Minimized Tabs On Taskbar Wrong Side?
Jun 22, 2008I turn on my computer today, and all of a sudden the minimized tabs for the programs I'm using are on the wrong side of the taskbar. They're on the right side, near the clock, rather than the left side by the start menu. They are also so small that I cannot read them, and if I have more than two they don't show up. I know it's a minor problem, but it's really annoying to me, and I can't figure out how to make them go to the way they were before.

Oct 30, 2008I have my desktop set up so that the sidebar is on the left side of the screen, simply because I like it better that way, but now whenever I install a new program or download a file from online, which downloads to my desktop, it always appears under the sidebar. Is there any way to make new icons default to the right side of the desktop instead of the left?

Aug 11, 2008new to the forum... I recently tried to click on my " recently changed" link on the left side of my documents screen, and got this messege, " The item " recently changed.search-ms" that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this short cut will no longer work properly. Do you wish to delete this short cut?" I dont remember deleteing it, and was wondering if anyones seen this before. I'm not really sure if I need this shortcut, but was just wondering if I messed something up inadvertantly. I just recently added a 1TB HDD, but I dont think that had anything to do with the missing shortcut. I have a tendency to do a "delete sweep" in what I thought were like the old temp files...didnt realize this was a shortcut to actual files. Should I try to get the reently changed short cut working again?

Apr 15, 2009My problem is this: I am running Windows Vista 64 bit on an ASUS laptop and, after some "experimenting" with binding EXE's on XP and moving them over to Vista, I started receiving the dreaded error message "This program has failed to start because it's side by side configuration is incorrect". Now, I'm no noob when it comes to computers. But I have tried everything I can think of to resolve this problem. THe most common solution I have found is to install the Visual C++ Redistributable, thing is. When I run the installation EXE, the same error appears. I have attempted running in safe mode, system restore, and all the usual options, and every thread with this same problem is often ignored, therefore I have not been able to find a solution.

View 5 Replies View RelatedApplications Hidden By Taskbar At Top Of Screen
Mar 24, 2009I have gotten used to keeping my Windows task bar at the top of the screen instead of the bottom. I find this more convenient because itis like the menus and is a shorter reach than when at the bottom. However, there are some applications that open at their old window coordinates, but goof it up by not "knowing" the task bar is using the top of the screen. It is as if the apps remember where they were in "visible" screen oordinates and then restore their location in full screen coordinates.
So the apps end up above the visible screen and have to be moved back by using the keyboard since the window controls are off screen. If the app is opened and closed a few times without bringing it back into the visible screen, the entire window can end up off screen. You would think that of all apps, MS apps would not have this bug. But Visio 2003 seems to have it.
Side Bar
May 8, 2008A very small problem compared to some of you here but........
I think the side bar is great - nice feature BUT why does it keep
disappearing on my computer?
It is there on the desktop when I first switch on computer and then when I
open 3-4 windows and then click on the desk top icon and go back to
desktop - it has disappeared!
And yet if I minimize the windows and go back to desktop this way - there it
is!
If the window I am using is not full screen - I can see it - and yet if I
click on desk top to go back to desk top
Side Bar Out Of Control
Jun 6, 2009When I bring up a news group, it runs out of control with the sidebar running all the way to the bottom. And I can't bring it back to the top. The only way I can do this is to unplug my USB plug which controls the mouse. Once I do that I can pull the sidebar back up to the top just perfectly, by using the mouse pad on the laptop. If I plug the usb plug back in (for the mouse) the sidebar crashes to the bottom of the screen. I am using a M1710 Dell Laptop. It works great but this problem of the sidebar running out of control while the usb mouse is in use, is a new one. At the same time the screen saver won't work either.

Dec 27, 2007My mother board is an abit IP35 Pro. And for speakers I have Creative Inspire P7800. Coming out of the sub are all the outputs for center, sub, left & right (front, side and rear). The output cords that came with the speakers don't fully match the input for the onboard sound card. I really don't want to spend $70+ on a sound card. Seems the onboad sound is rather descent. Sound I spend the $20-30 to get the cords that are missing. Seems that cords supplied with the speakers have 4 leads coming out of the sub and then they combine something into 3 leads going into the sound card. Now when I go to mess around with the sound within windows I can't get anything to be produced out of the side speakers.

