Synching: Can't Address Directories
May 10, 2008
I want to synch two directories on two external HDs, but when I go to Synch, I can't address (see) the directories. Is there another way to synch directories? I used to use LapLink, but it no longer works with Vista.

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?

About a week or so ago, I decided to upgrade my PC to Windows Vista. I gave it awhile, mostly didn't want to deal with an upgrade and all that. System has been fine on XP for years...why mess with it. But having gotten a new video card, I just wanted to be current on my OS again. As it turns out, I like Vista alot and have had little to no trouble with it. If you look at my system config, nothing is more than a year old at most, so my computer, at least for my needs is still "current." Having tried and like Vista 32bit (Home Premium) I have decided to take the next step into 64bit and that's why I am here. My system is 64 bit compatible, so I figure it's time to take full advantage of it. I have important apps I use for school for 3D that have 64bit versions I've been wanting to try, and I have 2 Gigs of RAM coming today which will make my total 4 and 64bit is the only way I can utilize it all!
I'll probably be doing the format install sometime tonight, which finally brings me to why I posted. In my research of Vista 64, I have read some blurbs about it giving youo 2 program files, Program Files and Program Files x86 (Or something.) I've also read that in some cases it can be important to make sure you install a certain program to the right one. My system has 3 physical Hard drive, that I partitioned in several total for storage, windows, programs, games, and so on. My current Program Files is a 80GB Partition all by itself. It's a different physical drive than Windows is on. Will installing applications to this drive like I have always did cause me any trouble in this new Vista 64 bit I'm about to dive into? My system will definately have a mix of 32bit and 64bit apps, with more by far probably being 32bit. Also while I think to ask, will the Vista 64 install procedure allow me to just wipe the partition my OS is currently on? Or will going to 64 bit require me to wipe the entire physical HDD? The other partitions that share the Windows INstall Partition are just storage so I don't want to format them unless I need to.

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'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?

This has to be the most confusing and difficult set up I've seen.
In VERY simple terms, how do you set up the blasted "server address" in order to send mail? I received all the spam they sent me just fine, but when I try to send mail, I get nothing but error messages about the POP server address.
I looked in these threads, and every answer seems to be using words and terms you need years of computer training to understand. I don't have that training, I'm merely an intelligent person trying to set up my email account.
So how do you enter or correct this stupid business about POP3 servers and so on?
I got the information from my ISP, they gave me two lines,
outgoing mail, (SMTP):SMTP.comcast.net
incoming mail, (POP3):mail.comcast.net
I tried to enter this stuff in the fields, but it still won't work, this whole setup process is VERY complicated and impossible for me to follow.
So can somebody pleae tell me, in simple plain english, what is the exact procedure you use to type in the server addresses for incoming and outgoing mail?

Access to this web server is by invitation only. Your IP address is not permitted access. Please go and find some other place to play. Try this Windows toy, which will keep a Windows user1 amused for hours.
1. a "Windows user" is one who continually gets a 403 error but keeps returning here, hoping for a different result. IE. a total and complete idiot.

I live in a congested area. On one glorious morning my fiddling around with the wifi card allowed me to discover that I was able to access a 54g Wifi (lynksys) Internet connection. My experience with high speed was null so you could imagine my delight. Prior to this I was using "Netzero" which is like being homeless. My Question is- How can I look up the physical Router address that is providing me access? Its important to me because I could be sniped off easily for many reasons and to share the cost with a good neighbor is the moral thing to do. One exception is, if it???s the Hotel near-by.
