As you can see, the right columns, normally showing publisher and status, have disappeared. Looks the same if I start IE without add-ons. I check the add-ons from time to time, but I am not sure what has happened here since last. I believe I have installed an nVidia ActiveX to detect latest driver for my graphics card, and yesterday I installed update 11 to Java 6.

I have an issue with Windows Photo Gallery and viewing black & white images. The problem I am having is the white parts of the image seems to have an almost light blueish tint, and the black parts look like they were done using dark blue ink.
The thumbnail for the image, as well as opening it in paint and opening it in slideshow displays the image correctly.
So far, I attempted to fix this problem myself by changing my ICC profile in the color management settings multiple times, even rebooting my pc for some of the changes, as well as uninstalling my monitor drivers, with unsuccessful results. I do not know if this is an issue with my OS, my monitor, or my video card.
Today, I was forced to use my Vista Ultimate installation disc to reinstall Vista - since yesterday morning, my computer was not able to get out of a loop (first going to Windows Error Recovery and then, when selecting any of the options, going to the green loading bar, where it the green bar stopped moving about 2/3 of the way, and going back to Windows Error Recovery).
The installation went smoothly enough, but I am absolutely clueless how to get my computer to roughly the same conditions it was before this fiasco. Fortunately, it would appear that all of my files and folders from before this re-installation have been saved in the folder Windows.old. However, I am at a complete loss as to how to reconfigure my Internet connection, how to restore my previous screen resolution (there are now only three options for resolution under Display Settings), and essentially getting the basics back in order.
This problem happens in all browsers. I can't see Adbrite ads, for example. And some websites don't display correctly. Here's how my website displays Statcounter: To see how it should be displayed visit StatCounter Free invisible Web tracker, Hit counter and Web stats. I have Flash Player installed, so that shouldn't be the problem. I also have Java 32 bits SE installed.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI added a new user profile for my son last week. Yesterday, when I tried going back and making his ID an administrator, I could no longer see the ID in the manage accounts box. I can only see the ID in parental controls. Also, I cannot create a new ID and when I try to enable User Account Control (UAC), it doesn't remain on. I tried to do a system restore to a point created last week but that didn't work. Has anyone encountered this issue? Could this be a Vista bug? I have Vista Home Premium.
View 4 Replies View RelatedOK, I've been on this quest for two days now, searching all over the internet. I wonder if ANY body has the answer.
The other day my new computer (Dell Inspiron) came with a 320 gig HDD. Yes, it has the annoying EISA configured partition of 55 MB (EDIT 11/15 just caught mistake, edited from GB to MB) but that's not the big issue.
Another partition is Drive C and allocated with 288 GB and has the OS on it. Only 22.9 GB being used.
The last partition with 10 GB is drive D (recovery).
I want to take a BIG piece out of the C partition and create new partitions.
Using EITHER the Disk Managment tool OR diskpart.exe I am ONLY allowed to shrink C by 128 GB. So after using either, C is 159 GB and the new partition is 128 GB. And many reports around the internet say gparted don't work neither.
I want C to be around 30 GB - 50 GB

View 6 Replies View RelatedAre the save password check boxes missing from your network authentication screens? This is one of the most annoying issues with Windows Vista for me since I work off a local NAS I have at home all the time. Rather than just save my password as it should the first time when I checked the save password box, it seems to throw my password away after a reboot. If that was not enough, now Windows Vista no longer even gives me the option to save my password.
One easy way to fix this issue and store my passwords for real is the use the Stored Usernames and Passwords utility. Follow these steps: ...
I have been trying to dowload programmes from the BBC iplayer site but first it tries to install Adobe AIR. This fails, giving a meaningless Windows message stating that the installer has stopped working. I can't get the Manage Attachments feature to work so I can't upload images of the error messages. I have an administrator account.
Following instruction, I downloaded AIR directly from the Adobe site and found that it still wouldn't install on my account. It asks me twice if I want to run the installation exe file but from two different locations which is weird.

at some sites, the pictures don't download, but instead I get little square placeholder frames with a red x on them. I get this at Kohls.com and also Creativelabs.com. But other websites load fine.

