Items Missing Or Not Working...
May 18, 2008
Im running Vista Ultimate x64, which has been working fine for ages, no problems I havnt been able to sort out untill now. For some weird reason the sidebar wont load the gadgets or run the already installed items. Sidebar runs ok but without loading anything. Ive searched the forum and googled it to death but cant find a working solution.
Secondly, Windows Update wont start from the control panel anymore. It seems to do auto updates ok, but cant open it manually. Hoping you good people can point me in the right direction. Neither are major probles, just want to know why this has happened and how to resolve it.

I rearranged my Start menu recently. I've just discovered that some items are now missing from the "Accessories" folder. I currently have:
Ease of Access
System Tools
Command Prompt
Notepad
Run
Windows Explorer So, things such as "Wordpad" are missing.I would be grateful if someone could tell me what menu items are missing, and the links to those items.

There are some strange missing items in the windows mail version I got with my PC. Where do I look to find out what my version is? And where if possible can I get it updated? Microsoft is incessantly updating my PC but never seems to query my version of windows mail although it is obviously flawed.

my Recent Items list has disappeared. I've been to the Start Menu properties window, and under Privacy, I only have a single entry, "Store and display a list of recently opened programs". The corresponding entry for documents is missing. Furthermore, although I can check the one-and-only tick-box, the setting doesn't hold, and it's unchecked again next time I open Properties. I have a Recent Items folder (with the correct icon), deep in my User folder, but it's empty. I tried restoring the desktop.ini file from an early disk image, but although the restore appears to work according to the image program, the folder remains stubbornly empty. It's as though some system setting registry value has been set prohibiting the use or display of this Recent Items folder.

i had not used my dvd drive in a while (oh yea it's a hp dv6824) and the other day i tried to open it and it would open so i used a paper clip and opened closed it back . No response so i restarted the machine , my drive no longer appears in my computer or device manager, so after a few days of doing just about everything i could think of including restoring to factory state, nothing worked the drive would function while the machine booted but as it loaded vista it stoped functioning instantly.
i did the registry fix for the upper and lower fix (itunes issues) nothing still After getting throughly frustrated i removed the drive put it back and still nothing so i did a bios flash back to an older bios and magically it started working again then i went to sleep and so did the machine upon the machine resume it all disappeared again i tried the bios flash once more to no avail

I've been using Windows Mail for 18 months without any significant problems.
Now, when I delete an email from my "Inbox," it does NOT appear in my "Deleted Items" folder. It just seems to disappear. I did read many of the earlier posts and have tried the suggestions. I've gone to Tools>Options>Advanced>Maintenance - the "Empty messages from the Deleted Items folder on exit" is NOT checked. I've also gone to Current View "Show all messages" - that's identified/checked. Is there something else that I can do? I'd appreciate any suggestions. This is the first time I've used
the Discussion Group, so I hope that I'm doing this correctly.

A lot of times, I just can NOT right-click, or do many other things, etc. Like...
Can't Right CLick
Missing Menubar
Missing Menu Commands
Thing won't open
History Dropdown list in IE Messed up!
I think it's Memory/resource BUG, am I right? What's the cause? How do I fix it?

When you click this tab it shows you the recent items you have opened or used. You use to be able to clear that in windows 2000 and older versions. Can you clear this in vista?

I deleted something and could not find it in the recycle bin, and it shows 3 items in there, but when I empty the recycle bin, it said 6 item deleted. So I guess my recycle bin is not displaying all the item?

I just got a Vista Premium computer, 64 bit with an AMD Phenom 9100 processor. I'm still not familiar with many of the basic functions in Vista, but I'm pretty good at figuring things out. However, I just installed 2 of my old hard drives from my old computer (which lost its motherboard), and so now I have 3 hard drives. When I was looking at my files in one of the old hard drives, let's call it J:, I found that items had been moved around. They were in a specific order and now things have been moved since opening the HD with Vista. I already tried dragging and dropping the items to put them back in order. Only 1/4 of them are out of order, but when I try to drag and drop, it appears I can drag, but not drop. The file does not move to the new place where I drop it in the same folder. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Does Vista not allow the flexibility of moving contents inside a folder? I really need these items to be put in the correct order. They are not in alphabetical. How do I do this very simple fuction? I will probably have figured it out by the time someone answers this, but then again I haven't yet, so I'm hoping for someone who can tell me how to do this very easy thing.

