I guess the the app files kinda run by themselves when you double click them so it doesn't matter where they are on your computer. I could be wrong though. However what about the ZIP files? I remember once using the Dell resource CD and it would download some of these ZIP files...but they would put them somewhere in my program files folder. That is why I was willing to use the CD more since it would place these files in the correct place (I mean I'm not going to put them on my desktop for instance). So where do I put the ZIP files? There are only ZIP and application files.

My new computer (Vista) is wired to a wireless router. While the router sees all other connections to the network, Vista doesn't recognize ANY computer (1 on XP, 1 a MacBook and 1 a wireless game system). How do I get Vista to recognize the other computers on the network? Previous XP computer saw and allowed sharing without issue, so not a hardware problem I'm thinking, as the new computer/Vista is the only change to the system.
I've found a few issues regarding sleep mode, but none that seemed to directly address my problem, so here goes: In the last two weeks or so, I've noticed that when I close my laptop's lid, the computer doesn't go into sleep mode, but instead hangs with a blank screen, and is completely unresponsive when I try to wake it up. The only way to fix it is to hold the power button to get it to shut off. However, this only seems to happen when my wireless network card (internal) is switched OFF. Even then, it doesn't happen all the time (i.e. sometimes it successfully goes to sleep, and wakes up again when I open the lid). It hasn't been a problem at all when the network card is on.
This started happening in late April, when two things happened (and they both happened at about the same time). First was that Windows Update automatically downloaded and installed a hotfix (946776) related to the computer crashing when the network status is changing. For what it's worth, I had never experienced the problem that the hotfix was supposed to correct. The other thing that happened was that I uninstalled McAfee and installed ZoneAlarm antivirus and firewall. I haven't been able to reproduce the problem 100% of the time, so I haven't figured out what sequence of programs running causes the problem (though it seems that iTunes and/or Windows Media Player is usually running when it happens). The first thing I tried was to use system restore and went back to before I installed zonealarm and the update. When I reinstalled ZA, Windows Update decided it was going to hurry up and download the hotfix before I had a chance to tell it not to. I uninstalled the hotfix (though it still shows up on the update history page, but not the list of installed updates), and the problem still occurred.......
I've just recently encountered a problem connecting to the internet with my notebook and when I check to see what was wrong my computer says I'm not connected to any networks. So when I try to connect my computer doesn't show my wireless network it says a cable is not plugged into the network adapter 'local area connection". However everything is plugged in and my mom's notebook has no problem. Also it says that my computer doesn't have a wireless adapter installed and configured but it does and when I go to the properties it says the device is working properly. I don't know what to do anymore. I've restarted my computer and unplugged and replugged the cable and disabled and enabled the adapter.
I have made multiple attempts to associate my transfered XP *.doc files to winword but it doesn't work. I have tried both from the Vista file window and start program 'deafault program' settings window. The result is either...
1. Winword appears in the program selection window and once selected not in the 'associate program to file' window or ...
2. Wordconverter or Microsoft Office Word don't work.
The built in search version for Vista (I have Vista Business 64 bit)doesn't search pdfs. I have Acrobat version 8.1.2. I read about aproblem on this but the solution was to update.
I have a program which I downloaded free from the web which converts flash ..flv files to .mpg format which Vista can read, and which I can then edit, copy to dvd etc. The program is called flvconverter and I think it uses something called ffmpeg.exe. ??? It works fine for some .flv files, but not others. !!! Has anyone used this program? Why does it not work for all flv files ???
I have an email in my inbox with an attachment. When I open the attachment my text editor reports the following path :UsersMYNAMEAppDataLocalMicrosoftWindowsTemporary Internet FilesContent.IE5JTQYLO9PNathaniel Moore Descendants.txt If I try to open this directly in my text editor (EditPad Lite which stores recently visited documents) it reports that the file cannot be found. I have searched my computer and the search cannot find this document. Windows explorer doesn't even show a Temporary Internet Files subfolder in the Windows folder. Can anyone explain what is going on here? I don't appreciate Microsoft retaining information on my computer that I am unaware of. Can I get rid of this attachment without deleting the email?
