1) Rename a file and you lose track of it due to the automatic sorting feature. In XP you controlled this behavior by hitting F5. Words cannot describe my frustration over this!
2) Quite often when you Alt+Tab to an Explorer window, the focus is gone and you must click the file area to be able to navigate with the keyboard.
3) The "Burn"-button and its friends cannot be removed. This is a travesty!
4) The new column-filter thingy is cool sometimes, but it should be possible to turn it off!
5) The new remaining feature is good, but it should be easier to select the file extension if wanted. I'd suggest hitting F2 a second time should select the entire filename. Where's the creativity?
6) When you open a folder the first file should be selected. Total Commander has done this correctly for years now. They never learn at MS?
7) The path found in the address field cannot be dragged and dropped, as in XP. This feature is especially useful when copying paths to a command prompt... sigh!
8) changed behavior from "up" to "back". Annoying, but OK since "Alt+Up" does what you want.
9) This stupid "Grade" column tends to pop up everywhere I have source code files.
I'm supposed to be backing up the *imageres.dll* file because I'm replacing it, but I renamed it inside the System32 folder, and now every thing in my computer's a mess. :cry:I dunno what to do now, I can't rename the file nor I can't replace it,it's always error. Now, my computer can't open like half of the stuff it needs to and now half the icons for like folders and stuff are retarted. I can't even open the Control Panel.
I have an external HDD - Western Digital Elements 500GB. I formatted it to NTFS a while back. The HDD itself is fine. Vista Ultimate x64 has serious issues though. I am administrator, yet suddenly I cannot rename any file. I can't press F2, I can't right-click and do Rename (it isn't even on the right click menu), it isn't on the toolbar menu, just gone.
I've been renaming files all week just fine. Now this. It happened last week sometime too. Also sometimes it randomly decides that I can't add or delete anything to the drive. When I go into the Security settings, it says Admin has full privilege. When I try to set full privilege on User, I get an error message for *every file on the disk* saying that the file is Write Protected. It is not. Well it shouldn't be. This is another problem. Vista decides that every file on there should be set to Read Only. I uncheck the box, and it re-checks it when I reopen it.
I have two files (exe, probably installed from the internet) which windows Vista will not allow me to delete despite having an administrator's account. I can rename or move them but can't delete them. Also, and possibly related, my bin doesn't seem to be working correctly when I empty it it doesn't make that satisfying sound anymore and the icon still shows it as full?
I've been looking at articles on the internet the past 2 days but haven't found an answer. MobSync.exe starts periodically and I'm trying to prevent this form occurring. I'm unable to rename the file (even though I am the owner). I can't find any settings for anything in the 'Sync Center'. How can I prevent Mobsync.exe form starting?
i am trying to rename folder'S name message displays THE FILE OR FOLDER DOESNT EXIST.i tryed to run downloaded registry fixer to fix this problem,but its opens in notped with lots of simbols.i have windows vista 32 bit.i think it occured after installed updates
On external hard drives. is there a way to take control on the whole drive? (TONS of folders on 2 different drives that i'd like to rename, etc here and there.
I want to rename /Desktop/Linux_Mag_Bugs.eml to /Desktop/Bugs.txt A right click on the icon does not give me the opportunity to change the suffix. Question: How can you change a file suffix?
When i try and change the name of any folder, new or old, i get an error message that says "the file or folder does not exist" . i have tried every registry fix, download, settings change that i can find, and nothing helps. i have tried the fix on the microsoft site as well, but to no avail. if there is any ideas out there as to why the fixes that seem to be working for other people aren't working for me, they would be much appreciated. i am running vista business x 32 on a lenovo laptop. the operating system came preinstalled. i cannot recall any particular event that may have caused this...
In 2001 I bought a stand alone CD recorder to transfer my vinyl collection. I am now in the process of ripping the resultant CDs and I thought this might be a good time to correct some of my early recording mistakes - the most common being that I forgot to manually increment track numbers. Is it possible to split a single WMA track into the original component tracks and, if so, how do I proceed?
