I've used MS Outlook 2000. There was the "agenda"-f ile directly active when I opens Outlook. So you get directly a message of an appointment. Now I use Windows Mail. There you have to open the "agenda" first to get those reminders. How can I change that?
View 4 RepliesI have a problem that has recently developed in that I am unable to open file
attachments directly from WM. The only way I can open them is to save them to a folder, then open. I get error message saying file cannot be found. This happens with Word and Adobe files.
how I can get a .wps file (MS Works) to open directly in Windows Mail? I have the file association configured and everything works perfectly if I first save the attachment to a folder then double-click it, but it is annoying to have to do this.
A friend had the same problem with .pps files (Power Point) which would not open directly in Windows Mail even though she had the Power Point Viewer installed and a proper file association. There was a a registry edit on the Microsoft site that fixed that nicely and I am hoping that someone knows of something similar for .wps files.

I wanted to connect the XP computer to the Internet but I have DSL so I cant connect it directly.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have noticed that in certain programs (windows mail, dreamweaver, to name but two), the menus in the menu-bar are offset to the right when I open them. They appear not directly below the menu, but below-to-the right of them. Look at the screenshot for details. What can be causing this (it doesn't happen in every program, that is the weird thing about it)
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a persistant re occuring problem over the past couple of weeks.
Every few days i try to open various emails via the paperclip with attchments such as .jpg files and the window opens up " Windows cannot find"xxxxxxxx.jpg". Kake sure you have typed the name correctly and then try again."
I can only open them if i save the attachment this happens to all emails in my inbox.
I have cured this in the past by doing a system restore going back a couple of days and things are good for 2 or 3 days then the same thing happens.
I'm hoping this isn't a repeat of an existing thread - I couldn't find any directly-related info. I have an HP Pavillion running Vista Home Premium 32 bit. I thought I had a virus and I ordered the recovery disks from HP. The laptop was working somewhat but sometimes would only run in Safe Mode. The problem seemed to be a failing hard drive. I replaced the hard drive yesterday. The system recognized the drive and the quick test and comprehensive test both passed.
I reinstalled from the recovery CD and it seemed to go through all the steps. At the final self reboot, the screen eventually goes black (lit, but black) with the mouse cursor. I then get a message: Windows could not complete the installation. to install windows on this computer, restart the installation. HP support says it could be the motherboard. Are there any other things I could try before taking in for service? Is there any other way to do a truly 'clean' install?
I have a Asus K8V-MX/S motherboard and it is nearly impossible to find bios updates for it with an old 20 gb ide hdd and a new tb samsung sata hdd. Currently the 20 gb has my vista home premium on it and is close to being full and I can't load in additional programs like office etc.. I have been not been able to load vista directly to the sata because vista won't recognize the drive because it is attached to a sata pci controller because my mb can't find the hdd either.
I have tried several cloning programs to get the vista cloned on to the new sata but that has turned out to be unsuccessful. I remember one program, XXClone, telling me that ntldr and netdetect.com files couldn't be found to make it bootable. What options do I have at this point?
Is there any reason for me to install a program to the other program files, or is it there just to provide stability? Im trying to figure these 2 out, and really I would perfer to only have 1 program files, just so I dont get them confused. Is there any way to have every program I install go directly to (86), and eventually just uninstall and delete everything in the original program files?

1: I can no longer activate an URL received in an incoming email directly but must copy the URL to the address bar in my Internet Explorer. This makes sense and I can live with that.
2: I discover that I can no longer open some of my word documents "created in an earlier version of Microsoft Office". The message refers to registry policy settings and the help system refers to a Microsoft knowledge base article 922850 that leads me nowhere useful.
I recieved my new hard drive in the mail today and so excited I switched out my 250gb for my new 750gb without reformating or anything. So, now I am not sure what to do because it says my activation key is still active from my other hdd. Oh and if it helps I went from 32bit on 250 to 64bit on the 750. I bought Vista Ultimate in 2007, so I have the RTM version of it.

I have a network with two computers, one with XP and the other one with Vista Ultimate. Both computers are wired to a Lynksys router. Before the Vista installation, I had no problem. Now, when I boot and try to go on the net, I got an error message "There is more than one active network connection on this computer."
Th only but cumbersome solution I found was to go in "Network ans sharing Center" where there was not only my private network but also an "unindentified public network". I had to disable the local connection for it then go to diagnose and repair in order to reinstall the local area connection. After that, everything is fine ... until the next reboot.
I've been trying to download some templates from the Window Vista web site and I keep getting the message that either I don't have Office 2003 (which I do) or that I don't have Active X. I've gone to different web sites and each has something for me to download, but I don't want to download the wrong thing. I seem to remember months ago trying to do something with Active X, but the little blurb at the top of my screen flashed so fast I couldn't read what it said. Do I need Active X?

My interest in Vista Speech is limited to finding out why I am having trouble getting _consistent_ speed/accuracy out of it. By accuracy I mean at least 98%, preferably 99%. By speed I mean at least 80 wpm. (plain everyday words, not technical words)
I normally speak at 160 wpm, so if I speak for two minutes, 320 words get changed to text. Of the 320 words, I expect 3 words to need correction, which takes another two minutes for me to do. 320 / 4 = 80 wpm on average...........

Running Vista Home Prem 32bit Normally when working with Windows when you do something that opens a new Window, that new Window opens in the forefront. However that is not so in my case, the new Window opens behind and at times I don't even know the new Window has opened because it is behind and hidden from view. Is there a setting that you set to make the new Window open in front of all others?

View 9 Replies View RelatedUsing Vista Home Premium, tried Kubuntu. I removed Kubuntu but can't seem to reclaim the partion it was on. I go to Vista Disk Management and find 4 partitions on Disk 0: Recovery (D 4.12 GB Fat 32 Healthy Primary Partition This is the Recovery partition from Gateway.(C 183.14 GB NTFS Healthy (System, Boot, Page File, Active Crash Dump, Primary Parition) 185.34 GB Free Space no further info on this space I want to reclaim the 185.34 g back into the C partition. the only option I get on the Free Space drive is to delete drive or "new simple Volume". C: drive i get only the shrink option.
Deleting the drive won't help and I'm not sure what Simple volume does. The C: Drive has the option to Shrink but thats not going to work either! I tried repairing the problem using the Vista Setup disk but that didn't help either. I still have the Kubuntu disk not sure if there is anything there that would be helpful? I'm thinking i'll need something like Partition Magic, is there a free version of this type of software? I don't plan on doing anything with partitions after this so there is no sense in buy a product.
