Can' Erase DVD by JamesJ[_4_]
Vista Basic 32bit sp2. I have a DVD/CD rewritable. I've created a slide show using different jpegs on 2 DVDs. The only difference is one dvd is a Sony the other is a Memorex. Both slideshows were created with the same software. But, on the Sony I'm unable to erase or format the disk. Vista tells me the Sony is Write Protected. In fact the right click option to 'Erase Disc' is missing. The other...

How to Bulk Unblock Files by Sue & Bill
I think since XP SP2 days, a new security attribute was added to files such that files that came in by IM, email, or across the network were separately identified and blocked from being executed. To unblock, one need to go the Properties of the file and then click the Unblock button. XP was rather lax in enforcing blocking. But Vista appears to block everything, including html files inside a...

Where is the StartMenu by Michael Moser
This Vista constantly trying to protect me from myself is driving me nuts! In XP it was a snap to add a new Folder to the StartMenu. Not so in Vista! Where *IS* this stupid folder? And why can I not navigate certain Junctions? There is a "StartMenu"-junction in my C:\Users\me folder, but when I double-click it to open that folder I get an "Access Denied". It's me and I own this darn box...

Search Function by Flash Gortdon
OK...I know Vista is the NEW Windows...but surely the Search function could have been made a bit more user friendly to the computer illiterate. I click on Start...and in the Search box typed *.pst I KNOW there are 3 versions of this file on my computer and attached External Hard Drive (that is also part of the index sequence, etc)

System Restore Size? by EW[_2_]
Is there any way to set the maximum size of Vista Home Premium allotted restore point space? If so, I can't find it. I see no use for restore points from several months ago, if the system is running well, and there are recent points to rely on. Thanks. EW

Installing older software by Mike Schuler
All of my business files and books are made in MSWorks 4.5 for Windows 95. The newer versions of Works will not open up these files, so I've been continuing to use MSWorks 4.5 on my XP computer. I've installed in on my new Vista computer, but I can't make it run. If I try to open a file, it tries to open it in Works version 8 which can't open the file. How do I get it to run MSWorks 4.5?
