I'm using Vista backup and restore centre to do a full backup to a DVD and it's now been running for more than 24 hours! The little green bar showing progress is fairly close to the end but doesn't seem to be advancing any further. Must be something wrong. Should I just end the process and wait until I can get a portable drive to back up to and use some other software altogether? Will the...

My copy of Windows Vista is definitely genuine, it came with my laptop when I bought it. I have had it for about a year and a half now and it has never done this before. I shut it down to install updates, then restarted it, logged in, but it came up with 'the product activation code you entered is not valid' so I selected 'type new prict code' and entered the code on the sticker on the back of...

Vista 64-bit... I have to start somewhere though this isn't likely a Vista concern. I recently changed wireless routers from Netgear to Linksys, uninstalled and reinstalled Open Office Writer, and made some other various adjustments. Unfortunately I've discovered in 'name'\AppData\Local\Temp over 1,600 (and counting) 0 kb files named 'OPSnnnn.tmp', where 'nnnn' appears to be an...

I tried once to use the WET in Vista, but it told me I didn't have enough disk space and it stopped. Ever since then, every hour or so I see an icon in my system tray that tells me that teh service has stopped. I have gone into the Control Panel, Administrative/Services section to disable the service, but it keeps on appearing. What can I do to shut this thing off for good? -- Paul Vista...

Hey everyone, this is going to sound like a stupid question and i've looked places but can't seem to get an answer to this specific question. Is there a way I can back up my Windows Vista Ultimate to the point where if say my RAID 0 array fails and I have to redo my RAID and set up Vista from scratch that I can just pop in some backup media such as another HD or DVD's and install my computer...

I am so tired of the Windows Vista issues with email. NOW, and probably because I have an undeletable email in the Outbox, my mail is not sending. I am at a loss here so ANY help would be appreciated before I call to wine and moan to Microsoft. Thanks

I'm operating Vista Home Premium 32 on a Gateway PC with 2GB memory and a 140GB main drive. Today the system has been very slow but I put it down to server overload and AV scans. Just 15 minutes ago I decided to look around for the problem. I looked at the C Drive and the space available bar was red! It told me there was only 387MB available out of 140GB. Looking at the folders on C I...

Hi, Can anyone tell me how to restore the wifi icon in the taskbar? I have vista home premium on an HP laptop. It was there this morning, and now, when i turned it on, its gone. I right clicked on the taskbar, then left clicked on properties, found the notification area, and the network square is grayed out so I can't put a check in it. I think that is what would put the icon back next to...

I've been seeing problems with significant slowdowns on both of my Vista Home Premium SP2 machines lately whenever the amount of physical memory used, as reported by Windows Task Manager, gets much over 50% of the total present. I first saw this problem on my 64-bit machine with 8 GB, and therefore guessed that the problem was due to the 4 GB limit for a program running in 32-bit mode. However,...

I have two problems. The important one is that in some desktop folders I can only select files one at a time, but in others I can select a bunch at a time in the standard way. I've looked at all the tabs in the Options sections, and everything seems o be the same in both folders. The unimportant problem is that on the desktop itself, when I select one file then another in a different column,...

Frequently, when closing IE7, a dialog pops up saying the IE has stooped working. It provides 2 options, check for a solution on-line and restart the program, or just restart the program. Clicking the red x in the title bar will close the dialog without restarting anything. It's an annoyance, and I'd like to get it cleared up. I'm running Vista Business SP2 32-bit.
