the Vista advisor says its doable, but i certainly don't want to do a fresh install. But the upgrade is grayed out when i run setup. I can certainly see why a novice user would just get disgusted and return the 200 + dollar software package to the store. And no i don't have a FAT C: disk, not booting off the vista DVD, got 360 gig free, blah blah. and the rest of the list of possible...

This is a new install of Vista Ultimate w/SP1. Intel DX48BT2 motherboard with a Q9450 processor, 4 gig DDR3 1066 Kingston RAM, 2 SATA II hard drives. This memory is on the QVL for Intel. Twice I have installed Vista Ultimate w/SP1 and each time when I try to open almost anything in the Control Panel, I get the message "Windows Explorer has stopped working", the desktop crashes and comes...

I know Bitlocker isn't available with Business (bizarre as anything tbh however). I have a Vista Ultimate Upgrade DVD and Product key but tbh I really do not want to Upgrade my perfectly working Business OEM edition with something when all I want is one , yes one , of the Ultimate extras..Bitlocker. Is there any way to get this on the Business edition without going through an upgrade. I...

Hi All, First time poster here. I have just backed up my system drive by creating an ISO image. I have then restored the Image onto a WD Raptor Hard Drive (runs at 10000rpm I'll have you know!). Now, the first startup worked fine, no problems. Loaded into the Vista desktop and was able to do what I wanted. However, subsequent startups have allowed me to log in, but have then

Stupid Usenet users: I have been away for a while; involuntary confinement in a Lunatic Asylum. Stupid Vista, the stupid OPs, their stupid questions, and your even more stupid answers caused this. Also, everything got on top of me; aunts, uncles, even the family dog. Gosh, I am sore. But, I can see light at the end of the tunnel (I think it is a train!) I try to take my Zoloft hourly (doctor's...

Hi! I'm suffering from the problem described in the article 954434, i.e. resuming from hibernate causes a black screen. It says I should contact MS for this fix but was hoping someone has this fix and can share it, rather than having to pay the support fee to get it... /Peter

So I have seen many people post on this topic. Lots of people claiming they have never had the problem but many more frustrated with the issue and lack of meaningful information. I have tested this and confirmed it on no less than 10 Vista x64 machines. All installations were initiated with the 'Run as Administrator' option. I have seen the error with Visual Studio 2005, Acrobat Reader,...

Hi folks, We have a few remote users who have Dell laptops with Vista Business. Originally they were set up as stand alone machine, no domain authentication. I recently set up a VPN between our main office and the branch office, and I now want to make these machines part of my domain. Anyone want to share any of the steps they have used to accomplish this? I assume like with XP, that once...

Can anyone out there help please? I've had my PC for about 4 years now. It does not have a wireless card. It is connected to broadband via an ethernet cable into a new router (BT Home Hub). The router is wireless enabled. I've just bought a new laptop and want to set up a home network including my PC and the laptop. The laptop connects wirelessly to the internet via the BT Home Hub. BT...

Hi All, My XP is installed on F: drive, after installing vista on G: drive the xp can't boot and the error message is "ntldr missing". I have changed the boot drive of XP to F: in boot manager using EasyBCD but still getting the error. Although uninstalling boot manager will recover XP boot menu. TIA

I have a dual boot w/XP and Vista Business and it was working, but I could not activate it because DNS problems, was able to fix that, but did not go back right away and activate my Vista copy. 30 day went by and now it won't activate. But hey I am on the internet with my network id?!?!! Why won't it go into windows so I can activate it? I keep getting the code 0x8004FE33 (no internet...

Okay, I know this is not very important, but after I installed Win Vista Ultimate and moved my desktop recycle bin (trash can) to the lower left of my screen, I noticed some time later it was GONE! Now the only way I can empty the trash is to go through Windows Explorer or click on My Computer and find the recycle bin to empty it. This is a small problem, I know. I'm very happy just to have...

My vista Business's Windows Update has a bug, the screen always displays an empty screen with a button with no text. After click on the button, nothing happens. I simply cannot use Windows Update at all. Anyone know how to fix this?? Thanks!
