Icon Size in Control Panel- Zooming by Chutney Ferret
I have lost the option to zoom the icons in the control panel to a small or larger size by use of the mouse wheel. I can use the function in Windows Explorer etc but it will not work in the control panel classic or normal view anymore. Does anyone have similar experience? Thanks.

sonic burn engine - remove? by Lester Stiefel
I have had the last update to nero 9 full for 6 months. I cannot use the burn engine in it because of "track following error" at end. I have read someplace that this could be a software disagreement between nero and sonic. Does anyone have some info on how to remove sonic burn engine from windows safely? I would like to try this method. -- Visit Family Radio Today

Looking for a true Microsoft type fix. Microsoft should have had a fix for this by now. What we have come up with so far in our case is: This is a function of the new Remote Desktop client. What is happening is that when you remote into a Vista PC it tries to set your local default printer on the remote box. When the session is ended, it is not getting the remote PC default printer set...

Poor performance with Vista x64 by k86
Hey I'm new to a x64 OS, I did have Home Premium (32bit) on my PC but upgraded yesterday. Since upgrading (clean install) I've notice that the boot times are longer and the shut down times have increased significantly. One of the reasons I moved to x64 was because of the faster boot and shut down times. A few other programs are taking longer to load/respond but I'm not sure if that's because...

0x0000007E with 3GB RAM again by Breach
Hi Guys, Another wasted evening... Here's the situation. Last year I did a clean install of Vista x64 SP1 (slipstreamed). 4GB of RAM (specs below). Everything was running great until today. Today I added a new HDD (1TB WD Caviar Black). Power up, and... endless reboots with the dreaded 0x0000007E (at the point it tries to load crcdisk.sys). 4 hours later, after doing whatever not it was...

Question about Startup programs... Please Help. by Rozco
First of all I would like to say I love this forum if it wasn't for this forum my Desktop/HDtv(as my monitor) would have a keyboard stuck in it. Why you might ask, well I was stuck on "Updates Configuring 3 of 3 - 0% // then Shutdown" and repeat. Also I'm a new Vista owner and so far its been shaky but I plan on over coming it.

Drive missing by Dave T.[_2_]
Vista home premium SP1. . . I created a new account, and applied a password to it. I then went to make a password reset disk and when the wizard presented me a drop-down list titled "create disk in this drive", I found that the cd drive was not on the list. It appears in "Computer", but not in the wizard. Anyone have a solution or a work-around for this?

Explorer - Selecting Files using CTRL key by snomazushi[_3_]
Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 with 4gb memory, When inside explorer, I can select continuous files by selecting the first file and pressing the Shift key plus last file. However when I try to select files using CTRL key plus files that are not next to each other, the highlighting comes off and I am unable to select files properly. Is this a known bug with Vista?

Problems with returning from screen saver by amadeusmozart
When I set my computer to hibernate or it goes to screen saver, when I return whatever window I have open (whether it be Mozilla or a Word document) automatically closes. Not all my windows close, just the one I have open in front of me when I return. Any clues on how to prevent this from happening? -- amadeusmozart
