Have you ever thought to have such a great feature in Microsoft Office as well? Now there is a nifty add-on, named as OfficeTab that is able to add tab feature in Microsoft Word, Excel & Powerpoint.

I mean seriously now, all I heard prior to release was about these fantastic extras which Ultimate users would be able to install thanks to the Windows Ultimate extras feature under Windows update. Ok now lets count the number of Ultimate Extras released thus far. Left hand up, Bitlocker, Dreamscene, Hold-em poker, hmmmm..... I cant think of any more! Come on Microsoft, you are being ridiculous. If you want people to carry on buying the top of the range product and giving them nothing extra for the huge extra amount of money!
View 9 Replies View RelatedI work in different 3D programs and I have never had this problem before, and it only happens in Vista. When I create an image, my programs create the image, and I can save it with no problem. When I create an animation, the programs need to save the file after it creates each frame. Vista is blocking those programs from doing
this, and I need to have them allowed to create and save these files constantly. I like the security that Vista has, but is there any way to allow just certain programs to do this while keeping that security feature on for everything else?
While reading in Vista's help center it highlights text, it's annoying. Is this a function of "Ease of Access" or something else? How do I turn it off? Using 64bit Win Premium on an HP Pavilion laptop.

The favorite feature about Vista on my opinion is the Aero that it has. It creates a more visual look on the window and makes the graphics look better.
View 5 Replies View RelatedAfter booting up my laptop and reaching the desktop, the right click feature will stop immediately after starting up completely, and clicking on anything is a problem on it's own. The only way I have found to work around it is to Ctrl + Alt + Del and Switch User, then go to the power options and restart, as the conventional way of shutting down does not work. I contacted my laptops manufacturer (ASUS) and they suggested that it could be a touchpad driver problem. So they emailed me the latest driver and I downloaded it. To my surprise, it actually worked..... for about 5 minutes. The right clicking problem still persisted. So I looked into other forums and they suggested a problem with some Context Menu Handlers. I downloaded the suggested program 'ShellExView' and followed the instructions down to the letter on how to use it. Currently, as I'm typing this post, I have had to copy and paste patches of text because when the right click feature stops, the keyboard disengages, and the only workaround is the power button.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI've got a pretty insignificant, but weird bug: the highly hyped, hardly useful 3d flip feature of Vista has just magically disapeared from my comp. Only thing I know I've done was installing the latest x64 security update (KB958644) just before this. The icon is still there, but it just brings up the old school blue box version, and winKey-tab no longer does anything. Anybody heard of an update removing this feature, or know where the mysterious 'flip' files are actually located?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI think as far back as win95 if you used windows explorer with status bar enabled (for vista this is called details plane) if you select a folder (in the navigation plane) in the status bar it would list the total number of items AND the total file size for all the files in the selected folder. Vista seems to have lost this feature and only the total amount of items are listed.
I'm a programmer so this feature has proved useful for me in certian cases. the workaround is to select all files but still why remove it from the unselected view? I can also detail out 4 other annoyances with the new explorer if MS would like more details shoot me an email.
1. Decending Sort in list mode kicks all the folders to the end of the file listing unlike previous versions of windows where the folders were sorted but stayed at the begining of the listing (should make this an option for what method the user would like to use).................
Is there some new feature in windows vista which allocates hard drive space? I installed vista and windows updates (19Gb just for drivers, updates, and vista ultimate). Here is all that I have installed, now look at how much space is gone. Can anyone tell me how to fix this?
after weeks of fighting, troubleshooting, debugging, deleting, reloading, uninstalling, installing etc etc etc. I have finally come to the conclusion, that being able to print, is simply no longer a feature with windows operating system. Unless someone can tell me a fix that no one has discovered yet. I refuse to believe that the fix to our printing problems, is throw out the PC and get a new one. If thats the case i'm sure that there will be many people like myself who make the leap to MAC!
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have been trying to dowload programmes from the BBC iplayer site but first it tries to install Adobe AIR. This fails, giving a meaningless Windows message stating that the installer has stopped working. I can't get the Manage Attachments feature to work so I can't upload images of the error messages. I have an administrator account.
Following instruction, I downloaded AIR directly from the Adobe site and found that it still wouldn't install on my account. It asks me twice if I want to run the installation exe file but from two different locations which is weird. Once again I can't upload an image for some reason but the first Open File dialogue box has: Name: ...mon Gail_BecxDesktopAdobeAIRInstaller.exe Publisher: Adobe Systems Incorporated............

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have had problems with Vista not sleeping before and had fixed the issue however, i installed a new video card yesterday and now my PC won't sleep again!
I press sleep it goes to sleep, then 2 seconds later it kicks back in and loads up again! The only thing i have changed since it was working was the video card (Geforce 8600GT).
I have done all the standard changes to keyboard/mouse, network adaptor, media sharing etc etc but still no joy!
I've had Vista Home Premium on a new desktop PC for about 6 weeks now. Instead of shutting down most of the time I have set it to sleep. In "Sleep" the fan does not stop running and I doubt the hard drive stops spinning, the light in the front of the computer does not flash but stays on, the keyboard light stays on and the only effect "Sleep" seems to have is make me have toreenter my password. When I do that "wakeup" there is no sound change and I don't think my PC has ever really slept. I've tried all the configurations in Power Options. I have no option to hibernate.
