View 9 RepliesI have Windows Vista Ultimate. Every time I turn on my computer, little pop up windows tell me to set a password as a way to activate Parental Controls. HOWEVER, I do not need Parental Controls - I am the only user of the computer and I have not activated the Guest Account or created any other user account. And I do not want to give a password to myself? How can I stop these annoying pop up windows from popping up EVERY time I turn on my computer?

View 4 Replies View RelatedIn Windows XP, the Microsoft mail program would allow more that one e-mail address for a person. When you sent a e-mail, all the addresses would show before you sent the e-mail. In Vista, Microsoft Mail will allow you more than one address per person, but when I put the name in the "TO Box", only one address for that person shows up. In XP I could pick the address just before the e-mail was sent, but I can't seem to find a was to do it in Vista.

When I log on with my id the ASUS utiities execute with no UAC intervention (load at startup). When my wife logs on (uses account), several ASUS programs (part of aisuite) start up and require a UAC interaction to approve the execution. The request displays in the Task Bar. Is there an option where UAC does not request execution approval under my wife's id?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have had Vista for several months and still can't figure out how to get addresses to show up when I start an e-mail. I am having to go to contacts and write the address some place, then copy it on to the e-mail. I have read that this Vista Mail can remember only 29 addresses, I think. If I have not used an address for a time, just HOW do I get it without having to go to so much TROUBLE? Sometimes there is a drop-down from which I can choose, but not always. It is very frustrating and just a pain after using Outlook Express where you had only to type in a letter or two to get the address you wanted.

Complete description:
Title: Microsoft Internet Explorer

Why would my desktop items suddenly move around whenever I reboot? I'm not talking about program/file icons but rather the clock and calender on the right hand side of my desktop. It's a section I never touch--just a clock, calender, and image of the month (photo for calender). Now, suddenly, when I start up the computer, these things appear on top of one another or rearranged. It's odd, but irritating to me now. I can find no mention of this anywhere online. Some people have issues with rearranged icons, etc., such as in vertical vs. horizontal rows, etc. etc. But not random movements of utilities, etc. Anyway. Any suggestion would help.
I removed an old copy of Word (XP Professional) in preparation for theinstallation of Office Home. Now, whenever I do almost anything,the windows installer keeps popping up, looking for the XP Pro disk (andPRO.MSI in particular.)
I can no longer locate that old XP disk, and now I cannot install the newversion! I tried removing some references to Office 10 in the registry,but that didn't help. How can I remove the constant "nagging" and install the new software?
Every second or so my disk access light on the pc flashes - Windows XP Premium SP1. I have tried every tool I can think of to try and find out why but I am at a loss. This is my fourth install and on the first 2 this didnt happen. I have switched off everything I can think of that may be causing this (prefetch, defender, indexing etc) bit it still goes on. Is there any way I can track down what is happening? Vista was installed 7 days ago.
View 9 Replies View RelatedThere are emails that are not getting through to my computer. I suspect it is McAfee Total Protection's Anti-Spam. It is set to its lowest level. There is an Anti-Spam folder, but they don't go there either. My ISP (Roadrunner) is set to send all emails to me, so it is not them. We are very careful computer users and do not open attachments. How dangerous would it be to disable the Anti-Spam?

Have you recently installed a system utility or a productivity application such as Adobe Photoshop or Macromedia Dreamweaver and have been bombarded with registration messages that pop-up every time your start the application? Even when you check the box and tell the application never to remind you ever again?
This happens to me all the time and is very annoying. The culprit of this problem is... you guessed it, UAC!
Your application keeps asking you to register because the registry key that it checks to see if you should still be harassed into registration is never getting set thanks to UAC. When I check the box or hit the Never remind me again button the registry write gets virtualized because the app tried to write to a part of the registry a standard user does not have access to. This is a feature of UAC and it does a great job of redirecting the registry write so the application does not crash out. However, since the application is not aware of this virtualized write location it keeps checking the registry value of the key in the normal location. Since the application has read only access to that location the key will keep getting virtualized every time you check the box and is why the registration boxes keep popping up.
How do you get out of this mess? Real simple, just run the application as an Administrator ....
I'm on Vista Ultimate, how can I disable the annoying warning alerts that pop up from system tray?
for example:
-- "this device can perform faster" (doesn't even tell you what device..)
-- Java update available.
-- user account warning
-- and all other annoying warnings
I want to disable all these warning alerts,
How can you turn off the annoying User Account Control feature without Vista telling that you have turned it off, and having an icon in the system tray telling you that it is turned off?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've got a problem whereby when I try to access mail using Windows Mail, the programme pops up a window (entitled Windows Security) which asks for my user name and password... but it doesn't accept these when I enter them. Windows Mail had been working OK up until this started to happen yesterday. I have tried clicking tools, then accounts then properties and then re-entering the correct password and user name (ie the password and user name that I use to access the Internet... which, incidentally, still works OK for
Internet access)... but it still doesn't accept them. Everytime I try to send or receive email and enter the password and user name in the Windows Security window ... the window appears again and asks for them again.