I am trying to Install Windows Vista Ultimate OEM 32-bit on my new build that I recently purchased. I have got to different stages and have had so many errors that I have lost track. I have got the BSOD numerous times and to be honest, I don't know why I decided to buy Vista.
I have got so far to the Hard drive drvers screen before I plugged in my USB memory stick and it stopped responding. After that, I haven't go as far. Sometimes I get a BSOD right after it has finished loading the files explaining to me that it couldn't write to the memory because it was read-protected. I haved also got to the language select screen but it doesn't respond. I've even got as far as the regristration key input (again) and I get a little pop-up box saying all sorts of errors. Is it my system which isn't compatible? (BTW my Vista is legal)
When I first bought my computer with Vista I have some really bad issues with the Norton and Mcaffe antivirus. I then downloaded Trend Micro. Between these three programs I ended up having some drivers removed etc.(that's been corrected). It was a huge mess and between customer support and tech. help from Trend Micro and e-machine I ended up removing programs that I was told were incompatable and needed to. They also had me doing so many system restores I lost track of where I had originally started. I do know for sure that I removed about 5 programs that were incompatible with Vista and AVG free edition was one of them. I am now using Windows Live OneCare anti virus and it has been doing well but recently I received an update and now I am getting an error that Widows Live OneCare is incapatiable with the AVG Free Edition that was once on my computer but was removed before one of system restores.
The AVG shows up in my list of programs in the 'add and remove programs' in the control panel and can be seen listed in my program files but if I try to remove it ( and I have tried many times) an error occurs because it was removed a long time ago. I have several programs that are like this but don't know how to keep them from showing up in my add/remove or in my program files. I tried contacting the support and help people that I bought the computer from ( e-machine) and also contacted support from Trend Micro as it was mostly their program that messed me up to start with, but both help and support personnel only made things worse.
I finally had to stop asking them for help as the advise they were giving me was totally insane. I don't even think there was a human being answering my emails from the type of answers I was getting back.Is it possible to get these programs from showing up and totally removed from my computer? I know the AVG can't be conflicting with my Windows Live OneCare because it was removed by going to the Add/remove and removing it but I don't like looking down and seeing that my anti-virus keeps showing it is at risk. I am not that experienced with computers but I think I could follow directions if someone had some " not to awfully technical advice" :o)
I have recently bought a MP3 player & have set about filling it with music using Windows Media Player, I have noticed that some albums seem to get unstable & skip a bit like a needle going across a record. The CD's are well looked after & not scratched. The problem seems to be somewhere in the ripping process as the tracks skip when played back on the PC, I have tried ripping the same albums on another PC with similar results so it's not anything to do with my CD Drive, I tend to think the CD's are read too fast but that's just my opinion. I'm not 100% sure but I think it may be long compilation albums IE. Greatest Hits that seem to be the main culprits,

Brother purchased new laptop. Vista Home Basic 32 bit SP1. Turned on machine and connected fine via ethernet cable to home network. I logged in remotely and watched and acted when required as both Vista and McAfee downloaded and installed numerous updates. On one occassion when asked to restart now or later after McAfee finished updating, I chose later. I then installed LogMeIn on this computer so that upon reboot I would have more control.
That may or may have nothing to do with issue now but ever since then, when warm or cold re-start of computer is done, computer does not obtain an IP. Have to go to CPanel/Network/Diagnose and choose automatic rediscovery of IP which works just fine.
I have a Vista Business laptop which I connect to the internet via wireless, and need to VPN to my company. I have created a VPN connection and it works until I'm connected to my company server. I then , and the Network and Sharing Center shows both connections as Local Only. If I disconnect the VPN, internet access is restored.It seems Vista cannot cope with two connections to different networks!
