SP2 Comments?
Jun 1, 2009Well, I haven't seen any SP2 comments, so.
I've applied SP2 to Server 2008 and Vista machines. Installation went smooth. Results for me were good with better reliability and speed. In combination with IE8, even better reliability and speed.
Unable To Give Objective Advice And Generally Color Their Comments To Favor Microsoft Decisions
Jun 3, 2008The main problem with ALL Microsoft "support" groups is they are infested with way too many Microsoft butt kissers (ie MVP's) that simply seem unable to give objective advice and generally color their comments to favor Microsoft decisions no matter what. I find it amusing, but also misleading, harmful and counterproductive. :-)
The reality is Vista follows a long line of previous Windows releases that also were buggy, not tested well enough under real world conditions, is overpriced, lacks imagination, contains flawed, crippled or broken features, removes items that were hinted at being included in beta releases or shifts wanted features to the most expensive version and perhaps the worse thing, leaves bugs that were reported in earlier versions of Windows with Vista adding many new ones.
In other words, typical Microsoft software. Overpriced, not thoroughly tested, not ready for prime time and sure to frustrate millions with useless things like UAC that mostly gets in the way rather then helping or offering any real security. Add in a useless Vista Upgrade Advisor that lulls users into falsely thinking their system is ready to have Vista installed when it often crashes in a BSOD due to driver issues the Advisor claimed "shouldn't" be a problem, yes, it is fair to label Vista as a disaster. Is there such a thing as a Quality Control Department at Microsoft?
Folders Column Disappears...
Jun 26, 2009I helped a friend select and install a new desktop w/Vista Home Premium. I set up Windows Mail to replace her Outlook Express she had used on her old XP desktop. Whenever she shuts down her computer, the folders column on the left goes away. She has to do View, Layout, Folder List to get it back. It stays there on subsequent uses of Windows Mail until the next time she shuts down. I'm going to suggest she Hibernate, not Shut Down, until I find a fix for her.

Mar 23, 2008I need to change the display filename colors in Vista Windows Explorer similar to the MAC O/S Feature. This question does NOT deal with Encrypted Files or Compressed Files. I simply want to change the display names of the files to colors such as BLUE, GREY, etc., just like I can do on the MAC O/S for the past 5 years.
I do NOT want to use any third party software file managers. There must be a way to do it in Windows since APPLE has been doing it for 60 months now. I can't believe that Windows STILL Cannot perform this simple task! If you have a working solution using Windows Explorer please email me and let me know.
Internet Explorer 8 In Vista Causes Windows Explorer
Mar 21, 2009I wasn't quite sure if IE8 was the culprit, but it became apparent once I removed it. Internet Explorer 8 interferes with the functionality in Windows Explorer for Vista. Say for example: With IE8 installed, open up "Computer". Close it, then open it again. It should be instantaneous. But its not. A window will take over to 10 seconds to show its initial contents. Once its open though, its very fast because the instance is already running. But once it closes it will take another 10 seconds to open again. Internet Explorer 8 itself opens up very slowly even after the first opening. Can any Vista users verify this?
1. Install IE8
2. Go: Start > click Computer
3. Close that Window.
4. Repeat step 2.
Is it an instantaneous opening or does the window take more than 5 seconds to populate? Repeat those steps with opening Internet Explorer. Is it the same? If so, welcome to the club. Does Microsoft have any way to report this bug to developers?
How Get Column Headings In "Search "?
Jun 9, 2008Sometimes a Search will produce results with column headings "name", "date taken", "size" and "folder". Sometimes it will produce other headings as well or instead. And sometimes it will produce results that only give one column heading... "name". What is going on and how can I get it to display only the column headings of "name", "date", "size" and "folder"?

View 8 Replies View RelatedInternet Explorer Has Stopped Working, Windows Explorer Has Stopped Working
Jul 6, 2008By now it should be obvious that, under the Vista operating system, I have Home Premium, there is a severe overall, general "has stopped working" problem.
Thus far I've experienced:
"Internet Explorer has stopped working"
"Windows Explorer has stopped working"
"Word has stopped working"
"Sherlock Holmes Nemesis (Adventure Company) has stopped working"
"Outlook has stopped working"
"Acid 4.0 (Sony) has stopped working"
"Acid 6.0 (Sony) has stopped working"
"Sound Forge (Sony) has stopped working"
Is it not obvious by now that Vista has a problem, maybe a compatability problem, with everything from Internet Explorer and Microsoft Word to third party programs which cause programs, as I mentioned, even programs made by Microsoft, to "stop working"? Is there no an overall "stopped working" patch or something that Microsoft has released by now?...............

Windows Explorer Crashes
Apr 28, 2008why shouldn't they feel that way? Windows XP is noticeably faster than Vista on the same hardware, and it gets by with much less RAM and hard drive space. Microsoft's Service Pack 3 makes XP even faster, but the same cannot be said of Vista's Service Pack 1. And Windows Explorer crashes far more often in Vista (preceded, of course, by the notorious Green Ribbon of Death). Why, XP's staggeringly superior hardware support alone makes a convincing case for dumping Vista in favor of its predecessor.
Problem is, downgrading a Vista PC to Windows XP can be a chore, and doubly so if you want to do it without reformatting your hard disk. The main roadblock is Windows Setup, which won't let you install an older version on top of a newer one; you are left with the tedious task of fooling Setup into thinking that there's no Windows at all on your PC.-Next: Regress Without Reformatting >
Thumbnails In Windows Explorer
Dec 26, 2008For all my photos, unless I view them in "Windows Photo Gallery which is inconvenient. I want to view them in Windows Explorer, I do not see real true thumbnails, I just see this default scene of water, green hills and sky. I have followed the instructions here Thumbnails in Windows Explorer here Default Programs - Program Default Associations (tho I wasn't thrilled about making Windows Photo Gallery my default program for JPG, I followed these instructions anyhow).
I NEVER had a problem like this in XP. I'm beginning to understand why Vista has such a bad reputation. Using (or attempting to use) Vista Home Premium 64-bit, BTW, (much less important question) why doesn't my Photoshop Elements even show up as an option when I set default programs? This problem was annoying before but to still have it after going thru all these forum instructions is really annoying.

View 7 Replies View RelatedWindows And Explorer Freezes Up
Apr 19, 2009Vista Home Premium installed. I've had it for about a month now, and everything was going fine until this past Wednesday, 4/15/09, when Windows Update installed a few things. They were basically security fixes for Windows and Office, and I installed an optional update for my HD audio. After restarting, my computer began freezing, seemingly at random. At first, it would freeze in any program I was in, and everything would become totally unresponsive, except for the mouse cursor. Task Manager would not come up, it wouldn't log off or go to sleep, and there would be no option left except to hard reset. I did a system restore to before the update, but no help.
I did one to four days before, still no help. I've run all the usual checks and scans, including virus and malware, to no improvement. I disabled all options for start up, but no help there either. It runs fine in safe mode, both with and without networking, and if I disable all services except those and restart, it'll run fine I started enabling services, a few at a time, to test which one was causing all the trouble, but then the freezing pattern changed. Now, it generally will not freeze programs I'm working in, but as soon as I need Windows Explorer for anything, it freezes up dead. The last time, even the mouse was stuck.

Mar 30, 2008In XP I always use theWindows Explorer Details view and I could quickly sort files in ascending or descending order by Date. That was extremely helpful when copying and/or backing up files in one folder. However, in VISTA it seems as if I can only Group Files by Date. Am I missing something? Or can I actually sort files by DATE in ascending or descending order? Also, once I set up Windows Explorer the way I like it [Details View], how do I make that the default for all windows?
