Been using Home Premium 64 SP1 on HP Pavilion dv7-211 laptop for about 3 months. Still using 98SE on two desktops and XP on another laptop. I'm 75 and my memory has not improved with age, so I may not remember everything correctly. My best recollection is that I didn't have the problem until recently. Every time I totally shut down I lose my resolution setting. It always returns to the lowest resolution. I've looked through the other posts and didn't spot this kind of problem.
Does anyone know how to get back the remember me password of yahoo messenger saved in the computer?

However, now, as I want to reformat my computer due to some technical problems, i cant remember the password for my yahoo messenger. Therefore, is there any way to get the password back (I haven't reformat my computer yet

It allows me to record any streaming sound, mic input, line input,etc. ( I converted cass tapes and Vinyl Records) I have created many MP3's from 10seconds to 8hrs. I tried to use it on my vista laptop and it just won't work. I have tried many recorders to MP3 but my built in mic picks up any sound in the room.

Is there a way to make Vista Home Premium remember network passwords so I do not have to re-enter them every time I re-start my computer. I have tried checking the remember password option but it does not do anything. Simply want to maintain a network connection to 2 computers and a shared printer on a home network. Please don't tell me that Vista Home Premium doesn't remember network passwords and Vista Business and Ultimate do!
I’m currently running Windows Vista Ultima 32bit on a Dell Inspiron D530. My problem is I can’t access certain websites i.e. www.linkedin.com the browser will search forever and not find the site or if it does find the site, usually after 15-20min it doesn’t display the page correctly. I don’t think it’s a browser issue (Internet Explorer), the same problem occurs on Safari as well. I have gone thru all the IE7’s and firewall settings, including the virus detector (Trend Micro) nothing seems to work.
I’ve contacted my internet provider (Verizon) and Microsoft to no avail… no one seems to understand why I’m having this issue. I also have two laptops running XP and I don’t have this issue on the laptops Also, if I ping the website it seems to send and receive packets correctly.
I have a Compac desktop, running Windows 7 (upgrade from Vista) and Explorer 8. My problem is the web pages that I go to and add to my favorites will not remember me. Each time for instance I go to Bank of America I have to put in all my login info again. Same with TV guide.will not remember my zip code, although it's supposed to. Is there some sort of setting I should have checked or something? It's really getting annoying to have to put in the same info time after time.
I just did a fresh install and sp1 and my Windows folder is 27gb. is this normal? it has been sinse vista released since i rebuilt the box but dont remember it being so huge.
I opened my mail yesterday and recieved ongoing message after message about 5 every second until i just had to close out mail. now when i reopened mail its askin for username and password which i dont remember setting up. what is the deal with that and how do i resolve this i need to get into my mail.
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.
I haven't been able to access the following sites on my laptop. Descriptions of the problems is included.
-Tumblr (Since October of 2009)
Cant access the site on my laptop. I can on my desktop though.
-Myspace (Since June of 2009)
I cant access the site. With a proxy yes. I crashed my desktop previously by use of a proxy so I really would like to not use one again.
-Facebook (Since Mid-January of 2009)
My inability to access face book has been a reoccurring cyclical problem for me, and it tends to dissapear for three weeks, then reappear for one. This problem was present on my desktop before I got my laptop.
-----
My laptop is a HP Pavilion dv6 with Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit.
My desktop is Windows XP (crashed twice)
I am not an obsessive user of the sites listed above. I use them to keep in contact with family and old friends.
I am the administrator on my laptop, and the only one who uses it.
My virus protection software is the newest version of Norton.
YES I have tried deleting the cache and cookies in my browsers, turning off the firewall, and tried command prompt and received no error messages. There are no blocked sites on my laptop.
I have tried Google Chrome, Safari, IE 7&8, and Firefox. NOTHING WORKS.
The error message that I receive is either unknown error, or "[insert browser] cannot access this webpage]".
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. It only happens rarely. Especially since I'd like to see what I want to buy from Kohls I am using Vista with IE 8.0.
I currently have an Acer Aspire 5100-5728 laptop with Windows Vista Home Premium installed on it. After very many months of usage with no problems pertaining to the internet, I am suddenly met with an inability to load internet websites in an acceptable time. Other programs such as Pidgin (Instant Messaging client) and uTorrent (BitTorrent client) that use the internet work flawlessly; my download/upload and data transfer speeds are not affected at all, and according to the Network and Sharing Center, I am connected.Anything in the browser bar, including my router setup, or the IP addresses of websites, take anywhere from three to ten minutes to load; sometimes they just fail to load entirely.this includes low-content pages such as Google, Bash.org, and various other websites. I've tried both Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer, and the problem is consistent. However, the problem is only specific to my machine; I am currently typing this up on my parents'Acer Aspire, connected to the same network, and websites load with no problem.
I've tried the following: -Rebooting the machine -Resetting the modem -Unplugging the router -Changing router settings -Resetting the network settings -Using wireless/wired -Flushing the DNS -Clearing the browser cache
