Access denied on external hard drive by Keith
Hello. I recently purchased an HP Media Center PC that is running Windows Vista Home Premium. This is a family-shared PC and has six user accounts: two administrator accounts (one for me, one for my wife), and four standard accounts for the kids. Our previous PC died due to motherboard failure, so I took its hard drive and converted it to an external USB drive. This drive was configured...

Setting User Picture by Bob
I am trying to use a picture from my pictures to show as the user picture in the user account, but the image selected does not show completely in the user picture container, it is cropped by the system. This only happens on some jpg files and not on others. Any ideas on what might be going wrong?