I have OE 5 Sent Items.dbx and Folders.dbx (from my old ME laptop) with my Windows Mail directory files on my new Vista laptop, but Sent Items won't open. When I click on it, my new WM Inbox opens instead. My old Sent Itemsfile retained its 221mb size in the move. When I open the WM program and see my Inbox, the old Sent Items aren't showing as folders on the left side.But if I search in the directory path: C driveusersmy nameApplication DateLocalMicrosoftwindows maillocal folderssent items -- it is there full size.
I have placed it there by itself, then dragged and dropped into the other sent
items folder with folder.dbx -- either way, the 221mb of sent items do not
appear.

I have three Web based e-mail accounts. One of them is a good 'Google Mail' account. It is different to the other two accounts in the way that it does not have a 'Deleted Items Folder' as such. What the account contains is:
'Google Mail'
'All Mail'
'Drafts'
'Sent items'
'Spam'
'Starred'
'Trash'
Recently I signed up to a Website to receive their news literature in the form of an e-mail. I have since undersubscribed to the Website so that they may not send me any more of their newsletter e-mails. I have three of their e-mails all in the row in the 'All Mail' folder. I have tried deleting all three of those e-mails and they disappear at first. When I go to another folder and then come back to the 'All Mail' folder, the three e-mails are back again. I have tried to get rid of them many times but every time I go back to this folder, they are come back again..........

All of a sudden I can no longer see my deleted or sent items in Windows Mail. The views on the folders are all set up correctly to show all and I can send and delete OK.
If I right click on the? Sent? folder it tells me the number of items in there which increases by one every time I send a mail? .I just can't see any of the mails. The 'Deleted' folder is even in bold indicating unread messages....if I could see them!

I have right clicked on folder and selected "empty deleted items folder", but am unable to empty it in one click.I have to delete each item one at a time to empty folder,and obviously this takes some time,as the inevitable question " are you sure" appears before I am allowed to do this.Does anyone have the solution?

I got my Vista computer 12 days ago and am trying to transfer stuff from my old XP. I created several "users" for different purposes and imported all my old messages from OE6 with no trouble. After a week I decided I didn't need all those users and now want to consolidate and move the old as well as the newest messages from to one users account to another.
I was doing fine as long as I drug the .eml files into an open Mail folder. But since the old Sent Items folder was very large I tried dragging it (after copying it to the Public area and changing the ownership) directly into the Windows Mail Local Folders area. When I opened up Windows Mail it did in fact show all of my old messages. But it wouldn't open any of them, and worse yet, it won't let me delete the phantom messages. If I drag any the .eml versions of those messages into the folder they show up as duplicates, and those are both readable and deletable. I need to know either how to find and delete the phantom files, or else how to recreate the Sent Items folder.

Have been using Windows Mail on Vista for a week and have had many problems. Latest one which has just occurred is that none of my sent emails are being saved into the "Sent Items" folder. Another probelm is that unless I have already sent a recipient an email WM will not autocomplete their names when I begin typing their address into address box.

i runned some optimization programs on my vista system, and i think it changed something in the registry. Now, when i delete an item from recent items list on startup menu (right click -> delete), it displays "are you sure you want to move this item to the recycle bin? ". by clicking "yes", it moves the corresponding shortcut of this item into recycle bin.
before i runned this optimation, when i delete an item from recent items list, there is no this delete confirmation dialog, and it removes this item from recent items list without moving the shortcut to recycle bin. (for regular file delete operations, it asks for this confirmation and move files to recycle bin as usual. the only difference is about the deletion on recent items list.) is there a way to fix this problem? i don't want this delete confirmation dialog because i am only deleting a shortcut (not the exact file.)

I use to type a short one word phrase to open Selective Start (or whatever it was called). Two years have gone by and I've forgotten what I typed. This was in XP. How do you do it in Vista....Has it changed?

I downloaded and installed a bunch of updates today. I now notice that the Windows Mail screen has two new items which I'd like to remove.
1. Upper right corner, a search window.
2. Just below it, a window to indicate which messages to hide or show.

I know there are many threads on the above and have tried downloading the KB041090 fix. I do use 32bit Vista Home s/ware. However, it says that this programme fix is not applicable to my system....so I also tried the 64bit patch and this gave me the same response. Everything was running just fine until about a week ago....
I do use Norton Antivirus, but it expired about a week ago and I have reinstalled it today - neither action seems to have made a difference to the fix issue. I currently have about 200 e-mails that I could do with getting rid of...

I have just bought a new pc with Vista Home Premium x64. Problem is that the recycle bin won't show deleted items. The bin just looks empty. If I click on empty recycle bin it prompts me if I want to delete these 16 (or whatever number) items, so they must be there but will not display. I have tried displaying hidden files and checked in recycle bin properties that files are not deleted rather than placed in the bin to no avail. If I click restore items nothing happens.
