Start up programs by GordonHS
In an effort to speed up my start up time I downloaded instructions from Microsoft's download site. One option used Windows Defender. I tried that. It changed nothing. I then tried an option using msconfig. I unchecked certain programs leaving my Anti Virus and Microsoft Operating programs. After a restart nothing had changed. The desktop still had the same icons. Maybe there is something I...

Vista Backup won't do what I want, uses too much space by rowan.bradley

Control Panel Icon labels (text) missing by davidfi01
I am not sure why, but when I use Control Panel in Classic View with Medium Icons, the test labels for the icons uisually located underneath has dissappeared. What do I need to do to get the text associated with each icon to display again? The Icon name and category is viewable in all other views other than Mediaum, Large, and extra large icon view.

backup and restore by Jerry[_2_]
I am using firefox and up until yesterday my backup and restore always worked perfectly. Now it refuses to backup and has erased all restore points, saying I have error 0x81000202, which means my volume shadow copy doesn't work. How can I fix this? Any comments or suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks,

Erunt Question by rmo555@cox.net
I am logged in as an administrator. However, if I try to run Erunt by left clicking the program, I get an error message. So, I right click and choose 'Run as an Administrator' and it works fine. Why should I have to do this?
