This isn't just on my home computer, but also on my work computer which is running Vista too (both Unlimited edition). However, when I used a 3rd party...

I just installed a new video card and want to update my windows experience index score. I start it, it runs, then goes to complete and I get a box that says it can't complete because a program or device will not allow it. What can I do to fix this???????? Thanks, Bill

WHY WHEN I DELETE FILES OUT OF EXPLORER AND MY RECYCLE BIN DO THEY RE-APPEAR 5 MINUTES LATER? I EVEN SENT SOME FOLDERS TO A ZIP FILE ONLY TO HAVE THE FOLDER LATER SHOW THE ZIPPED FILES AND THE FILES AS THE ORGINAL FOLDERS. IF I HIT DELTE I MEAN DELETE!