I have had Vista Home Edition for about half a year. About a month ago, I noticed that every time I rebooted the PC, I lost certain information. My prefered locations on Weather Underground and my site information on TV guide vanish. I have been cleaning my cookies for many months using CCleaner, but I have designated that the cookies for these two sites are not to be erased.
I recently bought a new desktop. Os is the vista home premium edition. The internet often lose its connection. My msn keeps on re-connecting again and again. when i checked the status of the connection, everything is perfectly fine, the signal strength is excellent. I have no problems with my previous xp desktop. Everything is excellent, well, until it crash.
recently i have been having problems with my browsers. i use both safari and firefox over a wireless network at home.
i can happily surf for around 10 mins with safari, but after that time it is as though i have lost my connection to the internet. i can then use Firefox for a short time, around 5 mins after that, then the same problem arises. in order to get back online i have to restart my laptop.
i have no idea what the problem is, its been doing it for over a week now, and i need my internet as i have university deadlines coming up.
the router/isp are fine, as my flatmates both have steady connections (ones running XP the other Leopard). avast, ad-aware, and malwarebytes all come up clean- though i had some reported malware a week or so ago which adaware dealt with
i have however been trying to make my laaptop as fast as possible without overclocking it, so have been diabling startup services and other non-essental services that eat my precious ram and cpu power. is it a common vista problem? or have i changed a setting or something thats making it do this? i have read other threads with simmilar issues, but have not found anything that helps.
I bought a Vista Home Premium x64 last week-end. Today a friend, i think saw my product key for Vista. I think he note that. If he use that Product Key somewhere, I can lose my Genuine License?

hd(high-definition) video refers to any video system of higher resolution than standard-definition (sd) video, and most commonly involves display resolutions of 1280=d7720 pixels (720p) or 1920=d71080 pixels (1080i/1080p). and, when you want to upload these hd videos on Internet or play them on ipod, you will come across this problem - "i need to convert hd video formats for uploading or portable players, but why the output quality often gets bad after conversion?" this article can help your resolve this issue -convert hd video and not lose the quality.
this hd video converter supports hd video output and all resolution parameter of the hd video in the settings have been changed from 1280*720 to 1920*1080. so, you just need to select the output video format from the hd video column (mp4 for ipod, wmv for uploading, etc.) and adjust the resolution to 1920*1080 and bit rate to 10000 kbps or 8000kbps.(this hd video converter also supports setting resolution parameters manually, so you can type the data by yourself). after parameter adjusting, you can edit the video effect or start to conversion directly.

I have an old cordless phone (at least I guess it is ) it's a 2.4 ghz. I just noticed when I make a call I lose wireless internet connection. has this happened 2 any1 else? ( i have made many calls and long ones at times but I just noticed it happened today and verizon said I have to get a 5.8 ghz phone.
Have a small network consisting of one Win XP Media Center Ed. and one Vista home premium (and an Internet router). The Vista crashed and was restored to factory and apps reinstalled, etc. Each computer has dedicated IP address, and each runs a version of Norton Internet Security. They are in the same workgroup. Prior to the Vista problem, all was generall well. Now, the XP seems to lose network connectivity to the Vista computer when the computers are turned on in the morning. This is important for many reasons, including that the XP uses a printer attached to the Vista for most of the XP's printing needs.
I have set up a user on Vista that matches the user on XP, and have set the NIS on Vista to allow all connections to the IP of the XP box. And all is well until that reboot. There may be more to that, but in the few days the rebuilt Vista has been up, that has been the story. I have been able to restore the connection by launching Network Places, and searching for the name of the Vista computer. It so far does not show up in the network view until I do a manual search using the computer name. Then when it comes up and I double-click on the Vista C: drive, I'm prompted for login info, which I give and then I get connected (why is this not automatically done for me?). I've also mapped a drive to the Vista and set that for "reconnect at login."
It was suggested to do a system restore to correct the problem of my computer restarting itself, which started after an update. I'm concerned if I will lose my files since that time if I do a system restore. Or what does it restore? Can someone explain it a little more to me....
