What MS updates were installed "the other day"? Have you contacted McAfee Support about this? Have you purchased McAfee Security Center or is it a freebie from your ISP? Has another McAfee application every been installed? Has a Norton application ever been installed? -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-IE, Mail, Security, Windows Desktop Experience - since 2002

My wife (who has no knowledge about cygwin) had xwin.exe running which used a lot of CPU and bandwith. I assume somebody was monitoring her desktop. How is this possible? Can this be done via the yahoo messenger?

hi, i know this sounds a little strange, but a few times now (in past few weeks since i've upgraded to vista) i've found the mouse has moved on its own. initially i thought perhaps i had moved the mouse, and there had been a delay in what i saw on-screen, so i ignored it. but just now, i put my hand on the mouse but didn't move it at all... and it very very quickly whizzed to the right, and...

Hello, If you have disabled the hiding of operating system files, you will see what appear to be system folders with familiar names like "Documents and Settings" and "My Music". They are shown with a transparent icon and a shortcut arrow. These are not really folders and contain no data. They are only there to assist some old programs. Windows Vista has moved or renamed many familiar locations.

Sounds are turned on in Vista yet they don't play. What setting could I have missed and what can cause sounds to stop playing? The speakers work fine. All connections are secure. The little speaker icon is also missing from the taskbar. How can I get that back? TIA.......

In Vista, Documents and Settings is not a folder and you cannot store anything in it. It is a junction point that serves only to send anything on to the proper folder User folder where such things are stored in Vista. I know it looks like a folder, but it is NOT. It is more like a shortcut, and by way of analogy, you know you cannot store anything in a shortcut. It is there so that older...

Vista Home Premium. I uninstalled Windows Defender and now cannot reinstall it as the installer says "Vista already includes Defender" Is there a work around to my dumb mistake???

I've just ditched OneCare owing to the total inability of MS support to understand and reply to an infuriating but very straightforward and simple problem I had with it. So I need recommendations for a (hopefully) free Malware app that I can set a schedule up in. (I already have Acronis Home for backup and I'm trying Antivir for AV) Thanks

Hi, On Vista, C:\Documents and Settings is not actually a folder, it's a symbolic link. The folder containing the user data is C:\Users... Where C:\Documents and Settings\John Doe would have existed, it's not C:\Users\John Doe - the Docs and Settings link is provided for backward compatibility for applications... Hope this helps,

Hi, ITNews. Documents and settings is a folder in WinXP and prior. It does not exist in Vista, except as a "Junction Point" for the benefit of legacy programs that have not been updated to work in Vista. In Vista, look in each user's Documents folder. By default, find each one in: C:\Users\username\Documents

In Vista, it's not a folder. Vista uses a different file structure than XP does/did. Those familiar folder names you may be used to, like "My Documents", "Documents & Settings", etc. are not folders in Vista. They are junction points, and are used for legacy programs which were written to utilize the XP file structure. They will redirect the programs to use the equivalent Vista folders. If...

Hi, SetAcl.exe is supported with Windows vista? Please guide me, so I can use this exe to restrict my registry entry in Windows vista Regards, Asha

Not exactly sure how to phrase my question... We use a remote support tool that is designed to run as a service. Under XP, we can log off of Windows and back on, and the support tool is still active. Under XP, we can re-boot the computer, and when it comes back up, the remote support tool is loaded, running as a service, and we can re-connect. However, with Vista we cannot do this. When...

I set up the scheduler to run a set of DOS commands. It works for a while then quits saying that it has a "launch failure" and the password is bad. The error value is Error Value: 2147943726 Now, if I re-enter my user name and password (the same one as last time) as the user account (this is an administrative account), it works again for a while. I have it set to run even if I am not...
