Intermittently Switching Between Active Application And Desktop
Dec 4, 2009A few days ago i noticed that i would be in a game or watching a movie and vista would switch/crash back to desktop out of whatever i was doing. I then click on the window/application on the taskbar to reenter it and i can resume either the game or video no problem. was wondering if maybe a third party application like abobe could be causeing this? i updated the video driver still does it. i changed performance for Visual effects still does it. i checked all programs in the firewall exceptions and other settings still does it.

Aug 21, 2009After having some difficulty with "the black screen of death" and coming to the realization that my CA anti-virus wasn't picking up the bug that was causing my problems, I've switched to Norton 360 and eliminated the virus that was giving me fits. However, now that I've got my desktop back and things seem to be (a bit more) back to normal, I can't open my task manager or get into my disk manager or registry editor. The task manager just simply won't show up as an option and opening mmc/regedit just brings up the notepad.

Feb 12, 2009If you right-click on the taskbar, you can get to the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties dialog and change various settings.

I've looked through the registry and haven't found where they are stored.

Dec 12, 2006Would you like to use the registry to set the color of aero glass on your PC? The registry setting requires an ARGB (Alpha, Red, Green, Blue) hex string for this setting. This is not very easy to create on your own so I wrote a simple decimal to hex converter below that will automatically convert the values and generate the setting value for you. Follow these steps to get started:

Apr 8, 2008Does anyone else feel they were robbed by purchasing Windows Vista Ultimate? 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 RelatedSaving Animations And Security Feature
Jun 17, 2008I 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?

View 5 Replies View RelatedRight Click Feature Stop After Starting Up
Dec 5, 2009After 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.

The icon is still there, but it just brings up the old school blue box version, and winKey-tab no longer does anything.
