Sorry for the double-posting. I obviously do not know what I'm doing. However, I've been looking at some of the questions/answers and I believe ALL of my problems stem from allowing Vista to update. I really hate Vista. -- I hate Vista

I've tried everything to try to reduce my on-screen KB to it's default size, including 'system restore (4 times), which failed for some reason, shutting the whole thing off, restarts, etc. I have no idea what I did & it currently falls off the 18" x 20" screen so that I can hardly find the menu to 'exit'! Please, anyone have any idea? Thanks, much appreciated... -- I hate Vista

Was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. A friend of ours is using a dell laptop running vista. His recovery drive is being used for storage and not going to the original hard drive(c). Is there a remedy for this? Can this be fixed where all the data goes to the (c) drive and not the recovery drive. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have been using an external drive for backup - but as of today, I cannot 'see' it in 'Computer.' It is turning, but not showing up on my monitor. Is there any way I can check to see what the problem is? The cables seem fine.

I don't recall what I did, but now my on-screen KB fills the entire 18" X 20" screen. I even had trouble finding the "exit" button to click on to get rid of it, as it was off the screen. The on-screen KB is about the only thing I like about Vista but it is not usable in its current size. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks. -- I hate Vista

I ran a sfcscan and... It seems I have some corrupt files. This laptop doesn't have a recovery/reformat drive or i'd just reformat the laptop. Moreover, I don't have a recovery disc for vista, just Win-7. Perhaps anyone can pinpoint me in the right direction? I have the CBS file... However it's close to 24MBs... :confused: --

Hello! I am running running Windows Vista Business 32-bit in a Fujitsu-Siemens LIFEBOOK P8020 notebook. I also have a SuSe Linux Boot Loader installed because it also runs openSUSE 11.2 When I select hibernate from the shut down menu, the screen turns dark and then a message appears: "Locking computer...". After that the login-screen pops up.

I have Windows Vista Home Premium installed on an HP Pavillian Laptop. I am having a problem with the vertical scroll bar in Windows Explorer. When I try to use the vertical scroll bar to scroll down in an Explorer window, the scroll bar jumps back to the top of the window. The same thing happens when I try to set a Screen Saver, the pull down window jumps back to the default (none)...
