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...

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".

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...

I was just wondering if there was a way to turn the microphone detection back on. I clicked the box to not show me again thinking that it would continue to recognize my mic but I was wrong. For some reason it just stopped working today. thanks in advance

The "text to speech" tutorial plays automatically every time I open Firefox when I have Speech Recognition active. I can turn off the sound on the system, but this prevents hearing sounds and vids, etc. How can I disable the tutorial from playing? I am using Vista Ultimate 64-bit. Thank you for any help you can give me!

Hi, Can someone recommend a fax software (to send and receive) that will work with Vista? Thanks, -- Phil

I have an Nvidia dual DVI video card and two displays. I have set them up to work independently. One of them is also a television (Samsung T220HD) that I watch sometimes. However when I start IE it always goes to the Secondary Samsung display even though my Dell display is setup as Primary. I have no way of bringing the window back to my primary without switching the Display mode and dragging...

Please help!! I just bought a new computer with Windows Vista. I have three different word processors, with Microsoft Word being one of them. With ALL THREE programs, any file that I save DIRECTLY to the C drive is automatically read-only and I can not modify it. However, if I save it IN A FOLDER on the C drive it saves as regular and I can modify it. This is awfully strange and very...

In psychiatry, the definition is necessarily more precise and implies that the belief is pathological (the result of an illness or illness process). As a pathology it is distinct from a belief based on false or incomplete...
