Bob Hi Bob, One of February's updates was a cumulative security update for IE7. This included a new executable version of IEXPLORE.EXE and, in some cases, this can prevent connecting to the Web. There is actually nothing...

Vista Home Premium here - I would greatly appreciate any relevant and helpful information that could help me with this problem I'm having with my newish Scaleo P2. I've never had problems with it for the two months I've had it. Yesterday I was burning some system recovery discs, but I had to leave before the process was finished. I asked my lady (no lady jokes, please :) to just shut off the...

Printing with Vista seems to be an absolute PITA. Printing is done over the network to printers attached to XP machines, there are 2 lasers and an inkjet. We also use a virtual postscript printer for writing EPS files. In all cases, programs like CorelDraw and Adobe reader will lock up for a minute or two with a non responsive message befor they print. Printing usualy takes 3-4 minutes with...

I had posted in a couple of various threads that I was also affected by this update (KB931768) under both Vista and Windows XP. Under Vista, Windows Mail had become so slow as to be almost impossible to use. Clicking on a post in the news groups took about 2-4 seconds to show the text in the bottom. Replying to a post also took about 2-4 seconds to bring us a usable reply window. Shutting...

Hello, Bad day today: a crash disk. A new disk has been installed and I have tried to recover my system using the image from the complete system backup I ran one months ago, using the back up softaware of Vista Business. Unfortunatelly, it seems that because it is a new hard disk the image cannot be used. Actually, it has been impossible to even see the image file when trying to restore the...

I am running Vista Home Premium. When I attempt a backup from Drive C to Drive E (which is my second internal hard drive) I get an error message: 0x80070070. This error message started occurring approx. two or three months ago. Before that time I never received an error message on backup. HP Support (?) suggested that perhaps I was repeatedly saving my system to the 2nd hard drive, thus...

I select complete backup to external harddrive and the wizard gives error message 0x80780018 "not all volumes containing system data are included in the back up" and refuses to back up. But there is no other choice to select before ...did anyone encounter that problem too? Thanks so much for a answer

Recently, when I try and run Device Manager, I get the following error; "MMC cannot initialize the snap-in". An error pop-up window appears twice, clicking ok then opens an empty device manager window. This was not always the case so at some point something has changed. Any solutions welcome. O.S. = Windows Vista home premium.

Hello. I used an application called Cyberscrub. I was working on some sensitve material and used this to clear my hard drive files including Internet History. Everything seemed fine after I uninstalled the application. The only exception is that now Vista Home Premium takes 3 minutes to shut down. I have not had anyother problems. (No response from Cyberscrub support.) I have read about...

Hi Gang Just trying to enable SUA on vista ultimate. I go to Control Panel, "Turn Windows features on or off", and am presented with a stunning blank window! Okay, so some googling later, I discover this is a common problem, with no particular solution, other than a system restore. So I check through removing a few updates, wondering how far back (... months?) a dodgy update may have...

I give up. Vista Home sucks. Is there ANY way to take my new computer, kill Vista and go to XP pro??

After the last Vista Update I can no longer get the aero desktop with transparent Sidebar etc. The 'Themes' tab on Personalising the Desktop only gives me Windows Classic, Standard and Brouse options. How do I get it back or will SP1 next month cure it?

This has happened recently and I don't know why its doing this, but whenever I download a program and try to run it, my Windows Explorer completly locks up for like 5 - 10 min, and then my program executes. Its odd cause I can do everything else like hit my start button and load other things...Its just when I extract files and try to run them that it does this. I figured it was a virus, or...

I have run Defrag several times on this computer and watched it finish. Is there a way to get the defrag tool in Vista to report the file fragmentation? Why doesn't Vista defragment the volume fully when it is run? When I switch over to the XP side on dual boot, I run XP's defrag tool. XP's Defrag tool always reports that "I need to defrag this disk". Is it OK to defrag the Vista...

After the normal dos info on safe mode setup I got a screen saying 'configuring updates' After about 15 minutes it went to shutting down and its been over 2 hours
