I have Vista 6.0 (Build 6001; service pack 1) I'm also running Norton Internet Security. When I go to a website like MySpace most of the pictures are blank and have x's in them. Also if I click on a link before the page finishes loading I get a small icon on the lower left side of with a yellow error flag.

View 9 Replies View Relatednew to the forum... I recently tried to click on my " recently changed" link on the left side of my documents screen, and got this messege, " The item " recently changed.search-ms" that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this short cut will no longer work properly. Do you wish to delete this short cut?" I dont remember deleteing it, and was wondering if anyones seen this before. I'm not really sure if I need this shortcut, but was just wondering if I messed something up inadvertantly. I just recently added a 1TB HDD, but I dont think that had anything to do with the missing shortcut. I have a tendency to do a "delete sweep" in what I thought were like the old temp files...didnt realize this was a shortcut to actual files. Should I try to get the reently changed short cut working again?

-Remove Upper/lower filters (Lower filters were missing, could this be the problem?)
-Switching the sata ports from were the device was connected.
-Upgrading the firmware of the dvd player
-Upgrading the Bios
-Asked here
-Some stupid things.
Windows and the bios do see this drive and give it the correct name. I've already tried this with an other drive and she had this problem to.
I get the words "Authorizing" and "Checking Mail" down near my clock, and I get the little window with the "receiving messages" line, that fills from left to right with the blue line; but then, after the blue line is all the way across, there's a long delay, and I get a window with an error message with the number 0x800CCC13. When I look that error message up on the Microsoft site, it says that means:
0x800CCC13 IXP_E_SOCKET_WRITE_ERROR Unable to read Winsock reply
Interestingly, even though the new messages don't come in, everything else works fine. All the menus and functions are A-OK. I can still compose new messages or replies to earlier messages, and send them out, and they go out just fine. But then, after the new compositions are sent, the program automatically tries to bring in (receive) new messages, and sometimes it succeeds, but sometimes it just runs into the same error message. I've contacted my server and they claim that there is nothing wrong at their end. They think it is a flaw in my Windows Mail program. (On my computer upstairs, which has a later version of Vista and Windows Mail by about one year, Windows Mail works fine.) I've considered the following options:
1. Use System Restore to go back a few months, and see if that puts Windows Mail back to normal.
2. Try to download a new Windows Mail program compatible with my version of Vista (if it's possible to download Windows Mail separately).
I'm worried that if I use the second option it will wipe out all my mail,
which is too important for me to lose.
I tried searching the forums, but couldn't find a solution.I often work with two windows at once (i.e. firefox and excel) and have been trying to figure out how to dock them next to each other so I can work with them easier. I assume this is a simple fix, I just haven't been able to find it yet.
View 7 Replies View RelatedMy problem is this: I am running Windows Vista 64 bit on an ASUS laptop and, after some "experimenting" with binding EXE's on XP and moving them over to Vista, I started receiving the dreaded error message "This program has failed to start because it's side by side configuration is incorrect". Now, I'm no noob when it comes to computers. But I have tried everything I can think of to resolve this problem. THe most common solution I have found is to install the Visual C++ Redistributable, thing is. When I run the installation EXE, the same error appears. I have attempted running in safe mode, system restore, and all the usual options, and every thread with this same problem is often ignored, therefore I have not been able to find a solution.

View 5 Replies View RelatedYou receive the message that your computer is infected and you can see the scan running behind the message box with the OK button? Is there a process to follow and a time frame before all the bad things take root? I have received the message a few times and did the following with what appears to be positive results:
Do not click OK!! Try to close the window with the X box. Shut the computer down in normal fashion. If you cannot do a hard shutdown.Reboot into the safe mode with no networking and run your scans.Reboot normally update your antivirus and scan again. I throught perhaps someone with a lot more knowledge could post a process to follow when you get this message. Is there a way to set key words in the firewall to flag this event??

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a small yellow triangle over many of my program short cut icons on my desktop. I click the program and can not tell why the triagle is there. The programs seem to run okay.
When I go to control pannel-device manager, I have no triagles over any hardware, same if I go into my programs in the hard drive.
It looks like about half the icons on my desk top have this little triagle over them, such as my short cut "network Sharing center" "Webcam Companion" "iexplorer shortcut" "windows update" and a few other programs I have short cuts on the desk top for.
I am using Vista Home premium 64 bit.
I found this today in my device manager. ISATAP adapter 3 with yellow indicating problem.

View 5 Replies View RelatedOne of my Intel Core 2 Quad processor cores has a temperature consistently lower than the other 3 cores, WHY? I have a question. I need to know the reason why one of my cores (Core 2) is running about 3-4 degrees below the temperatures of the other 3 cores on my Intel Core 2 Quad processor. Restarting and rebooting seems not to help, it is always the same core with the lower temperature. Is there something wrong with that particular core or something overly defective with the processor itself??? It rarely ever fluctuates and stays at 33 degrees Celsius. The other core temperatures are around 36-37 degrees at rest/idle and do frequently go up when an action is performed on the computer.
Please let me know what is going on with this consistent core 2 temperature and please provide me with a reason why this is happening. Is it something that is beginning to go with this processor? Is there anything that can be done about it to get all four (4) core temperatures in balance.
