64-bit Vista Home Premium. I just tried to view the contents of the Vista clipboard and discovered that I couldn't do it. I did some research and read that a few people got around this by copying clipbrd.exe from their XP system and dropping it into Vista's system32 folder, but there were apparently issues in so doing. Is there any way I can view the clipboard contents?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI am not sure what is going on, but I think it may be an over-aggressive registry cleaner. I am running Vista Ultimate 64 and every time I get an open file dialog box, and try to open the menu at the top of it to select the way I want to view the folder contents (List, Details, Thumbnails, etc.) the button stays depressed and after a few seconds I get the Server Busy... Switch To | Retry | Cancel... dialog. The Cancel button is always grayed out. The list always comes up eventually, after several hundred Retry clicks... If I do not move the mouse I do not get the Server Busy dialog, but it takes 30-45 seconds for the list to appear. After that everything works fine. I am running Vista Ultimate 64-bit on an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 5000+ @ 2.6GHz with 3GB RAM and an nVidia GTS8600.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am running Vista x64, installed maybe 2 years ago.It seems to be running fine except I can no longer use the cut/copy/paste functionality.I ran sfc /verifyonly and Vista says nothing is wrong.To test,I open Notepad and type in a word.I highlight and right-click on the word and select "cut" but nothing happens (no errors, either).CTRL-X also does nothing.I can select "copy" but it's hard to say if that's working or not (probably not, if "cut" isn't working).With nothing in the clipboard, "paste" is grayed out and is not selectable.In Excel,I get the "cannot empty the clipboard" error, but forum posts seem to indicate that is an Excel weirdness and not particularly Windows-related.Here's a really weird thing:I can still use cut/copy/paste without issues in a MS Virtual PC instance.No problems there.It's running on the same machine.I rebooted and it worked again for a bit.Now it's not working again.

Why when MS Outlook this supports? I know that Thunderbird doesn't allow it as well but WinMail is he "Microsoft" product isn't it? If I receive a message with images attached than all of this are showed inside the body automatically. Why? I'm used to open it manually from attachment.

You Microsoft wonder why Vist awas a fisaco versus WindowsXP. Here's one example I just wanna spit and close this laptop, walk outside, and quit working. You can't focus on ANYTHING.

View 9 Replies View RelatedIt just doesn't work.
I have a simple text file with a certain word in it.
I try to find this text file, but vista won't find it.
Windows 2000 finds it within a second.
I have tried all available options.
"include non-indexed"
"always search file names and contents"
"find partial matches"
"include subfolders"
etc

It just doesn't work.
Why is there not a simple search function that actually works like in

View 6 Replies View RelatedVista booted to the Desktop OK despite the new MoBo having a totally different chipset etc. However one problem niggles, if a CD/DVD is inserted any attempt at accessing the contents in Explorer locks up the system and I loose the Desktop, even Cntr+Alt+Delete doesn't work. On first boot Vista wanted me to activate due to the new hardware config so I did, with hindsight maybe I would have been better off doing a repair install, as I am now concerned a repair install will require activation this could be a problem with Microsoft maybe?.

View 8 Replies View RelatedUsing Windows Mail which was working fine this morning. Installed the recommended MS updates this afternoon, WM started running very slowly (taking 3-5 seconds to change message when clicked) now every e-mail and newsgroup message shows name and subject, but the content is completely blank. I can open them up, and the content is stored as an attachment, eg AT000223.html AT000223.txt, which I then have to save (if I click either attachment, I get "file not found" error), then I can open it up and read the mail. I have read and tried the fixes where I changed the "read messages in plain text" option, and the encoding options, still the same. I've done the maintenance on the folders, I've also emptied the temporary Internet files as a forum, still nothing.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently switched from an XP machine to a Vista machine (yes, I am an old newbie). I retained most of my programs. However, they do not behave the same. In particular, under XP if I did a Ctrl-Click on a link (e.g., table of contents page in MS Word) I would be moved to the link target.
However, under Vista I get the message "This operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effecxt on this computer. Please contact your system administrator." Since I am the system administrator, and only user, on this machine, this doesn't he;[ much. I assume it has something to do with some security setting in Vista but have been unable to figure out where or how to "fix" it.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI just got a new HP Vista Home Premium computer. My old XP Media Center computer with all my programs and files - I don't have that many pictures and no movies etc. - held about 25GB of stuff (both Defraggler and Norton Ghost indicated that 25GB was the size of the entire contents of the C: drive).
My Vista Home Premium computer, with all my programs and applications transferred over from the XP machine, has drive contents of a whopping 100GB(!) according to Defraggler. However, the Norton Ghost backup file of the C: drive is under 25GB in size. Both the XP and the Vista computer are on NTFS file systems. What can be bloating up this new Vista machine? I've looked around with Power Desk Pro 7 and don't see much. DeCrapifier doesn't identify anything obvious.

View 9 Replies View Relatedif i install a new drive, which is to be a replacement for a failing drive, can I get away with just copying the contents off the old one onto the new one, then installing that?

Is there any cloning utility I can use, for example within Nero 8 as I have that?
