I have setup a friends vista mail to authenticate via pacbell.net's servers for outgoing mail. All works well for a few days, then stops working. Upon re examination of the mail settings, the smtp port has reverted to 25 (set manually to 460 something) and the use ssl checkbox is unchecked. I have showed my friend how to re-set the settings so he is not losing much sleep over this one, but it annoys me.
View 5 RepliesI have a very annoying problem with my Intel DG45ID motherboard. I am noticing that my Vista power configuration setting are changing automatically! I will set my monitor to go to standby after 20-minutes and for the computer to go to sleep after 30-minutes of idle activity. Everything is fine for a week or two, then suddenly I notice that they are both set to "Never". Anybody have this issue? Alternately, is there some sort of log that I can look at to see what might have changed these settings?

I would like to create a file/files that have my newsgroup settings from Windows Mail, that I can import the next time I have to reinstall Vista. Does Windows Mail make a backup file? I searched the Vista help files but the only thing I saw was the Windows easy transfer wizard---I would like to keep this file in my Documents folder, which I back up to an external drive--Windows won't save the file to the same hard drive like I would prefer. Is there any other way to back up my Windows Mail settings?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI accidentally deleted the Mail icon from the Start Menu (Vista Ultimate x32) and a ballon came up with the steps to restore this which instantly disappeared. I run Office 2007 with Outlook as the default mail client. I did manage to create the shortcut for Outlook 2007 and drop it on the Start Menu and it works. However, on right click it does not give the three options (E-Mail Accounts; Data Files; Show Profiles) that was part of the standard options. I am able to access these options from the Control Panel (Mail) but would prefer to restore the Start Menu. I did re-install Office suite but it did not change. Is there a way to restore this back?

My question: can I simply install the 64 bit version over the current 32 bit? Can I just put the discs back into the machine and let Vista take it's course by ticking the 64 bit option when it appears on the load up screen?
Or, do I have to go through the entire process of re-formatting/wiping the drives and start from scratch? I am using the Ultimate version, and am not sure about these things.

How much trouble (cost too) to have someone change from Vista 64 to Vista 32. I am guessing that entails new drivers etc. I am just a normal user, don't play games, only the granddaughter age 11 plays games like Nancy Drew. I have a 640GB hard drive which is way more than I ever needed. Was not aware of software issues like I can't use my Photo shop Sofware and other things I have.

I recently mistakenly put a DVD-RW disc in my computer's E Drive. It was the first time I ever used a DVD-RW, and I bought a box of them by mistake thinking they were CD-RW discs. (I wanted to save money that day, so I thought I'd get the discs rather than a USB stick.) Now when I go to Computer> E Drive> Properties> Recording I have some options, but see no way to make the E Drive have CD-RW as the default rather than DVD-RW. I checked all the other tabs in E Drive> Properties as well, but can see no way to do it. This is a problem, because I just tried to format a CD-RW disc, and it went through the process only to open a window at the end saying the disc was unable to be formatted. I don't know if the change in E Drive from CD-RW drive to DVD-RW drive is related to the problem I had formatting the disc, but I suspect it might be.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI wanted to try out Windows 7, but I didn't want to upgrade Vista yet because it was still in beta. So I was going to dual-boot Windows 7 and Vista. I downloaded a copy of linux that was designed for partitioning so that I could partition my hard drive. Before I partitioned it with linux, I had just one partition for Vista and that was it. I had linux trim it down about 30 gigs and then make a new partition with that free space. It did all that and didnt report any errors. So I restarted my computer and the windows loading screen came up for about a second untill it said "Windows failed to start and a recent hardware or software change might be the cause". And it gave the the option of starting windows normally or to launch startup repair. I picked start windows normally and it went back to the loading screen. After a few seconds at that it gave me a BSOD for about a second before it restarted. I was able to see the error number before it restarted. It was 0x000000ED. So after it restarted it went back to the same message again. I picked launch startup repair that time. It then told me that I should get my Vista install disk that run the repair tools............
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm currently living in France and recently purchased an Acer computer here, with Vista Home Premium pre-installed. I'd assumed that I'd be able to select English as the display language but, apart from being able to select an English keyboard, everything is in French. If necessary, I'll live with this (it's a way of improving my French) but, if I could do it at reasonable cost, I'd like to convert it to English.
Purchsing the full English version is out of the question, as is upgrading to French Vista Ultimate and downloading an English language pack. Purchasing the English Home Premium Upgrade would have been OK, but I believe that this won't work with my current French version. An upgrade DVD was included with the computer, which appears to require payment on-line; I assume that this would be French also, so it's of no use to me......
A few days ago, I downloaded a font from the internet onto my computer. I had difficulties loading it, and in a rush to download it to complete some work I (foolishly) messed with the 'Open With' selection. I'm not sure how I did it, but I changed the file to open with Microsoft Word, and then I realised that was a big mistake so I tried making it open with Internet Explorer, another mistake. Now it opens with one or the other, but just comes up with code. It was a zip file, and I just wanted it to open with nothing, if you get what I mean, just back to default. It's a pain, because I tried downloading a brush for my PSP8 (Paint Shop Pro 8, a drawing/graphics program) and once again it opens in internet explorer which I don't want. I tried removing Word and the Internet from the 'Recommended Programs' but so it's just empty, but it doesn't let me delete them. Both the brush file and the font should be in zip files, but instead of looking like the yellow folder with the zip they have either and 'e' for the internet or 'word' icon. It's really annoying, because now when I download zip files they all come up as internet or word files. Please could someone help me get rid of the word and the internet so they just have nothing, so they open like they should in whatever they should automatically, by themselves.
