I am trying to (legally) recode a video clip using Dr. DivX on my 32-bit legit Vista Ultimate. I keep getting the error that the output forlder is Read-Only, no matter which folder I choose to recode to on the internal drive on which Vista is installed, my external drive, or even my USB flash drive. I am aware that Vista, similarly to XP, turns on the read-only attribute in most folders by...

Hi, For awhile I could play videos with no problems, but now when I try to play them (from Youtube for example) they stop and start and stop and start with that circle thingy whirling when it pauses and take forever. I tried uninstalling the adobe flash player and reinstalling it, but that has not done anything to fix the problem. Any ideas? Thanks.

I've been reading threads about getting the 'low on space' on D drive to find out how to clean up my drive after using it for back-up, unfortunately. I see a list of files that should be there are Dell, Program Files, Sources, Tools, Users and Windows. However, there are folders within folders within folders in these files in my D drive, so I'm wondering if I can safely delete any of them. A...

A few months ago I suffered frequent "Blue Screen of Death" moments,after a while of cleaning things off my toshiba laptop and doing a few virus scans and such the blue-screens stopped. Yesterday night I started listening to music on my laptop using it's own music player. Twice the screen went blank momentarily,I dismissed this for a temporary issue and thought nothing of it as it carried on fine...

I've been one of the unfortunates who has had a lot of problems with Vista (Home Premium version). Windows 7 won't be out till October, but I need a new computer now. What is the general opinion about Vista Business? Any good, or is it similarly plagued by problems? Thanks for your input.

I just noticed today that when I try to run the Snipping Tool, I get this error: THE SNIPPING TOOL IS NOT WORKING ON YOUR COMPUTER RIGHT NOW. RESTART YOUR COMPUTER, AND THEN TRY AGAIN. IF THE PROBLEM PERSISTS, CONTACT YOUR SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR. I've been running Vista Ultimate for about a year now, and installed SP1 this week.

Hi, I am new to Vista and burned my first data CD this morning. I used the built in feature to do so. I could not see how much room was left on the CD prior to burning. All of the burning software I have used in the past indicated how much room was used, and how much was left. I'm sure I'm just missing something here because it is such a fundamental aspect of burning optical disks. How...

(I am running Vista Home Premium with UAC partially enabled by way of a registry edit that disables the dialog boxes that pop up whenever you try to install something, etc. while still allowing things such as file virtualization) When trying to view System Information, it displays the System Information window (meaning the executable or whatever is probably still there), but the following...

I recently installed a Windows Vista 64-bit HP Pavilion CPU, and I checked for windows updates several times the day of installation. It took me two more days to find out the hard way that I needed two available updates, one for IE8 on Vista 64-bit and an SP-2 for 64-bit as well. I wonder why I had to work so hard to find out about these updates, why the ordinary Windows Update feature did...

Norton Partition Magic 8.X comes with Boot Magic for switching between OS's. Do you know if this will work for dual booting XP SP2 and Vista, and avoid the problems with system restore files, etc.
