Damn............ how to get rid off it? I can do a ctrl+alt+delete and bring up the task manager and kill the process BUT my desktop has lost the task bar and starting orb. Moving the mouse top or bottom or to either side does not 'unhide' the toolbar so that I can access my USB drive with rkill.com (a process to kill this malware) on it. Have tried booting into Safe Mode and the viral...

hello, I'm having problems installing Digital persona personal 4.11. It wouldn't finish installing and now it can't detect the finger scanner at all. The thing said this "You cannot install the DigitalPersona Personal 32-bit package on this operating system. You must use the 64-bit installation package."

I am reading on some sites about shadow copies and how you have old versions of each file I dont want this function because I want the pc to go faster.. how can I disable this without removing the restore point functionality? In other words I want Vista to behave like XP did, where you had restore points but not old versions of files..

Why, why, why, is Speech Recognition so difficult to get the "correct" skinny on, here and now. Is it because in general that people are generally so ignorant of the general subject of SR, as it pertains to Vista? We Generals want to know. Is SR worth a flying **** generally; if not, why.

How does one create a new restore point in both Vista and Win7? When I go to Accessories--System Tools--Restore all I get is how to restore from a previous one. That's not what I want. I want to create a restore point. OldEd

For anyone who used to play with Sticky Notes from Microsoft Tablet PC. You can still use it on the desktop. Either type STIKYNOT.EXE on the start-run line, OR Create a new shortcut, using STIKYNOT.EXE, and naming it STICKY NOTES for the name. Have fun, Jerry

What in the heck is that? I was checking Device Manager yesterday and found that there was an Exclamation mark in the yellow triangle next to: "Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface" and it's listed under Network Adapters. I tried to update drivers, but it kept telling me the one installed were the best available. What is it and do I need it? It wasn't there before because I went to the...

Hello DanS. You're a fracking cretin, as Massa would say. Stan Starinski was right, and you Dan are wrong. First off, loss and hence noise become significant with length. Yes he is an EE. Who are you? An "M.V.P.? MWAHAHAHAHAHA. Do you know the difference between Butterworth & Chebychev Filters? Or Friis formula?

How to let Search look for only files and folders?

Hi all, I have an application that uses one configuration file which should be the same for all users. This conf file should also be editable by any user. 1) For Win2000 and WinXP it was not a problem to use the SHGetFolderPath function with CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA which would then be smth like: "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data" and to put there the conf file for my...

When I want to run defrag now, I am asked to reinstall it via add or remove programs, which is not available in my Vista Home Premium, SP2, 32...

::Guess I am a minimalist at heart and see no need for 100 or more keyboard layouts. I am all in favor of being multilingual; but I am never going to have to type in more than a several languages/alphabets no matter how long I live.

Im running Vista and IE8. Every time I try to move a file from one folder to another, "Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and will shut down" appears. Does anyone know how to recify this problem? Thanks

This function is just driving me nuts, so is there any way to disable the smartselect/highlight stuff like when you click on some text hold down the left mousebutton and drag the mouse to mark a potion of the text. Instead of just highlighting it character by character it auto marks who words and stuff instead, really annoying.