My motherboard fried, so I got a new one and put everything back together, but low and behold when I moved I had lost my Vista CD, so I ordered a new one and when I type in the CD key that was on the box I get a message that says that it dosen't match the disk.
I bought windows vista ultimate in may of 2007 to upgrade from XP, it ran fine until feb 2008, when my graphics card failed and i thought my windows messed up, causing me to erase windows, so i had to take it to Data Doctors to get XP back on so i could upgrade to Vista, well now its not letting me activate my windows because my product key is already in use and im using the same key from my Ultimate box!
I am having some problems booting up my PC so I am trying to remove my harddrives and save my files by plugging the drives into another PC...the plugs don't seem to match though..What do I do? Is it possible to get an adapter, or am I doomed?
I have a multi-boot machine on which I cannot map certain folders to which I have access at work. I can map these folders with no problem when I boot to XP or Vista 64 on the same machine (using the same batch file for the net use commands) but I get a system error 53 (network path not found) error when I try to do so using Vista 32. As far as I can tell the network configurations are identical in the Vista 64 and Vista 32 installations.
In Vista 32 I can ping the servers on which the folders reside and I can map other folders in the same domain. How can this be=97and how can I correct it since Vista 32 is my primary working OS?
Well I started a small downloading spree when i got the machine built up and running, and this has me bamboozled. I Use Windows Vista X64 Ultimate edition. After downloading many different albums and such I ran into a problem. Some of them play but most of them don't. I use Windows Media Player for the audio and whenever trying to open up and music through there (or any music player rather) I run into problems.
1: It will have an error pop up first saying that "the file that you are trying to play has an extension (.mp3) that does not match the file format. then it asks if you wish to continue.
2: After clicking Yes, It just says that windows cannot support the file error screen.
I went to the topic at Vista Codec Pack - 32bit & 64bit Media Player Codecs downloaded the 2 different codecs, but still no music.

How do I turn off this messagge?: The password you entered does not match the password stored in windows for this user name. Do you want to change the password store in windows to your new entry?
I updated to a new nvidia display driver and now quite a few of the icon on the desktop do not match the description. For example Outlook 2007 has the Winzip Icon. Some of them I can can by deleteing and then re-creating the shortcut, other I can't. I tried the systems restore feature but it failed. It there some easy way to fix this?
When I click on 'to' in Windows Mail the list of names offered does not match the carefully compliled list in my Contacts folder. The 'to' list includes names I want to remove but cannot see the way to do it and if possible make the two lists the same.
When I turn my computer on, I get the message password or user name do not match. So, click the arrow to bring up accounts. I get Admin account and user account. There is also a second admin account. What is the story with that? Can be removed? When I log out of admin I then only get admin and user account to sign in.
When I R-click on my C:drive in Computer, I see an option labeled "Special Permissions", but it doesn't seem to be available. What are Special Permissions, and if they're important for anything, how do I enable them? Logging on as Administrator produces the same effect. Speaking as a user of Windows since its first release, I find Vista with its UAC, Permissions, and the need to repeatedly confirm every action I tak to be frustrating as hell.
I want to say that all my drivers are updates and windows is updated as well. This is also valid for any other computers on the network. My computer runs vista home premium 64 bit, the other computers on the network run home premium 32 bit. We have a gbit network through a d-link router (dir655) which has never given us any problems. We have the d-link because I couldn't find any other router at the time which supported a glass fibre connection at the speed we have (50 mbit synchronous) and which also offered a 1 gbit home networking solution (wired) while also offering the possibility of using it with the occasional wifi device (such as my archos 605 media player).
my first annoyance has to do with the network. SP1 made it better, but I'm still annoyed. When I copy files from one computer to the other, the file transfer goes at varrying speeds. The transfer speed seems to depend on one thing and one thing only, and that is on whether the other computer is being used at all. If the other computer is idle (so not even the mouse is moved, there is no user input at all), transfer speeds are between 55 and 70 mb per second. Which is good, I like this. When there is any kind of activity on the other computer, whether this is typing, using the mouse or any such thing (user initiated I mean.... a virus scan doesn't seem to affect the transfer speed) the transfer speeds drop down to a max of about 18 mb per second. When any type of media player is on, even when paused, it drops down further to between 13 and 15 mb per second. When that media player is windows media player, the transfer speed is usually a bit lower still.
