Question Mark In Address Bar
Jun 16, 2009
64-bit Vista Home Premium. When I got this system about a week ago, I discovered that by simply typing a question mark into the taskbar's address followed by a search term would
generate a google search just as if I had opened a browser window and typed the search string in there. That feature has for some reason stopped working. With both Firefox 3 and IE7 if I attempt the same operation now, ?searchterm gets translated into http://?searchterm which of course doesn't work.
This is my first Vista machine so I probably changed a setting somewhere that altered this behavior. I'd really like to get it back - especially since I've learned that there apparently is no integrated Google taskbar that can be placed into the Windows taskbar as I used to have on my old XP machine.

A 21 year old girl at the time (now 23), ransacked my family for half-hundred grands ($50,000+) because U.S. legal system in USA is skewed towards women. men are terrorized, milked & shaken down liek money tress in the name of reverse racism & reverese ceksism (can't spell certain words on this Forum). THAT girl + "free" or rather unfair trade are not just mine, but an inrecasin gnumber of peoples target.
What she was able to steal from me, should nto happen to other men. We go bomb Iraq & threaten a bunch of foreign countries, but here we're growing the opposite extreme: where peopel who have nothing todo with slavery and cekcism are paying for previous generations mistakes.................

In my Vista Home Premium SP1 I open the Defender page and in the upper right there is a question mark (?) in a blue circle, and to the right of that there is a "down arrow." If I click on that "down arrow" it will open another small screen that has a line = "update defender." If I click on that, nothing happens. Are we unable to download new updates for Defender from there? Of must we always go to the Windows Update page?

Something happened on my PC and suddenly my Pictures Folder had changed. All my pictures got a blue square with two white chevrons in left corner. I suspected that Roxio 10 took over my pictures marking them in this peculiar way. It was not. Uninstalling Roxio didn't in getting rid of the horrible "mark".

How do you mark folders read in Windows Mail? In Thunderbird, for instance, if you right click on a folder you get a drop down box with one of the options being to mark the folder read. How can that be done in WM without clicking on each message individually to mark it as read. Sometimes I keep a group of messages as not read. Then when I'm finished with them, I mark them as read.

in Window XP, i used to be able to select full address to be displayed in the address bar. But for Window Vista, I could not find the way to do it. e.g. instead of showing D:Document, i want to show \sapsgsmapsnap01document. I want to send the link to my colleague to access directly to destination folder.

Whenever i create a new email by click "To" to open up my address book for selecting any email address, or when i use "reply all" and want to add in some more email address from the address book, the computer start to run and till it stuck, so the only choice for me is to end this task and type email address instead of selecting email address from address book.
i thought that this is because i got too many email address, thus i deleted most of it and now only got 700 email address inside my address book, i just can not understand that when outlook express can take more than 3000 email address book, but windows mail can not take about 700 email address book. And somemore, this email address book is just useless for me, because whenever i want to use the address book, the windows mail is going to hang... and the only choice is to go to task manager, end this task and restart my windows mail.

I've just set up my new computer and every time I do an email and try to type an apostrophe or a question mark, I get the french e or E with the accent over it. I've tried re-doing my language as I've seen in the other posts, but nothing is working!

I'm not a very technical person but here goes. I have an acer desktop at work and for some reason it will not pick up the internet. We have tried everything, even changing the cord. We have cable internet and I'm on a router/hub with 3 other people. When we try to put an IP address in and save it we go back in and see that the IP address is gone. It won't hold it.

Up to a few weeks ago, I was able to change my IP address with these commands:
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
But all of a sudden, I cant. I talked to my ISP and they say that nothing change on their side and I still have a dynamic IP. I believe that maybe one of the updates is responsible for this, I update to SP1 and almost every update exist for vista. So, my question is, do you know maybe on an update that can cause this?

I just bought my wife a new computer - it has Windows Vista Home Premium Edition for an OS. While I don 't know Vista, I think I have the machine pretty well set up - even though I am a XP person. It seems Vista has some new features, including a scheduling calendar. Does anyone know if Vista includes a address list - you know, the old-fashined one where you can keep track of names, street addresses, telephone numbers etc?

Can some explain in LAYMANS terms how to set up a static ip address in vista and are there any bad implications in doing so? The reason is I live in the UK and wish to join a UK based internet forum/club but they will only accept UK based ip addresses which apparently mine is not.

What does this mean and how do I get rid of it? Your message cannot be delivered to the following recipients:
Reason: Server rejected MAIL FROM address. Diagnostic code: smtp;550 SC-004 Mail rejected by Windows Live Hotmail for policy reasons. A block has been placed against your IP address because we have received complaints concerning mail coming from that IP address. If you are not an email/network admin please contact Remote system

my OS is Vista Ultimate, and I get IP from dhcp server to connect Internet I mean my IP is like 10.x.x.x. When I was using XP, If I use ipconfig/release & ipconfig/renew, then I can get a new IP from dhcp. But now, the method above can't refresh my dynamic IP address. If I want to change my IP address, I must first set a static IP and connect to gateway then disable my ethernet adapter, cancel the static IP and use dhcp again. Finally, MAYBE I can get a new IP. Even I reboot or shut down my computer for a whole day. When my computer gets to dhcp server if there isn't any other computer is USING my IP then I can't get a new one. I want to know, How can I refresh my IP address easily under Vista?

We have some new Visat pc's added to our network and all of them are showing the same problem. What happens is when the users start the pc's they get a message saying the IP address is in use and they have to go and manually change the address to get working. All the pc's are configured with static ip addresses and have been checked to make sure they are on different addresses. Has anyone got any ideas on what is causing this? I have seen one workaround which involved adding some batch files to the startup routine to swap between static and DHCP but I do not want to go down tis route.

I bought a new laptop with 4 GB RAM and Windows Vista Ultimate 32 bit OS. I believe I should be able to update to 64 bit Vista ultimate version. But I do not know where to get the media from? The laptop company where I bought my laptop they do not have 64 bit Vista Ultimate version. Also why does 32-bit Ultimate can not address more than 3GB? Is that a limitation?
