How do you sign up to a thread in this forum? (I don't mean e-mail notification). I know I've done it before, but I can't figure out how to do it now. It would be nice if there was the option of signing up to a thread given at the end of each thread.
View 5 Replies"Windows cannot access specified device path or file...." I read every thread on this error message and none of them apply to my situation. It has nothing to do with my settings in users or regedit. They are all correct, and by all accounts I should be in full control.
My Computer, Control Panel, IEx64, and documents are the only things I can access. I'm locked out of everything else. Every program, process and download has this same error message. Even my Flash is disabled. I can "run as administrator" and change settings all I want, it still has this message.
I've attempted to run antivirus and registry fixes from an external device and it won't do that either. System Restore doesn't work, and I don't have the resources to reformat. I have had a blue screen once, but it seems to be stable now. The weirdest part is when the problem started. The day it happened, it was working perfectly fine. I shut it down, and came back later that day to use it, and it was like this all of a sudden. No one has access to it but me.
at first i did everything that's out there to do. fixing the half open connections, stopping netsh etc. my problem is when i'm downloading something with firefox it wont go over 40kb it bounces between 20 and 40kbs. i'm not sure about utorrent however, when i tried to download a movie it was downloading with 50kb but there wasn't many people seeding and when i tried to download something with lots of seeds it went up to 600kb so i think i somehow fixed utorrent. but with ie or firefox i can't get it to working.
when i jump on my 2nd computer which is running win xp pro i can download anything from net with 500+kb but on vista i'm having lots of trouble. also streaming video from sites like Internet etc is extremely slow as well
I think it would be neat to have everyone post up their PC specs and the score which Vista gave you in the perfomance center. Try and follow the same format.
Me:
Specs:
AMD Turion x64
2GB DDR2700
80GB 4800 RPM HD
ATI Radeon Mobile Express w/ 128mb shared
My Score: 2
In a NG, I have joined with a question similar to that of the OP. I wanted to avoid a new thread to prevent that NG of being extended too much, and I expected only one answer. But my question initiated a lot of following postings. So, after all I wish I had made up a new thread. Is it possible to separate all these postings into a separate thread? Or at least to change the content of the subject-line?

View 9 Replies View RelatedWhenever I attempt to sign onto AOL through their software, the entire system crashes. Spyware and Antivirus scans came back negative. I tried using different versions of the AOL software but the crashing still occurred. I did a restore back to a time before the crashes started, did not work. Updated all my drivers, still no success. Everything else works just fine. I can connect to the Internet, surf with IE, download files, no problem.
I finally deleted my broadband connection, deleted the network/lan card using device manager. Restarted the computer, Vista recognizes the Lan card and automatically installs the drivers. I created a brand new connection in the Network center and tried to sign onto AOL; it finally works! Here's the kicker, though. I restart the computer just to make sure everything works and guess what? When I try to sign onto AOL, the computer crashes!
I did not make one single change between the time I successfully logged onto AOL till the time I restarted and it began crashing again. It certainly appears to be something wrong on the networking end of things, I just don't know what. It looks like the AOL software is accessing some network file/setting that then sets off the crash. Is it the card itself, the drivers, some Vista update that didn't install correctly. I am at my wits end. Short of a restore back to the factory install point, I don't know what to do.
I have been using Windows Mail for several months iwth no problems.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI experience the "identifying 'network'" only when I sign on automatically, yet I do have an internet connection and networking works flawlessly; when I sign on manually there's only a very brief instance of it and after that all is normal. After literally spending days on this and trying all sorts of configurations for the router I still can't avoid this issue when I set networking properties to connect automatically.
Got a late model Dell PC/Vista Home Premium 32 which connects with no problems to my AT&T dry loop DSL Siemens 4100 modem which is connected to a new Linksys WRT54GS router which is picked up by an HP laptop/Vista Ultimate 32 with BROADCOM 802.11 b/g network adapter and NVIDIA nforce networking controller. As far as router configuration goes, I have tried the following applicable settings; Automatic Configuration-DHCP, Mixed Wireless Network Mode, Wireless Channel 6, SSID Broadcast as enabled and as disabled, Security Mode as WPA Personal and as WPA2 Personal, WPA Algorithms as AES, TKIP or AES+TKIP respectively. Also I have tried various connection scenarios in Wireless Network properties. Again the bottom line is that while I do have a network and internet connection, I can't sign on automatically without the constant "identifying 'network'" issue and when I sign on manually all is well. Never worked with a router before, Linksys customer support is an absolute trip with no destination and I'm hoping someone here might give me a few clues.
When I am away for work I cannot always sign onto my laptop because it is not connected to my domain, eventually I resolve this by logging on as a local user then switching to a domain user. This appears to work The domain is controlled by Windows 2003 SBS What am I doing wrong?

View 7 Replies View RelatedWhy is it that when I sign-in to my e-mail I don't have the "Photo" facility while my buddy has it. What can I do to get it?
I click the button and nothing. So, before I just put a question in, I went through the Windows Mail Help and Support via Help tab at the top of the Windows Mail tool bar.
Here is what it said:
Follow these steps to sign in to Communities from Windows Mail:.........
I am not able to post a thread on one of the websites that I have added as a trusted site on my computer. I sign in immediately after visiting the site. After that I am asked to sign in again to allow me to post a message. The same screen shows up repeatedly after I put in the same info I used when I started. It doesn't indicate that the password or the name is incorrect. The website was contacted for assistance. Their solution was to delete all temporary internet files which was done, but it didn't help. I am posting my question here because it is a problem with my computer, not their site. It does seem to be a bit strange that since I am signed in that I would have to sign in to post a message on the forum. A bit redundant.

View 4 Replies View Relatedcannot log on to Windows Live messenger at all. We have done disk cleanup, deleted cookies and temp and temp internet files. I can log on to her WLM account from my machine, but all she gets is "Cannot sign you on at this time" messages. So, I though I'd try TeamViewer. Works here on my LAN, works from here to my daughter's machine 150 miles away. When she clicks on the customer exe, she gets a window up saying "No connection to the Internet" and the ID box shows the local IP and no password. I'm stumped as to what might be causing this. She can surf the internet, download files, send emails, etc etc but NOT log onto WLM or use TeamViewer.

EVERY time I open FF and go somewhere. it's not saved. I'm even having to answer secret questions and stuff on my bank. I'm not sure if this is a Vista problem, or a Fire Fox 3 Problem. Maybe I should upgrade to FF 3.3 or whatever there update is. (or it might have automatically).
View 4 Replies View RelatedCPU usage is normal, fluctuates between 0 and 25. The flash is super distracting. I cant figure this one out for the life of me. I don't have any viruses or rogue processes running that I can see. It does not occur in safe mode but still does even when I use game booster (IOBIT program that safely stops many running processes to use cpu power for game being played).

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a Vista 64 OS on an HP m9100z computer. It has an internal card reader. The reader used to work fine. But now (have live update on) the Card reader does not work properly. The reader is detected but with the yellow warning sign. When I plug in a card it does not show up in the drives and the warning sign would still be displayed. Removing the drivers and rebooting did not change the issue. But if I remove the driver and plug in a card and redetect or reboot while the card is in the reader it works properly. Any idea what is happening. The reader is an HP 10 in 1 reader.
