. I would like to create a shortcut and go directly there. I searched "display" in Windows folder but there is no executables were found. 2. I use external monitors on my laptop at home and office. Both has its own location. Vista seems to...

I've been able to find countless references to the above message but the situations do not seem to be *exactly* like mine, or the solutions presented did not work for the original poster. Here's my saga: I had an XP machine die on me. There were 3 physical hard drives in there, and there are things I want to keep from all 3. All 3 were formatted and populated by the XP machine. I got one of...

I've been seeing a task from feedback panel app call localreader.exe. It uses one core to the max when it runs. What is it doing and why can't it play fair with the other apps?

Preparing to format c and d and then reinstall Vista because of some major problems. Have a big terabyte G drive and a DVD drive to save valuable files to. But I can't see a simple way to save/export the contacts other than .csv file. nor can I find the file(s) that contain my wife's 'Favorites'

Hi, I have problems, installing the windows update software 7.2.6001.188. It always fails due to error 8007371c. I tried anything imaginable, but it didn't work. In my windows\winsxs the pendin.xml file is missing, and in the registry HKLM\offline_components\ is nothing resembling to delete. There were some other files, as pending.xml.01c91bcdadd3a830 I removed them into another non OS directory...

Hello! Open window: any idea how I can add a folder in the left margin, where there are "recent places", "desktop", etc..? daniel --------------------------- Daniel Royer University of Geneva daniel at royer dot ch

I recently purchased Windows Vista, and found that Timeslips, a program costing over $800 per seat, no longer works. After considerable research, I have learned that this has something to do with the refusal of Vista to allow BDE to place its files in the places it must place them on the root directory. I have tried every alleged "tool" of Vista to try to make this program work...all to no...

(Also put this message under hardware - trust this is OK as unsure of subject group) Hi - Just got a new PC with Vista and am having trouble with wireless. Although connection to the net is fine via the ethernet, once I disconnect the lead, it's incredibly slow ( dial up speed) on wireless ( netgear wg111v2). Worked fine on old PC with XP. On the connections, I see that I'm connected to...

They are saying that people don't like Ubuntu even though Ubuntu does the basics of computing. People would rather pay for MS products that they know then to try and learn Ubuntu. Linux will always be a toy. http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/2008/10/msi-announces-w.html

Hi group, I'm trying to locate the appdata file in Vista Home Premium. It's supposed to be in C:\Users\myusername\AppData\. But the files under my user name don't show appdata. Anybody know where that is? Thanx

My understanding, or misunderstanding, is that Win 7 32/64 is supposed to be compatible with corresponding drivers for Vista 32/64. It took about 5 minutes to find out this is not universally true. I have Epson's working scanner drivers for Vista 64 and these will not install in Win 7-64. The troubleshooter is as useless as it is in prior versions of Windows. If one cannot use supposedly...

Is there a way to do this without "buying a new copy"? It comes with 32-bit and there was no option to change it. The Rep said I would have to install a brand new one. But I was hoping that they didn't know what they are talking about. Is there a way to perhaps get MS to send a 64-it disk or something and use the same key? I assume the Dell would come with a key right?

I close the lid and the laptop eventually goes into Sleep Mode. When I open the lid and Vista comes back up, I can no longer use the Windows shortcut where I can click on an item at the top of the list, hold down the shift key, and click on an item at the bottom to select everything in between. It doesn't work with the Control key either to let me select multiple items. The computer doesn't...

I need some help for saving files and downloads I want to change the location name. That name that it is being saved in now is the old owner of the computer I want to change that name. How do I go about doing this? Thanks

I have a project that I have been working on using the XP version. I have the vista at home. It works but i need to save it and reopen it at school which wouldn't work. If I download the older version 2.1, will it be compatible with my computer? -- porchiag ------------------------------------------------------------------------ porchiag's Profile:...

Sounds like you have a programming problem, not an OS problem. And BTW such a long winded rambling post is in no way appreciated. Tyro "Charles Douglas Wehner" wrote in message ... We have had "artificial intelligence" and even "artificial stupidity". Now we have "artificial mendacity".

Another (yawn) irrelevant post. This is a forum for helping with problems! If you want to make opinions and air your views put them on your own website!

Hey guys, I just felt like reinstalling vista and doing a complete wipe of my HD. When I put the CD to install it, I deleted my partitions and created new ones, and I installed vista on one of them. The installation than proceeds as normal but it ends up freezing at a black screen, where only the mouse cursor is usable. I then manually shut off my computer and started it up, and it gets stuck at...
