Publisher and Printing by Pettit
I am having problems with my Vista Publisher program printing. It will print a couple of pages then start feeding through the pages rapidly for the next 2 pages. I have tried going on line to find a fix and the fix will not allow me to download because it says I am not the adminstrator for my computer. I check the computer and I am listed as the adminstrator. Can someone help me figure this...

Vista Send to... (mail recipient) by Doug[_9_]
I should know better, but I make the same mistake again and again when I am absorbed in my work. I right-click on the document I want to Send to/Mail Mail Recipient, and find that what I had selected was NOT the document, just a LINK to the document. Is there any way of activating a user option to chose, at that moment, between the link and the underlying document? Vista has plenty of...

File Tags and Properties Annoyance by solon fox
One of the really nice features of Vista is how you can use file properties like 'Tags,' 'Categories' and 'Status' to help filter and sort files in a folder (at least for those file types, like Office documents, that support keywords). I like being able to add tags to Office 2003 documents in the file properties pane at the bottom of Explorer without needing to open the actual file. What annoys...

Downloading new fonts by riorita
I use Vista Home premium and Office Standard 2007. I want to download and use fonts from Absolutefonts.com. The fonts are TTF, but come with Adobe Reader 8 as the opening program. I cannot figure out how to get the fonts unzipped and into the Windows Font folder so they are useable. Would love detailed instructions. Thanks.

First day of the week in calendar by Rick Cameron
Hi, all Both the calendar gadget in the sidebar and the calendar shown when you click on the time in the taskbar seem always to use Sunday as the first day of the week. My week starts on Monday - but I haven't found a way to change this. Windows Calendar does allow me to change the first day of the week to Monday - but this change doesn't affect the other calendars.

computer blocking anything with no digital signature by PaddyW
Hi, I have windows vista home premium on my new laptop which i only got 2 days ago. It flat out refuses to let me install anything without a digital signature, doesn't even give me an option to allow or block the application. Stuff such as itunes are things that I'm trying to install and it won't allow me. I even tried to install a kodak easy share direct from a cd and it won't allow me to....

Sound Recorder by Geometrian
The program Sound Recorder used to be good. I used to be able to save my files in any of quite a few different file formats. The only option now is ".wma". It's idiotic. The only thing that plays it is windows media player! I now have to buy a converter to change over all of the files that I record to a USEFUL file format. Come on, Microsoft! Are you trying to be incompatible?! This...

Zune and Vista Incompatibility? by Cyndi[_2_]
I need to get a new computer for my son and he informs me tonite that he found out that his Zune is incompatible with Vista. I did research and found that there is a fix for it, but the fix then causes problems for the DVD or CD players installed. i.e. fix one thing, cause more problems. Any suggestions? I would let him keep my laptop with XP on it but I need it for work. Is anyone happy...
