After I moved all of the stuff from my old house, I brought my old XP computer and put in my room. My Vista is in the living room. I wanted to connect the XP computer to the Internet but I have DSL so I cant connect it directly. I borrowed a Linksys WRT54G ver. 6 from my friend and I was wondering if I could find a way to use Tomato on it.

I 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)

I 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 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.

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?

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.

Back in Windows XP if you were not on a domain CTRL + ALT +DEL would open up Task Manager. In Windows Vista that key combination opens the secure desktop that allows you to do many more thing. To directly to Task Manager, hit CTRL + SHIFT + ESC.

I am trying to copy files from my usb hard drive: K: to my network external drive Z:
I am trying to copy everything from one to another (files in folders and files that are not in folders)
I tried selecting all and then send to Z:, but it took about six hours to copy about 20 gig (I have about 180 gig to copy)
I read some where that robocopy is a faster and better way to copy files.The thing is I do not know what syntax to use. I was wondering if someone could tell me the syntax I should use to copy EVERYTHING from the usb driveK: to the network drive Z:

Recently some default security policies has been changed on my Vista, apparently as the result of upgrades to my system.
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.

My old Windows XP PC died months ago (motherboard problems) and so I took out the hard drive (which still functions fine) and put it in my new PC, but I can't seem to copy any of my files in the My Documents folder from the old drive to my newer larger drive. I've had this drive in here for the last several months and have had no problems writing other files to this 'older' drive (250 gig Maxtor 16mb cache, 7,200RPM drive (btw it's only a year old), but when I try to copy files to another drive I get the following error message: "You'll need to provide administrator permission to copy to this file." This only happens with files that are in the My Documents folder. My current login has administrator rights, so I'm thinking some how this has something to do with this drive being from a different computer's installation of XP.

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?

Is it feasible to migrate to Windows 7 directly from Windows XP?
OR
Is the intermediate migration to Vista essential because the upgrade option to Windows 7 is available only from Vista and NOT from XP?

So I just got a new computer, a HP Pavilion running Vista, and I have a older hard drive that I want to copy data from. The hard drive came from a system running XP. It's a older hard drive, a Seagate 80 gig IDE connector hard drive, so I went out and bought a external hard drive device bay -- you just put the hard drive into it and then plug it into a USB port on my computer. If I plug it in, all that happens is every 10 seconds I get a pop up a message saying: "You need to format the disk in Drive J before you can use it. Do you want to format it?" Of course I don't want to format it, I'd lose the data I'm trying to copy! If I click cancel it just keeps bugging me about it and I can't access the HD.

I have a livensed version of Office 2007 Home and Student. I would like to burn a copy of the setup DVD to send to my son in an other town. Is that possible? And if so how?
I'd assume it to be legal as it can be installed on 3 computers.

Having a new PC with Vista Business edition, 2gb ram, dual core 2mhz, I connected to my wireless LAN & found that file copy / transfers were appallingly slow. So much so that I had to use an external usb drive.
The same process is of no problem on my WinXp & Win2k PC's.
Am I missing something? other than that I dont seem to have any other
performance issues
(I have checked updates)

as you can see by the headline, i am having trouble with copying files to my mp3 player. I have done a search on this forum and found that someone last year had the same problem, but the problem wasn't solved for that person, so i thought to start a new thread. My problem started a couple of days ago, up until then everything was fine, i could copy files to my mp3 player with no problems, sometimes i would've got the messge 'Are you sure you want to copy this file without it's properties?', i'd press yes and it would copy the files ok. But now the same message comes up, and it doesnt copy the properties. I actually tried playing my mp3 player and it crashes (restarts), until i remove the file that doesnt have the properties. I know my drive is supposed to support NTFS, my mp3 player is fat32 format and it did copy files for me up until a few days ago.