View 8 Replies View RelatedSide Bar Requests Server Permission
Jun 16, 2008I have only the sticky notes and the weather gadget running on my sidebar. Why does the side bar need to act as a server? I understand the side bar needing internet access to update the weather, but not why it would need to act as a server. I deny the request, which the side bar first asks for in the internet zone and when that is denied it requests to act as server in the trusted zone. I deny that also. The weather gadget still updates without the permission to act as server. The weather forecast is by Foreca but there is no other info or about that I can find on the gadget.
View 6 Replies View RelatedMouse Pointer Moves To Side And Stays There
Aug 2, 2009Back in the days I had time to be a Windows MVP, there were a lot of
questions I knew how to answer, but this wasn't one of them.
We have a Vista machine running Vista Ultimate. It is a Toshiba Tecra.
Within a few minutes of booting up, even in safe mode, the mouse pointer
drifts to one side, usually the right, and stays there. If you leave the
machine alone for a while, the issue goes away, but the moment a user starts
doing anything, the mouse becomes unusable in this way. I have tried exiting
all applications, and meticulously exiting every service whose function I
know is not a core Windows function, without avail. Windows Defender has not
found an issue.
How To Bypass Firewall On Side For Remote Connection...
Feb 25, 2009i need a way to connect to my home computer from school but the firewall is restricting incoming connections from RDC so i cant get any feedback. I have admin access (dont ask) and have disabled the local firewall but it still blocks the connection so the firewall on the server must be blocking it. Is there software I could install like logmein which would let me do it but doesn't need a webpage to use (logmein.com) and doesn't get stopped by a firewall?
View 8 Replies View RelatedTuniq Tower Side Panel Never Remove
Nov 11, 2008I'm panicking a bit. I just received my Tuniq Tower 120 today and it is enormous- it's 153mm deep. I have a new Cosmos S case, also enormous, but it has a 200mm cooling fan on the side panel which protrudes a bit into the case. Looking at it it seems touch and go as to whether it will fit in the case and let me put the side panel on. To fit it I have to remove the mobo etc so I'm wondering if anyone knows for certain whether it will fit or not. Also, if it won't fit I'll have to return it so I don't intend even getting it out of the packaging until I can get some solid advice.

Mar 23, 2008This is a list of Windows Vista User Interface (UI) Bugs we need resolved before upgrading from Windows XP. I have also added a list of Flaws I think are important (before I use windows Vista personally). These were found within the space of 3 hours when I first used Windows Vista, and had to customise it.
1. CRITICAL BUG: When untick; Start Menu Properties ??? Keep the taskbar on top of other windows, windows do not always go in front of task bar ??? this makes this customisation function useless as there are times when you will be working on a document and the text you are typing in is not visible as the taskbar lies on top.
2. BUG: task bar dragged from RH side to bottom, task bar no longer dragable (workaround: have to lock and unlock taskbar)
3. BUG: Start Menu - clicking 'favourites', then clicking 'recent items' stops showing content. (workaround: need to close and reopen start menu to fix this. This bug assumes favorites menu has been made visible on the start menu......

View 4 Replies View RelatedTaskBar Is Hidden Behind IE
Jan 4, 2009(i'm running vista 32bit SP1, i hope its not too out of place to ask a question in a 64bit forum)
this looks like the closest i've found to a forum w/ my prob.
essentially i backed up my HD on an external (western digital) using "second backup" as the backup software.
i noticed after backing up that all my folder icons (favorites, contacts, music, pictures, etc...) reverted to the generic yellow folder.
i was able to change one or two (and only those in the shortcuts in "favorite links" heading of a windows explorer window) by right click -> properties -> change icon but all the folders (in their actual location eg. c:users"username") remain the ugly yellow folder.
changing them one by one seems inefficient and if annoying if it were to occur again.
i've done the right-click on destop -> personalize -> change desktop icon -> restore default, no result (tho i didnt really expect one since the desktop icons arent really the issue)
i've rebuilt the icon cache, no luck.
i've re-written the desktop.ini for a couple of them, no result (tho i didnt really expect one)
system restore isn't an option, i dont have an old enough restore point (hense the need for backing up).
i'm wondering of a systemic way to essentially restore the default icons for all these folders (music, video, downloads, etc...) and their respective shortcuts.
