Sep 23, 2008I am trying to hide "Help and Support" on the Start Menu. I use the "Classic" menu and I am running Vista Home Premium. The “gpedit.msc” feature is not included with Vista Home Premium. It is only available when using Vista Ultimate. I suspect it will require registry tweak but I don’t know how to do it.

Jun 4, 2008I am trying to use a web based product and I was told that it would not support 64 bit Vista OS and that I would have to switch to the 32 bit Vista OS, is there a patch that I can download to allow me to run 32 bit programs? Do I need to go out and buy the 32 bit Vista and install it?

Aug 27, 2009New to Vista and want to repartition the drive in my HP machine to utilize a C, D and E partition (OS, Data, 3rd party software). Partition Magic does not support Vista. Looking at the Disk Management in Vista, It looks like I can shorten the
current drive and add new partitions. The new partitions are Primary Partitions, not Extended as in XP. Is this the correct thing to do in Vista and create multiple Primary Partitions on the disk? I assume if I add a second disk drive it could also contain multiple Primary Partitions.
Windows Vista Support Dialog Box
Feb 20, 2010I have what amounts to a minor problem with my Help and support, but I would like to find out the cause of the problem (was it something I did) and fix it. The problem is best illustrated, so I have attached a screen capture of a typical Help and support dialog box. As illustrated, each discussion point has a red X on the selection button (sorry, do not know the proper term for this). works fine but the image or icon on each button is gone and only a red X remains.

May 1, 2008I'm running Vista 64 on an AMD 64 Platform. I have the above printer. When I download drivers from Canon's website they are only Intel compatible. Yes, I have looked and re-looked and I'm sure. Canon does not support AMD 64/ Vista 64 for their Drivers (yet). I have tried to go through Device Manager, and there is no printer listed. I have tried to Add Hardware and I get "Restart Printer Spooler". I re-start printer spooler. Still no go. This may seem like a basic question. The Vista Disc, when installed does not have a repair feature like the old XP. How can I get the default printer driver off the disk?

Nov 24, 2008I recently bought a new PC that has the Windows Vista Home preloaded on it. It has no 3.5 floppy drive which I need as my family history files are all stored on floppy discs. I bought an external floppy disc drive, it installed ok, but will not read or open the data on the floppy discs. I get the message "too many arguments." I can't view any jpeg files from my floppy discs as I receive the message "Vista photo viewer does not support this file." My saved text Word documents on the floppy disc will not open either, I get the message that the files are corrupt. Also, when I insert the floppy disc into the external drive, I am instructed to Format the disc before using. I just want the external drive to read the data!!

View 9 Replies View RelatedWay To Get Vista Back Into Boot Menu?
Feb 6, 2009I've had a triple-boot set up on my laptop with XP, Vista and Windows 7 beta on three logical volumes. I wanted to uninstall the Win7 beta, and ran this command using the Win7 beta installation disk:
"e:ootsect.exe /nt52 ALL /force" (E: is my DVD drive)
Stupid. Of course, with this parameter I managed to get rid of the Vista boot option as well as Win7. Now the machine only launches XP. Does anybody know a way to get Vista back into the boot menu, short of doing a Vista repair install? I've kept all files on the volumes, it should all be there.
Context Menu Can Not Find Folder Stored Vista

Jul 8, 2008I have just built a new computer using Vista Ultimate x64 and a single GTX 280 on a 790i motherboard. I play Everquest a lot and find that when I try to load it I get a message that no 3D devices found. Going into dxdiag I discover that there are no DirectX features available.

No 64 Bit Upgrade Support
Jun 13, 2009I upgraded to 64 bit vista home premium about 3 weeks ago. When I entered the id for email support it said the product had expired so I have to pay $59.00 for support. I think that's a ripoff. My 32 bit disk is working just fine. The 64 bit is a new system and less than 90 days old.
Have had access denied error since creating the 64 bit when trying to set a restore point. I've tried everything I can find on the web including all Microsoft news groups. The 32 bit and 64 bit disks are pretty much Identical in content, programs. I suppose I can at least return the 64 bit update disk for $10.00 refund?
Port Does Not Support USB 2.
Oct 9, 2009Pretty strange that I couldn't find one google result about WHERE a USB 2.0 port is, everything is "how do I know I have USB 2.0" and not actually where they are on the computer. Some may say well, just plug in a USB 2.0 usb and see what happens.
However my USB Drive has ALWAYS been saying I'm plugging it in in a port that does not support USB 2.0. I've done this at my college and the same bs occurs. This does not occur for any of my USB drives, not even my 16G one. Should also mention that whenever I try to access the USB drive, it says "Drive E not formatted, would you like to format it now?" Obviously I click no. This by the way has nothing to do with my recent virus issues. This particular USB drive has been like this for years now.-

Jan 2, 2009Im on an HP530 with Vista Home 32bit. I wanted to see some videos on my TV (Sony Trinitron XBR) which is "kinda" old and does not sport a VGA in connection. I bought a VGA to RCA cable and got it today so I connected the male VGA to the computer and the RCA to the TV and the laptop is not recognizing anything. Am I missing something? The VGA-RCA cable ALSO has a SVideo female and also tried that one. I already clicked the windows key+x to add it manually thru the "mobility" settings.
64bit And IE7 Can Not Log XFX Support
Jul 3, 2008I just did a clean install of Vista 64 Home Premium and have run into a strange problem. I cannot log in to the XFX Support website using either 32 or 64 bit IE7 on the Vista machine. I can log in fine using an XP machine. Further when I tried to fill in the form to d/l the office 2007 trial version so I could import my mail folder from my backup disk into Vista Mail the form would reset everytime I selected the US as my country (was my only option, I assume since I had already input my state). In Firefox the form would appear to reload when I chose US but would keep everything I'd typed in as well as saving that I chose US. IE7 just wiped out all the text boxes and reset the country to choose country.
Needless to say since it blanked the form every time I couldn't get the trial initially. I've somewhat bypassed the problem by installing and using Firefox 3 which is not having either of these problems. The install was a clean install with nothing more than Vista, drivers and updates installed. P.S. I tried the IE7 group but they seemed to think I should post in the Vista groups

Activation Woes With MS Support
Mar 23, 2008So I paid for a retail version of Vista Ultimate Upgrade the day it came out, upgrading from XP PRO. Everything was fine. One day my Vista install starting giving me BSOD constantly and loss of audio so I finally after much advice did a re-install of Vista, clean this time. After hours and hours of work, reinstalling all of my programs and customizing everything again, it came time to re-activate windows. I went ahead and said activate online.....no dice, it says my key is already in use. I read the forums here and everyone said go activate over the phone....again no dice, two phone calls to Indian spekaing reps and they could not get me activated saying I would have to call MS Support. I called MS Support and they rudely said I am out of luck, I didn't re-install XP first before I fixed my Vista install...my key is good but only if I upgraded, which I did on the initial install by the way....I don't even have my XP disk anymore.......

May 4, 2009A *Canon i960* printer was connected directly to this Vista64 machine (HP). The printer test *worked perfectly*, etc. All running well. Then the Vista64 PC was *moved *to another area in the house that would not support a spot for the printer. So, the printer was attached to a *WindowsXP Home* PC (by USB). The printer, in XP, was set to "shared". (So, the Vista64 PC and XP Home PC are both on the same router within a single residence, husband/wife team.)
To access the i960 on the Vista64 PC we tried adding it: in the Printers folder we double-clicked "Add Printer". We followed through with Network Printer. The Vista "add printer" dialog box shows a network printer: When that printer is selected and the *Next* button is clicked, a "Windows Printer Installation" box pops up saying:............
