View 5 Replies View RelatedMany programs have links embedded to allow an internet address to be opened e.g. a clickable button to open Internet Explorer (or other browser) and go to the program writer's site, or a button to look for updates. I've only just realised after a couple of months with Vista, that these don't work any more
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a stupid amount of MP3's so I store them in my slave drive which is a lot bigger than the main drive. The question I asked myself is can I link the Music link to the MP3 folder in the D drive which was easily done with the properties by right clicking the Music and altering the location of the folder.
So now when I hover over the music in the start menu it shows a long list of MP3’s which I don’t mind. The thing that is annoying is that if I click the Music link it doesn’t go to the folder like the others in the start menu i.e. Document & Pictures. I have to right click then click open. I bet the first thing you think is what a lazy bas!$rd lol? It’s Just weird the fact it doesn’t work the same way as the other links in the start menu. Another thing I would like to do is rename the Music link if that is possible?
I have recently been getting messages "Oops! This link appears broken" when visiting sites via Internet Explorer. Its not any particular site but very random and could be any site within my favrourites. I have tried using the command ipconfig /flushdns, /registerdns.

View 9 Replies View RelatedMy vista home premium seems to have a problem with its music media replay. When I open a song file, the music id fine but the vocals sound distant, inaudible and a large amount of echo. I did download an mp3 player called morpher or something very similar but deleted after playing two songs, has this damaged my music files or my computer? I am unsure if the mp3 player is the culprit but all was fine beforehand.
I have updated the realtek driver but has made no difference to the vocal reproduction. I have also tried a system restore to a date well before the mp3 player was put onto the computer, it still made no difference.

Windwos Explorer cut and paste fails.
1) will not do it.
2) leaves empty folders behind.
Cut and paste to folder of same name always fails one way or another.
Says save folder so I check the do i anyway box and it seems to run but
really does not.
Never had this problem in XP.
From D: to C: or from Pen Drive to C: etc.
And it is very slow doing any kind of copy.
A utilit I have does 60 Bytes / sec.
WE does < 1MByte/Sec.
Very poor performamce through WE.
What can Ido to fix this.
same with SP1 too.
I was just wondering if it was possible for the computer to boot with a broken motherboard ...
I thought without the motherboard you wouldnt even be able to get to the BIOS ... is this right?
i know this might just be a minor issue but im can't figure out why my icons are not showing up for some "files" like Adobe Extention Packages (.mxp) and (.html, .htm) and such not sure if i have others that are missing really haven't looked at all of them just yet but i can't figure out how to fix that. I am new to the whole x64 Vista so im not sure how it works when it comes to regedit and stuff like that if it's the same as 32 bit.
Additionally i have installed IconPackager by Stardock to try and fix it, no luck. Then i tried Microangelo On Display and that didn't work either. Not sure what else to do. Futhermore i have tried changeing the registry key to the default icon like in Vista 32 bit under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOThtmlfileDefaultIcon and setting the Default Value to "1%" and again that didn't work either. So let's just say i don't know where to go from there.
This is the 3rd spacebar I have ordered. I realize there is that metal thing and where it goes in the spacebar. I checked as before to see that the metal thing was secure in the plastic holders. It was (as I thought before), and I proceeded carefully to put the spacebar back in (with the metal thing towards the back forming an upside down U). When I did, once again, the metal piece dislodged itself from inside the keyboard and I put it back, however, it's not firmy in the grooves as it was. It works, but feels different than all my other keys and sometimes, and it is not working smoothly. So now I have 3 spacebars with the metal bar. Previously, I taped it so it would not move and it worked, just not perfectly.

View 5 Replies View RelatedMy copy of System Restore Services on Vista Enterprise SP2 is BROKEN.This is presumabably because of dual boot with a Windows XP problem. I have fixed the XP registry to exclude Volumes it should not overwrite. I have tried turning System Restore off. That did not fix the problem. So I turned it back on. Now I am trying to "scrub" the system so that I can initialize a new System Restore Point and get on with life. But I would prefer not reinstalling everything which would take over a week.
When I use the system protection option, the "search for restore points option'hangs. The create system restore point button is grayed out. Automatic updates and those installs using Wise Installer stall and do not complete.Apparently something has locked the function. If you have a clue as to how to untie this knot.

