With XP once you entered the first or second letter of the a name in your contact group it displayed a whole name for you to choose. Vista doesn't seem to do this or am I missing something?

An email's html formatting allows for immediately greater insight into any given matter, e.g. I would like to pose my question in the form of a technical support requirement email message and graphically illustrate my use of the interface window to show the idea taking place pictorially - in this case an email message body during composition and suggest how editing it may be enhanced - it is simplest done using an image pasted into the body of text as a diagram or 'fig. 1' with legend or caption....

I do not however see this as currently available and would otherwise resort to an available email address for Microsoft product support despite communities having this resource of knowledgeable and well-versed people. If it directly reaches MS personnel with the benefit of knowing it is received in this way, it is likely closer by far to the best answer or resolution available...................
I'm very disappointed that windows mail doesn't support folders in the contact area. I hope some one from Microsoft see this and they reconsider putting a update to re add this feature. I just got this computer and already I want to send it back. I really need folders to keep my contacts sorted. Either add the option or let me download the old Outlook to install. And buying Office outlook is not a option.
View 9 Replies View RelatedHave two computer. One is Vista premium (32-bit) and the other Win XP Media. The XP can see the shared C: drive on the Vista. However, Vista can't see the shared C: drive on XP. Yet, Vista can map a drive letter using \station1c format. (station1 is XP). So if I can map a drive letter, why can't Vista see the XP drive in the Network icon? All it sees is itself (station2).

In other words, Vista seems to insist on the currently running system living on C: (like in the olden days). I thought since W2K Windows can be installed on any drive e.g. my old system has W98 on C: (no choice there) but W2K boots from and stays on D:.
I have an external USB floppy drive that got assigned the drive letter B when it was plugged into one of the usb ports on the back of my PC. I need to change it to letter A.

View 9 Replies View RelatedLike with most other settings in Vista 64 Bit, ...Windows starts loosing it mind/(memory). Windows takes the meaning of "settings" to mean, "user temporary suggestions only". I'm sure somewhere in the fine print of "The Window's Handbook" it somewhat clearly states: Window's settings are subject to change at "any" given moment, time or place . (Period) Settings will change clearly at whim of... well,...just about "most any" given reason or causation, usually when you least expect it, and surly to extract the most pain & suffering.
I just went though a series of reboots working "other" problems,...when my external hard drives or "Mass Storage Units" along with all my flash "thumb" drives... got scrambled.

partition on his 1 terabyte HD with Windows 7 premium installed. In Computeradmin. it shows: The HD is partitioned with: boot partition without a letter - 100 MB. OEM partition also without a letter - 20 MB.
C: partition, system - 945 GB.
D: partition, Recover- 20 GB
All partitions are Simple, fundamental, primary partitions. I did reduce the C-partition from 945 to 439 GB. Then I would make a new simpel partition on the unallocated part. I right clicked to create a simple partition, but it said all partitions would be converted to dynamic dishes. I would only have a simple partition, but there was no such choice.
I searched all over and I haven't found a solution, but I know there has to got to be way to do this. I shrank my XP 64 partition and booted from the Vista 64 disk and installed on the unallocated space.
Everything works except:
When I boot into Vista 64 my XP 64 partition is drive D:, how do I change the XP partition to any letter but D:? D: has all my data (when booted into XP 64).
I've read that it can't be done, but there has got to be a way, if I
had a 3 partition triple boot one of those partitions would be something
other than D.
I am running Windows 7, but this would pertain to earlier versions too.I have access to a share, I'll call it \SERVERDocuments. I know how to mount that to a drive letter.

I had this issue once before on a different PC and it was XP not Vista, and got tech support but forgot how to fix it. My spell check in e-mail works fine except misses the letter I standing alone. Tech support took me somewhere (in WORD I think) and we found this box that had the small letter i in it and was not supposed to have anything in it. Spelling rules or something. We removed it and it then worked fine.
View 5 Replies View RelatedTwo of us have been searching for hours (forums, newsgroups, google) on how to create more then 4 partitions in on the same drive in Vista. We understand you can't have any more then 4 primary partitions. Here is how the Dell M1530 XPS came preconfigured as:
Partition 1 = OEM (Dell Utilities)
Partition 2 = Primiary (Dell Recovery)
Partition 3 = Primary (C Drive with Vista)
Partition 0 = Extended
Partition 4 = Logical
NOTE: Partition 0 or 4 is for Dell Media Direct. The volumes are:
Volume 0 E DVD-ROM
Volume 1 D Recovery
Volume C OS
Partition 3 is 220GB in size. I want to shrink it to 60GB's. This would leave about 160GB as Unallocated that I want to format and assign a drive letter to (a Volume I guess). We've also played around with DiskPart a lot, so we're pretty familiar with it, although not experts. All of the instructions on the web are the same, as none of them work with more then 4 partitions of any type.

View 9 Replies View RelatedSeveral days ago I posted a question concerning the inability of my Microsoft Fingerprint Reader to function. I did not receive answers from anyone in the discussion groups. I spent several hours over several days speaking to a Microsoft tech support supervisor trying to get it to work, to no avail, and the case was closed by Microsoft as having no solution available.
This was not acceptable to me, being the curious person I am. I decided, what the hell, I'll just uninstall my OS, reformat and do a clean install. During the install I installed each and every update and application one at a time, checking the function of my fingerprint reader after each update and application, rebooting after each one. I had many updates and applications to install so it took me two days to discover the problem..........
I get an unknown error has occurred and contact cannot be added.

I am hoping that some one knows of a work around for the problem