I simply do not understand why this is. The transfer speeds with no activity at all show that there is a possibility of achieving these speeds... the network is not used when someone moves their mouse, so why can't I use the full extent of the network when someone is using their mouse, or typing something in word? Also, I know that a media player automatically reserves bandwidth for streaming, but going from a max of 70 mb/s to 15 mb/s seems a bit much to me for streaming purposes. I would also have thought that MS could make their media player a bit smarter... I mean, how hard can it be for them to disable the bandwidth reserving when someone is playing a local file?......
I just recently got a new computer installed with the Vista Home Premium x64 OS. After many failed attempts at transferring my old files i eventually ended up putting my old hard drive into my new computer, and attempted to drag and drop into a folder i created specifically for those files. Upon trying to do this, it transferred all of my program files, but when it gets to my actual documents, where i keep my most important files, it says i need administrative permission to do this.
Then, when i tried to access the files directly in my old hard drive, it said that i couldn't do that, and showed this: "You don't currently have permission to access this folder. Click continue to get access to this folder." "You have been denied permision to access this folder. To gain access to this folder you will need to use the security tab." and then when i use the security tab to transfer file permission to me, it still doesn't do anything.
I have just put a new ide dvd-rewriter into my computer and my computer doesn't recognize the new dvd drive or an existing cd drive. I cant see them in 'My Computer' or the 'device manager'. I don't no if this has anything to do with it but at the same time I also installed a new TV tuner into the computer and now I cant run the CD to fully install it.
I'm certain that I screwed up and somehow denied myself access to everything under the C: root. C: and all its files fails to show up when I go to computer. Actually, I'm fairly certain that I did this to myself when, due to my great lack of understanding on how to manipulate permissions, I messed things up while trying to give myself permission to do something with my shortcut to computer. I naively fooled around with properties>security.
I can't modify any files or folders anywhere on my computer. For example, if I create a new folder on my desktop, when I try to rename it the name still stays at 'New Folder' which I can't get rid of. Also I can't encrypt any files or folders. I am the administrator of the computer and there is no other users. I have tried taking full control of the files/folders on the security tab on properties and also using software like 'Unlocker' but nothing seems to work.
I want to transfer all my files ect onto a standby computer, to have a fallback onto the information contained in them. I was under the impression that the necessary software for the transfer and Synchronization was in Vista Windows, but having connected the computers with a transfer cable (which was installed as new hardware on both computers) nothing further happened although I was supposed to get instructions on the Standby computer how to proceed with the transfers.
I cannot play music files on my computer. I have three different media players (iTunes, Napster, and Windows Media Player) and nothing will play on any of them.
After months of diddling in an effort to access shared files on my XP computer from my Vista computer I was finally able to access the files using Windows Explorer after the final reboot after installing SP1. My glee was short lived however because after turning my Vista computer off and then on again I still cannot access the shared files on my XP computer. I can see the XP computer in "Network and Sharing Center" > "View Full Map", but I can't view the shared files by double clicking on the XP computer icon.
Network discovery - on File sharing - on Public folder sharing - on Printer sharing - on
Workgroup is WORKGROUP on both computers I am able to access a shared printer on the XP computer I am able to access the shared files on my XP computer by using Internet Explorer and entering \Computername in the address bar. I am able to access a NAS drive on my network using Windows Explorer.
One day, suddenly, my Windows Media Player told me that i had not added any tracks to my library. This caused me to almost die, since i had many tracks and was afraid that perhaps all of my music files had disappeared from my computer. But i looked in "My Music" folder and they were still there. I went to the add music option in the media player and it still would not add my tracks to the library. I can't figure out why it is doing this, but it is very irritating. I downloaded Itunes and i don't like it nearly as much as media player, so i would like to be able to use media player again. I am also a college student using ruckus and itunes doesn't pick up ruckus files like media player does. Do i have to uninstall media player and install it again?
