Hi Guys and Gals Some time between last night and this eavening my recycle bin disapeared from my desktop. Can't find it with search.

Hi, I got the dreaded Error 43 message, after installing Vista and changing from single core CPU to dual core CPU on my nF3 motherboard with ATI AGP graphics card. I next used VistabootPro to shut down one core, and see whether the ATI Catalyst software would work again. It did. But the computer slowed down too much. So I tried to start VistabootPro again to revert to dual core operation.

Brand-new computer w/Vista. Sound was working (but not much volume), and suddenly now it's not. I checked through the control panel and it tells me that the sound card is OK and everything's working -- but no sound. Speakers are plugged in. Any suggestions?

I get "an error occurred...blah blah" when I try to synch the PC clock with either time.windows.com or time.nist.gov. I've even put an exception in McAfee's Firewall Plus 8 System Services for "Network Time Protocol - Port 123". Anyone else finding this problem today? -- Peter Toronto, Canada XP Pro SP2 x 2 + Vista Ultimate fully updated

I have a new Dell laptop running Vista Business and every time I open Word (2003) I'm asked to accept the "end-user license agreement." I see that this is a known problem, but the only instructions I can find to fix it involve modifying the registry and all instructions apply to computers running Windows XP or 2003 Server. Those instructions don't seem to work with Vista Business: When I try...

Microsoft is once again trying to limit users to using only their products. Windows Defender may be a good antispyware program but Microsoft ought to give the computer's owner the option to uninstall it if they so desire. I've been using Spybot for a number of years and although it is a bit finicky at times, it is the best I've seen lately but it must be properly configured through the...

Hello! I'm not very computer literate so I'm not sure how to explain this but.. We just purchased a new lapton w/vista installed and we purchased a satelite internet system. Our speeds are slower than the dial-up we used to have. I have called the company many times and they tell me that they can not check my system b/c it's VISTA. They told me that it may be configured wrong, but I...

Basic functions such as directory navigation and even web browsing slow to a grind after about 20 minutes of use of my Vista Ultimate. Most noteable are the following slow-down issues: 1) Opening a folder such as "my documents" on a fresh restart will open instantaneously. After about 20 minutes of use, it takes approximately 15 seconds just to open the folder. The same is true for most...

Is there a way using Vista's backup (Ultimate) to backup files without putting them into a backup format file - In other words, I simply want to automate a backup which copies individual files to a different hard drive.. Something like xcopy, but with a GUI. I know I could use xcopy within a batch file, but I'm getting problems with Vista automatically going into sleep mode halfway though my...
