I'm suddenly having a problem deleting emails from my inbox. I click on the highlighted email and drag it to my inbox and while the number in my deleted items folder increases the message is still actually in my inbox. It will then say "message cannot be displayed". I then click on the deleted items folder and the message is there. Then I go back to my inbox and it is no longer there. So my question is, why all of a sudden can't I move it? Also, when I open an email to read it, it is still showing as new until I click out of the folder.

Anyone know how to restore this on Windows Vista?I can't open MOST of my files (especially critical ones), let alone Internet Explorer or Firefox, only this Safari browser! :o
Somehow my Trash Bin icon has disappeared from my desktop and I can't even
click on the Change Desktop Icons link after I right-click -> Personalize

View 5 Replies View RelatedI downloaded Version 3.01.1 of Firefox from Mozilla in order to replace Version 3.5, which was malfunctioning with graphics problems. However, I could not istall it as I was given the message that the downloaded file was from an Unknown Publisher and that there was no digital signature or that the signature was invalid. It asked me if I wanted to install anyway so I said yes. However it would not execute and said it would notify MSft of the problem.
I've tried downloading other files, Avast for example, and got the same message(s). I went to tools/internet options/Advanced/Security and checked "Allow software to run or install even if the signature is invalid" and unchecked "Check for sinatures on downloaded programs". This didn't work either.
I got my brand new (custom Puget Systems) computer last Thursday with Vista Ultimate pre-installed. Today, Vista Ultimate (32-bit, SP1) got profoundly goofy. This new computer has an XFX nVidia 780i motherboard, an Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 (3.16 GHz) CPU, and 2 GB of RAM on OCZ DDR2-800 Reaper chips. Today, Vista has stopped opening Microsoft programs such as Vista's pre installed games, "Windows Ultimate Extras", "Windows Update", the "Default Programs" page, "Windows Explorer", and "Control Panel". (This is not an exhaustive list. The "Control Panel" page opens, but remains blank. When I click on "Windows Explorer", I briefly get an error message telling me that "Windows Explorer" is not responding, and that Vista is looking for a solution, but that message disappears quickly on its own.
Other programs open and run just fine. Microsoft Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player open OK. All non-Microsoft programs seem to open and run without problems. I scanned the computer with the anti-virus program, but the problem continues. Before this problem, I ran Windows Update several times since I got the computer on Thursday. In addition, I have been moving data over from the old XP computer and I have uploaded programs including "notepad++". I might consider using the "system restore" function, except that the "Control Panel" page opens, but remains blank....
I need some assistance. I have a Dell Inspiron Laptop that runs Vista Home Edition. Whenver I boot up and try to open a program or application, it takes a really REALLY long time for it to open. For example, whenever I try to open Firefox or Internet Explorer or even my control panel, the window will open and will be blank. Then it will start to load but either take an enormous amount of time or, after I've become tired of waiting, I'll try to exit and it will say (Not Responding). Now eventually this goes away and the window does close, but like I said, it takes a ton of time trying to open and close these things up. If I do wait it out and I do get into my Internet Explorer or Mozilla, any links that I click or addresses that I type, it again, takes forever. I've run a deep system scan with my Anti-Virus software and came up with nothing. I did a system restore to a point where the problem was not happening and, again, nothing.
View 9 Replies View Related"This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create and association in the Set Associations control panel" I have been having a problem with my computer for several days now. Opening all programs causes me to recieve this error message. I have to use right click + Run as Administrator to use any of my programs. I have done some forum surfing and tried several recommended techniques for correcting this problem but to no avail. I downloaded the exefix_vista reg file but the very same problem prevents me from merging it (I even tried fixing the reg extension but that failed aswell). I have run the sfc/scannow in command propmt but that came up empty. I would have fresh installed but I am away from home and do not have the means to reinstall vista. I apologize if this post seems in any way redundant but my forum searches have failed me. HELP! PLEASE!
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have uninstalled everything related to Adobe CS4 but still, there are two folders that cannot be deleted. One from C:ProgramDataAdobe (where ProgramData is hidden) and on C:Program FilesCommon FilesAdobe. The problem is, at startup, when I right-click on any file, folder or the like, Windows Installer keeps on opening to install Adobe Acrobat 9. I still have the Adobe Drive CS4 on the context menu even it is already uninstalled together with Adobe AIR. I tried everything I saw on this forum. But still, NONE worked. It (the files) won't allow me to change the permission settings given that I am the ONLY user.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm sorry if this seems a little silly, but I cannot find a setup file (or any files, for that matter) for one of my programs. I just installed Vista home premium (sp2, 32bit), and was glad to see MSVC 2005 listed in my programs list. I did a little programming in PYTHON for a college courese, and want to learn c/c++. Anyway, when I search for the program on my harddrive, I get no results. No setup file, no logs, no nothing. All I have is the program on my Uninstall Programs list.
Do i actually have the program, or is Vista just messing around with me?
I m not sure if this is the area to be posting but im sure Ill find out. Im new to vista (about 6 weeks), and frankly im not impressed in the slightest. I just dont seem to be able to install any programs on my computer. Ive read plenty of posts, both general and program specific but nothing wants to work. I cant even install windows live. Im signed in as administrator, tried running in compatability mode, to no avail. Am I missing some basic security setting?

