I have Vista Ultimate I have installed UPS softare to manage the shout down of my PC but Windows has blocked it from starting.
When I click on "show blocked programs" the blocked program is shown but when I highlight it, the option to "Allow" is grayed out.
How do I get Windows to allow the program to run, I have tried setting the exe file to "Run as administrator" but it did not work.
Having noticed that some of the automated tasks I had scheduled were not running, I opened Services.msc and looked at Task Scheduler which hadn't started. Selecting properties showed all options greyed out. I can't select Automatic, Manual, Disabled or anything. The contents of all other tabs are also greyed out. All dependencies are running.

They are there, they show up perfectly in the preview pane, I can rightclick and save them individually from the pane. However, in the Save Attachments list the images are listed correctly but greyed out so I cannot do a multiple Save anymore. Any clues to this strange and unwanted behaviour? Is there a way to 'repair' Vista Windows Mail?

I am the only user on my laptop. I accepted the Toshiba settings when I bought the machine, but I realise that there are a number of features that are disabled that (as an administrator) I should be able to use. for example:
1. Windows Defender will show me the details of start-up programs but not allow me to remove/enable/disable anything (the buttons are greyed-out/disabled).
2. There are some folders (e.g. in my internet favourites) which are read-only and when I switch read-only off, it ignores what I've done - they remain read-only.
I have just received my Gateway computer. Hard drive (300 GB) is partitioned into C 290 GB and D 10GB. I want to change that. Using Disk Management I used 'Shrink volume' menu reduce C drive to 180 GB and received 110 GB unallocated space. Now I would like to add that unallocated space to D drive, however "Extend volume' menu on D drive is greyed out.

Something went wrong, and now I've got 30GB stored in three separate partitions that I cannot use. Not only that, but Disk Management now says I have five Primary Partitions. When I right click on these three partitions (which are nameless by the way) the only option that isn't greyed out is "Delete Volume".

I did a search for "x86" on these forums and did not find anything. So, I'd like to ask a few quick question to Brink or anyone else that might know.
This is my first computer with a 64-bit OS (Vista Home Premium). I noticed that there are two separate "Program Files" directories off of root C:
a "Program Files" directory a "Program Files (x86)" directory Is there a difference between the two directories that we should know about?
Also, I've been installing programs to "Program Files (x86)." The programs I've been installing are not necessary 64-bit programs. Should I be installing programs to the "Program Files" directory, instead?
I read the "answer" post about UAC, and was wondering why when I set something to "run as administrator" in it's Properties it does not do so on an Administrator account? On the Guest account I have set up the program runs without asking for any kind of verification or admin password, but it always asks for such when run from the administrator account. What has gone wrong here? Is there some way to make a program "trusted" (like all Microsoft products) so that it doesn't ever need verification for all accounts on a system?
