I've read forums and newsgroups until I'm nearly blind. I've seen countless users who are getting errors when installing Vista and when backing up, but I haven't seen too many, if any, that have a problem when trying to copy files from my internal cd/dvd drive onto my hard drive. At first, all went just fine...I was copying music and other files from my old computer, then I started to get...

I recently added a Raidsonic NAS900 Harddrive to my router with the goal to backup various files from my PC. To copy/sync files from my PC to the NAS I use MS SyncToy. Problem is when I compare the synced folders in Explorer I get different sizes and amount of files, while it should be extactly the same. For example Explorer reports 8799 files on my local HD, but only 7670 on the...

Hi, Darryl. HOW are you trying to delete your Contacts? Are you doing it from Windows Explorer? Why not use the Contacts button in Windows Mail? But deleting them from Windows Explorer does work for me. I browse to C:\Users\RC\Contacts, then I select one from the list and use the normal deletion technique, either the Delete key or right-click then Delete. Unless I use the Shift key while...

I have turned User Account Control on and off (am "administrator" and only user) .... nothing works. Please help!

I was running the Beta version of Vista, Version RC1, when I bought a new version of Vista I backed up my whole C drive to a WD My Book external drive. I did the backup via Vista's built in backup utility. When I went to reinstall the data from the external drive Vista doesn't recognize it and I can't find where the mail messages are kept so I can transfer them manually. Are ideas? -- kyle

Every time I restart my computer, my Start Menu resets to the same, default icons -- Stuff I never use and I want gone. Further, anything program that I did open is now removed -- leaving Welcome Center, Windows Media Center, Windows Media Player, Windows Photo Gallery, AOL 9.0, Windows DVD Maker, Windows Calendar, and Windows Meeting Space. This irritates me to no end. Is there anyway I can...

Very annoying... indexing only looks for filenames inside ZIP files/achives... any way to persuade it to attend to the file types inside and if it has a filter (e.g. Office Filter) to index the content? I have a LOT (word & excel) in zip files, and I need the contents index. Thanks! BTW - what happened to the New Folder button on Explorer windows - another aggravating omission for no...

Hi, I know how to filter files and everything.. I just want to know how to save it. An example: Everytime I open a window it shows in "large icons".. I don't like it... I'd like to open automatically in "details" mode. The same happens to the headings... when I open the picture's folder, the headings by default a Name / Date Taken / Tags / Size / Rating...