I've also checked the Acer website, and it doesn't seem that there are any driver updates or anything of the sort.I can speculate that the problem is not with my ISP or any of the networking hardware. The various other computers in my house (running Windows Vista, Windows XP, and Ubuntu) all have full connectivity; it is only one Vista laptop that has this problem.
Whys is it that I can copy and paste to Notepad but cannot do the same on webpages? C.B.-- It is the responsibility and duty of everyone to help the underprivileged and less fortunate among us.
I am running windows vista with a wireless connection to the internet. I am unable to surf the web, but surprisingly enough I am able to view secure web sites only. Running IE to access the web. I am at quite a loss here. I have tried disabling firewalls and the like and still no internet. What is strange is that the computer shows that I am fully connected to the internet. Signal strength is good.
I have Vista Home Edition Premium 64x. I has worked fine for two months. Just recently, I cannot use the internet or play online games. I primarily use wireless but use DSL. I am able to see wi-fi networks and connect (DSL shows a connection too), but unable to load any web pages. I uninstalled Norton. Dropped all the firewalls for Windows. But still, I cannot load any web pages. WOW cannot connect. Bittorrent cannot connect. Firefox or IE cannot either. I searched all over Vista (I'm new to it) and found no settings that would makes sense to adjust for the problem. I looked at these forums and found no solutions to similar problems (Are these people trashing their Vista?).
I finally had to partition the drive and install Suse Linux 11.1 to just get to this site try to find an answer. Being that Linux has no problem with wi-fi or DSL and loading web pages, I know it's not a bios or hardware problem. I know it's Vista. What is wrong with Vista, because I never changed any network settings while using it? Is there a way to restore the network part of the Vista package without having to purchase Vista again? Vista came installed so I dont' have a instal disk. All my restore points seemed to be corrupted with this problem. What can I do?
I need a sniffer that will show me what sites people are viewing on the network. I am using wireshark atm but I did not understand how to show websites.
I know every one here has this default Vista (even XP) problem. The problem is that the folder customization / layout never stays the way you set it, even minutes later after closing/re-opening explorer.
This is driving me insane. For example, in explorer under Computer I choose large icons. Close, re-open its back to list view instead.
Sometimes other folders will somehow change views by themselves too.This is really annoying.
Someone suggested a fix months ago, but I do not remember how. Would appreciate tips on this. I *do* already have checked on "remember folder's view settings" enabled as well.
Running: Vista Ultimate 64bit w/ SP1
I tried this method, made it even worst:
'Remember Folder Settings (FINALLY Works&33 - Windows Vista Forums' windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer”
To summerise - My internet connection seems largely fine however the are certain websites/webpages which refuse to load up. It just says waiting to connect before eventually coming up with the same message you'd get when you have no internet connection. 90% of websites are fine but the 10% includes some websites i need to get on which is rather frustrating! There seems to be no correlation between the type of sites that wont work. Some examples are Microsoft Corporation , Car Insurance, Home Insurance, Travel Insurance & Credit Cards from Tesco Finance & Insurance , Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test to name just a few...
I don't believe it's actually a computer problem as my laptop (which is new) cant connect to these sites either through my home wireless network but if i connect to the internet through a friends wireless internet the sites load no problem! I dont believe its a firewall problem or anything like that as i've tried diabling them and pretty much everything else i could think of. .........
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.
This is getting very desperate for me. My problem is i am unable to access websites using my IE7 web browser. Things i have tried so far, run malware and deleted the results, run CCCleaner and deleted the results, run Anti Virus - there does not seem to be a virus on the machine although it displayed a comment on the system toolbar that there was a w32.zaposhopping virus on machine.
I am able to ping my router and go beyond that by pinging an DNS server 4.2.2.2 with successfully results so i know that there is nothing wrong witheither. I have reset IE7 explorer, i have deleted all tmp files, cookies etc.
I am able to access Google BUT it seems no other sites - I am at my wits end as to what to do next. I am very experienced with computer and work in the industury but not come across anything like this before.
I'm new to Vista. I have just connected my new laptop with Vista to my home network (XP). No dramas. But when browsing the internet (IE7), certain websites won't load (eg Apple, Ninemsn, Microsoft). Eventually it displays "Internet Explorer can't display the webpage". When you diagnose connection problems - it finds no problem.
I have tried turning off firewalls (Vista), uninstalling my AV (NOD32), disabling Vista's autotuning (which booted my brothers computer off the network, but did nothing to mine). I have tried to browse through Morzilla Firefox (but i can't load the website to download it!) and have tried disabling ADD ONs in IE. None of these change anything!
I am unable to open any Microsoft websites. I have resetted the Internet explorer. I am able to use the Microsoft website in safe mode with networking but iam no able to browse Microsoft sitre in Normal mode.
Some websites have a 'printer-friendly' button which opens a new page with the text but not the graphics, so it can be printed more easily. Unfortunately, most don't! Is there a way of printing a website's text without all the graphics?
