Hi everyone! I'm having a problem with my Vista boxes after joining in my W2k3 domain. Everything tooks very long. So the logon process can take up to 3 minutes. Create a folder on a network share will take about 20 seconds. Synchronising Exchange with OL2007 is very slow, too! For one Mail to synchronice it will take about 20 seconds. Copy 5 GB from Vista to Server takes about 4 hours on a 1GB...

Help! I killed Windows Search. I had a folder of ripped music CDs on a hard drive, not my system/boot drive, on my PC. I created this folder manually a couple months ago. Today, I tried to delete the folder but got an error that the folder "Windows" could not be removed because it was in use by another program. Odd, I thought. I browsed through the music folder and found a folder named...

when i start up my msn program it always says not responding or not working is there a problem with the msn and windows live messenger working together???

Hello everyone. I am wondering if there is a way to increase font size in Vista without adjusting the DPI scale. Some of my programs won't run correctly when I adjust the font to a bigger size using the DPI scale method. I know how to make font bigger in IE7, but is there a way to do this on the desktop and in other programs? I want to keep running my monitor in its native 1280 x 1024...

I recently increased my memory from 2 gig to 4 gig . use pc3200 ddr2 4 x 1024 sticks. flashed my bios to the newest release . mother board sees 4 - 1024 sticks, went into vista and it sees 3.0 gig.. when I do an analysis of computer by vista it shows four slots filled with 1024 sticks. don't share memory with video card. it has its own 512mb. why can't vista see and use entire 4gig??? --...

After an initial install of about half of the system and reinstating most of the data, "volume shadow copy" failed causing explorer and InCD to fail. The system could not shut down either- I had to manually interrupt power, then restart from cold, and let the RAID verify and copy any corrupted files (which was about half of the OS, or 65,535 files). After that none of the CD/DVD drives...

no messages..am i first?

my desktop was fine but now in vista home premium, if i set it to sleep then power off, it won't recover . it says it didn't shutdown properly. it's fine if i don't power down. seems like a problem with the sleep data disc file.

Vista is making automatic System Restore points on both of my 2 drives: C (system) & Z (Data drive), even though I have specifically TURNED OFF (delected the tick) automatic restore points on the Data drive (System Protection Properties dialog box|automatic restore points). Is this a known bug? How can I make Vista REALLY stop making automatic restore points on the Z Drive?

After watching a TV program through a TV Tuner for 1 or 2 hrs, starting word or other programs behave strangely (tries to install some additional modules). I also see other problems like WLM, outlook, IE7 all crashing with some type of registry error. I also see the same problem listening to music with WMP for 2-3 hrs. I am running windows vista enterprise with latest windows update in...

My family recently got a few new computers. On every one, exept mine, vista runs smooth. This is strange since my PC is pretty high end. Whenever I try to open a window it takes rather long time (10 seconds) and it seems that everything else runs like that too. Specs: Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6600 @ 2.40GHz Memory: (RAM) 2.00 GB Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS

I am having trouble deleting a file. It is not telling me that i cannot delete, it just won't delete. The recycling box comes up and says its recyling, but it will do that for hours and will not delete it. I have moved everything else out of the folder and tried to delete the folder, same thing. I have tried to shred the file, and it will not shred, says please wait and will not do...

Hi all, hope this is the correct spot for posting this I've recently installed Vista on my computer and found that the Internet has issues that I never had with XP (still have it on another partition). the main problem is that in order to connect to a web site for the first time (for each sessions), I have a 3 second delay... so for example, starting up IE or FireFox to connect to my...

I have 2 USB drives that I use one at a time for backup. The other one is stored off site. When I swap them I just unplug one and plug the other into the same cables. They both have the same name. But the Vista Ultimate backup program must be reconfigured each month for the changed drive or the backup will fail to start. How can I configure the backup program to not care which drive is...

I have been having problems the past couple of days with the start menu on Windows Vista Home Premium. Certain links do not respond when you click on them (such as the control panel, welcome center, default programs, etc.). I thought that I had it licked today, but then when I shut the computer down and came back to it later, the flaws were back. This OS is beginning to remind me of my OS...

I goofed. I overlooked a Group Policy Object that installs Remote Desktop client v5.2 (=WS2003) on all computers before I connected the first Vista computer to the domain. So v5.2 was automagically installed on the Vista box. My fault, of course--but a little version checking in the v5.2 MSI sure would have been nice. I fixed the GPO so it wouldn't do it again, and used Programs and...

Are there settings in vista that would improve the framerate of online games ???

The display on my monitor use to sort of shiver for no reason, then it'd kinda blink briefly-like it was about to go blank, and now recently; the display did just shut off, like the bulb went out. But then I just turned the monitor off, then turned it back on and the image came back up. Is this a virus? The monitors only about 2-3 yrs. old. Thanks for any suggestions

When I open up the "Computer" file in windows explorer nothing shows up. Previously the C & D drives were listed but now nothing is listed. How do I get them back? Thanks

vista is installed on a laptop with 2 partitions - one is forrecovery only and is not used. The other is c drive and is 143Gb. Free space on C seems to be diminshing by about 1 to 3 Gb each week. i've searched for new files etc that might be the problem but haven't seen any files that seem unusual. Any clues as to what might cause this, or where to look/ -- regards ....barglen
