Windows Vista has many new icon sizes. Using a simple mouse scroll wheel trick that was primarily used in Internet Explorer to change the text size for years, it is now possible to change the icon sizes of almost any window you are in, including the desktop.
While on your desktop, hold down the CTRL key and scroll your mouse up for larger and down for smaller icons. You can make your icons very small or extremely large as shown in the two examples below.....

View 3 Replies View RelatedIm using a HP Pavilion dv9700 notebook with vista 32bit OS installed. Note that when i did the following i was not connected to the internet: The problem only recently occured after i attempted ot remove Norton security centre from my computer. That uninstalled fine. I also installed tunup utilities 2009 and did a reboot. On reboot the Windows loading bar froze. This kept happening every time a did a restart. So i decided to do a system restore to resolve that problem. That resolved the freezing issue and i figured that i would have to remove internet security again and so tried to unistall it again only for it to say "The system cannot find the path specified." So Norton is now corrupt and i cant run it or uninstall it. But i decided to run registry scans and cleaned up the computer with Tuneup.
After i took the laptop back to where i can use the internet. I plugged in the Lan cable and tried to run firefox but it didnt connect. The only connection i can get is local only access. I live in University halls and i should be on the internet when i plug in the LAN cable. I have since tried a system restore to restore back to a couple of days ago but its no use. I still have the same problem. No internet and no chance of uninstalling Internet security for good. As my LAN network driver is Nvidia netwroking controller I can only assume that its the nvidia controller that is the problem. Even though windows claims there is nothing wrong with it. I have tried uninstalling the driver, but when i confirm it just closes the dialoge box and doesnt uninstall it at all. I cant rollback the driver as its not an option and although i downloaded an older version of the driver and installed it (it said that it installed?), it has no overrun the more up to date driver. I have been trying to fix this for around 6 hours now & its vital that i get back online with the computer as i have assignments due in for tuesday. (im using some one elses computer at the moment)

View 9 Replies View RelatedMy "ulstata.sys" driver got corrupted and had to completely rebuild the boot options. On doing that I am now back to the original SP2 Boot Screen and am not able to change it back to my custom image via TuneUp Utilities. I'm kind of guessing one of the "winload.exe.mui" file isn't allowing the change.
"C:WindowsSystem32Booten-US" has only "winresume.exe.mui" `whereas
"C:WindowsSystem32en-US" has both?
I've tried copying the loadfile in System32/en-US but it's not letting me paste in the System32/Boot/en-US due to some folder protectioin. although i've taken full control. Tuneup Utilities is ssaying it's applied the boot screen but vista is still loading the SP2 boot screen.
So far I tried 5 different delete utilities and nothing worked without a reboot! This Vista64 is a PITA when it comes to locked files. Anyone having any luck with an Unlocker clone that works in 64 bit?

View 4 Replies View RelatedMy PC came with Vista Home Premium 32bit. Since SP1 was released, I've tried several times to install it both through Windows Update and manually but it always fails.I looked at the information in the nowledgebase article about the error message I was getting and it suggested running a system scan utility through the command line interface which I did. The utility said that it fixed some files but I had corrupted files that it was not able to repair.I went out and bought an upgrade version of Vista Home Premium that contained SP1 thinking I could just upgrade it as a workaround. No dice,the upgrade option is disabled unless you already have SP1 installed. It will only let me do a clean install.This brings me to my first question. If I do the clean install, it's going to format my HD right? I'll have to reinstall all my software? My second question is, does anybody know how I can get SP1 to install on my current installation? Any way to find and repair those supposedly corrupt files?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI had been running Vista since it came out last year with no compatible issues at all. However, there were several issues with performance and finally late last year I gave up and went back to XP. Now that the SP1 is available, I want to go back and install Vista, but for some reason, my computer won't recognize the disc. It trys, but just can't load it. I've tried other DVDs and have burned a couple and they all work fine. For whatever reason, the problem is with the Vista DVD.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI just found these forums and now hope that you may be able to help me out with a very perculiar problem I'm having.I use Windows Vista, and have done so without any major problem. That is, until now.Whenever I try to install a software from a CD/DvD or a downloaded file, it will give me an error. If I use a downloaded setup program, it tells me the file is corrupt. It does so with every file, even ones I've had no problems with before. The same happens when I try to install through my DvD Drive. It tells me that it cannot read the installation right away.This problem occured only a week ago, when my hard drive suddenly went defect. I turned off my computer and went away from a good six hours, came back, and then my hard drive had apparently died in the meantime. I sent it to get it repaired, and it was determined that the hard drive was defect, and they had given me a new one. Alright, awesome. I install Windows Vista without problems (except some error I can't remember when it tried to update Vista during the installation, That is when I got the before-mentioned problem about installing software. I had no issues installing the drivers needed for my motherboard's network card. But anything else turns out to give me some kind of error.I have never seen anything like this, and cannot possibly begin to determine what's wrong. It happened also when I put in a different hard drive as the boot device before I sent the computer in to be repaired, so I'm quite positive that it's the machine, and not Windows Vista. I somehow suspect my motherboard to have been affected by the hard drive that suddenly went defect.

When I boot from the DVD drive with the Vista DVD in it it starts the installation but the product key I have only allows for an upgrade and tells me I have to launch it from my current operating system. I am tearing my hair out at this stage.