View 9 Replies View RelatedThe problem I am having is when i enable my graphics card (geforce 9800 GTX) the edges of the display go out of viewing. I have tried using vista and nvidia drivers, either way once the graphic card is enabled with drivers the format changes and the edges of the display go out of screen. I am still able to click on the task bar and other windows when they are out of screen, because my mouse will also go out of screen to reach them.
If i disable my graphics card, the viewing area is fine.
I've trouble with displaying of *.mhtml files / content on a Vista SP2 PC.
IE8 shows "The page cannot be displayed", and Windows Mail isn't able to show mail content (IMAP server), but the list of mails is updated as usual.
Currently saved web pages (as *.mht ) can be opened!
(And their content looks very similar.)
This trouble only affects one (restricted) user account. Others and Administrator eren't affected. So reason is located in this special user profile.
The mshtml.dll is ok, of course (only Administrator is allowed to change).
A virus scan didn't produce a result.
Do anybody know how the display of *.mhtml files is working en detail?
Where can I look for the reason of this display problem (with mshtml.dll)?
I recently upgraded from XP to Vista and for the most I really like the improvements. One thing that is annoying me is that if your folder view is details and you have your mouse set to select when you hover your cursor over a file it will select the file even if you hover over the size column or the type column etc.
In XP it would only select if you hovered over the name of the file. Is there anyway to change this setting?
I'm having problems with media center displaying any kind of video on my second monitor ( well 40" sony TV). using WMP however the display is always fine. Even in media center when the video is playing full screen and the play/ pause buttons are displayed the video is fine but as soon as they autohide a frame of the video keeps repeating constantly (I'd sway the same frame at least once every second). I've tried changing the screen resolution etc in media center and in the display adapter section but I can't seem to stop this. As I said WMP and other programs play back the files correctly so why doesn't media center?
I had Netmeter installed to show network activity. I like to see if I'm downloading or if I'm just sitting waiting for nothing. Then when on vacation in June/July, Netmeter on Vista suddenly started displaying an incredibly long list of "network adapters" with the weirdest names and descriptions, while at the same time saying it couldn't find any active adapter. This after it worked for a long time (years?) on XP and then on Vista since December when I got a new laptop. In frustration I downloaded the Netmeter beta. This alleviated the problem and I could see network activity again. Unfortunately, the beta was simply an .exe file, not an install through Windows installer.
Now, after a few weeks, when I start up, I get a message that Netmeter has stopped working and that Vista has reported the problem to MS (asif that will do anything!). Unfortunately, I can't get it to not start up, since the option to start at boot-up is set in the program and since the program won't start ... you get my drift? How can I safely tell Vista to not attempt to start Netmeter at start-up?

View 9 Replies View RelatedMy board is an Asus P5QC...the most unstable board I have ever owned... Anyway, I got this board since November and it was not running it's best but the I had the basics running. In the past 3 months, I have re-installed Vista 9 times I was blaming Vista, but I notice that my BIOS for some weird reason is not displaying some option that I had before. Now my network adapter will not function properly. I tried my old driver and the latest drivers, I installed it the way it is suppose to be installed and well...no success.
I tested all my cat 5 and they are all in good condition. My router is functionning well, seeing that my other computers are working.
I m looking for the correct way of displaying all my email addresses on the left payne underneath - the Local Folders, inbox, sent, drafts etc.. instead of going up to the toolbar and going through that procedure looking for the correct addresses for an email.
I just want it the way i had it on my old pc when i used outlook express. Also currently when emailing - the persons name and email address both appear in the 'to' box, which i cant seem to fix to just the persons real name. Both of these question are real headscratchers for me and have spent many hours on them already.
The Start Menu is extremely long opening folders and sbfolders. The magnifying glass turns round and round. It can take over one minute; however, if closing the menu and coming back, I find the folder I tried to open already open; if I try to open one of its sufolders, the same happens again with the subfolder.
I've read the tutorial at Menu Show Delay Time, but that method doesn't solve my case.
I don't know if there is any coincidence, but when this problem appeared all programs started to stop responding from time to time, more often Firefox.
I inserted a new, blank 1GB USB drive into laptop. Vista Home Basic promptly asked if I wanted it to be used for ReadyBoost. I responded "Yes". Subsequently when booted-up, Right-Click Computer Advanced System Settings - Advanced tab - Performance (.... virtual memory) - Settings button - Advanced tab - Virtual Memory Change ... button.
It shows "Automatically manage paging file size for all drives" is ticked: "Paging file for each drive:" C: System managed F: (the USB stick drive): None
If I untick the "Automatically manage .." and select the USB stick drive, it shows only 103MB available; this figures, because the USB stick drive "F:", shows a "ReadyBoost.sfcache" file of 870,401kB, created at the time of the latest boot-up; thus it seems to be creating or refreshing the paging file on boot-up.........

how to resolve or further debug. I've got a Thinkpad Laptop running Vista x64 Ultimate. I reinstalled the OS ~3 weeks ago and installed my print drivers. I have 2 network printers and I also use doPDF to create PDFs. All of these were working
just fine.
Today they are not printing correctly, but not in a way I can figure out. Applications give me an error saying there is an unknown error or that there is no default printer installed. This happens in Firefox, OpenOffice, Acrobat, Thunderbird and others.
The weird thing is that if I goto control panel and try to print a test page with any of the printers it works fine. In addition, I can print txt files from both Notepad & Wordpad, but still not from Openoffice. So why is it I can print simple txt files & test pages but not from the apps I need to print from. BTW this happens for all the printers I have installed including the 2 network printers, the local PDf printer (doPDF), & the XPS printer. These all worked last time I printed (a few days ago), but not today. What can I do to ideally fix this or at least better debg this?
I have for some time had problems shutting my notebook down. For the first 2 months, it was fine, I had no problems. After than Shutting Down the notebook has became an utter nightmare.

I'm not happy having to do that, I want to be able to shut it down correctly. Like I said it doesn't always stop on "Shutting Down" screen but at least 5/10 times it will.
