No other threads satisfied this issue. I'm sick of trying to work with Vista. It sucks. I disabled all of the necessary stuff (UAC, Defender, etc.) to try to gain control over my computer so that I don't ever have to see a "You need permission to...(fill in the blank)" dialog box again. Windows apparently thinks that I need protection from myself which is a crock of crap. Not to mention...

I am pulling my hair out with this OS. I just got a new Dell laptop with Vista Home Premium. Since Dell doesn't provide drivers for win xp for it I am stuck with this OS. I am trying to organize it and set things up like I want but there are lots of folders in Windows Explorer that keep denying me access, even though I am the administrator. How the hell do I gain access to all the folders on...

I was trying to upgrade from Vista Home Premium to Ultimate, and during the last step (I think it was "Finishing Upgrade"), it stayed at 78% for a very long time, over 2 hours, but the mouse still worked and the three blinking periods were still scrolling, so the computer had not frozen. At some point (I was out of the room at the time), it must have restarted but when it booted back up I...

I just installed Vista Ultimate on a Compaq Presario. It never asked me about any compatibility issues, just started installing. Everything seemed to work properly until after it ran its initial 'Performance' check. After the restart, all it does is have what appears to be ASCII characters flashing different colors. I have to shut the computer down. When I start it back up, I get...

I'm doing my prep work for installation of Vista X64 Ultimate on my Asus A8N-E board. Since it is an older board (nForce 4 chipset) I have a few quick questions as to driver installation: - Should I download and install the newest nForce 4 driver package from nVidia (15.23) or do I simply use the drivers included with Vista? * If using the nVidia package, when should I install them? - Same...

I recently tried to use the Vista repair tools to format the laptop back to factory conditions. I'd done the process before, so I was familiar. I backed up files (music and pictures and such) and continued with the restoration, but it hung up mid-process and gave me the nice error message that said something about some boot files missing. Well anyways, I called them and they said it was HD...

An installation program or installer is a computer program that installs files, as applications, drivers, other software, onto a computer. Some installers are specifically made to install the files they contain other installers are general purpose and work by reading the contents of the software package to be installed. __________________________________ 'Carhartt Work Jackets'...

The thing is, when I'm about to sell these, noone would believe if the DVDs & Product keys are still unused, just because the seal has been removed from the boxes and the keys are visible. I couldn't think of any way to prove that they keys are still new and unused.. Is...