I have been using remote desktop to have access to our company server. I
work away from the office but access letters and other information from our
server. I usually copy and paste letters from remote desktop into my email
(been doing it for last 2 years) and send information to my clients. NOW no
go! I am terribly frustrated that I can't do this anymore as it has
extremely added time on to a schedule that can't afford to spend a lot of
time on this. Please ...... I need a fix for this problem before I huck my
computer out the window! PS this started last week. Months after I had
installed Windows Live (which I don't use anyway).

I need to install SR2 for Access 97 on Vista - Home Basic. While Access 97installs fine, there's a known problem installing SR2 on Vista. Theworkaround that I've come across involves temporarily replacing four Vistafonts (comic.ttf, comicbd.ttf, tahoma.ttf, and tahomabd.ttf) with thoseversions which come with SR2. This reportedly allows SR2 to be installed,after which the four Vista fonts are copied back to the Windows/Fontsfolder.
This procedure begins with copying those four Vista fonts to a temporaryfolder. I am unable to do this, however. If I use cntrl-c to copy andcntrl-v to paste, nothing is pasted into the temporary folder. If I right-click on the font, the Copy command is not available. If I use Edit/Copy and Edit/Paste, nothing is pasted into the temporary folder. Vista will not allow full privileges for these fonts, even though I'm signed on as Administrator.

I have a laptop, which came with vista x86 home premium. However, the laptop didn't come with a copy of the OS. It came with an imaging program from which I made an image of the bloatware infested drive. That backup...is damaged. There is a legitimate home premium x86 license associated with the comp, but I do not have a way to reinstall my OS. What I read on a different forum, was that any copy of x86 home premium would do...But I need to download a copy of it to install. I'm not interested in a cracked version of the OS...just an ISO image of a legitimate copy of hp x86. I don't want to buy a new version of the OS...a nominal fee would be ok, but not a whole OEM edition.

I've recently upgraded one machine from XP Pro to Vista Business 32-bit, and the other is a brand new laptop with Vista Home Premium x64. Both exhibit the following problem. or is it just me? The setup: On media you can write protect (i.e., a flash drive) make a copy of mfc71.dll (usually found in Windowssystem32... other MFC DLLs seem to have the same effect but try this one if you have it). Now, remove the media, write-protect it and re-insert it. Attempt to copy that DLL from the media to your desktop (NOT in Windows or other highly protected areas). Attempt to read the properties page of the DLL as it sits on the media: doesn't work.
Can someone explain why one cannot copy or even read the properties of such DLLs? I can see if it's replacing something bad or such, but simple copying is disallowed if the DLL is on write-protected media. What's up with that? And how might one get that to work normally? I've never seen anything quite like it. Why does this matter? Because it causes MAJOR problems when comparing backup media that uses an emulation layer to emulate a drive (e.g., TrueCrypt). In the example above it just doesn't work. in something like TrueCrypt (within a write-protected volume) it locks Explorer up quite thoroughly, requiring a reboot. I presume that's a failure of TrueCrypt but still, what the heck is Vista doing here?

I have a Toshiba Satelite (T2400) A105-S4134 laptop with 1.99 GB of Ram and I have never been able to highlight photos and copy them to a cd. Media Center Edition 2002. My cd drive and dvd drive are the same. I have never made a dvd either. I can copy to my memory sticks just fine. I am wondering if I have to set up my cd drive before I can use it? I have been able to make music cds, just can't copy photos. I am working with windows XP system and I bought my computer in Nov 2006. This is my first post. I have never had trouble doing this function with any of my other desktop computers. And where do I find my vista specs? I just guessed what mine was, it was not under system properties in my Control Panel.

I know this is very basic, but I seem to have forgotten how to do it. I have never been able to copy and paste and address or anything because: when I select something I want to copy, then I click edit, or copy, or I click where I want to paste it, or I click anything else; it unselects what I have selected. So, if something is not selected you can't do anything with it, but if you click what you want to do with it- it is no longer selected??
