Missing readyboost by
dsilinski
Maybe someone can help me with a problem with readyboost. When I plug a USB
stick or SD card in I get no option to use it for readyboost. This only
started recently as I was using readyboost with one of the devices that now
does not work. When I go into properties there is no readyboost tab and auto
play does not give that as an option. I used them in another machine and
they worked, and...

How do I backup the windows updates? by
pjsformula1
Having installed loads of windows updates I'd hate to have do them from
scratch again if my hard drive fails.
I know there is a recovery drive (D) but I assume this is a partition
on the same physical disc.
I'd hate to install Vista onto a new drive from the DVD then have to
use Windows Update and have to overcome all the installation failures
I've had on my way to Service Pack 1.

media player doesn't always work by
Chad Meyer
I have the Ultimate Edition of Vista and am having issues with media player.
I would play a file just fine and go to play one later and it won't play.
Media player will open up and load the file, but will not play it. This has
been happening for the last week and am stumped on a solution. I would like
to try a fresh install, but can't seeing how it was built into the OS itself.

Donna
Every once in awhile when booting up my computer I get a screen with the
message: Amount of Memory Has Changed and I'm given the option of continuing
or going to setup. I have no idea why this happens, tho it seems to be
connected with my Avast anti-virus program updating itself as I didn't
install anything new.
I have no idea what this means or what I should do about it. I have simply

Vist Backup by
Harmon Koeltz
Hello
I'm running Vista Home Premium with all updates including SP1. I backup my
files weekly to an external hard drive using the Windows backup utility that
is a part of Vista. As I understand it, the backup is supposed to back up
all new or changed files and does not back up program files.
My external hard drive now has more used space than my hard drive. I must

File extensions. Unusual problem. by
Wolfy2k4
Ok, my file extensions are all hidden.
I've always been able to fix this in the past under xp and even vista.
However...
There is no folder options icon in my control panel.
The "Organize" Button on my windows explorer shows "Folder and Search
options" but it is greyed out. I cannot select it.
I believe I am running my Vista as Administrator but am not sure how to
confirm this.

Vista Backup files by

Hi,
I'm using the built in backup feature to back up my files i.e. "Backup

Now I have a lot of back up files on my external hard drive and I'm running

Can I go ahead and delete the old back ups? I wasn't sure if back ups were
