I used to have issues with my disk months ago from the whole nvidia 680i sata error but I haven't had issues since. Every time I try to enable system restore on a drive an hour later it will come back and have the following in the event log. The shadow copies of volume C: were aborted because of an IO failure on volume C:. Hoe can I troubleshoot this? Are there logs of information...

Help! This one has me stumped, even after reading through all previous posts. The pictures and documents folder links have completely disappeared from the users\username folder -- they're just not there any more. The documents and pictures themselves are safe, on f:\my documents and f:\my pictures , repsectively, but i can't for the life of me get Explorer to recognize that fact. I have tried...

Thanks

This is very irritating when you are doing a drag and drop cut or copy. In XP it could be removed by going to desktop properties...appearance...effects and removing the tick on 'show windows contents while dragging' but t does not work in vista..wonder why? help anyone ?? -- Don Anthony

I've created a Quick Launch toolbar on the left side of my desktop, just the way I like it. I've also mapped my Documents folder to a separate partition (E:). Most of the icons in Quick Launch work just fine, including Computer, Show Desktop, and Switch Between Windows. I can create a button in Quick Launch for this Documents drive, by dragging from the Start menu to Quick Launch. But...

I don't know if anyone can answer a simple(ish) question I have. Is it possible for legacy XP hardware drivers to cause disk file problems with Vista to the extent that chkdsk needs to run? I'm using Vista with a Samsung PATA drive and a nforce2 motherboard. Unfortunately Nvidia doesn't provide Vista drivers for nforce2. Consequently it's necessary to use third party drivers or XP drivers...

Error 0x800705AD insufficient quota to complete reqd service What does this mean and how do I fix it? I have had this message before when transferring files from a network USB device, and thought it had something to do with Vista's stupid paranoid permissions, but now I have got it simply copying large amounts of large files from the interal DVD drive of the laptop to the laptop's HD! When...

My wife uses a web based service to make greeting cards. When she tries to save a file in Vista it returns a message that due to security reasons the file will be saved in the Temporary files folder. What setting do I need to change to avoid that step. I trust the source and I need to make it easier for her. HP says I should do daily operations in the Administrator Account and in...

Hey there, I am desperately hoping someone can help me. I've got Windows Vista Enterprise edition and my Outlook 2007 email messages aren't part of the search index. I have verified that the locations are correct, .msg is listed as one of the types of files to search, and I've rebuilt my search index, but still have no luck. I LOVE this feature as I am a terrible mail sorter and would...

Hello, In the Documents folder, whenever I click on the icon for a file, I often get an error message that "Windows cannot find file (path name). Please make sure you typed the name correctly, etc." However, when I start a program and actually navigate to the file and open the file from inside a program, it works. The problem seemed to start around the time I tried to open a zip file. ...

I bought a new Window Vista-based PC and tried to open and re-write a file of a Word / Excel application, but seemed those applications in Window Vista style looked so weird to me. I couldn't do my work there because I couldn't find any features used to be in Windows XP. My question is....Does Window Vista have a Word/Excel application which provide full features just like in Window XP ?

In Vista click on any .htm file - Box appears: "Windows cannot find 'D:\file.htm'. Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again" and a ping sounds - The .htm file immediately opens and the box remains until its OK button is pressed. Very irritating! So how to stop it?

It's amusing to see people justify the removal of the up button because they say it's redundant. Nobody seems to mention the iclusion of a button for Burn. They took away 'up, cut, paste, copy, copy to, move to, delete' and gave us 'Burn'. This is an improvement? Are you people kidding me? -- lostdog ------------------------------------------------------------------------

This morning I accidentally deleted my "Pictures" sub-folder. It didn't show up in the recycle bin and now I cannot find it. It is quite important, is there anyway to retrieve these files? Thanks!

I have a friend who I installed windows vista home basic for. I have home premium and the recent items works fine but on home basic it just says empty. I have tried everything possible to make it work but I can't find the source of the problem. Can anybody help?? Cheers Luke

What is Microsoft going to do about the way that Windows Vista (probably something to do with Permissions) strips markers from jpgs thus making them unrreadable when moving files to and from certain USB connected hardware? Is there a solution to the following two problems? 1. I have a vista laptop networked to a XP desktop with a crossover cable (ie not wireless). XP connected to broadband...

Hi.. just like many other people, I'm having issues with Vista's ability to save folder views and templates as they're constantly changing on their own accord. This was a little frustrating with XP but at least we had the chance of increasing the saved bags cache to 8000 but I can seem to find a registry hack that will do the same for Vista. At present, I either find myself deleting the...

Once the Indexing function of Vista is complete, I find that if I have my Outlook2007 (OL) open for more than about 10-15 min, I get the message "MS Search Protocol Host has stopped working...". Once this happens, my e-mails will usually not be available. Also, Calendar, Contacts, etc. True, all you have to do is close out of OL and reopen. But it will be short time then The Message shows...
