I'm writing a batch file which calls a 32 bit.exe program. I want it to be compatible with the different Windows operating systems. The problem is that the path to "Program Files" is different depending which OS is being used.

Without a doubt the worst windows version ever made! Microsoft were finally on track with windows XP pro but they had to go and screw it up by bringing us vista! Nothing works, nothing is compatible every program supposedly compatible seizes or shuts down! It is constantly vulnerable to viruses! There's no end to the complaints I have about this crappy version of windows! Wake up microsoft because you're just soft now and nothing micro about it!

We have no software now that lets us cut out objects and put them into new backgrounds. I dont care that you took PICTUREIT! away (WELL I DO CARE), if you had replaced it with something else that was equally as functional or better, but to take it away and not replace it with anything comparible is rediculous! You have gone back 7 years in time
People use this software every single day of the week. I use it so much I would be willing to pay a per month price to have access to it ! Could Microsoft PLEASE give us a suitable program that is VISTA compatible. Why dont you just make these obsolete products available by monthly subscription ? you would make HEAPS of money off it and your customers would be a lot happier than they are now !

I am in the process of replacing my current PC (with Windows XP) for a new upgraded PC with Windows Vista. My concern is that all my old software in my current PC (with XP) may not be compatible with Windows Vista. But I am told Microsoft has come out with Vista SP1 that should take care of all compatibility. Is this true? Has anyone had any problem with Windows Compatibility in installing old software from XP into Vista?

So in sending attachments from my MSN e-mail, I am having trouble with attachment size. For some reason some of my photos end up being over 1,500 KB. Which of course takes forever to send. I need to make them smaller some how. I don't know how they got bigger. When some of them are normal sized and they are taken with the same camera and imported the same way.

View 9 Replies View RelatedReasons for not being able to send mail outbound using Windows Mail: Some say "Windows Mail is not compatible with most McAfee and Norton antivirus programs. Those will need to be uninstalled, NOT just disabled."
Others say "it sounds like interference from a spyware/spamware program" - what nonsense! It seems for Microsoft it was the best of times, it was the worst of times when they launched Windows Vista.....

View 9 Replies View RelatedI installed on my brand new Windows Vista PC an unnecessary program (D-Link Monitor, but it is not important). The program is not needed and also it didn't install properly. Now when I start my PC, the program starts up displaying several messages to inform me that it cannot

I had a look in StartUp - it is not there. I tried to uninstall it to no avail.
How/where else can start of this program be triggered? And how to make it not to start?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have been using Windows line of Operating system all the way from Windows 3.1 upto Vista and now Windows 7.
(1) There is one thing I always noticed that whenever I downloaded a program for Windows from Microsoft its size was almost always huge for example recently released free antivirus solution called Morro was whooping 150 MB or so comparing it with industry leading antivirus software Eset Nod32 4 which is just 30 MB download; My question is that when all the things like required system dlls, resource files are present in the Windows system then Why the hack Microsoft's own program for Windows becomes so huge like Morro? Is it that They just package everything in it and re-invent the wheel and do not trust their Windows system installed at the user side.
2)When we install any new Windows offering it is almost always around 6 or 7 GB full install size. But when we install any Linux offering it is almost always 4 GB to 7 GB full install with all the necessary GAMES, OFFICE PRODUCTS, SYSTEM UTILITIES, NETWORK CONFIG UTILS, PROGRAMMING TOOLS ALMOST ALL, MULTIMEDIA PROGRAMS AND WHAT NOT - installed in one go and they are now industry standard and very usable.
when we spend say more than 300 bucks for mere BARE BONES SHELL of Windows which is always bug ridden and comes with a high requirements and there in linux world we get the whole world for peanuts, WHY? Why Microsoft is paying millions to a army of programmers who are always just churning out a barebones shell Operating system with mere Aero and glass effects thrown in? Where is Utility which we are looking for?

View 4 Replies View RelatedOurs is a home computer that is used by my wife and myself. Together we receive less than 20 e-mail messages per day. I notice that Windows 7 does not include any e-mail program at all, so I was wondering about the future of Windows Mail. Even Windows Live Mail is complicated for us "Old Timers". I guess I would like to see Windows Mail go on forever.

So, someone in this group told me to upgrade to Windows Live Mail. I did that and so far have been very happy with it. Except that, I can't find new stationery for the program.

Is Windows Live Mail really Hotmail? I look forward to hearing back from someone about this.

View 8 Replies View Relatedusing this Windows Mail program to read messages in the MS bases. Where in the world is the internet files/cache/cookies stored now anyway? I've used the same method in viewing them for quite some time now, but using the same method after getting this new laptop with vista installed isn't showing me the files. I suppose that the files could be being handled differently now, but I'm not sure. So are these files STILL stored/accessed the same way?

I can't even find it to uninstall it and then download it again! I have just found another post which said to right click on the desktop and type in C:|windowsehomeehshell.exe to create a shortcut. This worked but when i tried to open the application using administrstor option I got this message. Windows cannot open this program because it has been prevented by a software restriction policy. For more information contact your system administrator. I am the administrator and I don't know what I'm talking about!! Any ideas please???
The executable stays loaded as a process. That process has to be manually dumped before the program can be restarted. Is there a fix for this problem?
