I have recently purchased an HP desktop running Vista Home Premium 64bit. I have LapLinked across all the contents from an earlier HP running Vista Home Premium 32bit. All appears AOK except for Windows Mobile Device Centre which only transfered the 32bit update not the main program. Whhen I try to remove it nothing happens, when I try to install the 64bit version it says that there is a newer...

Vista Business, SP1 Dell Inspiron 640m with integrated "Mobile Intel 945GM Express Chipset Family" display adapter Every once in a while, the resolution on my display will change spontaneously, when waking from stand by. I don't power off my notebook too often, usually just switching it to stand by when moving it from my office to home. Now and again, when I wake it, I'll find that the...

Hi I have developed a small application which connects a Bluetooth device to Windows Vista. The Bluetooth profile is not supported by Vista so each time I connect the device I get a prompt with 3 alternatives asking me if I want to: 1. Search online for a driver 2. Try later 3. Ignore

Vista comes with a feature that I find simply annoying. If the mouse pointer is allowed to hover over something for a few seconds it will activate it without a click. I have searched all provided documentation and can NOT find how to turn this feature off. Please tell me. You should put enable/disable right on the mouse menu in control panel! Dick Foster

I have a new Lenovo Y410 notebook. It came with licensed Vista Home Premium pre-installed. The recovery partition is located in a hidden drive E: with about 13 GB. I would like to make an exact copy of this recovery partition on a DVD. It seems like an impossible task as Drive E: doesn't even show in Windows Explorer. Disk Management says it is EISA formatted. The problem is that should...

I have Vista Home Premium and out of the box I could not find my SendTo folder within Explorer. So I did a google search and found this link: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/customize-the-windows-vista-send-to-menu/ On the web page above it recommends that you paste %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo into the Windows Explorer address bar. After doing this I now have a Sendto...

Am running Home Premium. In calendar options I chose "show reminders when calendar is not running". Does this mean that the calendar reminders (I have set to one day) are supposed to show, on desktop or somewhere else, even if I do not open the calendar? If so, mine does not seem to be working.

One has been able to change the character dpi for a long time. Now that screen resolution has grown so much higher--my laptop native resolution now is 1920 x 1200--my desire to use 120 (up from 96 dpi) has grown. But on experimenting with this I've discovered that along with the larger text size the window layout this text must fit in does not adjust for this increased size--text gets...

Well in just a couple of days it will have been 2 months waiting for my copy of Vista with SP1 which my tech stated that it would be shipped o/a 19 Nov 2008 and would take 7 to 15 business days. Now I have sent 4 messages with all the correspondence as part and still have not heard back even from a supervisor. I though maybe my msg might have gotten lost but now I feel slighted (grin).

Since I have been using Vista, I have been frustrated in my ability to lock a folder's "view" to what I select. I used all of the XP methods and followed several other "suggestions". One method I tried was... - I select the view I want for a specific folder. - I then select "View | Customize this folder". - I check the "Apply this template to all subfolders"