View 9 Replies View RelatedToday I started experiencing some strange problems with Vista's sidebar. I've never had this problem before and I've spent hours trying to fix the problem. Basically the problem I'm having looks something like this:
I've just dragged a few of the default gadgets to the sidebar to show you the problem I'm having. The Weather gadget seems to be the only one that is functioning correctly. I also cannot install user created gadgets from gallery.live.com.
I've already tried the many different combinations of re-registering various DLL files that I've seen around on the Internet but this hasn't made a difference. Could this be a problem with Java or XML? Is there a way of totally reinstalling the Vista Sidebar without having to a) do a System Restore or b) create a Vista installation disk to do a repair with?
I had a random crash today while installing the program Zone Alarm. Once I rebooted everything seemed fine except the Sidebar. All the gadgets appear blank and do not function and I can't seem to find any way to fix the problem. I tried downloading a new custom gadget but it did not work either. I tried looking at the help function and here but didn't see anything that would would.

View 4 Replies View RelatedMy son has managed to break Vista by trying to change the SID and rendering all the user accounts except a guest account account unusable. After many hours of searching i seem to find that the only solution is to reinstall Vista. I cannot log into any dministrator account to gain access to or take possession of the files from the inaccessible accounts that are still on the hard drive but i don't want to lose them as a result of einstalling. I have come up with a plan but have now idea if it will work. If i re-size and move the partition with the busted OS on and reinstall vista on the new partition i will create, will i be able to access the moved partition, take ownership of the files on it from my shiny new administrators account and copy them to the new partition. If anyone has a clue whether this will work please tell me or if there is another solution, i really don't want to lose the photos i hadn't yet managed to back up.

Some users that upgraded to Internet Explorer 8 experience issues with tabs not working properly or taking a very long time to load. It seems for most users the issue can be attributed to a problem with actxprxy.dll not installing properly during the upgrade. If you have a similar problem with IE8, fixing the issue is as simple as a running one command.
Just open up an administrative level command prompt and type in regsvr32 actxprxy.dll and hit Enter. Reboot your computer and your tab issue should be resolved....
I can't connect to the cable modem at all. There is just no way to get it working for whatever weird reason. I don't get assigned any gateway, I don't get any IP (so it rewerts to a funky 169.whatever adress). Now, I used to have this exact cable modem connected to my computer, with internet, 2 days ago. I would share internet trough the other ethernet port that I didn't use to another computer, and everything would work. Then we just had our internet crap on ourself the other day. And it was my computer that just felt like killing the internet. Ever since: My computer wont connect to the internet at all, it wont even communicate and get ip from the cable modem.
And before I get any questions on it: Took the cable from the cable modem, and jerked it into the other computer, and presto, I'm talking to you guys. No problems at all, and it worked instantly. Didn't even have to reset or restart or configure anything on the other one. Sadly the other computer only has 1 Ethernet port, and the cable modem wont work with any routers inbetween, and also only has 1 Ethernet port on it (yay for stupid hardware *sigh*). So with that and that it working not 2 days ago, makes me really wonder what is going on.............
I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate x64 and upgraded my CPU to an E8400 from a 6400 Core 2 Duo. This increased the bus speed to 1333 Mhz. It appears that it has broken both WMP and WMC. Is there any way to repair this without reinstalling Windows Vista?
View 9 Replies View RelatedThis is about my fifth build, and it went great: loaded up the OS and updated all drivers (using only 2 GB RAM), started (cautiously) loading up all my software, taking care to only load software that had 64 bit driver support, as far as I could tell. I am a graphic designer and creative director, so I use Adobe CS3 and Office and game a little. Use Skype very frequently. First off, SoundBlaster had no 64 bit support (I have never had much confident in Creative), so I simply took out the card and thought I might wait or scratch it.
More importantly, the system freezes. Hangs. Stalls, what-have-you. Just stops and needs a hard reboot. Any sounds playing at the time would stutter like a broken cd. I tried many things and am not overclocking. Eventually, needing to get work done, I simply figured there wasn't enough 64 bit driver support and yesterday fresh installed the 32 bit Vista using the alternate DVD that came in the package. Unfortunately, the system is behaving in exactly the same way.
All of a sudden I can't run a link sent in an email. When I click on it, nothing happens. Did the kids mess up something on my computer or what?
