Save As Box Function On Vista
Nov 18, 2009
I save a lot of zip files to my documents ( ww1 research ) When I used to click on one of these links On XP I used to get a ' save as ' box, and it was simple. Now I get this When I double click on this I get Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong? Where is the good old XP save as function, on Vista? It shouldn't be this difficult. It's incredibly frustrating, to have £500 worth of computer, and have to resort to my old xp Fujitsu ( on it's last legs ) to download my files.

We all should give up using computers for a short while and start doing simple things in life, like read some books or some thing.Look what Vista has done to some people and in particular to Frank(The King of all Vista fanboys), he was unable to read my name, his spelling is worse than spell checker( I don't know whether he has one). And look at some of the solutions given by some MVPs,it goes like this:
1.It is not Vista's fault, get help from your hardware manufacturer.
2.This is only a Vista forum go to manufacturer's help desk.
3.You paid for your PC why not spend another X amount and buy new Router.
4.Vista won't function with old hardware.
5.You do not need to know what Vista does, it takes care of your needs and you simply press the buttons and Vista will do everything for you.
I can go on but I do not wish to bore you to death. I very rarely get any constructive help from these MVPs, only one chap from another forum gives proper answers and some brilliant Tutorials. But you all can give it a go with a fantastic system called Ubuntu.

I have W.Vista Home Premium & MS Office 2007. I am trying to insert my 'signature' into both sending and replying to my e-mails. I have followed the help instructions as I wanted to change the font to another style, colour etc. However 'Help' tells you to format your signature in a WP package and save in html format. Easy, I thought! In Word 2007 when you try to Save As - the html option si not in the drop down menu. so i tried in Wordpad, no luck ther either. how I save to html in vista? I had no problems in W.XP. Wish I had not had to change!

Something has changed in my Home Premium system such that I can no longer save to the desktop! When I try, I get an error message stating " You don't have permission to save in this location." I do not recall changing ANY permissions to prevent this. I did have a problem installing Office Home 2007 and maybe that caused a change. Where do I need to go to set the permission back to allow me to save to the desktop?

I may have to re-install the Vista operating system on my primary hard drive. According to Dell, installing/re-installing Vista will erase any existing files (gee, why couldn't they have configured Vista like XP which would save your data?).So as not to loose my files, my plan is to install a new primary hard drive. And once the new drive is functioning properly, to add the old one as a data only secondary drive (The drive hasn't failed, it's just inaccessable due to a user logon password issue which I'm working in another thread). Does anyone see a problem with reading the data files/folders on the old drive? Will the existance of an operating system be a problem? I'm hoping the drive will act as a ghosted drive, and the answer will be no.

How to disable the email function of Vista Mail (you could do this in Outlook Express). I want Windows Mail for newsgroups only. In OE, the thing I'm asking about effectively it got rid of the mail folders (inbox, sent items etc). I use Outlook 2007 for my default email. I have deleted all email accounts in Windows Mail, but would like to know if there is a similar function as with OE.

Yes, it locks up. Not sure why I have Vista Home, 32bit. I'm not extremely computer literate, but if you tell me where to find the info I can do that - no problem. I try not to have too many windows open, maybe 3 internet and maybe my email, Word, Excell, and a DB manager.
I can be operating just fine and the computer will lock up and it is not consistent with any particular function, but it is consistent in that it happens all day long every day. My resolution is the Task Manager, but even that can take a minute. I'll be glad to provide more info, I just need to know the questions.

* Use Karmic's kernel, not Jaunty's. * Check that slmodemd is not running if you're seeing a dummy/null sink in the volume control applet. * Install linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic (then reboot) if you have a very new computer. * Use a temporary alternate channel mapping for PulseAudio if you have an ice17xx-based sound card. * Configure PulseAudio to ignore your sound driver's misreported dB information if you experience "overdriven" sound. * Attach a verbose PulseAudio runtime log to your PulseAudio bug report. * Attach an ALSA codec dump to your linux bug report if jack sense (e.g., connecting headphones mutes internal laptop speakers) does not seem to function properly.

Under Vista, when I want to use the "SEND" option of WORD or other OFFICE apps, the only active options I have is to SAVE the email, the SEND function is disabled. Is there a way of making the SEND function active within these apps or is this just another function that vista doesn't emulate - as it did in every other os preceding it?

i am currently using dell inspiron 1440 laptop with windows vista ultimate 64 bit...my problem is, that every time i have to use any function key (like f1 or f2 etc) i have to press "Fn" key as well to get the desired result...for example...for refreshing any page instead of pressing only "f5"....i have to press "fn+f5".the same goes with all function keys....and while playing some games it becomes very annoying to press fn key each time i have to press any function key....is there any way to reverse the function of fn key...because by simply pressing f5 my brightness increases. so all i want is that i should be able to use "only f5" for refreshing the page and "fn+f5" to increase the brightness ....

I am so annoyed at the current way left/right arrow keys work in folders. When I have one open and want to browse through it moving from file to file using the left arrow, I have to press the down arrow at each row end instead of the left arrow just moving to the next line. Is there anything I can do to change that?

I have been having a great deal of problems getting my Vist desktop to connect to the Internet. It was working fine until I had to remove my wireless router. Anyway, I spent a over 2 hours on the pnone with both my ISP and HP helpdesks but they could not resolve the issue. My XP laptop connects fine to the Internet so I know the signal from the modem is fine...it is an issue with Vista.
Anyway, the problem is that is Vista will not run the ipconfig /renew command in the CMD function. I was able to use ipconfig /release OK but not the renew. I am in the CMD funtion as an administrator so that is not the issue. I even did a system recovery to a few days ago and reinstalled the network adapter but that hasn't helped. I have searched online for an answer to this problem with little success. Is there some way to force Vista to renew ther ip address?

When I try to use the Search function in Explorer (search C:), it almost consistently fails to find the file, yet when I do a manual search, the file is there in all it's glory. I've checked spellings, used wildcards, etc., but still Explorer fails to find the files.

MS Vista Home Premium I am trying to use MS paint and the 'A' tool on the tool bar is grayed out and not clickable. Do I have to pay to use this tool? Also if I go to view the 'Text Toolbar' option is checked but again it is grayed out. I am no expert on windows but I thought paint was included with the OS. PS Don't bother telling me that some other program is better, I just need to plan my flower garden and MS paint is fine for that.
