Just installed Vista Ultimate last night. Took all the defaults. When I go to "Personalization" "Themes" "Theme" I see only this in the dropdown My Current themes Windows Vista Windows Classic Browse... "Browse" found nothing so I did a serach of drive C for "*.theme" and found no hits. I'm sure MS provided some starter themes (?). Please help.

Just installed Vista (32-bit) last night on my PC. When I went to change the Desktop Theme ("Personalize" "Theme" Theme) I found these themes: My Current Theme Windows VIsta Windows Classic Browse.... Browsing found no "*.theme" files. I'd bet the MS provided some "starter" Themes. Please advise.

I've got a problem on my laptop: I've got a wireless connection set up, but I wanted to set up an extra modem connection. Now hwenever I start the browser or anything else, I get the modem connection poping up. I can't find a way to delete the connection. Is there a solution?

Passing through a department store in Geneva I saw an Acer Aspire L100 small desktop PC discounted to circa 50% normal price. Because I needed another PC on impulse I bought it. At home in Berne I started it and, of course, the OEM Vista Home Premium OS was in French - okay, I thought, I could live with that although my French was pretty terrible. Then I saw that included in the CDs was an Acer...

The Vista installation program hijacked many file type and protocol associations and replaced them with Microsoft programs. I've managed to change most of them back to the programs I prefer by using Control Panel Default Programs Associate a File Type or Protocol with a Program but a few remain because I can't determine how to make the switch. For example, the default choice for...

Background: I was running an Asus K8V SE Deluxe MB with Vista and a partly 512 megs of RAM. I bought another 512 stick as soon as I saw a good price and when I installed it, the MB freaked out and decided not to work. I found a good number of people that had the same problem, the MB stopped working after new RAM, etc, but they were all new and could RMA them. Mine is 3 years old, so I...

I've bought a new pc, with two unpartitioned Seagate Barracuda's 500 GB ST3500630AS (and an ASUS p5b de luxe WIFI mobo) and a brand new Vista business Edition. When I'm done creating partitions, and I want to format them, I get the error/notification: 'This device does not have the proper drivers installed, please install them', but I can't find the right drivers anywhere!!! They're not on...

I have just built a new system with a new hard drive and want to install Vista from my own DVD (The previous computer has been taken apart and I will evtually incorporate its drives in my new one). If I put in my key it says I must install on top of the previous install or some such message. If I elect not to put in the licence key it will install but I suspect it is going to want me to...

I am using Vista Home Premium and it is a reinstall on a new machine. I was pretty sure that I had activated it but, now, I see a message in the Control panel that the activation must be done within 13 days. The online activation does not work and, when I try the phone activation, entering the ID number first, it says that this option has expired. I seem to have run into a road block and...

There is nothing in the box and the buttons below are greyed out, so that I cannot get to the Advanced options. Where do I go...

After installing Windows home premium, I still have a few issues over that I then installed Firefox, as I like to use this browser sometimes for specific reasons. It appeared to install okay and then something went wrong, I can't remember what it was so that I proceeded to uninstall it. Ever since then every time I try and install something I get the message telling me that the previous...

Dear Group: I read the following in David Pogue's new book, "Windows Vista the Misising Manual" that disturbs m and I want to know if it is true. I underlined the areas I am questioning.

I bought a German copy of Vista Home Premium but would love to have Vista in English. I have read the former threads and understand that I cannot change or even use language files or patches to change this unless you have Business or Ultimate. I wondered if I can use an English installation disk, reinstall Home Premium from scratch but use the Activation code on the German edition if this...
