Raped by Vista by DT
I upgraded my Windows XP Pro workstatoin to Vista. I ws never prompted to add a user or change a password. When Vista started for the first time I was prompted to logon as the original admin user I had created when I first installed XP. This user had no password. Apparently, Vista does not allow a blank password and therefore will not allow me access to my own PC. Of course the local...

I'm bored of doing it. My question is regarding activation over the phone. I'm trying to activate Microsoft Office after installing it in Vista. The MS phone system says "Press 1 to activate" but when I...

user accounts by sport4x4
I hope this vista system works better than xp home, when it comes to user accounts. windows 98 had a better user account system than xp and I hope vista is better than windows 98 now. Here's why -Everytime I download something to my user, it would create icons to all the other users created on my computer also...windows 98 never did this! And, when I tried to delete the icons from the other...