About every second install is success, but I can't install some programs/games at all no matter how many times I try. When I start setup InstallShield Wizard comes up, but after it's done happens nothing last thing what InstallShield does is "Preparing to Install.", but it doesn't finish just shutsdown. Games what I have tried to install are Call of Juarez and Age of Empires III. I have found many players using vista with these games and found player who go aoe3 working with exactly same windows he had other problem). I made up that the problem is only with games/programs what are not made for vista, but should still work with patch or something after install...

View 9 Replies View Relatedi just bought vista x64, home premium sp1, and it's been nothign but hassle. i have been working with / repairing xp systems for 6 years now, there is not much that gets me on xp systems... vista however is different. i setup the system about 2 weeks ago, with new parts. the video card was backordered, so i used a 7600gt i had laying around instead. everything installed fine. i hadn't really used it, so yesterday when i recieved the other card, i thought i knew what to do. the new card is an ati hd2600, so i uninstalled the drivers for nvidia, changed out the cards, and it would freeze as soon as i could see the desktop everytime windows started. so i reformated. easy, as i had nothing on the system anyways. installed the ati card, worked fine. all the drivers back in, worked fine. now i am trying to install some programs, freezes everytime. one is nero 8, one is powerpoint viewer 2007. is there anything that works properly with x64? what benefits does x64 have? i haven't seen ANY yet.

I'd stuck with my Pentium4 on XP Pro. Well, actually did not have much choice as the old beast died a death. Mobo trashed! I got the message from M$ that HotMail would no longer be supported on Outlook, and have been trying to install Live Mail. I keep getting the error "Sorry, we couldn't install these programs". How helpful is THAT! I finally tracked down a standalone install kit for WLM and now have messenger installed and (eventually) working.
I've never dual-booted a system before and I'm interested in dual-booting my Vista with XP. I know they have to be on separate drives (though I'm under the impression that a partition is good enough... is that true?) but my question is: do I need to install separate instances of all of my programs (e.g. Steam, Office, Firefox, etc.) or can I just point XP to their locations and everything will work fine?
View 6 Replies View Relatedyesterday i created a new vista dvd with vLite, because my windows folder was too big. after that i tried to do a "repair/upgrade install", like explained in this tutorial - Repair Install For Vista
as it turned out, it went completly wrong. i reinstalled vista on C: and the old version was moved to the folder Windows.old. obviously not that, what i want to accomplish. so now im online with a new user account - "lost" the user settings from my old user account, the programs are not "installed" anymore.
here is a small comparison of my situation:
- on C: i got now a new fresh windows and the old version in the folder in Windows.old
- Windows.old contains:
-- my old user settings
-- my old programms installed on C: (not a big deal, because i installed almost all programms on E: ---> other problem, see below)
-- the old windows folder himself
- as mentioned above i installed almost all programms on E: - obviously they are still there, but they are not "installed" anymore
so here are my key questions:
1. is there an easy was to transfer my old user settings to the new one?
2. is there an easy was to "install" all the programms on E:, without reinstall all per hand? eg. about registry import or something like that...
i hope it is clear, what my problems are - english is not my native language...

I use Vista 32 Ultimate and I have this problem during the startup of Windows: The UAC control stops 2 programs and I'm not able to let these programs load with UAC control active. Tried everything also in Windows defender but no success. I must always confirm and let run these programs clicking on the UAC block tray icon that appear during the load of these 2 programs. Someone tell me that these programs blocked by UAC must be updated from the developers to pass the UAC.
